PS: changing font size will make watch restart and changing density will restart launcher, both are needed to apply the settings.
It should work with any watch and any ROM. No requirements (no need for root, bootloader unlocked, etc).
Simply uncompress the ZIP file and use "adb install", ApkInstaller or Amazfit Tool (both for Windows only) to install (package name is tk.lfom.SetFont). Choose the desired font scale and/or screen density and tap the SAVE button to apply the settings.

Acknowledgments
I have used IntervalTrigger as a starting point, there isn't much of the code in the app but I had to start from somewhere, kudos to @kerfall:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/interval-training-app-amazfit-t3715245
And thanks to @ingraynieris for testing and suggestions, and @1immortal for support.

I tried it, found it working and useful!
Thank You!

Great, now I don't have to tweak build.prop every time I update. Thanks

Agreed! Simple solution to fonts that are just a little too small for comfort. Thanks!

It would be great if you could implement the display inversion too (as mentioned here):

I've tried: no way unless using root, and I don't think an app that requires root would be useful for most people.

Thanks for considering this.
Is Root required because the entry is in the secure section of the database?
This ROM has Root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/paceficator-project-wos-2-6-0-12-rom-v0-t3794922
Having Root is for some of us a must.
In case the function is implemented, would the App still be working on non-rooted phones except for the inversion function or would the whole thing only be working on rooted watches?
Edit: I found a way to do the inversion on the watch via the App SetEdit after giving it permisssion to write to secure section:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

After looking a little deeper into this I think that your app doesn't need root to access it. WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS should be enough as I wrote above.

I think I have tried even this and it didn't work... Do you have root on the device you tested this?

Increasing HR font
It would be great if you could implement how to increase the HR font too. This one and the battery are too small. Do you have an idea? Or a solution?
Thanks!

Just installed on stratos. Is it correct that the icon is not centred on the screen on the last page?
Edit: Sorry realised its just an icon and not a widget.....

Hey mate, thanks for this app - works like a charm on Stratos. It helps me a lot as I am on contact lenses
I use the Stratos mainly as a sports watch, so this app also make the font of the "autolap-window" large. I now have a nice, big number which I can see even when running in the dark.
Do you think there is any chance to get an different font type for the normal sports-mode windows (those with 4 or 6 data fields)? The stock font is a bit compressed, a simple Arial standard font would work better.
Regards!

I don't think it's possible, the Sport and locked screen modes aren't normal Android screens so they aren't affected by system settings. Maybe it's possible changing the font, but as far as I know you need to install them as system file so root is needed.

That's interesting - your app makes the font of the "autolap-window" larger and in sports mode also the labeling of the fields, but not the text itself.
I wrote to customer support, maybe they might do something.
Thanks a lot anyways, 130% helps a lot!

I am already using this app to increase the font size which is pretty useful. But how do I change font to any custom font of my choice?
Any help? The moment I press change font, watch restarts... Not sure if I am missing something in here..

[MOD][Xposed][4.0.3+] SlicedToast 1.2 Shortens toasts below minimum

Hello everyone, this is my first xposed mod. I've always been annoyed with how long even the short toasts are, around 2 seconds, and since using BurntToast by MohammadAG the big toasts seemed to get in the way since they took so long. So in short this mod lets you make toasts shorter than the minimum and anywhere in between up to the maximum toast length. I've also added an option to disable toasts altogether if you're so inclined. I'll be uploading to the repository soon, just wanted to post here first.
Thanks all!
edit: I've updated the mod to have a more streamlined menu and to no longer require a soft reboot to make settings stick. I've also added a button to test your toast.
Works great on Note 3. Thanks

Works great. Is it possible to disable toasts for specific apps rather than everything?
Some screenshots please?
Could you clarify what this module does? Is it shortening the time the toast is displayed? or shortening the size of the toast? TIA!

Read it again.
can you also add the ability of swipe-to-remove the toasts?
also maybe have the ability to customize their default looks ?
for example, show which app (icon and/or package name) has created the toast.
or maybe a background (maybe of a real toast ) ?
it would be nice if there could be something like touch through toasts if you know what I mean...
PM from Turkish translator
I also changed Sliced Toasts please change that, trust me it was little complex. This is better.
Choose Toast Length - Toast'ın ekranda kalacağı süreyi seçin
Check to use a custom length - Süre için özel değer girin
Custom (maximum 3000ms) - Değer (En fazla 3000ms)
And don't forget to check upper case-lower case. Choose Toast Length = They should be lower case.

Custom font size on stock ROM

How can I have custom system font size on Motorola stock lollipop ROM like that of CM12.1? There are only 4 options on stock ROM namely small, medium, large, very large. What I want is ability to control the percentage of font size like CM has.
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind guys, problem solved. There are loads of apps available on the playstore for this purpose.

This one works without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.bfont, you need to reboot after every change. There's a root mode as well that lets you change size on the fly.
This one needs root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.gatay.android.fss and is the best for the purpose. I use this one. Default font size is way too large and looks rubbish to me.

MIUI 7 Change DPI and the side effects?

Hi all,
I have found a way to change the dpi without root, just using adb and cmd and it worked like a charm...well, almost. There are a couple of UI glitches that appear when you reduce (or increase for that matter) the dpi.
Firstly, the icons on the home screen mess up, but that's not SUCH an issue as you can install another launcher or in my case, find an icon pack that doesn't show the mess up quite as much (my preferable choice because you see the icons set in different areas of the UI, such as the notifications shade and recents menu, settings, etc.)
Secondly, and the most annoying, is the crop function messes up in the weirdest way. Whether it be when changing wallpaper or trying to crop a picture in CamScanner, the image you choose appears zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out or even move the image around, only zoom in further.
Now, my question is, has anyone managed to find a suitable dpi that MIUI does not have a problem with, or are there some standard dpi's MIUI uses apart from 480? Or has anyone found a way around any of these issues (or any other issues they may have encountered when changing the dpi)? Last but not least, is there a custom version of MIUI out there, or a rom that has it's visuals (and camera app) but custom tailored to suit various dpi's and other modifications?
I really cannot live with the stock dpi of 480, it's like using a phone made for old people, waaaay too large EVERYTHING on a large screen, I want to see more on a large screen. But I also am not yet prepared to go off MIUI as I really like their UI, visually, and I know any other rom will lose a lot of camera quality amoungst some other things like battery life, etc.
Thanks guys in advance for any advice.

If the original one is 386 I think 400 is kinda useless... Or did you mean 300?
Original is 403dpi if I'm not mistaken. I set mine to 375 and it's absolutely perfect..
Default density is 480.

No, the original is 480, which is too large...where did you get the number 386 from? perhaps it is another one of their phone's stock DPI, which means MIUI might not warp on this DPI value? Will check it out, but any information you have, please let me know

Just to be sure - phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode to accept ADB commands from PC right?
used some of the suggested DPI's but...
so, thanks guys, used some of the suggested DPI values, 386 and 375, and mostly everything works fine....except still some small issues with the icons and the cropping. try and set a wallpaper for a whatsapp group for example, photo shows as zoomed in and cannot zoom out to choose a crop of the WHOLE image like I used to....have attached some screenshots of what happens to my icons....is this possibly because I am not rooted that the DPI value is not getting set in to the system correctly? Is anyone who is rooted facing the same issues or not?
might convince me to root, this is the first device i have managed to be happy without rooting lol

No, no need....as long as you have ADB drivers installed and you are launching the CMD from within the ADB folder, it will work. Oh and of course USB debugging enabled and the first time it tried to access the phone for ADB details, you will need to allow it to by hitting remember and ok on the phone

The original isn't near 386. I went down to 380 and everything it far smaller than a 6 dpi difference. I'd say stock is closer to 430 - 450
Yes man, you was right the original DPI is 440, the app textdroiderDPI was showing me an incorrect value of 386 (maybe a little bug...).
Setting it on 440 with LeDpiChanger gave me a full stock MIUI size

[APP] Second Screen Status Bar

NOTE: ALPHA PHASE HAS FINISHED.
If anyone wants to continue using this app which is going to be pro only for the moment, contact me (tg group and channel)
THIS PROJECT IS BEING UPDATED AND SUPPORTED AND I DON'T PLAN TO ABANDON IT.
If you ever wanted to have a working status bar in the second screen in a stock ROM, this is the thread you were looking for.
I have coded a widget for the second screen that replaces what the stock status bar does (and even more perhaps).
It has been months of coding.
As always, you have to install the app and open second screen settings and enable the widget.
If you want to hide the status bar, there are several ways. I do it using an xposed app to change status bar height. If you don't want to use xposed, you will have to go the long way of modding system. I may do it some day when I finish coding but there is a lot of stuff in my to-do list.
Don't forget to use the settings option to set some of the available features in this release.
If you find any bugs, I will need a log (logcat) with both log settings enabled. I will try to fix any bugs.
Check the attached screenshots!

I have not been trying much how to hide the status bar as I need time to code the app but afaik that can't be done because it will mess full screen apps (and maybe the notifications pull down because it's not drawn below the status bar but over it). Let me know if I'm wrong or if you know how to make it work correctly. Thanks
If you use any app that changes its notification icon, like a battery meter app, speedmeter app, weather app, etc, you will see the icon does not get updated. This is because I tried to optimize everything as much as possible so the app is coded to get the icon just once. The PRO version, if it ever gets to be released (depending on the interest of the users), will have some code to handle those apps which very little battery drain (which actually depends on how buggy or optimized is the notification posting from the app).
In the tg channel there is a video showing it.
@Daved+ tested works fine, thanks for this. I'm glad that it doesn't go away suddenly like previous solutions. I'm interested in buying pro version, jus need to figure out a way to disable the status bar without going the Xposed way. Tried Nova launcher hide option, it takes away the second screen as well, so no luck yet.
Edit: quote op correctly
Working great on my unlocked US996.
Would love to have single line height rather than stacked. Too cluttered with two lines of icons for my taste.
Thanks!

AFAIK you have to patch system to change the height of the status bar (you have to use apktool to decompile and compile).

Great to hear it works in different models. I can do other layouts, I have several ideas, this one was to use the second screen as much as possible to make the screen look bigger so no empty spaces in the corners. If you want, let me know your ideas, but I also need support to continue development.

Think there's a way to replace the default screen Date & Time Screen-Off Widget with yours when the main screen is off?
In the past, I have resorted to using battery percentage apps to get realtime charge levels during screen-off. I'd love to streamline that, using your app; which clearly has the potential to replace the default widgets.

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
