Hi Guys,
I'm running Modaco's 2.8 with Teknologists 1.8 kernel and i've found that the change to Font size in Spare Parts doesnt save - it loses the change as soon as i leave the application (pressing Home or Back) - it also resets if i change the orientation of the phone while Spare Parts is still open.
Has anyone got this to save using Spare Parts and Is there any other way to change the font size on the Hero if not?
Cheers
Paul
Anyone have any input on this at all?

the same with my Streak, I have Androot installed, but I cannot change font.
ping
any updates on this issue?
I have a Mytouch 4G with "spare parts" with Ice Glacier rom installed. Maybe it is a problem not directly related to the Hero.
Running CM 7.0.0 Encore from SD card.
Is there some way to increase the size of the icons?
Can the status bar & notifications be combined at bottom with the dock bar?

Thanks but editing the build.prop file if thats what is needed is a bit beyond my capabilities at this time

Thank you that really makes a difference, trying 180 and I see a big improvement.
Icon Size for CM7 on SD card?
This questions probably has been asked ALOT but I can't seem to fix the Icon size on my CM7 on Nook Color running off microSD. Do I have to change this file on the Nook Color Partition or the microSD? I assume the OS is on the microSD side. Any ideas would be greaT!!!
LCD Resolution, free in the Android Market & persistent after boot.

Adwlauncher ex also allows icon resizing in settings.

i have used LCD Density Modder free from the market.. its free also and works great with tablets like our NC and even phones too..
+1 LCD Density... easy app will great results.
the planet moon of Endor
Oh my. BAD.
Based on the above, and wanting larger icons, I downloaded LCD density and changed the setting on my Nook Tablet loading CM7 from a microSD. After changing the setting, it required a reboot--and booted into stock nook rather than into CM7 from the SD.
Is there a way to reduce the size of fonts? I want to be able to see more on the screen especially the contacts menu. The contacts is so big and you see about 6 on the screen. Currently i am searching for small fonts to help reduce the size. But is there a way through root that allows me to reduce size?
thanks

In coming from the Evo to the Photon, the biggest change for some on the down side is the font is smaller. And I can't find a perfect way to change it. I have 2 options and they are both a little flawed.
Font Size (for root users) - It works great but I am noticing that fonts are sometimes not big enough for the space they are in (menu items, widgets, and android market text are good examples) so the font is kind of cut off on the top and/or bottom. But the font does get larger.
Spare Parts + Pro - This changes the font perfectly. I can even select the largest size with no worries of fonts being cut off. The problem is, the setting is not saved. All you have to do is shut your phone off or worse, merely rotate your screen and the setting is gone.
Does anybody know a better suggestion? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cause I have to say, It is straight up ridiculous that this question needs to be asked. And I don't mean ridiculous of the community, I mean it is ridiculous that the people that develop the operating system do not include such a setting in every phone.
I"m greatful for the 2 apps I mentioned above and I registered both. But I really hope somebody knows a better suggestion, one that lets you increase the font size as reliably as Spare Parts + Pro and saves that setting like Font Size (for root users). I would really appreciate it.
bump...wanting same solution. Spare parts won't hold setting for me, either.
What do you think the chances are that someone will develop a ROM that incorporates larger font sizes?
I haven't found anything that works like you're looking for. Unfortunately most apps were designed with a lower resolution in mind. Now that phones are arriving with higher resolutions developers are gonna need to update their apps.
The Evo was what 800x480? Photon (and other QHD's) run 960x540. BIG difference for text on you screen.
If you're rooted you can use something like LCD Density changer to mimic the density of the EVO 4g (LCD density of Evo 4g was 240)

Good call...forgot about suggesting that!
LCD Density changer - Yipee...that was it!!!! Thank you sooooo much
I think I love my Photon now. I was considering going back to the Evo 4g because of the larger font. Been looking at everything except a "density changer".
i changed my lcd density in the rom toolbox and now so many apps will not let me download them... any idea what the lcd density should b on the photon so i can go back to that.

I have not found any phone different than 240. I have the photon and it was 240.
I have the same issue with apps like you. I have to reset my density to 240, reboot and then update my apps now and then.
Hi, ther
My mother just got the new Samsung Galaxy S2, which is smaller font size. the SMS and contacts are quite small font.
Do you have any Rom or app with larger font size?
cheers!
hi,
I am over 35 and don't have a problem with reading the phone, maybe your mother need glasses.

Try the latest rom KI8 mate.
Its got a much bolder and clearer font
Search android market, you might find apps for resizing fonts there.

Oh. ..I'm 38, someone must have forgotten to tell me that I need a larger font on my S2 because I have*no* problems reading what's on the screen (and when apps have a user-selectable font size, I tend to pick the smallest available)
I just saw this on Android UK News if it helps http://www.androiduknewsetc.com/2011/10/16/big-launcher-ideal-for-those-with-poor-eyesight/

There are settings within messaging that define font display size! Should be the same with emails!
sent from t'internet
go into
settings>display>screen display>font style
to change the font. Selecting "get fonts online" will bring you to the market link for a samsung endorsed font switching app.
check out this thread for some .apk fonts.
its hard to tell which fonts will be the oversized ones, so youll just have to try it out.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
any program ??
still there is no progrma to make font bigger (in mms.apk ther is just extra small, small and normal) but still i need bigger font in whole phone any idea ?
Search Google Play. If you can't find an app that can do the job, CM9 has a toggle in accessibility settings where you can increase the font size by around 50%. Tho if you don't have experience flashing custom roms, I'm not sure I'd recommend you go down this path unless it's absolutely necessary.
If it is tho, might be something worth looking at ?
Edit to add - Also, not 100% sure on this, but you might also be able to change the DPI of the screen to achieve this as well. Perhaps someone who fiddles around with this might be able to confirm either way.
Edit to add more - I just did a Google search for "Google Play increase font size" & got results. That should be the first thing you do before you go down the CM9 route.
Font Size and Big Buttons Keyboard are both helpful .
