[Q] Hyperdrive update font difference? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I just updated to the newest version of Hyperdrive and am experiencing a weird font issue where certain menus have a white font on a white background making it next to impossible to use. I have tried changing the system font multiple times so I know it isn't a single font package that is causing the problem. I am attaching pictures that show the issue. Does anyone know if this is a setting messed up somewhere in the Hyperdrive Hub/ROM Toolbox Font installer or otherwise? I can't seem to find anything on it. Also this is not isolated to any one app although I did just take the screencaps from gmail.

Does anybody else get strange wallpaper resolution?

Hey guys,
I noticed something weird today and was wondering if anybody else had experienced it.
I was viewing wallpapers through my phone's browser and they looked fine. When I saved and applied them, however, they displayed incredibly strangely compared to how they looked in the browser.
The only way to describe it is transitions between colours have lines between them, like contours on a map. This doesn't happen with any of the default wallpapers so for comparison I downloaded our default rainbow wallpaper and when that's applied manually it also has these weird color transition lines. It's pretty ugly.
I tried transferring the wallpaper across from USB and it still had this effect.
Has anybody else experienced this? Everything displays fine in the browser but as soon as it's applied to a wallpaper it goes strange
I do!
sometimes i set a wallpaper and some time after it gets strange, like with some squares on all of the wallpaper.
No such problem. I change wallpapers very often, from various sources.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I've just found a solution for this on my HD2 running an Incredible S ROM and came across this thread whilst searching for the problem, thought I'd post here in case anybody is interested.
The HD2's screen has a color limitation, whilst the Legend's screen is AMOLED - both panels cause an image display problem known as color banding. As the OP described, it's when gradients appear chunky, "like contours on a map". For an example, see this image.
As I used to own a Legend, I was frustrated with how wallpaper images I applied would look like that - all except the stock HTC wallpapers. That's how I realised the fix for it.
If you're rooted, you can replace one of the standard HTC wallpapers in your ROM.zip's system/customize/resources folder. For example, I had a custom image I always used as my wallpaper that looked crap on my HD2. I replaced HTC_wallpaper_03.jpg in the folder I mentioned and, when applied through the default HTC Wallpaper options available from Sense's home screen menu, the image is dithered and looks perfectly smooth.
So if anybody else wants to smooth out a wallpaper you always use, just place it into your ROM's zip file and it'll be fine.
Hope that helps someone, someday.

Changing system icons

im currently working my way through replacing most of the stock icons, but im struggling with a few of them, most noteably the phone, email, navigation & maps icons that are present when you first boot the phone.
i just cant seem to find the exact png file for these even after rooting through the apk's.
i also want to change the text background to completely clear, anyone know where this particular file is located as well?
cheers

ICS small fonts in some apps

Anyone noticed how in ICS, some apps (I suspect its got something to do with the in built browser?) are rendering fonts small despite setting system fonts to large.
Examples include rdio, and national australia bank.
I tried changing the font size in system and font size (accessibility) in default browser, but nothing seems to affect certain apps like the ones above.
Anyone know of a fix, or found a DPI that doesn't break anything? reading old threads apparently changing DPI breaks things
I was hoping the fonts issue would be solved in ICS. System fonts are way too small such as under icons etc. It's slightly better in some apps that respond to the ICS changing font size option. User sk806 in the development section was working on this issue for HC but found it very complicated to change the font size at the system level.
Thats the bit I don't get: how do we fix the apps that don't obey the system setting? Must be some kind of built in library or browser.

[Q] Changes font on clock widgets

Has anyone noticed that the font is wrong on clock widgets like DashClock and Chronus? All the font choices in DashClock are the same system font. It's supposed to be the Jelly Bean large hour small minute look, but it sets itself to the system font automatically. Has anyone else noticed this and does anyone know a fix for this? When you go to add the widget, it shows the correct font.... but when it shows on screen, it goes back to the system default. Please help... it may seem small, but it's driving me nuts.
Really?
No one else has noticed this iisue?
Dusting this thread off. Gonna say I've noticed it too. So maybe it's a bug that hasn't been addressed?

Problem changing default lockscreen clock font

Hi guys,
I really don't like the ugly Samsung font on the lockscreen, so I want to change it. I know it's stored as the font Clock2017(L/R).ttf, so I just replaced this font by one I want (any Roboto type will do).
After a reboot this seems to work ok, except for one thing. It doesn't show a 1 behind the colon properly. Instead it's a `. So 13:13 looks like 13:`3 I didn't check all possible combo's yet, but I think it's only happening to a 1 right behind the colon.
I tried to replace the clock font with different fonts (Roboto regular, Roboto numbers, AndroidClock), but everytime the same bug appears.
Does anyone know how to solve this annoying problem?
Thanks!
I can confirm it's only the 1 after the colon. If I select the clock type were minutes are shown below hours (so no colon), there is no problem...
Anyone?
