Hi Guys/Gals,

Thought I would share this.

When I was looking for a way to change the S-View clock, all information was either for other devices or simply didn't work, see below for a short 'How To'.

Wallpapers can be found here.

To change your S-View cover clock font, it is as simple as choosing your font, renaming it to 'SamsungSans-Num45.ttf' then pushing it to system\fonts. (not quite this simple but this is the guts of it)

One thing before you race off to do it. You have limited space to deal with, so you can't go too crazy (unless you change the dimensions in an XML I cant remember the location of). You can still change the dimensions in the XML if you want a clock that is larger than stock, but then you would need to move everything so there is no overlap.

To get mine perfect I had to modify the font file, changing the metrics, scale and position as well as character spacing. All fonts are different so there is a bit of trial and error to get it just right.

After making a few more, I found for the best results you need to add the "highdef" glyph from the stock font. After you have added and named it correctly you need to move the place markers to a position that varies for each font. For the bottom marker, move it to just below the baseline (very bottom of the font), for the top marker move it to the same distance above the Winascent as between x-height and capheight (this varies).

To save a little space you can delete all characters except: notdef, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, colon and highdef.

Also, make sure your font is unicode, if it is symbol it won't work. Any good font creator/editor should allow you to convert between the formats.

That's it, now you can mix it up if you want and add things like I did with the Mario font (colon).

Installation:

1. Use a custom recovery and simply install the Zip

or

2. Extract the font, push it to system\fonts and set permissions -rw-r--r-- then hot-reboot or reboot.

Uninstall (revert to stock):

Just flash the Stock font zip from here.

If you make any fonts post them here so we can all share.:)

Enjoy.

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find the correct information.

PS: This is not the lock-screen clock font this is only for the S-View clock. The lock-screen clock is a set of .png's in an apk (Keyguard if I remember correctly) that you can edit.

For changing the background as well as other useful stuff check this out. It's an Xposed module with a paid front end.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] TurkXtreme:
Can we flash it with odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] coldmethod:
I would say no, just use CWM, TWRP or any custom recovery variant. Or extract the font file and push it to system\fonts with your favourite root explorer set permissions rw-r-r then reboot and enjoy.

[AT&T LG G2] CZ Eddie:
I realize nobody here actually KNOWS if it will be locked or not.

But as an AT&T Samsung guy of the last few years, I can pretty much guarantee you the Galaxy Note 4 will have a locked bootloader when it arrives in a few months. Bank on it! Nobody will be flashing AOSP on it.

But I don't know anything about LG's history at AT&T. Do you guys think it will have a locked bootloader, and no chance of flashing CyanogenMOD/AOSP type ROM's?

And if you think you can give a probable answer on the same question for T-Mobile LG G3, that would be helpful also.
[AT&T LG G2] XxZombiePikachu:
You do know that LG G2 has locked bootloader so that can guarantee a locked bootloader on the G3, and just because they have locked bootloaders it doesn't mean there won't be any flashing the community will always find a way

Sent from LG-D800 on D80020k stock+root
[AT&T LG G2] CZ Eddie:
Sorry, I tried to give the impression that I did not know anything about the LG G2.

Yeah, tell that to the poor AT&T Galaxy S4 guys. Anyone who didn't buy the S4 in the first couple months is still waiting, ~ten months later, for the ability to flash AOSP.

Same goes for the AT&T Note 3 people.
[AT&T LG G2] XxZombiePikachu:
well sorry I speak from the scene I'm in and that's the g2 and we have had a locked bootloader from the very beginning but then devs found an exploit in the bootloader which allowed a "fix" and allowed us to flash custom roms/kernels even now we have kk and currently there is no exploit for bootloader but we do have a loophole, the lg g flex came out with a locked bootloader and it has custom recovery but kk is still being worked on, and as for Samsung they have always tried to beef up security so I could see why things would be more difficult but who knows maybe the note 4 won't be so bad(for all we know it could be running tizen os)
[AT&T LG G2] CrashTestDroid:
The problem with locked bootloaders is that it cripples the phone's first few months (at least) by preventing devs from making anything useful. Then by the time the bootloader is worked around, you've got a whole new crop of hardware and the old stuff isn't interesting anymore. Apple's the worst, but Samsung is trying hard to supplant Apple as the anti-developer king. Now's the time for LG to steal Samsung's lunch by unlocking bootloaders and getting a broader developer base and CM support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JTSDeveloper:
can someone explain how to use bypasslkm in further detail. i looked through multiple threads but im stilll not getting the handle on it,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sfgrimes:
Open your terminal emulator on your phone (download one from Google play if you don't have one) open the terminal and type the following commands (Pressing enter to execute each one)

su (sands for switch user, used alone will switch you to the "root" user. Equilivent to Admin in windows)

cd /data/local/temp (cd - change directory, followed by the complete folder path you want to navigate to)

chmod 755 bypasslkm (not going to get too in depth with this one because I could go on for a while with it but "chmod 755" changes the permissions to read, write, execute for the root user and read/execute for everyone else)

. /bypasslkm (. / tells the system to look in the current directory and, in this case, execute bypasslkm)

Hope this helps clear some things up for you! :)

I had the same issue. Here is the binary from Surges dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/9rdz9ff6x5foech/bypasslkm

Make sure you copy it to the right directory and follow all the commands. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
To add to the above post, after downloading that just execute this in terminal

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
find . -name "bypasslkm" -exec cp {} /data/local/tmp \;
find /data/local/tmp -name "bypasslkm" -type f -exec chmod 755 {} \;
./data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
exit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JTSDeveloper:
I got the following error trying to execute after downloading the bypasslkm file and doing what you said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Thats not an error. If you had bypasslkm anywhere on your phone, it should now be in /data/local/tmp with the right permissions and should have executed. Make sure you downloaded the bypasslkm binary linked above

Edit: Also just copy and paste the whole script to make things easier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JTSDeveloper:
It's still not working. Any ideas? Should I move it directly into /data/local/tmp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JTSDeveloper:
I downloaded the binary from above and pasted it directly in data/local/tmp then tried it and it still didn't work :/ what should the permissions on the file be? I'm a noob at this stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The permissions should be 755, as Surge said.

If you KNOW it's in /data/local/tmp, then do this in a terminal emulator window:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
/data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit

If this doesn't work, DO NOT post just "it didn't work". Say what you did, why you think it failed. Capture the output and reply here with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
Solution to the 755 bypasslkm issue!!!!!

I figured it out! Here is exactly what I did:

after downloading the bypasslkm.bin from the dropbox link, I used ES File Explorer (WITH ROOT ENABLED) to move the bypasslkm file to directly to the data/local/tmp location. NOTE: there are a few places marked "data" and "local" on the phone, so when you open a "data" folder, make sure you find the path in the right order [ i.e. first data, then local, and then tmp]

Using a ROOT FILE EXPLORER app (because ES doesn't have what you will need) go to the bypasslkm file, long press, and select permissions. It will display with permissions are currently set. At the bottom, it SHOULD display the total sum of the permissions selected. Basically, that means by selecting the right boxes, you can change the permissions to 755 !

7 5 5

user group world

r+w+x r+x r+x

4+2+1 4+0+1 4+0+1 = 755

These setting will give you the 755 that you need to pull this off .

When you have the permissions changed to 755, the last step was actually very easy. But if you want to play it safe, then I will tell you the root file browser I specifically used to do the last step.

I used the app Root Browser version 2.2.3 ( i literally googled for any generic root file explorer and this came up )

ok, so when you have the permissions changed, long press on the bypasslkm file.

select "Open With" and then select the option "Open As.."

At the bottom of the options is "script file" select it.

after doing so, select the option "Execute" and... Voila! I immediately regained my WIFI !!!!! \>w</

I hope this guide helped everyone out. I tried to be as specific as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JTSDeveloper:
worked perfectly and all my confusion is now gone thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
Fix works but new issue

Thanks for the support. Glad I could help. Has your WIFI remained on, though? The solution I posted works, but only for a short amount of time. rebooting the system undoes the work I did and I have to go back into the root browser and execute the file all over again to get wifi.

Can Surge or someone else offer any expertise?

with the permissions changed properly, I tried executing the code, and still not working.

I have safestrap enabled, and I have sound restored. I am currently on android 4.3 from the downgrade provided by Surge. Its rooted.

If I were to upgrade to the rooted version of NC5, would that help fix the wifi issue, or would it carry over?

Any input going forward is appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It is possible to automate this.

Create a file with the following contents:

#!/system/bin/sh
/data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
exit

Save this file as /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh.

Make sure that the bypasslkm file is in /data/local/tmp.

Reboot, and you should now have WiFi again.

[Note: this assumes SuperSU has it's custom copy of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh in place. If that's not there, it's still possible to edit /init.rc to add a stanza to run this command.]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
Issue with auto-running my solution

I do NOT have supersu's install recovery 2 file in the location you said. I only have the regular install recovery file.

What I should I do? Could I create the file in laptops termial?

The first line of code gave me the error "file not found"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
update

I tried again.

Ok, so I figured out the coding a little bit. Im not used to this, so forgive my ignorance.

I did the code as u typed it. BUT I made a change. Because I kept getting the "file not found " error. I added ".bin" to the end of the bypasslkm code line. It generated a real response. I felt relieved. I went ahead and typed the last line of code.

THEN I was told the file already exists... I have attached a picture of what I got in android Terminal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You should have /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

It will run /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh if it exists. What I would do is to create the file on your PC, put it onto your SDcard on the PC, then use Root Explorer to put it into place.

The "file exists" error is because you already have the WiFi module installed. That won't happen when this script runs at boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
Question

Ok. I'll try that tonight.

But I have a few questions

Im basically trying to autostart the wifi module when the phone boots up right? Are there any apps that can accomplish this specific task?

Also about the downgrade in general. Did anyone get their SD card permissions restored after downgrading? I donwgraded to 4.3, rooted the phone, and somehow I STILL cant move apps to the sd card! Im beginning to suspect that thr issue may be with the card itself, which can be fixed with formatting the sd card. But has anyone had any problems with moving apps to the sd card?

Finally, the bug question concerning the wifi issue.

Is this probkem specific only to those with the downgrade? If so, should upgrading to Surge's rooted kitkat (with sd card permissions and tethered enabled) resolve the wifi issue?

I also noticed that I had wifi access when the phone had no sound. Only when I flashed the Non-HLOS bin file did I encounter this wifi issue.

Thanks for the feedback so far, I just need to understand whrre to go from here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I'm sure there are programs that can be set up to run scripts as root during boot; However, that's complicated since you want this to run while the phone is booting, before there's any opportunity to allow SuperSU to ask for permission.

That's a problem that's fixed by an edit to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, adding a stanza that permits external storage write access.

The need to run the "bypasslkm" program is because of the downgrade. If you go to a clean rooted Kit Kat ROM, it shouldn't have any issues with WiFi being enabled. That may be the easiest way to fix this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
In that case...

If that is the case, then I will try following Surge's steps for the kitkat NC5 upgrade with those special permissions enabled.

Where could I get directions for adding the stanza to fix the sd card permissions? A link to that thread would be really appreciated.

Thabks to K1mu for the feedback and support ^^ I'll post back here to let anyone know whether Surge's upgrade fixed the issues.

The External Storage fix is post #10 here.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbanadonedFace:
Checking around these forums gets me a bit worried as an owner of a Verizon Galaxy S4 Mini. I cannot for the life of me find a version of CWM Recovery available for my model of the device SCH-I435, nor does it appear that the versions of KitKat out already support this model. I can generally only find things for the GT-I9190 or GT-I9195 models of the phone.

Am I just not looking hard enough, or am I going to be out of luck when I go to find a KitKat ROM to flash once it's officially released this or next month?

Hi,

I was on stock bootloader and stock OTA 4.03 ICS rom. I wanted to upgrade to jellybean rom from tegraowners. I am now stuck in recovery mode.

Here are the steps i did.

1) rooted my A500 succesfully

2) With the Blackthunder APX flash tool i flashed in auto mode the Skrilax_CZ V8 bootloader (with multiboot) also succesfully.

3) Then i flashed with ADB.exe the 1.8.1 Touch recovery image that also went well and succesfully flashed it.

4) Booted in recovery mode and wiped data.

5) Went to install from external zip the latest jellybean rom from tegraowners wich is ofcourse on my sd card.

6) It started to formatting my system partition ( i think it was on 7%) and then it suddenly restarts my tab.

Now the only thing i have is power + -VOL is my recover mode and power + +VOL is my other menu i have wich contain the fastboot menu.

From there i am stuck and don't know what else i can do.

I do have my UID number and SBK.

Here is a screenshot of what i have in recovery mode:

Thanks and hopefully someone can help!
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmazak:
You will have to do a "real" data format. And for more help with ROMs from "other" forums you should ask on those "other" forums.

You will find the moderators here do not condone those "other" ROMs.
[Acer Iconia A500] rickdtweet:
Perform a real format, then flash a ROM again (you'd better go to Tegraowners.com for more support), but if the problem persists then it may be a bad download, which means you have to download and flash your recovery again. However at TegraOwners you can also find the latest TWRP recovery.

Hi everyone, I just had my phone repaired at the factory, sent in with a stock T-Mobile 4.2.2 ROM, but came back with KNOX.

I HAVE NOT booted the phone up -- I put it into download mode only to see the KNOX flags. But it's probably been booted before for testing at the factory.

Is there anything I should/can do before I turn it on normally (to help with ridding myself of KNOX problems)?

Eventually, I want to root it and/or install a custom ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aarongillion63:
You can go ahead and boot up. There's nothing you can do right now at this moment that will save you versus later in time.

If they wiped your data and you're starting fresh, you may want to look into it soon as so you don't gain personal data which then you'll need to back up (extra step).

As for rooting/custom roms I cannot speak for the S4 but I can look into it if requested. But you could (I mean hopefully..) search the forums just as well as I can, so..

Hope this helps,
