At least in GB and up you can increase the font size across the whole OS, however when I picked up the Moto X which has 4.2.2, using a third party app to increase font higher than 130% tells me it can't be done with 4.2 or newer, why would Google remove such a thing and is there still a workaround to it such as rooting? 130 is fine but a touch too small, I had 160% on my HTC One X since using apps like Skype and IM+ fonts were so small even when set to "very big" in the apps.

Got it, I managed to root and then install a font changer app that uses root, now the fonts in IM+ and such aren't so small anymore.

I believe you can also change the size if the font per app with the exposed framework module app settings, besides giving you dual panel view also

Am I doing something wrong or is the wallpaper utility pretty bad?
Every wallpaper I try to use I have to resize but it resizes as if I'm using it on a small screen (Like a Blackberry curve screen). Is there any way to just use a wallpaper without resizing it? Actually I guess I mean cropping it now that I'm thinking about it.
I downloaded the exact size wallpapers for my Hero but then I have to crop it like it's for a small screen and of course I can only use a fraction of the actual image, I must be doing something wrong
Use "Wallpaper set & save" from market.
Also remember that the "correct" size for a wallpaper on your Android is 2 x screenwidth at 1 x screenheight.
So for your Hero that's a 640x480 wallpaper. I use WallpaperPlus to manage wallpapers and have perfect-quality screens
Plus, when you do it using the usual way (without any additional application) note that you have to pull the selection rectangle all the way out...
Common mistake, if you didn't know that already ofcourse...

Thanks WallpaperPlus works nicely. I still don't understand why the regular wallpaper utility does what it does with the cropping business.
Regular wallpaper application works just fine as well over here Just pull all the way out.
I am currently using ADWLauncher with the main dock bar off(extended desktop) and using the Hidden Dockbar. I was wondering if an app exists that lets you create custom notifications for your dock bar. I searched all through ADW but did not see an option for it.
I would love to be able to have a custom notification font size/type.
Thanks in advance.
(ex: If I have two SMS messages a number 2 will show in the column/row corner above text messages.)

There's an app in the market ADWNotifier. I've been using it for a while and it works great. I think you have to have EX version of Launcher, but I believe the Notifier is free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher.notifications&feature=search_result
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that app out and it does work great. Only thing is they use the bubble and only bubble. Are there any other apps that are more customizable?
If not ill stick with ADW Notifier.
Hi!
If I remember correctly, there only is the bubble, but you can customize it's color and size.
hmm, I know I have seen people them in custom themes or whatnot. I guess the next question is how do i replace it manually?

you cant replace the bubbles, unless u modify the java code
So i want to write BRWSR and GAMES on the second and fourth dock icon space of the pictured dock (third being the app launcher). I have absolutely no skills with this sort of stuff so im hoping you folks can help me out
I am providing the dock image as well as the desired font (senoe ui light to match mattedblues theme). Ideally the text would be enclosed within the dock margin and still be legible (hopefully the dock isnt too narrow).
This is my first time linking an image or my dropbox so hopefully i linked them correctly. A million thanks in advance! Sorry if this isn't the kind if post that goes in this section.

if your using an adw launcher you can dload an app called text icon creator. it allows you to fully edit color, size, font +. if your not i cant imagine that there wouldnt be other app options capable of the same kind of editing. hope this helps
simple text is another good one

I edited the default ICS lock screen font because I didn't like how some of the numbers looked.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?viadif13vh9hy4k
Download is a .TTF file, I don't know how to make a CWM flashable zip, sorry.
It's like typographical spot the difference, I see the 5 and 6 are different, how many differences are there?

1,5,6,7 and 9 are the most obvious, there are subtle changes to 2 and 4. Only 3 and 8 are unedited.
Updated, can someone use it and upload a screenshot/preview please?
Didn't noticed until now but that "1" looks terrible.
Anyway, I'm using this app called Type Fresh which requieres AndExplorer and root. Did a backup of my fonts, replaced the font, rebooted, nothing changed.
Altough, there're other fonts there also. AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf, AndroidClock_Solid.ttf, Clockopia.ttf.
Worked great through Font Changer in CM4DX Revnumbers (Cm7 on Droid X). Thanks for this!
I have a Note 3 running rooted stock 4.4.2 and my emojis are all jacked up. Some of them show as black and white (see screenshot 1); the ones with different skin tones show up as if they are two separate emojis (which is pretty mind-boggling, see screenshot 2). I've tried the Emoji Switcher app, I've tried manually replacing AndroidEmoji.ttf, SamsungEmoji.tff, and NotoColorEmoji.ttf, all to no avail.
It seems to be trying to load emojis from another source (like the main font, maybe) but I don't really understand how that is possible. I've tried to research but all I can dig up is 'Use the Emoji Switcher app' which isn't helpful in my situation. That app will change some of the stock emojis but it doesn't touch any of the newer emojis.
I do know that Samsung devices like mine basically run with two separate fonts in parallel (the font in the system folder, and the one installed by APK) which I've always thought is really stupid. I dunno if maybe that's contributing to the problem, as I use Noto Serif as my font in the settings, but FreeFont in the system folder (so IPA, other alphabets, etc. will render properly).
So I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
