Root creating update.zip for fonts applying

Bashar

Newbie
Hello,
i wish to create an update.zip to copy fonts from the zip into the system/fonts/ folder because i delete them and kept one font but it seems android doesn't boot with one font only need other fonts to be there (or atleast matching the names) to be able to boot.

adb push doesn't work giving me permission denied because /system is not mounted R/W (which i do using Super Manager for example)

i read other update.zip files and it seems i need to create CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files in META-INF , but it seems there are some SHA1-Digest: below each file (is this a md5checksum?) so i can't just replace file names and apply it

any ideas how can i do it without Wipe data/factory reset ? (and if factory reset is my last option would fonts be returned or factory reset doesn't get fonts back? i feel not)


Thanks
 
Create the update.zip file as required to install the fonts, copy it to sdcard, and download the free ZipSigner app from the Market. Once installed you can use that to sign the update.zip correctly to allow it to be installed.
