Hi
I've just installed Marvelous ROM, works pretty smooth up to now.
Unfortunately I selected Ubuntu font during the installation process, and this font looks really bad.
I'd like to replace the font and keep everything else as is.
Is it possible ?
The ROM comes with Aroma installer, may I just reboot in recovery and launch aroma in some kind of "updater" mode ??
I really wish I don't have to re-install everything.
Being a junior member, I cannot post in the ROM dev thread.
thanks !
This is possible
No need to re-use aroma installer just do the steps below:
1.Download the desired font "Google Search : X-font.ttf"
2.Put the font on your sdcard
3.Download ROM Toolbox app
4.Open font installer ==>local==>X-font.ttf and install it then reboot
5.Press thanks if it helped

Hello folks,
I am a big fan of fonts and always like to change them. However, it seems that changing the fonts on a Xperia device can be a bit of a hassle because there are like 50 different fonts and you don't wanna mess them all up.
So I personally use the famous Font installer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer&hl=de
Which usually works fine but in this case, there is a small (but very important) thing you have to do, to change most of the fonts.
Requirements: Root and some brainz
1. Install Font installer from the market.
2. In Font installer, click on the menu button and then on "preferences".
3. Click on "Select Fonts" and choose the following additional to the ones that are already checked: "SoMABold.ttf, SoMADigitLight.ttf, SoMARegular.ttf, SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf". I have no idea how these differ from the default android fonts, but you need to change these to see a big difference across your system.
MAKE SURE TO CLICK ON "BACKUP" BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR FONT! Then you can alway restore!
4. ATTENTION! DO NOT REBOOT RIGHT AFTER INSTALLING THE FONT.
Then, either install a font from their servers or an own font. I highly recommend the Helvetica Neue Font from iOS7, Caviardreams, or Open Sans Light. All very thin fonts which look great on your device with high DPI.
5. DO NOT CLICK ON "REBOOT NOW" AFTER INSTALLING THE FONT! Power off the device and turn it on manually. Rebooting within font installer can easily make you stuck in bootloop forever for some weird reason. Experienced it many times on my Galaxy Note, so just do it the safe way!
There you go, enjoy your new fonts all across system! Screenshot attached is the iOS7 Helvetica Neue Font.
Some additional info:
- You might not wanna change the default Clock Type because many fonts don't give much care about the looks of the digits. So if you wanna keep your default sony clocktype, do not change "SoMADigitlight.ttf" (obviously)
- Thin fonts look a lot better on the Sony UI than bold ones (like montserrat)
Greetings

Thanks for the information, I ALWAYS used Font installer so I was surprised when it did not work properly. Just wanted to let you guys know which .ttf files need to be replaced, couldn't find any hints anywhere eiter so I just tried those suspicious looking SoMa.ttf

Font installer or rom toolbox
Confused whether i should install font installer alone or rom toolbox
i am an xperia miro user. In my phone Clockopia.ttf and Robot- Regular.ttf are the only ticked ones. Moreover the fonts like SoMABOLD.ttf, SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf are not present in my phone. ( not preinstalled i guess)
So how will i change my fonts using font installer. I have tried many times, but it is not changing
You told to reboot manually but you did not tell how to get out of problem that I am stuck in after click Reboot Now
Thank you very much, it worked fine but my device does not have these: SoMABold.ttf, SoMADigitLight.ttf, SoMARegular.ttf only SoMCSAns-Regular.ttf and some parts just a few are not changed. Any idea why?

I heard when your device is stuck is because the font is not compatible with the device, i don't know if it's true or not. When i tried to change the font before this guide, my device booted normally but no changes were made. The only way i know to get out from a boot loop is to flash the ftf file in flashtool.
HELP!!!
So i followed the instructions as it says...picked a font clicked install and reboot...yippie...not...i noticed non of the font changed....except for the ones iinvoloved with html coding or webview....aka chrome and email....only problem is now all the letters look like candy canes and i cant figure how to get it back to normal.... please help.... htc on m8 vzw 5.0.1
Hi all.
before anything :
- this tool is for especialy for dualbooters because i havent tested in 1rst rom. but updater-script manage kernel flashed. prepare odin in case of bad flash, you're advised.
- always make nandroid before use and flash with my tool.
I saw that ppl have many trouble to install 4.4.2 kitkat roms on their device.
it seems that we have manu such "error status 7" , and these were about setting persmissions during flash.
so i decide to make an aroma to avoid this error.
if you flash an original 4.4.2 Kitkat rom and have the error, no need to flash another compatible recovery kernel to re-try, just use my aroma flasher with the steps i descride below. In the aroma advanced MENU, you will choose set_perm commands compatible flash instead of set_metadata commands persmission to see if flask process will work in fine
Sure, at end of process, a kernel will be flashed, dorimanx branch 8 i have put in pach you went to donwload, or another you have put instead like i describe in extra step 6 below too.
so, AROMA structure details is like this :
pach/AROMA
---------backupEFS <------- useful script, no need to touch.
---------KERNEL <------- place here your boot.img file. (original rom or other)
---------maliv2
-------------system/lib/egl/ <-------- maliv2 .so libs contents, no need to touch.
pach/data/app <--------- you can put som apks here, moved from /system/app/ (i often move in latinIME.apk from /system/app/ and then i free 40Mo on /system/ partition, its good for GAPPS)
pach/META-INF/....../ <--------- no need to touch.
the available download pach i use for some months now , is here :
UniversalAROMAinstallerFOR-4.4.2-ROMs-DefinitivePach.rar - 8.53 MB
how to use it
1 - download any kitkat 4.4.2 ROM your want to install I9100.
2 - try it normaly, and see if you have error on flash.
3 - when you got it, on PC, make a safe copy ot it somewhere, and open it with WINRAR. Then delete META-INF and other boot.img file. just let system folder in ZIP.
4 - uncompree my AROMA somewhere.
5 - drag and drop the 3 "bolded" folders (in aroma structured details) in ZIP rom you still have opened.
extra step 6 : in AROMA/KERNEL/ folder, you will find dorimanx branch 8 version (new @StanTRC recovery inside) i have put. You can replace it with any boot.img you want , even those from original rom zip you have safely somewhere on your PC. just extract boot.img from it and replace with in you new aroma installer rom zip you went to manage in steps 3, 4 and 5 .
aroma choice you will have :
"Compatibility of your Recovery Kernel",
"Your Kernel is compatible for set_metadata commands"
"Your Kernel ONLY understand set_perm commands"
"choose your based KK similar rom",
"AOSB BEANSTALK C-ROM EHNDROIX"
"CARBON"
"CM11 JELLYBAM"
"SABER PAC"
"PA"
"Resurrection Remix"
"SLIM SPIRIT"
"NEATROM AICP"
"SOKP"
"Backup EFS",
"Backup your EFS folder before flash"
"Skip"
"Kernel to flash at end of process",
"DorimanX 8 and MaliV2"<---------- option that serve to flash MALIV2 for dorimanX branch 8 users, dualbooters.
"any other kernel"
EXTRA TOOL : .db qulite bases "wiper" , it delete some .db files in some /data/data/com.android........../databases/ folders, usefull when we flash from <> based 4.4.2 roms, CM11 , RR , PAC , SLIM, PA....sometimes worked fines for me.
"Delete some SQlite .db files in ROM",
"YES ","Delete some SQlite .db from you installed rom to avoid com.android.phone FC or other FCs"
"NO thanks we can FLASH the ROM"
again, this is just for test and fun , dualbooters will like more that "normal" users. no risk to flash kernel in 2nd rom, but remember need maliv2 during AROMA....and i always afraid someone that try my work on 1rst rom will brick its device.....so i advertise everyone that before upload my "daily" works, i'm not always flashing them on my 1rst rom.
thanks.

i have made one pach with onle play store and google services , with others goodies, but i can re-script it with gapps. give me a way to follow what you think ppl need the most .
i mean this one, but i'm on some research about better way to use it, tomorrow i will post good version.
I9100-Aroma-addonsFor-KitKat-4.4.2-ROMS.zip - 180.81 MB
this one is that one i use in video review, you see i NEVER have trouble with space /system/ partition because initial ZIP ROM is modify with some apk in /data/app/ during flash, so i can add more goodies in /system/app/ using this aroma with play store, google sphere and touchwizz i use....see tuto how to move apks from /system/app/ to data/app/ before flash the rom and then gain space on /system/ to flash more files without disturbing /data/app/ we never want to full wipe to.
AND REMEBER external .sh script dont work well with dorimanx new recovery, i mean move choice in aroma so its better to have space in system before use and not use these options during aroma (i mean options to gain space)
thanks.

This mod will change default apps UI to look like G3:
Contact, Phone, Setting, Lockscreen, Home, Message, Camera
Little icon change for:
Internet, videos, calculator, gallery
How to:
1. You must have a file manager for editing Example.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download zip from attachments, open mod & copy(replace) "res" folder in Example.apk.
3. Replace your new Example.apk with the original one in system/app.
4. You MUST always Restart your phone to get the right result! Possible Force closes before restart are normal
Done! Enjoy!
Flashable zip is here!please reply the result
----------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open as archive" & then you can modify APKs easily
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in Example.apk
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of Example.apk.
!! remember to have the original STOCK APK files somewhere safe !!
I suggest to copy the system/"app" folder somewhere safe
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfect!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solve the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I'm already using it, is perfect for jellybean,I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
If you want to have G3 style notification bar & lollipop Navigation bar on your Optimus G like the screenshot, here is the place:

The problem is my phone is not unlocked & I don't know how to make flashable zip!
But I make you sure even by deleting the apps above, phone will boot normally(tested) & you can replace or copy your original apps, they will be restored FOR SURE.
Also that's not that much hard to modify them! At most 10 minutes for all of them!

Hi i want to share how to change your phone font on Android 10 . I tested it on Paranoid Android Quartz and AOSIP Derpfest Android 10 and the result are great.
*Requirement*
- Custom Rom Rooted
- Backup your current setup with TWRP just in case
- Fontfix App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer.free&hl=in
- Font you like if you dont wanna choose from fontfix
How To :
1. Make sure your phone are rooted
2. Install Fontfix from Playstore
3. Choose your favourite font from fontfix or add your own font. press download button and you see now preview font and press again, before you press install, look there are "click here" and you can change which font do you want to changes, in my case i change 3 font : Roboto-regular, roboto-bold, roboto-thin, roboto-italic and the result almost all font on phone are changes
4. You can choose one for the time and repeat after reboot.
5. Voila, enjoy your new font
Thats all :highfive:
