Installing Custom Emojis causes font to become Bold? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

One of the main reasons I rooted my phone is to get the iOS emojis, as I personally dislike Samsung's take on them. The only issue is that when I install the iOS emojis from Magisk Manager, the system font is also affected, as it becomes bold (will provide screenshots). If anyone knows how to fix this, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :good:

How to Link to a different font, and not just replace a font

Hi All,
I have done a ton of searching the last few days and still have not come up with a specific answer. I am looking to link my lock screen font to a new font, and not just change or replace the font.
I am running a Moto DroidX with 2.3.3 (605) and using Go Launcher EX... just incase any of it matters.
My clock is not pulling from Clockopia.ttf, instead its pulling from the same font the rest of the system is (such as notifiers and such), and that is DroidSans-Bold. To test and make sure I was correct, I replaced the DroidSans with some wacky font, and it turned every peiece of system based font into the wacky one, clock and notifications included.
Because of this I am unable to easily change just the clock font. I wanted to replace the clock font with an invisible one so I could have a simple and easy way for my lock screen to look directly at my home screen with no clutter. I have read a few apps let you replace the lock screen, but don't really want to run anything new as a constant process just to hide a font. I'm also satisfied with the basic structure and functionality of the default lock screen minus the time and verizon banner. Does anyone know the specific config file and location where I can specify which font the lock screen pulls from?
Are there any apps, free or paid, that will help me accomplish this exact task? What I most liked about the invisible font was that it's easily reversible and all I had to do was backup the original font file. I've already bought several good utilities and am not affraid to pay for one more as long as it does what I want in a simple and reversible way... and Ideally will not run anything full time backround services.
Thanks.
Booo! No takers with some info on this one?

{HELP} IOS Emoji w/ Roboto Font

Hi Everyone,
I've searched this forum extensively and can't find what i'm looking for. I know others have asked as well, but is there anyway (without root) to get ios emojis with the roboto font. The apps out there ( Emoji Font for flipfont) the font is absolutely hideous. If someone could even explain how I could extract the emoji font and combine it with a roboto tff or something I could try that. I know everyone will say for me to just root, but it is a corporate phone and I really don't feel like going down that road with this phone (I've rooted personal phones in the past with success, just can't do it in this particular scenario).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks.
You didn't happen to get any luck? I'm also searching for another font with ios emojis.

Use Certain Elements of a Theme?

Dear all awesome techies here,
I was wondering if I could get certain elements of a theme instead of the whole thing. I mean, without modding/rooting/being a techie myself.
Basically what I'm trying to do is to change my keyboard, phone log and phone buttons to black background/white text.
There are many themes that have that which I've used before, but I'm in love with the new icons that came with the Galaxy S8+ so I don't want to use the whole thing.
Samsung theme store icon hack - Use icon only from any theme
Samsung theme added a new option in nougat for note 5 and other devices to change only icons. The problem is that icon library is quite limited. Although some themes have great icons but do let you apply icons alone (not so thoughtful of Samsung).
This method here let you use any samsung theme icon without applying that theme, Follow the complete guide here on XDA

[REQUEST] changing default emojis with andromeda

Hi, I just started using substratum a few weeks ago and one of my favorite features is the ability to change the system fonts to others, including some that change the default system emojis to the iOS ones, since that's what I was looking for a long time (Samsung emojis are just horrible even in oreo). My only problem is that all the overlays that I've tried change not only the emojis, but the font as well, changing it for the default iOS one, which (in my opinion) doesn't suit android quite as well as the default Samsung font. I was wondering if the font I'm looking for (default Samsung font + iOS emojis) already existed or if someone could create it. (Please don't suggest using some root method because rooting is not an option for me) thanks in advance!

Question How to change Lockscreen/AOD clock font only in OneUI 4.1

I like using the Default (Roboto) font but the Samsung font used for the Lockscreen and AOD clock is ugly and has inconsistent spacing. Changing the system font to any other option changes the clock style. When I use a font installer to install Roboto, it does change the clock, but creates an issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps. Yes, I also tried a variable font version as well. I realize that Samsung is likely using multiple font files to create Default and the font installer is limited. I also tried GoodLock with Clock Face but almost all centered options use the ugly Samsung font too.
Does anyone know how to change just the Lockscreen and AOD clock fonts? Back in the day, someone was able to modify Good Lock to give extra options but I'm hoping there is a simpler solution. Thanks in advance.
Hello. I have the exact same thoughts about the default One UI lockscreen font. Could you please share a bit more details on the Good Lock extra options?
Btw, I did try to install the system font with the Roboto TTF file like you mentioned in the OP and the lock screen looks much better now. I do get your point about "issue where font weight and spacing are incorrect in many apps", but fortunately for me, WhatsApp is the only app where I see this. And it does not look all that bad. So I believe I'm going to stick to this way.
Here's how:
Download 'SetEdit (Settings Database Edit)' from Google Play Store.
Open and find 'theme_font_clock' row, then tap it.
Tap 'Edit Value' and input with your font path addreses (*example: /storage/emulated/0/My Fonts/DS-DIGIB.TTF).
Tap 'Save Changes' and you're done!
Take a look!
*supports .ttf and .otf formats
works without root
Found it on reddit

Confirmed, does NOT work in OneUI 5.0. Was excited too.
I hope there will be another way...
