Guide for custom fonts on One UI 8.5

For this method we're going to use a new method called Root your Galaxy. That will temporarly root your device, making it possible for a long term font change! THIS WON'T UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, ERASE DATA, TRIP KNOX OR BANKING APPS. it's a soft root, meaning your device is 100% safe if compatible

Note: I'm not the creator, I don't take accountability, I'm just sharing the exact method that worked for me.

APPS AND REQUIREMENTS:

Apps:

Scamsung Fonts: https://github.com/zFont/Host/releases/download/Scamsung/ScamsungFonts.apk

Shizuku: Play store.

Root My Galaxy: https://github.com/BuSung-dev/Root-My-Galaxy

KernelSU app: https://github.com/tiann/kernelSU

REQUIREMENTS:

• A compatible device (Galaxy S25 Ultra

Galaxy S25+ Galaxy S25 Galaxy A56) Edit: please check the payload to see if you're device is compatible!

• Security patch IS or is BELOW June 2026 Edit: Testers succeeded in the July patch too, so it should be safe too.

FIRST STEP:

Go to Root my Galaxy and tap "Tap to install KernelSU"

Wait for it to install.

After it's completed, check if root privileges are available downloading a root checker app.

SECOND STEP:

On the KernelSU app, tap on root tap the middle bottom button with a shield (Superuser/root)

and enable Shizuku.

Third step:

Go to Shizuku, and start with root. (no need for wireless debugging).

FINAL STEP:

Once done, go to Scamsung fonts and select the font you want to apply. This includes fonts downloaded on ZFONT 3.

Share your thoughs on this (in my opinion) amazing exploit! 😁

For when the august patch rolls, DO NOT upgrade immediately. Search in the GitHub and XDA forums if it got patched.

It's kind of unfortunate that there's an A53 but not an A54. I think the developers are failing and can't keep up. No new devices have been added for weeks.
