Fonts for SGS$? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have the Sprint SGS4, and i cant for the life of me get any fonts (besides the ones that came on the device) to apply. I download fonts and then I go to apply them and they say "this font is not available". Has anyone else encountered this?

just got mine yesterday morning (my store in NJ only got 6!)....same thing with mine... downloaded the comic font but it says not available....

Having the same problem.

Has anyone tried fontomizer sp? It is currently changing servers but it may work eventually.

same thing here.
I'm guessing the fonts aren't optimized for full HD yet?

None of the flipfonts I installed worked either. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Since we are able to install them, I guess they have to be modified a little in order to work.

For some reasons some seem to work, but not all. Bought the "bauhaus" font in the store and it worked just fine, but the ones I tried to install myself doesn't.

font problem
same problem here. im actually looking for the file (not the regular /system/fonts file cuz i dont think thats the one the phone is using for its font pagages, aside from normal system stuff) to put .ttf s in so i can do it manually.
if i find either ill see if i can post it here.

Yeah same problem here got flip font from aptoide and none will work if anyone finds out how please post cheers

New Android market

Has anyone tried the new market to see if it works on the TF??

It would seem that it does. I just grabbed the update for Google Maps and before the update started, the EULA for the Market popped up. I didn't see any visible changes before I exited though.
EDIT: sorry, looks like the update I got was to 3.3.11
I tried it and it wont install. Im not rooted but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

working on my rooted transformer no problems.
Works here too (rooted). In landscape mode it shows bars on each side.
Did you uncheck Unknown sources in Settings Applications?
im guessing its the phone version of the market judging by the black borders as opposed to the tablet version.

You don't need to install it, just move the apk to /system/app (the name should be vending.apk).
Edit: don't forget to set the correct permissions and clear market data in Settings > Applications > All
I got the "new market" a coule weeks ago as an automatic update? and I have to say its SHIIIIT :S
Why did they change the tablet versio? the market it came with was perfect?
I agree, the previous version was much better. Now it's loading for ages and is really more for phones than tablets.
I am now in v3.3.11, and the market is really faster !
I drop down from 10s to 1s to show any page in this new version !
Much better ! It was really annoying !
guys i installed the new market but i dont like it.how i can revert it back to the previous version?i have revolver 3.9.5 rom!!thx.
Auto updated for me today. Seems to be working well so far

Google had quite some issus with the performance on market .. i've experienced many outdated infos on my app-statistics.
At the moment it seems to be fixed .. but they have some translation issues right in the developer-pages .. whatever - nothing neckbreaking ;-)

They even removed the charts for a while because they were showing huge (really huge) drops in most applications (even the most popular ones). Charts are OK now, but installs in developer panel are still much off I think (they show different values than the charts and they doesn't seem to update - or maybe my apps are so unpopular, haha).
All this said I think it's not releated to the slow market application. It should be managed by different servers.
I've been using the 3.3.12 version because I wanted the music stuff that wasn't in .11 and I'm very happy with that version. I know I found it here on XDA by using the search function.

market rant - No more facebook!

Okay, I was going to complain before, but held off. No longer.
It's stupid that the market totally blocks programs that it "thinks" you can't run.
Right now facebook, which I've been running perfectly fine for months, is now marked incompatible with the note.
But a big warning/disclaimer if you have to. But totally block?
It's just plain annoying, especially for apps which 99% work.

Same with google voice search which I have on the phone already but themarket seems to think I don't have it installed and when I try to instal latest version from market it tells me not compatible with my device and can't download it.

No such problem for me. Just to sure I uninstalled Facebook, rebooted, and reinstalled from the Market.
What happens if you try and install from market.android.com? Does it show as being incompatible?

yea. can't see it at all in the market on my phone. on website it says my mytouch4g is compatible. and not my note.
strange how it works for you - perhaps its regional? I haven't actually looked for the app in the market for ages. many roms ago, hah.
i found that reverting to stock dpi, 320, fixes this problem. i think its uncompatible if u set u to non standard dpi values.
im pretty sure thats how i fixed mine.

Android Market - Can't Buy Software - Says I already bought it

I was trying to download Facedroid - Purchase it - and it said I already purchased it and won't install. I went to applications and uninstalled the updates for the market but no go. I did read through some of the posts on similar topics here but didn't seem applicable. Any ideas??

Which ROM are you on? maybe you can clear caches and give it another shot ......
Just a thought... are you using go launcher? They recently fixed a problem where icons were not showing up for installed apps. My thinking here is its already installed but you just can't see it.
If this its the case, install the update for go launcher. goto settings and manage apps and uninstall the program you're wanting. then go back to the market and get it again and it wont hide from you anymore.
I'm probably a mile off base, so onto the next suggestion if I am.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
I'm running stock OS. No changes. I am running ADW though. I went and cleared cache and removed updates for the Market. Odd....it says I purchased it even on the internet linked site so that leads me to believe it's my profile with Google.
Funny enough...I don't mind trying apps, but if I want it, I'll buy it. I wanted this app and was trying to pay for it and Puff the Magic Dragon showed up!! No app for you, come back...one year!
Try closing ADW and see if it shows up in the stock app drawer.
Did you remove your credit/debit card off your google wallet/checkout account? I did that once and had the same problem. Once i added and verified my mastercard, i was able to download again.
same problem here, (even) the (web) market thinks I've already bought the app and I can't buy it anymore
Im havimg the same problem. I cant purchase swiftkey, says on the apps page i purchased it, but when i click install it says i didnt purchase the app.
Many people are posting they have the same problem, but nobody is saying if they have tried the suggested fixes or not. ???

The Opposite
I get the opposite, Market tells me I purchased an app correctly then tells me when I ask to install it that I did not purchase it, lol
What a joke Market is
Got a reply from the android market people they said it's a known problem for some apps and are working on it

Thanks for a definitive answer. Not a fix for now but at least one hope.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm actually having the same issue, but it's with downloading ADWLauncher EX itself. The market website thinks I've purchased it, but I haven't. I sideloaded ADW first, to see how well it works. Deleted it, tried to purchase it, not working. Cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, everything. It has to be an issue with the market itself. So, yeah. Just a small confirmation.

Magic 2014 duels of the plainswalker

when i tried to download this app it said that it wasnt compatible with my device. however, i saw my buddy who has a nexus 10.1 tablet (dont know what its called)
how do i get this app on my phone. this app was the only reason i wanted an iphone 5.
i want to get the full version of the app. i dont mind paying for it but i need a way to access the apk
i've found some sites that are hosting the apk and data but i'd rather ask here to see if anyone has got it working on their device
i currently have the modded google play store, i dont know if that has something to do with my issue
I might be wrong when I say this, but assuming you're rooted you should be able to edit the build prop of your phone the "trick" the Play Store to think you have another phone. I'd advise waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about before trying what I'm saying.

Maybe the Nexus 7 isn't compatible either? See if you can change it to say the Nexus 10 (I'm pretty sure that'd be the name of the device your buddy has).

This was frustrating for me also on my G Pro but I could download it on my old Note.
This is the free apk I took from my Note. Once you launch it for the first time it will download the data which is over a gig.
Works great for me..I'll probably buy the full game.

New Google Apps from Nexus 5 Dump

Droid Life is posting the new google apps that came from a nexus 5 which is, as you know, running android 4.4 . I can confirm the new google launcher works after installing google search and google play. Im pretty sure most others should work fine on the X. Post if working or if not!:good:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/31/download-new-google-apps-from-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/#more-123662
So I have installed all of the leaked apps. The only one that did not work is the clock. I've cleared the data on the app but it didn't make a difference. In in the Verizon Moto X. Only other problem is email app is missing the exchange option for me.
Anyone else try these? Any workaround for the clock?

You need to be rooted and uninstall the clock app and reinstall the leaked apk from what I've read. Android police had a write up on it.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
I'm rooted, followed the directions, still couldn't get it to work. No biggie...the clock isn't all that different.
Wish we had the dialer!
Can you install the new launcher without being rooted? Or is that required for all of these leaked apps? Looked like it just said side load them...

Yes, you can install new launcher without being rooted. No, you can not install that new clock without root.
Basically you can install everything but clock

dont install the new google now if you like your voice activation i get crashes all the time now
Thanks Derek ross for the solution
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
also update your language pack in the settings as well.
Is the new dialer included in any of these yet?
