Does anyone know how I can change the fonts in Facebook back to stock? I installed some apps and when I was done, the fonts in facebook, as well as google maps have changed to this hard to read tiny 7 segment led display looking things.
I tried this in another forum but i think this is a more general issue and not a Rom issue.
Thanks,
Jeff
That's one of the reasons I got ride of it and there are many many reasons to get rid of it number one reason being it sucks...
www.lite.facebook.com via Opera is a million times better.

Yea, I agree, that app does kinda suck, but the pickle of it is that the fonts also have changed in my Google maps, not the text on the map, but all of the search results and gps loading test up in the upper right corner.
I don't get it, they were fine before I installed one of the many apps I usually use.
Thanks,
jeff
Just an FYI, I had this problem too... The font looked all straight and boxy, terrible quality, almost like a very old terminal font... However, all of the sudden one day it went back to regular. I dont know what I uninstalled or whatever in the time being, because i didnt uninstall something just with that purpose, but it definitely did go back to regular after a few random uninstalls... unintentionally.
cool, thanks, that is exactly what my font looks like, like something out of the early 80's.

I know what caused these font's (both in Google Maps and Facebook) to change on my TP2 - installing TouchWatch2 (which includes the LCD font). I think the problem is actually in Facebook/Google though - I think they somehow link to their default font by number, not name, so if a new font is installed they end up using a different one than expected...
Not tried fixing mine though - I liked the 80's!!

That is a good hypothesis, I to love the touchwatch, but my fonts got buggered, I believe when I installed the gps cycle thing and that used nice rounded fonts.
I am hoping that someone on here can tell me where how I can install a different font in the font pool that these programs use so i can fix it, I really dont care about the Facebook being hard to read but the Google maps thing is really hard to read.
Thanks all,
Jeff
This happened on my Google maps apps some weeks ago and is related to a font called TRANGA__.TTF being installed which can be found in the Windows\fonts folder, along with TRANA___.TTF.
I think it may have been installed alng with the 'GPS Location' app but I'm not sure.
Today I renamed the TRANGA__.TTF as zTRANGA__.TTF then copied tahoma.ttf to Windows\fonts and renamed it as TRANGA__.TTF.
This has solved the problem in the Facebook app, which I had just installed, and Google Maps also.
HTH
Note: TRANGA__.TTF gives a digital display with all the bars filled in, possibly to indicate no value in the GPS app. I also replaced the TRANA___.TTF which is a digital style font is probably used to give the lat and long but I have replaced that also.
Sorry in advance if these have already been pointed out and/or fixed.
I'm aware that this is a leaked beta but i'm having some strange issues.
Mainly being the market not downloading apps. I can browse the internet, browse the market, but nothing will download.
Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Also, i was quite disappointed with the fact that they did next to nothing to the absolutely terrible camera. The shutter speed appears to have improved *slightly* but pictures are still far too sharp and over saturated.
On the other hand, i do like the 720p filming
Another thing i noticed is that interacting with the live wallpapers is way off. When you press the 'Nexus' live wallpaper, the actual 'hit' is almost an inch out. Not a huge deal, just something that's annoying me.
On the plus side, the live wallpapers are incredibly smooth. A lot smoother than on my Nexus, god knows how dell managed that!
But my main hate, the one that annoys me to no end, is that you can now only have 6 icons in landscape. Wtf was the point in that dell? You took the best thing about this phone and made it worse!
Apart from alllll those things, i'm absolutely loving the 2.1 update (especially the dialler) but because of the above mentioned things i'm getting tempted to go back to 1.6. I need to download things dammit!
Another 2 issues that bothered me were the crap keyboard which is VERY slow and if you rush it you get mistypes, sometimes I have to press the same button twice as it did nothing the first time and I get a spelling mistake in every word, the keyboard is messed up.
Anyway to get the superior keyboard from the previous 1.6 with the lovely numpad?
Secondly, there are some problems with the wallpaper/homescreens. There is no way to add or remove them, seems I'm stuck with 6.
I tried to set a simple wallpaper on say screen one and it stretches right outside the screen and fills all 6 screens up, why??!!
I am using the same wallpapers before that are specially for the streak and are set at 800X480 and it stretches one pic across all screeens and it looks distorted, why?
Before I upgraded, I could go to screen one, put a wallpaper, it would fit fine and only in one screen, not fill the other ones too.
Can ANYONE think why this is or even a fix to this problem?
At the moment I have more problems with 2.1 than 1.6...
Glad to see I'm not the only one with these issues. I can't stand the new keyboard, driving me mad but I'll survive. I don't like the new layout of the icons and the fact you can no longer have multiple backgrounds is a shame. Also I've noticed certain widgets just won't sit in the centre of the home screens any more.
I'm hoping because this is a leak that Dell haven't added their personal touches yet and that this will come when they go official otherwise I'll be a sad panda!

Yeah, I guess we have to stick with what we have until it's officially released.
At least we have SOME improvements...
The portions you mention I have not had. It sounds like you have a few issues with your install.
With regards to we everthing else, 2.1 ain't perfect but its a tonne better than the 1.6

Of course by portions I mean problems....the swype keyboard although better its still far from perfect

These issues may go away when the final 2.1 is released

Hi Meltus
If your Google E-Mail account is Googlemail change it to gmail by logging in through your computer and use the option to change it to a gmail address and that has fixed the Market problems for me and some others hope it works for you.

Any one else having issues that when talking on the phone with headphones in if you press the lock button it hangs up the call? Found something that drives me even more mad than the keyboard lol.
Not sure what I am doing wrong , but I can't seem to use any 3rd party keyboards ? They install OK , I can select them , but then when I go to use them , the Dell one pops up. (Any ideas ? )
The only issue I noticed , is that the Sleep/wake button stops working properly occasionally , instead of putting the device to sleep , it dims the screen , but the screen stays on ,
Not sure what is going on here , I think the phone may "think" its asleep , as the live wallpaper stops moving , but the screen is definately still awake.
The only way out is to reboot by taking the battery cover off !
Seems an isolated problem I don't have any problem downloading just that some games wont work - more importantly launcherpro looks very strange with tiny icons! Spread a across the screen with Hugh gaps.

i have had EVERY issue above! its beta so im not going to complain but i just hope its much better once the ota arrives

However, I do believe if you change to Gmail from Googlemaill, any apps you bought with your Googlemail account are NOT carried over.
Hence you have to purchase again, this is why I haven't made the switch yet, until that issue is resolved I will be staying as Googlemail.

Exactly the same problem here.
And to change keyboards, you select it and long press a text box (like in messages) then you pick the keyboard you want from there.
Anyway, i fixed my market problem by changing my e-mail from 'googlemail' to 'gmail' (thanks doggman) and then wiping the phone. Not sure which made it work, or whether it was a combination of both, but it's working good now
Issues I've noticed so far: (Maybe nitpicking but I'm comparing it to all my other Androids)
- Live Wallpaper could be smoother. It's pretty smooth but on such a large screen, little glitches are very noticeable.
- Though the keyboard is a lot more comfortable to use without the numpad throwing the right thumb off, the responsiveness is gone from the previous keyboard. But I'm sticking with it cause its alot better looking than 'Better Keyboard' or 'Smart Keyboard'
- No pinch-to-zoom on pictures in the gallery...very disappointing
- Pinch-to-zoom for maps is there, but responsiveness needs work. Almost as bad as Blackberry Torch's pinch-to-zoom. HAHAHA
- Photos seem more saturated than when it was running 1.6. Even affects photos when being used as 'Picture Frame' widget.
- Aside from the saturation of pictures though, the screen display overall is impressive. Quality has improved, sharpness has improved, the HD-feel is there for the home screens. I could even say that it is comparable to the iPhone 4, and better than the Galaxy S display. Theres room for improvements though... better font for icon titles, increase sharpness, less colour overflow.

it did for me, but others claim it doesnt work..
I already signed in with a gmail account and found apps were missing, so I read up on it and several people said to clear the dalvik cache, so I did and the apps came back..
yeah you need root, the universal one click root thing is so easy to do and undo that its fairly painfree...
Ever since updating to 4.2, I have these grey artifacts on grey backgrounds when dialog boxes appear... such as the one attached in my pic......
Not sure why more people are not bringing this issue up, but anyone heard of anything like this, or can confirm to experience this?

That's not just because it's a compressed .jpg, you see that on your tablet? Wow, that's hideous. The headline appeal of the N10 was the amazingly sharp, clean resolution. Have you tried doing a factory reset? If so, RMA!
I think more people aren't talking about it because you're the only one so far on XDA to experience it!
I can't see your attached image but since 4.2 I have noticed artifacts on gray backgrounds of my N7. Looks like it might be a 4.2 thing rather than an N10 thing. I'd need to see your picture to see if its the same thing though.
Hello guys,
im quiet new to xda and to rooting as well.
i read, tried to inform myself and then tried rooting and flashing a custom rom becaused i really liked the idea to discover new features, looks and to empower my device.
anywayi rooted my device, backed it up properly and searched for a custom rom where i found xnote Rom and really liked it.
i flashed it with twrp and it works fine i just wonder about a little issue i have now but cant remember if its there from the start (since i flashed it this morning) but i guess it occured after a few and not immediately.
getting finally to the point, on the top left corner of the screen there is a white line just when the display is about to end, i dont know how to explain it better (the old iphone jailbreak (3gs,4) had a similar line in the middle of the screen when booting while the apple logo appeared, if this might help someone to figure out what i actually mean).
i made a screenshot from my homescreen but i doubt its visible from there because of its thinness, i tried to give you and idea of its location with the red arrow though.
i wonder how to fix it ? should i flash again or is it even a well known issue?
help appreciated
thanks for reading

It's a battery bar, some user doesn't like the usual "Battery" icon on the notification and want minimalism instead. So they remove the those icon but need at least an indication to know the battery levels.
Imagine the whole top line that showing up is your battery life.

ah okay that makes sense, cool feature !
thanks alot for the explaination
I have to say thanks to everyone in advance. I have looked at sites and posts about this question to no avail...at least it did not fix mine
My wallpaper is changing on it's own every hour or 2...at least. It changes to these wallpapers, and the wallpaper is SORT OF "black and white'ish" I have rebooted the phone. I have looked into the accessibility settings and saw nothing and in the display settings and saw nothing. I saw that it says something about possibly having set the wallpapers from the selection "on OnePlus" Well, I didn't. The box is unchcecked.
In addition, the wallpapers that mine are getting changed to are all getting changed to that material typpe. Not only that, but they are being changed in a way that makes them look sort of black and white, while staying color.
Any help short of a factory reset would be appreciated.

Is it any possibility that's it is an app that you have installed? I know it's most likely not the case but just thought I would ask just I'm case
You said that very nicely and that means as much to me as solving the problem so thank you very much.
I'm going to look into it in a little while or when I get up in the morning and I will get back on here and let you know thank you again. you give me too much credit anyway I don't even know the best way to go ahead and check that. Possibly just go ahead and take any apps off my phone that have to do with wallpapers and start from there putting one back on at a time?

Just trying to help
But yes definitely start with wallpaper apps, those can definitely be the problem. Also are you using a different launcher? I know Microsoft launcher has a feature where it changes the wallpaper every so often. Let me know and I'll be happy to help as much as I can!
I normally use Nova but not at the time. As far as the wallpaper apps go I realized a better way to go would be for me to open up each one of them and look at the settings so I could find out that way. and also I picked out the names of the titles that had material in it as in material walls since the images were of that type. Thanks again. (how is the Microsoft launcher? is it just basically a launcher that looks like Windows phone?)
These look like wallpapers by the Tapet app, there is an option in there to change the wallpaper every so many minutes, I would check to see if you have that installed.
NBH (and everyone) that was the solution
Thanks and Happy Holidays
