Everyone having a problem with shutting down.
Make sure all files are in the correct folder. If needed unzip files put them on your sd card then put in /system/media/video/shutdown.
The correct permissions are /system/media/video
rwxr-xr-x and /system/media/video/shutdown is rwxr-xr-x. Then in the shuttdown folder all the .png files are rw-r-r
Also all the file names are case sensitive. Make sure everything is lower case.

Has someone already tested this Mod on the Xperia ZL?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202383
Yes it works !!!!!
Yes I installed it, tested it and can confirm it works on the Sony Xperia ZL.
First I rooted the phone using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
Then I download the files to computer then to my SD Card/external storage on smartphone.
Back up all necessary file from system/app such systemui.apk, systemui.odex, taskswitcher.apk, settings.apk and settings.odex files to my sd card/external storage in case it went wrong.
Deleted the systemui.odex and settings.odex files.
Copy on files at a time for example the systemui.apk file to the system folder then changed the permission to rw-r--r-- then delete and move the the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder. I did the same for teh other files as well.
Finally reboot the smartphone and voila it should work.

Thank you for your explanations, because I also have the problem.
I have some questions:
1. I did not use this method to root, which for me is more complicated. Is that my problem may be here?
2. What recovery are you using?
3. can you detail me this because I do not understand:
"Copy on files at a time for example the systemui.apk file to the system folder then changed the permission to rw-r--r-- then delete and move the the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder. I did the same for teh other files as well.
In the topic, asked to remove only two files."
Thank you to you for your help
Compare to other method to rooting I looked this is by far the easiest to root without unlocking the bootloader as well. It only takes a minutes or two.
Sorry I have not used any recovery as of yet apart from android software such as backup pro or backup and restore.
When you downloaded the files from here in Zip or WinRAR format I used I extract the three files systemui.apk, taskswitcher.apk and settings.apk to your computer/laptop then connect up your Xperia ZL to the computer/laptop then copy or move these files to your Xperia ZL on your sd card.
You need to download something like android app like file manager and make sure the settings on file manager is set to root.
Now I used the file manager copy the systemui.apk to the system folder then I press on systemui.apk to press option for permission to change the permission with the with the first column all boxes ticked for read and second column only the top for owner is ticked for write, all other boxes including the third column for execute is left unticked.
Now I move the systemui.apk file to the system/app folder replacing the current systemui.apk. I used the same method for settings.apk and taskswitcher.apk files. Once you done that reboot your smartphone.

Yes, I do that and it's ok.
Look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40569989&postcount=443
So, I needed to add a new font to my fire phone so that I can view my native language.
Thinking fire os 4.6.3 is just a customization on android KitKat(4.4.4) I went ahead and tried to add my fonts (Noto Sans Sinhala) to /system/fonts directory. But It was a read only sqfs partition. So I unmounted it and copied it's contents to a actual /system/fonts directory. Then I added a new font family with my fonts in /system/etc/fallback_fonts.xml and rebooted which is the trick for JB and later roms. Nothing happened! Still no native language.
Then I tried replacing a default android font I normally don't use(Noto Sans Thai). Still not working. So I changed Droid Sans Fallback font, which is the oldest trick to get new glyphs. Nope, still not working.
After fiddling around a little, I found a fontconfig cache in /system/etc/fonts along with fontconfig configuration files!! Something I haven't seen in any other android roms. Finally, I came to the conclusion that I might have to rebuild the fontconfig cache.
Dose anyone know how to trigger a fontconfig cache rebuild? or some other way around it?
So, as It turns out, Adding fonts to the fire phone is even easier than the rest of the KK devices. Just copy your fonts to /system/fonts and delete /system/etc/fonts/cachedir/[longname].cache-3 reboot and you are done
madushan1000, how did you umount /mnt/sqfs? I tried un-mounting via file manager with root privilege and wouldn't let me un-mount. I'm trying to replace a default android font (droidfallback.ttf) and keep getting permission denied even though I have root. Your help is appreciated.
You don't have to unmount it. Just delete the fonts sqfs image and extract it's content to /system/fonts and reboot. FYI you might have to remove some "system" app to do this. There is not enough space left on the system partition.
madushan1000,
Care to tell detail instruction? Thank you so much.
Rgds,

Hi madushan1000,
This is what I did and still not OK. (Need to restore previous version as Font are lost)
1. Copy Fonts to Sdcard
2. Delete /system/sqfs/container.sqfs
3. mkdir fonts folder under /system
4. Copy back fonts to /system/fonts
Please help me advise. Thank you so much in advance..
Hi @kaungmyataung, I'm going to answer your PM here:
Well, madushan1000 and I had the same approach to the "problem", but I deleted only the container and copied the fonts folder to the usual path.
madushan1000 went even further with his custom XML test.
It seems you did everything right: deleted the container, copied the fonts in the correct folder...
I assume, I checked / set the permissions for the "fonts" folder to 755 and that's all I did.
Oh... and I only deleted unwanted fonts, I didn't add new ones.

You can't copy fonts because it's not a real folder, just a mounted container (read only). Follow Madushan's lead:
madushan1000 said:
locate the sqfs image ('./system/sqfs/container.sqfs') and extract its content to './system/fonts'
you can create the 'fonts' folder manually, just be sure to set permission to 0755 for the folder and 0644 for the font files
FYI: you might have to remove some "system" apps / files to do this. There is not enough space left on the system partition
Easiest way to gain enough free space is to delete the language files for Ivona TTS ('./system/tts/ivona')
One folder for each language, for example "eng.usa.nina_1418201400000". Folders can be deleted if you don't use Ivona TTS.

Or you can just delete the sqfs file, create the 'fonts' folder and use this flashable zip via Safestrap / TWRP.
I deleted the CN and JP fonts*, etc. so it's less than 20 MB compared to over a 100 MB from the default sqfs container and you wouldn't be forced to delete system files in order to make enough room.

After creating the real 'fonts' folder, you can spam your phone with iFont.

I deleted /system/sqfs/container.sqfs and then tried to copy the fonts to /system/fonts since it rejected for "unmounted folder" even being root user, I dont remember the exact error message but I just rebooted the Kindle Fire HD 3rd gen, now it bricked Boot loop, no matter factory reset at the boot recovery, it simply stays at the boot loop, any suggestion to at least recover it?
Hello. I downloaded samsung sounds and i overwritten my exciting media folder located in /system. It worked good but i didn't like it so i deleted whole folder. I made a backup of my Media folder on my sdcard but when I put it back and reboot i don't find any media on my device. How can I fix it? And if someone could upload me that folder and tell permisions.
you just need to correct the permissions for the folder .
download root explorer and put the permissions on 644 for the files and 755 for the folders inside it
Hey all,
I'm a HUGE fan of the true stock AOSP keyboard with the long-press alternates on every key. However, it is always difficult to get it installed (or find the proper files on the web, for that matter). This tutorial is NOT for the newish Google Keyboard on the Play Store - I consider that one an inferior frakking piece of shtako. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Anyhow, here are two tutorials to install the AOSP Keyboard on the OnePlus X. First tutorial is for those people running OOS 2.2.0-X (i.e. the latest OTA). Second tutorial is for those people running OOS 2.2.0 (i.e. without the latest OTA - y'all have it easier than those of us who updated!)
Before you begin... I'd recommend performing a Nandroid backup through your recovery (TWRP/CWM/etc).
FIRST TUTORIAL - IF YOU'VE UPDATED TO OOS 2.2.0-X:
1. Download the attached AOSP Keyboard.zip file & extract to your SD card.
2. Go into your file manager & browse to Root/system/app. Look for the folder LatinImeGoogle.
3. Rename the LatinImeGoogle folder to something else. I used LatinImeGoogle-backup for safety reasons. Always leave yourself an out!
4. Change the LatinImeGoogle-backup folder permissions to r-r-r (really this is flexible - just use something other than what is currently assigned to the folder.)
5. Go back to where you extracted the AOSP Keyboard folder contents.
6. Copy libjni_latinime.so to system/lib/
7. Set libjni permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644)
8. Copy LatinIME folder to system/app/
9. Set LatinIME folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
10. Open "LatinIME" folder.
11. Set LatinIME.apk permissions to rw-r--r--(aka 644)
12. Set "lib" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
13. Open "lib" folder.
14. Set "arm" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
15. Open "arm" folder. IF there is anything in the "arm" folder, delete it. (Sometimes Android will auto add libjni_latinime.so in there. Just delete it).
16. Go back to your root /system/lib/ and scroll down to libjni_latinime.so.
17. Long press on the libjni_latinime.so file. Choose "Create symlink".
18. In the Symlink location field, choose Browse. Navigate to /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/ and Create the symlink there.
19. Go back to your root /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/. You should now see a symlink "shortcut" to libjni_latinime.so. Set the shortcuts permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644).
20. Reboot your device.
21. Celebrate with a cookie!
SECOND TUTORIAL - IF YOU'RE RUNNING OOS 2.2.0 WITHOUT THE LATEST OTA:
1. Download the attached AOSP Keyboard.zip file & extract to your SD card.
2. Copy libjni_latinime.so to system/lib/
3. Set libjni permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644)
4. Copy LatinIME folder to system/app/
5. Set LatinIME folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
6. Open "LatinIME" folder.
7. Set LatinIME.apk permissions to rw-r--r--(aka 644)
8. Set "lib" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
9. Open "lib" folder.
10. Set "arm" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
11. Open "arm" folder. IF there is anything in the "arm" folder, delete it. (Sometimes Android will auto add libjni_latinime.so in there. Just delete it).
12. Go back to your root /system/lib/ and scroll down to libjni_latinime.so.
13. Long press on the libjni_latinime.so file. Choose "Create symlink".
14. In the Symlink location field, choose Browse. Navigate to /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/ and Create the symlink there.
15. Go back to your root /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/. You should now see a symlink "shortcut" to libjni_latinime.so. Set the shortcuts permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644).
16. Reboot your device.
17. Celebrate with a brownie!
I've also tucked a txt copy of the barebones instructions into the zip file.
Feel free to ask any questions below.

hi equi_design
thank you very much for providing a manual for aosp keyboard. i followed you instructions and everything went through apart from changing the shortcut to 644. i could not get any access in order to change permissions. nevertheless, keyboard works without any problems so far!
btw which filemanager did you use? es explorer for example does not support the creation of symlinks (i am on version 3)
best wishes,
lukas

Glad it worked out in the end. I use Solid Explorer now. About a year ago, I gave up on ES since they were dropping & hidden files onto my SD card. I'd suggest looking around for another file manager if you can.
