hey there, a little help needed with an issue i'm having. I'm not a total noob, more of a longtime lurker, so anyways i used "Font Installer *Root*" to change the system font on my sgn3. It prompted me to make a backup of my default font first to which I selected 'yes'. Turns out that didnt backup my system font but i was a notification that i should and that the 'yes' was just to continue the font changing process and not to backup. So now i desperately wanna resort to the default samsung font, what can i do? i do have a nandroid backup but really dont want to wipe it just because of this, i'm on a rooted n900T on 4.3 stock rom/kernel, are there any other ways to get back the default touchwiz font?
Can't you just change it from the settings? Under font

You should be able to do what Chuk mentioned under display/font. You can also try ifont on the playstore, a free app which has hundreds of built in fonts (stock included).

But the method I used changed the touchwiz 'default' to a new default,so default is no longer default lol

Sounds good...do you happen to know what is the name of the touchwiz default font? Don't mean to seem nitpicky ,it just feels weird using my phone without it, in hindsight I should have never changed it

Think it's either droidsans.ttf or roboto.ttf just download ifont than hit the local tab, than choose to restore factory default font, it's stored in your system automatically so it will work.

The custom font I selected from font installer became the new 'default' so restoring just brings me back to it that custom font. Thanks however,I will look up those fonts you suggested

Make a new nandroid, restore the old nandroid, backup the font, copy it out, restore the nandroid, copy the font back in.

Can't you long press the home key and go to "clear defaults"?

Yeah this did not work for me, on Android Revolution HD 2.1.4
Worked great on AOKP latest n greatest. Thanks Nitroz!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Did you restart your phone and then try reinstall the apk?
Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back
Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.
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.

I want to back that up for when I do full wipes, to keep icon location/folder location...
Would be nice if I could keep my notification set to what I had them set to.. but that is not really an issue and is faster to do... setting up my folder takes awhile :/
What launcher do you use? Most of them have a backup/restore option. I know Nova does for sure. Just make sure all apps and stuff are installed before restoring. Check in your launcher settings.

Apex will also backup the "desktop", though it may be only in Apex Pro, which is what I use.
Like already said, most aftermarket launchers have backup capabilities...usually found in the settings menu of the launcher.
I use Titanium Backup, and when restoring apps, it will restore your icons and placement as well. Widgets will need to be replaced manually if you have any of them placed on your home screen.

I use TBackup to backup all apps/data. After wipe, restore Holo Launcher with data will put everything back as was.

Did you wipe cache/dalvik? I also placed this in other forums. Based on number of downloads there is 2% chance you bootloop and you are the only one. wonder why

Unless its a flip font, flashable fonts replace Roboto as the Default system font, therefore it won't show in options as anything other than "Default" and you'll need to install a Roboto flip font apk or reflash Roboto.ttf to get it back as your stock font
I like to break stuff!
Aha.. Thank you.

Pauldiddy's flip fonts can be downloaded and installed without being flashed. The webos font style is coconut medium in his rar pack.
I don't want just the font, I want my WebOS back!
This will do for now though. Thanks!
Why is it that when I upgraded to ZVB the roboto font chnged and is much uglier and bolder than before? How can I change it back to normal roboto font?
Did you go to display options in settings. I'm not on JB yet so I can't be of too much help but try and change it and see what happens.

ROM toolbox doesnt work for the LGOG for some reason, and the JB update made everythuing bolder, its just something you'll have to deal with, or you can go back to zv9, or maybe once a deodexed ROM is out toolbox will work. till then your kinda screwed.
I have changed the font size and it looks about the same as the ICS font.
