I was wanting to install a custom, non-SmartWorld font and use it with the stock font changing settings, can anyone tell me if that is possible? if so, can you please guide me? I have looked through all the folders and cannot find where the fonts are located. The only other thing I can think of is that they are .apk files.
My setup is as follows:
LP SkyDragon 3.0.1 w/ SD ver 4.0.1 kernel.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated thank you much.

I used to use ifont, but it boot loops my phone on on the LG G3. It worked great on my GS4. I appreciate the reply.
UPDATE:
Well I thought I would try ifont again, just for laughs, since I haven't tried it since they achieved root for this phone. Well I moved my custom fonts into the custom folder, went into the app & installed the fint I wanted, rebooted and worked flawlessly. They must have fixed whatever was wrong with the app. Much happier now.

Changing fonts on the Galaxy S was very easy via the phones' own settings. How can you add/user new fonts on the Atrix?
thanks
Rafa
Nobody...?...I thought this was going to be an easy one....
What I did was pulled the fonts I liked that I ripped from UOT Kitchen and created a CWM flash-able zip for the font. I'm using Comfortaa now on the atrix.

Not that I've seen so far. Flashing a zip is a piece of cake though.

Thanks for that link, and googling for me.
If I were to use one of those fonts, would there be a way to get back to the stock font? If I were to flash another theme, would it automatically load the stock font?

A nandroid backup should do the trick, but maybe you don't want to re-backup everything... I wonder if there is a TiBu system setting that contains the fonts that you could backup and restore data later?

Of course. DroidSans is the default font. Just download it from that link with the 300 flashable zips and flash it if you want to go back to stock.

This would be overkill It would work fine, but would be overkill. Just download DroidSans and flash that if you want to go back to stock.
Well another way, is to use Root Explorer or something similar and replace the fonts manually through there. Its not that hard and you could also back them up like that. Just have to make sure permissions are correct.

[SOLVED] Flashable Font Packs - Won't Install
Took me a while today to get it down, but works great!
BTW you can't flash with CWM. I tried every possibility on Atrix today with Tenfars. My guide does however work.
Sent from WinBorg 4G via XDA premium app

Well, it seems those CWM packages aren't compatible with the Atrix.
However I created my own package, and I successfully changed my font to Choco Cooky.
ChocoCooky CWM.
Here you can see how the font looks like.
Also I made one with the stock fonts, just in case:
Stock Fonts CWM.
If you don't like Choco Cooky, just download one pack from this thread, extract it, and replace the fonts in my CWM package with the ones you like.
Have fun ^^.
<edit> Edited to be nice! Please next time read my full post and see that I already said those font packs will not work with Tenfars CWM. Also, it's not the font packs which are not compatible with the Atrix, it's Tenfars CWM which is not compatible with the font packs. My instructions after much trial and error state to extract the font files from the font pack zips.

You're wrong. I changed my fonts through Tenfar's CWM. You're the one who should fully read the posts. Just flash one of my CWM updates and you'll see they work perfectly fine.
Maybe you didn't properly edit the CWM updates.
Think about it, if we can flash themes through CWM why we wouldn't be able to do the same with fonts?.
And to clarify a bit more, I said anyone can use one of my CWM updates as a template to flash any font they like just by replacing the fonts inside them.
I don't know why you got upset (I read your last post before you edited it). Maybe because I successfully created a CWM update to do this, and you didn't?.
Try the Choco Cooky one, and you'll see it works perfectly fine. Then you can flash any font you want through CWM.
Also, while your method might work for you, its a pain. CWM is allways cleaner, quicker and easier.

Just need to find the clock apk or have someone extract it for you. If you don't manage to find it by tomorrow before I get back to the office, I'll pull it out for you.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this, I've mistakenly overwritten my stock clock too with ICS's stock clock, but Samsung's actually a bit better..
Many thanks!
Think you need:
com.sec.android.app.clockpackge
- needs to be installed as a system app.
Pretty sure that worked for me many flashes ago...
Thanks!
No longer supporting this share as I have made the changes to apps from the S Advance.
Hi there, I searched for a modded mms/sms that had no limits to length of sms or number of people I could send to. I finally found working stock SecMms thanks to developer extralife. His thread is here. Check it out and give him thanks for his work. They were done for SIII but work well in my phone. I have XXLQ4 JB 4.1.2 but these should work in the other JB on S Advance. Just make sure you back up your original.
First is with stock android smilies:
NoLimitSecMmsStockSmilies
Second is with alternate smilies:
NoLimitSecMmsAltSmilies
You should backup your SecMms.apk in the system/app folder before installing these to be safe. These are installed by CWM or TWRP. I tested the installs with TWRP and they worked, so should work with CWM. Remember do not boot directly to CWM, you'll get stuck there. After you install, don't reboot right away. Do a wipe of the Dalvik cache first then boot your phone. Android will optimize your apps so be patient.
If by chance you use this in your custom rom, please give credit and link to this in your op.

How to change the font size anyway?

Hi there, I searched for a modded mms/sms that had no limits to length of sms or number of people I could send to. I found them in the I9000 themes forum from Difusal . He did all the major modding on these.
Here is his thread:Modded SMS thread Go there and see all he has done, quite impressive.
They work on my S advance fine but the text was too small for me so I changed the size in messages to his latest mod, Mms_inverted_tw-bubbles_avatars_v1.4. With his permission I share it here.
You need to rename your SecMms.apk to backup or something and if you are still odexed, rename the SecMms.odex as well, then with your favorite explorer paste this mms.apk into system/apps and set the proper permissions. Reboot your phone and you will find it in your apps drawer where you can put it back into your dock. No thanks needed LOL just hope you like it.
If there is someone really smart who can make it a flashable zip that does the renaming of files, and puts the mms.apk into system/apps, please do as I am sure it would make things easier for people. Now that we have CWM recovery for our phones thanks to varun.chitre15 and his Thunderstruck 2.5 kernel.

I haven't had that problem. If I do I will see why. which mms.apk you using?
Edit: I tried an mms also and had same problem. Sent pm to the orig dev to see if he has heard of this.
OP updated with the problem.
I found some alternate modded Secmms.apk's with CWM flashables and push versions at this link:
Stock modded SecMms
They are for galaxy Note II but it works on my phone. Only bugs are that the <3 doesn't show the heart smilie properly and dev is aware of it and seeking a fix also the themed one doesn't show the different themes on my phone at least. So I am just using the stock version. Make sure to thank the dev for them...

Yes its rooted
Am using Cosmic Rom
Latest xposed installer installed and busybox installed
As you have xposed install you might be able to use SystemUI Icons which allows you to change every images from the system UI apk. The only problem is it's a bit long to change each icons one by one. I may be able to make an app to automate the process, but I need to find time for that. You could try using SystemUI icons for now and I'll tell you if I've found time to make an app or if I find a quicker way
Hope that was helpful

Ok I took a bit of time to see how I could manage to automate the process, for now the app is able to get superuser rights and access the SecSettings.apk file in System/app, now I need to see if I could modify the apk without decompile it. The problem is I have a lot of exams these weeks so it might take some time before I can finnish the whole app. I'll tell you when it will be ready
