I've always had a rooted phone so always had the option to change fonts for free.
It's there anyway to do this without paying?
I was just looking for fonts last night. Great minds think alike.
my rom has fonts
the samsungsans.apk it contains can be placed in a module and sent to /app - that will give you over 1200 fonts to f### about with

There is an app called zfonts. This will give you all the fonts-1000's - xda, google and so on.
Few steps but the app will guide you through it.
Been using it for at least an year after I stopped rooting phones.

That's great thanks, using it now! It's got ads in it though, I haven't seen an ad in yearrrrrrs! I've always had a system wide ad blocker lol
I don't like the non root ad blockers, using a VPN or DNS etc.
I use Firefox now with an extension but obviously that isn't system wide

Hi,
I don't know if you guys already know this or not, but I found this app while I was reading some topics in Android Apps & Games section which works just like Root Explorer but it comes for FREE. The Devs name is jrummy16.
I've attached the apk.
• The original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582
• Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
• Donation link: (Support the Dev if you like it, Please)
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEwOSwiY29tLmpydW1teS5yb290LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
The trick to make the free version to a Pro version is the simplest I've seen and that is,
All you need to do is create this file:
/system/etc/.root_browser
(don't forget the ".")
Re-open the app and voila! you have the premium features.

Pros: (My opinion only)
- FREE
- Unbelievably smooth interface. Way better than Root Explorer.
Cons:
- An Exit button would be nice. Double back works as exit though.
- No Extraction option! However in Root Explorer that option doesn't work properly.
Thanks for sharing.
I been using this program for awhile now and its simply awesome! And best part, FREE! I bought the upgrade version to support the author too.

Yep, it's great and worth buying at that cheap price.
Added Screenshots and a little Pros & Cons list which I've found so far, on the Lite version of course.
Great app and I mean absolutely no disrespect, but I find the font hard to read. Is there any way to use the default system font?
Thanks,
Will give it a try later,
Hopefully using this will stop my pesky Singtel apps
reappearing after rebooting each time!

You need Titanium Backup for that man or you could try Gemini App Manager.

And unfortunately the same thing has happened with this app as well!
Driving me mad this is, can see im going to have to do complete

Currently using -doomlords-easy-rooting-toolkit on Xperia Arc
effectively a great app !

I am an idiot
I posted all but the trick to make the Free version to a Pro version. Now added it anyway. OP Edited.
This thing was great, now it's awesome
[Still those who like this app I'll urge them to get the Donation/Pro version from Market to support dev for continuing his good work]
thank you.
nice app.
Cheers mate, great app. Just got the paid one from the market... Play store. =D
thanks for the info.
but I think its not working. tried to make the file '.root_browser' in /system/etc. but its says 'failed'.
way round failed to create folder
Hi what i did to get round this was downloaded solid explorer (file viewer app in mp) then used that to create folder.
Just as reference though solid explorer is great for copying files to external sd just having probs physically moving files with it but its safer just copying anyhow incase of power loss.
Hope this helps.
I have created an app that will help share apps across users on google's new 4.2 multi user feature.
Thanks to mentose457 and unwired for giving me the idea.
see this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994169)
It works by removing package elements from user's package-restriction.xml file to add the app and adding the package element back to remove the app. (located at \data\system\users\10\package-restrictions.xml where 10 is the user's id)
This is quickly thrown together and will likely have a ton of bugs, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there for testing.
- This is BETA
-You must have ROOT
- This changes system data on non documented files it could screw something up.
- I'm not responsible for any problems this causes or lost data or bricked or broken devices
- please use cation
- it is currently built to run on main user to enable or disable apps on secondary users (once root is fully working on secondary users I will see about making it run correctly on secondary user's account)
- not tested thoroughly with paid apps*
- does not currently support system apps**
- due to the way I pull the app list from the package manager some installed apps may not show as available to add/remove
- apps installed first on a secondary user's profile will probably not show in the list to add/remove
*paid apps seemed to work but I did not have internet access during testing. My theory is that any paid apps that use Google's license verification will not work or not work for long. So adding your Google Account to the secondary user's play store is probably still the best way to share paid apps.
**The entries in the xml for system apps is different. Therefore I will have to research them more before getting it to work or deciding not to mess with those apps. Currently some will show not installed on other users even though they are and removing/adding them will not work correctly.

I'd love to get feedback to what is working and what is not. Also if anybody figures out anything more about the package-restriction.xml file I'd love to hear it. Especially when it comes to system apps.
Thanks mate added my sons Google account and it is all running perfectly. Seperate saves and account details for apps and allowing me to share my paid ones with him
First review on play store is up.
Will have a mess around with apps and report back but it appears to be running sweet at the moment

That is a known issue (if you want to call it that). For me it's not a problem as my second user is a guest just like on my computer.

I know, that's why I quoted the user I meant to answer
It wasn't meant as a negative comment, as I think this app is very useful.
I tried this with ten games and all worked fine (free and paid) except Retro Racing. It works with primary user but crashes with secondary user.

Do you think it is possible to have a shared folder for fotos and musik for multiple users?
some one post the apk my devices are not compatible lol
Great idea! My solution involves just buying everyone their own tablets.

Should work on any tablet running 4.2 (or phone if your custom rom enables the multiple user profiles)

Currently I only have it available in the market to tablets to avoid confusion for people wondering why it doesn't work with their phone. Maybe I will change that since only nexus devices or phones with custom roms are running 4.2. Those users tend to be a little smarter and know if their phone has multiple user profiles or not.
Here is a link to the apk for anybody that can't see it in the market.

The shared folder idea is interesting but beyond the scope of this app. Probably could do it with symlinks or something (not very knowledgeable in linux). Maybe I will look into it and either make another app or find a way to make it fit in with this app.
Yes. Symlinking the photos/music folders outside /data/ should work. But I don't have a 4.2 device(nor willing to set up an emulator) so I'm unsure.
Looking forward to trying on my p5113 CM 10.1

Google Play billing service is for accepting donations via in app purchase. Under settings anybody can donate if they feel the app has value to them... so far I've gotten two $1 donations...lol
network access is for connecting to internet for ads and also for ACRA (Application Crash Report for Android) it basically sends error reports to me to help fix errors. It can be disabled under settings if you do not want it reporting errors.

Try MoaAB (Mother Of All Ad Blocking). No need of app. Just a simple host file. Search in Google 'MoaAB'
Hosts files can be very dangerous, you need to trust the source of those files. I am using AdAway because I trust them.
Other blockers might seem to "work" too, but I don't trust them. You don't know when your bank account (or any account for that matter, even this site sign-in) gets re-directed and where.

Lots of people are using this mod & no one ever reported something like that!
The following Hosts file by StevenBlack are best. And they are frequently updated. Grab it from github. Use Google chrome from your phone and check "Request desktop website" before proceeding the below link.
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
1. click hosts
2. long click on RAW button and save the link. This will download the hosts file in txt format.
3. remove the .txt extension
4. Copy the hosts file to following path
/system/etc
5. Change permissions of the hosts to rw-r-r
That's it..!
Many people decide not to root their Android device. Because of this, Android modification can get tricky and is very limited. Luckily, with Adguard you’re able to block ads on websites, apps and protect yourself from phishing and malicious trackers. Adguard creates a local VPN connection in order to filter ads, trackers and other malicious content. Any possible connections to Adguard are encrypted, so your data is safe. Adguard is hands-down the best solution if you don’t have root access to your Android device.

If anyone is interested this did not work on my rooted pixel XL on nougat 7.1.1
Update: I made it work by putting the folder into /system/priv-app and then renaming the app to just YouTube. Then I used TWRP to change the folder permissions to 755 and the apps permissions to 644 thanks to the advice of another user.
Adblock: As a free extension., this add-on can stop the ads from being downloaded to your computer and makes pages load faster by preventing files from being downloaded automatically. It's the hottest one I have used.
Ghostery: A privacy and security browser extension that can protect blocking third-party tracking scripts that are used by websites to collect data on user behavior for advertising.
UBlock Origin: It’s said that uBlock uses significantly less resources than Adblock Plus. With fast speed and small occupation, it can help you block the ads effectively. However, comparing with ABP, this blocker can’t do the whole things ABP do.
But the fact is that some plug-ins will cause Youtube errors. The loss outweighs the gain, sometimes.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, if it has just delete my post. There's a new app in playstore called Adhell. Seems to work great so far it does not require root but does require admin access to use the builtin samsung firewall to block the ads. Also includes a package disabler but I have not used it yet. Best of all the app is free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getadhell.androidapp&hl=en
I have been using this app for quite awhile now and it does it's job. My phone is not rooted and the app is very silent and has a few options. Definitely worth a try.
Thanks for the tip, I find myself grappling with the question "Do I need to be rooted still or not" .... its getting less and less prevalent. Ad Block is one of the last features still requiring it I'll check this out when I reflash and not rooted :good:
