[Q] Font's

How can i install a font directly i to the system so that i can use it from the settings , display menu. I know that there are many apps with root that can do font changing easy but is required to reboot the phone for the font to stick, on the other hand the settings options it changes instantly. That's my Q thanks in advance

do a search for flipfonts. as long as you're running a TW ROM you should be able to download them and install like a normal app, then look under the list of fonts and it will be there.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Price is a bit high but I took the plunge and I believe it can only get better love it so far.

Well, thank you all. I guess there is no way for me to achieve what I want without running a launcher on top of my ROM. :thumbup:

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.

I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Emoji on Touchwiz

I was looking for a way to get Emoji on stock touchwiz roms and have found a way. It works, I didn't flash it I only opened zip and transferred files over manually (same as flash?) however, it is working. I think it made my message app fc sometimes but its very uncommon and it may have nothing to do with this mod. All credit goes to the original dev please give thanks there! Also you can see the emojis throughout the system not just messaging app however, only colorful emoji are shown in messaging app otherwise they are black and white outlines. If anybody knows how to fix this let me know or do it and share.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922104
Also as you can see its for the galaxy s3 i9305 so if any devs can look into and make necessary changes (if needed) to make this a US variant mod, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways thanks for reading and hope I helped!
ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section!

would this enable you to see the ones iPhone users use?

Yea my girl has an iphone and she sends me emoji all the time (reason why looked for this mod). The only thing is that the color emoji will only show in the messaging app and they will be black and white crap everywhere else. Including the text box in the keyboard even when using the keyboard in the messaging app.

Dude yes I want emoji!!!!!

follow guide in the link, it works in the messaging app. You will still have to use the emoji keyboard in play store but they will actually show up instead of a blank space.

Emoji is now built into the UVDLJC build, no need to flash any files.

Synergy rom has an emoji keyboard basically its just a keyboard where you can enter tons of emoji's

DPI

Any way to change the dpi on tw roms these days? Love tw but what a waste of a large screen!

Search xposed installer/apk.
Rootboxed

Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

And prevents you from installing most apps once changed from default.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning

[Q] Is there a way to adjust the font size of apps without root?

I just bought the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and not sure if I can get used to the font size throughout. Some reading apps have the option to increase font size but many apps don't
I know I can make adjustments using Xposed Framework. I just want to avoid tripping Knox given the device is so new. Hoping there is another way to make adjustments.

Have you tried the basic changes under settings/device/display/fonts ?

I have - it seems to just adjust the font size for the device settings. Doesn't do anything to Chrome, OneNote and pretty much any app I opened where the font is a bit small

Try using settings/system/accessibility/vision/font size/.

I ended up rooting, installing xposed / app settings, and changing the dpi to the apps I wanted to adjust. I'm fine now

Apex launcher can do this, and it's awesome

Where were you before I tripped Knox? heh thanks for the suggestion but yeah I'm good now. long time user of Nova as well so would be hard for me to switch
