I've rooted my Moto X, but ROM Toolbox does not seem to be able to change the system font.
Has anyone had success doing this?
I'm sorry, please delete this.
I wasn't booting into the writable "recovery" mode.

Please elaborate. I want to change my font as well but I'm having no luck.

Even though you have rooted your phone, sometimes, or all the time, the system is not mounted as rw to accept changes from any other app. So you have to mount the system or use root apps like System RW/RO to mount the system and then use ROM Toolbox to change system settings.

So, first post here because I can't seem to find the solution (as I normally can)... but, I was using the CM App installer that allows you to install some CM apps on any ROM, and it crashed in process and my messaging app was deleted. I use Sliding Messenger, but it won't send MMS now. How can I get the stock app back?

Go to the development tread and there are system dumps for the different carriers. Download the Mms.apk and the Mms.odex
Push them into the system/app folder

I already got the system dump, but I don't know how to "push" it through. I assume it's with adb but I've never had to go that route. If someone could easily direct me the process for that, it would be great! (I will still be searching on my own too)

I used root explorer but I'm rooted.

I read up on it last night and that's how I attempted it. I was successful at pushing the app into system/app and then install it, but it would just force close immediately after opening. I'll keep digging to see what else I can do

change the write permission using root explorer or es file explorer. click on it or long press and go to more in es file explorer. then click on properties.. change it to -rw -r -r like the rest of the system apk and odex files. This should fix your problem.
I've tried a couple of different ways and even tried changing permissions in root explorer but I cannot seem to delete the Renovate file this was a ROM I had a few months ago, I only noticed it was taking up a good bit of space so went to delete but it won't allow me do so.
Surely there has to be a way to delete this file, any ideas?

There's no option in TWRP to allow me to delete this file you cannot delete individual files while in recovery (unless I'm missing something)
There's gotta be a way to delete this , taking up unnecessary space.

Have you tried installing it as a normal apk with unknown sources allowed?

I just tried that, got the .apk from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690997 it installs fine, but the app FC's all over the place and uninstalls itself after reboot. The thread says to move it to system/app or priv-app, but we can't do that because there is no root yet for NC2

I tried the same thing. I was quite disappointed when I got all the FCs.

I was thinking, its definitely going to be tough to get it into /system/app without mounting it RW (root necessary). This is just a thought, would an update.zip containing the apk be able to be flashed in the stock recovery?

Can you do that without being rooted??
*(And more importantly), what happens if that goes wrong?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I think stock recovery has an option to flash an "update.zip". What happens if it goes wrong? I have no idea. I've never had to install a system app without root, I'm just trying to think of something that might work. I mean root browsers and adb are ruled out. Other than flashing, I don't know of many other ways to get an app in there. >.<

Sorry to ask, but did you root your phone?
You can try my modified platform.xml (attached)...
Remember to set rw,r,r permission on file after put on /system/etc/permission/
Or you can try to place the original file (attached) and apply the SD-Fixer from Google play like I did...
My version is 14.4,a.0.108 for c6943...good lucky
Curious if anyone has tried to use the memory fix posted here for the ATT version of the galaxy s6 edge. I noticed that my build.prop doesn't have the lines mentioned that I should remove.
I have the Sprint Edge variant and would be interested in knowing as well. I've been scouring the various forums but to no avail.
I have tried both versions of the fix and they worked fine. Don't download the kernel, just make the changes to build.prop and reboot.

Yes i did try it i used buildprop editor you can find the lines just change the values and just add those missing lines and values backup 1st your buildprop before doing it..its faster and smoother then much ram.

I can confirm that adding those buildprop lines to the bottom, and deleting the duplicates from above did not cause any issues. Not sure if it improved performance just yet, but hopeful.
I did it correctly, been doing this for years... Yet I bootlooped and had to Odin stock reset. Not sure what went wrong, followed directions to the T. On Att edge.
I didn't get the kernel btw. I'll try again this weekend after I make a backup.

Use Buildprop editor by jRummy Apps inc you can also backup your buildprop inside the app and its more easy to use.

Did you make sure the permissions of build.prop were at 0644 after editing? That could cause a bootloop if permissions aren't set correctly.
I did not. Thanks

Can anyone provide some quick information on how to set permissions 0644?

Install es file explorer.. go to the tools section on the left and select root. Then, click on the actual bar that says root explorer, and under "mount r/w", make sure to select rw for both root and system. Then go to your edited build.prop under /system and select it. Go to properties, and select permissions. You want to make sure that all three options (owner, group, and other) have read priveleges and that only owner has wite priveleges.. That's equivalent to 0644.
I've done it, just noticing that when seeing a video for more of the screen on time it turn off the screen
