Anyone know how to get new fonts without a computer?

So, my computer blew up and I want to change my font again, but have no idea how to change it without a computer to push the files.
Can I just download the font file and use root explorer to put them in the correct folder? If so, what folder do I put it in?

google "free sans fonts" download the font you want to your /sd/font folder, then use type fresh.

Custom ringtones

Does anyone know how I can geg custom ringtones on my stock galaxy tab

Create a folder on your SD card and call it ringtones. Drop them in there and they are selectable, or use any ringtone app like Zedge (not my favourite but very popular).

Any mp3 or sound file you use can be used a custom ringtone. Simply choose that file and hit the menu button then set as ringtone.

I created a ringtone (custom beep) and when I move it to the media/audio/ringtones folder, it comes up as available for setting

Thanks

I have a SGT 7 with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I am not given that option.
I tried to copy an .ogg and .wav file I created in to the ringtone folder, but was denied. I also created a ringtone folder on my sd card and external sd card, but not able to use either of them.
Anyone have an other ideas. Thanks...

MP3 ringtone maker or tone picker on the market is good if you dont have that option

You have root, I know! So using file explorer from the market, change the destination folder to read/write (r/w at the top of the page).

All is Well

[Q] notification ringtone

it's easy to set mp3 as a phone ringtone, but how to set mp3 to notification ringtone?

Copy mp3 to system/media/audio/notification
I use esfile explorer then in settings enable root and mount system as write.

where i could find the path? (..system/media/audio/notification).
i'm using ASTRO file manager but not finding the .../system ?

It's much easier to create a folder called /notifications on internal storage or SD card and copy the sound file there. It will be available as a notification ringtone then. (You also need root to copy to /system.)
Note that it does not need to be a top-level folder - you could have a directory structure like /sounds/notifications and /sounds/ringtones (as well as /sounds/ringtones for ringtones) and they will still show up.

"Copy Error"
when i try copy, i get "Copy Error"
java.io.FileNotFoundException:/system/media/audio/notification/ring.mp3(read-only file system)
????

You need to make sure you are creating the directory under sdcard, /mnt/sdcard. Based on what you reported, I feel you tried to create one from /system, of course it is read-only by default.
You will have no problem to create anything off /mnt/sdcard. Give it a try.

i already create directory on sdcard, the issue is how to point the directory files from: settings->sound->notification rington ?

You need to use a root explorer (es explorer) and tick the mount system as write. Motorola is funny with adding notification tones.

If the folder on the SD card is called "notifications", it will show up. This is standard Android, and is exactly what I have done with all of my phones since I have had one, and works with my Droid 3.

got it
using ES File Ex. getting write permission on 'system/media/notification' folder
and it's done

[Q] Removed wrong apk from system app

Yes you can but after you do that re apply permissions and owner info.

Thanks for info but how do you do that?

Permissions and owner?

Use mount /system and then adb to device while in recovery and open shell. Then do a cd to whatever folder u want and do a chown root /../../../file. Ten using recovery fix permissions or do a chmod.

[Q] .nomedia not working?

Adding .nomedia to a folder should make android gallery ignore that folder. But for some reason a movie i received thru bluetooth keeps on appearing even ic i already put a "." on ghe directory, or moved to another directory or even create new folder add nomedia then move the file. Pls help me hide this file from my gallery. Im using stock ics. Thanks

Try deleting the cache from the Media Storage app and rebooting. Alternatively you can download any number of apps from Google Play to hide files and folders.
