OOS specific issue sounds like. We don't currently test against OOS but other than a couple apps not showing bold fonts I'm personally using this module on Android 13 on a pixel.
Full android 13 support across ROMs and OEMs will hopefully land in v6 I'm told, but 5.7.1 introduces workarounds for stock (AOSP/Pixel) 12+ ROMs.
Thanks for that. Perhaps a disclaimer in the OP post about OxygenOS would be helpful to some of us.
Hopefully v6 offers better support.
indeed, you are in the business creating outdated modules forever, praise google for that, it is not your fault and you can not change that! how crazy is that?
assuming this regards the internet-connection: i eny your 'always-anytime-forever-connected-life' i have to do local backups, save resources. i guess this sounds boring or silly for you, but i have to.
i am very proud of that! changing a device happens only all 1825days or later. furthermore i created a magisk-module to install the font on my phone. so i say thank you for your failing code so i was forced to solve it by myself. it was a great experience. unfortunately i can not provide logs since i deleted all font_manager related files. sorry.
of course - for all non-privileged - a pure offline working magisk module: [avFonts] [Magisk Modules]

Your sarcasm really isn't appreciated nor necessary. However, we're happy you've found a solution instead of trying to help us pinpoint the problem and wish you luck in using it instead.
Yeah, I won't lie!! I'm eagerly awaiting a working solution for OOS on A12! Stock fonts are just so, Meh!!!
They both use their own fonts. If we find a workaround we'll of course use it.
N.B. Some third party telegram clients have a "Use system font/emoji" option

Could you tell me which app includes it please?
thank you
Plus Messenger and Telegraph.Hi
Could you tell me which app includes it please?
thank you
sorry for the confusion with the posts,
it seems posts are lost
i already posted a more complete answer before!
short answer:
because android is developed that way
long answer:
since the very beginning android lacks the possibility
to let the user choose and set a font for the device
although this is declared as a 'modern' operating system
and the more modern this 'os' turns the more difficult
it gets to 'hack' fonts
flashable-zip-fonts or magisk-modules exist because of that restriction!
nowadays apks include 'apk-enforced-fonts' ignoring the system font
and a simple 'use system font' option is missing too
edit: except a very very few apks having that option
at the moment no magisk-module can change that
and it is unclear if it ever will
all this, the very whole topic, only exists because
from the perspective of the user it is condescending, disrespectful
and humiliating to not be able to choose and set a font one favours,
can read and view best! just like setting a wallpaper or ringtone!
can this be called an achievement, or can be said: well done
5.7.6 out… got me very excited, I must say. Alas, still no dice on OnePlus 7T Pro A12
Installed font only effects bold text… I could cry…
Installed font only effects bold text… I could cry…
5.7.6. doesn't play nice with play store, or at a glance widget . I'll try to get logs, but the short of it is that when I try to open the weather from at a glance, Google app crashes. Same thing when I open the play store and click on the "manage apps & device". Crash. This started happening once I updated to the latest from v5.7.2-121.

Cannot reproduce, pixel 6 pro, android 13, magisk canary.
I'll forward the logs to the appropriate people but we've only received a couple reports of crashing and currently cannot reproduce on our test devices
OxygenOS requires default (Roboto) font selected and isn't well supported because well OnePlus
I'm told the team is looking into it though

24The module is now deprecated. But don't worry - there's an app now!
Meet the font manager app. Featuring an easy to use MD3 design, it supports over 300 fonts and emojis, plus any local files!

Not only is their website so user unfriendly, the same goes for the new app. They completely cripple the functionality of the app unless you allow their awful full screen intrusive ads like a mobile game, unless however you purchase the premium version of the app.
On top of that, they want you to pay monthly so they don't slow down or limit the number of Magisk modules you can download from their repository if you have an ad blocker. Allowing ads once again shows horrible intrusive fullscreen ads! Imagine that, making money of off other developer's work because they put it in a nice little convenient package.
I always purchase the premium version of apps if I love them. But with the notoriety of this developer and how they force you to use their app and make the terminal based module useless is a completely ****ty thing to do to your users. If they made AMM a one time premium and let you download with no limits on their app I would have considered purchasing premium for doing a nice service after the original Magisk module repository went down
Begone with you and ptewy to your website and app! Uninstalling and will figure out how to make the old module work myself.4
When your business model is to annoy the hell out of users (like on your website) for money, you lose. With a combination of scripts and adblockers which I won't mention, it was easy to bypass all your restrictions. You understand the situation with YouTube right?
I have no problems with ads. It's when they become intrusive, annoying fullscreen unskippable. Sometimes malicious such as the ads in your app and website
If you really cared about the users using your app, you would not be so defensive. Your business model will lose money the more you push people away. Here's something you can do and I'll give it to you for free (after you watch this 1 minute ad):
Your app is useless when ads are blocked and even when it has no Internet connection. You can't install fonts or even open the damn settings page. The app is completely useless with ads blocked or when there's no Internet connection. instead of forcing people to buy the app by annoying them, give them something worth their money.
What you should do, keep the ads, just not as annoying and intrusive. No more fullscreen unskippable ads. Keep them at the top and bottom of the app and if you want even on the installer like you have now. Limit the number of fonts you can have downloaded or installed daily if you want. Or only allow certain fonts for free users. You can use this to collaborate with font designers or licensers to share a piece of the premium cake by offering a free font weekly.
Lock installing and converting custom fonts behind a premium including no ads. Lock previews if you want, to save on API calls. Immediately, your app becomes the most superior font installing app with a GUI and constant updates and support. I would definitely spend my money on that . You won't push people away and they will consider supporting the app. When you restrict the people that are using adblockers, you already lost them. So why not make their time worth it and take their money this way instead.33MODERATOR ANNOUNCEMENT
THREAD CLEANED
We're sorry you feel that way, but a one time fee is not sustainable for us. We intend to release a much improved version of AMM in beta soon, but no timeline.
The old module depends on an API we don't maintain anymore because it wasn't designed to handle the usage we see daily. We also received a lot of feedback asking for an app, so that's what we made.
We make money to cover the service WE provide. The modules themselves have no advertising or modifications. The bandwidth, API operations, support and development personnel, all of that costs us very real money.
And besides that - EVERY developer deserves something for their work. It's why we have programs such as our revenue sharing program. Attitudes like this from users are exactly why so many developers quit. Because there's just some users that think any price is too much, no matter how much value they get in return.
We're sorry you don't like the direction we go. But it works best for all parties involved in the long run, so it's not changing.
And check all the analytics they scrape from you when you open the app. The list is extensive. So pretty much a personal tracker that you pay for every month
You can't make this s*it up
If you argue that people find the terminal hard to use and that your reasons were genuine, you would have kept the module working.
And on top of that, it would made you app more popular as people who found the terminal to hard would go for your app instead. But you didn't, and people see you for what you are. Prove me wrong.
As explained above, the module uses an API we no longer maintain. In addition, it's been deprecated and unmaintained for months, almost entirely lacked android 13+ support, and we have our own reasons for discontinuing it (mostly due to technical debt and cost to run).
Once again, we're sorry you feel this way. But the app is free, we only use Firebase analytics to track user counts and installs, and having a subscription is optional if you want to remove ads and unlock extra themes.
I'm not sure what you think you're accomplishing tbh.
If you don't like the app, use something else. I personally won't stop you nor will I cry if you do. We make and maintain things that work well for us and the majority of our users.
I'll reiterate, we're sorry the app doesn't work for you, and apparently the module worked better for you. But we're not going to invest time and effort in a terminal based module that most users don't seem to prefer, and just because YOU don't see that cost doesn't mean there isn't one.
We don't have the power to hide reviews, only Google does. Evidently, they found it spammy or somethingAaaaand androidacy have blocked my review of the app.
Hiding the evidence, what a scum move.
Once again, we cannot and did not delete your review. Plus, Google only shows reviews if enough reviews match your device and Android version. You are completely free to verify this yourself with Google support documentation.
Font Manager doesn't use Sentry, and AMM no longer does either. We simply use MD3 design guidelines, so if you don't like MD3, then unfortunately you most likely will not like our apps. However, it's Google's own design guidelines, so we chose to follow them.
Both font manager and AMM have average loading times of under four seconds. Of course, a number of factors can impact this, and do that time can vary.
Crashes on FoxMMM/AMM were mostly due to a large, convoluted, and undocumented codebase, but that's neither here nor there and not appropriate for this thread.
And fyi, the module was a HUGE money drainer. The bandwidth associated with the module numbered in the terabytes some months, and the API that it used was not designed to handle the millions of requests it was seeing. We instead chose to focus on our app, and will of course continuously improve it.
The module has been deprecated since September, with a notice on the README informing of the upcoming app, so this shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone.
As for AMM, we hope to have a beta ready before 2024.
Once again, we're sorry you're not happy with the new app. But perhaps instead of throwing a fit to try to get the module back, you could provide specific and actionable feedback on improving the app.
The settings not being enterable is actually a bug currently with the way we initialize the ads SDK. That will be addressed next update.
There is (as of the 1.2.5 update) a 1 in 3 chance of showing an interstitial ad on a screen change and a chance of showing an app open ad on resuming the ad up to once per session, down from 1 in 2 on previous versions, and there's also frequency capping from AdMob. As it stands currently, interstitial ads have the highest CPC and therefore generate the most revenue. Perhaps if we get enough users, we can reduce their frequency even further or get rid of them entirely. 1.2.5 also removed the restriction on font installs with AdBlock, instead encouraging users to disable by introducing a 10 second wait time. All free downloads of any sort from the API are bandwidth capped and rate limited (mostly so we can provide a fair experience to everyone).
Your other feedback will, of course, be taken into consideration, as always.

On the request of the OP @androidacy , I have removed or edited posts that are off-topic to this thread. The decision how much off-topic discussion (if any at all) is accepted in a thread solely remains on the thread owner's discretion. The owner is the one who sets the standards -- meaning, for example, if an OP thread owner wishes a thread to be only a support thread on their published work or to only involve discussions on a specific subject/topic (i.e. Pixel's overheating, limitations of Xiaomi's devices, etc.), the moderation team must prune any posts outside of those parameters when requested by the OP. If anything, any member is free to create their own thread about any criticisms or grievances and allow/disallow whatever standards of off-topic they wish to have included.
I suggest to contact the OP privately if you have questions or concerns regarding the standards and conditions.
As such, opinions/criticisms/judgements or anything outside the topic discussing matters such as app support/troubleshooting/feature-requests/"specific and actionable feedback" will not be accepted in this thread. If the OP has addressed your issues or feature requests (or lack thereof), you must accept this is how the OP offers support and to continue to bring it up without any new "specific and actionable feedback" and/or if the OP has definitively answered on it in no uncertain terms will not be accepted in this thread.
Again, if you have grievances/criticisms/opinions/etc., I suggest you either bring up privately & directly to the OP/dev, create a thread/space yourself to discuss it (where you can control the direction and what is off-topic in your own thread), and/or feel free to bring it elsewhere from this thread.
Additionally, I have merged all of the OP's replies to the various off-topic posts (as shown above) -- for flow & readability (the fact many of them have been removed)
Thanks very much for your understanding and cooperation.
I wish everyone a Happy Holidays!
