Use "better terminal emulator magic". You'll find it on the market. The one you're using is probably designed for G1.

is it possible to copy the files with the help of an app like Root Explorer?
or do i need to follow the steps with the terminal?
thanks
if you can do that so yes...
if you can do that so yes...
the terminal is just a command line to copy the fonts on the existing ones.,,,
i am rooted and copying your commands word for word and it keeps telling me:
/sdcard/DroidSans-Bold.ttf: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong here?

i bet you had the fonts file in the galaxy internal memory and not in the sd card.
put the font files in sd card !
you must run the command line and point it to the fonts location... in my way i had the fornts in the sd card and pointed the commandline to the sd card.
let me know.

Figured it out...... yes the files were on the SD card. I may not have a high post count but i have been doing this for a while and know the difference.
I had to edit the string after using a root file explorer to find the exact location.
/sdcard/sd/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Worked after that.
Still having issues though as it seems that only the bold font copied over as the general font is just showing as squares still....
Hi,
I followed the guide and it works flawlessly - Thank you !
Although I can see, read and write in Hebrew, there are still 2 issues that I am not able to solve:
1) Email subject in Hebrew (when viewed) come up in reverse order.
2) Audio files tagged in Hebrew are presented in gibberish. (In the player)
Anyone else witnessed these issues ? and more importantly, has anyone found a solution for it ?
Thanks !
Worked for me - used adb shell instead of typing into terminal
same problem in subjects of emails - the bodies are presented correctly
I appreciate your work but... It's a very old solution.
can you do it this way:
before all. your device must be rooted!
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?q18y6ttlrl9h78r
Method 1:
download this file and flash it into the recovery.
Method 2:
search for rom manger in the market and install it
flash the recovery of amon ra.
now select "flash from sd card" and navigate to .zip file
and we finish.
*this Method work for all devices*

change my Mac adress

I cant seem to find anything about the sgs 1 and changing its mac adress (permanently/temporarily) ?
Can someone help pleaseeee!!!
Thanks in advance
I dont think we can change the mac address.
can't you spoof it?
I havent heard of this in android yet.

Mac address is a permanent address hard coded into the phone's hardware, or any wireless device's hardware for that matter.. Each wireless device in the world has its own unique mac address, just as each computer's bios has its own unique code..
You cannot change your device's mac address..

I started to grant SuperUser rights to my terminal app . After this, i started with the command "busybox iplink show eth0" and received the following error message:
iplink: can't find device "eth0"
Additionally tried the other command (with eth0) and there is the following error message:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADD: No such device
Im using a Samsung I9000 with root access and all root-related apps already have root access all in all.
Even when Im typing ":su" or ":busybox ~", the device means:
sh: :busybox: not found
I don't get it, the terminal can work without these colons but the "eth0" could not be found, too
Any hints/tipps? Would be great, thank you
Wlan0 not eth0 no Ethernet on galaxy s

At first, thanks for the fast reply and I think your right..
..but at least, I already tried "Wlan0"
It seems, that the command (including wlan0) could be executed and I'm also able to display the wlan0 settings by typing: busybox iplink show
All related content is displayed including the "wlan0". The recently added mac-adress is successfully taken at this point (xx:xx:xx~ instead of the original one) and could be displayed there but even when im checking for the MAC adress in my android wlan settings, there is still the old one and my smartphone still connects with the old MAC to my gateway
I'm not sure then sorry will have to see if anyone else knows how

Missing Setup Wizard and Lock Screen!

Hi, I have searched hi and low to try and find info on this weird bug. I have flashed my note with Odin with LPY and LQ2 and every time the setup wizard is missing and there is no lock screen when I press the power button. Now I have cleaned the device and wiped it, installed different kernels and nothing fixes it. Anyone else had this problem and knows how to fix it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Same here with LQ2.
Thank god I am not the only one. I have tried everything to fix it. Any luck?
Can anyone shed light on this. I have flashed back to GB which restores the Setup Wizard and Lockscreen button but then when I flash any official ICS rom there is no setup wizard again. Just starts right to the homescreen which mean you can't restore google apps etc.
Lockscreen fix :
You need root and terminal emulator and this code
Get lockscreen back
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync

- type into the command:

sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there.
Type only su <--- (Without commas)
Follow the above procedure and it will work for sure. All Credits goes to the original author

it happened to me once too.just installed the latest terminal emulator from google play and it was done

Tap menu, Preferences, then input method. Then choose your choice. Hoped it helped
Hello,
I had the same problems with the official Terminal Emulator app. (on android-x86 v2.2 emulated with VirtualBox 6.1 on Mac Os)
Another terminal emulator app from google play store does not help.
Preferences in VirtualBox about "input method" also does not help.
SOLUTION:
Inside the loaded virtual Android -> Settings -> Language and Keyboard Settings :
Disable - LIME keyboard.
Set language to default - English (US)
Then open "Android keyboard settings" and disable all extra features:
Vibrate on keypress
Sound on keypress
Auto-capitalization
Quick fixes
Show suggestions
Save settings (or just close).
Close the running Terminal Emulator app.
Start the Terminal app again and it works!
You can type everything you need with your normal keyboard.
Also you can pass some long command string from your host machine to virtual Android with a command like this:
VBoxManage controlvm YOUR_VM_NAME keyboardputstring "dir c:\\"
I have found it here:
Input -> Keyboard -> "Paste as text (send characters)" - Page 2 - virtualbox.org
