Changing Fonts - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is so frustrating..
i could not find a way to change system font in setting, it looks like Z1 does not have option at all.
Does anyone know how to change fonts? i wish i could just install font.apk files like galaxy series!!

You can't.
I have many flashable fonts but you have to be rooted and have recovery for that or manually change one file at the other.
Here ya go

Use ROM Toolbox Pro to change your fonts. Thats how I did it. Yes... you need to be rooted.

I already did that, but what I am looking for is how to make the windows fonts from my pc work on android. Because if I copy the fonts to system/fonts on android it will not simply work. I think it should be converted/changed. I really want to know.
Thanks again
Again, theres a thread on how to do this, involves a script. No idea what you are doing using your method.

I know how to change the android font. I use the Root Explorer for that and it did the trick. My problem is when I use a ttf font from any source it will not work while when I use any font that are taken from an andoid ROM and posted in the web it work.
So, what does make the android fonts special? and what I have to do to make any font taken from my PC the same?
Thanks

I guess it will. You may have to uninstall existing stock launcher first. Just make sure you have another launcher installed when you remove it

Hi
would you share with us. Would be nice.
@lonestride
I think no but haven't tested it.
I think after installation you have to push the home button. Then you will get
a screen which launcher you will use.

love the stock launcher

It is the same app but it was updated since it was first included in earlier roms. You could download an older stock rom and extract the apk if you need an older version.

I didn't have a file manager in my stock rom. I do miss a Sony file manager that blends in with the rest of the UI... What region of rom did you have? Was it a branded rom or generic?
Sony never released his own file manager... You just used branded version of stock.

Sorry for OP, but i like solid explorer more than others, and it have a special feature that can auto-set permission when moving app to system/app

So far it's the best file manager. This is file manager which is worth the price. Others you can delete.

I flashed the new Nexus 5 launcher and it replaced the Z1's softkeys with the 5's. I don't like these keys and want the Z1's. Can someone provide me with the required files.

You make backups with recovery. You can also make a backup of the xperia home apk with titanium backup that you can restore,
I can provide you with the file when I get time.
Just remember that in future it is always good practice to backup things up before you flash anything or replace system apps. that way when things go wrong (Or if you don't like the result) then you can easily go back without having to ask for someone to provide you with the files that you once had on your phone.

Hey I saw the zip with the files but how am I supposed to flash them? This isn't a CWM zip..I only need to flash the system UI... Launcher is ok
You throw them in system/apps and overwrite.
Restart and then it should be back to normal.

Edit this idea was a massive fail.. I had to factory reset ater backing up my data and reflash the ROM... It seems the smaller softkeys are due to the ROM. What can I do to have the stock softkeys? How do I flash those @gregbradley?

seeing as you never mentioned which rom you were on I presumed you wanted the stock systemUI.apk.
If you want something different then extract it from your rom download and put it in system/app using root explorer and change the permissions so they are the same as other apps.
HINT
put it in system
long press on it and choose change permissions
change them to this
[*][*][-]
[*][-][-]
[*][-][-]
then move it to system/app
reboot

Here you go, just put it in system/media and set permissions to rw-r--r--. I didn't test it because I'm not home, so first make backup.
