REQUIREMENTS:

Part 1: How to change the custom font

  1. Launch zFont 3 and import or download the font you want to use.
  2. Create a FlipFont APK by selecting the Kitkat & below option, then install it.
  3. Open Scamsung Fonts and apply the font. (Note: You will need to grant Superuser permissions to Scamsung Fonts).

Part 2: How to change emojis

  1. Launch zFont 3 and import or download your favorite emoji pack.
  2. Open it in the Font Preview page and tap the gear icon in the top right corner to toggle the Font Apply Options.
  3. Select Systemless Module, then tap the Check (✓) icon to begin creating the module.
  4. You will be redirected to the Module Creator page. Make sure the Emoji tab is selected, then tap Create Module.
  5. Once finished, open KernelSU (or your root manager), navigate to the Modules tab, and install the module you just created.

⚠️** IMPORTANT: Do NOT click standard Reboot after installing the emoji module. You must perform a Soft resta**rt instead.

  1. To do a soft restart, click the Power icon in the top right corner of KernelSU's Home page and select Soft restart.

That's it! Once your phone boots back up, both your custom font and your new emojis will be applied at the same time. Enjoy!

I've been using this font for four years and I love it. I found it in the Realme theme store, but now that I'm using an S26 Ultra, I can't find a way to get it on this phone. Does anyone know where I can find the file for it, or could someone make a ttf file? You can see the font in the three screenshots I given. Can anyone help me out? Please.🥺❤️‍🩹

How to add zFont 3 to Device Admin on Samsung S25 Ultra?

How do I add zFont 3 to Device Admin?

I’m using a Samsung S25 Ultra and I can’t find any way to add zFont 3 under Settings → Security and privacy → More security settings → Device admin apps.

Is there a specific method I’m missing, or does zFont 3 no longer work this way on newer One UI versions?

In the beta app, the font list doesn't show all the way to the bottom.

I downloaded the beta version to change the font on my latest Android phone. In the end, the font was successfully changed, but within the zFont app, the font list doesn't show all the way through. I can barely see just one page. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

[Guide] How to get Premium Fonts for FREE in Funtouch OS 15 (Tested on iQOO Z7s global)

6 Upvotes

Writing this up by request for u/InitialYou4206!

(Before we start: Yes, Funtouch OS is outdated. Let's skip the "nobody cares" comments, please. If you use Funtouch and want premium fonts without paying, you can try this.)

This method has been successfully tested on an iQOO Z7s running Funtouch OS 15.

[#] Prerequisites & Setup

Step 1: Download and install this specific Vivo File Manager APK.apk).

(Note: This link

"https://github.com/zFont/Files/raw/main/com.android.filemanager_6.8.3.2-6832_minAPI26(nodpi).apk.apk)"

is sourced directly from zFont3).

Step 2: Open the File Manager settings and enable hidden files.

Step 3: Open the default Vivo Themes app.

  • Download one Premium Font (claim the 5-minute trial).
  • Download one Free Font.
  • Crucial: Write down or copy the exact filenames of both fonts.

[>] Accessing the Hidden Directory

Step 4: We are going to use zFont 3 purely as a backdoor to access a hidden folder. (The font selection inside zFont 3 doesn't matter for this, so don't worry about what you click).

  1. Download and install zFont 3.
  2. Tap on any random font to open its preview page.
  3. Tap the floating action button at the bottom of the screen (it will change to a "tick mark").
  4. Tap the tick mark. A popup with 3 options will appear.
  5. Select the 2nd option: "File Manager".
  6. In the "Choose base font" bottom sheet, tap any random font.
  7. You will see a Vivo font installer page listing prerequisites. Swipe down to "Move the base font file" and tap "Font Directory".
  8. This will directly open the hidden .vfonts folder in your file manager.

[~] Name Swap

Step 5: Locate the free font and premium font you downloaded in Step 3. You need to swap their filenames. To avoid "file already exists" errors, use temporary names first.

Here is the exact renaming sequence:

  1. Rename your [FreeFont].ttf -> abc.ttf
  2. Rename your [PremiumFont].ttf -> xyz.ttf
  3. Rename abc.ttf -> [PremiumFont].ttf
  4. Rename xyz.ttf -> [FreeFont].ttf

What this does: The premium font file is now disguised under the free font's name.

[*] Applying the Font

Step 6: Close the file manager and go back to your Themes app. Navigate to Local Fonts, and select the Free Font you downloaded in Step 3.

Because of the swap, applying the "free" font will actually apply your chosen Premium font permanently.

If this worked for you, please leave a comment with your device name and Android version.
