I installed cm7 and was running the ICS theme no problem, so then I took it to the next level and installed the roboto font, just to find out I don't like it.... it just doesn't fit my phone as I hoped it would. Is there anyway someone could post the stock text. .ttf files for me to switch back? Thanks

Font installer in the market has Droid Sans as an option. It's called "stock"
If you used the font changer app, you should be able to day go to defaults or something like that, and it reverts.

Thanks guys, I just pulled the filed from cm7 in root explorer and moved them into the .fontchanger folder.

There's the an app that I have, I think it's callled 'font selector' or something like that. It's in the market and free from what I remember. You should try it. The font list is updated really often too.
I tried that one. It sucks. The font packs don't look right in terms of formatting. I removed that app quick

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?
Anyome able to get another font installed? When i install another font I get a bunch of fc, then a reboot and no new font. Know it works on jb as ive had it on evo3d with jb.

Nevermind. Found out I had snother font selected thsn default font when I applied the new font. Changed to default, reapplied and rebooted. Worked like a charm.
Incase anyone else encounters ssme thing.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to manually add fonts to the galaxy S3 jellybean tw rom. By manually I mean using root explorer and putting files in a particular folder if that can be done. I don't want to buy a font app that just does a transfer I can do myself. Please and thank you
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
You can, you would just need to put the correct file in the systems font folder.
The fonts in that folder don't appear in the touchwiz font selection screen under display settings->font

I see then; well honestly, you're better off just downloading an app to do it; as you're have to change everything in the system ui to that new ont. There are TONS of free root font changer apps. Have a go at them.

I would like to learn the areas of the ui I can edit to get that effect. I'm on XDA to learn anyway. I just finished a semester of C++ in my pursuit of an electrical engineering degree so I'm more interested in the journey than the effect anyway

You can install fonts manually in the system/fonts folder but it takes time... you need to find a font that has all the different font "states" (light, bold, italic, condensed/ all combinations of these) and should be in .ttf format
So here's what you need to do:
1.Make a nandroid !FIRST!
2.Download your font
3.Use a root browser and find system/fonts
4.Locate the main fonts the system uses (ICS&JB use roboto)
5.Write down all the font state names that begin with roboto (ie roboto-italic)
6.Rename the font states from your downloaded font to the corresponding roboto font states (font-italic to roboto-italic)
7.Paste all renamed font states in system/fonts
8.Set permissions for each pasted font state
9.Boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik & set permissions
10.Reboot and enjoy!

Just Google search for flip fonts. There are tons of free ones on the internet. They install like apks.

I have been using the blue glass Samsung Keyboard Mod By akapaul26for a couple of weeks now, and I love that keyboard theme. I was wondering if anyone knows how to theme the Swype keyboard? I have been looking into it, but I can't really find a good thread on XDA.
I tried to find the apk file after I bought Swype off of the play store yesterday, and I can't find it in either the /system/app folder, or the /data/app folder. I was going to take that apk file, and try to experiment with some of the image files inside, and hopefully create my own custom Swype theme.
So if anyone knows how to theme the Swype keyboard, please direct me to a thread, or please share with me your secrets!
Thanks in advance...

The easiest way would be to pull the images you want to use out of the themed apk apk rename them to the ones you want to replace in swype and overwrite them.

I tried doing exactly that, but for some reason when I try to replace the Stock "pkg.apk" with the one i had my custom images put into, Root Explorer says I can't complete the paste action because I don't have enough free space, when I clearly have enough space on my phone. I tried changing the permissions for the "/mnt/asec/com.nuance.swype.dtc-1" folder (the folder that contains swype's pkg.apk), but after changing the permissions to RWX-RWX-RWX, I still can't replace the modified pkg.apk.
Also, I don't know how to use Android SDK, so I don't know how to push files and folders using adb.exe, maybe I'll learn tomorrow after work.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Yeah, I did that this morning, then pushed the pkg.apk in the right folder. When I changed my input method to swype, I saw my new custom keyboard! :victory:
BUT! After I rebooted my phone, I went to text my wife, and my Samsung keyboard popped up, and when I went to change my input method back to swype, it was no longer an option! In fact, I had to go back into the Play Store and reinstall Swype.
Might that issue have occurred because i'm modifying a paid app from the Play Store? Should I go into Titanium Backup and Detach "Swype + Dragon" from the Market?
Thanks again in advance.
Swype beta comes with themes. Not the one from play but from their direct site.

I don't mean to bump an old thread, but did anyone get anywhere with this? I would love to be able to change some of the colors on these swipe keyboards. Most of the themes are laughable, and a few are tolerable at best.
