Basically I want to install these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287810
I have the stock rooted kernel (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282415) which doesn't include CWM. Is there a way to install these mods without flashing through CWM?
Thanks.
I heard that rom manager now support our phone, it installs latest CWM version 5.0.2.7
I usually use adb push
Looks like you need a custom kernel for Rom Manager to work right now.
Can I just replace the files on my phone with these files and reboot?
use Odin to flash custom kernel with cwm compiled. lostkernel or zedomax's kernel both got cwm.

No without custom recovery which is what cwm is you can not flash anything that is not signed by samsung .....you could flash an update through the samsung recovery but everything else will fail signature check .....that is why we use odin and clockwork mod

Technically yes you can. You would have to know how and where to push everything via adb but if you don't know or are uncomfortable I would definitely avoid it.
Hey romanodog you get CWM with stock rooted kernal without having to odin anything. All you have to do is do the following:
1. Go to the thread called " Lets Get Rid of that Yellow Triangle" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999)
Note: with the root method you used you wont have the yellow triangle but this is necessary to get cwm on stock kernal.
2. Download and extract the the zip called "chris41g.devphone.org/LoStKernel/FlashzImage.zip" to your desktop or directory of choice
3. now open this folder and delete the file called zImage
4. go to this thread called "Stock Pulled Repacked with CWM5" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099)
4. download the StockCWM5.zip file and extract this new zImage to the folder FlashzImage
5. run the bat file
Note: after you replace the zImage you can pretty much follow the how to video done by QbKing77 (thank him) in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999
cool thanks man, I will have to try that out
you can do all the mods without cwm quite easily.
just take the files from inside the zip and use a file browser to copy them to the phone.
i use es file explorer mostly, its free and lets you access the root partition.
available in the market.
(you can also use the adb push command if comfortable with a command line from the pc or a terminal emulator such as connectbot from the phone)
the trick is just figuring out where the files go. luckily when you unzip the mod you'll get folders such as
meta-inf
system
ignore the meta-inf
its the system folder you want
system> which will usually contain something like app and framework folders
just copy those files to /system/app and /system/framework viola! either overwriting the files already there or better yet backup those files or rename them first.
no cwm needed but you do need root
p.s. also you may need to reboot for changes to take effect

Cool! I thought I could do something like that but I wanted someone to confirm, thanks!

Hey Guys! This thread is actually a question of me finding APK fonts for android. And now, I found a thread which offer a lot fonts to choose and I want it to share with you all. So here it is.
It usually for Stock ROMs (and for Fellas who love customizing) .
Just download the attached file, extract it and you will find APKs.
Put it on your SD card and install it like a normal APK file. Then Navigate your Settings>Display>Fonts. From there,you can apply and see Fonts you just installed.

If anybody is still refering to this thread.. the fonts that droidtwoseven has provided are super easy to install on any android device.
So instructions here are very straightforward actually
1. All you need to do is simply tap the .zip folder at the top of the feed here, labeled "FlipFontsALL.zip" This will initiate it's download.
2. a) Once downloaded, either press the "download complete" notification you would receive as a pop up located at the top of your screen or you'll find it in your pull-down notification task bar.
2. b) Or if you accidentally swipe the notification away, you can open your devices files manager, and navigate to your phone's "internal storage". Inside your devices Internal storage you should see a folder labeled as "Downloads", go a head and tap on it, to proceed inside the folder to view it's contents.
3. Once inside your "Downloads" folder, depending on how organised you keep your internal files, there may be a list of files and/or folders you need to scroll past, but somewhere inside this folder you should find (hopefully with not much difficulties) the very .zip folder you had just download here. (Remember it will be labeled as "FlipFontsALL.zip")
4. a) Now, long press on (tap & hold) this folder to bring up the extra options available for the particular folder. Or another method to bring up the extra available options for that .zip folder, simply just press it once to highlight it, and as it's highlighted, the press the "more" button, which will be shown either as a 3 horizontal/ hamburger looking menu or possibly a 3 vertical dot menu.
4. b) Upon opening the extra options menu, If you do not see any option that says "extract", then possibly you will need to install another files manager from the Galaxy store or the play store. One that has the option to extract or compress files into .zip folders.
4. B) i)) The files manager I personally use, is not the default application that comes pre installed on my samsung, but I actually prefer to use "File Manager" by "File Manager Plus/Aphainventor". It is easy to install and is available via the Google PlayStore. Other recommended files manager apps are: CX File Explorer, RS File Manager and Simple File Manager Explorer.
5. Once you proceed to tap "extract" in the .zip folder, your phone should then prompt you and ask where you wish the files to be extracted to. Usually you can chose to just "extract here", in which it should create a folder of the same name inside the current Downloads folder you are currently in, and extract the contents inside of it. (So in our case it would create a regular folder labeled FlipFontsALL. Or you can chose the option to extract the files elsewhere I'm your internal storage.
6. a) Once these files are finally extracted, navigate your way inside the new folder that was created, and you will find there to be a bunch of files, all using the ".apk" file extension. (The file extension is the part of the title for a file that is after the "."/"dot".
6. a) i)) An example for an image file would be "exampleimage.jpg" or maybe even as "exampleimage.png". An example video file would be ~ examplevideo.mp4 or examplevideo.webm.
6. a) i)) So, in our case, these particular fonts have actually been compiled individually as executable android packages. This is actually what APK stands for (android package) So all of our fonts that you extracted from the FlipFontsALL.zip folder, all use the ".apk" file extension. This is similar to a .iso file you may find using an apple device, or a .exe file that is used by Windows computers. These are all known as executable files, and each are recognized only by their particularly owned operating system, and cannot be read by another (android cannot read or install .exe files or .iso files, neither can an iPhone/apple device read a .apk or .exe file, same with windows, it will not recognize .iso or .apk files, as they are unsupported.
7. a) So now that you have access to the .APK don't files, this is the easiest step. All you have to do is pick whichever one you want, and simply double press the file. Your android device will automatically initiate to install it, and if the files have been coded accordingly to your devices OS, and is written for your devices type processors. You'll be asked if you would like to proceed with installing the files, simply just chose yes and sit back as you let your phone do the rest of the work.
7. b) One thing you may have to do in order to authenticate your device to install the APK, is give the files manager you are using the permissions to install. You can easily do this by navigating into your device settings, scroll to your phone's options for "security/biometrics", them find the option labeled as "install from unknown sources" or "install unknown apps". Once in this menu, scroll until you find your devices files manager, or the files manager you chose to install from the PlayStore, and just tap on the toggle to enable it.
8. After the installation has completed and it comes up saying "success", you should then be able to navigate into your devices display settings, where you'll find a heading labeled "fonts" or "fonts sizes and style". In this menu go into fonts style, and amongst the list of default fonts that came ore installed with your device, you should now see the font you chose to install from the .apk file.
And that's all. I know it seems like I wrote a lot, but I just was making sure I covered everything, as detailed as I could, in the case that someone who may be unfamiliar with the layout of an android, needs the thorough direction. I'm always happy to help another android user. As I believe in order to take better care of your own safety and privacy, it is very important to understand your device and it's available options and accessibilities of ensuring so.
These .apk fonts are absolutely great. Especially because they get around the Samsung block. For example, I have a Galaxy S8, and seemingly, the only available methods to download custom fonts are to either install the few mediocre fonts available to the Galaxy store, or to spend money and purchase some of the other custom fonts via the Galaxy store. So if you own a Samsung, running Android 9 or above, unfortunately you cannot install your own custom fonts using any of the font installers obtainable through the play store. You simply just cannot. Samsung will not allow it. Since the update of android 9, they've implemented various blockades to prevent any 3rd party installation of .ttf or .otf fonts. Where as these .apks use a direct installation method as if they are an application of their own.

1. The ES File Explorer is set as the default application that is opened when you want to select a ringtone.
Go to Settings, Apps, ES File Explorer, then press clear defaults. It should now ask you which application you want to use to select a ringtone.
2. You will have to do this again manually, unless you have your contacts on google or another service.
3. I'm not sure about this. Try deleting them by connecting to a PC.
4. You need to use a new version of SuperSU, I've attached it in this post.
Enjoy Jelly Bean!

Thank you very much! I have another question about the attached app. It's a zip file which contains META Information and binaries in a System folder. So i have to place the binaries at the right place in my phone (obviously at /system/xbin , /system/app ) right? And the META folder goes where?

No do not extract the Zip file!
If you have ClockWordMod installed simply boot into it and use install zip file command from it, and locate the zipped file (on your phone memory).
If you do not have CWM, use fastboot to boot into CWM (you can find that information on some other threads), and install the zip file from there.
Follow these steps: (except with the above zip file)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123
You have to copy over the zip file to your phone first, then boot into CWM, and install the zip file.

All Good! But i noticed another "problem" now.. in my Gallery i have a folder named "imageDownloader" who contains 700+ photos. I delete them all and after reboot it exists again. What is that anyway?
update: The images belongs to a folder named "07-11-2012_21-01" , it seems to be cached data of the app "Thumb". This folder is created by the backup, is located in sdcard and i can't delete it, even through my pc.. i don't know why :/
Unable to connect to Wireless N-only or 5GGz networks after update
I've been unable to connect to my home network on either band in the 'N' mode since updating to Jelly Bean. I have no problems seeing both networks and it says they're "saved", but when I click connect, it doesn't proceed to "authenticating" or obtaining an IP address.
I've tried several Custom ROMs with the same result, and I've never had this problem with any ICS versions and can regain connectivity by rolling back the update.
I've tried low-level troubleshooting (no network encryption, MAC reservation, multiple reboots, etc.) with no luck. I'm currently forced in a mixed N/G mode on 2.4 GHz to use my Wi-Fi.
There have been occasional reports of this over the last year or so on various platforms, but I'm wondering if there's any software/files, etc. that can be tweaked or looked at to see where this issue is manifested.
I cannot delete some files located in my /sdcard. I tried through "Root Browser" , through my PC... nothing worked :/ Any help please?

1. connect phone to pc and transfer files manually (as a media device. must have usb debug mode selected on phone), through kies/kies air or via a 3rd party program like airdroid
2. same technique as above
3. apk files can be accessed in the es explorer you have on your phone. select the apk and hit "install"
This is kind of a common knowledge thing. But just in case someone out there isn't aware of this simple little application (that is free to download) I thought I would share it here.
I have included the application in the zip file. It's pretty self explanatory to use but if you have a question just post it and someone will know the answer.
1. Download the package and unzip.
2. Run the application "ApkInstaller"
3. Drag and drop your APK files into the application
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. Right click anywhere inside the application and select all APKs
6. Run installer
7. Wait for it to finish and enjoy

True... but I hate having things in my internal storage / sdcard that are not necessary. And this allows me to keep ALL of my apps (their current versions) in one place... and allows me to do a much faster batch install. A clean install. Not a restore from backup like in Titanium Backup (which causes problems at times).
built a new folder in sd. copy apk in
and install it with phone file exploer
copy to folder is the best way to install application
