Thank you very much for writing this up. I will give it a try!

I used to install fonts on the go with Rom Toolbox but on the One only 1 font over 5 is working,many of them will freeze the phone on boot.
Dunno if someone has found an app 100% compatible yet

Will try this evening, thanks

Well for most font apps. It can fully apply on samsung only. For other phone, we need to use carefully as it may cause boot loop.
And now for the One, there are some font apps too, but it still cannot help to change all your font in the system. You can try, but I recommend you to use the method above.
Font apps recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont
Note, it can only change some system font only, not all..... e.g. you can see your installed font in some apps, while in homepage, you will see the stock font

I found a good solution,I downloaded a font resize app because all that matters for me is bigger fonts,I have a short vision weakness

I have the problem of fonts restoring to it's original fonts after reboot.
Someone said to flash custom kernel with rw capabilites change (or) delete certain .ko files under /system/modules.
I can't find how to do both and any ideas please?
Thanks in advance.

thank you, I downloaded it, too many files along with ttf file, what to do?
if you use the "font changer" app, there will be a folder in your sdcard named ".fontchanger", you just put the 2 files there(e.g. Zegoe.ttf and Zegoe-Bold.ttf), then once you open the actual fontchanger app it will be there as one of the choices, just click it then apply and reboot
alternatively, you can just use root explorer to overwrite the 2 files in /system/fonts:
- first, rename your desired font to DroidSans.ttf(for regular) and DroidSans-Bold.ttf(for the bold)
- put the 2 files in system/fonts overwriting the original files then set permissions to rw-r-r then reboot
*those two files are all you need, the normal and the bold .ttf

no fonts are available for wave 5750 even via samsung apps for bada 2.0
When using "More Fonts" option, it does not find any fonts. The only fonts that work on the phone are 2 other fonts I found while browsing the phone using Stune. ONe is "BadaGothicBrowser" and the other "Input_Dial".
I have tried changing names, font names (Via Hex) but no other founts other than these 3 fonts present within the firmware works.
Does anyone know what is being checked which is causing other fonts not to work?
Thanks in advance.
You must edit CSC file to add new fonts to Wave575.
CSC_SXXXX_Open_Europe_Common_XXX\CSCrcs\SystemCSC\Font
Add to this folder new fonts and flash phone.
PS. I don't know does WaveRemaker support Wave 575
i will try this.
once i load the csc file in wave remaker, i presume that the new fonts need to be added to the dump folder, then should I save it as un-compressed CSC and then flash the phone using the new csc file?
Hi pawlakpl, i used sTune & drag the font to Mount/Mmc/Others/ap24y6878b/Res/Font folder. But after copying the file my phone keep restarts itself again & again. I can't even off the phone. So I take out battery, power up the phone & the phone keep restarts itself again & again. Kindly advise what to do now. Thanks...

Thanks for info. I know that some fonts may cause boot loop while loaded into soft, didn't know that the same with installing on mmc.
Just put your SD card to any SD reader and delete modified font. Delete folder or restore original font.

ICS and Fonts?

I just recently moved to ICS on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4g Touch) and I can't seem to get all fonts in all locations system/apps to change to the new font.
Up until now, I have always used rom toolbox pro to flash my fonts with my Gingerbread roms and everything has always been themed in the chosen text (all apps/menus/text on websites/text in facebook ect).. Love the patronne font. So I upgraded my phone to the Blue Kuban ICS rom built off of FF18. I downloaded romtool box pro to change my fonts like I have always done in the past. I select the font and then install. After the reboot from the fonts being updated, the system menus updated and anything that shows regular (non bold, non italic) fontsdisplays as the new patronne font.
Anything within apps that have bold or italic fonts does not appear as patronne. They appear as the regular system fonts. So i go into the font installer preferences within the rom tool box app and cloctopia.tff and roboto-Regular.tff are selected.
​I have tried to select (enable) the roboto-bold and the roboto-italic with no success. the phone will not boot after rom toolbox pro messes with those files.
I restored the default fonts. Then installed the rosemary and a few other flipfonts that are all apks that do not require a reboot/flash. Now the system font is updated (not anything with the clock widget) and italic fonts are now showing the installed apk but bold fonts still show system default font and not new themed text. This is the same case with other fonts that I have tried to install as well.
I have listed some apps below that are not consistent on displaying the themed font. Probably due to which roboto its referencing???
Patronne font from rom toolbox
System menus - patronne
RSS Demon - Feed list - system default, article list system default, article Patronne
Touchdown Exchange - Email list (read and unread emails), appointment/calendar, and contacts show default font
Facebook feed text - System default
XDA app - Forum list - system default, thread list - system default, article (user text) typed text is patronne and quoted text is system default.
APK - Flip fonts (rosemary, sony sketch ect)
System menus - does reflect new themed text
RSS Demon - Feed list - system default, article list reflects installed themed font, article displays in installed themed font
Touchdown Exchange - Email list (unread email - shows bold - shows system default and read emails show in themed font), appointment/calendar system default, and contacts show themed font
Facebook feed text - System default
XDA app - Forum list - themed, thread list - themed, article (user text) typed text is themed and quoted text is themed.
I am guessing that ICS handles things differently with fonts than GB. Is there anything that I can do to get all text displaying the themed text?? I am at a loss on what else to try in order to get all text being themed and not partially.
I was hoping that someone with more experience on fonts/themes would be able to tell me how to fix or what to change so all text appears the same.
Found a solution to the incomplete font themeing
Well after some trial and error I finally figured out what was going on with the fonts. ICS is way more picky on the font files than GB was. None of the font changing programs (romtoolbox Pro, flipfont ect) work 100% or even without at times causing boot loops. This is because the apps themselves do not update the metadata to match the font name. GB never checked the meta data or I guess didn’t care if it matched. ICS does and if it doesn’t match, you get boot loops.
The installable APKs do a better job but would still miss updating Bold and/or Italic fonts.
This is what I did to get 100% themed font without boot loops. Unfortunately it is a manual process.
*****Now for the disclaimer: You must have some technical know how in order to successfully do this. I am not responsible for any boot loops that may result in doing this. Please make sure to have a nandroid of your phone before proceeding.*******
Obviously the phone needs to be rooted to complete all of these steps.
Have your desired font in regular, bold, italic, bolditalic.
You will need a font editor. ( I used FontCreator – Free 30day trial)
The process on how to edit the classifications on whichever font editor you are using.
You need a file explorer app ( I used root explorer)
**backup of your phone (nandroid)**
So take your desired font files on your PC and rename them accordingly
Regular font ==> Roboto-regular.ttf
Bold font ==> Roboto-Bold.ttf
Italic font ==> Roboto-Italic.ttf
Bolditalic font ==> Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
Now you will need the font editor program for the following steps.
Open each of your newly renamed files and change the classifications to represent what the actual font will be used for.
If you use FontCreator you will need to go to Format menu ==> settings menu to check the general tab for the classification there as well as metrics tab to make sure they represent bod, regular, italic ect
Once you have updated all the classifications, save them and copy them to your SD card.
Now we need to update the permissions of the files. Now you can copy the permissions exactly from the /system/fonts folder if you want. I just used rw-rw-rw for the four font files. You will need to copy the font files to the phone inorder to change the permissions. I created a folder in the /data/app folder with the name of my font “patronne” and placed the four files in there. I then changed all of the permissions on the files.
Now make sure you copy the original files listed below in the /system/fonts folder to another folder in case you want to return the font to the default font.
Roboto-regular.ttf
Roboto-Bold.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
Once you have backed up the four files, now copy (make sure to enable R/W in root explorer) your new fonts into the /system/fonts folder and you will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Press ok.
Now at this point the phone may lock up and/or you get cryptic characters on your screen since you just replaced files that may have been in use, so you need to reboot it. I just pulled the battery out and put it back in.
Then boot up your phone and should have all themed fonts that correctly display for regular,bold,italic ect.
If your phone bootloops then just restore from the Nandroid and check all the files for proper settings and try again..
Hope this helps anyone that has run ir is running into this. I just like having all my text be the same font and not 90% of it.
Thats waaay too complicated. Do you think there can be an easy way of doing this for flipfont apk's?
I am not experienced with what all the flip font apks do or how to update them to be 100% successful in converting all fonts. However in my experience I have had to take the font file out of the apk do these edits I described and then copy them over as the apks still didn't update 100% of what I seen on the phone. If you install an apk and it changes everything to your liking then your good. If it doesnt then the only way I have been successful with fonts is to do what I outlined. Its somewhat complicated but works and doesnt cause boot loops if you do it properly ... maybe someone with better understanding of how to update the apks could chime in how to go that route. I am sure there will be edits and possibly complicated per say to update them so you have an easy install.

Difficulty Installing Fonts on Huawei

Hello everyone, I am having trouble installing font themes on my Huawei phone. I use ifont and I select huawei mode, the theme appears in the app themes and I select the font because the theme has the font name. I reboot and the theme is applied but after a couple of hours the font becomes gibberish and I have to reboot. When I reboot the phone reverts to the original font. Even if there is no problem and I turn off the phone, when I restart it the original font is there instead of the new theme font.
I have also tried putting the hwt files in the hwthemes folder but when I do these themes do not appear in the theme app so I cannot select them.
I really hate the fonts that came with the phone and would really love to find a permanent way to change the font.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Is your phone rooted? I think the most stable way of installing fonts is rooting the device and using font-replacing apps that needs root permission
you can use other software that changes fonts, i used on some samsung galaxy s a software called Font Installer, the phone was rooted, heres the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer remember you must be rooted, i havent tested it on my p6... so do some backup, and donwload the rom you are using now on your sd card on a folder called dload, so if you get boot loop you can reapair it faster.

[MAGISK][MOD]Custom Boot animation and Fonts

Hello,
Here is a quick guide on how to replace the boot animation and system font on oos 10.0 (Android Q).
ROOT is required.
Boot animation:
1. Download the attached zip and extract it.
2. Download a custom boot animation of your choice (XDA Boot animations collection).
3. Rename the downloaded boot animation file to "bootanimation.zip" and copy it to "BootAndFont > system > media > bootanimation.zip".
You can skip now if you don't want custom font.
If you don't want to change Fonts, just delete the "fonts" directory.
4. Download custom fonts of your choice.
5. Rename the fonts to their relatives in the "BootAndFont > system > fonts " directory.
6. After everything is in place, using root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) move both "BootAndFont" and "module.prop" into the device to the following location
"/data/adb/modules/"
(You can see the final result in the attached images.)
7. Go to Magisk, refresh the modules and make sure that the new module is now on the last.
Reboot the device and everything should work!
*Tested on OP7T, Should work on every OOS 10.
*Current Font is Germania-one, you can leave it as-is if you want.
Feel free to ask questions.

What happens if i have a separate font module? Will that get overwritten even if i delete the font folder?
Can confirm this works! I'm running OP7TP5G (TMobile) running the latest Magisk.
If anyone is unclear of the directions, once you bring the custom boot animation zip in the BootandFont folder, you have to just simply take the BootandFont folder and move it to the location OP mentions. Go into Magisk and confirm, once you are done reboot and you should have the new bootanimation (and or font)
This method is better than the other bootanimation thread on this forum as this does not require you to flash in Magisk nor worry about the permission write error you will get. Much appreciated it hella weird too because I was up all night trying to figure this out and then you come up with this guide ???

If you are removing the "fonts" folder, then it will not overwrite your current font.

Hi,
You are correct, on part 6, I wrote by mistake to move the bootandfont.zip instead of moving the directory only.
To apply your custom font, first, you need to understand that in different scenarios different fonts are used.
for example when tinted or Bold.
if you have a tinted version of your font should replace it according to the font name.
if you have just 1 version of your font, you can duplicate your font file and rename the copies with every one of the "Roboto" file.
You can see in the attached photo that all of the files are the same. (They are all GermaniaOne that was renamed to what the system is looking for).
I hope it works for you, please contact me if you still have troubles

Gotcha....Thanks alot bro...
I have a noobie question. Can't you just do the simple: move downloaded boot animation to the system file and replace it with the the stock boot animation and change permissions? A reply would be much appreciated

I've got same question here. When i'll have a free moment i'll try to flash this module with ui sounds.
EDIT: nope. There's something wrong with product mount, it's not working
@yaaria thank you for the guide, I installed animation etc. I downloaded font : roboto.medium.ttf
How select the font? must rename the roboto.medium.ttf, to Germaniaone.ttf ? and delete the ( first) Germaniaone.ttf?
Will this mod (font change attribute) work on stock AOSP ROM?
Nevertheless thanks for contribution.
Edit - Never mind it worked flawlessly.... Thanks for awesome tweak.
OMG Thank You! This is so awesome! I was looking for a way to change both of these and you killed 2 birds with one module. At first it didn't work but I then realized that the BootandFont folder was inside another BootandFont folder somehow, all I did was copy the folder containing the module.prop and system folder to the adb modules folder and deleted the duplicate folder it was in but the fonts didn't work. Then I realized I needed to copy the font I wanted running on My phone 18 times and rename them to all those roboto files, so the system loads the file but gets a different font! I now have the glitchy Cyberpunk 2077 Oni/Samurai mask boot image and the OCR-A font running flawlessly on My OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren. You're awesome!
hey when i try to replace the stock animation it keep saying "the read only file error cannot change" stuff what should i do now ??
Why wont this work on OOS 11?
