I love @Cloudyfa G3 ROM, but I couldn't seem to find my favorite font Roboto in the list anymore. To enable Roboto I built a new system_fonts.xml and zipped together Google's Roboto fonts to ensure the original AOSP ones are in the ROM.

To enable Roboto again, using Root Explorer (or a like app):

  1. Backup /system/etc/system_fonts.xml
  2. Copy system_fonts.xml from the zip attachment (system_fonts.zip) into /system/etc
  3. Set permissions on system_fonts.xml to rw-r--r--
  4. Backup /system/fonts
  5. Copy the 18 Roboto .ttf files from the zip attachment (Roboto.zip) and paste into /system/fonts
  6. Set permissions on all 18 .ttf files just pasted to rw-r--r--

Now, reboot and select Roboto from Settings > Display > Font type. Voila! You will have the correct AOSP Roboto look to your launcher and apps.

Cheers

Thanks man, do you think you could do any tweaking to give us a menu button in the navigation bar? :) Maybe it can be replaced by the splitview or notifications button.

Thank you.

Why don't you have one zip file to do all of the steps you mentioned?

Because he wants you to not be a total noob that waits around for someone to make doing any modification to the phone simple. This is all very simple to do anyways, and its good to know the methods behind the mods

There's 6 steps, but it's about 30 seconds of work...

And yes, he's right, I want you to actually understand what's going on here.

If someone points me towards a guide for making flashable zips, I'll do one.

Never bothered with that before as I just use adb or an app on device like root explorer.

Thanx

Wish I had a guide to link you to but I learned to create flashable zips by trial and error, anyways I made two for you one for the roboto fonts and one for stock fonts you can grab them here in the roboto fonts zip I made sure to add:

    Is it possible to import the wireless storage feature from g2? It's missing in G3
