[MOD FONTS2SD] Easily replace system fonts in CM-MOD

This mod allows you to replace easily the system fonts
or to move your system fonts to the SD card freeing
some space in the ROM.
First thing to do is to replace libsgl.so with my modified version
or if you prefer compile it yourself after applying the attached patch.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cp /system/lib/libsgl.so /system/lib/libsgl.so.bak
mkdir /system/sd/fonts
exit
adb push libsgl.so /system/lib/
adb shell reboot
At reboot the system will check first in
Code:
/system/sd/fonts
if some suitable fonts are found there they will be loaded
else the default fonts in
Code:
/system/fonts
will be loaded.
The fonts in /system/sd/fonts must be named:
Code:
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Italic.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
These are optional, and can be ignored if not found in the file system.
DroidSansJapanese.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
You can achieve this by moving or copying the default system fonts,
renaming the fonts you want to use or by a symbolic link e.g.
Code:
cd /system/sd/fonts
ln -s Vera.ttf DroidSans.ttf
I have tested it with DejaVu and DejaVu condensed fonts.
Enjoy and try out your own font combinations.

How to make a specific Zip update?

I want to have a ZIP update, where a 'wpa_supplicant' file replaces the /system/bin/wpa_supplicant original file and stays with chmod 755 permissions.
How can I do that?

Randomise Bootanimation with init.d script

Below is the script to randomise bootanimations on every boot with a shell script...
Bash:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system
min=1
max=5
number=0
while [ "$number" -lt $min ]
do
number=$RANDOM
let "number %= $max"
done
cd /system/media
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.temp
mv bootanimation${number}.zip bootanimation.zip
mv bootanimation.temp bootanimation${number}.zip
chmod 644 bootanimation.zip
mount -o remount,ro /system
for this you need to place 4 bootanimations with names
bootanimation1.zip
bootanimation2.zip
bootanimation3.zip
bootanimation4.zip
in /system/media
You can also do this by using ROM Toolbox...
For now you have 5 bootanimation...
If you want more then place extra bootanimation.zip's then change max according to your preference and those file names in the format bootanimation{max-1}.zip as last bootanimation...
