I had the s6 edge and I would change the font and it wasn't a problem. I downloaded apps like ifont and it worked just fine. Now, I went to add the same font (roboto condensed) and it won't allow me to! The ifont app says I might have to root...I don't want to. Any way around this? I hope this makes sense
The same thing with me. Maybe they changed the flip font. I guess we wait for root. Then use ifont
Yea it's a bummer. Was using customs with Hifont on my S6 Edge without any problems. Now when I install a custom font and try to apply it i get "Font is not supported. Please contact the font owner". Not sure if it's a Marshmallow or a Tmobile restriction issue. I've even tried using fonts using the apk method.

So I searched up and down for my answer, could not find, if im THAT blind I do apologize lol.
I have rooted my HTC Inspire 4G (At&T) with Ace Hack awhile ago and just pretty much used it just to change fonts...I was looking for some themes to install onto my phone but I was wondering if the themes had to be spacifically for Ace Hack? Also, I know you can change fonts and remove stock apps ect. with a rooted phone but can I change font color or would that depend on the app I install?
Thank you for taking time to read and/or answer!

wait, wut? The Ace Hack Kit has nothing to do with changing themes. Basically you have some options. Some ROMs have themes built specifically for them. ARHD for instance has some themes that can be flashed. You can also use the UOT kitchen to customize a theme for yourself, it may not be as inclusive as a true theme but it does a good job at getting almost ever aspect. You can also use a different launcher, i.e. Go Launcher or something different, and they have themes for each launcher.
Fonts can be changed by using the font installer app. the color of the font depending on what font you're talking about can be changed with UOT kitchen or with a theme you use. Hope that helps!

haha not a problem! yeah ROM specific themes are few and far between, especially since the ROMs are updated often which sometimes causes changes in framework which in return causes the new to update the theme. You can always try ADW launcher, they too have some themes. If you aren't opposed to CM based ROMs I know they have a theme chooser app as well. UOT though seems to be the best option short of learning to theme that gives you the most customizable experience.
Is there any app or way i can change the carrier name ? I have Straighttalk and "HOME" looks boring, would like to change it up a bit. Thanks
I've been looking for the same thing on the galaxy nexus. I've tried all the apps I could find and tried changing xml files and still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions?
I think its not gonna happen until we get s-off.
The AOKP ROM in my signature has this customization feature.
root tools by jrummy (not free but gets the job done). Once you get it its called (Pulldown editor) in the app itself.

Until 4.4 I used to set Roboto Condensed system font by simply editing a couple of lines in system/etc/fonts.xml but now on Lollilop the file is different and I can't find any method to do it that doesn't include a third party Apps.
I think is lame to use third party Apps to set a variant of Roboto since it's already included in the system, plus I tried Fontster and the font they provide clearly is bugged/modified.
Any help? Thanks in advance.
Bump.
Jrummys toolkit has tons of type faces. Get it and it has I'm using it

Hey all, I have a theme I love and use on my S6 from the theme store called Rain Drops. Now that i have the S7, I can't find it at all in the theme store. Not sure why, but that's fine... Anyone know if there is a way to migrate it over to S7 manually?
Thanks in advance!

Probably because the ROM is different, the resources are most likely not exactly the same, this would result in inconsistency or incomplete theme applied. It's easier to turn off S6 themes for S7 than making them cross device compatible.
You could potentially patch in the theme resources for the framework/ROM, but it is a long and tedious task to replace resources to make a theme. It would also result in unsigned non-official files being flashed and in the process probably also void your Knox warranty (0x1).
Maybe someone can build the theme for the Samsung store? http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy#mytheme (not sure how exactly one does this.. )

If your s6 is rooted copy the theme apks to your SD card transfer to computer and then transfer to s7 install apk should show up in themes
The theme probably hasn't been updated for MM yet. Once the dev updates the theme, then it should start showing up in the store.
What's up all. I have a Verizon model and am rooted. Now I'm wanting to change the font and wanted to ask what method you all have had success using. Not sure if there is an app to use or what. TIA!!
The best way to do it would be through xposed. Not sure if that is something you would want to run, but xposed is now in Beta and out for our phones. There are a couple of xposed modules i have ran to change the font on other devices, haven't tested on my pixel 2 yet, so not sure if it'd work on 8.1. But the xposed modue Fonter i have had good luck with. Allows you to change system font and even app font. I'd give that a whirl, that is definitely going to be your easiest way of changing the font. Otherwise i've seen Zips flying around the internet for nougat that change the system font, but not for oreo. Good luck.
