[Q] Paranoid Android change font? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 change question

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.

Lil Help Here 😡!!! Vue theme chooser stuck on "clean" theme!

Hey XDA, I am running the latest Viper One Rom on my m7 and the last few updates haven't succeeded in correcting my problem, so I am reachingout to see if I am the only one experiencing the issues. One of my favorite features of our phones is the zoe and the ability to match custom themes to the chosen content. Lately my phone is only allowing one theme to b used, it is literally stuck on the clean theme. When I try to choose another theme it highlights only when I choose it, then instantly goes back to the clean theme. I have tried doing a full clean flash of the latest Viper One Rom wiping all data, cache, and Calvin. To no avail I am still stuck on the clean the theme, and now the only option I can think of is going back to one the earlier versions of the Rom just to have my favorite features back. Any feedback would b rad guys, are u experiencing this too? Or is it an isolated issue with just my phone! Again thanx XDA ?

Lockscreen Widgets?

Will we be able to get lock screen widgets with any of the ROMs? Or since the ROMs have to be based on TouchWiz, does that mean we're stuck with basically just themed roms? None of the ones out yet seem interesting, they all just look stock. I'm looking for a rom with custom battery icons, new features, lockscreen widgets, etc. Really missing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the lack of customization available for the S5.

Check out ninjamorph(in the playstore). I just found it a few days ago u can theme the heck out of your phone with it. Once you get the hang of it it's a breeze. However you do have to have your own icons to swap out or just edit the ones that are there. Here's my power menu themed with ninjamorph

ok, tested and working on my device based off of G900F OEM, this mod should work for all variants. let me know how it goes
copy to sdcard, reboot to SS Recovery and flash, then reboot.
to add or change widgets swipe left or right on the lockscreen

Very much appreciate that you took the time to do this - I'm assuming I need the ROM as well, correct? Or will this work with the stock ROM just by following your steps?

This "Should" work with stock as well as any custom ROM, (I say should because as a mod it is independant of any other requirements) but make sure you flash through SafeStrap recovery make a backup first just to be safe.

Gave it a try but no bueno with the stock ROM. After flashing the zip and rebooting, I lost the lockscreen and hardware menu and home buttons entirely, only the back button was working. Restoring my backup now -- tonight I'll try flashing your ROM and then install the lockscreen widgets.
Wanted to update this thread in case anyone else wanted Lockscreen Widgets back - I installed SafeStrap and the KoolKit ROM then flashed the zip file and I have LockScreen widgets again. Huge thank you to @cstayton for coming up with a solution so quickly!
You can also use Xposed instead of flashing SafeStrap to get Lockscreen Widgets...

xPosed has lots of modules for all sorts of different things HOWEVER, xPosed also causes some very abhorent behavior in custom roms and can cause bad behavior even in stock rooted devices most devs shy away from xPosed in favor of hard coded mods. if the module works fine for then great but if you have issues like private mode not working serious lag on your device or other problems try using the hard coded mods with a custom rom

Supporting fonts

Hello!
So, I'll go straight to the point: I use twitter a lot and several people use symbols/letters I can't see due to my font not being updated (I assume).
I decided to use a module to get the iOS 11 font, it looks cool and all but unfortunately I still can't see those symbols.
The question is: is there a way to support all these symbols by adding them to my current font or something?
Edit: Yes, my phone is rooted and I'm currently on MIUI 10 (Xiaomi EU ROM)
Hi
Did you try this theme ?

I guess you can chose only font, once installed on santoni ?

[Pie] - No Root - Dark Mode

Hi all,
Just updated my XZ1C to Android 9.
I had Substratum with some dark themes installed on Android 8.
I did not read any substratum notes, and just updated to android 9. :facepalm:
Apparently Android needs root now for custom themes to apply.
Is this really the case?
Is the only option to root, to get dark-mode back again?
I can't seem to find custom ROMS which are Pie based.
Only a beta of LineageOS for Android8.

There is Xpie, not that I am recomending it in any way. Loading it looks pretty problematic.
But if you're going to root your phone to load a custom rom, then Substratum will work fine on rooted 9

do the swift themes work with stock/sony apps e.g. dialer, settings, files, etc.? or only AOSP / custom roms?
there's a fee for the installer app, when downloading the actual themes, is there an additional charge?
thanks!

no dice on the sony apps i'm afraid, with the exception of sony music. there's a full list of supported apps here. it's pretty much all google and AOSP apps and an assortment of other stuff.
re: payment, you pay for the app once and you can configure the theme however you want. so you can rechoose background and accent colours to your heart's content. much less onerous than substratum imo.
