Recommend Font Changer Apps - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Yep. I'd like to change the font. My phone is rooted stock. Now, are there any font changer apps that work well and do not give you malware? Or is flashing via TWRP only recommended?
Please and thanks!

I use this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/font-flashable-ubuntu-font-zip-pixel-2-t3710892
Tons of fonts, and OP is super kind and quick to take font requests!
Don't know about any apps though; a ROM with full OMS commits could give you font options as well.

2nd the above font zips thread!

FontFix works pretty good for me :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer

I use ifont. Works fine.

I've been using Midnight Core (magisk module)and has been really good ... almost 50 different fonts to choose from and they are installed systemlessly and can be changed on the go as wanted and works on custom roms . All you have to do is download and install the module in Magisk and download terminal emulator and follow the instructions in the link.

You need Xposed for this to work.
And the Apps may simply not work on LP sorry
Thought I would drop by and let ya know & give ya a big THANKS for this. I have been looking for something different and this worked great on my nabi2 but still needs some tweaking. I know they share a lot of hardware and system files so I took a shot. Also I am running our latest update, 4.4.2 KK. :good:

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes it is working for me. I just need to play around with DPI setting. The ones stated above will not work for me. Then I will decompile the actual Launcher App and play around with the smali and values and see about adding features to it if possible...... for me of course. I'll share it after asking for permission though.
:good:
Oh I was not able to find the " Tabbed Settings " Xposed Module anywhere. Is it under a different name?

What now? Themes, Apps, Mods.

I have the Google Pixel XL rooted running Android Oreo with boot-loader unlocked. I used the modded TWRP with SU config and Chainfire's SU with SU Hide by the way to root. I know about theming and a few rooted apps like Greenify to name one. I do not want a custom ROM flashed. I guess is there and thing like Xposed or Gravity box I would be able to use. What are some neat and cool / helpful things to do while rooted on oreo with pixel xl at this point? Anyone got any ides what I should do? !hanks.

This belongs in Q&A for starters.
Right now for Oreo there is Substratum/Andromeda, and some flashable Aroma installer mods. A custom Kernel like ElementalX gives further customization performance wise as well as wake gestures, colour control, and brightness tweaks.

Just to note, Andromeda is only needed for unrooted phones. If you have root, you can substratum without issue

So far the only one that really works on the pixel XL is the Swift black , destiny doesn't work very well I haven't found any apps that work with Destiny all I use is Swift black and every so often there's one or two apps that won't work because of updates or or what not so I use Onyx too. Also what works with Swift black and helps,is if you only do 5 at a time and if still something doesn't come out right sometimes you have to reboot for it to take effect... Good luck

Lone4subs, domination, Sprite, focus, are just a few themes that work for me on Oreo. They are all paid themes though. I would recommend lone4subs but you have to enroll in the beta version for it to work with Oreo.
Screenshot
I also reccomend swift black for substratum. great dark theme. updated all of the time.
mods and things that I use;
- system ui tuner; change # of quick tiles, animation speed, etc
- Apex Launcher (very customizable n lite)
- AfWall (firewall to block apps from internet access)
- disable service (disable things like advertising ID, analytics, etc in google play services, some apps, etc)
- custom nagivation bar (change navbar layout n look)
- with magisk I use a few modules; GMs doze, busybox, etc)
- graby spin ui (icon set)
- signal messenger (instead of messenger)
- anysoftkeyboard
- fx file manager
- adaway for adblocking
- ex kernel manager
- exNoShades-eas kernel (which adds a bunch of features, optimizations, security/hardening, etc... i'm the dev)...
i pretty much replace or modify everything on the stock rom that i don't like, or needs improvements.
I agree with @roman.ramirez.12 ~ If you like dark themes, Swift Black is great. Constant updates, works well.
Some mods, appss and stuff that I can't do without;
- Apex Lanucher (Lite and customization).
- FX File Manager
- OS Monitor
- AFwall (Firewall for blocking apps internet access)
- Custom Navigation Bar (change navbar layout, functionality and style)
- System UI Tuner (tweak Quick settings tile #, change animation speeds to 0.75)
- AdAway (Block all advertising. Available in Fdroid app store)
- Magisk + a few modules (Pass Safetynet, Magisk hide. Modules: GMZ Doze, etc)
- EX Kernel Manager (for tuning custom kernel settings)
- exNoShadez-eas Kernel (My kernel / I'm the dev. Passes SafetyNet check. Most of the extra features other kernels have + additional
hardening/security features and some other features - too much/specific to get into here).
Using all of the above, I get a decent amount of customization to the Stock rom, plus all of the goodies one might want out of a kernel (and then some. lol)... I use most of these apps on any device (have for years, in some cases) and the kernel I develop exclusively for the Pixel / Pixel XL.

System UI Colors/Accent

Does anyone have any idea his to change the System UI color or accent because the Teal is very ugly. I hope there is a method without root because I'm not trying to lose OTA's.
I used Substratum X Andromeda via ADB enabled and now since it isn't allowed with Android Pie I can't edit anything without root.
Any ideas anyone? :crying: :highfive:

In Oreo it is possible by installing the apk of the color you want. When done that, it enables "Themes" in "Screen" in "Settings"
Google it, I found them in Mi A1 sub

Can you elaborate a little more? I googled android oreo color apk - all I found was this thread...closed for ripping/distributuing substratum themes.

This magisk module is working on A2 lite pie
Pix3lify from magisk also works like a charm, it even makes everything rounder just like it is on Pixel devices and roms.

Hey everyone! I have found something you will be interested in. If you have root you can buy and install "Swift Installer - Themes & Color Engine" you use magisk and root to apply overlays and you can choose your notification tool area transparency, your full device accent, and better yet it supports apps like Snapchat, GApps (Google Apps), Instagram, Spotify and more I will put the list of apps below!
List of apps your theme will get applied to: https://goo.gl/gS84kK
Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftinstaller
I have been using this ever since it released its like their own Substratum Engine but awesome and for Pie users

Well it is working on my note 8 but it need more modifications as the dialer, settings and gallery are not themed well in addition the sounds are not set on my phone but it is very good as a start keep it up
It's working nice but I am a note 10 plus user and I really liked the s pen sound effects so can you update it?
@Boody Bryant I tested it on Note 8 and it's working fine. Follow the steps as mentioned above.
Cheers !
@BrinierFlame What exactly do you want to update ? It's by default in the original apk.
This is a non-modified version of the theme.
Cheers
I just noticed this is the first post of both of you on XDA. Feel free to tinker around @Boody Bryant and @BrinierFlame.

• Don't use Custom One UI installer and hex installer, the theme won't apply properly. Only specific themes are designed to work on them.
• I don't want Samsung moderators to pull off this thread as the Star wars edition is just out.
• You can always use apps like package disabler pro to keep using Theme permanently. There are hundreds of tutorials on package disabler pro on YouTube.
Please have a look.
Cheers !

• The theme was designed to work only on One UI devices.
• You can always download it and give a try, it's free. I currently don't have any Samsung Oreo device to test on.
• Anyways, I feel Batman Injustice theme from S7 edge was waay cooler, you should try that.

Did you followed the steps properly ?
My note 10+ has successfully applied the theme.

2) Download the APK installer app mentioned above.
3) OPEN APK installer app and Install the Darkside RC.apk
4) Open Samsung theme store and apply the theme.
Other users have already applied theme on their devices.
Fell free to DM me on XDA, if you were unable to apply the theme. I'll be happy to guide you again.

It depends on whether you configured it to show in 12 hour format, it will show AM / PM. I configured it in 24 hour format and it doesn't show AM or PM

ALPHA-2.3.66 is the best to me.
Why not installing these updates yourself? Don't have Magisk? If you have Magisk, you can install Super Wallpapers APK with SAI (Split APKs Installer - configured to use "root" installation).
