You would need to use Fontchanger, but why would you want to get rid of Roboto? It's so clean and cool. It defines what Android is.

I replaced all my system fonts with robot slab the font used in Google now, its even more appealing to me than default, looks good in the keyboard and stock clock widget and other Google apps
Sorry bit off topic yea simple font installer make life easier, male sure you back them up, some fonts look nice but aren't suited for phones

hhairplane:- I just need it for a change. I searched about "fontchanger" on google play but couldn't found any relevant one. I am on stock version of android.
tekken179:- Can you tell me which font is best suited for Nexus 4??
And how can I get it? :angel:

i like ubuntu :good:
in my mediafirefolder is a flashable zip ...

You can either use an app or goto system/fonts, just make sure you keep the file names the same

Personally nothing looks better for me more than the Roboto Slab font from Google Now
Opifico looks good too.

it´s a flashable zip for recovery
you need a custom recovery like CWM or Twrp to install it

try the options mentioned here...

Make sure to take Nand before doing anything.... to avoid boot loop....

check the playstore and there should be apps to be able to change fonts without rooting
read this as well
http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-change-the-fonts-on-your-android-phone-32078/

safest way to change the fonts is using some 3rd party launcher.....
if u don't want to root and don't want to use 3rd party launcher... and try to use any app to change the font other than launcher,...
u may get into boot loop...so be very careful before doing this....
if you got into boot loop with out rooting... u may brick ur phone.....

it's possible, but it's the same as building a basic app,
you need to mirror some codes to work for a specific launcher or theme engine,
but if you are asking for the system icons,
then you are out of luck (except CM)

Which rom are you using? If you're using touchwiz, just tap on the file and it'll install. You'll then how select the font in the settings.
If you're using a CM rom, you can use ifont to install it.

Change System Colour

Hi, i just bought Asus laser ZE500KL. I find it be a good phone however i unable to change the system colour which was in light blue.Changing themes does not change the system colour. Is there a way. Can any one comments on it Thanks
AFAIK, no, you can't, by normal means
Either using custom or you can change some values in setting apk maybe, framework? If you don't understand what I'm saying / how to do this, me too, Google is your best friend

You can do it if you are rooted. After you have root you can install an app called Layers on playstore then find a theme for it.

Layers is a theme manager like CM12/13 have, but for stock ROMs or non CM ROMS.. You need root to use it

Rooted.. How to custom fonts?

Hey all... not sure if this has been asked or talked about.. tried searching i might of just been overlooking it tho. Is there a way since we now have rooted phones to add custom fonts of our own choosing?

How to change system font? (Can't find the option under Display settings)

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could please tell me how to change the system font style on my phone. I've tried to search, but everything I've found says to go under Display settings and select the Font option, but I couldn't find any option to actually change the font style, there's only one for dimensions
If this is not possible, my main complain is how bad WhatsApp looks to me with this font: maybe there's some workaround to only change WhatsApp font?
Thanks for your attention
You need root access to do so for now. OnePlus font not yet added but is coming soon on the OTA. Till then if you have root access you can install any font you want.

Ok, so I guess I can wait for a while.
Instead if I decide to root the phone, what should I do to change the font? Thanks

As I said without root access you can't just wait for OP to add the OnePlus font from the beta.
If you decide to unlock I have a guide on the guides section

Already out, should have by now, if not the maybe try a VPN to get it to push. Alternatively download the update and run manually through the updater.
The new slate font looks similar to the cyanogen os system font from the OnePlus One to me.
Hi everybody,
it seems that slate new font is available only on phone with English language set. I'm on 4.5.7 but font option is not present.
If you want change font on 4.5.7 just search font in settings.

Hello
Wiping Cache, wiping system cache, did not help. I donot have the Font settings under the display settings on one plus 5, or via search in the display settings. This just goes to Font size.
thanks
