Is there some sort of application that works on android 4.2.2 to change system fonts without erasing the originals in case of problems? I have searched the forum prior to posting, but the best I could find was outdated threads on older versions of Android. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
im sure ive added fonts before and the old ones dont get overwritten? just like adding new ringtones, notification tones

Okay, I've searched but nothing.
I'm missing all of my system sounds, I used cynogen's mod along with HTC hero theme and with JF's 1.5 ADP. Of course, newest radio and spl.
I've searched and searched and I cannot find any of my system sounds. E.g. "Look at me", "Rattlesnake" etc. They're all missing, I'm using both rings extended and the normal android system but can't find them. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Guys,
I was playing with my HD2 last night when I received SMS, I tapped it to view it but the font size became so large that the writing overlaps.
When I type SMS the font size is ok and when looking at emails the size is fine, its just when u tap an incoming sms the size goes huge, and adivice or help?
I tried searching the forum or htc website but cant seem to see anything..
Thanks
Have you tried adjusting the font size? When viewing messages you can change the font size by clicking on Menu>Text Size.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
When I go to the SMS menu (where you can switch between directories : incoming, sent, trash) : the font is huge.
Except this problem all other font sizes are OK.
I've tried to search in the registry, but no lukc.
I've tried to change the font size in the parameters, even a soft reset : no effect on this huge SMS font.
I can try to send a picture to show the problem.
Thanks for any help !
Hello,
here is a picture of the problem.
On every other else apps, the fonts are OK...
It happened to me too lately, but reinstalling one of the SMS patches repaired it. Unfortunately, I can't remember, which one (07567 or 8007).
Pls. note that patches can be reinstalled only if you set the appropriate values under "HKLM\drivers\builtin\hotfix" to and earlier date. I set all of them to "20091119-00" before reinstall and it worked fine. Checking my registry afterwards shows that the value called "Messaging_Client_Version" is updated to "20100112-00" so you should run the patch that is related to that one.
Good luck! Z
Hello zoltansz,
thanks a lot for your help !
I tried to reinstall the 8007 patch and it works !
I didn't know waht values to change in registry in order to be able to reinstall this patch.
Thanks again for your help !
Do you think that it would be safer to reinstall the other patch 7567 or I don't need to do that ?
Hi !
I can't seem to find the path you indicated... looks like there's no "hotfix" in "built in" registry...
can you help me please ???
Thx
up ???
No one has any news ???
I'm desperate here....
Hi again !!!
I can't believe that no one has an answer on that issue..... i'm on rom 1.66 and i can't reload previous hotfix on sms, but can't find the path to HKLM/drivers/builtin/hotfix...
What should i do ??? how can i read my sms again ???
UP please help !!!!
Do a hard reset, that should fix it.
Just did a hard reset to install the rom 1.66... and that caused the trouble... not sure it will help...
Well, I have the same problem, but have the 1.66 official ROM, and the 8007 patch won't install because it says the version is incompatible (the 1.66 ROM supposedly has all the previous patches included).
I tried searching the registry for the specified "HKLM\....\hotfix" key, and it's not there either.
So, any additional ideas to overcome this problem ?

post the fonts let me take a look.
Thanks The actual characters I am after are at: 10d0-10fb. I've playing with this for a while. Actually what I did, was copy the sylfaen.ttf into one of the first WP7 images for HD2, tweaked some registry and recoocked the ROM. But this did not work. After several failures I quit trying hoping that MS would eventually add Georgian letter support to OS. But with all this new updates, support for Georgian letter is still missing. So, if you could help I and probably all the Georgian language community would appreciate your help.
Its gona be a bit of a hastle I think! with not much of a change altho its worth looking in to because I would'nt mind useing some other fonts on my system.
You can view the fonts on your phone useing touchexperiance
On your pc just open touchexperiance and open the file browser
Next go down the the section of files that start with S and you will see 9 fonts
segoeui.ttf
segoeuib.ttf
SegoWP.ttf
SegoWP-Black.ttf
SegoWP-Bold.ttf
SegoWP-Light.ttf
SegoWP-Semibold.ttf
SegoWP-Semilight.ttf
seguisym.tff
Im gessing replaceing the one's that says segoeui.ttf & segoeuib.ttf would be a good one's to try with.
Anyway im not sure what font is used buy the system or where you could change teh directory posibbly in shell Not sure?
The fonts might be overrideable or unmoveable not sure?
Some of the fonta are defenetly made strickly for windows phone 7
But you might beable to rename your font and usse it as a system font but agin not sure?
This might requre a custom update or a cooked in rom to use not sure!
The file you sent me was alredy instaled on my PC.
The fonts are digitaly sined by microsoft so im not sure if useing a diffrent one would break the system updates or if its even posible to modify without bulding a custom rom
In all honisty in order to do it and make it look right you would need 9 new versions of sylfaen.ttf
If I end up cooking my owen rom I will defenetly be trying to use custom fonts
but for now I have other projects im trying to finnish
If you want to look in to any of the things I mentioned & report back to let us know that would be good keep at it im sure you will figure it out if you dotn let us know whare you are stuck!
I know thats dose'nt help much but maby you have an idia about ware to start depending how bad you want them.
Puting together a nice pack of 9 fonts all the same that match orignals wouldbe a good start.
We could probly put together a nice quality custom update with that.
Well goodluck!
The fonts are placed into windows directory (by default) you can actually change the location of the fonts from the registry. If interested I can send you the extract from the WPk7 registry file, where the fonts and font linking is done. As mentioned I have coocked my own ROM with sylfaen in windows directory and changed some settings in the registry. It seems that copying the font only doesnot solve the problem, there is the registry key where you have to add the your font to. It is quite interesting, because all the fonts seem to link to SegoWP. The problem is that the range for Georgian fonts is actually present in all the fonts that a factory present in WP7. The only problem is that that range is empty. Thus, when viewing Georgian pages you recive blank squares instead of charachters. With my own cocked ROM with sylfaen.ttf in it, I recieved quite strange results, MS Word would display Georgian text perfectly, Outlook would not. The strangest happened to IE when viewing georgian pages... The page would start blinking?!? Very strange. At this point I quite playing arround with this prodject, as I got to the max I could do I was thinking of using the xap install/update method that Da_G provided, but it is too techy for me.
Thanks anyway.

Hi guys,
Firstly, apologies if this topic has been answered before, I wasn't able to find much on here. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to have desaturated versions of icons that I have on the phone and was able to extract them onto my PC and change them. The problem was getting them back on the phone, I tried a few methods that didn't seem to work and in the end had to resort to using APK Icon Editor to replace and pack the file without issue. Is there not a location folder on the phone that I can send icons to that will be picked up by launchers or is the method I used the only way?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
You have to decompile it and re compile it sometimes it need to be signed with the same signature use tickle my android or if you want do it with this app I found in the play store
