[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.

How to use FlipFont on OnePlus One?

Hello, everyone! Sorry if this may come off as a silly question, but I was wondering.. how do you get FlipFont to work on the OnePlus One?
On my previous phone (HTC Desire 620) all you had to do was go to your device's settings and choose your own font from there, but I see that the only way to edit your font on Cyanogen, is from their own theme app. I tried installing that specific emoji/font app and trying to see if I was able to choose it from the theme editor, but nothing
Hope to get some answers, thank you!

iFont was able to generate cm themes compatible font files.

[Completed] The not-so-much-talked-about rom: Miui (themes, reverts back to default theme)

Hola guys. To all of you. Particularly the ones who are familiar with MIUI. I will just stick to the point. If you ARE familiar with miui then you must have come across those flashy themes. You must also have found out the way to bypass the infamous theme policy WSM tools and Xposed and all. But I recently started taking interest in those flashy themes. You know that once you download a theme from the default Themes app the mtz file starts getting downloaded and as soon as the downloading has finished it gets unpacked into bits (com.android.contacts, com.miui.home, icons, lock_wallpaper, locksreen and so on) and gets copied to the MIUI folder in main storage and again into data/system/theme. This is the first problem. I can't copy the whole mtz file to a safe place because it gets unpacked as soon as it has been downloaded which is basically a zip file containing several other zip files that is, the 'bits' I was talking about. Second thing. the default themes app does not recognize mtz files downloaded from the official miui themes website. It declares them as third party themes. What I did was, took some of those 'bits' and replaced some XML files inside them and some png elements and put them back into data/system/theme. But miui has a way to prevent this from happening. As soon as it detects a modified file present in data/system/theme it reverts back to the default plain theme by deleting all files from data/system/theme. My guess is it keeps checking out verifying in regular intervals the checksums that it must have generated earlier. The same thing happens if I just replace a bit in the mentioned directory with a bit from another theme. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to preserve the mtz file downloaded from within the default Themes app as a whole mtz file?
2. Can I make changes to just the Themes app so that it would apply any mtz file?
3. Is there a way to prevent miui from continuously checking or verifying the checksums that it has generated? (just a guess but I reckon thats what it actually does) because for an hour or so after replacing or modifying the 'bits' everything works fine but the reverting process takes place in an hour or so.
Thats all folks! jk. Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated because I think a thread like this was long since needed here. And dont talk about visiting MIUI's official forums. Most of the guys there don't know half the things that is really worth discussing. Thank you guys.
note- dont want to use WSM tools nor can I find one for miui7.
note2- if I change the permissions of the folder (data/system/theme) to 444 allowing READ permissions only, the phone would just reboot without warning and continue to reboot until the permissions are changed back to normal (755).

No one?

I am starting to feel MIUI is really not so popular here on XDA. Blimey after about a hundred views not a single reply, let alone helpful ones. Anyway I will leave the thread as it is just in case somebody who had the same problem and found a workaround, sees the post.
