Basically this will allow your Android phone to display Softbank Emoji encoding. This is not limited to just your text messages, but will also allow applications to display emojis that people have in their profiles or whatever.
Things needed before you install:
1)Root Explorer (from the Market) You can use a different file explorer app, but it must be able to mount your system folder as read/write
2)A program that can open a 7z file (you can find that online here The file that is provided is compressed with 7z format. There is probably an app that can extract that on the market, but I haven't looked for it.
3)Your phone MUST be rooted!!!
To install:
1)Download the droidsansfallback.7z file to your computer
2)Uncompress the file and move the droidsansfallback.ttf to your SDCard somewhere
3)Go /system/fonts with root explorer
4)Click "Mount R/W" at the top
5)Long-press on Droidsansfallback.ttf and click delete and then Yes to confirm
7)Navigate back to where you placed the droidsansfallback.ttf
8)Long-press on droidsansfallback.ttf and click "Move"
9)Go back to /system/fonts
10)Click "Paste" at the bottom
You're done!
moved, this is belong more into Theme-ing than Development
Make sure you give permission 644 or rw-r--r--

I searched the forum. It seems a rare case that misdeleting the service application.
The story is quite simple. I wish to maximize the use of internal memory so I moved some applications from /system/app to /vendor, where roughly has 120mb unused space. All these files had been created symbol links under /system/app. Most of them worked fine, except the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, which I reckon verifying its physical path.
So I moved it back. The sad part was that I forgot the symbol link was still there. The file overrode the symbol link which linked to itself therefore axed it to 0 byte. Soon I found how serious it was. All google related service were down, the play store, the talk, the map, etc. The google service must do some verification so I can't simply find a GoogleServicesFramework.apk to replace it. I can't install it either. It failed instantly.
I don't know the background of GoogleServicesFramework.apk. Maybe I should remove all related applications then find a package to install all of them. Is there anyone knowing how to fix this problem?
My Xperia Play is 800a, version 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf build 4.0.2.A.0.42. It is my first andriod device and here is my first post so please be kind.
Wait for someone here to upload the file for you or back up your files and reflash.
well as you said you tried to install it and it instantly failed, it will
you should get that app and copy paste it to system/framework and before that CHANGE ITS PERMISSIONS
how? copy it to system folder go to permissions using root explorer and change them to r-w-r-r i.e tick first three row buttons and 2 column buttons

yeah, I've checked the permission. It's rw-r-r. But every GoogleServicesFramework.apk I've downloaded are slightly different in size. I suspect this file is highly sensitive to versions.

i think you should try them and what you have got to lose? if you want your system (without GSF.apk) back just make a nandroid backup.
and you always got option of flashing stock firmware......
Another thing you can try is download a stock .ftf file, extract it and look for the file within the system files.. Copy paste and Bobs your uncle!

The problem has been fixed. Thanks to every one. You guys gave me a lot of hints. The solution was like that:
1, uninstalled the play store from setup and removed the incorrect version GoogleServicesFramework.apk under /system/app
2, extracted the GoogleServicesFramework.apk from a ftf package carried 2.3.4 version. It should be 2MB around. The previous downloaded one was only 1MB. Maybe that's the reason it failed to install.
3, installed it, not to copy to /system/app! Then there will be a file like com.xxx.gsp.apk under /data/app directory.
4, rebooted the phone and would see the google store appeared. All services returned normal. Hooray!
I didn't try to move it back to /system. Most apps in /data had been moved to /system and /vendor so there are 200mb left in /data, fare enough to me
Hi
So I am looking at blocking a number of websites - no, I don't really want to do this through app's as a mere uninstall can undo the blocks.
I've rooted my phone, I've given +rw mount to /system/ and I'm able to etc hosts under /system/etc/hosts just fine.
However, as soon as I reboot, the system restores the hosts file to it's original state and all my edits to that file are undone.
Is there anything I can do about this? Please be a bit more specific than just "flash the kernel", thanks.

any time i edit anything in system folders i copy it to sdcard do my edits then copy it back and make sure the permissions are set correct i think it rw-r--r-- reboot and it should be good to go... for some reason i cant edit them in that folder but moving it to edit then move it back works for me maybe it will work for you too...

I can edit it no probs. I do my changes, test them out and they all work OK.
As soon as I reboot, everything becomes undone. AFAIK this might be some kernel protection.
The system partition is write-protected.

Disregard, I extracted them from a stock ROM. Here they are in case anyone else needs them (place in "/system/fonts"):
http://uptobox.com/x5degyx5bw5o
Original post:
Can someone please send me their fonts folder? It's in the folder "/system/fonts". I accidentally deleted it after Solid Explorer somehow screwed up a symlink creation attempt. Without this, the device is stuck in a bootloop.
------------------------------------
Edit:
I've partially solved this but still would appreciate the fonts, so I'm removing the "urgent" labels from this post. I was able to piece together all the font files by combining these 2 font packs (in order):
Fonts folder from Samsung-S6-Fonts.zip for the Samsung Galaxy S5, by Edgarf28
Fonts folder from a old version of the stock ROM, stock-e980-10k-tdm1.zip for the LG Optimus G Pro, by bountyman334. That's for version 10k, but my device was 20g, which I adds a few more required fonts that I got from the Samsung pack above.
Booted into recovery to mount /system so that ADB had root, then used ADB to push the font files "/system/fonts/" and set their permissions to 644. If anyone wants a more detailed guide, reply to this thread.

Hello,
Here is a quick guide on how to replace the boot animation and system font on oos 10.0 (Android Q).
ROOT is required.
Boot animation:
1. Download the attached zip and extract it.
2. Download a custom boot animation of your choice (XDA Boot animations collection).
3. Rename the downloaded boot animation file to "bootanimation.zip" and copy it to "BootAndFont > system > media > bootanimation.zip".
You can skip now if you don't want custom font.
If you don't want to change Fonts, just delete the "fonts" directory.
4. Download custom fonts of your choice.
5. Rename the fonts to their relatives in the "BootAndFont > system > fonts " directory.
6. After everything is in place, using root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) move both "BootAndFont" and "module.prop" into the device to the following location
"/data/adb/modules/"
(You can see the final result in the attached images.)
7. Go to Magisk, refresh the modules and make sure that the new module is now on the last.
Reboot the device and everything should work!
*Tested on OP7T, Should work on every OOS 10.
*Current Font is Germania-one, you can leave it as-is if you want.
Feel free to ask questions.

What happens if i have a separate font module? Will that get overwritten even if i delete the font folder?
Can confirm this works! I'm running OP7TP5G (TMobile) running the latest Magisk.
If anyone is unclear of the directions, once you bring the custom boot animation zip in the BootandFont folder, you have to just simply take the BootandFont folder and move it to the location OP mentions. Go into Magisk and confirm, once you are done reboot and you should have the new bootanimation (and or font)
This method is better than the other bootanimation thread on this forum as this does not require you to flash in Magisk nor worry about the permission write error you will get. Much appreciated it hella weird too because I was up all night trying to figure this out and then you come up with this guide ???

If you are removing the "fonts" folder, then it will not overwrite your current font.

Hi,
You are correct, on part 6, I wrote by mistake to move the bootandfont.zip instead of moving the directory only.
To apply your custom font, first, you need to understand that in different scenarios different fonts are used.
for example when tinted or Bold.
if you have a tinted version of your font should replace it according to the font name.
if you have just 1 version of your font, you can duplicate your font file and rename the copies with every one of the "Roboto" file.
You can see in the attached photo that all of the files are the same. (They are all GermaniaOne that was renamed to what the system is looking for).
I hope it works for you, please contact me if you still have troubles

Gotcha....Thanks alot bro...
I have a noobie question. Can't you just do the simple: move downloaded boot animation to the system file and replace it with the the stock boot animation and change permissions? A reply would be much appreciated

Android 10 system is read only so you need to use magisk to do it systemeless
Hey Yaaria,
Is there any way to replace the lock.ogg and unlock.ogg in root/system/product/media/audio/ui or it could be done using magisk systemless? Please suggest.

I've got same question here. When i'll have a free moment i'll try to flash this module with ui sounds.
EDIT: nope. There's something wrong with product mount, it's not working
@yaaria thank you for the guide, I installed animation etc. I downloaded font : roboto.medium.ttf
How select the font? must rename the roboto.medium.ttf, to Germaniaone.ttf ? and delete the ( first) Germaniaone.ttf?
Will this mod (font change attribute) work on stock AOSP ROM?
Nevertheless thanks for contribution.
Edit - Never mind it worked flawlessly.... Thanks for awesome tweak.
OMG Thank You! This is so awesome! I was looking for a way to change both of these and you killed 2 birds with one module. At first it didn't work but I then realized that the BootandFont folder was inside another BootandFont folder somehow, all I did was copy the folder containing the module.prop and system folder to the adb modules folder and deleted the duplicate folder it was in but the fonts didn't work. Then I realized I needed to copy the font I wanted running on My phone 18 times and rename them to all those roboto files, so the system loads the file but gets a different font! I now have the glitchy Cyberpunk 2077 Oni/Samurai mask boot image and the OCR-A font running flawlessly on My OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren. You're awesome!
hey when i try to replace the stock animation it keep saying "the read only file error cannot change" stuff what should i do now ??
Why wont this work on OOS 11?
