Hey there!
I have made a new app for change font size editor in all android system.
This app doesn't stay in background as a service. It change font size, reboot phone and keep the new font size for ever (if you don't change using the program) without run in background!
If you want give it a look try it, download from market:
Font Size Editor
This app is compatible with ICS, JB and Gingerbread.
It also can install roboto fonts in GB roms with a simple click :good:
This app doesn't change DPI, it works directly on the font
For our device is a good app IMO.
I have made it for myself, than I decided to put it on the market
It's really good on AOSP roms and Sense roms where you can't change text size from spare parts like CM roms.
It's good also in ICS roms, because you can reduce or increase the font size even more than you can do from system settings.
If you like my app, help me to stay awake to study: donate me a coffee from the coffee machine of my university with donate version from market
Font size editor donate
Hope it will be usefull
useful toool try it thanks!!
Thanks!
This program is the best!
I moved back to gingerbread from ics. But the font size was too big.
I've tried out a lot of programs, but all have some bug... And then i found this thread :victory: Your program is the best, THANKS!
Keep up the good work!
Sorry for my bad english
It's nice to know that this little tool is still useful
Thank you))

If you installed Visual Studio 2010 on your PC, you can simply go to "C:\Windows\Fonts\" dirctory..
and select this Family Font "Segoe WP" which stands for Segoe Windows Phone.
And this font is useful for themes devs and apps devs to create a real WP7 theme or app.
For those who do not have VS2010, simply download the attached file.
Thanks for sharing this
very nice, thanks
Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for!
any chance you could just zip up the fonts vs. having an exe file? thanks
here you go!
Awesome, thanks for this. Now to muck around changing system fonts on my HD2..

You can simply unzip that .exe (i.e. using 7zip).

Of course you don't, because you must install also Visual Studio Express For Windows Phone, it's free @ Microsoft.

how do you change the font sizes in WP7 , I posted this in another thread ,but maybe you guys know, in contacts , the font color is the same as the tile color , can I change the font color in contacts and still have a different tile color , also the size of the font in contacts is so small you need reading glasses to see it, where in the registry can I change the sizes?
These are taken from windows ce , same location, not sure what is what yet
System HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\SysFnt
Menu bar HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
Pop-up menu HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt

Isn't this font identical to Segoe UI, the primary UI font for both Windows Vista and 7, which you therefore certainly already have on your system?
i am new user of android i bought Galaxy s2 about three weeks ago so transform form Nokia so dont know much i have ginger bread is there anyway to change or simple reduce the font size to very low overall i like the small font.but cant figure out how ..couple of problem more like si there any way to change teh theam i see in google play but cant figure out how to apply them same goes for laucher please help,
Go to System Settings >> Display. There wou will find the option to change your font type and font size.
nope there is only style option three of them not a size option
Download fronts packs from play store and apply any small front tht sud do the work for uh...
Or if you are rooted... Then use rom tool box... From play store it has lots of fronts small big as uh want...
Cheers

Also you can install "font changer" and change any font you want. instead of installing a complete font pack, it can change fonts seperately. and it lets you use your normal ttf fonts from your computer.
I also want to change font size not font style. Tried big font but always restart my foreground app when turning my phone.

To use themes you'll need to install a 3rd party launcher, such as go launcher, adw, or nova, etc. Thee are many lunchers to choose from and they give you much more customizability over stock/default launcher.

try SpareParts app see if it works on ics, or flash CM9 rom samsung removed the "font size" feature from ics
If your phone is rooted, you can try to change the DPI with an app like DPI Changer.
(DPI Custom : 212 is great)
RE: How to customize my phone to this extent...
Hello,
Before I begin, yes, I understand that I am new and that this is my first forum posting, please, do not judge myself.
---------------
Anyway, I'm a new to the whole customization scene. I stumbled across a website named 'mycolorscreen' (I can't link due to a lack of postings), some of the designs that our human race creates are simply beautiful... but, there is a flaw... a big flaw on my part, I have no-idea how to re-create any of them. I've been told it's simple... but I just cannot get my head around.
I am going to be as blunt as humanly possible when I say, how do I make this exact design for my device (again, I can't link the URL);
mycolorscreen(.com)/2012/08/10/wow-fantastic-baby/
I've been searching for the past hour on how-to-do-so, I now have a severe headache.
I'm sorry if there's a tutorial that has been posted already, but again, I am new here, so you'll have to bare with me.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Regards - Sgt
It looks like just heaps of Widgets added to the home screen using desktop visualiser mate. First of all get that. Then get some images you want as the tiles, and add widget

It just custom icon set and not interactive..
There is link for custom icons set in comments.
You can try launcher 7 for this type of customization.
It's all Desktop Visualizer with just different sizes & icons - nothing else.
Get 3 homescreens, set these: ://dl.dropbox.com/u/http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73796776/73796776/Screenshot W8 style.rar as individual wallpapers, using something like 'Multipicture live wallpaper'.
Download 'Desktop virtualizer' and set the widget sizes according to the size of the icons on the wallpaper. I think they'll be 1*1 or 2*2, you may need to change your launchers homescreen grid size. Then set the desktop virtualizer widgets to open the specified apps. (Set the widget that is over the 'gallery' icon to open the gallery app). Hope this helps (sorry if it didn't, PM me of you need more info/help).

OK, so I am planning to release some icons for the Nexus (or any real 720p device) but I am stuck.
I used to theme for the iPhone jailbreak community, and I had been commented on how good my work is so Photoshop is a breeze for me, I just have a few questions..
1- What is the default length and width of an app, especially since it is over 300ppi? I need a base to start icons on.
2- for launchers, is there a specific way to package up all the icons and make it change the drawer icons too?
3- how can I test my icons on my own device without permanently changing the icon? (I am ROOTED)
4- If there is a tutorial on android theming, please feel free to link me?
Theming for iPhone and winterboard was easy. Package it up, name the folder, select it and it changes the icons. I am wondering if there is also a similar way.
Thanks for your time, please leave your comments on where I can get started.

Take a look at this:

Beamed via Nexus 4
I don't think that's what you're after since you don't seem to be looking for themeing instructions for your own app but rather for the OS. You should take a look at the Theme chooser in cyanogenmod and maybe a tutorial on how to do those themes. Otherwise you will find many aren't cross compatible between launchers so find the launcher you like the best and develop for that one specifically.

The first thing you're going to need to do is download the android SDK and apktool. You'll need an XML editor as well. Theming for android is a lot more complicated than it is for the iPhone

I'm in the same boat coming from 4 years of iPhone themeing.
I used MyHome launcher when i had a gs3 for 4 days and it was pretty easy to theme. Hoping to get MiUi rom for nexus 4 when my phone geTs delivered tomorrow.
Well if you want to mod some apps, you'll need: (not to make it from 0)
- APKtool (to "extract&build" apps) its on xda...
- Some basic knowledge, as:
· Be careful with those images with an extension like ".9.png" , you'll have to download sdk and its a lil more complex .... (sometime its ok, but others it looks weird :silly: , so you can try but always have a copy of original ) :victory:
· If you want just make icons start doin at 96x96 (xhdpi default) :highfive:
So what's the trick yo get the action name for apps to out in the XML? I found a web page that you an search and I added hulu plus icon to a theme (apktool to unpack, nodded files, repacked and then resigned with a script I found for Mac) but how do I get the right string to change the camera app that's built into cm10 ROM and none of the themes I've downloaded have changed.

Just got my Note 2 a week ago, I have tried like six different ROM's, won't name names, but they were all very good. We are lucky to have such good developers on our ATT Note 2.
But now I can't settle on which type of ROM I like, Touchwiz based, or CM10.1 AOSP based ? What is your opinion ?
I like the TW ROM's, for being stock, and having the awesome S-Pen Stylus features, and fantastic battery life, but I hate the stock TW Messaging app, and sock TW Dialer/Contacts, and they all seemed just a tad choppy, or little bit of tiny lag, once in awhile. i tried some of the mods for AOSP messaging, but they all seem to have an issue, not 100% ready for daily driving yet.
Now the CM10.1 ROM's were crazy fast, super smooth, but at the cost of battery life, being almost 1/3rd that of TW ROM's, not terrible battery life, no, just not as good as Touchwiz battery. But AOSP looks really good, and I love the group messaging and vanilla text app, it works perfectly. And the AOSP Dialer & Contacts are my favorite. But with CM10.1 no S-Pen widgets or good Stylus features. But I LOVE the group message and quick reply in CM10.1, which works 100% perfectly. Why didn't Samsung allow quick reply in JB Touchwiz, and no group messaging either ? WTF Samsung
What do you prefer and why ?
Ya I jump between AOKP and CM10.1 settled on CM10.1 for now. I just like the interface and being able to be in 240dpi. As for spen I use papyrus. does what I need. The ROM size is great between 130 Mb to 200 Mb depending on the ROM. Saves space for internal storage and all. To me AOKP and CM10.1 are nice, snappy and elegant. I like sophisticated simplicity and a dark theme. Love being rooted so I can do what I want with my phone. It's only getting better. Pulse I get to run Jellybean 4.2

Are you running stock CM10.1 Nightly ?
How do you set the DPI to 240 ?
You can edit your DPI in build.prop to 240 or run Jellybeer he has a great DPI changer with DPI groups.

Thanks, so for me a newb, how do I edit that ? Can I use Root Explorer to do that ?
And what is your opinion on 240 DPI for the Note 2 ? That seems like a popular size from what I read all over the Note forums. I am daring and just edited that file with text editor through Root Explorer. Let's see what happens after a reboot ? OMFG
UPDATE; yep that worked Thanks to Nova launcher I can custom the icon size @ 110% looks a little better at 240 DPI, and then in System - settings changed font size to large. Both those changes make 240 look really good to me. Does 240 effect performance at all ?

in 240 dpi you have more screen space to put it simply you can have 6 rows and 5 colums for your icons in the app drawer and the homescreen.
just change ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to 240
Only issue is that some apps like phone.apk put the search bar at the top enstead of the bottom that is why I use jellybeer I can put systumui in a 280dpi group and that solves the issue.
That's why I like CM10.1 and AOKP you have lots of options from developers. Your not tied down by what samsung wants you to use. You can make changes.
I actually really love the 280 DPI setting, things look a little smaller, which is good, but @ 240 DPI it changed too much.
is cool we can change the DPI so easily on CM101., just one setting Root Explorer, reboot, and all done, looks great. No issues whatsoever.
