What font are you using for your V20? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

What font are you using for your V20 (whether a stock choice or added through Magisk or another installer)?
Currently testing various fonts, currently using One Plus Slate.

I prefer sans-serif fonts in which you can distinguish between an uppercase i and a lowercase L. On a stock-based ROM, I got Noto Sans Regular from the built-in LG SmartWorld app. On most of my other devices on LineageOS-based ROMs, I simply flashed the ZIP corresponding to Droid Sans in TWRP found in the huge flashable fonts thread. I have not used the Magisk way such as avFonts or MidnightCore yet.

[Q] Restoring Original Emoji?

Before rooting & flashing CM11, Swiftkey had the original LG emojis (which looking fairly close to the iPhone ones). However, after switching over to CM11 they have turned into the ugly Samsung emojis that look like all cartoony and are hard to differentiate. Is there any way to revert this or to install different emoji? Thanks so much.

Gapps?

Yeah so I've had my Nexus 6p for awhile and been running stock but I recently thought about rooting. Upon downloading a gapps package, I noticed they are not the same like they used to be previous to marshmallow. Anyone care to help me out on why or is there a more stock like package that will work on most current Roms that has most of the Google apps by default... Thanks in advance
Not sure why you need GApps to root your device, but anyway... Have you been looking at Open GApps? It's pretty much just a list of different packages for different uses by processor architecture & android version. If you want to choose which apps are installed select aroma. As you seem to want stock there's a selection for that or for 'full'.
I second Open Gapps, they're very flexible. I also second the confusion over what gapps has to do with root.
Guess I worded that wrong. The gapps wasn't for root bit for the custom ROM. I know I don't need gapps for root, I've been flashing for 3 to 4 years, and lately I've been on a stock kick. But that's probably about to change..

Fonts?

What are the default fonts available for the V20?
Are they the same as the ones on the V10 or other LG devices?
If not, will the old fonts work, or did LG change those too(I know the went off and changed the theme engine, and now hundreds of themes no longer work on the V20 or G5, and they wonder why they are losing money).
Roboto, LG SmartGothic, KindGothic, HyFriend,HyTravel and HYoyo are the stock fonts.
I flashed these fonts from the g4 and they a work also the g3 fonts work to.

Oreo Keyboard on Nougat?

We have had the latest unicode emojis forever without a working Samsung Keyboard and I'm tired of having to use Gboard. Now I see the lastest Oreo keyboards support the new unicode but it cant be installed on nougat despite being api level 24. All version 3+ and betas not installing as system apps or user apps for me on AQDG, can someone on the latest build see if they work?
Link to beta APKS here- https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=samsung+keyboard
EDIT: I downloaded the Oreo Beta roms and extracted those keyboards and got them to install, no new emojis in it.. I also swapped over the Noto/Samsungcoloremoji.tff and still no new emojis. Also tried swapping messaging app but no go, must be in the framework. Damn you Samsung!

FaceUnlock Questions

Is FaceUnlock connected to what version of Gapps you use? Or is FaceUnlock built into the ROM itself?
If it is connected to the ROM itself has anyone made a flashable module you can add to implement the feature to any ROM?
If it is connected to Gapps please recommend a Gapps that has FaceUnlock. I currently have tried FlameGapps and OpenGapps Nano which both of these packages didn't add it.
1- No.
2- Yes.
3- That's not possible because it's not a simple apk, some changes are needed in various parts of the system to make it work.
As far as I know, it is removed in android 10 so you wont find it in stock android and pixel phones. If you want to use it, you need to pick rom that supports it, for example oos based on android 10, rr, paranoid, treskmod (using right now, very cool rom). It is not possible to get it work in rom that doesnt support it (nor with xposed, magisk, apk, gapps, nothing).
