Is it possible?
There is no option in Settings for Accessibility, and there is no option for changing on screen fonts size.
Is there a hack or a soft which can do this for me?
I am with rooted device (possibly because on su command I can not do almost nothing and it says permission denied on every file).
Is there a font setting file like on most NIX platforms?

Hi, i have just installed this rom and everything works fine but i cannot edit build.prop to increase the size of the icons. I have downloaded different file managers but after i change the line from 167 to 240 i cannot save the file, it says Permission Denied. Also i cannot copy extra ringtones to the ringtones folder and thus change the ringtone, again permission denied. If you can help pls respond. Also is there any way to increase battery life other than those reported all the time?

Hi! Try with Root Explorer, navigate to /system folder. There is a button in the upper area. If it shows "Mount R/W" then push it (r/w means read/write permission). But if it shows "Mount R/O", then i don't know what's the solution...
But this doent make it permanent. After every reboot it will be 167 again.

It makes it permanent if you manage to save the build.prop file...
The workaround I used was to edit the build.prop file on the rom before installing it. Then when it installs, the icons are the size I want to have.
yes, you can surely edit it while its still in the signed zip before install, but post about Root Explorer's (for example) button "Mount r/w" is also true, itshould allow you to save build.prop and then you can try remounting it as r/o again, it shouldnt change back
you can also download LCD density changer from the market
how do I add fonts to the system folder?
Tried to paste century Gothic in there so my website displays properly on icinia tab a500
But file HD wouldn't let me
You need to be rooted first, then use some file manager that allows you to change the folder permission to R/W.

I think he wants to paste the font so he can view his website, not change the OS fonts.
yes that's right
keep system font as is
load missing font that my website needs to display correctly
Did the root and installed font to system folder
website still defaults to wrong font
any ideas?
Hi there,
I am a user of the Redux2 HD2 ROM. With my own set 192 DPI. However as you will probably know many apps do not show up (cus of the old market, new one you'll see its "incomapatable"). And i was wondering if there was any fix for this. problem that sloves it well.
Now you have to change the DPI back, reboot, install apps, change DPI, reboot. There must be another way to this.
Since the HD2 has such an huge screen it is (imo) waaaaaaay more comfortable then the stock (oversized icons) 240DPI.
I agree that the 240 dpi makes the icons (and the whole display) too big for HD2. The ROM I use, had 167 dpi as default, but this caused compatibility problems to the newest Market app, so I changed it to 160. Here's how:
Install File Expert (file explorer). (you can use your preffered explorer for this, but keep in mind that you need to have root access and be able to change file permissions!)
Browse to /sdcard/Android/
Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I use TED text editor)
Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file
Browse to Internal storage/system/
Long click on "build.prop" and change permissions to get full access to the file.
Long click on "build.prop" and Open as.. text (Using TED text editor)
Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file.
Exit File Expert
Open Application Manager and go to Market
Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
Click "Force stop" & "OK"
Click "Clear data" & "OK"
Exit App Manager
Open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions"
Re-boot
This setting of 160 dpi might seem too small to you (compared to the 192 that you use) but trust me, after a couple of days you will like it and you won't have issues with the Market!

I think the question was more of trying to find a way around the DPI problem, not just changing it.
What if change the product name from HD2 to other native Android device in build.prop?
Could this work?

No since it wont change the fact that it uses a DPI that is not standard.
And i tested the 160 DPI and for some reason my rom (Redux2 HD2) is not compatable with those DPI settings (white statusbar if app is open) And some other weird glitches
Try this market, it's the old one but it's modified so the DPI isnt checked.
I use it and never had the problem of apps not showing up (as far as i know)
Just flash it in CWM or take the vending.apk inside the zip and move it to the /system/app/ folder on your phone
Please tell me if it helped.

tested it. did not work.
try this then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20623581&postcount=10,
maybe in combination with Market Enabler to show country specific apps
so yeah,
I usually use iFont to change the font of my phone, it did work, and changed the basic font of my note 3,
yet, it still didn't change the font of any kind of web browser that I have.
how can I change that normal fonts?
I am rooted, and I have access on my sys folders.
please someone enlighten me to change that.
Afraid you wont be able to influence this, as the websites font are coded by the web devs themselves (html or php)
iFont does only change fonts of texts rendered on your device itself

replce the default system font with your own font in system fonts folder by any system browser as root explorer, done it with note 1

yeah I thought so,
but what are the default system font's name?
I saw bunch of the fonts in font folder.
I rename my custom font to : GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
since this one is the default font for Arabic language , then I replce the one at system fonts folder (after backup)
be aware that with this method when you go later to change the font from settings , you will find that all other fonts options are disabered
Hey Guys,
I have an S7 Edge and was always able to change the DPI via any common method.
For some weeks it´s somehow not possible. I tried while on various ROMs.
I tried via editing Build.prop, Android Terminal App, DPI Changing Apps and via Terminal on Mac and Windows.
It just doesnt work....
I noticed that being on BobCat ROM it works.... But with no other ROM. I tried them all on XDA.
Does anybody have an idea why and/or how to fix this?
I appreciate every reply.
You need to have root acces and use a file manager (I use Solid Explorer), open build.prop with the Solid Explorer built in editor (SE Text editor) and find and change the following line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=560
(560 is the best value that you can apply, anything bellow that dpi messes up the touchwiz apps).
Save the file and presto!!!
I hope this can help.
Best regards!!!
Not working. Build.prop shows the new value but no visual change is seen
Did you restart your device?
