I often do not have my glasses and cannot read the screen without them. On WinMo there was a setting to change the default text size. Does such a setting exist in Android?
anyone? 10chars
There is a new app today in the market for *rooted* phones only, called Font Size.
It is still in beta and you'll need to have a good backup first in case of problems. I am running a rooted Nexus one and although it rebooted twice in a row after installation, it now works perfectly.
If you are running a rom with spares parts you can change it with that.

sms text size works pretty good, its free and in the market
Or if your rooted and feel comfortable changing things. You can go into the build file ( which is a text file you can view through ES File Explorer and give the App super user abilities ( which you HAVE to change in the settings of the app as when the app boots it's already given those permissions. You need to give it permission to overwrite files ) Go to the System Folder which is located on the phone not the SD Card. Once viewing the build file.. in the middle of the text file you'll see 160 DPI is the default value, just under that are two values ( both stock at 160 ) and you change those. If you go to 180 everything on the phone becomes bigger or 140 and things become smaller ( Apps, text, everything ) then follows the instructions after which is to reboot the phone...all settings will take place.
Just do NOT change anything else in the build file.
font size
How do i get to the build file? is it in an app or in my 4G.

Hi,
Found the build file and changed from 160 DPI to 180 DPI but when I reboot it does not overwrite the change. How do I get the change to stick.

Attach your build.prop here and I'll take a look at it.
You might need to rename it to .txt or put it in a .zip

How are you editing build.prop?
Also your rom must support DPI changes, not all of them do, which rom is this?
Once you change that number it should NOT get overwritten.
Spare parts will change menu font size, but won't stick after your screen rotates. If you have rotation off you should be fine. Otherwise the CM community is trying to get that option in spare parts to work, but it's not cooperating. Editing build.prop is probably the best bet.
ROM??? this is way out of my league. I tried spare parts but was unclear how to increase fonts. it seemed to only increase font in one menu screen.
not sure how to attach build prop.
DPI changes not just the font, but everything, like if your font gets bigger, so do your icons, menus, etc. That does work if you want that result. If you want to change ONLY your system font size and nothing else, you can go read this info, and change it this way:

If you're running CM7 there should be an option for changing contact text size. I've never used it, but I know it's there.
You should also be asking this in their forum btw

Doesn't anybody else think it's pretty bad this option isn't available by default on Android? Not everybody wants to root their phones. Not everybody knows a 3rd party app for this exists (and it doesn't even seem to work globally for all text to begin with).
Definite downside, in my opinion.

Talk to or email google about it. Actually, I believe there's a request for it somewhere on the aosp features page (something like that) you can star the issue and try to get more people to join it. Maybe google will look into it...
At least that's a better option than wishing constantly and not taking action

Use Spare Parts named app from market. It can directly make bigger your all fonts + no root.

Ive just installed the tool LCDDensity from Market
Ive tested 160dpi, 200dpi and 280dpi... with the app, and 192dpi manually... why 192 ? its 480/2.5
The 160dpi is buggy (status bar), and 280 make all fonts biggers.... but... 200dpi... its amazing, its like a new phone ! all seems more clear and scrolling faster...
Please see the screen shot and give it a try...
BUT, there is a but... The Phone App (when you click on Phone icon) in my 3.4.2-164 will auto close in 160 and 200dpi. All others apps are working, Contacts, SMS, market and Browser
So, i need to find an alternative (working) Phone app... Where could i find that ?
EDIT: In fact phone app is working if you use the missed call notification in status... Only the first tab "Dialer" will close the app, but you can use Contact list... or Recent List and its working..
to set the setting permanent on reboot :
edit /data/local.prop and add
Code:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=192
Warning: dont change in local.prop the similar ro.sf.lcddensity which will not works
Also 100dpi will not works (in fact, just prevent the screen init, your phone is running without screen)

Great Dialer.
180dpi is looking good too, only a small "pixel" is missing in menus font tried to reinstall BlurDialer and now app is missing ://
dpi setting is not saved on reboot with LCDDensity
I've found the best setting to be 200. Dialer still works with mine.

192 is ok for menu fonts
the app is fine but it's not only the stock dialer, CalWidget also bugs with it
For me, editing data/local.prop is not a permanent change. However, editing system/build.prop is persistent across reboots.
My stock dialer works fine.
184 dpi also works (better than 180)
i don't even see ANY difference?
If you do not see any difference, perhaps you are not editing the right file. If it is the right file, you may have mis-typed something.
Note that you would have to reboot your system before the file is parsed/the new settings are used.
i edited nothing, just used the app
Then I suggest you contact the author of the application or read any info/documentation provided about the application.
This thread is not about that app, but about making a manual change, to a system file.
Best of luck.
What does this do exactly ? Is everything smaller ? Bigger ? Easier to read ?

You can find the new Roboto font here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309619
I recommend that if you're not going to install the font yourself using a file manager, don't use the flashable version -viperboy- has provided. Instead use the one mackster248 has posted in the 5th post under this one.
There you will also find the /system and /system/apps folders, but for now they're not very usable. They currently can't be deodexed with current tools.
On a side note, for those using a file manager to change fonts, here are some general instructions:
1. Ensuring you have R/W permissions to edit system files, copy the Roboto family of fonts into the /system/fonts folder.
2. Keep backups of your current fonts you plan on replacing (DroidSans family) by renaming their file types to .orig (For example, DroidSans.ttf becomes DroidSains.orig).
3. Change the fonts you plan on using into the names of the fonts you just changed to the .orig file type (Roboto-Regular.ttf becomes DroidSans.ttf).
4. Make sure to change the permissions of each font to rw-r--r-- once you've renamed them. if you don't know what I mean by that, make the permissions identical to the other fonts found in the folder.
5. Restart.
Be careful when doing this, if you do it incorrectly, you'll be stuck in a bootloop and will have enter the recovery to re-install the ROM to replace the system files again.
Thanks! I installed the replacement fonts after taking a suitable backup, just in case. It replaces three fonts in /system/fonts: Clocktopia.ttf, DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. I think the difference is subtle on a per-character basis but taken together, I find it more easily readable. I did a side-by-side comparison and found that the characters in some cases are a little bit larger.

No problem. I'm really big into typography and I'm really enjoying this font. Windows Phone 7's font Segoe comes in a close second though, and I wish I could find a usable version of Nokia Pure.

The differences are many, but all mostly subtle. I worked for a newspaper and page design/typography grew on me a lot so I notice the little things.
If you're not that much into typography, I can't blame you, it wouldn't appear much has changed.

You make a good point, but like myself, there are those who know they don't need to install another app when their familiar with use file managers to change system files.
For someone who is familiar and confident with how to do it themselves, the steps should take no more than 2 minutes, that doesn't like much work to me.

Agreed. That's how I learned all of this back in the G1 days. Which was either commands via Terminal or switching out files via Root Explorer, so I never even knew there were apps that do all of those things for you these days.

I might be missing something here but I can't apply a wallpaper without it being either bad quality (even with a high quality image) or misc. launchers and apps. I am running CM7.
I have the same problem, and also the wallpaper keeps changing to the wallpaper from the lock screen. I'm sure there's a solution posted somewhere.
I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do this, but I used the Kindle Fire Utility. Under "Extras", there's an option to lock or unlock the wallpaper. Unlock the wallpaper, make your change, and then lock it again. Mine hasn't changed since.
I think the quality problem has something to do with how the device is scaling the image if it's not the correct resolution.
I found that it's very hard to get a wallpaper to look good in both landscape and portrait view depending on the resolution. This is unfortunate because I have a ton of wallpapers that would look great on the kindle but they just don't display right.
Having issues with this myself...tried the lock / unlock..no luck.

As far as I know, the accepted method for properly setting wallpapers (on Android in general) is to use an app such as Wallpaper Set And Save from the market. It'll set the wallpaper at the original image quality.
I always use Wallpaper Wizardri to set my wallpapers......but with this postiive comes a negative....for some reason it constantly runs in the background. I just use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze it and unfreeze it whenever I need to change wallpapers. Works like a charm.

Downloaded this app and tried it out and it doesnt work. The wallpaper is still very blurry. Looks nothing like the image i selected for the wallpaper.
To change the wallpaper on your kindle and make it "stick", do the following:
Set your wallpaper
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to data/data/com.Android.settings/files/wallpaper
Long press on wallpaper, select permissions from the menu that drops down.
Uncheck the "write" permission for all users then click OK.

I assume you are rooted...what file explorer are you using?
I use ES File Explorer 1.6.1.0 from the Market (not Amazon because last I checked they were a version or two behind)
Then go into settings a scroll to bottom and select ROOT EXPLORER and when asked I think I selected the CM option (and for good measure select MOUNT FILE SYSTEM, although I don't think that is required unless you are working in the /system/ folder).
Now you should see the contents of the /data/ folder...
Hope this helps.

This is on the stock ROM (using Go Launcher EX).

Download Wallbase. It's a wallpaper app that I've had excellent results with. Not everything out there will work with tablets. This one does and has TONS of wallpapers in it, HD, and just about all of them look like they were made for tablets.
By the way, the mod that was given earlier regarding how to keep your wallpaper from changing WORKS.

Roboto-Regular is the most used font in your Android system.
So by replacing that, the biggest part of Android will display your custom font.
But to make the whole system in your desired font, replace the whole font folder with your custom font, but I don't encourage that, because it can look weird on some places.
Hope this helped you

Well, that's the main one. Only thing to be wary about is when .TTF fonts have a typeface parameter in them. When I was moving regular to light, I thought moving bold to regular would look better with it. It bootlooped. Don't mix bold, italics, and normals.
TL;\DR bold fonts must be replaced with bold if you fancy changing it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's kind of annoying that I have to manually replace each individual part, but yeah, I've replaced each of the Roboto fonts. I've actually gone so far as to also replace Light and Thin as well. Unfortunately, I don't have a working bold replacement at the moment, but only a few things really use that, so it's not really bad.
Replacing the ENTIRE font folder is a bad idea though. I'm not going to do that. It would mess some things up. I've done that before and ended up with boot loops -- and I'm pretty sure that was still with bold only font replacing bold only fonts, italic only replacing italic only, and etc at the time (I was using a different font at the time compared to what I'm using now.) My general impression is that certain fonts may have to have something specific or not be larger than some maximum (very small) size.

Yeah, except for some odd reason ES File Manager is having troubles (I think it's not automatically remounting /system as read-write instead of the read-only default.) I just do it all in a terminal now. Usually I get lazy about it and do it via PuTTY (Servers Ultimate Pro can run a SSH/SFTP server, so I can do basically everything the adb server can do, only through a much nicer and more reliable interface than that horrible adb is that actually works over the network -- somehow adb over the network always gives me troubles...)
BTW, if anyone is curious, I'm using TitiliumText22L Light. It's a serif font, so not for everyone, but it's a very clean, thin font that's easy to read even in small sizes and to my eyes just looks amazing on a tablet or phone (oddly enough, I don't like it nearly as much on the PC... I'm guessing it's because they are such high DPIs that it's actually a much larger size on the tablets/phones and has a lot more detail since most PC monitors are around 96-ish.)
I have ifont donate version and I have always used it to change my fonts. I've always stuck to the preloaded fonts within the app but I've started playing g around with the custom ones by just searching them on google and downloading them to my phone, saving to custom folder in ifont, and then applying the custom font. Well I've used a few without any issues, until the other day when I applied one and ended up bricking my phone. So my question is can someone give me kind of a walk through on what the best settings to use are, and what to do and what not to do kind of thing. Under settings you can change the font mode (which is on auto automatically) to different things like Samsung, miui, recovery, and system mode (requires root). Would it be better to leave it on auto or change it to system mode? Also, when you go into the custom screen to add a custom font directly from your storage instead of adding it to the custom folder and applying it that way, there's a little button on the top right where you can change it to a ttf. What does that do and should I do it? How does a font brick a phone and how can you avoid it, or is it just sort of a gamble with every font? I am just trying to learn as much as I can so I know how to avoid getting bricked again. I am terrified to change it now but I miss my custom font =[ thank you in advance for the advice.

Sorry the button says "ttf to apk" could someone break that down? Would that be something I would want to do? And also I just realized I have another problem. For some reason my ifont folder doesn't contain a "custom" folder this time around..

not familiar with the app but I'll give you a couple tidbits. ttf = true type font, these are the kinds of fonts windows uses, and I'm sure most anything these days. FontName.ttf
there are other kinds and so that button would change it to ttf format, which is likely what the phone needs.
as for the system mode, since it requires root, I assume what it's going to do is copy the fonts to the /system/fonts folder for you, which sounds like the best idea to me assuming you have root. I don't see how a font program could brick your phone, the only thing it should be doing is copying files to and from the /system/fonts folder, which shouldn't harm anything.
So, make sure you are using .ttf fonts, and if not use the tool to convert them, and I would tell it to use the system(root) mode if you have root.

Oh ok, that clears it up a little bit about the ttf. So if I download a font from my browser and it is already a. Ttf then there's no reason to have to change it in the ifont app. Unless it is a different format then. Ttf.
However, I know that the font program is capable of bricking phones because it happened to me just last week. I wasn't aware that could happen either until it happened. Haha. And in my findings trying to research it, it's actually pretty common and happens a lot. I guess that when you change a font to anything that isn't a system font that comes stock on the phone there is a potential for something to go wrong because it changes around some of the system files so if the tiniest thing is wrong or it isn't compatible in some way it can happen. I don't know what happened with mine, I know the one I installed was a .ttf and it wasn't anything big or bulky or anything too crazy so I have no idea what went wrong. I'm just staying away from that font now.
What I'm really just trying to figure out is whether there is really any way to avoid it happening or to tell whether it would be compatible or not, or if it's really just a gamble and a chance of luck.
