Handy little app. Works on my alcatel ot-990.
[Android Apps and Games] android_888:
So do you know correct procedure how to change the font in Sony Scetch Larger? I have a zip package that in attachment. As you can see inside that zip are 3 files: Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Which files do I have to insert inside .fontchanger folder and then do what?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I've already explained it in my previous post and it's also explained in the application. Guess I'll have to go again...

Rename...

DroidSans.ttf to SonySketchLarger.ttf

DroidSans-Bold.ttf to SonySketchLarger-Bold.ttf

... and put them into the folder...
[Android Apps and Games] android_888:
Thank you, just one question..

Just those two files put ino .fontchanger folder? Not Clockopia from that zip?

Sorry for bodering you :)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Two posts back I wrote that Font Changer has no support for that font (at least not in simple mode). But poking in the settings you might find an option relevant to the clock font.
[Android Apps and Games] CalInTheZone:
Just tried this app with very bad result!

Installed a font and my default font disappeared! Now the installed font was there and my original was lost! How do I get that back?

My device: SGS2
[Android Apps and Games] motajam:
Hi. I tried to change the font using the Font Changer

devayse on LG Optimus One v20c android 2.3.3 (which is stated in the list of supported models). We used version of Font Changer 2.1.1 (and below). There was a problem:

1. If you try to change the font program hangs and you can only stop the unloading process. At the same font change does not occur (Root rights exist);

2. If you try to delete the program (with the restoration of the font) is the same - endless waiting.

Because with me any questions:

1. Why LG Optimus One device was in the list of supported?

2. Will there be fixed a bug with the program at this devayse? (because the program is sold at android-market! that is paying her money to use it I can not)

That's not a "very bad result". It's the way it works!

There is a backup of your original font; read the first post or read inside the app how to get them back.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Menu -> Defaults :)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
It's listed in the supported devices because with the help of someone I managed to get it to work on the device. And on most devices it will work just fine.

That said, no two devices are ever the same and I can't guarantee that because it works on device one that it will also work on device two. This is also the case with other applications, just unfortunately due to what Font Changer does the unwanted effects can sometimes be scary.

If you made a purchase and would like to refund then just send me your order number. I have no issues with refunding an unhappy user, you just need to let me know. There's a reason why I point people to the free version first on the Market page :)
[Android Apps and Games] CalInTheZone:
Still gives me the installed one even after uninstall of the app.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Hopefully deleting default files is not how it works. And where do I find the backup?
[Android Apps and Games] Philbert123:
/.fontchanger/backup

--

swyped...
[Android Apps and Games] CalInTheZone:
Christ that is why it's f*cked up. The backup is the installed font not the original.

So now I'm looking for the default SGS2 fonts!
[Android Apps and Games] motajam:
I am sorry! It is my error. It has appeared, that the system lacked in BusyBox. And it is strange, because when received Root established and BusyBox..., why it did not become, it is not known... After installation BusyBox, the program has earned, the font has changed. Thanks! Once again I Am sorry.:)
[Android Apps and Games] Terepin:
Can I use this app to change font size?
[Android Apps and Games] Philbert123:
no.

.............
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
You can just flash your current ROM over and it'll be fixed. Just make sure it doesn't wipe your data! Some ROMs are set to do that automatically. Either way, what happened to you shouldn't happen... *wonders what could have gone wrong*

Afraid not.
[Android Apps and Games] CalInTheZone:
I think I know what went wrong; the first time I started the program it crashed when I chose a font. And reinstalling the ROM is not an option...Too many things are not standard anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
OK. You can just grab the entire /system/fonts folder from a stock ROM and copy it over to your current one (make sure there are no extra fonts in the folder compared to the stock one). Also make sure to remove the /sdcard/.fontchanger/backup folder.
[Android Apps and Games] CalInTheZone:
Already done;-)
[Android Apps and Games] CRIME INC.:
Lmao, im sorry but after reading some of these posts i have to laugh. Ive been running this app off and on since its inception. Never had a single issue. Miui users, why would u use this app when miui has a built in font changer? If u go to miui forums and search theres a ton of fonts and if theres not one u want, simply ask and a mtz of ur font will be made. Second, this app is extremely easy to use, if u cant read the op, then u probably shouldnt have a rooted phone imho.

sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg :p
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Personally I'd also rather if MIUI users stuck to the built-in font changer. Getting MIUI support in was a pain in the ass, as they've successfully managed to screw with what they shouldn't have touched. As such, I cannot provide any guarantees or recommendations for people who use MIUI.
[Android Apps and Games] Tifferrr89:
All the good stuff requires root. :/
[Android Apps and Games] fernandezhjr:
Used to work. Now with newer roms it just spits out the space check failed error. It says it needs -204kb and I only have -1024kb available. I tried clearing data and uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
[Android Apps and Games] Tifferrr89:
Found a perfect one... Works like a charm and is very simple!

Just requires root + busybox

Heres the apk: http://db.tt/lYhErDLN

:)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I don't know what's happening there. I've been trying to reproduce the error, but I just can't.

Stupid Android fragmentation...

*sighs*
[Android Apps and Games] fernandezhjr:
After first flashing a 2.3.5 rom, I am able to set an initial custom font of my liking, but unable to change it thereafter . I can only revert back to the stock font. I have not tested if it is due to mods applied after the initial setting. Next time I flash a 2.3.5 rom, I will test and report back my findings.

thank you for the app martino2k6 :)

Help ... the installed fonts don't show up in Font Changer

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, that I just Rooted (yesterday), so now I'm a "Superuser" and installed Font Changer and Font Installer. I installed the fonts to /sdcard/.fontchanger/ (which was the default for Font Installer) ... Is that the right directory? Obviously there's something I'm supposed to do or missing, since the installed fonts don't show up anywhere to chose in "Font Changer", in the Basic or Advance tabs. BTW, I also bought the donation version.

I'm having fun with it, but I've spent a bunch of time figuring out how to find the regular font folder, since I think I put in the wrong directory in Font Installer or am doing something else wrong.

Any help would be Greatly appreciated !!!

P.S. I'm less than a week-old newbie to Android, so please pardon my extreme ignorance.

Tim
[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
To be honest, I'm not sure what Font Installer is... I've always manually added my custom fonts to /sdcard/.fontchanger/ and they show up in the basic menu portion of the app Font Changer. I have noticed that I've had to alter the name of a particular font at times in order for it show up.
[Android Apps and Games] olliesshop:
That sounds like a pragmatic solution ... I'll give that a try. Thanks !!!

Also, is there a way to change the size of the "system font" that's on the menu's, etc. to be smaller ... since they're absolutely huge on my phone's 4.5" screen and I could make them 1/2 the size and easily still read them.

Thanks again for any help !!!

Tim
[Android Apps and Games] smashmix:
Can I manually change font's size with this app? If no, is there any app which allows me to do that?

EDIT: Sorry same question is above :(
[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
No, there's no way to change the font size with this app. And I'm not aware of any other app that allows this... the best idea I can think of is to select a font that is smaller. Or, you may be able to edit your font file specifically (perhaps with a program such as High-Logic Font Creator) and then apply the edited version... just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] mattfox27:
Great APP...just throwing in a suggestion, it would be great if when you started app it would show you what font you are currently using and maybe when you change font it will tag the previously used font. Just my 2 cents....love the app
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Actually I already implemented this feature in the past, but after testing it decided to scrap it. The reason was that Font Changer cannot prohibit the user from messing with the fonts (either manually, with another app, or by flashing ROMs), as such the "saved" state could often end up being inconsistent and lead to a degree of confusion. So I decided to leave it out, however you can switch to the 'Advanced' tab and see what you should have set at the moment (again, to be taken with a pinch of salt if you've been messing around with the fonts).

Attached is a teaser of what is coming in the next version. There is still a lot to be done though! (As you may see from the pic) :)
[Android Apps and Games] smashmix:
Thank you! Ok. I found some fonts which are smaller than others before and left on my Android the "Times" font. Now I pretty much have what I wanted.. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
Will there be support for ICS soon? I'm using SGS on ICS beta 2.
[Android Apps and Games] SeppWinkler:
Color change.

Please, does it provide a color change of system font? Is there any utility which can customize color of system font? Thank you and please forgive me if it is not question for this thread.

Sepp

Galaxy S II
[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
Color is definitely not controlled by anything related to font. I'm sure someone can explain this better, but the system itself controls color... be it the OS, individual apps, themes, etc. You'd have to dig into the code itself...
[Android Apps and Games] SeppWinkler:
Thx a lot for answer. I am not very experienced in programming, so I am traing to find something like utility. I would like to change the color on my Galaxy S II from default grey to gold (dark yellow) or similar.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Have you seen my earlier post? An interface for ICS should hopefully be coming soon (before XMas hopefully), but it should work with ICS out of the box. If not, then someone needs to let me know.

Exactly. You could unpack framework.apk (or something like that), get the XML files, and modify 'textPrimaryColor'/'textSecondaryColor'/and others. That said, I'm not sure why you'd want to do that. You would break TOO many applications. Changing fonts is grey territory. Changing colours is just plain black.

It has already been explained a few times. You cannot really do that.
[Android Apps and Games] jayerfernandes:
Im running CM7 on the SGS2 and ive been using this wonderful app on both stock and custom samsung ROMS.

I noticed that when I use a custom font (like the Windows Phone Font) in a custom samsung ROM, it renders properly, but on CM7 i end up with small squares in the trailing edge of my apps in my app drawer and browser tabs. (Im using the ADW launcher that comes with CM7).

I found a solution on this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16895848#post16895848) that does not match exactly to my problem. Does anyone know if this works in this case? I've posted on the CM Q&A thread as well, as it seems to be a CM issue, but im not too sure.

Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
Hey. What you're describing sure sounds like the same problem I had way back... what makes you think the issue from the post you linked is not the same as your issue? Can you post/attached a screenshot? I'm almost positive it's the same based on your description. There's an easy fix, if this is the case...
[Android Apps and Games] Italian_Custom_Style:
Using it on my SGS2 great app!
[Android Apps and Games] zonetrooper90:
Is it safe to remove the app after changing fonts?
[Android Apps and Games] JaymzBond:
works great on huawei ideos x5
[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
where to download fonts from?
[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
Dafont.com is a good place to start.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Why would you want to do that? And no, it's not a great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
After a bit of reading, it appears that only the CDMA version of the HTC Wildfire has NAND unlocked using unrevoked3. The GSM version is still locked. That's most likely why.

droid x font changer

I have a rooted droid x and I keep trying to run your program but it says I do not have full root and no writing acces for the system partition.... I used Z4 root on the 2.2.1 update.... every other root program is working fine, even super manager which requires write access..... so confused
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Not every root program requires system write access (I don't see any mention of it for Super Manager on AppBrain), and even those that might need it for certain tasks don't check for it. It most likely says that because you don't actually have system write access unfortunately.

-- Long story short, Font Changer doesn't kick around. It checks for system write access explicitly. This way I can easily rule out devices which will not work at runtime, instead of kidding users into thinking that it will work and getting lots of "please fix it" type of requests :)

Anyway, you can check manually using any file manager that allows you to remount the system partition (I personally use Root Explorer). Just mount /system as r/w (read/write), select any file from your SD card, copy it anywhere under /system, refresh the directory listing (or exit the file manager and open it again). If the file is not there, you don't have NAND unlocked I'm afraid. If it is there, my apologies and I'll investigate the issue further.
[Android Apps and Games] H-Man 38:
can someone put a Apk please....
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
It's in the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] THE-ILLITE:
It seems as tho my nand is not unlocked.... so odd. I thought for some reason it was due to everything else I have done to my phone. Do you know of any options I have to unlock the nand?? I used Z4 to root my phone on the new 2.2.1 update on the DX..... thanks in advance even for the quick response! CHEERS!!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Sorry, but I'm afraid I don't know. Your best bet would be asking in the Droid X section of the forums.
[Android Apps and Games] THE-ILLITE:
thanx so much... I really appreciate the quick response. I'm not newbie so I'll be able to figure it out, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] THE-ILLITE:
I am nand unlocked actually.... I have BusyBox installed. BusyBox requires nand unlock to even install.... Now I need help, lol
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Sorry to dash your hopes, but busybox does not need NAND unlock because it is (usually) installed along with your firmware/ROM which gets installed from recovery, where you can write to the system partition obviously (otherwise you wouldn't even be able to flash a new ROM!). Unless you installed it using some other way...

Anyway, if you really want to try it yourself, do the steps which I described a few posts back.
[Android Apps and Games] THE-ILLITE:
installed BusyBox on it's own.... unrooted, tried installing BusyBox - got an error message telling me my Nand needed to be unlocked.... rooted using Z4, then installed BusyBx without an issue... Now I'm really confused.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm sorry, so it looks like you do have NAND unlocked after all. When you unrooted and rooted again, did Font Changer not work afterwards by any chance? Did you try rebooting?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the great app, works fine on the X10. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] jwils96:
are there any methods that do unlock NAND?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I'm afraid I don't know, but if unrevoked3 doesn't do it yet then I suppose there isn't a method so far. Just be patient, eventually someone will unlock it.

Version 1.7.1.4 has been released, the APK is on the front post. LG Optimus GT540 (non-CM ROMs) compatibility has been added. Hope it works without any problems ^^
[Android Apps and Games] jwils96:
well, thanks anyway, ill keep a look out for one. :)
[Android Apps and Games] FritzJ92:
I have a question, how do you creat a folder in SD called ".fontchanger"... my PC wont let me and my Android phone says cannot create
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
If you run Font Changer already then it will auto-create the folder. Is this your case?
[Android Apps and Games] FritzJ92:
I ran Font Changer, and it did not create the folder so i tried creating, it and no success... I will just uninstall and reinstall the app and see how that goes
[Android Apps and Games] FritzJ92:
Alright this time it installed, so I just installed a font, wish me luck... Does anyone know a Font site besides

[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
Hi. I cant seem to find your earlier post about this. For me it doesn't work. Im using onecosmic's ICS port for the SGS. After I select the font and reboot, there are no changes.

Can anyone confirm or deny if its working for ICS? Maybe its just me?
[Android Apps and Games] FancyRabbitt:
This is awesome
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
It would be nice if someone else could confirm. I'm really close to finishing ICS support off (so close I was thinking of posting a beta APK tonight!), so I might wait for a bit.

Any chance you could open up the 'Advanced' tab and try to replace one of the 'Roboto' fonts? I have a suspicion that ICS perhaps uses these instead of 'DroidSans' fonts.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
It'd be best if you reverted back to your original font. Otherwise your phone could be left in an inconsistent state, and with the possibility of Font Changer not being able to detect that state in the future and recover from it.
[Android Apps and Games] torchie:
What a coincidence!

I'm on a Nexus S 4G with aosp's ICS 4.0.1 ROM and Franco's kernel. Rooted.

After viewing Duarte's work on my Pre I realized how great Prelude was compared to Roboto, so I tried a change to see what could have been.

It didn't work. Nothing happened after I applied the font.

EDIT:

Whoops, turned out that by default it replaces Droid Sans instead of Roboto.

When I tried to replace Roboto, I got stuck in a boot loop.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Interesting... so it does seem like Roboto is the font used now, instead of Droid Sans, but it's slightly worrying that you got into a bootloop after trying to replace it.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Attached in this post of the 'Lite' version of Font Changer 3.0.0. Please note that this is a beta version, and many of the changes outlined below may be experimental or not yet known to work. If you get a force close (or a boot loop), please try to report it and include information such as how to reproduce it and a logcat log.

Changes:

MIUI support withdrawn (sorry folk, but MIUI has deviated too much from Android and there have been way too many issues with it so I have no other choice but to drop the support)

ICS support (I don't posses an ICS device, however I have mapped the fonts so it should replace the correct ones)

HC/ICS UI support (initial for now, tweaks and optimizations will be coming gradually)

Quick boot disabled in default configuration

Some small bug fixes

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] azrash:
Hello Martino, first of all, thanks for such a wonderful app! I really love the preview function, is it possible to add extra preview option like Italic and ItalicBold?

and I found something that can be added into your info section of the app,which is name formatting of a Bold Italic font. it should be ItalicBold if available eg. FontName-ItalicBold.ttf. I fount out about this while trying to install Roboto font group, somehow bold italic was recognized as a separate font, after a few renaming tries, i found out that after renaming to Roboto-ItalicBold, FontChanger would recognize all the Roboto font as one group.

hope this'll help, thanks!:)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi,

'ItalicBold' shouldn't work. What happens is that it either picks it up as 'Bold', or outright ignores it. The way I've written it is exactly how the instructions say; it recognises only the three types. That said, I'm planning to do a rewrite of that part so it can be more flexible.

For that to happen I however first need people to test 3.0 and let me know that it works fine on ICS. I'd rather not use the emulator for testing this kind of stuff...
[Android Apps and Games] mgonzalezpolo:
Hi! Where can I download the fonts? Tnaks!
[Android Apps and Games] Nexism:
I use dafont,com they have most of the fonts on the web in one place.

Testing Font Changer 3.0.0 now, will report.

martino2k6...I have been using this since I rooted and it is one of my favorite apps. I change my fonts often it's a good, easy way to get a fresh look. Thank you so much, and thank you for the continued follow up and updates as well.

-Nexism
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Thanks for the support and the kind words :)

I'd be really glad to get some feedback, mainly from people running ICS, as I've been planning on pushing an update before I'll go on holiday as after that there won't be any updates for a while. I also only have a single device which is capable of running ICS, but seeing as I need it for work I can't really put unstable firmware on it. And the emulator wasn't of much help... :(

I didn't want to rush this, mainly because some people have reported bootloops on ICS, however I may be left with no other choice than to release tomorrow (the last time I'll have time for some Font Changer work before I go off) with a "Use at your own risk on ICS" disclaimer.

That said, I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be able to make it more flexible (while keeping tentative ICS support in), so that more fonts will be supported by the 'Simple' mode; such as BoldItalic, Italic, and others. But I'll see how things will go.
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
I'm testing out 3.0 beta on ICS and I've noticed that if I try to change a font within the advanced tab I go into a bootloop. But if I just use basic i have no problem.
