Hey guys, looking for some help.
I've been trying to use one of the fonts from the toolbox to replace the GS3 system one and it doesn't install.
The message says installed and to reboot but nothing changes except the font in Gmail?!
It worked previously on my Desire and Atrix and I just wondered if anyone out there has had similar issues.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
i am using romtoolbox and i dont have problem to change the systemfond,i am using sony sketch and it works fine.
Hi all,
I tried using FontInstaller to change my system font to my preferred Galette, but it softbricked and I had to restore. Has anyone used a font-change app, like Fontomizer or ROM Toolbox Pro (which, I believe, uses FontInstaller anyway) to swap out their system font successfully, or is it all FlipFonts?

HELLO ALL GRAND FELLAS!
I am here just to share the tablet ui mod for our galaxy grand. It can be done by any newbie but if you want the things to get faster you can view this thread.
NOTE: If you want to apply a new theme, you need to first change the dpi of your phone to 190/240(190 recommended) i.e editing the lines in build.prop. choose your desired theme and again change the dpi to 160!
REQUIREMENTS:
1. CM10.1 on your GRAND.
2. Xposed installer and AppSettings.
3. Your favorite launcher (I prefer golauncher), u can use nova launcher too or even holo launcher.
4. cm10.1update.zip and cm10.1restore.zip.
5. Root explorer or any app to edit your build.prop.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Install Xposed installer and AppSettings.
2. Go to Xposed installer and click on install. After installing go to modules and tick AppSettings.
3. Now go to AppSettings and set the dpi as follows--
(i)Browser: dpi=240
(ii)Contact: dpi=240
(iii)Messaging: dpi=182/240 (thanks to jomota7)
(iv)Phone: dpi=240
(v)Phone/Messaging storage: dpi=240
4. Go to root explorer to edit your build.prop, navigate to system folder, open build.prop and edit this line--
default->ro.sf.lcd_density=240
edited->ro.sf.lcd_density=160 5. Install go launcher or any other launcher that you prefer.
6. Copy both the .zip files(cm10.1update.zip & cm10.1restore.zip) to your extsdcard.
7. Reboot into recovery.
8. Browse to where you copied your both the files. And install cm10.1update.zip.
9. Reboot.
10. You can always go back to your default Phone ui. Just flash the cm10.1restore.zip and change the dpi in build.prop to 190 or 240 (I prefer 190, gives a perfect look to cm on Grand)
11. You don't need to wipe your data, cache or dalvik cache!
:good:Thats it! You got your Tablet ui on your GRAND!:good:

u r welcome
For help people don´t see my post and karipari95 (i answered you) have this post: OPTIMIZE DPI system/app in 5'' screen
Using the right apps and DPI you transform your Grand duos in PC portable lol. For now only use my portable for flash CWM or root devides i fix from friends lol.
For now in test diferents DPI and increase font because some people need big fonts lol.
"CM10.1 on your GRAND."
Right.... Now understand this point. It's need install Rom cm10.1 first.
Lol I install in Rom cook by custom cook and error appear. Lol.
Put a uplink to tread for cm10.1. I need this phone operational 2 chip's, sow I not install cm.
Change DPI is good but some people don't like small font. Just need increase font in app settings or in settings android.
Thanks karipari95.

The tool OP has used doesn't patch stock ROMs, it only patches custom ROMs (AOKP, AOSP, CM, PA). Which means that to achieve real tablet Ui on stock ROM one has to do the job manually, and for this one needs to mod android.policy.jar, services.jar and frameworks-res.jar.
As for me I'm currently trying, and so far I only half succeeded.
Tablet mode works and apps like settings open in split view, and I managed to have the bottom mini tray to work (look at the screenshots below).
I still didn't figure out how to merge the notification top bar with the navigation bottom bar and I'm not sure I will be able to do it, but let's be optimistic:silly:...
Nice job @unclefab.... Will wait for it... :thumbup:

Hello mate I have a leaked rom 4.2.2 on my Grand. question is: when i try to install new fonts said that is not compatible with my device someone can help me how do it ? thank you
U can use 3rd party tools like font changer, rom toolbox etc
I tried romtool box and it works for me but there is an issue after apply stock fonts again from satting, the fonts of messages and web content remains unchanged(fonts are same as with the room toolbox fonts),

That's one of the main reason I reverted back to 4.1.2. Does Galaxy S4 facing this problem too?

From my experience, some elements updates only after rebooting. In another thread I don't remember now I saw something stating that deleting /system/vendor/overlay/android-res.apk also fixes that (without needing to reboot every time you change theme), but I hadn't tested this...
Yep,,maybe this small bugs from this 4.3 starting,,

Simply use a tool to restart SystemUI and you will be able to get the full working theme without the need to reboot.
