How to change the lockscreen clock font? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm trying to change the lockscreen clock font, but i don't know the name of the font to change in system.
Could someone tell me the name of the lock screen clock font in the system/fonts folder that i need to change? Thanks in advance

Usually that call is in framework. Would have to decompile the Apk and change it.

This link has zips that change the font throughout the whole system including the lockscreen clock.

If your running xposed theres an awesome xposed module called "Lockscreen clock mods" thats amazing. Id check that out, its what I use.

Digging up an old thread here, but I'm trying to do the same thing as the OP but on my nexus 6p. I've looked at that thread and tried to install a couple of them, but they don't seem to change anything, particularly not on the lockscreen or the clock widget font. I'm on stock marshmallow, rooted, with xposed. Any suggestions?
EDIT: what i'm trying to do is revert the system font back to what it was like with lollipop: i don't like how they bolded the lockscreen clock or the clock widget, so i'm trying to change that, if that helps at all.

Actually that was the thread I was using before... Still no avail.

That's all I got; sorry it's not working! Are you downloaded the 6xx fonts or accidentally downloading the 5xx? Just trying to help trouble shoot!

Hmm... That may be part of the issue. I'm trying to use the stock lollipop fonts. Which should I download to get my mm phone to look like lp?

Idk what change in the system/font folder from lp to mm so with the N6P being on mm flash an mm font zip. For a font that looks like lp you're gonna have to scroll though the thread. I always used something other than stock. I'm sure there's one that is similar. Unfortunately I can't help with that!

How do I know if a font is written for mm or lp? The thread says they work for both...?

I thought at one point he had different links for the two but I could be mistaken! Hopefully I'll have time when I get out of work to pm you some that I've downloaded and I know is working on mm. If not I get up around 3pm so sometime around then if I get out late.
Edit: NV I seen your post in his thread.

i am just that good. i saw this thread a minute ago and already have the file for you uploaded and everything.
http://www.4shared.com/file/132234151/543640f1/blackbar_signed.html
its a small file because all it is framework-res.apk (that has the black statusbar_background.png and the statusbar.xml with white notification text) and services.jar which has the classes.dex file that has be changed so that the clock and date will be white.

Will this work on 4.1.11.1?

it was based off of the 4.0.4 template and has a services.jar not compatible with the one for stericsons lockscreen, so no it won't. sorry when cyanogen releases a stable version if you would like this i will do one for you then, just pm me when the time comes around and i will make you one
i need to test out the new colorChanger.jar anyways so i can go ahead and make one real quick for 4.1.11.1 give me about 10 minutes or so and i will have a link
and here is one for 4.1.11.1 with the status bar inverted so it should retain the curved look from the donut one.
http://www.4shared.com/file/134673715/a3acd40b/blackbar41111-new.html
i know there are people using this (its kind of obvious with my 4shared account showing how many times it gets downloaded), so my question is should i start a thread like this that has black status bars for people that want them? that way those that do want a black status bar know where to look to find it? if so, let me know and i will, its not like it takes any sort of time to make one. like 10 minutes at the most.
i can make them for well any rom (i think, not tested on rogers but i could try) just give me your rom (with a link to it would be nice) and i will see what i can make happen
Thanks a lot for this. I have been wanting this for quite some time, but kept telling myself I should just learn how to sign the zip on Linux and do it myself.
I was excited for this, but had some real issues. Number one, it will overwrite Stericsson's lock screen (makes sense since we replace the framework-res.apk and services.jar). Secondly, each time I use this, even after a fresh wipe and install, gmail force closes (and yes, I have tried fix_permissions).

I'll look into stericson's lockscreen when i get home from work tonight ,and i don't know why it would mess up gmail since it doesn't touch the .apk. i will look into this and see if i can get gmail to force close.

Thank you very much. I was very confused why Gmail would close myself. I tried many combinations of wiping and flashing, but each time my gmail would force close.
I tried this on 4.2.11.1 and I ended up doing a backup recovery. I would really like to have a black notification bar. Please help me in achieving this goal...

[FONTS] 300 flashable system fonts with screenshots

Hello all - I've been putting together a collection of simple flashable fontpacks. Originally, they only worked on the EVO 4G, but I've updated and signed them all so at this point, they should work on any android phone - if you can flash a zip through recovery, you should be able to flash these. I'm updating pretty regularly, and I'm up to over 250 fonts right now. Check the link in my sig to get to my thread in the EVO section.
Enjoy!

If you head over to the main thread, can you drop a note in this one to keep it bumped up so that more people see it?
Bump - just updated the main thread. We're now at a whopping 108 fonts!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160
This is cool man, so simple thanks.
bump - main thread was updated again. Now up to 132 fonts! And did I mention that most of the fonts have screenshots showing what the font actually looks like on the phone? Enjoy!
This is so cool. I just have to decide what font I want to use now.
Good stuff with a lot of possibilities!
bump - added some MIUI love to post 2 of the main thread.

This is great. I really love some of these fonts, as I'm always looking to change something. One question. Is it possible to load up multiple fonts somewhere on my phone, then change them whenver I want? Or do I have to download a single zip file, copy to sd, reboot to recovery, flash zip, and reboot just to see if I like the look?
I might like one font, then want to change it 20 minutes later. Just trying to figure out the quickest way to switch.
Thanks again for posting these!!!

A reboot is always required when changing fonts - you cant just change them on the fly. Even with the various font changing apps out there, I've found that these packs are the quickest and easiest to use - grab say the 5 fonts you like best, and just flash the one you want to use.
Aaaand bump for some great looking fonts in the latest update.
Bump again - just added some fonts for the holidays. We hit our 200th font with this update too!
bumping this thread back up for those who missed it.
We're at 261 different fonts now - all flashable through recovery. And almost all have screenshots to see what they look like on your phone. Also added instructions for ADB and terminal emulator in case you don't want to flash.
bump again - just hit 300 fonts!

[Q] GingerDX v029 DeskClock

The ROM is really great and stable, but I just want to ask: can I remove that big ball, the one that when you click it changes the color, on the Clock system app? In case of 'yes', how can I do it?
I was using the GingerDX v025 and the Clock doens't have that.
Thanks.
That's a modded Desk Clock layout by AChep to match the ICS clock. Did you change apks by any chance?

No, I just flashed that new version 029 and the Clock is like that.
Do you know a way to get back to normal, I mean, without the mod to match the ICS clock?
Thanks.

I also have the same problem-it looks kind of ugly. However I am not sure if it is possible to get rid of the 'ball/oval', maybe you can try another clock app.
Although I don't like it either, it don't mind to much as I don't even use the app. Good luck anyway (even though my reply may not of helped much )
Does it happen with the ICS theme applied?

Also, I just thought of this, GDXv025 is also Gingerbread so what you could do is copy the apk of the GDXv025 clock app to the GDXv029 system/app folder.

[FONT]Full System Fonts! Clock symbol FIX!

Hello fellow XDA friends! I am an extreme fan of Roboto Condensed and ALWAYS keep a zip of the font to replace my entire system UI. So if you are anal about your phone having consistent fonts, being Roboto Condensed, this is the zip for you! As always MAKE A BACKUP before flash even though I of course have flashed this multiple times every time I flash a ROM and have never had any issues with it. I do not have a revert to stock zip so PLEASE, AGAIN, MAKE A BACKUP, JUST, IN, CASE! I hope you enjoy!
Credits to this who create flashable zip files for me to use as a template to use for each device I am using.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me on XDA with not only fonts, but various tasks here and there :silly:
THESE ARE FLASHABLE ZIP FILES - YOU DO NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH
To fix the [X] in your lock screen clock problem you can flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bt2hz0t6osbghy5/Font_DejavuFonts1.zip
Credits to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 & @xxsashixx for the find - thanks again!
Big thanks to @THATTON for providing me with some great looking fonts to zip up
For any requests, feel free to PM me or mention my username in a thread post and I'll be happy to throw together a zip for you!

Yes it does. You have to flash in recovery.
It's been awhile since I root or have custom rom. I assume root device will not get factory update anymore, or does it? Want to keep the phone as vanilla as possible, but there's really some deficiency that only root app can fill.

Correct, no ota with normal root system changes. There is a systemless root, but I've not tried it...
I have updated the main post to be a bit more clear on needing ROOT and a custom recovery to flash this font for those who aren't as familiar! Enjoy

So I grabbed all the default fonts from my /system/font & zipped them up.
I'm on the ASOiP ROM, so I'm not a 100% sure these are the same as Google's stock Android fonts, but you could give that a try if you want.
Is that a flashable zip? I couldn't get it to work.

I will if I can, but as far as I'm concern, unlike for Asus devices, there is no way to create installable fonts for LG device. Those are old fonts, presumably no longer available in Smartworld.

Cool, just confirming no Root requirement.
Does this open up the possibility of more font customization? I've noticed the fonts folder on the device has more fonts than what's listed in system settings.
