So as the title asks... Why are all the fonts I install so small compared to the stock font?
I mean they are not "miniscule" but they appear quite a bit smaller than the stock font and are hard on the eyes.
Are they like this for everyone?

Even these ones ? http://www.appbrain.com/app/cleanex-flipfont/com.monotype.android.font.cleanex
And you didnt mess with LCD density right? (even though that would make all fonts small )

I will try this font. No... I have never messed with LCD Density in any way...
EDIT: So I installed that font you recommended but I dont really like it. Are there any others that you can recommend that will install full size?
I have installed some from the FLIPFONTS thread in Themes and Apps but they all instal to small.
Please let me know...

Not sure how many people already use this app but it let's you change your system font it is for root users only and it is just called font changer.

yeah I have been using that app for about a month now. I can't use the default font that came with this phone anymore because im so used to my new font lol. Which font do you use?
Thanks for the info, I love this app. Do you know of a way to change the font size? I set my LCD density to 200 (which was fine with the stock font) but the font I'm using now is a bit smaller and can be hard to read at times.

If u have root u can try changing the changing the dpi of the screen
LCD Resolution (Root) / Rom toolbox
but u need to use a diff launcher.. doesnt seem to work good with TW
I want to change the font size in every app, i m not rooted and i am back from root, so on stock if there is a way to reduce the size
yes reducing the DPI will reduce the fontsize and app icons as well
Or as shiv said, just adjust it in settings, there's an option for tiny, small large or extra large, works across the whole ui.

So far I've changed a handful of apps and all seems well.
I got a little ambitious though and was going to try and shrink the status bar a bit.
If I remember correctly (been using PA for a while), in the past all that required was changing the DPI for Android System and System UI.
However, doing this leaves me with a gap under the status bar and changing the DPI of Android System seems to affect all the apps...and royally screw up the Samsung keyboard. It works, but the graphics are massively stretched so you have to guess where the keys should be.
Changed these particular settings aren't a huge deal, was just curious if anyone else has had more success, or if I'm just doing something stupid

I'm wondering about the same thing. I have not touched anything with the status bar but would really like to shrink the ridiculously large font. I have changed DPI on a number of apps and no issues so far.
I've never messed with this but I'd love to get rid of the huge font everywhere. Haha

I changed mine to extra small
I also use apex launcher and changed all the icon sizes to 85% and increased all the rows/columns +1
this made it seem as if it is a better dpi but without hardcore modding of the individual dpi's

I'm just doing individual apps for now as well. 400 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for my eyes.
I changed my whole system to 320 dpi for play store compatability. Whatever dpi ya set make sure to set the tw apps to 480 so they arent screwed up. These include calculator, phone, contacts, camera, email, photo editor, tw home & tw easy home. Ive noticed the keyboard is finally multi dpi and its working just fine for me on 320 dpi. Oh by the way i used rom toolbox to switch my overall dpi & set my per app settings BEFORE changing dpi to prevent any fc's lemme know if ya need any help

I'm running 350 DPI with romtoolbox and apex launcher, it's running great for me, I like the size so much more

Yea changing the build.prop and then overriding a few apps is a much easier approach, good call.

Biggest thing is to make sure ya set the specific apps first haha. I set the whole thing once first and it was a big mess! With setting the apps I specified, the only weird thing i saw was if you go to task manager the top bar is off centered. You can still see everything but theres black space to the right. Other then that everything is just about perfect

Does running the dpi at 350 or 400 cause any issues with the play store? I don't have Xposed installed but I was thinking of using rom toolbox to set it at 350 or 400.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4
It may cause some apps not to show up in the app store because its an unrecognized dpi. Theres a module for xposed that restores app store compatability though I believe

Anyone what program needs to be set to 480 for the S-view window to appear correctly? Tried a bunch but nothing seems to affect it. Thanks

Yeah the clock/weather screen that appears when the s-view cover in closed within the plastic window. Unfortunately I thought it might be tied to system UI which sucks.

Is your phone and contacts working properly? I did the Rom Toolbox as well and set it to 360. I used Xposed to set the DPI to 480 for Contacts and Phone. The initial dialer looks correct. However, after the call connects, the dialer is in the middle of the screen instead of being down the bottom like how it is before the call. Did you run into this issue?

Looks like mine is working now after switching launchers. So the culprit is in the settings of the old launcher and has nothing to do with build.prop DPI. This is good news :good:

While we're on the topic of modifying the look and feel of the phone, can anyone tell me where in settings I need to go to turn off the Weather/Calendar widget on the lock screen? I can't seem to find it anywhere in either settings or calendar app.

I downloaded the beta. When I started the app this morning I saw that there is an update from the beta to 2.3.1. Anybody updated to this version? If so, any issues? Without being able to do a custom recovery I don't want to take too many chances on an infinite bootloop.
Working fine here.

Hey guys,
I want to change my fontsize.. In the Settings, I set the fontsize to "small", but in my opinion, it's to big. ^^'
Can I change the fontsize in build.prop or somewhere else?
Thanks for your help.

Download rom toolbox from Google play.. Loads of fonts, so I'm sure there will be something for you.. There is a free version and a paid version... Both versions do so much more though than fonts...

He means use those apps to find a smaller font. Some fonts are just smaller than others even at the same setting.
Yes I know.. It was just an idea, to change the fontsize in build.prop or in database..
But okay.. Thanks for ur help.
Just checked that font out.. it's looks small enough. But then, my eyes are going lol.
