Mine is the same way- weird. It changed because it was normal. Changing the font size does nothing. Anybody?

Huge font fix
I had the same issue on the Galaxy S6 and the newly released update fixed the Font issue.
Setting, System, About Device, Software Update.
Hope that helps. Now to figure out the S Voice issue...

fix
Go to app manager and go to all aps. From there, go to contacts and clear cache and data, do the same for phone (there might be more than 1 phone icon, do for all), then go to contacts and doable it, and re able it back. Close all out and go to contacts, then it should all be fixed!

[Q] Homescreen Shortcut direct to dialer?

I there anyway to have a button / icon on the homescreen that directly opens the dialer. So that I don't have to open the dialer via contacts then scroll the tab left. I can't find a shortcut or widget that does it. Have done a few searches but to no avail. Any help provided would be gratefully received.
+1 to this.
I'm thoroughly confused by this question. There's an app called "phone dialer".
there's an app called phone, but it opens the phone app at contacts, not the dialer.
Okay - I guess we have different firmware that have different apps then. When you scroll the tabs to the left to get to the dialer, does it not remember that next time you open the app?
Alternatively, and if you'd be happy with a 3rd party replacement, look at GO Contacts. It installs as both a contacts app and a dialer, and really is very good. I'm all over GO apps at the minute!
I just use the free "no lock" screen app, then all you have to do is press the dialler button once the phone wakes up.

If you don't know what facepalm means then just google it. As for why, read the thread properly.
Ohh, yes my mistake jumping to conclusions, so many threads and so little time,
You could have told me a little more subtly and saved my embarrassment.

[Mod] SMS link in dialer

Hello all,
So I hate repetitiveness in the UI so I have swapped the dedicated VM button with an "goto/initiate SMS" button. We already have a voicemail button by pressing or dialing one why do we need two?

Glad to see you around here
very cool.
Any chance you can make the dialer numbers scalable as well? (for alternate DPI?)
Forcing the log button to stick on what you want logged would be great too. Right now, if you hit log or the press the green phone button, you get a log of all calls and SMS messages. You can switch it in the menu but it reverts right back to log all. I loved how my cappy would show you logs of just the phone calls made/recieved.
Nice + 1 setimg up now

Hate to ask but how do i install this? I tried uninstalling contacts in titanium backup and restarting first, but when I tried to install the apk it just said "not installed", I do have unknown sources allowed in settings.

Place it in system/app (to replace the existing one) via root explorer (and fix the permissions to match everything else in the folder, rw-r-r).
Is this for stock?

This does not work on a stock/rooted phone. Maybe on a custom rom but pushed it on a stock phone and the SMS button takes me to voicemail.

You need to use a file manager with root functions. Root explorer, EStrongs etc.

My bad, yeah i do have that file :S
i mean my SMS/MMS work fine its just that its not recorded in the call log since I downloaded the AOSP messaging app which replaced the default S3 messaging app
Before downloading it, it worked fine
I didn't mean look to see if you have the database. I meant open the database and look to see if your messages are recorded within it
Edit, you're saying that the SMS from within the messaging app arent appearing in your phone application / Call log? The SMS show in the SMS app?

Sorry bare with me, im still sort of new to android rooting. That's correct so all the SMS's i send and receive do not show up in the Call Log e.g. if I sent a SMS to you, it would not be in my call log/history but the Messaging app is perfectly functional.
Did you mean this? Theres too lines cut off in the picture which are :
Words_segdir
words_segments
Ah ok. No it wouldn't appear in the call log. You need the Samsung messaging app. The CM messaging app cannot interact with the Samsung phone app in the same way, as it's not coded to, unlike the Samsung messaging app.
Although the database in the screenshot is now irrelevant (as I mixed up what you meant), it was the "SMS" row in that table you screenshotted I want to check. But it doesnt matter now.
Ah crap.
Sorry another question, is there anyway to get the stock messaging app back so the logs work again? e.g can i flash the app and it'll be back to normal
Just take it out of a rom

You should report to google developers
xposed framework
app settings add on
you could change the dpi/font, etc for that specific app which is the only solution i can think of for now
Mine looks completely normal.

Yup, same here, but we're running at 400 DPI, while OP is running at 320. Still weird that the text is so small compared to 400 DPI, though.
OP, what's your system font size set to?

Ohh! My Font settings was "smallest" and one option on the gmail setting was somthink like "adjust mail to fit screen" (translated from my phone language) was checked. Changing the system font size make it readable again. Thanks to all, Cheers!!!

I installed exposed module but can not convert app to tablet mode. Is it about the ROM ? mine is rooted stock (4.4.4) with exposed FW installed

what DPI settings have you used?
After upgrading gmail on my phone, I also noticed straightaway how small the font was; hardly usable. On my tablet, it is fine. I went into accessibility settings, changed it to large; this fixed it, but across the whole system, large fonts are not great.

I had the same setting: "Auto-Fit messages". Now I have turned it off, and it is much better. However, the previous version worked fine with the same setting.
There is still the issue of too much wasted space on the new version. Maybe it is my normal initial reaction to such a big change, but so far, I find it a step backward on phones (tablets are ok).

Set the DPI to 320 and DP to 800x1280.

Try tapping the text and see if that closes it. Or clear the cache of the app.

I agree with you that you shouldn't. I personally don't use messenger much at all. Facebook apps have too many bugs. Like this on for eg. I just turned off the chat heads.
