[Q] Simple Text Default 04 Font location - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to find the font Simple Text uses and is listed as Default 04. I have Searched my phone for all .ttf files and even emailed the developer (no response)
Does anybody know where this font is on the phone or what its name is? Or just where I can download it?
Thank you in advance!

Anybody know a program that could locate it for me?
I use Go SMS pro and when it does a search for font packs, it can find it. So I know its there somewhere. Ive done every type of search i could think of using Root explorer. Searched for ".ttf" ".otf" "Simple text" "default" "Default04" none of which turn up the font.

[Q] Wierd system font

Hi to all,
my system font (like in the volume tab) is different form the stock ROM. I've searched forum for "system font", and read few of them, but noone mentioned the issue. can I change the system font somehow?
Thns
Search for NueFont
Thx... I didn't know, what am I looking for
Tried looking for Nuefont, but found nothing usefull. Are you sure it is NueFont?
I Have this font only when i'm changing volume...
If you're using a ROM which does not include Manila (or includes a custom version of Manila), you might be missing some font files (encoded in the _manila files). You can simply add the font files back into \Windows\Fonts (and not worry about the _manila files) in order to restore the fonts, but you'll need to know specifically which font the application is trying to use.
For the HTC Diamond-style volume changer and USB2PC connection dialog, the fonts needed are "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin" and "HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman" (again which should be loaded properly if you're using Manila). I've attached them in the zip, so drop them into your \Windows\Fonts folder (no need to change the filenames) and see if that fixes the issue.
FONT
Thanks for help, however it didn't help. I've copied the font in win dir, in win\font dir... nothing happend. I've got advice to look in the registry in HKLM\sofware\MS\fontlink\systemLink, if there is two values... there was just one, so I filled the second one. Didn't helped...
Don know what to do...
nuefont will let you change the system font. you'll find it here http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueFont.aspx
Thanx a lot.
Just in trouble to handle CJK fonts in PROven-3.1 rom.

Need some help to change some things on lockscreen

Hello, I just rooted my phone and I have CyanogenMod ROM on it and Apex Launcher right now. I want to change some things on my lockscreen but I don't know how to do that.
Here is my look screen right now: http://i.imgur.com/5CrbU.png
I want to take away the LV TELE 2| Tele2 thing on the bottom and then change the clock and date text, because it looks ugly in my opinion. Is there a way I could change that?
And also the circle above the Tele 2 text, can I change that? If so, how?
And also when i type an SMS, it vibrates when I type one letter, how can I remove that? I have tried to untick vibrate in settings but it doesnt work :S
Thanks in advance!

You wont get anybody helping you unless you post your topics in correct sections.
This is a development area, not n00b help desk.
[edit: topic moved now]
Yeah, this is really the wrong section.
Read the rules again and everything's fine.
So, for deleting carrier name, just google, there's a tutorial.
Is changing the font enough?
Then just replace the fonts at /system/fonts. (You can find the correct one by the name.)
And the circle. Decompile your framework-res.apk and look for the graphics at the hdpi folder.
If you don't know, how to do this, google. It's easy, if you know how to do.

That's the only thing I found on Google, but that's only changing the carrier name.
Where can I download fonts?
I can't find the folder /system on my sdcard.
What should I google about the circle? Like "How to delete circle on apex launcher lockscreen"?
Thanks!

If this apps works for you, you can use it to set the carrier name to ' '?
You can find some nice fonts here. http://www.dafont.com, http://www.1001freefonts.com/
Or if you want to use fonts, which are already on your computer, they're located at: C:\Windows\Fonts
So, to change them.
The folder /system isn't on you sd. It's on your phone.
You can view this folder, if you download any root explorer app from the market.
Then you can find the /fonts folder and replace some fonts.
For example there's the font 'DroidSans.ttf', rename the font to 'DroidSans.bak' and then copy some downloaded font into this folder. Then change the name from (for example) Arial.ttf to DroidSans.ttf.
Reboot your device, and it's ready.
There's a app, which is easier, but with this method, you know, what you're doing, and you learn something.
But, just in case, the name of the app is 'Font Changer', you can find it in the Play Store.
The circle on the lockscreen..
To change it, you have to copy you framework-res.apk, which is located at /system/framework to your sd and then to your computer. (Or you upload it to dropbox or someting else, just bring it to your computer. xD)
Then rename it to 'framework-res.zip', after this you can open it by winrar or 7zip.
Go to the hdpi folder in res and search the image of the circle.
Then delete it, and put your own image (it should have the same dimensions) into the archive. But important! Don't select 'normal compression' or anything else, just 'save'!
If you have this done, change the file extension again to '.apk' and put it to your sd.
Then, copy it with any file manager, and paste it into /system/framework.
This can brick you device, so create a cwm backup before!
It worked succesfully for me with 'ES File Manager/Explorer', but only with the method, where the dialog 'Replace?' appears. So don't first delete the framework-res.apk
Okay, and for vibration.
Go to settings, keyboard, keyboard settings, and uncheck vibration. That's it.
Now my hands hurt.^^

I have no clue what font I should use but I'll see which one I will download because there are so many
I don't think I will change the circle on the lockscreen because It seemed hard and I'm to "noob" to do that and I don't wanna brick it. But I'll save that information If I wanna do it later.
If I go to settings, I can't see anything saying keyboard or keyboard settings.( But It doesn't vibrate anymore when I write messages on facebook) kinda weird :S
Got 3 other questions xD maybe off-topic but hope you can answer them
1. I recently rooted my phone and put on CyanogenMod 9 and now I have Apex Launcher Pro on it. But I can't find my contacts or where I add contacts so I can save my friends phone number. Do I have to download an app for this?
2. When I'm on my lockscreen and wanna unlock it, I drag it and it unlocks. But It vibrates when I drag it, is there a way to delete this vibrating?
3. I've used Swiftkey 3 keyboard but I don't like it so I want a new one. I loved the keyboard I had before I rooted on ICS verision 4.0.3. Is there a way to get that keyboard now in root? If not, do you have suggestions for me which keyboard I should download? I don't want one that they correct the words I write, only a simpel and easy keyboard.
Thanks in advance!

Try Ubuntu font, google for it.
No? Or 'input settings'?
There's no contacts app? Maybe it's just hidden in apex launcher. Go to apex settings, drawer settings. And check the hidden apps. Or look in the apps section in the normal settings, if contacts/people app exist?
Hmm, in miui, there's an option for the vibrating. But as far as I know, in cm not. But you can google for it, maybe there's a mod or control panel, which includes this.
Yes, I hate auto correction too. It's very bad if you write in different languages..
In the settings of swiftkey, you should be able to disable the auto correction. You can access the settings directly via the keyboard. There's a key for this.
But I prefer the stock ics keyboard. (Play store: ics keyboard) It's very simple and you can disable auto correction and vibration too.
I hope, I helped.

For renaming, you don't have to open the file.
Just press long at the file, and there should be a popup, with options like 'rename', 'copy', 'cut', 'open', 'properties' etc.
If there's no option to rename it, use another file manager, like 'es file manager' or 'root explorer'.

Of course, mate.
If you're using es, go to settings, scroll down and enable 'root-explorer' and 'mount file system'.
Then there should be a popup of superuser, just accept it.
After replacing the fonts, remember to set the correct permissions, too.

Worked I think, did everything you wrote before in this thread. But the font didn't change on the lockscreen. Is there another file I should rename or change too in order for it to change font on the clock on the lockscreen?
Ooo alena gilbert...lol
Ok you can edit framework-res.apk for that... and for font in lockscreen i think change font with something like clock in name with one of your choice.. dont remember exact name....

DroidSans.ttf was just an example.
So, I'm not sure, but try Clockopia.ttf.
But a while ago, I used a cm-build, where the lockscreen font was named something like. 'androidclock.ttf'
So just look, maybe you can guess it via the name, which font it is. If not, you can copy them to your pc and click on it, then windows let you view the font. Then you just have to look for these special numbers of the lockscreen clock. And the last way is to use font changer.

[Q]Reliable guide to changing system font?

I am trying to change my default font to one that will read a number of diacritical characters not covered by the default Nexus 7 system font. I have read a number of threads that offer advice that seems incomplete and am looking for someone's list of actions that will definitely do this job or that can point me to a definitive guide to doing this.
My tablet is rooted, running 4.2.2. I have been downloading apps and fonts:
ASK keyboard to show these characters,
Font Installer and
Type Fresh,
ASK Pali font file,
DroidSansFallback.ttf and
Dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33.
I had not looked into /system/fonts before now so I have nothing to compare its present population with, but it contains 41 .ttf files (Roboto, Droid and some others) and I have 21 Dejavu fonts waiting to be moved there!
I understand the default font is 'Roboto', but
what font will do what I want (have all diacritics)?
Will I need to swap between them in the normal course of events, and how?
Or rename some font to replace the default?
Is there a modifiable config file that names the default file?
Thanks for reading this far!
But what happened? Font Installer doesn't work for you?

Click to collapse
The bottom line is that all the Droid (and Roboto) files are in /system/font but the (originally missing) diacritic characters are not accessible via the ASK keyboard which show only squares when pressed appropriately.
I have loaded the Droid, Dejavu and Roboto fonts into my Mac and opened them via its Font Book app. When installing 'Roboto', the Font Book reported an error: it was a duplicate of Droid Sans Fallback, so it seems that that is what Font Installer does. Pity this is not made clear.
The required characters are in there, it seems, but are not found by the keyboard. I'll contact the developer thereof now (he groaned).
Thanks for the nudge!

How do I extract a font from a font manager?

Hello everybody
I hope I'm in the right section, if not, please redirect me. Now, on to my issue.
I'm using the Babel Fonts font manager app on my phone, and there's this font called Appally (iekie Appally) that I am currently using on the phone. I like it a lot. The thing is, I would like to save it and be able to use it on a Windows OS, but I can't seem to find it on the internet (googled it).
So, I'm wondering if there's a way to extract the font from the aforementioned app, seen as I'm unable to locate it on the web.
