Changing apps icons.. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there anyway to do this without using a different Launcher? I am using the stock Touchwiz and would like to change the icons and be able to download and use different fonts...
If so, can I use ANY font or only certain ones and how do I add it?
Thanks in advance.

desktop visualizer for icon changes....if you use a file explorer you should beable to use differentfonts.
im unsure ab fonts you might need root? never messed aroundwith them just guessing.

wow that Desktop Visualizer is amazing, thanks alot dude... oh and I am rooted but I wasnt sure if I can use ANY font... and what format should they be to install/

yeah im not quite sure on fonts. id assume youd just unzip them and copy and paste them in the system folder where fonts are.
id wait for a better answer.

Just flash it from Recovery?
EDIT
Yup. I'm just using a Rooted Froyo Rom. Looks sweet.
I assume it just replaces the stock font with the new one. Should work on any rom.
Could someone please show screenshots..? :\

Yes it just replaces the stock font. Should work with most ROMs as long as they dont change the location of the fonts.

To use it on MIUI rom you have to change the 2 font files located in /fonts to
Arial.ttf
Arial-Bold.ttf
Then resign the zip file.
I made the file ready to be flashed

download typefresh or font changer from the market. you can change to whatever font you want to with it. very easy to use
Great looking font. I've always liked Comfortaa. I am actually using that on my Nook Color running CM7.
If people want a more "standard looking" font that still has some nice flair, I recommend trying Segoe UI, which should be in your /Windows/Fonts folder.

nice themes by UOT ...
This replaces a lot more than just font. Your whole theme will change(framework-res & SystemUI.apk).
Is it just stock? Did you add the mobile network toggle in the power menu like in your screenshot?
Here some more......
HERE SOME FONTS.... ONLY FLASH WITH XRCVRY...
REMEMBER....
I CANT GARNET THIS ALL FONTS ARE WORKING....
BUT...
MOST OF THEM ARE WORKING....
SPECIALLY LIKE.... SonySketch,AlienLines,Sansation ETC.....

This thread is unbelievable, why can't people just goto the uot kitchen and do this themselves.
If you try you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how much more you can actually theme your phone to exactly how you want it!

No it does not change framework-res and systemUI, when you change fonts and/or boot animation you don't even have to upload those files to the kitchen, it does not change them! Try watching the you tube help video on their site

Download one of these packs and you'll see that they are included (the size is a dead giveaway, then the apps are there if you extract)
They don't need to be, but they are...
Don't need youtube vids to see that anyway, I theme manually

Then the OP has included them when they are not needed.
Anyone can goto the kitchen and change fonts without having to upload those files.
If these files DO change them (And i do believe you, I havent downloaded them yet) then the OP needs to change the attachments to font files that dont change them.
Thanks for pointing out that these do change framework, People need to know that before they flash them, I was just pointing out that changing fonts (Or bootanimation) shouldnt change framework or systemUI if it is done properly

thanks, these look alot better then stock

I haven't added the power menu toggle. I have only modified fonts on the online kitchen,,, I thought it wud be helpful to have it in a thread rather than going to the online kitchen everytime and others can also access them..

Then you need to do like 10assaye said and watch the videos on the UOT site. You don't have to upload anything to change fonts. You can make a zip with only the fonts. The zips you made are mostly unnecessary. They are 5mb when they could be 200kb. Plus they will change the theme back to stock for custom theme users. And then there's a 7mb one that either contains an insanely large font or is a more modified framework...
I understand what you are trying to do and it is appreciated but you need to understand what you are actually doing.
thanks, these look very nice ...
i just use the font changer app from the market (root needed)and get all my fonts from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html
tons of fonts
im using bank gothic md at the moment (the Black Ops font)

ICONS on APP Drawer

Do you guys know how to replace the icons on the app drawer??
any way like flashing it?
thanks...
fastest way : use one of the launcher (go launcher,adw,etc) and then download the theme....
other way : decompile,change icon, compile back some apk (CMIIW)....but I never try it before, so I don't know which apk you must decompile.... sorry for that...
I'm just a nubie

thanks for the reply, though i know the launchers... it's just that i wanted to have icons alone... for the steel blue theme that has been ported for G-Fit...

You have to change the apk's icons one by one if you don't use any launchers that supports icon packs (stock launcher)

WinRAR's Compression methods are different than that of 7-ZIP and I am not sure if you will end up with the correct compression for your modified APK file....

when openend you find only filemaps with the name of an app like mms.apk

just place in the last map your icon rename it like thevicon in there and zip it again

Cm9 fonts

Why all the cm9 "addicts" ignore the question: how to change fonts in cm9??
Install Rom Toolbox or Type Face or any other font changer app you find in the market.
if you want to go hard way, those fonts are under /system/fonts. You can delete one of the fonts (e.g. Roboto or DroidSansFallback) and put your desired font there, then rename the font as exactly as the font you deleted. (don't forget to backup).
All the market apps soft brick the phone they dnt support ics. The problem with system fonts is that there are plenty of fonts in that folder and among them is roboto. Question is, how does system know which font you want to set as default...

The phone keeps bootlooping if you use those apps and even the dev of the app warns you that it does not work on ivs devices. Is it too hard not to post stuff you have not applied yourself on your phone?
If you just keep bashing those who try to help you, you're going to get nowhere in life.

Changing Pixel font.

Hey guys I was looking for some advice on changing the system font on my Google Pixel. I rooted the phone yesterday and I'm happy with the default ROM and Google launcher. With previous phones I've used iFont but with the Pixel I get an "error 7" when trying to set a new font.
I'm pretty sure you can change fonts with substratum.

I haven't messed with it but I know it's capable of changing fonts. I think it requires a compatible rom so stock rooted might not cut it. You'll have to dig around to find out more about substratum. I'm sure there's lots of info out there.

Thanks for the reply. I've had a look through that forum. The font I want to use I don't have all the different types for (bold, italic etc. Can I just copy my font multiple times, rename it to all those file names, flash it and have the same font universally around my phone?

I downloaded the Font_Soma_Bold_Taller_v1 file from the first link. It said just to replace the fonts inside with your own and flash. It's under the Pixel sub forum so I guess it's one that would work. My question was just if I only have one type of the font can I copy the same one over Italic, bold etc and just have the same font universally all over the phone?
Also would I rename my font to roboto-black.ttf, RobotoCondensed-regular.ttf etc?

In theory, you can do that. Of course make a backup of your original fonts. I'm not sure how short you are of the correct fonts.
