[Q] Change default keyboard in ROM xml - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I am making my own Sense ROM, and I was wondering how I can change the default keyboard (default is HTC IME) to another keyboard set on boot.
I think it's in one of the xml's files, but where exactly?

help editing deskclock app

I'm trying to edit the DeskClock app to change the android font for the time and change the music shortcut (when docked) from the default app to mixzing. So far I've been able to successfully change the font (just overwrote the original clockopia.ttf with a renamed tahoma bold ttf) but when I open the regular clock app the time on the bottom gets cut off.
If anyone would be so kind to help, I'm looking to get the font size changed for the time at the bottom of the page and replace the shortcut for the music when docked to mixzing (com.mixzing.basic.apk)
Thank you very much.
For the font size you'll need to change the layout xml... however you might find that the xml using a variable parsed from another function. In that case you'll need to identify the function and change the java code. I've not looked at the app but suspect an xml change will be sufficient.
As for the shortcut, that will almost certainly require java changes... if you don't know how to code this then that might be a little difficult for you... you'll be looking for an assembler file (.smali) for this.

[Q] Change Exchange email font?

Am aware system fonts can be changed for menus and apps and such but does anyone know how to change the default font for composing emails? Specifically, I'm running BAMF SOAB 1.0.4 and would like to change the default (looks like arial I believe) to something different, ideally calibri or one of the newer fonts.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Bigger text

¿Is there any possibility to get the text bigger?
I've stock ROM.
Thanks
There are some apps available to change fonts and font size. But I think you'll need root for them...
Sent from my HTC ChaCha with CM9 using XDA app.
You have following options:
1) Install CM9 ROM for HTC ChaCha. Under Settings/System/Font size you can change default font size up to Huge. Huge fonts looks very cool and native on HTC ChaCha. The only exception is System Apps program which has 3 tabs on top "Downloaded", "Runnning" and "All", - and you cannot see tab title "All" because it is out of screen borders (but still selectable on touchscreen).
2) Replace system fonts with larger font. There are fonts which by default are larger comparing to standart DroidSans or Roboto. Also, you can try to scale a font using font development programs (like FontForge). I've tried to enlarge Roboto to 120% of it's standart size. I've applied on my device and it was working, however some characters no longer were properly hinted and aligned and I could not fix that problem with FontForge.
3) Use application or app launcher which can enlarge fonts. Like "Big Fonts" or Go Launcher. I have no experience with these apps.
4) Use application which alters LCD density. This actually will enlarge not only fonts but all the graphics on your screen. I did not tried it, since it causes other problems.
I was able to modify Roboto font by increasing it to 115% using FontCreator app without noticeable aligning/hinting sideeffects.
Font looks ok on CM7.2 ROM, however on few places text overlaps and is cropped from top.

[Q] Change font on keyboard only?

Hi everyone,
I just want to know if there is a way to change the font on the keyboard back to stock without changing the font on the system. I know that the Note 4 does this automatically, it changes the font on the system but not on the keyboard.
