Custom Fonts On Verizon Version - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Has anybody figured out a way to put custom fonts on their V20 yet? I've tried a few of the random apps on the play store but none of them worked. I know this usually requires root which is pretty lame. Android advertises about how its cool because you can customize your phone to your liking but you can't pick your own font....ironic? What ever happened to just having a FONT folder on your SD CARD and you put whatever .ttf you want and the phone can use it? Guess that's asking too much....thanks Google!

That's not what was asked. This person has font files already that they'd like to use.
My advice is to download go launcher z. It allows u to use any font on your device.
I hope this helps.

[Q] Anyway to get the my-water live wallpaper working?

I was wondering if anyone has this live wallpaper working on the a500. I saw its available in one of the roms but I just bought my tablet yesterday and haven't got to that point yet. Anyone know where I can find a working version of this?

I don't use the my-water wallpaper but do use the Asus weather widget. There is a post in the Xoom forums (I believe thats where I got it) that has a download link for 2 versions of the my-water and weather apk; I had to use the signed one to make it work the other is unsigned. Hope it helps.

I already tried that one that was posted on droid-life, the stock kernel one and after installing it, it didn't even show up in my available live wallpapers. Is that the one you were talking about?
The link I posted from xda works fine for me.

I'm rooted so don't know if it will work without. I believe it should though. I used ES File explorer: just navigate to where you downloaded/dropbox etc. and click it. I had to use the 'signed' version but it works no problem. Good Luck- hope it helps.
Okay thanks...ill try when I get off work. I probably should just root, as it looks pretty easy.

It should work without root - though I could only speak to the one I downloaded - I also got the Asus Weather widget installed as well, as I understand it, it was signed.
I don't use the Live Wallpaper anymore because I really didn't enjoy it as a background but I do recall it working fine.
I got it to work. I used the signed one. I did root beforehand so not sure if that mattered or not but glad its working

Custom boot animations?

I was wondering if there are any custom boot animations that would work well with this device? I can't seem to find any.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Most phone and tablet Boot Animations will work on here, just make sure you put them in the right folder. You can look around in other tablet threads and get them from there if you like. If it's a boot animation from a phone it will only fill up the center part of the screen, but it still looks fine that way in my opinion.
RomToolbox also has a decent collection of Tablet and Nontablet BAs if you want to check that out too. Don't know if you need the paid version or not for those though.

No problem, glad to help
They will, but depending on the way it was made it might get cut off on the edges. You can actually edit the text file in the bootanimation.zip to do a rudimentary resize for the N7 but you can find those instructions in a different thread.
To install a custom one though, just download whichever one you want, rename it "bootanimation.zip" and replace the one in the system/media folder on the root of your phone. When you restart it'll play.
If any of that was unclear let me know and I'll explain it differently. I have a tendency to talk a lot and confuse people lol

Can we assume you don't want to go all in and install TWRP and a ROM like Cleanrom 1.1? Do you want to keep it completely stock, just with root?
Since you're rooted, I would at least remove the so-called bloat apps put there by the carrier by using a script that will remove it. That would be found in the development section of the G2 forum.
Better yet would be to install TWRP and then go for CleanROM 1.1 which does the debloating and much more.
In addition, there are a few UI tweaks that are nice and can be found around the forums. I suggest poking around these forums while it's still small and seeing what might strike your fancy.
To recap:
1. Root
2. TWRP --> then good idea to backup
3. CleanROM 1.1 or at least a debloat script which will remove junky carrier apps
4. Remove softkeys
5. Tweak UI stuff ( remove brightness slider/volume slider/shrink notifications/navigations/ that sort of thing ) -- search forums for the tweaks you like
6. Turn off Carrier IQ -- there is a thread for G2 that shows how
7. Xposed Framework -- not totally necessary at this stage but why not take a look, eh?
For myself, the first six are a must. But, the first five I recommend since you already turned to the dark side by getting rooted. :highfive:
If any of this is too vague please read some basics, do some googling, then ask some questions in the appropriate sections of the forums.
Good luck and have fun!

Hi everyone,
Just got my G2, D802 today. It got released in India, the country I belong to, today. The phone is brilliant, no doubt about that. The first few things negatives I have experienced in the first couple of hours of use are:
1. The phone earpiece is not up to the standards of a flagship, its week.
2. The same has to be said about the phone speakerphone.
I'd love to hear the experience of everyone else using the device.
I'd like to root the device & get rid of the bloatware as well.

Congrats for the phone, where did you purchase it from? which model 16/32 and how much did you pay for the same? What Bloatware are you talking about? can you name few, since it is a international variant and not carrier specific, i wonder what bloatware could be added.

Hi Buddy,
I am from Durgapur, West Bengal. Purchased the phone from the Distributor directly who billed the phone to one of his dealers who in turn billed the phone to me. The phone is 32GB Version. I paid INR.42300.00
By Bloatware I mean the unwanted features/apps for me like the LG Smart World app, Slide Aside feature & then the QSlide feature. I want a minimal ROM on my phone so that I can enjoy maximum free RAM & system resources which are you know eaten up by these apps & features.
5. Tweak UI stuff ( remove brightness slider/volume slider/shrink notifications/navigations/ that sort of thing ) -- search forums for the tweaks you like

That... Is a brilliant idea. Hm, can't find on store. Is it an xposed mod, or just an app? I don't want to flash anything..
Edit: All I find on Play store is this, but is there really no option to run it from the bottom edge? Guess I'll give it a shot.

Not interested in other launchers though. I went with Auto Hide Soft Keys. Seems to work fine.
Problem is that when I'm using Pie Control there's a delay for when I hit something. Like just going back, and it takes like... 0.5-1 second before it respons. Is this a bug or something that everyone has?

Fonts issue

The first thing I do when buying a new Samsung phone is install my favourite font (SEGOE UI) as I like thin fonts and I'm not a fan of the heavy default font, (don't get me started on the ridiculous Choco Cooky and the others that Samsung offer) But the S7 is having none of it, saying all my 3rd party fonts are incompatible.
It's not a Marshmallow issue as far as I know as my S6 Edge+ is running MM and allows font apk installation.
Apps found on the Play Store that used to install fonts without root are all broken too. The only way to get more fonts is through Samsung's own app store and they are limited, expensive and mostly rubbish. I am after a lightweight standard font.

Yeah, I understand that root would solve the issue but I am not planning on rooting the S7 as I want to try out Samsung Pay when it reaches the UK. I just don't understand why installing fonts has suddenly become an issue when it was fine on all my previous Sammy devices.

I appreciate your help. Sadly I have tried all the installation modes and none of them work in iFont. It recommends root. So it looks like Samsung is only accepting fonts purchased in their app store. The vast majority of fonts in the app store are in Korean and all cost £1 each. So I guess I am stuck.

Just another way for them to make money. It sucks that they don't us to change the font unless we purchase it. I also dislike that they took away the stock music player. You are forced to use the Google Play Music Player.

We're also having the problem with the S6 on Marshmallow too. The thing is, if you upgraded from Lollipop, your custom fonts that were already installed work, but if you do a clean install... same as described here.

Yes, you are correct. My custom font held when I upgraded my S6 Edge+ to Marshmallow, until I was forced to do a factory reset. I realised that I could no longer install the font without rooting
.
Hi. I'm also not rooted. I contacted Samsung and they said its definitely due to the marshmallow update and it's down to the developer of the font to update the font so we can use them from the play store. I contacted one developer for flip font but had no reply yet. So seems we have to pester them.
I basically killed my battery trying to get something to work last week LOL I know there was this issue with my S5 for awhile, then the font app developers updated something and I was able to install 3rd party fonts. Hopefully they'll update again so we can install whatever font we want. Since I'm on AT&T I doubt we'll have root.

I am positive this is not a marshmallow issue. I have a Note5 and have been facing the issue since the lollipop days. it was triggered by a software update in Jan '16, and ever since no third party fonts seem to work. I have tried every possible way, but without root, it is impossible.
Thanks. This is what Samsung told me. Obviously fobbing the blame elsewhere. I'm no developer. I wish there were more fonts available on the galaxy app store. Bit there's been nothing new in the past 2 weeks. Unless it's Korean. Hope someone on this site has an answer apart from root.
Slim Chance of getting free fonts
I am one of the free font developers and Samsung, and their partnership with Monotype, caused this issue. The code in the Marshmallow FlipFont program will only allow you to apply fonts that come from applications signed with a certain signature (i.e. apps that are owned and built by Monotype Imaging). Until there is a super sneaking work-around, there is really no chance for a free app to work on a stock Marshmallow phone.
It is funny (as a developer of free fonts) that Samsung is pointing the users to me to fix the issue... when they know that code was changed to prohibit free fonts being installed on Marshmallow devices.
I'm currently working on a quick fix to apply free fonts... but the prospect is not good. Sorry all :crying:
Please load these fonts on app store

Dark theme

Is there any possible way to get a dark theme to work on a OnePlus 5 with the pure Fusion OS?
Have you thought about installing Substratum?
It's available in the Google Playstore and has dozens of themes, many of them being dark.

Make sure you match up your Android version, there are flsdhable zips in the substratum folder should something go wrong, flash individually via TWRP.
Certain things I don't theme, like the play store, can go wrong, use titanium to remove the substratum APK which removes individual themes.
Let me know if you get stuck.
Thanks man I got it working.. finally got rid of that bright in settings. Lol
Also those flashable Zips I found them but one says Legacy and one says just Android or something like that I don't really know the difference. guess I could Google it.

I just flash one after another and it always works. :good:
Okay thanks. I haven't had any issues yet. One overlay didn't take. So I just disabled it and it went right back to normal. I do have one question though if the app updates through Google Play do I have to reapply it,?
