Can you elaborate? Is there no font at all or is it in a language other than Chinese?

There is no font at all. the area that is suppose to have is all blank.

That's odd... I know KitKat has audio playback issues but the absence of soft text is new. Have you tried the basic troubleshooting tips such as uninstalling and reinstalling the app, checking to make sure all language packs are updated, including Google Pinyin Input? You can always try an OS downgrade if nothing seems to work. I would try to emulate but my tablet has had better days...

4.3 teething problems

Can anyone else confirm that the font installer either as an app on its own or within rom toolbox is not actually changing the font in the new 4.3....

I used to use ROM Toolbox, but it has become worse and worse imo. Changing fonts doesn`t work at all for me. Try iFont from Google Play to change fonts, works well for me.

That does not look like the Google Keyboard. Make sure you've switched to the Google Keyboard, not any other variant. The Google Keyboard layout is sightly different.

Samsung keyboard apk's can be found below.
You can probably use any 1.4x apk.
Make sure to set correct permissions on the apk afterwards.

In that case just go into app manager and Uninstall the version you have installed. It will ask if you wish to revert to the stock keyboard.
It wasn't possible to do that as the APK I used didn't replace the older one so that option was grayed, BTW I have fixed my issue and here is the process

How to change font on LEX727 with stock ROM?

Hi guys!
I am in Stock Rom 5.8.021s with Root/ULB/TWRP and want to change the font. Are there any pack/ flash zip to do this or just take any app from Gplay that can do this? I am coming from MIUI (Redmi 3s) and thats apps does not work fine on MIUI (just one works fine) and sometime lead to bootloop, so EUI and MIUI look like same, I fear to get bootloop. So, any app work fine for changing Font?
Thank! Q:highfive:
I used Ifont on the Google Play store to change the font. It didn't change just the launcher.. everything on the phone almost changed to the font I chose.

iOS emoji without root ?

Hey everyone,
A friend of mine just switched from iOS to Android and bought a Galaxy S8.
She doesn't like Samsung emoji and would like to get back her iOS emojis
I'm not going to root her phone (because don't want to trip her knox, void warranty and block OTA). So do you know a way to get iOS emojis without root ?
I heard that there is a way to do it with Substratum with the overlay "Status Bar icons for Samsung (+extras)". But I own this overlay and I can't find a way to enable iOS emoji.
So can anyone help me find a way to get iOS emojis on Galaxy S8 without root ?
Thanks
up ?

Not possible outside of specific apps that have their own emoji rendering like telegram. Changing system emojis globally requires root.
And yes I agree the Samsung emojis are terrible. My rom uses the Google 8.1 ones which I like much much better

You can install fonts without root. Download an ios 11 emoji font. There are apps in the playstore. Just go to your font settings and change it to the downloaded font. Reboot and you'll have ios11 emojis "systemwide"

Not compatible with Samsung Experience.
However, there is a way to do it with the substratum overlay "Status Bar Icons for Samsung (+extras)" id addition to the app called "Samsung Sans Font"
Full tutorial is available on the substratum overlay information/changelog document
But , we can change the navigation bar with an overlay apk and we cant do the same with emojis, i dont understand!!
Edit: After hours of searching i found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/fonts-wings-samsung-fonts-1200-root-t3710688
A simple way to get this would be to use Textra app for messaging. There are multiple styles to choose from including iOS and aside from emojis it's easily one of the best apps to use for messaging.

My God, it worked.
I used the second oreo option - with ADB and usb debugging - since the app used in the first is not for free
Found a Solution 100000% working
Download Afonts from playstore go to emojis it has ios emojis press download if it doesnt show you the install button down below I mean if u cant press download any letters font you want and then try again downloading the ios emoji font and it should show you the install button press it and go put it in your setting fonts ! It's .ttf and is the only .ttf that works!!! Only for 7.0. Nougat or 8.0 Oreo Unfortunately doesnt work on Lollipop 6.0.1 if I found for lollipop I will notice you bye
Thanks me later!!!!!!
It worked for me but it applies a generic font style for the alphabets, letters etc. Is it possible to use a specific font style for all characters and have the non-samsung emojis as well? For instance, Rosemary font with iOS emojis.
