Problems with nexus 4 and font installer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am using cm10.2 nightly and everytime i use font installer for changing the font i end up reseting my phone everytime. what should i do

Dont trust the font installers. Check out the font thread in my signature. All of the fonts there are complete packs, flashable, and are always tested before releasing. Just download the one of your choice, boot into recovery, flash, reboot. If you cant find the font that youre looking for, feel free to request one and I'll try to make it when i have some time

MIUI change system fonts?

Any tool , reference how to change system fonts on MIUI?
Brgds,
S.
I had problems changing the fonts trough the theme manager, the new fonts didn't get applied.
I downloaded Font Changer from the Market and replaced the default Arial and Droid sans fonts with new fonts. Rebooted and that did the trick.
I don't know the reason but I think it may have been caused because the system used the droid sans fonts and theme manager only changed the default Arial fonts to the new ones. Anybody else had issues with changing fonts?

I also tried with font changer but cannot find any extra fonts ...
Where did you obtain new fonts ... i cannot find any
There's many places on the net you can find typefaces for font changer. They need to be .ttf format files. The font changer has information and help inside the app itself, look there...

Oh man.. Just use google, whatever works. Don't want to supply any direct links if there's any copyright issues and some. The MIUI.us forum has a whole thread on fonts and probably other MIUI forums too.
go to settings-personal-themes-edit theme-font-online font
and just download some new fonts there via MIUIs own online font selection

I tried this but seems that default fonts remains after applying new chosen fonts! Any ideas? I also tried to reboot after applying theme font but nothing happens.

I have a same problem with MIUIs font changer. The font seems to be stuck on default. And reboot, hot or cold, doesn't help.

Try the font changer application from market and replace the default arial AND droid sans fonts with the instructions provided in the application.. You can pull the font files from .mtz files by opening them on the computer with any package archiver.

I tried font changer but cannot put back default fonts after using it
I noticed too that resetting defaults didn't work. Here's a solution that worked for me.
Look with the file explorer in the sd card folder called 'fontchanger' and copy the backed up default fonts into the custom fonts selection and change with the application itself.

Have anyone figured a way to change the front WITHOUT additional apps, just using MIUIs built-it font changer? Since, well, we do have it already integrated to the ROM so no additional apps SHOULD be needed..

[GUIDE]How to setup 240 dpi on your rom

Hey everyone.
This is my first post in s3 section. I made a guide on how to setup 240 dpi on note 2 and I thought it would be a great idea since the requisites are available for both the phones.
UtkarshGupta said:
Hey everyone
This is my first guide so please be polite
In this guide I will show you how to setup 240dpi or possibly any dpi on your rom.
Links to all the requisites will be given below.
But what is dpi ?
It is the value that manages most ui of the system. a lower dpi means everything would be smaller hence more things could be fitted in the giant screen we have. a higher means everything would be larger hence less could be fitted into the screen
Before We Begin I Want To Clarify The Following-
1)First and foremost I am not responsible for any damage you cause.
2)I assume you have already rooted your phone and have some experience with rooting.
3)You have made backup to be sure that in case you mess up you you can return to what it was like before.
4)Read the whole post before actually starting.
5)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
So let's Begin-
1)Download and setup xposed framework (Very good instructions on how to do it in the thread) (You need to reboot).
2)Download these modules - xposed app settings , gappscrashfix , all apps in play store.
3)Enable all the 3 modules (You need to Reboot).
4)Now open xposed app settings and set open each app listed below and in dpi enter 320 but don't change anything else.
-calculator
-camera
-clock
-contacts
-dialer storage
-fm radio
-messaging
-task manager
-touchwiz home
-weather widget main
Now some of these could be skipped or some could be added(can be tested but imao that will make the ui ugly but still it's completely your choice).
Also modded versions of some of these apps has been provided by bala_gamer.
5)Before we begin copy the modded samsung keyboard from the link given or setup some other keyboard and make it default.
6)Now open /system/build.prop or use a build.prop editor if you are very conscious and change the following line "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
7)Now before we reboot we need to include apply one fix , so instead of rebooting , power off your phone
8)Then go into recovery and flash the modded samsung keyboard.
9)Reboot and enjoy 240dpi.
Note -
1)The stock keyboard will constantly force close on 240 dpi (if you use xposed settings to set it to 320dpi, you will be practically unable to use it), so bala_gamer(thank him) has customized it to work properly on 240 dpi.
2)Recovery must be custom (ofcourse ).
3)Be sure to flash the correct version of modded apps (i.e. 4.1.1 if you have it or 4.1.2 if you have that)
4)I don't know if gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore are actually required but nothing bad in using it.
5)I know the explanation of dpi is incorrect but that's all you need to know.
6)Installing xposed framework doesn't affect simplistic framework at all.
7)The gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore you download would be in .zip format. Just rename them to .apk and you can install it then.
8)Many apps especially the system ones or samsung ones aren't ment to scale well. They are just meant to look good at 320dpi so they will look way ugly at 240dpi. To fix this xposed settings is used. You need to set it for each app that you think is ugly.
9)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
Finally the links-
1)xposed framework - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (Link to modules page in his thread).
2)modded apps - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001577
And not to forget credits
-rovo89 for framework
-bala_gamer for modded apps
-numerous other people who helped me in some way or the other (please pm me if I forgot anyone).

That just modifies the DPI in build.prop. It does not make apps scale selectively. If I'm not mistaken, the Xposed FW is like what Paranoid Android has with its Hybrid engine, where you can selectively scale apps.

Correct but that will only do the step 6 of this guide if I am not wrong and most of the ui would be broken

If it's small then try roboto condensed or roboto bold condensed which HTC uses.

Download the fonts in the "download font" option that takes you to the Google Play Store.

@russcausier iFont is the best I've used.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont
I installed the following and was able to change the fonts with ease.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.flipfont.develop.clean
Once installed go to settings/display/fonts/font style. I'm currently running Clean_Pennition. Gloria M Stone has released a lot of great font packs so you should be able to find something you like.
Thanks guys the ifont used to work on older galaxy but now says root, I'll try other one but have found one that works with galaxy called hifont in play store

I was able to use that same font pack with no trouble on my S5.
I would however like to use my own truetype font files. Found several ways to package them into an apk, which puts them in the font list with preview, but when I select one it says it's not supported. Same issue using the XDA POWER FONTS package (I didn't try all 650 of them though).
iFont worked with the font I tested (downloaded using the app) if you don't have root, it downloads an apk and installs it so you can choose it from the font style menu, but the functions to use your own font are only available in the pay version. I might have to try that. The free version lets you download up to 3 per day which is great if the ones you want are there.
EDIT: yes! that worked! Best $1.93 I've spent this week. The iFont donate version worked with my ttf font. I selected it, chose the create apk option, and went and installed the APK and was able to select my font in the menu.

Custom fonts

Is there any working way to customize the fonts?
Ok I found a nice Magisk modulet hat allowed to edit the fonts.
Once you set a font through magisk you can use typeface or possibly another font app to change the system font. I use Typeface with a copy of my personal favorite font. Got mine system wide this way.

Font changer 3.0.0.3 in the module section of magisk
Sent from my 8 Pro using XDA Labs
Hello - not sure this is the right place, but I haven't mucked about with my phones in the past 4, 5 years (?)
I'm currently on the OP 8 Pro, and if the only thing I wanted to do was change the font to Google/Product Sans, is this the correct way to go about it?
1. unlock bootloader (wipes system, yes?)
2. boot (not flash) twrp
3. in twrp, flash magisk zip (magisk is new to me)
4. boot system
5. use magisk manager (install apk if necessary) to change font?
And if I somehow do everything right, does rooting these days cause any problems? I try to do everything on my phone/ipad pro now so I'd like to keep the following functional:
-fingerprint/s
-banking apps
Much obliged!

font changer is on revision right now. do you have a flashable zip to share?
One of the main reasons that I rooted my new OnePlus 8 Pro was so that I could change the font (to Bauhaus).
Now that Font Changer has been removed from Magisk, is there any other way to add fonts?
Is there any way font can be customised on oneplus 8pro?
I've been using fonts available by Tulsadiver in the Pixel 4 XL forums. I just use the template and add different font files to have more fonts.
I was using font changer as well, so might try something else...
