   • Hi Jass,
     In this situation where nothing seems to work, I would suggest you to restore the nandroid backup file (which I suppose you did make before tinkering with the rooted device).

    • If you can boot into bootloader, please try restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you’ve made one before tinkering with your rooted device).

16. i always get unfinished 🙁 i uploaded the correct files. i’m using samsung galaxy grand duos.pls help

    • Julia, please explain which of the methods are you using to restore the font back?

17. Same here

18. I tried installing stock font but every time, the app stops responding. BTW I’m using Canvas HD. Please help me out.Thank you.

19. Sir, my problem is i want to get back my preinstall font. I lost my font after install this app. And actually i want to use preinstall font without this app. How to?… please help. I did not have any backup before and i use stock rom.

    • What was the need of using this app when you liked your pre-installed font at the first place? Anyways, do you remember the name of that font?

      • I do like this app and its good. But I need to know how to restore to preinstalled font. Anyway I saw inside menu in this app. It show backup/restore > restore. Then get me to list of font. Is that my font which backed up during installing costom font before.. Can I restore that font?
        I did not remember the name of font.
        Thanks for reply..

        • If you can see a font in the restore folder, then it’s likely that you took its backup. Try restoring that font and see if it works. If all that fails, you can always restore back to the stock font – it’s easy on eyes and doesn’t look terrible 🙂

          • Ok, thanks bro for yr help..

          • You’re always welcome 🙂

20. brother i got the stock font back but its not that bold………….and when i select yes for reboot it hangs as well…….i have to take out the battery……..i get the stock back but thinyy and not the original one please help

    • This shouldn’t happen! OK, Do one thing…use UOT kitchen and try to restore back the stock font from there. If you are unfamiliar with UOT kitchen, read their “how-to” section and proceed ahead. Good luck!

      • Brother thank u v much
        That problem was solved. Please guide me now regarding the problems that i can have with the 4.0.4 update that i got for my samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-p3113. When i connect the charger it shows for example 86% and then it stays there as 86% and as i disconnect the charger it shows correct figure. Though there are no problems with the discharge time 1. Is it a software issue or hardware like battery issue
        2. How to know if the product is refurbished or not

        • Bro, I’m neither using any Samsung Galaxy Tab nor the Android ICS right now. But i believe i’m acquainted with this charging issue on android powered devices – it happens sometimes with my hTC. I think it is due to loads of processes and apps running in the background. The battery percentage stays at for ex – 80% and then shoots back to 100% right after i restart my device. Not sure though if this was exactly what you were asking for ? Try posting your issue on XDA forums and see what can they do for you!

21. perfect..!

    • KeAn, glad you were helped 😉

22. Excellent Application……..just perfect

    • Thanks for the comment Mr. Dhruv. I am glad that the information was useful to you 🙂
      Hope to see you coming back again 🙂

      • Hi there! I tried this with my phone. Everything went fine until the reboot part. The reboot button dind’t do anything so I manually restarted my phone. Nothing happened. I am able to change the font in any phone menu to, say, Helvetica which is good enough. But the browser font and font in Facebook stay completely hideous. This is, I believe, due to some glitch or error in the default system font file…I guess. I would be happy to get some help! 😀

        • Hi Mikko, thanks for your comment. Try restoring your nandroid backup (i assume you surely took one before messing with your rooted device :)). This application has perhaps stopped working as expected (this is what i can assume from some recent comments here & it looks like i need to update this post as well). You’ll get your stock fonts back after restoring the nandroid backup via recovery. I hope this helps 🙂

          Edit: In case you don’t want to restore the nandroid back OR, in case you’ve lost one. Here’s what you can do – Go to UOT kitchen and select F01 Driod Sans (default) font under the fonts tab. Then go to file upload tab and select the appropriate files for your ROM. Finally, go to summary and submit the work to the kitchen. You’ll get a flashable zip file containing the default font for your ROM. All that you have to do is to flash it via recovery.
          Please let me know whether you get your fonts back or not.

          • Hi! Thanks for the swift reply! I actually got the app to work by first emailing the font file to myself and saving it onto the SD card. Then the app allowed me to install the font and rebooted itself. Now my font looks great both on the phone and in other applications. Thanks Abhisek!

          • Oh, that’s wonderful my friend. Glad to know 🙂
            Hope to see you here often.
