[Q] Font Change - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a relatively simple way to change the font on the epic? I'm running ACS 1.1 and was using AA's revolution remix theme but after a couple of weeks my phone started acting up. Performed a restore in clockwork mod, re-flashed theme and in a couple of weeks the phone was again unresponsive. So once again I am without a custom theme, which isn't so bad, but I REALLY miss the font in revolution remix, it was so much easier on the eyes. Can anyone offer some insight?

Type fresh app in the market.... you will also need andexplorer.... I use the font from the android logo

You can google .ttf fonts to download, save the fonts you want to try/use onto your SD card. Then, download FontChanger from the market and load the fonts. Very fun to experiment with a lot of the fonts. LOL

Yes, you can do the same for any theme. Just make sure you delete the other folders except the fonts folder.

Custom Font Changer from market works, but when selecting different fonts, everything always appears either completely in bold or all regular. For example, gmail messages are all coming up as bold regardless of whether message is read or unread. With original SRF 1.2 font, gmail read messages are not bold.
Probably a silly question, but am I missing a setting in the app or something else that will address this?

Any of the fonts should work with eb13. A font is a font.

Yep, as the person above said, fonts are just fonts.
If you want to manually change your fonts, name whichever TTF fonts you want to use as DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf and copy (using either adb push or Root Explorer) to /system/fonts on your phone. Reboot, and that should do the trick.
If you're looking for flashable font packages, look here:

[Q] How to Change fonts in Epic 4G

Hi folks,
Does anyone know how to change fonts for Epic 4G. I have been looking all over the place, found none. There is an app called font changer in the market. But it doesn't support SPH-D700 ( Epic 4G).

There's a thread in the general android theme section with 100's of flashable fonts in it. As an fyi, the font's are in the system/fonts folder of the device.

I'm just gonna point out that the MIUI font makes stock EG22 with the TW4 launcher look amazing. Somehow makes the screen look nicer.
That's not true. Font changer works just fine on my epic 4g.

[Q] getting rid of dropdown animation

I flashed a nice theme but heat the heartbeat animation in the dropdown, makes my phone lag. Any way I can remove it with maybe an app like root explorer or ninjamorph? I just want that animation gone, thnx.

All that mod is, is a SystemUi.apk just move the original one to your sdcard and move to system app or where ever the apk is located in the Rom. Or just reflash the Rom.
If you reflash rom, you'll lose the rest of the theme that you like.
Best to just put both rom and theme zips on a PC, and use 7zip to put the systemUI apk from the rom into the theme zip. (Overwrite the one in theme zip)
However, you may lose themed icons in notification bar. So, to use a scalpel rather than a chainsaw, (and this may not work cuz I don't know how the heartbeat effect was implemented) use 7zip to open (not extract) theme zip. Find systemUI apk, open it, find images you don't like (prob in Res/drawableHDPI), and delete them.
Back out of archive, re-save, and reflash theme. Hope this helps at all.

A bunch jaja cause I have 4 Evos home till next weekend all with different themes, mine with Red Venom on Shooter v2.2, but one has a theme I dnt know which one and is on synergy and has the animation on the pulldown, but I ran the v6 script and it seems to have removed the overall lag on that phone and the pulldown doesnt lag either, so I'm pretty much good right now

You could look at WP7 theme (link in my sig). The bubles are colored there. It might give you the clues you need.

In his sig are all the tutorials to learn how to do it yourself. He said it is easy. I think it is xml editing and knowing the hex code for colors if I remember what he was trying to tell me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Here's a simple way.
1.) Download a theme for EC05 with a messaging app you like.
2.) Open it in 7zip or winrar(do not unzip)
3.) Delete all folders(if any) in the root of the zip except for system and META-INF.
4.) In the system folder delete all folders except app.
5.) Inside the system/app folder, delete everything except MMS apk.
6.) Back out of the zip
7.) Copy to SD, and flash through CWM
Follow that for any system/app.

Good. Grab those tutorials I mentioned in Impaler's sig. Then you can start themeing lots of stuff. The only drawback to themeing non-system apps is they won't update, so keep that in mind if you theme an app that gets frequent updates.
Also Shane's themes often pack them seperately. Check Honeycomb Fusion explosion. It's my fav and the mms theme is very cool.
Glad you got it going. If you don't mind me asking, which MMS did you choose?

hey thanks for the reply but I know about changing TW fonts via display but I was wanting some kind of mod that changes ALL FONT CLASSES. for example, on TW when u change the font if u open chrome majority of the web page font is still "stock". the address bar usually has the new font but nothing else. I was looking for something for AOSP or TW that changes all ur system fonts

I'm looking for this same thing. Although, using the Font changer apps on AOSP I can't get the whole system to change. Usually just the normal font is changed. Bold, Italic, etc. don't change. How do you get all of them to change? Any help is appreciated.
