Hi All, I'm new here. Hope you can help.
I am using BLN-L21 on B371 version EMUI 5.0.1.
I don't like the EMUI Time and Date tumbler dial selectors when using calendar apps etc. Is it possible to install the stock android month and clock dial selector format?
Many thanks, Steve
Hi there, and welcome.
I have an idea about what you're referring to, but I'm not sure that it could be right, so would you kindly post a screenshot about what you mean with date and time tumbler? Didn't understood if you're aiming to install just another clock/calendar or if you mean something else.

I am referring to the vertical scrolling dials used to set the time and date where this is required, for example when entering dates of flights, or calendar entries, or the times in alarm settings. The EMUI method is to scroll the hour tumbler and the minutes tumbler separately where the stock method is to pick a number off the clock dial. Similarly with EMUI you select the day and month from separate tumblers rather than the date off a page of the month.
I have installed the Google calendar for example which on my tablet uses the stock android method, but on my Honor 6x uses the EMUI method so it must be something to do with the way EMUI implements the date and time selection. Hopefully something you can change.
Regards, Steve
Tried to insert screenshot. Failed miserably.
I like the video wallpapers you can set for the lock screen. I just wish it could change it to a different one from time to time. Right now I have a folder with a few of them and a Tasker automation that applies a new one each night. The automation simulates input going into theme store and clicking on the UI. I wonder if there's a better way to do this? Is there a file that I can change using command line to make it more seamless? Don't know why Samsung didn't think of an option like this.
S10+ Snapdragon - not rooted - Android 9.0
You can do this with OneUI 2
Does anyone have a port of a rom from say the S20 for Android 11 on the Fold 2 I want those new features.
Would have been nice if Samsung did a Android 11 beta with the Fold 2 as well and not just the S20.
I hear you. You would think Samsung's most expensive phone would get the best service. Samsung should have a team working to get it out FIRST. I know they had to make some major changes, but Android 11 adds a lot of the multi screen stuff native.
Samsung said the the phone needs extra attention so it will be later. (From a Samsung Tweet).

Let the S20 owners "test" all the bugs in the beta and give us Fold2 owners a stable build for Xmas

The Note line doesn't even get the beta.
It's simply because the S20 series phones have the largest user base, so it makes sense to target them for the best possible and consistent bug reporting.
Samsung users don't really see the huge benefits of each iteration of Android, because generally new features have already appeared within OneUI. Seems Google take on cool Samsung features each year
So I am much more interested in what OneUI 3.0 is going to bring to the table (following info is from September 2020, so more features and amendments are likely since this release):
One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 – Beta Changelog September 2020

Hex Themes users have to think that way used for theme installation is hacky. There is a big chance new iteration of OneUI will block it and there will be no way to apply it any more.
I wish OneUI would let you use Icon Packs from the Google Play Store, like OxygenOS on 1+ phone does. These icons from the Samsung Theme store are pretty terrible and they dont cover as many icon as the Icon Packs do.

It can be initially tedious but using Nova Launcher allows you to customize your icons. So if you have some preferred set of icons (even like iOS ones from the JB community) you can manually apply them and save a back up.

The problem is that Nova forces the cover display to mimic the main display layout, which forced either poor use of the real estate on the main display, or extremely cramped cover display. On top of that, Nova + native gestures don't work too well and is a bit buggy. I've learned to appreciate Samsung's default home and use GoodLock + hex to make small changes.
But if OneUI were to allow us to use icon packs from the play store - I'd be absolutely besotted and would never even think about using Nova again. I hate ugly icons so much that I'm using Samsung's browser (which admittedly isn't bad at all since it works well on the Fold 2) because I hate looking at Google's ugly icon on my dock. I'll occasionally use Nova since it's already setup, but I miss bug-free native gestures + the awesome animations that come with the stock launcher.

I would use Action Launcher, but it doesn't work that well on this phone.

I'm looking into cloning KLWP as I've heard you can use a separate Preset on the cover so as not to have the issue you spoke about (& still use Nova).

I upgraded my Pixel 3a to Android 12 last night - stock OTA. Noticed today that websites that specify serif fonts for elements (and including the generic 'serif' fallback, so it's not a question of missing specific fonts) are now all displaying as sans-serif, both in Firefox in Chrome. Is this a general Android 12 issue, or is something up with my phone? And if it's a general Android 12 thing, are there Magisk or Xposed modules I can install to restore serif fonts? It's really messing with me.
(if you need an example, https://momijizukamori.dreamwidth.org should be entirely in serif)
EDIT: just to add - I'm aware of the Font Manager Magisk module, but that doesn't solve the problem because if I install a serif font though that, I then don't have sans-serif text anywhere. I want websites to be able to use both, which feels like it shouldn't be a big ask in 2022...
Hello All,
I've decided that I want to change my font throughout my whole device. I created a magisk module that basically replaced my system fonts. It appeared I only had 3 system fonts.
Roboto, OnePlus Sans, and One Sans.
I have most apps successfully changed but certain fonts are still unaffected such as unread email, browsers, and even my always on display.
I have included what I thought was every variety of these 3 fonts such as Roboto-Italic, roboto-bold - about 30 more variety if you get what I'm saying.
Does anyone have a master list in case I've missed a few? Or a easier way to achieve this?
If it matters the font I'm using is KG Feeling 22.
Thank you.
@BillGoss you helped me with the last module for my custom dpi maybe you have some suggestions?
Thank you so much.
Sorry, but I can't help you with this.

I suppose some apps, don't only use system fonts, but also have built-in ones.
Changing built-in app fonts may be difficult. I don't think changing font for all apps is possible, but i may be wrong.
In general system fonts you can replace via magisk modules (but you already know it).
