[Q] [REQ] Droid Sans

Has anyone packaged it into an .apk for us to install? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Or is there another way to get it back onto my phone after flashing a ROM with a custom font?

The above font is slightly modified (modified as in added few Indian language scripts. Found it as an attachment to a thread requesting Indic language support. Might help.
The font is named "Droid Sans Fallback".

And i just drop the .ttf in /system/fonts ?

Yes - you will need root access for that though. Also, I suggest you make a copy of the file already in there.
And of course, people say we need a reboot - pre WIndows ME style.

I just renamed the one already in there to DroidSansFalback.ttf.bak and then pasted the one you linked to. Did a reboot, but nothing's changed.
This is on Clean Fusion V3, if it matters.

[APP] Stock/System 2.3.5 Keyboard App That supports Greek/Eng Keyboard + Dictionary

Hello all,
I recently became a U8800 owner and I decided to flash it with the latest MIUI ROM, only to find out that their stock Android keyboard does not yet support text prediction in Greek or Greek keyboard at all. Since I didn't want to install a third-party Greek IME from the market, I decided to inject a Greek dictionary found in a previous CM Release plus a Greek keyboard supporting existing LatinIME.apk (from htc devs on a stock 2.3.5 keyboard apk).
It should work on all devices/ROMs, but you can try and share your results.
I also removed all other dictionaries exept english / greek to make it light.
How to install:
1. Navigate to /system/app using Root Explorer and copy/rename your existing LatinIME.apk to a backup folder in your SD card (just to be sure, should things go wrong).
2. Use Root Explorer to mount /system/app as R/W and then paste the new LatinIME.apk inside this folder. Change the file's permissions to rw-r--r-- after pasting.
3. Reboot your device and go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Android Keyboard > Input Languages. Under Greek, it should now say "Dictionary available".

It wokrs correctly on HD2 with Xperia v42 ROM
Thanks

Nice to hear that it works ok.
It works also 100% on my Ideos x5

please reup to somewhere else! will test it on x10 2.3.4 with android keyboard running donut hd rom

Hi ! It's a good news, since I'm seeking how to do the same for the French language since a ROM i flashed my Wildfire S with doesn't support spell check or prediction for it.
Yet, I'm fairly new to the modding scene (my previous phone was a an LG oldie...) and don't know how all of this works, so could you please elaborate ?
Do you mean I should try and retrieve HTC_IME.apk (I'm guessing it's the equivalent of LATIN_IME.apk, but for HTC...) from the stock 2.3.5 ROM and replace the current crappy one with it ? Are the dictionaries contained in the apk ? If not, where will I find the French dictionary ?
Thanks for reading me, I hope you can help.
I would gladly click the "thank you" button for your OP, but I can't seem to see it...
So here goes the old-fashioned way : Thanks !

Yeah I stumbled upon this same folder en.us in usr/ and it's purely useless (in regard of our problem) as far as I can tell...
But I found a way to get it back and working. It's basically the same procedure, but for HTC. I just posted it, I hope it'll help others as well :

[HELP]Implement new languages to ROM. Donation availalbe

Hi guys,
Recently I bought couple of MTK based Smartphones from China, but I didn't realise they are coming with Chinese and English only. I have the language files that I want to import, but I am not sure how exactly I am supposed to include them into the ROM. I believe that I need to decompile, add the new language files and compile the ROM again, but I am not exactly sure how. I do not want to download already compiled multilanguage roms, but do one on my own, keeping all the original software that comes with the phones and only including couple of additional languages.
I am willing to make a small donation to the one who takes the time to explain everything to me step by step
Thanks in advance.

if I got you right, then first try to implement your language readability. for this:
1) copy your language font into /fonts directory
2) add font entry into /etc/fallback_fonts.xml
...(see already present lines of code to get an idea)
3) restart your phone
4) open a web page in your language to see if it is readable.

Emoji switcher

Anyone have an ideal why emoji switcher isn't working with my Samsung s7 rooted? Can't get it to work. I want to install emoji one style.
Thx an advance. I'm sorry I'm French btw.

Tried that too without success. Not sure wether it was working on my S6, I don't recall.
Probably because of touchwiz, we should hope for an update I guess.

Not of a fan of touchwiz emoji's, prefert the aosp ones.

From the information i skimmed through, it doesn't work on samsung phones, but what i did was just download the emoji font file, and replace the samsung one, there should be a lot of info on this if you just search for it.

Thank you! It working!

Just found out, when I install the emoji one style from they site, the font have a weird issue. My keyboard show the good emoji but there is a bug with words. There have no space between word in text or anything else. Any ideal?

If you want to change emojis you need to get replace 1 file.
"SamsungEmoji.ttf" I think, then reboot. Just download like AOSP emoji and rename it to SamsungEmoji and put it in to /system/fonts

It was "SamsungColorEmoji.ttf" in my S7, worked great. Thanks!

Can this download and renaming in /system/fonts be done without root?

Nope, it's in the root directory, so you'd need root to access it.

Can new emojis only show up if you send them to other Galaxy S7 phones? What happens when you send them to other phones?
When I used Galaxy S7 emoji file to replace my Galaxy S5 emoji file, all the emojis previously present on Galaxy S5/S6 correctly show up but mot the new ones.
Does that mean that additional font files are needed to display them correctly, in addition to renaming the emoji file from Galaxy S7 from SamsungColorEmoji.ttf to NotoColorEmoji.ttf on Galaxy S5/S6?

I replace the font with this one, got back Google's Emojis on the S7

Yes I'm on global ROM as well. I followed the steps and it will work.

Thank you very much, I am going to try it since I only like the font that comes by default. Let's see if I can get it ... Greetings

One last question, can you install as many fonts as you want by this method? and preserves the font that comes by default or replaces it with the new one?. Thank you

Did you watch the video ? The video answers your question. It will add another new font. It will not replace it. You can add as many as you want

Thanks again, I have seen the video, but since I do not understand the language in which it is explained, I was a little doubtful about the questions. Now I think I have it clear. regards

It does not work for me, I do everything according to the tutorial but when I get to the Chinese directory I do not see the new file with the numbers, only the 4key itz that I put. I have used version 5.1.1.6 of the I Themes that I believe is the current one, not the 4.0.0.1 that comes in the video. Could that be why? Thank you
