I had AOKP ROM, and I really couldn't stand the size of the font and the font its self. Is there a way before I install the ROM that I could change all of that? I'm familiar with modifying Paranoid Android, so if all else fails, I know how to mod the ROM.

YEP! sure is, after you install the rom that is.. you can use "ifont", an app on the play store to change the font and you could use "textdroider" also another app to change the dpi and make things smaller!
BE SURE TO HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED
I've tried to use those apps with it, and they didn't work.

Anyone else have any idea if I could change it within the folders of the ROM before I reinstall it?

Coming from a galaxy s phone, the one thing I enjoyed was being able to use flip font or flash font .zip files through cwm. Any chance this can happen on the g2x? (Once cwm is stable that is)
font changer worked for me. it's a root app though.

Going to give that a whirl, thanks.
Iam looking to change the font using font installer, it doesn't change the fonts in the settings menu, fonts in all other places were changed. Any suggestions or alternative font changer available which completely changes fonts everywhere?

I maybe overlooking something but I wanted to see what font is installed, change the font myself.
Found nothing.
Just sizes small, medium, large

root and mod it out lol....this device is a masterpiece one set up right lol...
Since fonts are stored in the system files of the device there is no way to change them without root because no app will be able to write to or access the font folder with out super user permissions. So root away and enjoy your phone to its fullest potential
Edit
Also you can't selectively choose which parts of the os fonts change it's really all or nothing

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.

There isn't a default .apk for CyanogenMod. (At least from what I see after searching everywhere in /vendor/tmobile/ and when clicking on the info button in the ThemeChooser it says the System Default theme's package is com.android.systemui) So to change the default theme you will have to first decompile the theme you want to use or if you made it just simply put everything you made into the /frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/ and if you want to change the theme name, author, and preview from "System", "Google", and the default preview you can go to /vendor/tmobile/providers/ThemeManager/res/ in the xml/ folder there the system_theme.xml that contains the names and the path to the preview. It is possible to just add in the theme .apk you want and set it to default but that looks to be more work and it would still leave the system theme in there but if you really want to still then I recommend going to /frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/res/Configuration.java and search for "customTheme" and see how CyanogenMod saves which theme is the default and override the setToDefaults() so that instead of setting customTheme to null; to set it to your theme. Just replacing the SystemUI theme would probably be the best idea in my opinion.
Hope this helped!

Hi!!! Do you ever found a solution to your question? Please reply:good:
Hi all,
I've been searching for two days a way to reduce NavBar's DPI in Lollipop 5.1 Stock rom because they look too big to me. Since different people are looking for it (from what I've read), I would ask if someone that is able in this sector could kindly make a flashable zip for everyone (I really don't know how to... maybe with a guide I could try by myself).
Thanks in advance.
If you can't get that, get SoftKeyZ. Has keys of smaller size.

Thanks man but... this app only changes softkeys' dimensions not navbar's dpi... I
If no one wants to make this flashable zip this thread can be closed.
Thanks.

I've modified the navbar to 20dpi on stock 5.1 and using it without any issues.
You need to do change some variable values in framework-res and SystemUI apks as well as resizing the navbar icons.
Attaching a screenshot here to give you an idea about how it looks. Let me know if you need the flashable zips.

Thank you man! Could you explain how to change those values? I would make them 36 dpi but I wouldn't disturb you making a flashable zip...

Follow this link. It will give you a generic idea about how to resize the navbar. This tutorial is for kitkat, but the steps are more or less same. You need the latest apktool jar file and java 7 installed in your system.
Since lollipop some core things are changed most probably because of selinux and security stuff, so you need to use the manifest and meta inf files from the original apk otherwise device will boot loop.
Also you need to downsize the softkey icons in the System-UI apk, else it'll look ugly after resizing.
Finally if you lowered the dpi of your device, then resizing the navbar will increase the gap between the softkeys, some people will like that, but I prefer the keys to be as close as possible so that thumb's reach can be minimal. let me know if you want that mod too. Good luck.
Thanks man, but it looks too difficult to me... I don't know anything about decompiling, java, etc...
By the way thank you very much for spending your time answering my questions.
I'll stay on Chroma until GB is compatible with 5.1.

I was using Chroma ever since it was available for N5, but came back to stock because google maps was FC'ing continuously. Downloaded the latest chroma just yesterday night and still thinking of trying that once again to see how maps behave this time. Regarding navbar, typing the 'how to do' is much longer than modding the apk

I add myself to the discussion because on the web you can't find anything. For KitKat were available some zip file to flash via custom recovery on rooted device compatible with the stock ROM, but for Lollipop anything yet! 40 dpi would be perfect
