Hello Folks, looking for a little help here. Flahsed via FlashFire and it did its thing. After it rebooted it seemed like not all fonts were working and did a permission change to 0644 and now on stuck on Yellow Sprint logo. any way to recover from this and get my phone back to working properly.

What did you flash via FlashFire? Was it a zip file for the fonts listed in this thread somewhere?... Usually a battery pull has helped me (even then it takes longer to boot as the optimizing apps screen will show up), but I have had issues with certain xposed modules leaving my phone stuck on the at&T logo. I usually wait a good 15 mins and then I just perform a battery pull and restart. It's worked for me so far. YMMV.

No, without root you can't change fonts...

Anyway...
i copied the Helvetica Neue font manually into my system folder, it's working great and i love it..
But it's a bit hard for me to read now, the font seems a bit too thin IMO. Can someone pls upload
the bold version of the Helvetica Neue font? Thx!

Here's the 55 Roman Helvetica (instead of 25 Ultralight or 45 Light) as TTF... not bold, not thin. http://www84.zippyshare.com/v/AM026PFT/file.html

edit: And 75 Bold... http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/L68pE00L/file.html

Thanks m8. But i can't get it to work... Copied both fonts to system/fonts/ and set
permissions but they don't apear in the settings>display>fonts. Do i need to make
some changes to fonts_lge.xml?
Oh right, sorry. Yeah, its explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/add-one-fonts-to-easily-t3194682

Adding something like...
Code:
<family name="Helvetica">
<font weight="400" style="normal">LTe51250.ttf</font>
<font weight="700" style="normal">LTe51252.ttf</font>
</family>
to fonts_lge.xml should do it. Alternatively LTe51252.ttf for 400 as well if you really want the bold font everywhere.

As I never use the Coffee font I simply copied my favorite font to /system and renamed it like the Coffee font (after deleting the originel font of course). Reboot, select Coffee, and there is Helvetica.

Not as nice probably, but (for me) easiest and quickest :good:

Thank you very much m8...
