The one thing I really liked about the Desire HD rom is the smaller font size across the entire rom. Is there anyway I can do this to other roms? Preferably in an easy way

If you flash in a font with a smaller x-height and a little tighter letter spacing, you'll get a slightly smaller font overall.
A good candidate is flashing in Microsoft's Calibri font for DroidSans, that's what I've been using on my phone. Along with Consolas for DroidSansMono and Cambria for DroidSerif.
I use "LCD Density Changer" from the market... I luvit.
I just downloaded the free version of LCD Density Changer, but it didn't seem to work for everything (i.e. Messaging app, etc)
Is there an easy way to flash fonts. I seem to remember a program on the g1 but don't remember the name

There's Type Fresh in the Market, but it's pretty straightforward. I rename them on my desktop first, then use adb to push them into /system/fonts, and then use adb shell to chown root:root /system/fonts/* and chmod 644 /system/fonts/*
For some reason type fresh isn't working on the leaked incredible rom from 10/13, at least for me. I'll have to try adb out, cause there's no way that shouldn't work. Thanks for the help!

Woah. I thought I was the vibha only one who like the hd font size... I need smaller fonts too. This screen is too small for the huge fonts that the desire z rom inflected on my eyes...

No, I think Android definitely needs a built in font size selector. I know some ppl like the larger font, but I think the smaller font just has a more streamlined look.

Does anybody know how to change a font size, especially for the contacts?
By any application, mod, trick or anything else?
You can download an app call "spare parts" from the market .it will let you change the font size.

i'm pretty sure the only way to do this at this point is to change your screen density which will make everything appear bigger/smaller, including your font. You need to have root to change your screen density, and there are a variety of apps that can help you do this on the market.
the app "font changer (root)" by "Martino" can change screen density. It is mostly meant for changing fonts on rooted phones that do not have the ability to already, like our t989's, but also has the feature your looking for included.
You can get spare parts from the market. Has the ability to change font size.

Hi all,
After coming over from the EVO 3D, I found the HUGE fonts, etc on the SGS2 disconcerting and ugly. I longed for my small clear fonts and tight spacing on the EVO3D qHD screen.
So I just downloaded LCD Resolution, a free app from the Market and set the Resolution to 200. Wow, what a difference! It is now just like looking at my EVO 3D with a better screen.
Awesome.
P.S., If you are using LauncherPro which doesn't have the ability to resize icons or fonts as Go Launcher does you will find this especially helpful. I have found Go Launcher to be an FC fest on the SGS2.
The resolution changing doesn't size right with some stock apps so I stay away from it. If the font is to big or not to your liking just change font size and style...try a ics ROM it has the option to change the font size built into the ROM.

What rom are you running?
LCD Density Pro set to 200 causes my phone to freeze on boot with FC15
I used LCD Density Pro to fix market on Touchpad.
Switched my LCD Density to 200 using ROM Toolbox, no problems there on CM9.
I had used LCD Resolution...with my Thunderbolt and ET4G- until I started getting incompatibility to download apps from Google Play (Marketplace). So if you do experience that, you may have to uninstall the app.
Hi guys. Thanks for the responses.
A couple asnwers here regarding LCD Density Pro. Have no idea as my OP is regarding an app called LCD Resolution. I am running the latest EL29 modem. I've tried this on a number of the top roms and all worked fine.
The benefit of this is that it also makes my icons smaller which was the problem when using LP on this device.
I've now set mine to 190 because I like that even better. Sorry it doesn't work for some. Works perfectly for me.

Where is the font size option on tw ics roms? See the font style but I've only seen font size on CM9 roms.
I tried changing the font via rom toolbox on the newest fc15 but it only changed in apps, not the whole rom. Weird.

For anyone who is using changed LCD density and having issue with market download, check this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529227
It's always working fine for me for both GB and ICS.
For any questions, please let me know.
Is there a specific density that keeps the dialer from shifting or a fix?
I love 200 but the dialer is way off.
Thanks

You have to use ROM toolbox to make it stick.

I want to get bigger icons so I was wondering what the DPI's are that I can use, because if I use the wrong ones it might screw op my phone right?
Or is there any other way to increase icon size?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Dry decreasing the dpi, i think that will lower it, and u wont mess it up as long as u dont have it completely changed. Use an app from the market and find one you like and then change it in the build.prop to make it permanent

So I can choose whatever I like?
Would 300 work? It'ts at 320 now.
Just tried changing to lower DPI and it made everything smaller, I only want to increase the icon size:s...

Well if decreasing it made things smaller then i think you can figure out how to make things bigger, and remember to do it in small increments until you find what you want

please correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think you can change icon size in sense drawer. With ADW launcher or Nova its possible.
Density with 192 dpi are no problem but it ist realy small...
I use 240 dpi
Using the Nova Launcher, back on my Wildfire I could change icon size easily with ADWLauncher.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
ok, may you use following option: (root needed)
get root browser lite from the market
- open /system/build.prop
- search the line:"ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX"
- the XXX is your density change as you wish (try 360 | 320 is stock)
- save it (an build.prop.bak will be created with your original settings)
- reboot
I tried up to 450. Its possible but there u got little problems.
stumpyz9 mentioned this way before...
This will increase everything. Not only your icons...
So the only way to just increase the icons would be to get ADWLauncher again?

I think so. I was pretty sure the there is an option for icon change in nova but I don't find it right now. Sorry.
You can change your desktop icons with "desktop visualizer" by adding them as a widget. But I haven't tried that.

Can't find it either.
I don't need everything to be bigger, only the icons.
the desktop visualizer method will only change size of your desktop icons!
get desktop visualizer from the market
install and create a widget "desktop visualizer 2x2(?)"on the desktop. size depends on you.
click widget
select symbol (app icon)
select action -> launch app
confirm with ok
your done.
you may change size by click, hold and choose edit.
