There isn't an option on the settings or the developer settings (like on the 5). I tried some root apps, but none of them worked. Are we stuck with the one font then?

Hi,
I am trying to modify the icon size of apps and number of icons which are shown on the home screen of my Phone.
I found that changing ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop affects the complete system and it also not useful to change the size of icons shown on home screen.
I tried to change the android:maxRows="3" android:maxItemsPerRow="3" android:maxItems="6" in framework-res.apk package by following the advice given here. However it did not help me either.
Above method included retrieving of framework-res.apk, modifying the contents from layout-port directory, creating the zip and installing it. Which I did successfully without any error.
Currently I have 4x4 settings for the home screen, i.e. I can have maximum 16 icons on the Home page; and for example, I want to change it to 3x2 so that there can be only 9 icons on the home screen.
I also want to customize the icon sizes.
How can I do by modifying framework-res.apk or some other package from existing ROM?
Just to make sure: I don't want to install new application or theme, rather want to understand how it is done.
The device I work on has ICS installed. (I am using ICS Arco's CM9 for Samsung Galaxy S plus device)
Same here, but a little different
i'd like to know if it's possible to change to a 5x5 icon layout. had Android Revolution 5.1 and noticed on install that it gave that option. however, i just went back to stock rom so i can get my KitKat update. if it is possible, will i be able to do it on KitKat?

Install apex launcher there you get many options to change grid size which will in turn allow you to have 5x5 grid
Hi,
I am now unable to change the "Unknown Sources" setting, after flashing some roms.
The option gets selected but when re-opening the settings is disabled again.
I tried removing all data possible with TWRP, it doesn't change anything.
It's the only setting not working, but I really need it, to install F-Droid for example.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Hi,
- I've rooted my one+ One phone and have TWRP installed.
- I'm running Cyanogenmod 12.1. (Android 5.1.1)
- I have Xposed installed and Ifont with it's per-app module activated in Xposed.
I'm trying to do two things: 1. Change the system font. 2. Once the system font is changed, change the clock font back to the factory font.
Using Ifont, I successfully change the system font. However, I am unsuccessful at changing the clock font back to default android font or any other fonts without soft-bricking the phone after reboot. In Ifont, I go to per-app function. I select the clock app and change the font family to the default android font. But once I reboot, the phone gets stuck at the Cyangenmod boot logo. Luckily, I have a back up which I restore afterwards. I have tried with the google clock app as well as the Chronus widget.
Could anyone help me achieve this step by step or is this not possible to do. I have tried different things I found on the internet but none work or don't apply to me.
Thank you very much.
After trying to install a newer version of live wallpaper picker (and failing) I tried to remove the original version with an uninstaller. Now I can't set any live wallpapers, and any live wallpaper picker apk I chosoe all show the conflicting package error. What should I do?

Enable (or disable if already enabled) Secure Startup in settings, reboot the phone and try installing the APK again
Should work after that

Weird, my phone doesn't show an option for Secure Startup in my settings. I know where it should be, and it only has options for encrypting my device and sd. Is there anything else I can try?

If you have rooted it then it disappears, secure startup is the only known workaround to install updated system apks
Choice would be to flash the same stock ROM again over the top to remove root, which would also fix the wallpaper picker, long as you choose HOME_CSC and not just CSC in ODIN nothing will be lost
HOME_CSC = No Wipe
CSC = Wipe
Try: Settings - Apps - press the three dots in the right upper conner - System apps - Wallpapers
FORCE STOP - Storage - CLEAR CACHE - CLEAR DATA
ONE UI CUSTOM FONTS
Detailed Guide and Troubleshooter
Google Fonts
May 20231) Download and install the official Samsung Sans system font from the Galaxy Store. This is the non-modified version for creating the initial backup. Once installed, manually change your system font to Samsung Sans from Display > Font Settings.
2) In Samsung Cloud, create a backup of only the settings while your font is set to Samsung Sans. The first two steps only need to be done once for all subsequent custom fonts.
3) Uninstall or update over the old Samsung Sans font with the new custom zFont Samsung Sans font file which contains the font you want to change to. This uses the same package name (com.monotype.android.font.samsungsans) as the official font to trick cloud into thinking it's legit.
zFont 3 Download: Click Here
Attached are 3 font APK files that can be directly installed onto your device for use with this workaround. If you use these files you don't need to install zFont. Google Sans Regular and Bold (can only have 1 or the other installed at 1 time). Product Sans Black.
NOTE: There's also an option to use other fonts in zFont instead of Samsung Sans, but if you choose those, you'll have to create a new backup with the official version of that font selected.
4) Change your system font to "Default" prior to final step. This is IMPORTANT.
NOTE: Your custom font should be present within your font list after installation. When updating custom fonts, it might appear as if the correct font is already selected but your new font won't actually become active until you refresh it by unselecting and reselecting the font which requires the Samsung Cloud workaround since you can't select a modified font manually from the font menu or you'll get an error.
5) In Samsung Cloud, select the option to restore. Uncheck all options except "Settings" to restore only the settings that you backed up in step #2. While it's restoring, you'll see the text on the screen update to your target custom font prior to reaching 100% complete if it's successful. Once the restoration is finished, you'll get a dialog popup asking if you want to delete old backups, select the NO response so the backup can be used for future fonts.
6) Verify everything worked correctly by opening your font settings and making sure your font has changed from "Default" to the custom font you installed in step #3. Once verified, restart your device to apply the new font system wide.
NOTE: Not all text will be replaced with your updated font until after a system reboot. If your font is still set to Default, restarting your device won't change anything. Continue to the troubleshooting steps below if you're positive you performed all these steps correctly.Subsequent UpdatesTo update your font while a backup of the device's settings is already created (with the correct font file selected per step #2), just update custom font file, change font to default, restore settings, restart device (or just start at step #3). No need to create a new backup everytime you load a new font unless the original backup was lost.TROUBLESHOOTINGSamsung Cloud custom font workaround will not work if you debloated your system applications. Samsung Cloud relies on several pre-installed applications to restore all settings back to its former backed up state, especially fonts since it seems like getting the font to restore is the toughest setting to fix if debloated. I'm not sure 100% exactly which applications affect this, but I've narrowed it down to Samsung apps that are capable of being backed up within Samsung Cloud.MUST BE INSTALLED AND ENABLED
