[Q] Samsung Note 3 messed up fonts - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
I recently seemed to have messed up my fonts somehow. Basically, whenever i change a font on my device, everything changes OK except for the clock on the status bar. The clock seems to have stuck to one font and will not change to the font you select. It used to work fine and i believe it happened to me before but somehow i managed to fix it.
My phone is rooted and i used an app called iFonts to install new fonts.
I don't know which font needs resetting (clockopia.ttf perhaps?) but i might benefit from a complete dump of the original fonts folder.
Does anybody have a clue on how to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance

Same problem here....
I have centered clock with Xblast. The font is the "Default" of the Font changer in Settings, regardless of the choosen general font.
And the new fonts politics of Samsung stinks. I've open a thread here....But this is another topic.

Resolved!

This issue has been resolved.
I uninstalled the xposed module "Wannam xposed" which seemed to have somehow interfere with the fonts. I since updated my note 3 through Kies and a new version of Wannam Xposed came out so i tried installing it again and it seems to work ok now.
hope this helps someone.

I've solved the issue by inconscient-indirect methods. I've had to reflash the Rom cause of boot loop with a mod, and then, suddenly the problem was solved....:victory:. But I'm not too sure how it made it....

Galaxy Note: Latest Hybrids

Guys, i've noticed that in the latest Paranoids (v0.5) based ROMs i can't set the density of lock screen to the desired default phone mod. Also notification bar is corrupted.
Is it a bug or i'm doin' something wrong?

Doesn't help me :-( Several reboots, manual setting (320dpi), default phone setting...still weird oversized both icons and fonts on lock screen. Also some notification icons oversized in notification bar (e.g. Avast).
I didn't have such problems with previous v.04a. Reflashing STaxxtanium (based on v5 afaik) - the same stuff.
n.b. the only wipes i do: cache and dalvik.

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.

[MOD] Lockscreen - Transparency

Hi,
Im running CM11 and i have xposed.
Thus far i cant find an 'easy fix' to remove the dark tint from my lock screen.
1. is there one?
2. if i have to manually modify an xml, which is it and where to find it?
I found one other request of the same nature but it was specific to a HTC handset.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
EDIT; so i found keyguard.xml in framework-res.apk /res/layout.
Pretty sure thats what i need?
Anyway to modify the apk on the fly or do i need to rebuild it then flash again with modified apk?
Really hoping theres an xposed mod ive missed.
=(

Try GravityBox Xposed module, in the lock screen settings I believe you can set the background opacity.

Hey thanks for the reply.
Got GB installed, tried that setting, didnt have any effect.
Pretty sure i need to edit the keyguard.xml in framework-res.apk but im not very practised in modifying APKs.

ZE552KL WW_14.2020.1703 update disable theme, need earlier SystemUI

Seems like theming is no longer possible on WW_14.2020.1703. All themes can't be downloaded, instead, it sends 'waiting' message that seems to last forever. Anyone experiencing this? If by any chance. SystemUI apk from earlier version of android N could be shared, preferably from 1701, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to go back to a theme that brings me closest to stock android quick setting appearance.

If you have rooted, just disable themes app, change the apk in system with an older version released at the end of last year, enable and wipe data. If app crashes, wipe theme app data, disable, reboot and enable.

Thanks, in that case I'll look for earlier version of zen theme apk.

Get the version released in November/December in apkmirror.com
I also tried to install compatible themes (according to developers description from Playstore) with Asus launcher but no luck. I don't have root. Is there another method without root access ?
I like Asus launcher but i hate his icons/notifications

Icon packs does a better job for that. You don't need themes. I prefer icon pqcks from Sourabh Gupta. He updates icons frequently and all his icon packs has 5700+ icons. His latest Android O Icon Pack is pretty awesome. It is paid though.

I'm afraid that's not possible without root unless Asus re-enable the option in future update. I think the transparency of quick setting might cause issue(s) with currently available themes. And you're right, quick setting with the rounded toggles and notifs, especially in lock screen, are painfully ugly.
Hi guys, there's a fresh post https://www.xda-developers.com/downgrade-an-app-android-no-root/ , anyone has successfully downgraded to earlier version of zenui with third party theme support?

LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC FONT--anyone have a special interest in fonts?

I am really missing a font that I used on my s5 with a pack called Fonts for FlipFont 50 Written
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.free.fifty.written
It was written Fonts 10. Several peeps complimented me on it, it was easily readable, and I used it for the past 4-5years. But now these font packages won't work on Nougat.
I did an online font search with a copy of the font, and found some similar, but not that actual one. I contacted the provider of this font pack, but not surprisingly they did not answer me.
I am wondering if anyone has suggestions in finding this font and then trying to figure a way to get it to work on my s8. It's like every available font I've found just doesn't cut it. I think I installed every monotype-imaging font I could find, but still nothing to be satisfied with. I'm using Helvetica Neue because it's clear, easy to read, but it's just not the same. :crying: Of all the customization that we can get, this is the one that I am truly having difficulty giving up.
My s5 crashed and so I can't print up a sample, but I might be able to find an old jpg of it, if that would help someone solve my problem.
Any suggestions (besides joining Fonts Anonymous)?!
Install the app from the store.
Pull apk from phone
Open apk with WinRAR
Your font is somewhere in there, but I'd give a go in /res.
Profit !
Yosemite SanFrancisco (iOS font)
I'm using Kabel which is nothing like what you're looking for but I like it. It does seem though, the only fonts we can install are pay ones. There is an app called foundation which is preventing free fonts from being installed.
I am wrong about the pay thing. I installed clean fonts and neat fonts. They are both free and have some legible but stylish fonts. Penelope is nice.

As mentioned try to find the .ttf or .otf file in the decompiled APK. There are several apps in the Play Store to install such fonts without root.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I'm working on locating the font within the known app. But anyone know which app could be used to install fonts in the galaxy s8 specifically, without root?
Most font apps I've found (and used in the past) only work up to the s5. Here's what jrummyapps had noted in his FontFix app
NOTE Samsung Devices on operating system Marshmallow (6.0.1) and later (Galaxy S6, S7, S8, Note 5) do not support installing free fonts from FontFix unless your device is rooted
That's why I posted this under s8, but I guess I may have a problem without root.
Yep, so far without root we're out of luck.
bummer, no specific ttf in apk

Had hoped to locate the font to use if I decide to root my phn, but every file in the apk is html except for Roboto-Light.ttf. But the font apk has 50 choices and the one I'm looking for is def not Roboto-Light. wth??? I guess the font pack just modifies Roboto? Make me :silly:
Maybe it's one of these?

Nope, but thanks anyway. I thanked indexmonkey for that post. I've looked at all the monotype imaging fonts on their site.
HATE the fact that I'm practically jonesing over that stupid font! But after not finding it in the original apk, I'm just about over it. B4 I go looney...
same thing here, i'm searching the font "sj secret", didn't find it
I found this apk on a Google search earlier and it works!!!! I attached a pic so you can see it does.

Used it on my rooted s6.
If anyone could convert it to flipfont....
