I've seen posts on this topic, but nothing in one place.
This will help you to just switch out the basic overall system fonts (without any apps, aside from root explorer)...
0. (optional) using root explorer, navigate to /system/fonts and copy the current Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, and DroidSans.ttf files to your sd card for safe-keeping (note that if you are on any custom roms, these are most likely not the actual font names - if you're curious, copy it to your computer and preview the .ttf file or just hold your cursor over the font and it should tell you the actual font name)
1. get the .ttf files that you want (maybe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194202 <-- these are font packs with a lot more stuff in there than you need - just unzip and grab the three .ttf files only) you really only need to grab the unique files - usually clockopia and droidsans are the exact same file with different names, and sometimes all three are the same when there is no actual bold type of a specific font)
2. put the .ttf files on your sd card (i have a folder with different fonts on my sd, i named the .ttf files the actual font name to keep everything straight, and copy and rename when i want to switch fonts)
3. using root explorer, copy the 3 .ttf files (or only the unique files and make additional copies as needed) to your /system folder - make sure to mount r/w first (we need to make a layover here so we can change the permissions)
4. rename the files (you could do the renaming at any stage really, just sometime before you put them in the /system/fonts folder) - change the regular font types to Clockopia and DroidSans, and the bold font type to DroidSans-Bold (that's what your system is looking for when calling fonts)
5. change permissions of the 3 files to chmod 644 (see attached pic)
6. multi-select the 3 files and MOVE (do not copy) to the /system/fonts folder. it will ask you if you want to overwrite, check the box to do it for all files, and hit ok.
7. exit. reboot. done. cheers!

No prob. I learned quick after taking a misstep trying to copy them to the fonts folder w/ no cwm on boot - fc's, followed by a boot loop, followed by rsd lite... you know where this goes... anyway, i thought i'd share..
...Still not sure what all the other fonts in there do.. heck, i got no idea what the clockopia font is even for. I've changed it to different fonts separately, and notice no difference anywhere... you probably don't need to even change it. Someone else please feel free to post if you can add to the topic

Guys, I just did what I didn't suppose to and ended up in bootloop during font change! I know, am a stupid noob...
But, can't get the phone to CWM either. What should I do?
Running Victory rom if that helps. Thank you very much for the responses.
EDIT: nevermind, now I know what to do. Sorry for trolling, moderators can now delete my stupid post...
Don't beat yourself up my brother.... We've all been there.
Some, like me, more than others. That's the way I learned.
ATRIX 2 / Victory Rom
Yup - been there. And, learned from it..
Try and keep that CWM on Boot installed if you're messing around, and a backup on your sd card to restore if you start looping..
Thanks for your support guys, you're awesome
The thing is that i did have CWM on boot installed, and I did make all important backups. I just couldn't get anywhere but in regular fastboot mode only...
Anyway, RSDLite will do the thing I hope...
Thanks again boys, cheers from OZ

Wow.. I forgot about this thread!
Anyway, you would need you to find the fonts from cm7 and move those as described above.
I am not familiar with CM roms, but I assume the fonts are in the same /system/fonts folder - grab them from a CM7 rom and follow the steps..
Note: there are also apps that change system fonts (like Font Changer) - but I prefer to do things manually..

Thanks! That is a good read... and, so it looks like you could possibly still use the method in my OP, but you need to replace the four Roboto font files instead of the DroidSans ones.. I'll give it a try sometime when I get back on ICS and update the OP accordingly.

Hi Modders/Guys,
Is there a way we can port the new stock Samsung keyboard from the DXLRK Rom? I've heard it's much better one than the stock keyboard on LRG. (on the stock LRG, when I typed emails/texts, everytime I hit the "Space' bar, I often times hit the period '.' key as well..(I got big thumbs actually )
Any possibility perhaps if anyone can extract this from the LRK Rom?
Thanks and highly appreciate if somebody can do it.
Hello there!
Heres the keyboard and files to make it work. In theory this works for all roms including none Touchwiz based.
How to install:
download attachment.
1) Download zip file (Samkeyboard.zip) from the link below.
2) Using root explorer or same kind of tool, place these files and set the permissions -
Only Deodexed. (Screenshots yet to come)
Touchwiz.xml put in /system/etc/permissions and set permission to rw-r--r-- (I have attached a screenshot, see it if you dont understand the permission stuff)
libdhwr.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--
libXt9_core.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--
T9db folder(with all files inside, copy this whole folder)
put in /system and set permission to rwxr-xr-x
AxT9IME.apk put in /system /app and set permission to rw-r--r--
Enjoy! Remmember to press THANKS ;D
Credits: Drivingdroids for gathering files and taking time to kinda make it...
And to tj_droid for doing this for the ace and showed me the correct files. also His instructions.
Extra: there might be bugs with some CM9 roms(untested) PRESS THANKS

Is this a flashable zip?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
no they are not flashable zip.they can be extracted and then can be installed as normal wallpapers or normal apks.only the camera/gallery is a flashable zip
Camera/Gallery -> after flashing, nothing happen on CM10a3. still 4.1 U/I.
i dont know may be it does not work on cm10.if anybody else can confirm that it works or not on any other rom then i will search for another file or remove that file.

U need optimize files in APK and after build it, example of optimizing is reduce quality of PNGs, remove languages, etc...

Faced a problem yesterday
force close

Don't know why
3reasons for that might be
1. I just replaced png by JPEG and the other way
2.I dint resize the PNG, just placed as it is
3. Some thing might have went wrong while compiling
Wt do u think the reason for fc's

I think that the reason is JPEG images, I think that only are compatible PNG images.
And if you only want replace images, open APK with WinRAR and replace images, it is the safer and faster method to theming .
Regards.
I did, the thing wrong with that method is,
By replacing a JPEG image file by PNG file, is not being recognised on flashing that apk...
Everything else other than those images are working fine....
One more thing along with the above problem
I've taken some theme, replaced some image files, wanna rename that apk
Wt should I do
On just renaming the default name where ever I saw in folders dint help me....

Is there any way to change emojis with stock android emojis? Yes, there is!
Download file to SD.
Using file manager on your phone with root (i.e. ES file explorer) go to system/fonts in root folder.
Locate default NotoColorEmoji.ttf and do a back up (you can skip it).
Replace NotoColorEmoji.ttf in system/fonts with the file you have downloaded.
Set permissions to rw-r-r.
Reboot.
Default android emojis: http://d-h.st/uXQL
Default LG emojis: http://d-h.st/O9aw
Tested & works with LG, Xperia keyboard.
Have you tried this on play? Needs root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher
Im more of a "push-it-to-/root/system-kinda" guy, these kind of apps seems a little fishy to me.
Looks like it's a ttf file, perhaps you could try swapping it for another, I'm guessing you'll have to rename it to match the one in your font folder.

Did you renamed the original one? I kept the original one but I added suffix .ttf.original
Also I am using Xperia keyboard as my default but with stock LG keyboard emojis are working.
Incase you need it, here's my original (note that this one is over 11MB whereas stock android was just over 2 MB) http://d-h.st/O9aw
Dont forget to fix the suffix and permissions. I hope this one helps.

You might want to explain how to push it into System/fonts, as some users might not know about adb or did you use a root explorer?
Yup, re-edited OP, now it should be quite clear.
