Changing all of the system fonts? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I'm in search of a way to change all of the fonts in the phone. The stock way to change the fonts is not complete. I'm rooted.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
I haven't played with fonts in a while, but I used to use this. Thinking about it now, I'm going to re-install it

It has been years since he has developed anything.
The last time I tried to use that app it only changed a few of the fonts, similar to what is already in my bootleggers ROM.
Any other ideas?
Edit: this one is supported.

The last update for the app was on December 10, 2018, so yes, he's still supporting it.
His toolbox app though, he has stopped updating.

Because you're rooted....
the best way to do what I'm fairly certain this is what you're seeking is via the method/fonts that can be found in this thread (HERE) that is in the theme/apps/mods section of this forum...
I personally have changed the font throughout my phone to my all time favorite, Tahoma...
Hope this helps...

There are a lot of magisk modules with different fonts in the repo and subforum. They apply system-wide.

Sorry, it requires a wipe. Hykuro has not released a non wipe and there is no template yet. I wish there was the files are all over the place compared to RC33.

Okay. Thanks for explaining. So I think we can work together on this because I have a pretty simple way of doing this and it saves alot of time.
For some reason my builds are giving some people the
"process com.android.phone has stopped uexplectidly. please try again"
error and I can't figure out why. It looks like you figured it out. If you could explain what you did to eliminate the problem we can have working builds going for every theme out there.
thanks!!!!!
Can someone tell me why this only seems to work with the H builds? I tried the H build and went back to the G, but I me the themes, especially the notification bar icons which can't be changed with apps like OpenHome. So why does the H build get all the modifications?

I use the H builds and was getting bored of stock icons. So I decided to port Gloss Suite over and share for anyone who also uses H with apps to sd. Also these builds get an update every Friday so no themer is going to want to do this every week, specially since there is no way of update without wipe.

@johnowa636: I have made a non-wipe theme template for you based on 5.0.2-Hr4.
It consists of:
-- apps
-- framework
-- media
-- fonts
If you decide not to use any of these, make sure to change the "update-script".

Should be fine. I do not believe that any of these files are different in those 2 versions.
Anyway, I will check once again and get back to you later.
This template should work for both H versions.
However, it will not work for G versions.
I have created a theme template for the G versions as well.
5.0.1Gr4-theme-template.zip
I should probably create a new thread with these templates.
Did anyone attempt to try to install gloss theme on hr5 zh yet?

Android date format

How can i change HH.MM into HH:MM ?
Or where is that file located in the rom ?
I could grab that one from another rom.
Thanks.

A you talking about the date or time format since your stated HH:MM? Anyways, go into settings, scoll to date & time, at the bottom of the list in date&time, you should see "Select date format". Change it to any of the available formats listed.
Oh, my bad. I meant time not date.
Statusbar clock is showing the time with single dot not colon as it's supposed to.
I've already spent too much time on finding answer for this, nobody just doesn't care to answer even if they would know.

What phone model do you have? If I knew then maybe I could get an app to fix it. A custom rom should help, but I still need to know the model to find one which would.
Im using ZTE Blade.
At the moment im using Swedish Spring RLS4 and kallt_kaffe fixed that into this rom, but after i flashed Gingerbread theme into this the clock is now showing HH.MM.
I've already tried to ask kallt_kaffe, but he never replied.
So the file must be in the framework.apk, right ?

Most likely it is a bug in the theme since it happened after you installed the theme. Try removing the theme and installing a different one. You could try an ADW Gingerbread theme and see if that works. Hope it does.

Same thing happens if i use older or newer release from Swedish Spring.
And it did work before i flashed that theme, but i don't know if there's different Gingerbread themes available.

Try the one attached.
I know that i can use ADW themes, but it doesn't change the statusbar.
I found that file which has that info on it, but how do i get it into my fone.
I decompiled framework.apk and it is in framework-res.apk\res\values-fi-rFI\strings.
I want to use this Gingerbread theme http://www.mediafire.com/?lfui6wwp6u1fevb on my blade, so how do i get it into that ?

[Q] Gapps problems.

Hello!
I got a new D855, I flashed lastest PA and stock Google apps, I downloaded few other Google apps ( such as keyboard ) and converted them to system apps.
I tried using the Google keyboard but it always crashes.
The dialer had a problem and got frozen.
I just can't use the phone like that.
Any fix to this problems?

I think you misunderstood me. Uninstall the keyboard and reinstall it. Then DON'T convert it to system app and try. I mean why would you need the keyboard to be a system app?

It works fine when it is user app.
But I like to be close to stock AOSP.
Is it possible ? or should It stays like that.
Btw, I heard something about downgrading the G3 resulotion, is it really possible ?

Well then don't make it a system app. There is, as far as I can tell, no benefits for your camera being a system app.
I think you read about downgrading the resolution on this thread? Imho it makes no sense to do so, cause the screen still has to show all the pixels and the battery you save from the cpu/gpu not processing some of the pixels is minimal. You could try and disable the sharpening software from LG with this flashable script. On my phone the display quality improved significantly!

One last question (I hope xP), I'm running PA and today I flashed the update, the update brought back the few apps came with the rom that I deleted, Is it any way to avoid that?

You're very welcome You could edit the .zip file and delete the apps manually that you don't want to have. But you would need to do it every time before you flash an update and I think that's definitely not worth the effort

Installing fonts w/ no root samsung sm-g920p MM6

The system is probably looking for a flag inside the installed font's apk file or something like that. It is probably checking to see what version the fonts/apk file was built for and if it isn't MM then it won't allow it. You could either try patching the installed font apk yourself, or ask the developer of the font to upgrade it to support MM. This is a normal thing for us developers, we normally have to release a new version of an app for it to work on the next version of android.

Disabling the stock clock/weather screen on the KLD

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

OK, thanks. So basically, without rooting, there is NO WAY in KLD software to get rid of that screen, right?

If you want to use that launcher then no, you can use other launchers without rooting tho.

I use car launcher. Others use nova or next.
It's so easy to do that you could try out any with high ratings till you find one you like.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!
Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

I second this. Nova Launcher works great. I use the stock clock widget and a weather widget from 1Weather and it suits my needs.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.
