[Q] Font change question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night I was using Root Tools and decided to try out the 'font installer'. I tried out the 'Droid' font and was not fond of it, nor any of the other fonts. I reverted to the stock font but noticed the pattern unlock screen clock in the top left still had the Droid font. I tried getting it back to the stock font but have no idea how to do it at this point. I want to revert everything to the stock; I find all the other ones rather ugly.
Rooted Samsung Captivate - I896 - 2.1 Rogers
Any help would be much appreciated !
Edit: Even through the settings on the captivate (settings>sound and display> fonts) it won't revert back to normal.

I guess what I'm asking is if someone can post the default/stock captivate fonts and tell me how to 're-apply' them ?

There is a collection of fonts in the themes forum. I would try installing one of those, applying it, and restore to the stock font. Do this through the font selection in display settings, instead of that other app. Maybe applying and restoring though the "official" way will revert it for you.
I don't know what that app does. If it replaces the fonts in your system folder with a new font, that method may not fix the original font, but there is dozens of fonts, you may find one you like better than stock.

SGS'ers on ICS - Post what apps n add ons and mods you've done

Ok thought I would take the rubbish out of the dev thread.
So far I have done this:
Flashed JVT from start with custom .PIT file. Speeds up Ice Cream sandwich, I've tested this and it works great. Visually no lag and it works on top of any lag fix you do after wards.
[HOW TO]

So here it is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/12MB_Gain_NAND_Symlinked_Modem.bin.zip
Download and instructions - Everything you need is in that zip (its not a CWM zip by the way) load it to your PC and unzip. Follow the PDF print outs I have included and also as an acknowledgement to ykkfive's hard work (this references directly back to coolya's work from XDA https://github.com/cmsgs/utilities/tree/master/pit-stuff)

1. You can do this by taking a CWM Nandroid backup of your current setup.
2. Flash back to stock using Odin and the files I have provided in my drop box zip file.
3. I have added modem.bin file, script manager apk, buszybox apk and superuser apk for everyone should they wish to test the script and modem on the base JVT setup that they just flashed.
4. When it works correctly boot into recovery and then restore your CWM Nandroid backup and viola your done
5. Boot up - NB: You will notice you have no reception until you run the script in script manager.
You set on moot the script to run and in ICS it seems to work better than on JVT (where I had to initiate the script even after checking the onboot function).

Nova Launcher! Yeeeew finally a replacement. ****s on the standard launcher, can make GOSMS my sms app in the dock setup just how I always wanted it. Go Launcher Ex fails big time on ICS so don't bother installing it (even though I love it) the animations on GO Launcher cause big time crashing hahaha test for ya self for LOLs
You will ditch the stock launcher in an instant once your on this. It allows resizing of widgets and app draw also has widget draw like standard launcher.

Ice cream sandwich clock download from market. It looks like the clock in the pictured icon of the clock....not the gay looking analog clock that comes with it that I tried for ages to work out how to change the skin when you can't.
Haven't got a link for it atm but its in the Market so just download from there.
Feel free to post up anything additional that would be helpful

Whats the difference? I am running a tweaked version of MyUI ICS ROM on my Phone and freakin rocks!
The MyUI version of the ICS ROM based off OneCosmic's RC 2.11.
- List of Mods. 1% increments on the battery using the similar style to Perka's MOD of Elin ROM ICS. Uses the ICS font for numerals upto 100 and has blue lightning bolt whilst charging.
- Uses Nova Launcher and Glitch Kernel but with the nice white standard Google boot image and tweaked Boot animation as well.
-Center Date in notification dropdowm menu
Drop box is here:

Feel free to try it out. Just do Nandroid backup of your ROM and then flash this, then restore Data from your Nandroid backup and your back in action
anyway to stop vibration on lockscren?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think there is, u need to search in settings of the phone.
Thanks alot, Ive been looking for swype and a good and proper replacement launcher!
swype thread link broken?
didnt find a way to disable vibration on lock screen. if you disable haptic feedback in settings, it still vibrates.
furthermore, the vibration on haptic feedback is very high and not configureable.. thats annoying. disabled it, using now a keyboard with custom vibration length (htc_ime mod, yeah - still running under ics)

That one doesn't work after i tested it. The look of it is nice but the apk is made for a much bigger phone. It stretches too wide for the screen lol.
I went back to FlexT9 keyboard. By far the best swype out there that I have ever used. I keep deviating but I keep returning back to that old faithful hahaha. The issue with ICS is that it won't let you over ride the standard ICS keyboard to use anything other than native. So you need to freeze the keyboard apps with Titanium Backup. Then install the keyboard of your choice...in my case FlexT9. then I go and remove the apks from system/app like LatinIME and any associations with the standard keyboard, dictionary etc and put them in a folder on my SD card for "just-in-case"....cause that Justin bloke has saved me on many occasions lol.
I managed to use SwiftKey X without any problem - I do not need to freeze the stock ics keyboard apps.
i guess u knw wt i have done ..
You've found my very very very old thread that I started when ICS only first came to SGS...hahah

[Q] Paranoid Android change font?

Fairly new to this Rom flashing lark, so far have installed and am really enjoying Paranoid Android 2.16 but I would like to change the system font, as I don't like the one it comes with. Have tried a couple of Font Installer apps from the market, but they only lead to it not booting and having to reflash the rom.
I thought the point of custom roms was so you can change things to have them as you want? Why deny us this one (surely) simple thing?
Any help would be appreciated

I even have bought an app that installs additional fonts to the system.
And it's not even a root app... selecting a font is just a regular android feature.
Luckily i still can use my Rom Toolbox Pro App.
But with the other app i can select the font normally via settings...
and i don't have to reboot...

[Q] Font Size

Hi to All,
Just want to ask if any of you experienced the font to revert back to normal after restart? I'm using the tiny font size for my note. but every time i restart it goes back to normal.
I'm currently on official JB - XLSE rom.
Thanks for all the help.
Kind regards,
Kenn
No. The font remains the same.
Thanks for the confirmation. I reflashed the rom and installed apps one by one and found that the font manager is the culprit.

Back to stock font

Hey guys! I changed my font vía iFont and didnt backup my original font (stock) i want to go back and i dont know what to do. I read an article on the web using font installed but as the app crashes i have no alternatives. Thank you!

Change font back to stock

Hi. I've installed a theme which changed my font.
Now I can't change it back to stock.
I've tried to enable the default themes but no luck, the font is still this cartoonish one.
I found a useful solution.
Change to this theme* to get Helvetica, which is almost like stock, then change to your desired theme. If your theme doesn't come with a font then it will not be replaced.
