Supporting fonts - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Hello!
So, I'll go straight to the point: I use twitter a lot and several people use symbols/letters I can't see due to my font not being updated (I assume).
I decided to use a module to get the iOS 11 font, it looks cool and all but unfortunately I still can't see those symbols.
The question is: is there a way to support all these symbols by adding them to my current font or something?
Edit: Yes, my phone is rooted and I'm currently on MIUI 10 (Xiaomi EU ROM)

Hi
Did you try this theme ?

I guess you can chose only font, once installed on santoni ?

[Q] OS Low level modifications

Hello everybuddy
Happy to be among you XDA members
I am new to android, I know how to work with Odin and what a custom ROM, rooted OS,... mean and need some answers to figure out some concepts:
1. I guess Google has made android a modular and structured platform, is it possible to extract some base applications from one ROM and install it on another one currently running on the phone (i9000 in this case), for example is it possible to extract ICS sms app and install it on a 2.3.3 ROM on the phone? or for example extract excellent Samsung keyboard from stock 2.3.3 ROM and install it in a custom ICS ROM?
2. How android manages input languages? for example I see one ROM providing 6 european languages and another with middle-eastern ones... does android provide a regular method to install and uninstall input languages from standard keyboard? (for example you may tell take X files from some ROM and add them to Y folder in another ROM) if so I may add some languages to an ICS custom ROM.
3. How it manages fonts? is there a regular method to add other fonts to the phone? and how to set the default one?
4. A strange problem I saw in a custom ICS rom was that it kept phone numbers in dash-based format (i.e. 090-233-23-23) and if the numbers already in address book was simple and dash-free, wile receiving incoming calls the phone app can't match the contact name in the address book and only shows the number! How you may change this? I like numbers stay simple and dash-free!
5. How to analysis all low-level OS files currently on the phone? for example is there some PC software similar to Odin that connects to phone and shows file system tree ?
Thanks in advanced for any help and reply
as far as keyboard goes if you are talking about swype you can get the swype beta which is free and works on Ics.
I have this on my phone running team icsgs.
Just do a quick google search for swype beta.

I don't mean Swipe, all the features it provides, the way it changes language and...
I need to figure out how android provides modules
Hi, did you find out how input languages work? I just installed the ICS333 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and would like to add Greek, which is not currently listed (in the Android keyboard settings > input languages).
low level?

[Q] Paranoid Android change font?

Fairly new to this Rom flashing lark, so far have installed and am really enjoying Paranoid Android 2.16 but I would like to change the system font, as I don't like the one it comes with. Have tried a couple of Font Installer apps from the market, but they only lead to it not booting and having to reflash the rom.
I thought the point of custom roms was so you can change things to have them as you want? Why deny us this one (surely) simple thing?
Any help would be appreciated

I even have bought an app that installs additional fonts to the system.
And it's not even a root app... selecting a font is just a regular android feature.
Luckily i still can use my Rom Toolbox Pro App.
But with the other app i can select the font normally via settings...
and i don't have to reboot...

Customized fonts

Good day to all
i just got my new S20 FE 5G (UI 2.5) and trying to set it up. I'm trying to "install" some custom fonts that i already use almost everywhere. (i need to install custom fonts cause i'm greek and i need the greek language)
Till now everything that is provided in internet (youtube tutorials) have failed
- #mono installs it's own fonts, but the fonts are not available in the fonts list in settings-display in order to select one
- Zfont installs the fonts, but when igo to settings to set one of them i get the message "is not supported. do you want to uninstal?"
- ifont (in order to create apk from ttf) can;t read the storage, even when i have already gave permission.....
any ideas gyus? anyone managed to instal a custom font?
Use another launcher. Nova, Microsoft and others...

On my Note8 I was able to use system-wide custom fonts via #HEX_ but on my new S20FE it says that the custom font support was removed in Android 10.
I guess it's a ploy by Samsung to make sure you use only fonts in the Galaxy Store which not only are 98% paid only, but comes in basic latin script (although some have Cyrillic script) or Hangul (Korean script) so you are out of luck if you need extended language support...
And no, using custom launchers won't help you outside the launcher itself.

How to apply 3rd party themes?

My main frustration with Miui is not being able to theme it myself, I don't like any of those themes in the store.
I applied for designer in their website but my theme has been waiting to be approved by them for like 3 months now.
I've tried several workarounds, like the force close method (Doesn't works for me I'm on Miui 12.0.6 Btw) and the theme editor from playstore (Works but reverts to stock after a while).
EU roms have a fix for this but there's no EU roms for this device, screw MediaTek.
I have root access via magisk and the unofficial twrp as recovery, is there anything I can do to install a theme permanently?

I just looked it up, only works for Miui 11 and is paid.
Also, even though it is restricted, I prefer Miui theme engine, it is very customizable and system wide. That's the main reason I haven't switched to Lineage Os, I've heard custom app icons only apply to launcher in Lineage Os (No custom icon in recents or settings apps tab)
Did you download the Swift Installer? Because it will support every phone after you install it will cost some money but you can download apk
MIUI themes are in MTZ format, You can either import them in theme store, or apply them through an app named "Theme editor for MIUI".
Keep in mind since there's no proper support for third party themes, they get reseted after some time and the phone returns back to stock theme.
So for now either you enjoy your theme for a few hours and it resets, or try to get it on the MIUI Theme store.
