Anybody can help me ? How can i change default font in lumina 800?
I don't think there's a way to change the font on this device. Maybe in 7.8 build nokia will allow users to do that..
I was looking for the same thing but it seems all my efforts were in vain. However i can live with the default fonts they aint too bad.
I believe there is a way to do it, but there's huge improvements in understanding, i believe in a couple of weeks some one would get it right...

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.
As it says in the title, my Lumia 800 is developer unlocked, so I'm wondering if there's a way to get custom themes working on it.
I downloaded an app called Phone 8 that had a "launcher". Where you can customize the "homescreen" and its tiles.
It also worked in landscape mode and I was wondering if this were possible for the homescreen itself, atleast to some degree. I've seen in the WP7 forum that theres a few custom themes out. And I'd like to do that with the Lumia aswell.
I'd also like to be able to have a background image behind the tiles, and maby do them a bit transparent.
until we get interOP unlock and gain access to the registry we can't make any custom themes/ backgrounds.
A developer unlock can help you make changes to the tiles....custom tiles..
silly question but i'm really tired of being stuck to "microsoft" colors on the default tiles.
Is there anyway of getting them to display in black on a "locked" phone?
I know all about so called apps that profess to do it but I want to keep the functionality of the old tiles but just want them black.

Unfortunately, there are no way to do this currently, at least not without unlocking your device. If your phone isn't unlocked, you're out of luck for now.
I may be wrong but I think that to have black tiles you can flash a different firmware (for example the one for T-Mobile Germany).
Lumia 800 black tiles
Yes, operaters can add one custom colour, if your Lumia is unbranded, you'll have Nokia Blue, T-Mobile have that cool grey colour.
Sadly we can not change tile colors to custom colors. For this we need to be able to interop unlock the phone (sorta jailbreak/root). There used to be an exploit, it is gone though.
Well, I don't understand why colors are predefined in the first place... It would be nice if it was fully customizable. That would be confusing to some people though...

not until you can edit the registry. I did not see any attempts at unlocking/hacking WP8 yet to do this. Maybe a third party app will come along that allows that. Not yet though.
cheers

They would have been better off with us using either hex codes or that circle thingy you change colour in, than to have premade ones.
I agree. I hope somebody can make an App for it like we used to have on WP7.5...
What I also would like to see, is some adjustable background colors instead of only white and black. Blue or the likes would really be nice, or even the possibility for a custom wallpaper. It's not much, but it gives the phone that extra touch of personalisation.
I think this is really quite something that could please users.
I'd absolutely love an option to truly customize the accent colors. I'm never quite satisfied with the built-in selection so hopefully this is something a clever developer will figure out how to alter.
Hi there,
I would like to know how I can change colours on my Android... Just like the blueish thing on the top bar, I can't stand it... Can't I just change it to white or else???
Why is'nt there any options to change that... I mean it's not a big ask is it

I dont think you will be able to achieve this even if you are rooted. You have to install some custom ROMs which will proide you options for this. For ex: AOKP.
Mate, I have 6 ROMS in my BootMenu and NONE of them provides the option. I always wanted to do so since GB and now we have moved up it is still not possible. Even the themes do not cover the base frame and you still CANOT CHANGE THE COLOURS.
Appologies for my frustration but it seems that it is the simplest and the FIRST thing that any user will be trying to do if interested in customisation. I have all the custom ROMS in the world and still kicking around with the basic ugly blueish colours the designers arbitrarly choosed for us without implementing a simple menu to change them, what's the go with this??
Everybody is happy the way it is? No one wants to have a possibility to change layout colours?
