[Q] Using a font - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can i make a font to be used everywhere?
I like Sony Sketch a lot but it looks like its not applied everywhere.
I want it everywhere... and i mean EVERYWHERE. Every char to use this font. I know it is possible cause i had it like that on GB but not anymore on ICS. (

Try Go Launcher fonts, its really good. You can download the fonts and use it with go launcher.

I am using ADW Launcher EX + Widget LockScreen.
I install the Sony Sketch font but it's not working everywhere... like it doesn't have the permission... dunno. For example, in ADW i get it's default font. On GB was working gr8.

Go in adw settings and set the font to sony sketch. and for the other system apps use rom toolbox pro there youll find the font and install it.

Any launcher has its default font. You can download separately the font then just flashed it over CWM. Or backup using titanium then restore it after using ADW launcher.
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!

Thank you all for trying to help but you are missing the point here... It's not only ADW... There are more places where the font doesn't work. Now i am on OMEGA and the keyboard buttons don't use the font thou when i was using NEAT, it worked...
So the problem is in permisions or something like that.

Use Rom Toolbox Pro from google play by JRummy16," paid app " or try Rom Toolbox lite," free app ". Its got Sony Sketch and a few hundred more fonts.
Edit... Just installed Sony Sketch font from Rom toolbox pro and its completely across the board from contacts, messages, Facebook to all the app names.

[Q] Create folders

Hi, can I create folders? I am using Android 2.1., and I long press on the home screen but see no option to create folders!
Are you running SE Android 2.1 home launcher? If so, you can't make folders on the homescreen. You can run other launchers: Zeam, Arc Launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher (are a few that come to mind) to get that feature.

Most you can download from the market, there are free versions of all those. Arc launcher can be found via the mini pro themes and apps thread. Or search ''arc launcher'', should find it.
There is also a thread about the ''best launcher'' as well, but of course the best launcher for you is the one you find works the best for you.

Stock se launcher

Is there a way to add more homescreens to the latest stock SE launcher.
If not can you recommend a good launcher that allows more homescreens and also allows SE widgets such as timescape to run on it.
I have used spb in the past and loved it but it won't allow timescape on it

A lot of ppl is using ADW Launcher:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher&hl=en
Give it a try and see if it fits you ^^
I was just about to ask the same thing. If not seven home screen is it possible to get the launcher modified to 4 columns * 5 rows.

[Q] How to change app drawer grid to 5x6? (default 4x5)

I just recently change my ROM to Omega 5.2 can't seem to find how to change the app drawer grid to 5x6.
BTW I'm using Nova Launcher. TIA
Same question here.
I've tried searching th forum but can't come up with the answer.
Also - anyone able to tell me ho you can tell if the upgraded camera - 30fps has been installed.
Thanks
I think its already included on the Omega v5.2. If you're not using omega just flash this mod then

goto nova settings-> desktop->desktop grid and change it.
btw stock touchwiz do not support changing grid size by default, there are few mods for it in our app section

That will only change the desktop icons, not the app drawer
Nova setings=app drawer and change

yes you can, just try the free one on the market
Thanks. I don't understand then why 5x6 was meant to be a feature of Omega and yet when I installed the ROM there seemed to be no option to set it.
I'm concerned that I am using a more efficient ROM and yet straightaway I am adding extra weight.
Nova doesn't seem to move as smoothly - even as Touchwizz
When I use Nova launcher, I lose the Accuweather clock. It reappears when I go back to Touchwizz.
Is there any way round this?

Widget selection screen

I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ah, my bad, I'm using nova launcher which gives the old style list, must be touchwiz way then....change launcher
Nah...first time now i like how stock launcher looks, nova is ugly.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Homescreen transition animation will never be the same
And of course the clock widget will be gone. So not fit to my need.

by the way when u open the app drawer , the wallpaper with app shortcuts/appdrawer button/ clock will still be shown? im looking something like the launcher in jb on samsung s3/mini or xperia launcher
Which ROM did you try because some ROMs don't have trebuchet. Also you can look in the x10 mini forums for an ICS xperia launcher for ICS. Also look in the galaxy mini forums for an ICS touchwiz launcher as both of these phones are ldpi.
