so i really liked slide reloaded v1 rom
but i didnt like how the font styling was it didnt seem to fit the phone and was hard for me to read.
is there a way to change just the font styling
i would think it could be as simple as changing the fonts folder with the one from CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA in the zip and reloading the rom
but im sure its not that simple
any thoughts?

Andriod Meets Ubuntu. Theme for G1, based on Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks to Stericson for all his help. Without him, this would not be possible. We were together able to figure out how to change fonts and resize fonts. Also thanks to him for supplying the empty update.zip file.
Instructions: rename to update.zip and rest same as everyother theme.

my final release will not change your fonts. if you guys want my changed version, you'll have to pm me.
Warning - might brick your phone. has been tested on jf 1.31. recommend to have dev bootloader installed just in case.
will post small updates from time to time.
This is the final version for this theme. Time to move on now
awe man, the distortion icons! I love those, I had downloaded them and thought about using them in a theme, they look good
Hey! How did you edit the font for the clock?
very nice work~
Any chance of an ADP1 version?
That looks really good. Is the notification bar transparent as well?
MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is great! love the boot scrren, the ubuntu symbol when you input the password. this is an amanzing themre! Great job!
REAL NICEEEE thnxxxxxxxxx
Theres something wrong with this theme. Once you install it, its like the font stays on the phone. I uninstalled this theme and installed two other ones to be sure, and the font remained the same! i also had trouble browsing through pictures and the name of some of my applications was "....."............???? =/ in order to fix the phone i had to reinstall RC30 which made me reinstall all my apps..big pain in the butt!
Awww... I was planning on doing a Tango theme for Android so it looked more like the default Ubuntu (or any GNOME distro for that matter) installation... It would look significantly different, so I'll probably make it anyways, but...
looks like he renamed the font he is using to the font the G1 uses droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf reinstalling a new theme unless it has custom font will not change it back to change it back you will have to reinstall jf rc30 or push the font back.I could be way off but that is how it looks to me. stericson if you read this can you add the original font to your original theme thx
Kron2 is correct. Thats how i did it, anyway for anyone who wants to go back to default fonts, i'll post an update with default font.
yo yo yo, get us the hook up with an ADP1 version if you don't mind. do you have a donation bucket?
theme is nice, especially the change in the unlock pattern, how did you change it? Would throttlelauncher be a source to these new patterns? If so how do you apply them?
Could we see further support/development for unlock patterns?
There will be an update sometime jan 13 or 14. my school started and dont have enough time to work on the theme anymore. I will still be working on it but not as much as before. Also major update this weekend.
ADP version coming this weekend

Done!
But I added it seperately. Just in case some people want to change themes but keep fonts or change fonts but keep themes.

The Best!
I just wanted to say that after trying most of these themes the past couple of days (the ones that worked), this by far is the best looking and most complete. You have outdone yourself.

Hey, can you post the default font update again?

I really would like to add a theme to my EPIC, but at the same time I would like to keep the same size FONTS that I currently have. I tried the Midnight Blue theme and LOVED it, except everything was smaller. Any thoughts? THANKS!
Simply delete the fonts folder before you flash the theme
I know I can change the font to a smaller font but the setting just don't seem to stick. How do I make it endure a reboot and stay? Thanks guys!

Not sure about this. I had the same issues with font on stock E4GT. But if you happen to be using GO Launcher, you can go into menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Scan font>Font
This will let you choose from any font currently on your phone, whether one you uploaded or one associated with an app. Quick, easy and it sticks. Unfortunately this only works with GO so if you don't like GO or want to stick with stock you could also try Font Changer or Metamorph, both work on stock TW or any 3rd party launcher.
I've never been able to get it to stick.
If you happen to me rooted you can also change the dpi for your phone with an app:
LCD Resolution
or
ROM Toolbox
Bewarned though, TW launcher doesn't look quite right and you will likely want a custom launcher. But it will do the trick.
Just_s I have GO launchee and my font isn't the problem. Its the size of the font :-( and for the other guy I have tried the density changer and like my keyboard to stay big and I have to go back to 240dpi to install almost anyapp which is not worth running the density changer. So any way to keep my font smaller ? Like u can do usinf spare parts but make it stick and stop reverting
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
Big headache here. I successfully loaded the Blu Kuban 1.0.5.1 ROM onto my E4GT; however, the new "skinned" keyboard with tiny font is killing my eyes. I haven't been able to find any information on how to change the keyboard font and/or enlarge the keyboard font size. I have scoured the internet and phone settings without success. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

You could try a newer version of Swype which isn't themed or another keyboard.
Mac,
Thanks for your suggestion. It appears that may be my only option. I checked out the Swype website, and they actually have another version out in beta that I can download and customize, though it still has bugs. Many thanks for your time and helpful feedback.
There are also lots of keyboards in the play store
Perfect Keyboard Pro is my recommendation. You can customize every aspect of it
If you want to give the 4.2 Android keyboard, Rujelus pulled it from my GSM GNex and deodexed and signed so you can install on any ROM. Its better than Swype. Or you can try changing font size in settings or change font altogether. If you want to try 4.2 keyboard...thanks go to Rujelus
