[Q] ROM Toolbox Font Installer - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I used the Font Installer on ROM toolbox to change the font on my GS3, but only some of the fonts changed. Could someone tell me why? Or tell me how I can apply the font to the entire phone?

Make sure you're on a deodexed ROM.
Most people with GS3 and ROM Toolbox eventually run into issues or boot loops down the road.
I wouldn't suggest using that app.

It's the MOAR ROM - I believe it's deodexed. Anyway, I just changed the font from the settings menu and it applied to the whole phone.
But what kind of issues do people run into?

You found a solution. If you aren't having any other issues and its working, I say stick with it and keep using what works.

[CODEROM][THEME] CyanogenMod default theme + CM7 bootanimation

Here is something which I did out of interest. I am not trying to replicate the perfectly able (and the BEST) CM7. Its just that i tried to make this as our theme. Works on both CODEROM versions.
What all I have added:
1. The CyanogenMod default theme (Orange) leaving the dropdown.
2. 'Calculator.apk' the dark one which looks a lot better than our normal calculator.
3. 'DeskClock.apk' the default clock widget of cyanogenmod. Better clock looks on lock screen and more alarm options.
3. (Optional) Bootanimation of CM7 as I liked it a lot.
How to apply theme:
1. Download the attached zip.
2. Copy to root of SD card.
3. Get into recovery.
4. Apply update and select this zip.
5. Reboot.
THEMES:
1. Download and update "CYANOGENMODdefault.zip" if you want the CM7 bootanimation.
2. Download and update "CYANOGENMOD(noboot).zip" if you dont want CM7 bootanimation but the theme.
NOTE: I havent changed the dropdown of the quickpanel. It is same as before but i have done a modification which you can see in the screenshots attached.

Battery made ORANGE

If you are running on KPH then do one thing. Go to /system/media/bootanimation.zip copy that. Use your root explorer to search the other bootanimation.zip and then replace that by this. Then your CM7 bootanimation will work. The thing is that bootanimation of coderom is saved in /system/media but i dont remember where its saved in KPH. Thanks

i have bootsamsung.qmg & bootsamsungloop.qmg along with bootanimation.zip
Whoa! Nice work you've done here, dude!
Been looking for a theme like this for like months!
Great job!
how can i get back my codenexusace boot animation
In "MY FILES" menu, when I tap the "MORE" button i can't see names of commands such as "COPY", "PASTE" and more. Only after I tap one of them and hold, the text becomes visible. I guess it is a bug and shoud be removed. I am using codenexus.
I've installed your theme last night and I love the way it looks.
But I have a lil problem here; my notification bar is now missing. :-(
I've tried to change the setting of LauncherPro to make it visible but nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Many thanks before
Nice theme, but one problem:
When use the browser and then select "settings", i hardly can see the options because the font-colour is so dark. Pls fix that
no much different thought.. only status bar icon and animation.

What do you mean my friend? i didnt understand . and as per others, i am trying to fix that menu problem. Will soon fix it. Tried some methods but it isnt working.
I think that he mean that this theme doesn't really change anything instead of bootanimation and status bar icons. But please tell me is there any way to change the bottom dock style manually? Not by installing Launcherpro or sth like that. I don't like the standard android style (three icons) and I prefer touchwiz. When I install themes it never changes.

Excuse me, I don't mean to spam on your thread here but can you please help me to fix this problem?
I really like your theme but this prevents me to use it. And that's just too bad

Hey sorry about not responding to that earlier. I found out what the problem was. The thing is that the update binary in the zip has some functions which work only on CWmod recovery. So if you are using your normal recovery, you will lose your status bar. After that you have to either repair it by applying some other theme or reflash your ROM.

Hmm... I tried flashing this using CWM but the status bar is still missing. Probably because I used the latest CWM. Will try later for old CWM when I get home.

Okay, it now works with 4.0.0.9 CWM. The only thing is that I had to press "power off" in CWM rather than reboot.

Replacement fonts?

are there any restictions on what font packs we can flash? I'm running AOSP illusionROM (CM-based) and I don't know if I am currently using it right now or not, but I love light fonts, specifically roboto. I was wondering if there was somewhere to get flashable font packs, or if we could even use them without messing up the phone?
Thanks

I just downloaded Ifont from the play store expecting it not to work but It totally did. I'm s-off unlocked rooted running a custom rom and it works but I would do a nandroid before just in case.
does that have roboto light?
Thanks for the suggestion!
No it doesn't.. But if you find the font you can import it into that app and then install it.

Not sure if you're rooted or not, but have you tried RomToolbox? I use it to install my fonts, and it works great. The only time I haven't seen it work is when I try to install a "bold type" font. Other than that, it has worked for every font I have used.

It won't work on kit Kat. Rom tool box I mean. If you want some flashable fonts, there's a thread somewhere on here that I made. Either in general or Q&A. Someone posted a link and now I got hella fonts. I'd you're on 4.4x that is

I'm using KitKat.. Beanstalk 4.4 (latest one).. RomToolbox replaces the fonts on it.. I tried Carbon and a few other roms, and RoTB only replaced some of the fonts.. I rem the fonts you shared with me @Nigglenuts.. Those are great, and I'm sure the OP will find one he likes..

Installing custom font

Hi
I am trying to install a custom Rom (so that it would render sinhala)
I copied the ttf file to system/fonts and added the entries to fallback fonts xml as well. This method worked well in kitkat roms. How ever after upgrading to lollipop with revolution HD ROM this no longer works.
Has anything changed in lollipop on how custom fonts are added?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

you sholud be able to add them by installing fonts apk that you can find on google play or here on xda and selecting the font in settings -> dysplay and gestures -> font style... i can do this way with ViperOneM8, but sholud work also with ARHD let me know

Thanks for the help. However I was unable to find "Sinhala" font with an APK. Good news is I was able to solve the issue. Lollipop has changed the default fallback_font.xml and there's a new file called fonts.xml. I was able to render Sinhala fonts perfectly after modifying both fallback_fonts.xml and fonts.xml.
Thanks again for your time.

Hi, That's great news.
This is a very frustrating thing on HTC for me. I had an LG G2 before and never had a problem rendering other character sets.
My M8 is not rooted. Could you explain in steps how you solved this please?

Please help my font problem

I have a problem in replacing stock HTC fonts with some custom fonts using Root explorer. Let's suppose if I wanna replace a certain stock font Alpha with a custom font Beta, I'd simply rename and change that custom font Beta's name to Alpha and replace the stock Alpha with that using Root explorer. It does work for any other devices like Sony, Samsung, and Xiaomi. However, in HTC devices, it only works until I reboot my phone. After reboot, the stock font Alpha ,which supposed to be replaced with font Beta, reappear and the custom font Beta (which replaced Alpha before reboot) doesn't seem to exist there. I know I could easily change my font in Settings>Personalize>Font Style. But I'm just curious if there is any other ways to replace stock fonts with custom fonts? If you don't get my problem, feel free to ask me more. Thank you!
