[APP] Font Changer 4.0.4 [29/09/12]

This app is no longer being updated and may cause issues on newer versions of Android. Use at your own risk!
Description
Font Changer allows you to change the font on your Android device. Some (most likely people from the HTC Desire forum section) may be familiar with an older version which required flashing an update, however these two versions don't require it (check the requirements section for more).
Basically you can put your TTF fonts in /sdcard/.fontchanger/ (location can be changed in the settings) and then you can apply a font once they have been found by the application (inside Font Changer there are more detailed instructions on how to do this). You can also set the fonts individually using the advanced mode. It works just by copying the selected font to the system partition and overwriting the current font. Backup is automatic, although occasionally it breaks resulting in the need to fix the fonts manually or with an update (usually the cause of messing with the fonts alongside with Font Changer).
Font Changer used to only have a paid version for the past few months, but with the new Market changes I have decided to add a free version. While most cancellations happen within a few minutes after purchase, not all do... and 15 minutes is just too short! Plus some people are not in a country where they are allowed to buy paid apps. Anyway, that's my reasoning.
The application should be removed from its settings to restore the default fonts and density. More information can be found on its Market page and inside the application.
Requirements
root
system write access (aka NAND unlock or S-OFF)
busybox
custom recovery (not a requirement per-se, but highly recommended in case something goes wrong)
Reviews
DroidDog
Coming Features
Fix up setting custom website for preview
Set dark/white theme
Rework UI for the font picker
Rework UI for the density changer
Need some icons for the Basic/Advanced tabs
Add more fonts to be replaced in Basic mode
Check font integrity
Shake for a random font

Really thanks for share.

OK, done. Although if your signature is correct and you have a GT540, Font Changer doesn't have support for it yet as I need some information to identify the device (the person with a GT540 who was helping me has gone somewhat quiet and I haven't managed to finish it without his input).

Lol. Allright. Good to know. "None support" does not mean "does not work for GT540", correct? I'll try it anyway so...

1. There are multiple rooting methods for the GT540, and some of them work with Font Changer and others don't. I'm afraid I don't have any specific information on this. If 1 works, then check out 2.
2. The GT540 uses different fonts than the default Android ones. I know which ones and already have the code in the application to make it work, however all I need is to identify the device for which I require someone with a GT540 willing to help.
Anyway, feel free to give it a try and see what will happen.

Tried right now, works well. Looks **** cause of fail font.
Some informations for you: Got 2.2.1 based on CyanogenMod, Recovery 2.5.0.5.
Yeah. Thank you!

OK, your one works because you have CM which uses default Android fonts
You're welcome.

Version 1.7.1.3 has been released, per-user request.
It is now possible to specify in the settings whether the regular font should be used to replace the clock, or whether the default clock font should be used. Some ROMs make use of the clock font, others don't, so the option may not have an effect for everyone.

Doesn't work for me on rooted GT540 with stock Android 2.1 update. I am willing to help with any testing.

I've ben using this app for a while (paid version) and it works very well.

Seems to work on the HTC Vision /G2/Desire Z. Thanks a lot! (Got the paid version to support development)

Hi there. It doesn't work as in when you set the font it does nothing?
If that's what happens then you could try running the app which I attached in this post and send the report which it generates by GMail, or any other method that works for you. I'm missing identification information for the GT540.

So it works fine on a Galaxy S sister device? When I tested a long time ago on my friend's Galaxy S it would cause freezes and didn't allow for the notification bar to be pulled down...

Thank you, I added those devices to the supported list. A little surprised that they all have full root since they only came out recently. On the Desire we had to wait for a while... >_<
And thanks to all those who bought from the Market to support development, it's greatly appreciated.

Very nice app. Thank you for developing it! Works perfect on HTC Desire
It seems that only ttf files are working, if anybody has a font which is otf for instance you can convert them here http://onlinefontconverter.com/
Hope op don't mind that i posted the link.
Thanks again

Just a second. You are giving me conflicting information. Did it say you don't have system write access OR root? Both will never be shown at the same time, I checked the code twice just now.
EDIT: Never mind, I was able to see that page. I'll get back to you soon hopefully.

it said it doesnt have write access. didnt say anything about root. sorry about that
EDIT: it said it didnt have full root. i must be tired, or something, lol.

Modding Revolution from RetroKid for Mesmerize

Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out how to theme by taking a theme apart and then comparing stuff to my phone. I got "most" of the Revolution Theme working properly on my Mez. It was taken from the Fascinate Theme Thread...
The only thing that I've found that has a force close is trying to go into sound settings...
Anyone know where that file is in the theme pack that I need to change?
I've attached a screen shot for your review of what it looks like.

OK, I got it working. I had to pull out my Settings.apk, make the changes to it and then put it back into the package. Seems to be working well now.
The only thing that hasn't changed that I want to change is the lock screen. Anyone know what files specifically need to be modded to change that?
Anyone interested in trying it out? Remember to do a backup before giving this a try!
I'm running SuperClean .2 with a voodoo kernel as a reference point
Put it on the root of your SDcard and then boot into clockwork and choose install Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1429928/Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip

I'll give it a go.
As a point of reference:
Variant of the voodoo kernal
Pick-n-Pack rom

Hope you like it. I have to figure out how to fix the lock screen though.

I'll be looking at it too, as this goes along with what I'm doing while I'm on vacation anyway. I am not 100% sure, but I think the lock screen and a few other things that you are going to want, are going to be in the framework.res.

Another note, this uses aosp mms.apk which has a problem still with sending and receiving picture messages.

I got it installed. (Sorry it took so long, I didn't realize I was at 3% battery when I posted)
Installed with no issues, however I'm getting a big difference in the battery meter. My widget says 65%, the rpm battery gauge says 80%.
Also, it reinstalled Mail, which I had taken off in the Pick-n-Pack. Was that in the zip?

Yes, mail was included as one if the customized apps. Hmmm, you didn't want mail? Not sure how to remove that. Do you liked it? I live the font and different icon scheme.
The mms its a problem but I was going that once it got fixed that I'd be able to update it.

I unzipped it, system-app, and took out the programs I didn't like. All in all it looks pretty good. I will use it again when the mms issue is fixed (I send A LOT of picture messages)

Updated File - Screenshots
Got it perfect now. I didn't like the battery meter in the first try.

Just as a thought, you might want to change the name slightly. The DJ05 part of the name has to do with the release version. The Mesmerize is currently on DI14. Nothing critical right now, just confusing if and when we start getting updates and things need to be changed for themes to work with different ROMs.
Great work, btw. Glad to see others are working on stuff for the Mesmerize.

Good point. I'll make the change to the file name.
Thanks!

So, in order to install this all I need to do is flash it in clockworkmod recovery after booting in recovery mode? I almost have this flashing down, but haven't tried a theme yet...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Yes, make a backup using Clockwork or Rom Manager first, then boot into Clockwork recovery. Scroll to Install from zip. Select "Choose zip" then navigate to it on your SD card. Select it and it will install. Let me know how you like it.

I will for sure, thanks man.

Dude this is awesome! I love the notification bar (transparency, GPS/wifi/etc icons, black, signal & battle icons), and the font, and the way the texting looks (even though I only use Google voice) and the search bar, and stars and checkmarks, and loading icon.
A couple issues I have with it though:
+When you hit the menu button, its impossible to read the black text on the black background the text should be white or grey I think
+ the battery meter isn't very accurate (according to "battery status"). I would love if the battery could be more accurate, because the app I have right now has almost the same icon for telling how full the batt is (only yours looks way cooler, and its on the other side of the notif bar, which I like)
+Then the last thing is this font, which I think there's something I can do to fix. I like the font on my keyboard and in menus and stuff, but I don't really want it on every webpage and text. I use dolphin browser, you know what I could do?
Last thing, is it possible to make Google voice look like the normal texting app, or different in any way? I'm not a huge fan if the way it is now.
Overall I really like it, and I'm keeping it : ) thanks!

Trying this out on my Super Clean .3 rom with voodoo kernel.

Can confirm that this works and is sexy; I agree with the three gripes above though. Can't read the menu buttons, battery isn't perfect, and the font is a bit annoying. If possible the status bar might look a little better with a slight gradient, though that might just be the wallpaper or whatever. Overall, this is a good theme.

-herpderp-

A couple more spots I've noticed the font is a hard color...
-android keyboard, white squares appear above the letters you press with no letters in them.
-on notification bar, most apps have white text and is a bit difficult to read on grey background.
-theres another one that I forgot where now....
And since I flashed this my YouTube isn't working, and I can't download from mediafire.... haha I think that might be a fluke, but Its weird: s

ICS Roboto font

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.

Love this font! Switched from Segoe n they're similar but this is so neat

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.

Well I'm in business studies right now. So it's kind of whatever font makes everything look bigger
But yeah it seems like a subtle change I'm sure I notice it subconsciously!

[HOW-TO]Successfully decompile and compile com.htc.resources.apk

This guide assumes you already know how to use apktool and use latest 1.52 version. If you don`t, there are plenty of guides already on XDA.
Latest Sense 5 com.htc.resources.apk and apktool are not great friends. Actually there is a long history of compile issues with this file, but also I managed to fix it usually in the past. I stumbled about some theme threads, who were correctly complaining, that they can`t fully finish their work, since many essentially stuff in HTC`s framework can`t be themed, since com.htc.resources.apk can`t be compiled and as a result many color themes remain incomplete.
So I had a quick look and here is the workaround, which is tested and works.
For those having other apktool issues, it also might pay off looking in my One S apktool issues thread, maybe you will find some ideas to solve other problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642224
Credits:
brut for his awesome apktool
hdneuling for being a great tester and guy
1. First thing you will recognize, when decompiling the "nice" way, apktool will miserably fail. So let`s be the bad guy and brute force decompile
2. Decompile com.htc.resources apk with the following:
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar d --keep-broken-res com.htc.resources.apk com.htc.resources-decoded
This ignores all errors and decompiles the apk
3. Since the real issues here in reality are only very minor dimens decompile problems, you can now simply delete all unneeded folders with an ERR at the end.
4. Make all necessary edits
5. Now compile the apk as usual, there are different ways to do it - I compile with
PHP:
java -jar apktool.jar b com.htc.resources-decoded
6. Flash and enjoy your work

Good job

Had to look into it, Helmut was desperate

Great Job, and o.k., feeling guilty now :silly:

One thing we noticed when putting together our tranquility rom was that any com.htc.resources, sense 4 and after, was that even when it could be decompiled it was better to hex edit. It caused issues with the rom. The dialer and battery life were affected. There were other performance issues also.

Of course we have to have a look at "maybe problems", but it´s good to have a solution to de/compile it now i think

First off, Nice find!! So far the only ill effect I'm noticing is the fonts in settings/display, gestures and buttons doesn't function properly. it changes the font size in certain areas but not system wide like it should. this is the same error we had before, and maybe its because im using the port rom for Evo LTE. I'm looking into it but we couldn't find a resolve for this before.

double post.

Just to confirm, this is also the case on the One ROMs themselves as well, not just limited to ports.
To see it clearly, just go into Settings/Display, Gestures and Buttons, and try flicking between small and extra large fonts. When you go back out into the main Settings menu, the font size doesn't change as expected.
Did try to get around this by compiling the images, and dragging them into the stock resources apk. If you do this without renaming some of the 9.pngs back into r.9.pngs, you get SysUI FC, and a messed up lockscreen. With those corrections made, everything boots fine, but Dialer FCs and several Settings menu options also FC.
Next thing to try is using villaintheme to insert the altered pngs directly on-device....
Edit: yup, using villaintheme seems to give the best result. No app FCs and no text resizing issue. Just means we still need to hex edit to change any of the values xmls.
At least the recompile workaround gives us a way to easily test resource edits. Thanks again for the heads up!

no problem, Ive dug in settings and com.htc.resources and see no link in the two. Not arrays, dimens, nothing. all the arrays and sizes for the different fonts are in settings so i dont understand why that would be affected. If i find afix/workaraound ill post it here.

Noticed the fontsize-problem before de/compiling com.htc.resources.apk too, dont know if it works on Stock because i never booted Stock ^^
Besides this, my edited com.htc.resources.apks are still working without problems, even with ROMs based on 1.29.401.1/2

[Q] Tying to change fonts in CM10.2 -- boot loop

Ok, so I just got the new Nexus 7 and had to go CM 10.2 of course. However, it seems font changing procedures are different or something. Font Changer just refuses to work so I googled around. I see suggestions of iFont and tried it. Boot loop. I had to reflash. So what it the new procedure to change fonts? Must I do it manually? I don't even remember exactly how. (The last time I tried manually replacing them, it went BADLY...)
EDIT: Ok, I manually changed Roboto-Regular.ttf via a file manager. Are there any others of the main fonts I should change?

I see suggestions of iFont and tried it. Boot loop. I had to reflash. So what it the new procedure to change fonts? Must I do it manually? I don't even remember exactly how. (The last time I tried manually replacing them, it went BADLY...)
EDIT: Ok, I manually changed Roboto-Regular.ttf via a file manager. Are there any others of the main fonts I should change?

Did this work for you in the end?

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.

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.)
