Flash over the same ROM that you have, it's the easiest way and it won't wipe/factory reset your stuff (unless you specify that option).

Otherwise take a look at the Font Changer website and you'll find some zips for restoring fonts. You may also use ADB if you know how. Again, the above option is really the simplest as you most likely already have the ROM zip on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] reverend remiel:
Not too sure about that, seeing as the phone's two weeks old and running stock rom, just rooted... but I'll have a look around to see if it's there. Thanks so far, I'll be back with more questions if I get nowhere. :)
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
It's the easiest without messing and learning other stuff, to be more precise :)

If you're running stock with no custom recovery then you can just go into download mode and flash the same stock ROM over. You'll then just have to root it again and that will be it. Just be sure not to tick 'repartition' in Odin/Heimdall. Samsung devices are really easy to flash :)

The messy option with a learning curve:

1) Download Android dev tools and install them

2) Connect your device to your PC while turned on (and hope that you turned on USB debugging)

3) Type into a command prompt 'adb shell' then follow with the below:

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

cd /system/fonts

cp DefaultFont.ttf Roboto-Regular.ttf

cp DefaultFont-Bold.ttf Roboto-Bold.ttf

... and any other default fonts to their appropriate counterparts

... and your device should come alive (if not then reboot by long-pressing the power button for 5 sec)
[Android Apps and Games] reverend remiel:
The stupid phone just died completely... thankfully it just ran out of battery.

Anyway, it's running stock rom, rooted, with CWM Recovery. USB debugging is on. No other mods done so far.

I have Samsung Kies installed, but apparently that won't work properly if I need to re-root it. Will download the Android tools and see how I get on.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Given your setup you've got plenty of options. Changing fonts can only soft brick your device, always leaving with a way to get it back to the original state (without loosing any of your apps/data).

Looking at how popular stock S3s are I will probably make a restore update zip for it sometime this week. I only have zips for CM and MIUI.
[Android Apps and Games] reverend remiel:
I went for the adb route, as that's what I'm used to from my Desire HD, and now it's alive again! Thanks a lot!

Now I need to get that apps+data backup going... :)

Hi,

I changed the fonts but now my phone doesn't boot, it comes to the boot logo and then starts again, so it is not possible to me to connect with adb.

Is there another method to restore the fonts or do I have to re-flash?

I have a Sony Sola
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi,

You can connect with adb even if your device is in a boot loop, but only if you enabled USB debugging prior. Reflashing sounds like the best choice in your situation I'm afraid, unless the adb route won't work.

I have disabled Sony devices on Play as they have been causing too many issues. Wish I could get my hands on one to figure out what exactly is going wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] raul999:
I flashed because I couldn't connect with adb.

The app works fine with the default font changes, but if you want to change more fonts it wouldn't work.

PS If it could help I have a Sony Sola with ICS

In the next days i would try to change one font after another and see with one causes problems.

I have unpublished the apps from Google Play. I apologize to all users whom this may inconvenience, mainly those who supported the development by purchasing the app (I'll try to make it so that you'll be able to get any future versions without ads). I will however continue development and post new versions here. After all this app was written because I wanted something better than what was out there already, and that's still a reason to keep going (unless someone can drop a bombshell on me that I may not be aware of).

The reason for unpublishing is that there have been too many user complaints since Android 4.0 started becoming mainstream. Despite having added workarounds, and warned users, people still manage to get their devices into bootloops and I get the anger flooding in. I've even bought a couple of these "troublesome" devices with my own money only to find nothing out of the ordinary. The only time I manage to get a bootloop with most is when I do silly things. I guess there was too much expectation for the average rooted Play user on my side.

So here we are, Font Changer still alive for the tech-savvier XDA community. You will have to keep your eyes peeled on this thread for any updates :(

But the thing is upto some areas

It doesn't changes the bold fonts.

What should I do for that, please help me out

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
You need to make advanced changes. You need to find the bold font for the font u are using and use it to replace roboto bold. I also suggest changing roboto italic and roboto italic bold. 4 fonts in total should be changed to get a complete font change.

If you read the instructions inside the app it would have said that. If you also search through this thread you will see lots of answers on how a bootloop can be resolved.

Status bar clock won't change!

Hi

I hope you can help me out:

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Busy box etc. and whenever i change a font on my device the status bar clock (top right hand corner of the screen) stays the same font. It used to work ok but i am not sure what has happened.

Do you by any chance know how to make it so that the clock font changes with the system font i set? Like i said, it used to work ok.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

best regards,

Gali

[Android Apps and Games] DRTMI:
I have been using this on my Droid X for several months now and it works perfectly, not one hiccup. I change my fonts at least once per day.
[Android Apps and Games] dadsterflip:
first of all great app! just wish it works with tranquility 3.6 for the X.. works get on my wifes incredible running skyraider.

anyways im having issues with mine. i got the fonts installed and all. when i choose what fonts and hit apply then i get a restart now or restart later screen. well the restart letters are in japanesse and sometimes missing letters. after reboot it installs the font i choose. one time after i choose apply, all the letters were in japanesse or chinesse but man it was hard navigating lol.

another issue is when i hit apply then restart, it does nothing and my screen starts to flicker in and out then freeze. i had to pull the battery out. im not sure if this is only because of tranquility rom.

would love to help fix this somehow or something. thx!
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi there and thanks for the kind words :)

For the issue with freezing, I would suggest you to switch off quick rebooting in the settings. It might cause some problems with certain firmwares.

-- Sorry, forgot that you most likely have the lite version which doesn't have this option. You could try selecting 'Reboot later' and then reboot manually. See what happens and let me know the results please.

For the other issue, that's just strange. What fonts did you try to set? Font Changer doesn't have any Japanese/Chinese translations, so I'm ruling out a bug in selecting a wrong type of text for the UI elements. I'm downloading the ROM now just to get a quick look, but obviously my options are limited just to looking at the files since I don't have a DX.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
I took a look at the ROM and it seems like it has its own inbuilt font changing option. Either way, the structure of the ROM is quite different from any other ROM and since it does have an option for changing fonts (put your fonts into '/sdcard/TranQ/custom_fonts/') already I'm afraid I don't think I'll be making changes to support it.

On a side note, Samsung Galaxy S and sister devices seem to work fine if you choose the 'Default font' option in the settings which Sammy provides for you.

[Android Apps and Games] THE-ILLITE:
I have tried everything under the sun. Deleted, restored, wiped, rebooted, etc. still to no avail. It's very odd because I have literally changed everything else on my X that I would have expected this to be a breeze. I am now back to rooted 2.2.1 with busybox seperately installed.... where to go from here i have no clue.
[Android Apps and Games] dadsterflip:
thx for looking into it! yea i tried putting the fonts on the tranq folder and well, it works but just i don't understand why it still does this. "succ?ss re?sta?t? (insert weird chinesse or japanesse letters on "?"). i use the fonts from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160

i just download the file and grab the droidsan and droidsan-bold and rename them to what they are called. i did the same concept on your app and they both show up as one font but tranq actually shows the droidsan and the droidsan-bold and i can only choose one of those two unlike yours, combines them (as far as i know). i really love your app. maybe ill switch to a different rom and buy this app to support your work! thx again
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
So strange... Would you like me to cook-up an apk which leaves out the check to see what will happen?

I see. That sounds more like a problem with the actual firmware. I mean, I don't want to dump the blame on someone else to make things easier for myself, however the developer has certainly done some strange things to the firmware (more head-turning than MIUI just by looking at the file structure) so it is possible that the problem lies somewhere there. Might be a good idea to ask him about it, because if his own font changing tool produces such strange results then there is something wrong somewhere and he will most likely know more about it than I would I'm afraid.

Sounds a bit extreme to switch the firmware just for this little app, but thanks for the kind words nonetheless :)
[Android Apps and Games] dadsterflip:
thx for the quick respond. brought this app on my wifes incredible! i use to do the push adb etc etc just to change font. this makes things so much easier and my wife likes to theme her phone every holiday so now i just load a bunch of fonts and she just chooses bam done, no more adb push and pull lol.

well, i will ask p3droid about this. thx again.

p.s. one more thing. could i just add anytrue ttf? or do i still have to add droidsan and droidsan-bold? i wasn't sure. been adding both. lol being a noob here
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Thanks for the support.

I'm sorry but your P.S. question confused me a bit. What do you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] thekindladies:
Hello, I have Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro rooted with SuperOneClick. I know this fone is supported only with z4root, but I thought I'd still try Font Changer.

When I run it, I get the message:

"Write access for the system partition was not established on your device and therefore this application will have to be closed. Please make sure your device has full root before you try again."

Though if Font Changer says I don't have full root, why I can easily copy files to /system with Root Explorer?
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
Hi there. After you copied with Root Explorer, did you refresh the directory? Try rebooting and see if the files are still there, where you copied them.

I remember that in the old days when the Desire didn't have NAND unlocked when you copied files to /system with Root Explorer they would appear there, but physically they weren't there (most likely because Root Explorer doesn't check whether the file was copies successfully after the copy command finishes).
[Android Apps and Games] thekindladies:
I did quite a few times. The file always stays where I coped it.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
OK, if you know how could you please run the following commands and let me know what the output was? Both ADB or any terminal emulator will do fine, as long as you can somehow send me what the output was.

su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox mkdir /system/fonts/test
ls -all /system/fonts/
busybox rm -r /system/fonts/test
ls -all /system/fonts
[Android Apps and Games] thekindladies:
Sorry, I was doing something else and did not notice your post.

I started tying in the commands and get stuck after the second line, as busybox is not found.
[Android Apps and Games] martino2k6:
What is the exact line which you get after typing in

busybox

?

Seems like you just found a bug in detecting whether busybox is present... Anyway, after reading a bit on SuperOneClick root it doesn't install busybox when rooting. Did you install it manually or not at all?
[Android Apps and Games] thekindladies:
when I typed in just busybox, I got busybox not found.

i don't know if I did right, but I wnet to Root Explorer and copied the busybox I have in titanium backup's folders to /system/xbin

then I started with your commands in android terminal emulator and got to the 4th line:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin: $PATH

$su

# busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

# busybox mkdir /system/fonts/test

# ls -all /system/fonts/

-all: No such file or directory

Your 'Regular', 'Italic', and whatever else you have there is throwing it off.

Updated to version 1.7.1.5. In this version there are fixes for:

busybox and system write access detection, which caused people to get a message about not having system write access when instead they had busybox missing (this may apply to a couple of people in this thread)

boot loops on MIUI when setting a font which has the bold counterpart missing. MIUI doesn't like setting a regular font as bold, so this has just been disabled and the default font will be set instead
