Is it possible to get the black status bar from Sense UI (or a similar status bar) without rooting the device? I don't want the entire Sense UI on my Nexus One, nor do I want to root, but I do love that status bar. Anyone know if it's possible?
No. Root or nothing.
Look for a desire status bar morph and install Metamorph from the Market.... no root needed
Metamorph very much requires root. What with patching .apk files and everything.
There has to be a way!!!

Metamorph even informs you upon installation that it requires root
The only way is via root. Well that or buy a Desire.
you need to root. theres absolutely no way to modify system files without rooting and getting read/write permissions on the system partitions, this is what root is for.
Create a sticker and slap it on.

Got the Roboto font and its slick! I uploaded it to my dropbox for your enjoyment!
Note: I got this online not myself I take no credit. I only uploaded it.

To install:
Download file on your phone. Once complete open Root Explorer and navigate to /sdcard/downloads and long press on the zip you just downloaded. Choose to extract all to /sdcard/extracted
If you don't already have the app download Font Changer from the market (free). Once downloaded navigate in Root Explorer to /sdcard/extracted and copy both Roboto font files. Paste them in /sdcard/.fontchanger. Now open up font changer and apply Roboto font!
This worked awesome. Never had done it before and your instructions were easy. Thanks again.

Anyway to make the font slightly smaller? The default size is kinda big.
Other Method
I found it easier to just download Font Installer from the Market and then select Roboto from the list. Only minor issue was my phone seemed to freeze when I pressed yes to reboot, waited several minutes, did a battery pull, and then everything worked fine. I really like this font!

Yeah mine did the same thing and i did the pull and all seems to be working.
I love this font!! looks great!!
One other way, if you have ROM Toolbox...
Under Theme Settings-->System Fonts. It's at the bottom of the list. Just install from there and reboot.
I didn't have any problems with a slow reboot or anything.
I like how clean and legible this font is...very happy I installed it! Thanks!

it depends. if you want, you can use this to change the font on your SMS app, eg go sms or chomp sms. you can also use this font in your eBook app eg Aldiko ...
you cant change the whole system font without rooting though. it would be like... i dont know, installing anything on windows guest mode? thats what root does, take you out of guest mode... or something like that
Links dead, can you post it please? Thank you. x
Hi there.
I have V20a installed on my LGO4X and also BL unlocked and rooted. I would like to add new fonts to my phone. I tried to copy some *.ttf's over /system/fonts and changed theirs permissions like the other font files. That doesn't work, can't see any new options from Settings->Display->Font type. I did reboot too. Didn't try to overwrite stock font, but if other method exists I would prefer to keep original ones. Also tried some apps from google play with no luck.
Anyone know how to do that?
You can replace the ones that are shown in the settings - display - fonts with your fonts. Restart system, do there and activate. Should do the trick. Make sure you place right permissions when you replace fonts or you will end up in boot loop.. no joke.. happened to me on my old phone.

I've been trying overwrite original files and at the end of all my phone finished as a piece of sh*t... I was forced to reinstall V20a. Maybe I just forgot to change permissions.
I tried to install fonts via "font installer". It worked on 4.0.3, but now... on 4.1.2, V20_A ... *bricked*

I've just rooted my phone and installed the Virginity rom and here are my two questions :
1. When I change system font, it applies to everything except for keyboard - is it normal? Is there any way to make font change affect the keyboard ?
2. I like s3mini digital clock more than s4 one, so before flashing I did a backup of the stock rom, got DigitalClock.apk from it but I cant to get it working on virginity.
First I've deleted s4 digital clocks from system/aps folder so there would be no conflicts, and then placed the s3 DigitalClock.apk there, but it wont show up in the widgets menu even after the reboot.
When I tried to install it normally, instead of hard-copying it there, the message says that installation was successful but its still not on the widgets list, it doesnt even appear in system/aps. How can I get it to work?

I guess you didnt change the system permissions just change the permissions rw-r-r then reboot
If I have helped you... dont just say thanks...HIT the thanks button..!!:good:
Permissions were rw-rw-r by default so that sadly didnt help
HELP
did u find to fix already?
Hi,so i know on older Android versions it was not possible to change the fonts without root. But i am now wondering if there is not perhaps a way on Android 10 because i remember seeing a fonts folder somewhere in the settings menu. I think it was under display or in developer options,buth there is just one font listed and i would like to know if we cant somehow add others without root?
