Loving my new stock rooted Note 2 but the fonts in the notifications pulldown are just too large. Anyone know a way to change them (without flashing a custom ROM). It's a shame that they don't change with the font size change for the system. I would think that would be a given.
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
Is there any way to change font style on my oneplus 3? And also is it possible to change quick settings icons?
I'm on a rooted OxygenOs 4.0.3 and using twrp recovery
For flashable fonts visit this thread. Don't forgett to mount system before flash it.

Now about icons, you can change these via substratum in custom ROMs, but I'm not sure if OOS support that.

Hi,
I know one can install new fonts from LG World, but most of these are variations on a (crap) theme? Handwriting and 'flowery' fonts and such like.
I have tried to modify an APK file with the Roboto Condensed Font, resigned the APK which installs but doesn't show the Roboto Condensed Font.
Without root, is there any other way to install 'custom' fonts by modifying an APK that comes from a free font from LG World?
Thanks for any help. I'm sure lots of others would be interested in this?
:fingers-crossed:
I'm interested, tried the same, no luck.
Need Roboto Condensed for LG phone.
Devs please??
in theme section theres a font zip. flash in twrp. but cant remember if it has that requested front.
I'm upgraded from g4 815 to Oppo r11s and wanna install the Oreo emoji ttf without root on nougat stock
I'm in a similar situation. I've developed my own font and want to install it on my LG Tribute Dynasty 7.1 unrooted.
I'd like to install it the legit way instead of renaming the font file or rooting the phone.
Is it possible to develop an installer using App Inventor 2 or Thunkable to do this?
I have some prior programming knowledge (php, JavaScript) so I'm not unfamiliar with programming entirely.
I am trying ifont donate package but still can't change font !!
Hi.
I have miui 14. I tried to apply a custom local font by "zfont 3" (and also "MiuiCostumFont").
It installs the font and says to choose and apply it but the font is not shown in "Fonts".
I tried all 3 methods but none of works. The font (or the theme) is not shown in Themes app.
