[SOLVED] Roboto Font Anyone? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I see a lot of mention of the Roboto Font for other phones but nothing for ours. Anyone have an .apk for this? Specifically for CM7.1?

It's not an apk, it's a ttf file. There's flashable zips around, just search Roboto flashable zip.

hey great thanks. found what I needed. appreciate it.

In case anyone else asks, the app font installer makes it really easy to choose between 100's of fonts.

+1. This is a great app. I like the INFECTED font

Or this...
You can also change your fonts in rom toolbox, I think it's actually the same font installer app. You have to download the fonts you want first however, but rom toolbox makes it easy to install them and does a bunch of other cool stuff.

the roboto font apk is on droid-life, under downloads. I flashed it yesterday, looks great.

Thanks for the tip! Flashed from there too.
Looking good; easier to read.

Hmmm.. looks a little odd to me. Not as crisp and clear as Stock Sense font. Kind of reminds me of Comic Sans. It's got a little bit of angle that makes it look cartoony...

Okay, I'm warming up to it, but it's very small at times. Anyone else experiencing this?

Size consistent throughout here.

I didn't like using it because on my gmail it made all the lines bold instead of just the new email headers. Maybe its because I don't run the stock density setting? Not sure.

[Q] how do I change overall font size?

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
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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.

[Help] Where's the font folder?

I looked around but not able to find my answer....
I see the font folder in /system/fonts but I don't think it's the correct one. How do I add font styles to show up directly under "display>screen display>font style"
Is there a way to just extract fonts lets say from another rom and copy and paste?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I found font switcher in the market that seems to work pretty well. But still would like to know where the fonts are hiding...

The app is called FlipFonts. Here's a thread that has a good many fonts you can install just like any app.

Juggernaut 4.1

How do I get rid of the green in the wifi and signal bars? And how to get the samsung font back in stock?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Unless you know how to edit images, then your only option is to flash a theme for 4.1. Look in the market for a font changer. There is one by a guy named jrummy that has alot of fonts and is pretty simple to use.
Thanks bro! Helped out alot

Theme help

Can anyone tell me what theme this is or where I can find something similar? I've looked at so many launchers and themes and just can't find anything as nice and simple
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Post help/questions in the Q/A, Help section. Not here.
From the screen shot I believe this theme is made by this application called
"Minimalistic Text"
Download from the given link below-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&hl=en
Thanks I got the app, looks good so far, but how about the homepage icons, they don't have icons just text. It looks great I want something like that.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Those are not just text, Those are icons.
you can make this type of icons with this application. Then with a icon changer or launcher like Nova/Apex you can change stock icons with these customized text base icons.
It was a different app by the same people called simple text but you got me on the right track, thanks a bunch my phone looks great

Little help with Slim Bean rom interface

I downloaded the Rom Slim Bean.
So far I'm loving it.
Now I believe this rom interface display is smaller, the dock look smaller, the battery status icon hour and the rest of them. The text is also smaller and I have no idea how to increaze the interface overall size. I know there is a text size option but it's not what I'm asking.
The problem is that all the themes from the app THEMER won't be adjusted correctly how they should. For example: One of the themes loaded and it was more to the right and the icons aren't place correctly and it interfere with different actions.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this small problem?
Thanks.
NOTE: Forgot to checkmark the QUESTION little box. -.-

It could be in settings then interface, I'm pretty sure somewhere in the settings. Just do a little exploring
