How to install this font without root? It was very easy on Samsung phones, is it that difficult on oneplus?

I have been in contact with Samsung Customer service, UK, Spain and Poland... The thing is they are not able to give me an answer and in my opinion they are lost about this problem.
Main advertised apps/widget for the NotePro 12.2 are missing in UK, Spanish and Polish firmware. Do you have this apps available on your Magazine UX??
1. Weather and brief
2. Frequently used apps
3. S Note !!
4. Magazine favorites
5. Contacts
6. S Magazine bookmarks
7. Samsung hub...
I read several sites and forums, and the explanations given are devoted to the new agreement between Samsung and Google. Seems that Google wasn't too happy about the Mag UX.
May I ask you for your opinion about this??. Why the user always has to lose when it comes about benefit of multi-nationals?. I understand that every company will look for maximize their benefit, and we already paid a good amount of money for this tablet... but we should get (at least) an explanation or official information about why Samsung:
1 - Is delivering the new devices without all app/widgets available?. Or at least let people find it and install them.
2 - If the number of apps/widgets comes deliberately limited, why don't let us uninstall the Mag UX?.
I know if I spend some time following other threats I will be able to install other launchers, or root the Tablet and install more Mag UX apps..... the points is, I paid for a device that it should be ready to work/productivity ( see Ces2014 presentation of Samsung were they describe the meaning of Pro devices ).
Maybe instead of losing my time with Samsung Customer Service I should do what other NotePro users did, and customize my tablet by my own....
What is your opinion about this?
I installed Apex as my very first app, and as such Magazine UX is entirely irrelevant to me. I don't have access to it, nor do I feel the need to have 4-6 massive single-coloured blocks on my screen. Magazine UX is the worst thing to come to Touchwiz since Touchwiz itself.
If I wanted a screen that looks like Godzilla vomited Lego, I would've bought a Windows tablet.
I've disabled Samsung Hub, Weather Widget and most of the other bloatware, so I can't test either way.
Samsung isn't selling it with a clear text saying "We promise all these Apps". So there's not a single legal thing you can do about it. In fact, I'm fairly sure the promo video had a "Apps not available in every country" message somewhere in there.
Samsung is delivering the devices without all the bloatware because people asked for less bloatware. You can't have both. And because there are parts of the world, a great many, where copyright organisations are more powerful than the governments, and as such they simply can't. Most European countries beings amongst those.
As for why they don't let us uninstall it, for the same reason Google hid the developers options under a 7x tap. Because 99.99% of the users are complete technological retards who click on everything they can set their sights on, don't think it through and then blame Samsung(or Google) when something goes horribly wrong due to their own incompetent actions. Most of them are too stupid to link "Delete this Launcher section" to the consequential vanishing of said screen. Hell, most of them barely know what a launcher is to begin with.
Keep in mind that installing another launcher will disable Magazine UX.

Discovered by American mobile security specialists NowSecure, the SwiftKey keyboard that comes pre-installed with a number of Samsung Android devices allows easy access for hackers to attack.

I was just about to buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, however there does not appear to be any ROMS that allow Original (ASOP) Android to be installed. Apparently because the CPU Samsung use.
Are stock android ROMS ever going to become available ?
My SM-G925I does not comes with Swiftkey :/ But anyway I thought if you just update the Swiftkey in Play Store, it will be fixed?
I never had swiftkey on any of my galaxy devices I guess it's just one phone provider or more likely a journalist looking for a story

I believe it should be easy to fix. I cannot try because I have have Swiftkey preinstalled but I believe these are the methods you can try...
1. Update the Swiftkey to the one on Play Store.
2. Disable the Swiftkey application. I believe all non Samsung system applications and some of Samsung's system applications should be able to be disabled. Swiftkey shouldn't be a problem...
3. You are here on xda so chances you will be rooting your phone I assume? If you have root, you can just uninstall it.

Totally overblown vulnerability article today on Swiftkey. Firstly I seriously doubt 600M phones have it. I just checked 8 Samsung phones from various carriers - Sprint, Verizon, US cellular - S3, S4's, S5's, Note 2 and 3's and out of those 8 only one had Swiftkey on it. Easy to uninstall or Freeze if rooted. I take this as a punch back from someone on the Apple fan club finding a minor and hard to exploit vulnerability in android since Apple just got hit big in the last week or so. If you didn't find one of the articles detailing this exploit here's the skinny: It only can be exploited if you are on Wifi and on the same Hotspot or router as a would be hacker. That hacker needs to do some fairly complex stuff to spoof a Swiftkey server and your phone has to be trying to download a language pack update. I'd say there is about a 1 in 600 million chance of that happening
iSheep will find a way to blow things out of proportion to make samsung look bad
It's actually not the SwiftKey keyboard that has the vulnerability. SwiftKey have licensed some if their prediction technology to Samsung and it is actually the stock Sammy keyboard that can be exploited.
Yes. So, If I freeze or uninstall Samsung keyboard, vulnerability should be gone, right? I don't use that keyboard anyway.

Update: Samsung reached out to us to announce that it will soon patch the vulnerability through Knox. Read the full statement below:
Samsung takes emerging security threats very seriously. We are aware of the recent issue reported by several media outlets and are committed to providing the latest in mobile security. Samsung Knox has the capability to update the security policy of the phones, over-the-air, to invalidate any potential vulnerabilities caused by this issue. The security policy updates will begin rolling out in a few days. In addition to the security policy update, we are also working with SwiftKey to address potential risks going forward.

Hi there is already a fix posted by Samsung. You can go to lock screen security in settings then other security settings. Make sure it is on auto update.

do i get this Updates with a rootet phone?
Was looking for a list of apps that use Samsung's fingerprinting technology?
I know of Samsung pay, Lastpass, PayPal and Samsung's browser. What else?
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but the new Moto is more Google than ever. Is this part of the deal with Lenovo? To keep things as Google as possible? If so, I'm super excited.
Let me explain how I came to this conclusion.
I've owned all the Moto phones since Google acquired Motorola Mobility. All of them had some extra Moto apps, Moto Gallery, Messages, Alert, Migrate, Connect, E-Mail etc except this year. This year they were different. They removed all the apps except the Moto Camera and the Moto app (except the droids since they have the Verizon bloatware and Verizon launcher, the unlocked ones come with Google Now Launcher and Google Messenger). Now all the Moto phones have the same look as a Nexus with 2 - 3 extra additions that we know and love. If that is not enough to convince you, take a look at the design guidelines of their website, it looks like something made by Google. Same font, same writing style everything, just different logo. Still not convinced? Take a look at the new Moto logo on top of the fingerprint scanner, it's using Google's own custom font from the new android logo. The custom font was made for Google only. No other brand has the right to use this font, and it is not available anywhere. Google says on their android developer page that the custom font may not be used by anyone so that means Google has its designers take care of Moto.
What do you think? Does it all make sense now?
I would very much agree!
However, the true test of their relationship with Google will be how long it takes for us to get Nougat.
Hi all,
I just updated my nokia 6.1 plus to Android 10. So far it is very nice and faster than on pie.
Anyway, I am expecting that Android 10 will implement Product Sans on all area, not limited only at google maps, phone, fit, and other google developed apps. And yeah I am a little bit disappointed as nokia didn't use this font as default.
Then, is there any other way to install Product Sans font to the device, better if no root needed.
Thanks for your help :good:
Change font on Development mode

I get that option. But that's not what I am looking for.
I mean to change all the default font to Product Sans, similar to pixel devices.
Or is the Product Sans font only exclusive to pixel devices?

Yes. Product Sans is exclusively for Pixels.
But even Pixel's don't use Product Sans everywhere, Only in the System UI and Headline fonts.
