Change fonts on defy to Phone 7 - Defy Themes and Apps

I like the fonts on Windows Phone 7. Is it possible to install/flash it to the defy?

Search for the Segoe UI font...

Yep, only if you are rooted, download font changer from The market, and put the font in the .fontchanger directory, apply changes and reboot, now enjoy your new font!!!

I think that the app 'Font Installer' is even better since it lets you preview + install almost 200 fonts straight from the app; it requires an internet connection but no need for separate downloads or to move fonts around in folders....
My favorite font (for now) is called Olney; much nicer than the stock font and the roboto one from ICS.... ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions. Works exactly the way I wanted it to be.

I tried Segoe UI, but Segoe UI Light is way better.
I'm currently using Helvetica Neue (light).
Best font
ever.

Quick font comparison...
I still prefer Olney.

[Q] Anybody has complete DROID SANS font for Galaxy note ICS ??

Hello
I need help
Any1 has old "Droid Sans" font for Galaxy Note i717 ICS 4.0.3 ??
I am looking for the complete set of this font
I have been using ROM TOOLBOX to change fonts when I was on GB 2.3.6
But when I change the droid sans fonts now, it changes only few, not whole system font.. I am still getting this roboto font in applications..
I am only getting droid sans font on homescreen and stock setting app
Can you please share the complete droid sans font for ICS if any1 has?
and how do I make it work on my ICS galaxy note?
I will really appreciate..
Thank you
Quit using rom toolbox to change fonts. Use built in font changer in settings. You can install any flip font you want and it changes the entire system font.
Do a search on xda for flip fonts, someone has a zip file with 300 fonts in it.

[Q] Using a font

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. (
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
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.
Sent from my awesome SGS2
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.

15 ways to make your Android phone look like an iPhone

Skins and folders
1. iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme - free
iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme is a beautiful free theme for the excellent Go Launcher EX skinning and home-screen replacement system. All the default icons, dock and wallpapers are in place to provide an authentic iPhone feel. It doesn't have as many icons as other themes here, which is a shame but everything else looks perfect.
2. iPhone Go Launcher EX Theme - £0.77
For less than a pound another Go Launcher theme packs everything you need to fool your iPhone friends. It includes all the default icons, hundreds of custom icons, the dock, wallpapers and importantly iOS folder functionality. This is a real winner.
3. iPhone icon pack - £0.87
If you're not a fan of Go Launcher or don't want a replacement home-screen system, as these can slowdown less able phones, then why not try a basic icon pack? Along with a new wallpaper and few of our other suggestions the iPhone icon pack will offer a genuine iPhone look.
4. iPhone Style Folder - free
iPhone Style Folder works much like a number of other Android desktop folder systems but takes the classy iPhone style of grouping mini-icons within. Works via the Widget system and helps you get your home-screens back under control.
Lockscreens and keyboards
5. LockBot - free
The rather rough and ready looking LockBot may lack a little style but in use its iPhone themed lock-screen does the job. Once you're bored of fooling your friends it comes with a host of other styles to choose from including a Honeycomb one.
6. WidgetLocker Lockscreen - £1.25
A paid-for lock-screen may seem like a step too far but WidgetLocker Lockscreen is worth it. Unlike LockBot this manages to hide the default Android status bar so the lock-screen looks entirely plausible. Beyond this it provides complete customisation and enhancements.
7. A.I.type Keyboard Beta - free
If you've switched to Android from an iPhone you may very well be missing the on-screen keyboard. Android is flexible enough that is enables you to use alternative designs. A.I.type is an excellent first choice that mimics the iPhone keyboard perfectly.
8. GO Keyboard & iPhone Theme - free
GO Keyboard & iPhone Theme is perhaps not as convincing an iPhone theme as the A.I.type one, but the GO Keyboard system itself is worth having on its own merits with plenty of advanced predictive and language tools built into it.
Email and text messages
9. InoMail - £2.53
If you're missing your old iPhone mail app then try InoMail, looking identical from the folder screen to the email reader itself you'll feel right at home. InoMail does suffer from a couple of issues such as multi-account management and file attachments but it has workarounds.
10. iSMS - £0.99
If you're a big texter you'll love the Android iSMS app that pops up a text message dialogue when a new message arrives, so you can read and respond to it immediately, helping to actually improve on the Android rubbish notifications.
11. Handcent SMS - free
Handcent SMS is a theme-based SMS system which has an iPhone-fooling green and grey bubble conversation-based mode that looks just like the iPhone. It's also more than just a pretty face, as it brings improved security and group handling too.
iPhone Copy-apps
12. Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme free
Go Contacts EX & iPhone Theme free is pretty special as it's a replacement contacts app that can be themed with an excellent iPhone-style skin, which frankly ends up being far better than the iOS variant. If you've recently switched from an iOS device then certainly the other benefit in this system will have you feeling right at home.
13. Classic Notes Lite - free
The classic yellow background and light-lined writing style of the iPhone notes app is a hard one to miss, but Classic Notes Lite riffs if perfectly even down to the font and adds a whole lot more, such as sharing notes via Twitter and Google Calender support.
14. Calculator - Free/£0.65
It's at the bottom of our list but Calculator is still a useful app to have, as there's a perfectly functional free calculator that can totally fool your iPhone friends. A version with full scientific functionality is available from the same author at minimal cost, which throws in complete skin support and alternative layouts.
15. Vlingo Virtual Assistant - free
It's one new feature in iOS that has heads turning and mouths flapping. Apple fans will all be talking to Siri on their iPhones, and so you can join in the "fun" try Vlingo that provides all the function of Siri without any of the expensive iPhone.
