these dont change all the fonts from what i seen, I have tried fontomizer it downloaded the font and installed it, and applied from go launcher advanced menu. Somehow only go setting s changed but not the system settings and system font
Seemed like all the fonts changed for me with Metamorph. I used it to put the system font back in also on a ROM where the font was too small.
I tried font changer and interstingly..busybox cant access root... no idea why

This is the stock font just flash it.
I change my font after every rom flash back to Veggie Burger that I really like. After trying a couple of methods, this is the one that works for me.
I have 3 files saved to a folder on my sdcard labeled:
Clockopia.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
DroidSans.ttf
I copy these 3 files using Root Explorer and paste them in the /system/fonts folder and then reboot phone.
There are alot more .ttf files in this folder (not sure what they all do), but I have never had any problems with this method after flashing any rom (from EC05 to EH17).

I do it the same way, except I saved the font folder from an old version of bonsai rom to my sd card to copy back whenever I switch roms.
Custom font switcher does it too. Needs root and busy box.

Yes.
If you use Custom Font Switcher from the Market, you can always choose whatever you want, and go back to the old Stock Font whenever you want though, without the worries of what needs to be replaced using root explorer.

Try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821814&highlight=changing+fonts
You will need to download Metamorph - free on the market. That thread is old, but has a lot of fonts to choose from.
There are quite a few ways to change fonts since you are rooted (ADB push, root explorers, etc.) but this is the easiest.
Hope this helps!
You can also search for the free app on the market called font switcher something. Just search for "font switcher." It's the easiest I know of since it'll automatically download and apply fonts.

Probably you mean "Font Changer." I find it quite easy to install fonts with Font Changer. Just download the .ttf format of the font, copy it in the Font Changer folder, apply and reboot. The instructions are provided in the app interface.

okay so i dont really like sense's transition animations so i started searching for some new ones and came up with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920024
decided to share it with the G2/DZ community cause i know some of you guys dont like sense transitions either
im using virtous unity, i dont see why it woudnt work on any other rom
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS just so if you want the original transitions back or if anything goes wrong or if your rom is not compatible etc
i recommend using the metamorph method, its way easier
for those who arent familiar with metamorph u can dl it for free on the market and do the following:
1-download the transition youd like from here :
https://bitly.com/bundles/haxzamatic/1?preview=1
2-place the zip in the root of the sdcard (or any other folder you want)
3-open metamorph and select Unzip/Extract new theme
4-go to the root of your sdcard or the folder you made and select the zip
metamorph will extract the zip and a new window will pop up select close (pretty much your only choice)
5- tap where it says SubTheme: framework-res.apk
Located in /system/framework/
(Requires Reboot)
your device will reboot and there you have it new transitions!!
im using the fold ones myself and they look amazing!!
awesme.thanks
nice work. thanks

I tried this action but it did not work. I also think it screwed with the backlight on my keyboard? I realize this should happen but that is only thing I can think of that would have done it. Is there any way to reverse this?

if you restored your backup its like if you never tried this on your phone, so its something you did before or it can be due to the ROM youre using

Problem is, I've flashed a few ROMs since then. I need to find out when the system location is that contains the config. for the soft buttons and keyboard.

Is there anyway i can backup my whole ROM as a zip file? I want to be able to bring it to my computer, edit some png's, then reflash and have the modifications up. If there is such thing please let me know. I am extremely interested in this!!
Why not just transfer the rom.zip you used to flash and edit the framework-res and systemui.apk's and then gut a flashable zip and place those in appropriate folder and flash that? That's what I do if you need a plain empty flashable I can upload one for you
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Let me elaborate on that
You take a flashable that already contains an updater-script in it aka meta-inf.
Make a framework folder and this is where you will put your signed and renamed Framework-res.apk then make a folder named System and in system folder make an App folder and this is where you'll place the SystemUI.apk.
*note* you need to sign these when your done swapping pngs and rename them appropriately.
Once done sign the whole.zip boot into cwm and flash it this will replace the stock framework-res etc and you'll be good to go
http://db.tt/xfQOB8Kg
Use this .zip for your flashable this will do all the work in cwm mounting wise. Just delete the folders in the system folder and do what I told you above

What do you mean? All you'd have to do is open the zip and find the .apks extract them edit the pngs and sign them put them in the flashable and flash it... I'm not understanind your issue

its because what i want is literally like a clockworkmod backup but as a flashable zip. This is not possible is it? I want all my settings and referennces to be saved along with my messages etc.

No if you create this flashable what you edit to put it this it will only change what your flashing like if you put nothing in the flashable then nothing will change. If you want to flash a vending.apk put in this flashable and flash it that's all that's going to change is the replacing of the market...

Lol if you have windows 32bit ill find my installer on my pc for the apksigner and ill upload it for you xD
If you plan on editing an applications png then once you've opened it and replaced said pngs then it needs to be resigned and renamed to not have the "signed" in it
Signing means its certifed and has the ability to be installed as application

lol upload it please. im using apk manager 4.9 but man this really tough. can u elaborate a bit more? im so sorry lol im just not grasping it.
do not give up on me!! lol
how bout this look: so im trying to make a minor change to an app just for fun. its airdroid. so is the first step to extract the apk or to decompile?
and lol i was trying to accomplish the task of making mynandroid backup a flashable zip but this interests me to.
So, lets get clear, what exactly r u helping me do now? In my head im thinking ur trying to help me edit an app and then install it in my phone right?
if im wrong then tell me what we are trying to do!! lol
Yeah that sounds like its much more difficult then what I use what I use you drag and drop the finished apk and it signs it lol simple give me a minute to find it upload it and paste a download link..pc sucks arse phone is much faster....
Edit: yes I'm helping you edit an apk and then have it install on the phone or be able to be pushed to the /system/app folder...

Hello everyone...
When I was in 4.1.2, I can change my font easily. I install apk font package and use it simple.
But on 4.2.2 I can't change it. I can select samsung default fonts only. When I install apk font package I can't change to it's fonts. I have an error like that: The font package unsupported on your device!
Any way for this issue? Can anyone help me?

If rooted try rom toolbox, there is a free and paid version in play store. It also has themes, splash screens, and of course fonts.
I'm starting to hate JB 4.2
I'm having the same problem. I tried to flip fonts but does not work. RomToolBox but neither worked (my phone is rooted). And to top it off, I tried to apply the "font.zip ubuntu" through CWM and it did not work. I do not know what else to try ...
Update:
Applying the zip via CWM it overwrites the "default font" BUT it is not automatically set. After reboot, you must select one other source, such as "Choco cooky" and then select the default font again, hence the source you made the flash appears.

iFont works if you're rooted. I've used it with a galaxy s4 and g flex.
I do not have any problems installing flip fonts on my Note 8 4.2.2
But for the people that do have problems.
Give this a try...download the flip fonts you like and copy them into.... system/app with root explorer and them from there try to install them see if that works for you.
Hoping this helps
