Nougat issue - System font change not working - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, just updated my 920C to Nougat and when I change the system font setting, Display - Screen zoom and font - Font Style, the change appears in the sample area above the selectors, but clicking "APPLY" applies changes to the zoom and font size, the selected font is ignored. It is "remembered" when I go back into settings, but not implemented on the home screen or in apps as it used to be.
I haven't cleared cache or factory reset since the Nougat OTA.
Anyone experienced the same or got font changes to work?
Regards.

A factory reset (for other reasons) resolved it for me.

same issue here, the JED dictionary is displaying Chinese fonts instead of Japanese.

Applying theme changes dpi setting?

Hi all, I have an AT&T Galaxy Note 5. I was wondering if anyone has played around with the Theme Store. It seems after I applied some themes (Material Design, etc.), it reverted my dpi so that I see bigger home screen icons (the icons had been smaller). I immediately switched back to the Default theme, rebooted, etc. but the big icons stuck. I painfully wiped the cache partition and even factory reset the phone.... still bigger icons! Anyone else have a similar issue?

I don't have the phone, so I can't say I've had the issue, but have you tried checking if the actual DPI has changed? If it has, you can change it without root at the link below. I've used this method before and some samsung phones will have camera issues when changing the dpi. I believe the stock dpi is 560. Hope this helps.

I installed Material Dark and the DPI didn't change.
Thanks for the link to check. I'll do that and see what I get and report back.
Screenshots?
Likely a stupid question, but are you sure it didn't just reset the grid layout to the less dense grid?
Looks like it maintained the density. Guess my eyes just play tricks on me. Screen grid remained 5x5

[Q] UI Smaller after Oxygen 4.1.3 (Nougat 7.1.1)

Hello,
Yesterday i installed the new OxygenOS update 4.1.3 that comes with android 7.1.1. i installed it OTA
I noticed thst after the update the UI is kinda smaller and when i say UI i mean like the notification icons, icoms on launchers generally regardless the size i use, and more things.
Its like those roms that allow you to change your resolution and everything becomes smaller as you go into higher res.
Any ideas?
Check your settings - display. You can set overall size of the UI and the font size independentely. Glad I could help.

Themes / Apps / Mods ADB Custom Mod Module Maker

For Stock-Rooted Only.
The purpose of this installer is to generate a custom module that can be flashed in Magisk App. It will have all the mods that were selected from the installer menu. You need to be stock with root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so. This will only happen once.
I internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors. The colored statusbar icons should.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
This mod uses the SystemUI Patcher Module Template by @Jai_08 By @cool_modules on telegram
Root required
ADB Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. ADB debugging Enabled
3. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)
4. Flash the SystemUI Base First. It provides the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.
7. Flash the "mymagisk.zip" in Magisk App.
This mod also installs a QS and settings background overlay option under settings/Display/Device Theme. There are a few QS tile color options with an option to change the settings background to black.
This is firmware specific. If a Pixel firmware update changes either the SystemUIGoogle.apk or Framework-res.apk, this mod will need to be updated. Uninstall this module before updating your phone.
As with anything else you flash on your phone, you run the risk of a bootloop. This might not be compatible with some other modules. Flash at your own risk.

I'm not sure these are useful any more. I might post some stand alone mods if there's anyone interested.

Stand alone mods would be cool
March update has been uploaded.
Thanks for posting this! I haven't used your module maker before, but I just spent an hour reading older threads for the Pixel 4XL and 5. I see the mod maker has the ability to change system fonts. That is really the only thing I am after at this point. You actually helped me with a Magisk module back on the Pixel 3a. Is there any chance you could create a stand alone module to change fonts? The attached file is the module you created for Android 10, along with all the custom fonts I wish to use. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm happy make a donation for your time.

I put those fonts into a module installer. It will still relock the screen each time after the phone is rebooted. I don't think this will work without a systemui modification. I put a token PNG file in it along with your font if you would like to try it.

You are awesome! Can't wait to flash this when I get home.
Edit: Looking through your Module maker, I'm wondering if I need to designate a font as google_sans_clock.ttf in order to replace the clock font?

Okay. Added a font renamed GoogleSansClock-Regular.ttf to \mymagiskFont.zip\system\product\fonts
I assume I don't need to make any changes to the mymagisk.zip file within the mymagiskFont.zip? Sorry for my ignorance.

No, you should be good to go.
Your module applied, no problem. Only real issue is I'm getting overlap with the lockscreen clock. Tried moving some fonts around to try another in place of GoogleSansClock-Regular. Results with same issue. Also missing the dash in Settings for Wi-Fi, but this has intermittently been a problem with this font for years. Hmm. Might have to play around with it some more later when I have more time.

Try a different font for the clock. Which one did you use?

I did try two. I tried the fonts named Roboto-Light and Roboto-Thin. Both are light versions of Helvetica, one is slightly lighter than the other. Both overlapped on the lockscreen. But both did, however, display the colon when the clock switches to a digital version when the user receives a notification on the lockscreen. I remember a lot of these fonts were missing that glyph back in the day too. So that's a plus.
I have to work a couple long shifts the next few days, but I will definitely try some other fonts when I have free time and report back. I really appreciate you getting me started with this module! Many thanks to you!
@Tulsadiver - I'm wondering if you have seen the overlapping behavior on the lockscreen with your custom fonts? I'm also wondering if the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular is a variable font, allowing it to change weights when the user interacts with the phone while the phone is locked (e.g., the double stack clock font is thin and then becomes heavier when the user engages with the device and the background wallpaper image comes into view). I'm thinking maybe my overlapping issue could be related to overwriting a variable font with a static font?
One another note, I'm still seeing what appears to be Roboto font within non-Google applications (e.g., Nova Launcher menu, Solid Explorer menu). I don't see this behavior with the same applications on my Pixel 3 running Android 10. I'm wondering if there is another font I need to overwrite... the only one I can see within Android 13, not present in 10, is RobotoStatic-Regular. Do you think this could be the font used for these app menus, and what do you think about replacing it?

I don't show any overlapping on the fonts I've used and the GoogleSansClock font and AndroidClock are used in mine. I typically use Roboto-Thin to replace them.
There are applications that use their own fonts. I don't see any problem replacing RobertoStatic-Regular though I have not.

Okay, so adding a custom font named RobotoStatic-Regular fixed my issue within certain applications (see attached image).
I also just took a look at the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular font, and it is in fact a variable or dynamic font. This could be related to my render/overlap issue. I might keep trying different fonts to see if it works properly with any of my custom fonts. Another thought I had was buying a variable font online and plugging that one in for the lockscreen clock. Thanks for your continued feedback!
