Using the Samsung Messages app on my Verizon S9+, I am unable to permanently change the font size in the actual conversation screen. Yes, you can pinch to shrink and expand font size but that gets reset to standard size every time (unlike on the S7 Edge where it remembered your size preference).
Through Settings, you can globally adjust font size but the only Messages screen this affects is the main Conversation screen which shows all conversations. Once you click on a conversation, normal font size is presented. Frustrating for my old eyes...
UPDATE: Ironically, when you adjust Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen above the sliders, it shows you a sample Messages screen and the font size does change in the sample, but it does NOT change in the actual Messages app. Sounds like a bug to me as they are depicting what I want to do, just doesn't work.
I'd like to use the stock app as it has some features that are unique. There must be a way to change the font size so the setting is persistent, no?
Seeing the same also. Hard for my aging eyes to see.
And also finding it doesn't follow the global setting for size. Same as you.
Same issue. I don't think you can change the font size just for the Message app.
I when back to my beloved and trusted Textra SMS app.
It changes when you change the font size in display settings font.

As I mentioned in my post, this is not true. On my phone, changing the font size in display setting ONLY affects font size in the main Conversations view. Once you click on an actual conversation, the font size returns to the default tiny size.
You can get a newer version on apkmirror.com but it wont allow updating samsung apps for some reson. Anyone have the latest version of messages signed by samsung that will install?
They need ro bring back the S8 messaging app which has this inbuilt feature to adjust text. Wonder, why they ripped off that useful feature.

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge this bug and release a new version of the app. Clearly the global Font Size Setting is supposed to do exactly this.
Same thing. Very frustrating

It's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half second. Sure, it'd be nice if it would stick but, c'mon man.
I had a problem with the Background colors in the Messaging ap - some of the themes I like to use are really awesome but when I get to the messaging ap, they used yellow fonts on a white background - nearly impossible to read. I either have to use a different messaging ap entirely (Mood is a pretty good one I found that has TONS of customization options) or just guess at what was written - or change themes.
It's dissapointing that I can't change the balloons or fonts in the messaging ap any more - would be nice if we could - and change font size too - so for now, I am using the MOOD messaging ap and while I prefer the Samsung Stock one better - Mood isn't bad at all.
Its not only internal Messages app, Viber and Hangouts has really small font in input line. Tried increasing font size, tried toying with DPI settings. No idea why its like that and only affecting text input lines, but hope some later update could fix that?
Hi Everyone..I just got the 9 plus and the messaging app is different than it used to be. It is just blue bubbles with white background. It wont let me change anything like before and the setting the background wallpaper for messages is no longer there....is that how everyone else's is?
I also switched to Textra for the all of the customization that it offers. It's a free download so I gave it a try and I've stuck with it since. Just my 2ยข

No, not "come on man". It should work as designed, and has worked since GSI-II.
I use Chomp. Let's you change all of the fonts and sizes, including the message notification pop-up.

I think you mean, "It should work the way I want it to work." It IS working as designed. It's just that you don't like the new design.
That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if we could choose a persistent font size. I do.
But we're talking about a split-second pinch out to increase the size.
A split-second.
So, yeah... C'mon.

I have noticed this as an issue on 3 different ROMs that I have flashed and thinking it must be a Sense 4.0 issue, but thought I would ask anyway.
Inside of the MMS/SMS app, when reading a text, the text size is huge. I've set the font size to small inside the app, but nothing changes.I've also set the font size inside the system settings (settings -> display -> font size) to small, but the text size remains pretty large. Anyone know of a way to make this stick so the font is small?
The other issue is that if I set the message preview to 1 line (also inside the MMS/SMS app), it sticks until I go to another app and then come back into the MMS app, and then the preview is either 2 or 3 lines. VERY annoying and somewhat cosmetic, but is bugging the hell out of me.
I have tried this on Viper, Flipz and Joelz ROMs and the result is the same on each, so this is why I'm thinking it's a Sense 4.0 issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
For the font size issue, open a text message and then pinch the screen where the conversation is. It should zoom out and make them smaller.

I noticed the same "bug" and it seems like it randomly resizes the font.
I changed the font size to small in the system settings and it didn't change until I rebooted. Have you tried that yet by any chance?

Using the pinch method above did work for the font size inside the texts themselves, but didn't help with the preview.
And yes, I did also try changing the size and then rebooting but that didn't work either.
Same bug exists in email app, as far as preview line setting.

Same with mine. I rebooted and it went smaller but then the next time I went to it, it was small again. I wish there was more control over having different font sizes for different things.

i have exactly the same problem with the message previews... it's infuriating! after rebooting it reverts to 2-line preview but in the sms messages app settings it still says that it's set to 1-line
ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find this problem mentioned anywhere except from here...
i had this problem on ordroid 9 and now on viper. have tried superwipe, clearing app cache, etc to no avail..

No, I never did find any solution other than pinching the screen to reduce the text size. I have tried around 6 or so sense-based ROMs and they all do it, so I'm chalking it up to sense.
MODS - Please close this thread.
I'm starting this out of my huge disappointment when first getting my Note. I have great eyesight, and never had any problem seeing anything on my previous 4" - 4.3" phones. But things were really cramped on some apps. I was expecting to gain quite a bit of screen 'real-estate' with this big bump is screen size...but this DIDN'T happen. With 90%+ of the apps I used, they just scaled up...providing nothing more on the screen, just the same cramped layout, but bigger. I loaded up over 100 apps side by side on my Atrix and my Note to see which apps actually use the larger screen size well. This is just my personal opionin, but using the same exact display [but making it bigger] is actually a downgrade for me. I get the same amount of info, but I have to move my hand around a much bigger space to interact with this same amount. Anyways, I want to get a list together of all the apps that, by default [or with provided settings] you can adjust to actually use this extra space.
So far I've only run across 1 app, but it works 100 times better on my Note than the Atrix.
Business Calendar: This has in-app settings where you can adjust how much info to display, the font size of everything imaginable, and everything is customize-able in the widgets as well. This app works so well on the Note, I can literally go into 'month' view, and it will display all my events [with all their info], something I haven't been able to accomplish with any other app on any other device.
Go Launcher EX: Allows you to change grid size of home screen and app drawer, and change icon size easily [8x6 while shrinking icons slightly works nicely]
TweetCaster: In app adjustments of font size allow for more info displayed on screen.
Mobo Player: Floating Window feature works great on large screen. You can leave your video playing in corner [in floating, movable window] and use your device as usual, sending texts, email, etc. while your video plays in a separate window.
Would be great to get feedback from anyone else's experience so far, and what apps can be customized on the Note well. **This is my first week with the Note, so I'm really hoping there are a bunch more besides just the 1 I've found so far.

You are referring the the ROM 'Paranoid Android', correct? I will definitely be messing with my DPI settings personally to tweak my Note until I'm happy with it for sure. I'm also looking to get a list together of apps with built in settings that work well with larger screens. It would be nice to have a list, to be able to recommend alternatives to people when they ask, who will never be flashing new ROM's, or doing any adjustments from stock.
I was going to mess with my dpi manually, but I will definitely give Paranoid Android a look, thanks for the tip.

I'm retarded...sat down to do this and realized my camera's are on my phones. I will have to dust off my actual camera later on if I can find it.
Basically I'm just saying a lot of apps will display exactly the same thing regardless of physical dimensions of screen. So if an app has a vertical list of 26 buttons to scroll through, and the smaller screen device shows 5 at a time, and you have to scroll through the rest. It would be nice if with the Note you would now see 6 buttons at a time, with the buttons remaining the same physical dimensions. But the Note will still show the same 5 buttons, just enlarged to fit the larger size...so you don't gain anything. [I'm probably not explaining myself very well, but it sounds like the previous suggestions of changing my dpi will solve this.
Go Launcher let me make my icons [with less pixels] so now they are the same physical dimensions they were on my Atrix [same readability] but now I have 8 rows, and 6 columns instead of 6 rows by 5 columns [Giving me 18 more icons, the same size as Atrix]
Make sense?
I believe that its because the apps arent written to scale up. Kinda like how tablet apps are written to fit tablet screens vs phone screens. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, that is the reason. That's why I'm putting together a list of apps that are coded for better use on larger screens [but still the phone version of their app and not tablet] or have options in their settings to scale objects / fonts / etc. within their app.

Does CM9 have DSP Manager as part of the system? I had it on my Atrix, I believe as part of CM7. The sound is not nearly loud enough right now, I think that was the case with my Atrix also before I discovered the DSP Manager [Totally changed how I could use my device, as the sound was enough to fill a whole room even with background noise after I switched to CM7]

Check under: Settings>Display & Gestures>Font Size to see what you have it set to.
Also, in messages you can actually pinch to make the text smaller and the opposite to make it bigger.
As far as I know, that's the only options we have so far (someone correct me if I'm wrong!).
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! All of the settings were set to small, but I tried the Pinch on the Messages screen and it WORKED like a Charm!! I am so much happier now.
I know it seems corny but I felt like i was a blind person the font was so large.

Just wanted to congratulate you guys on a great app.
I have a Galaxy Mega 6.3 i9205 which has a resolution of 1280x720 but unfortunately a default 240 dpi.
Most parts of various themes working correctly, its just a few items are not correctly aligned.
From experience, the 240 dpi causes problems with other launchers and changing to 320 dpi fixes those launchers but makes the rest of the interface far too big and breaks some of the menus.
I was wondering if there was a way to adjust some of the themes manually or anything else I could do?
Much appreciated.

Hi, it's hard to say as Themer is designed to look what phone it's on, in this case the Mega isn't fully supported. The advice we could give would to to maybe try changing the resolution as well, but we can't guarantee this will work and that you should try it at your own risk.

This is why I created a similar thread a few days ago. Themer does not play well with non-stock DPI. If widgets and other graphics could be placed relative to the display margins/center (instead of absolute pixels), they should render correctly regardless of DPI.

Zooper already does render things like this. Try out something like Simple Sea or Pro UI. I rebuild these themes so that the anchor points for objects are relative to the side of the screen they are on. IE Top Center, Top Left, Top Right, Center, Center Left, Center Right, Bottom Center, Bottom Left, Bottom Right.
The only things that you will likely have issue with are when Zooper adds spacing, so layers such as Regular Text thats curved, Series based layers, and Progress bars that have spacing splits. Also Regular and Rich Text, that is set to an anchor of left or right, but also has a text alignment of Center, will be off by a bit. These are all as you are saying based on absolute pixel. Everything else in Zooper is based off of DIP (device independent pixels, http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#density-independence)
There is NO WAY to fix these issues without breaking every Zooper widget, be it stand alone or in Themer, that was produced before your suggested change.
We do not support non-stock DPI. So if you want to use non-stock then you are going to have to do a little leg work on your own to fix the themes on your device.

I know your pain brother. Default dpi/scaling looks like a phone for 90year old with mega eyesight issues + steps to lower it to a good looking system are too steep, so you can have either Large or tiny option. View mode setting has zero effect on size of notifications in respect of incoming notifications and notifications appearing in in quick toggle area. Text Size @ Small makes them notifications look bit better but not ideal considering its a qhd screen..
Try going for small in both of these settings. At first View Mode/Text Size set to small seemed to tiny to handle, but I got used to it already. I would rather have small and crisp text than that default large out of place crap..
No i dont have root, but what happens if i do have root?

No, you are wrong. Text size does change the size of notifications. View mode is the setting that's not working properly since it has no effect on size of notifications no matter what of 3 size options you chose.
See the screenshot I made comparing 3 different sizes of Text size, which clearly show that size of notification does change depending on the chose size of "Text size".
If View mode would work properly, meaning its options would have affect on notification size than Text size - normal could be used, but unfortunately that's not the case, so in order to have decent looking phone Text Size and View mode should both be set to Small.

so what?!
Manual change of DPI does not give you any better results than View Mode - Small, Text Size - Small. Even the slightest change of DPI from "423" (423 is what the system sets with the mentioned settings (View Mode - Small, Text Size - Small)) messes up the whole system - for example, font in Chrome and Whatsapp jumps like crazy even @ 420 which is a small step down, so in short - messing just with DPI in development options will not give you more eye candy/more decent looking system than View Mode - Small, Text Size - Small.
I get it. In all my mobile phones I have used xposed with the appsettings module, we will have to pray for xposed to arrive soon in oreo in order to be able to touch the interface of the system. Huawei must offer better tools for the density of notifications but I do not think it will fix it
Lowering the dpi also or increasing the dp in the developer options did not change the notifications size also. I was having the mate 9 and it was working perfectly for me in this regard. There should be some update to fix this issue.

Set mine to 492. I noticed the notification contents to shift down when I set it to 493 or higher.
I set it to view mode normal and text size small and put dpi in developer settings to 392. It looks like as it should have been standard. Anyways, now I have to change dpi after every reboot .

Me too. I noticed dpi in developer settings reverts back to 432 every after reboot. Also auto brightness. It activates after reboot even if you turned it off. I guess we should lessen rebooting from now on. ?
