I have recently rooted the T-Mobile Galaxy s5 and I am having an issue with changing fonts. Settings-->Display-->Fonts gives me a list of factory installed fonts but if I try to change to one of the installed ones, I get a popup message
! Font not supported
This font is not supported. Contact the font provider. Uninstall this font?
Anyone else get this same message? I'm wondering if it is root related or a bug with the phone.
The same thing happened when the S4 came out. Samsung changed something with fonts.
I use an app from the play store called "ifont". Once you have the app it will create a folder on your sdcard called " ifont" and inside there should be a folder called "custom". Just place the .ttf files inside of there and open the app and choose the custom tab. Also if you have the font .apk you can click on it and choose to install with " ifont". It works well for me and have had no issues on my S4. Give it a shot.

Hi guys...
I have a problem here. I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 through superuser one click and installed an app called ninja-morph from the market. This app can extract the files of an apk and we can replace objects such as image icons, in the folders in order to make them look as we want to. What happened now was that I changed the icons of two of my system apps successfully - Browser & Gallery. Then I thought of changing the icon of settings app, I tried 2 do so but what happened was that it didn't change and it started force closing. Then I went on to the web and searched for many solutions and so I downloaded an apk, shifted it to my phone an tried to install it but it didn't install. After many tries and changes through ninja-morph too I couldn't do anything. Now the problem is that I can't use wifi 'cause it needs settings. I can't even download any alternative 2 use wifi 'cause it needs wifi. I can't to anything related to internet or settings now. And worse, I just Factory Data Reseted to try if anything can be solved, but no... I just deleted all my apps. One way is to reload the software. But is it safe to do it with a root? Because I can't un-root it. Please Help Me Out.

Which rom are you using?
Seems your settinga apk got corrupted. Your options are:
-extract the original settings apk from the rom you're using and place it in system/app (with a root Explorer), with rw-r-r permissions.
-reflash a complete rom (custom through cwm or stock trough Odin)
Also, make a habit of backing up your original stuff before modding.

Hey all!
I have recently attempted to install LordManhattan's keyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143931) on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S3, but it will not show up with the theme I am using (Lucid theme). Whenever I revert back to the standard Holo theme, it shows up fine. Has anyone had a problem with this? What are some possible solutions (in noob terms) to this?

how are you installing it?
you need to use a root explorer, and put it into system/app. Then long press it, go to permissions and change to rw-r-r.

That's how I installed it. It's just not working on this theme.
I am new to this. I tried to root my phone and found out that my stock lg keyboard was deleted although rooting was successful. Next I tried to port LG G2's keyboard. Installed it successfully but all the emojis weren't appearing so I edited the fallback_fonts.xml
Now the keyboard keeps on crashing and the Lgkeyboard option is grayed out.
What do you guys suggest I do?
Can anyone provide me the fallback_fonts.xml from their LGOG or is there an alternate solution? I think I "might" have messed that up as before it was just fine apart from the emojis and stuff.
Please help me out. Quite worried and curious.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the awaited reply.
Yeah, Basically I own an ATT LG optimus G (E970). I rooted and found that my stock Google keyboard had vanished. Anyhow, I installed the G3 keyboard app port created by cloudy and granted superuser permissions and installed. I had enabled the LG keyboard as default. Upon installing that I found out that the stock LG keyboard too vanished. When I went to system/app folder I found out that the LGEIME.apk had a blue android icon. I think that it wasnt able to recognize the apk. In case you don't know how the blue android apk icon looks like I can post a screenshot here.
I hope I have cleared things up. in-case you want to know more I am more willing to clear things up for you.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Since you only mentioned you rooted your device I'm guessing you are still on 4.1.2?
Did you try installing the Google keyboard from the play store and see if it works.
And I saw you asked for the fall back file on your first post. I looked around and they all seem to be different. I have a custom rom on so I don't know how the stock LG one looks like. Can you copy the code inside the fallback_fonts.xml file you have on here?

Yeah I am on stock jellybean 4.1.2. I did try installing the google keyboard. I was successful in doing that. I'd like you to know the interesting thing thats happening. When I try to push the LGEIME.apk to system app the keyboard option in languages and input is greyed out and the keyboard force closes when i select i as my default. On the other hand when I removed it from system app and installed it as normal apk its working fine. Any idea why is that happening. I have uploaded the file you asked for in txt format.
Thanks for your time.

The reason when pushing the file to system app doesn't work could be the permission of the file. To do this use the app "es file explorer" from the play store. Once you push the file in system app, use us file explorer and make sure the permissions of the apk in system app are set to RW-R-R then Reboot your phone.
In ES file Explorer to set permission long press the file you want, at the bottom left click "more" to display options and select properties. A window will pop up and next to the option "permissions" click change. The setup should look like this :
Owner: ☑ ☑ [blank]
Group: ☑ [blank] [blank]
Other: ☑ [blank] [blank]
Hope this works.

Actually i forgot to write that. I did that already but it still doesnt work. I use the es file explorer and granted these set of permissions. Any other solution?
And why do you think the g3 keyboard doesn't work on phone?
Sorry for the trouble i am creating.

The keyboard should work the port is compatible with devices running at least jelly bean. We can try one more thing. Did you install "busybox" from the app store? Once installed open the app and tap install. Then install install the LG g3 keyboard again using the cloudy port apk.
Another method is flashing the zip file using your custom recovery. Here is the zip: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567716415
After flashing wipe cache and dalvic cache then reboot. Select it under language and input, hopefully it's not grayed out.

Hey.
Thanks for the reply. You know I actually did that. Installed busybox and then ran the port. the problem is when I install the port I can't see the LG keyboard in Languages and Input. when I go to system apps the LGEIME.apk has a blue android thumbnail. I mean the icon, its a blue android. I have attached the icon for you to see and what this means.
the only thing I didnt try was flashing as I did not install any custom recovery.
Thanks.

I have seen that icon before on my end as well and most of the time the apk was corrupted and I couldn't install it. I had to download the apk again.
Considering you don't have a custom rom installed, it's hard to tell why you are getting the behavior that you are experiencing on your device. I am almost out of suggestions other than if you want the keyboard to work maybe try a custom recovery and flash a custom rom.

Download a rom based on the same update version you are on and extract the files you need and replace in /system/app with the right permissions and reboot.
I have the note 3 with sprint n 900p. It is rooted, with twrp recovery, I am trying to change the font, I used font installer, and installed ChinaCat, which has worked for the most part changing MOST system fonts.... however, I would like to know how to change the font for the entire system, and applications, such as facebook, and textra.. Is there a way to do this? Ifont, fonster have not worked for me.
I also would like to be able to change the font to chinacat on the original samsung keyboard. I have root explorer, so if I have to go in and rewrite manually, I am able to do so, but I need to know which fonts to rewrite,
I would like Chinacat font through the entire system, keyboard, and apps if possible, thank you,

You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 it will change all your system Fonts. It has 500 fonts, your font maybe in there just called something else. Download mod, copy and paste to your sd card, use root explorer go to system/app and delete SamsungSans.apk then copy and paste the new SamsungSan.apk to system/app. Now fix permissions rw-r--r-- then go to system/data and delete Delvik cache. Now reboot the device for changes to take affect, go to settings/device/font/font style choose a font follow the prompts. As for the dialer, text keyboard, Facebook, and some downloaded apps, those fonts have to be changed in within the apk with an apktool/samli/baksamli when your theming a rom apk you can change the font, here are some pics of a dialer I changed the font on http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/post-screen-phone-setup-t3013772 go to post #2 .
