[How-to] How to change the font ?

hi everyone .
I want to know is that possible to change the nexus font ?

I want to know too
I try to replace DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf but no visible change after reboot...

just download font flasher from the market and follow its instructions.

I want the browser to be capable of displaying the proper font of a website, as intended by the webpage writer. But all the browser does is to use the default Android font. Is there a way to change that? In S60, I could created a directory in the SD card /resource/font and then copy the .ttf files from my Windows PC to the folder. Do you know what directory Android uses?

[GUIDE] Full support for Arabic and Hebrew

Hi, everybody
i've tryed a lot of ROMs and right now only Kyrillos's rom supports Arabic and Hebrew as it should be,
so there are two solutions:
1- install CM
PersianSphinx said:
And its not all CM ROMs that have this. CM7 has it for sure. Ginger bread has it enabled for sure. ive even checked other androids.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2- patch the rom
i will be guiding only the second solution but first
i am not to be credited for any of the work it is all the work of:
Madmack and Brighidea
i dont know the real names
so
step 1:
download the latest version of the patcher from madmack's blog from here
step 2:
extract these three files from the rom:
1- /system/framework/framework.jar
2- /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so
3- /system/lib/libwebcore.so
step 3:
copy these files in the input folder of the patcher, and run commands.exe as administrator ( dont close any screen that appears )
step 4:
get a file named flashable_framework.zip from the output folder,
in normal conditions we would flash it through cwm but for a reason it doesnt it gives you an error
so put each of the files in the zip in its correspondent folder in the system manually.
framework.jar in /system/framework/
lib__bcore.so , libandroid_runtime.so , libicuuc-arabic.so , libwebcore.so in /system/lib/
DroidSansArabic.ttf in /system/fonts/
step 5:
must wipe dalvik-cache,
and if it wont boot wipe data,
if it still wont boot either you didnt follow the steps correctly or there is something wrong and you must contact madmack through his blog
step 6: that's it
again i am not taking credit at all. all i did is that i sent some files to madmack and he did all the job that was from a couple of months

good guide. useful for me, now i can see all my persian songs on any froyo/eclair
give a third way to activate, Kyrillos' ROM has Arabic/Persian/Hebrew activated on version 9 and 10 of his ROM by default. And its not all CM ROMs that have this. CM7 has it for sure. Ginger bread has it enabled for sure. ive even checked other androids.

thank you for that it was encouraging, i will quote some of what you said, in first post, i dont know about Persian but i think Kyrillos used this patch for Arabic, may be.

I know this because i suggested it to him to do it mate
Persian is similar to Arabic in the alphabet, but we have 4 letters that arabs dont have: گ، چ، پ، ژ
also the layout of the keyboard is different and we dont have the weird ه with the dots above it in our language that is most of the difference... Oh yea, and we dont use the vowels at all in writing... only ا، ه، آ، و، ی and none of the hamza crap

(Arabic Persian support) Work on all Android ROMs

Hey guys
Arabic support on gingerbread and previous versions of android is really a pain in the ass .. at last there is a patch to work on any ROM
Its simple and effective
1. You need a rooted phone.
2. You need the ROM's source (zip file).
3. A ClockworkMod Recovery to flash the created zip file.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if u bricked your phone.
How to do it:
1. Download the tool from
For All Roms - here.
For MIUI - here.
2. Extract the tool to a folder.
3. Search for a folder called input folder and open it.
3. Open your ROM source with any zip software or extract it.
4. Search for 3 files
A. framework.jar - Found in: /system/framework
B. libwebcore.so - Found in: /system/lib
C. libandroid_runtime.so - Found in: /system/lib (HTC Sense and AOSP ROMs ONLY)
5. Copy these 3 files in the input folder we have previously opened.
6. Run commands.exe
7. Follow on screen instructions till it finishes making your flashable Arabic - Persian fix
8. You will find your fix in the output folder, copy it to your SD card and flash it through the recovery (Make a nandroid backup before flashing it)
At last your ROM can read the Arabic - Persian letters correctly. Enjoy
P.S i am not the developer of this tool i just tested the tool and it works like a charm. All the thanks goes to the devs of this tool.
P.S Your rom must be deodexed, take care of this.

The link u provided is a similar patch but it works for MIUI only I tried it b4 .. and when u flashed it to another ROM u r stuck at boot loop
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

using arabic_script for samsung p1010 wifi
i copy and pasted 3 files from sys of my android to input folder but my framework.jar is too small (12.2 kb) compare to original one and it gives error while using commands.exe .
any suggestions?
edit: your rom must be deodexed ,took me half a day to find this out. .check that before u do anything

Thanks a lot dear

Nice
Thank you !!!!!!! :victory:

I flashed the output zip file through recovery, the process was aborted so the flashing failed. The ROM is fine, nothing damaged.
My question is:
Is it safe if I replaced the output files inside the ROM's zip file and then install the ROM again?

Yes

Yes it's perfectly safe. I always did that with MIUI roms, by putting the arabic in the zip file then flash it. To be 100% safe just do a nandroid backup before flashing the new rom with the arabic files. Hope that helps, try it and get back to me.

I put the arabic files into the ROM zip file, wiped data and cache and performed a nandroid backup.
But when I tried installing the ROM with arabic files it said that the installation is aborted! What could be my mistake?
This is the exact text displays after the failed installation:
Installing update...
E: Error in /sdcard/Creed_3.5_totoro.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I use Creed ROM 3.5 for Samsung Galaxy Y.
Am I using the right ROM for the right device? or can u help me get through this problem?

Did u replace the right files as mentioned in the tutorial, just make sure that everything is going exactly as mentioned above or in the tool itself. I tried this tool with more than 10 roms and it worked perfectly with every rom coz it injects the arabic to the framework itself. Please try again and make sure everything is done in the right way and get back to me.

Thank you very much!
I messed up before, but now...
My phone can read and write Arabic letters properly!
before i was worried because it won't write Arabic, but now I found the option in the Ice cream sandwich keypad.
Thank u so much!

At last

I am happy it worked for you at last. To write arabic download a third party keyboard that supports arabic. My recommendation is swiftkey 3, it's an amazing keyboard. If u r using the market alternative "Aptoide" add my store at http://haithammotawee.bazaarandroid.com or http://haithammotawee.aptoide.store.com and u will find the application on it.
Happy i could help you, enjoy ur Arabic phone.
P.S like the post please if it was helpful to you.

Support for Indian Language in Android 2.x

Hi All,
By default in Android version 2.x(Gingerbread) Indian fonts are not supported so as a workaround we will be using “opera mini” to view the same.
The procedure given below will enable you to view/type Indian fonts in your android mobile including sms/twitter and blah blah blah…
IMPORTANT:: This procedure requires your mobile to be rooted since it involves placing a tamil font file in system directory.
Guide to ROOT your android mobile can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/ ,if you are not successful in finding or not sure of the procedure feel free to get back to me.
1. Download Indian font from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?6isti7ew908mwiy and copy to your SD Card
2. Download ES File Explorer to your android mobile from the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en
3. In ES file Explorer go to SettingsPath settings put a check mark in “Up to Root”  move a little below you will find “root settings” In it enable “root Explorer”(you will get a popup asking for root permission just click OK in it) also enable “Mount File system” under “root settings”. <This is done to make sure that “/system/fonts/” is editable>
4. Delete “DroidSansFallback.ttf” present in /system/fonts/ and copy the new(the one you have downloaded) “DroidSansFallback.ttf” from your SD card to /system/fonts/
5. After copying long press over “DroidSansFallback.ttf”  select “properties”  permissions must be “rw- r-- r-- “ , If not change the same.
6. Now reboot the phone and you can enjoy Enjoy Indian fonts
For typing in Indian Fonts search your respective keyboards in Google/Google Play store, I have given the links for Tamil keyboard below.
Tamil Keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mak.tamil&hl=en
ThamiZha! -Tamil Visai https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tamil.visai&hl=en  I personally prefer using Tamil visai since it is easy to type 
Have tested this procedure successfully on HTC Desire S, HTC Widfire S, Samsung Galaxy Ace and Samsung Galaxy Fit.

for opera, it's another workaround. here are the steps:
1. Make sure you have internet connection on your phone/device
2. type "about:config" (without quotes) on the address bar.
3. scroll to the last option which mentions about bitmap images for complex font and choose "YES" option.
4. Close opera. restart opera. Enjoy

Ok, found the workaround. This post was incomplete and not detailed, your phone needs to be rooted first to have it work. This should have been mentioned in the prerequisites.
