How to change fonts on Android

In almost all cases, the default font on your Android phone or tablet suffices. It looks pleasant and is usually of the right size for comfort. But, there will always be Android users who’d prefer some other typeface, who’d want to stand out from the crowd. And, there will always be that small crowd of people who tinker with their Android device’s fonts just for the sheer pleasure of being able to.

If you belong to either or both groups, you’re on the right page. The great thing about Android is that it is an extremely customizable mobile operating system; it even allows you to change the fonts used by its user interface. Font changing, however, doesn’t necessarily mean easy. In many cases, customizing fonts requires some technical know-how.
In this guide, learn how to change fonts on Android. Two types of methods are discussed: one not needing root, and the other requiring root.

Non-root methods

Through custom OEM skins

Stock Google Android doesn’t have native functionality for changing system fonts. You certainly can’t easily change the fonts on Nexus phones and tablets — at least not with some bit of hackery. On none of the Nexuses, for example, can you just go to the Settings page and tap an option there to change the system fonts. Not even certain AOSP-based custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod or AOKP has a built-in function for changing system fonts on the fly.
But, when OEMs like Samsung and LG get their hands on AOSP code, they add extra bells and whistles– such as font changing — into their custom skins.

For instance, some Samsung Android devices such as the Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 10.1, and even the Galaxy Camera, let you change the font style. Samsung has preinstalled a few extra fonts besides the default, but you can get more online through the Google Play Store.
There’s similar functionality on certain LG phones, too, and to fetch more fonts, you’ll be redirected to the LG Smart World instead of to the Google Play Store.
Putting on a new font requires only a quick trip to Settings > Display > Font Style. Just tap the name of the font that you want, and confirm that you want to set it as system font. Font replacement is instantaneous. No need for rebooting. The selected font will be displayed throughout your device’s interface such as the time on the status bar, system menus, and even on your text messages.

Through custom launchers

One non-root way to change fonts on Android is through custom launcher apps. Some custom launchers integrate the font-changing function, while most others will need you to install themes.
One very popular custom launcher that provides a way to change fonts is GO Launcher EX.
A downside to font customization in GO Launcher EX is that it doesn’t change the font in your apps and Android system menus. The font changes are applied only to selected parts of the custom launcher UI but not to the entire system. To change font styles in GO Launcher EX, do the following:

1. Copy your TTF font files to the /sdcard/GOLauncherEX/fonts directory.
2. Open GO Launcher EX.
3. On the main home screen, tap the Menu button (represented by 3 dots) or swipe the screen upwards.
4. Tap on the Preferences button to bring up the GO Launcher Settings page.
5. Tap on Visual Settings.
6. Swipe to the Font tab on the left.
7. Tap on Scan Font to let the app scan your directories for font files. If everything goes well, the app should also be able to find the fonts that you copied to the /sdcard/GOLauncherEX/fonts directory.
8. Tap Select Font and tap on the font that you want to use.

Changes will apply immediately. No need for rebooting. If you want more fonts for use with GO Launcher EX, download and install GO Launcher Fonts.

iFont (for Samsung devices)

The popular iFont app can also be used for changing fonts. Although primarily for Samsung devices (both rooted and non-rooted), the app can also work on certain rooted, non-Samsung devices.
On non-rooted Samsung devices, use iFont’s Online tab to browse for available fonts. To use a font on the list, do the following:

1. Enable installation of apps from “Unknown Sources.” This option can usually be found in Settings > Security.
2. Launch iFont. Go to the Online tab.
3. Tap on a font name that you want to install.
4. Tap the Download button.
5. Tap the Set button. Or go to Settings > Display > Font Style. Your newly installed font should appear on the list.
6. Tap on the new font to use it as system font.
7. Font is applied immediately. No reboot needed.
   
   
   
   
   You can also copy TrueType (TTF) fonts from your PC to the /sdcard/ifont/custom directory; the said fonts will appear on the Custom tab. But, to be able to install and use the fonts, you will need a rooted device. (For a guide on using this app on rooted devices, see the iFont subsection under “Methods requiring root.”)
   iFont is free and shows no ads. It worked quite well on several devices (including non-Samsung phones) that I tested it on.
   

   Methods requiring root

   Important note

   If you have root privileges on your phone or tablet, you will be able to alter system files and, in the course of doing so, you could render your device useless. So, be careful.

Font changer apps for rooted devices

An easy way to change fonts on rooted Android devices is to use font changer apps that support use on rooted devices. There are several of such apps on the Google Play Store. Most of them also offer a preview function that lets you see how a font looks like.
In this subsection, know more about two font changer apps that are worth checking out: Font Installer and iFont.

Font Installer

For rooted phones, Font Installer is a great free app for changing system fonts. It has a built-in font preview feature, so while scrolling up and down the list of built-in fonts, you know exactly how they look like once activated on the device.

This is an ad-supported app. Ads appear at the bottom. Remove the ads by purchasing a license.
To install a TTF font file that you’ve saved to your device:

1. Copy to your device the TTF font file that you want to use, preferably into the /sdcard directory.
2. Launch Font Installer.
3. Before tampering with your system fonts, backup your existing default fonts first. Tap on the Menu (three dots) button and select Backup/Restore. Select Backup. If Superuser or SuperSU asks for permission, grant it.
4. Tap on the Local tab to open the directory explorer. Locate your TTF file.
5. Tap on the TTF file that you want to use. From the popup dialog, tap Install to set it as the default system font. (If you want to preview the font first, tap on Preview.)
6. If Superuser or SuperSU asks for permission, grant it.
7. Font Installer will prompt you to reboot your device. Tap on Yes.
   
   To install a new font from Font Installer’s online font collection:
   
8. Open the Server tab in the Font Installer app to see the catalog of fonts.
9. Tap on the name of a font that you like.
10. From the popup dialog, tap on Preview if you want to see sample text rendered in the chosen font; or, tap on Install if you want to download the font and set it as your system font.
11. If a backup warning/notice appears, make sure you let the app backup your font files. This shouldn’t take a long time.
12. Allow the app to reboot your device.

iFont

Unlike Font Installer, the iFont app can work on most Samsung devices even if they are not rooted. But, to be able to use it on a non-Samsung device, you will need root access. (Yes, you can also use it on a rooted Samsung device.)
To download, install, and use a custom font using the Online tab:

1. Tap on the font you want to install.
2. Tap the Download button.
3. Tap the Set button.
4. If you get a prompt about setting the mode to System Mode, just tap the OK button.
5. Your device will reboot to apply the new font
    
   If you want to use a local TrueType (TTF) file, just copy the TTF file to the /sdcard/ifont/custom directory on your device. Then, do the following:
   
6. On the iFont main screen, tap on the Menu button (three-dots at upper-right corner).
7. Tap on Settings > Change Font Mode. If you’re using a rooted non-Samsung device, choose System Mode. If using a rooted Samsung device, choose Samsung Mode.
8. Go to the Custom tab in the iFont app.
9. Tap on the font that you’d like to use.
10. Tap the Set button.
11. If prompted whether to change the font, tap on OK.
12. If you get a prompt about setting the mode to System Mode, just tap the OK button.
13. Your device will either apply the new font immediately or reboot to apply the new font.

The geeky way

So far, I’ve told you about the painless, sweat-free, and easy ways to change fonts on your Android. But, if you have the heart of a geek, or you just love the thrill of doing stuff manually, then you’ll find much fun in manually changing the fonts on your Android device.
These manual methods require root because you’ll be tampering with a protected system directory, specifically the /system/fonts directory, where font files used by your device reside. There are two manual methods for changing fonts — through the Android Debug Bridge and through a root-level file manager app. Before I talk about those two, let’s talk about system fonts first.

System fonts

If you are brave enough to manually change fonts on your Android, the font files that will be of great interest to you will be the following:

• Roboto-Regular.ttf — This font file is the most used system-wide. I see it almost everywhere — from app labels to menu text.
• Roboto-Bold.ttf — This is the boldface variant of Roboto. Unlike the regular typeface, this one’s not as frequently seen. There’s bold text in several areas of your device, and this font face is most likely the one used.
• Roboto-Italic.ttf — This is the italic variant of Roboto.
• Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf — This is the boldface and italic variant of Roboto.

All of these fonts are inside the /system/fonts directory. For starters, you might want to play around with the Roboto-Regular.ttf file, as it’s the one that appears to be most used system-wide.

   

The overall general idea is to replace system font files with new font files having exactly the same file names as the originals but containing the new typefaces that you want to use.
For example, if you want to use a TTF font file named Times_New_Roman.ttf in place of Roboto-Regular.ttf, you’ll need to rename the Times_New_Roman.ttf file into Roboto-Regular.ttf and copy the renamed (faux) file into the /system/fonts directory.
VERY IMPORTANT: Always make a backup copy of the font files that you will be replacing so that if something goes wrong, you will have copies to restore. I usually rename the original file into something with a *.bak extension, or with “bak” within the file name (i.e., Roboto-Regular.ttf becomes Roboto-Regular.ttf.bak or Roboto-Regular-bak.ttf). This way, the original file remains in the same directory but under a different file name.
It is also a wise idea to make backup copies on your PC hard drive and in a different directory on your Android device.

How Google Pakistan Was Hacked?

Today morning, when i accessed google.com.pk, I was surprised to see the defacement page of turkish hackers, Later on i came to know that other websites such as Microsoft.com.pk were also defaced this morning. On checking the name servers with nslookup, the DNS servers were pointing towards another website, It was clear that the hacker compromised the DNS server and changed the DNS servers to their own, where they had their defacement page. The above image appeared on major .pk domains, when users were trying to access them.

Some time later the page started pointing towards google.com instead of google.com.pk, However the name servers of all .pk domains are still pointing towards freehostia.

How was Google Pakistan Hacked?

So as i mentioned earlier that it looks to me that the registrar that was responsible for Google's DNS records may have been compromised and the records were changed, so when users went to google.com.pk they were redirected to different website which was setup by Turkish hacker to make it look that google.com.pk has been actually compromised. 

By a quick whois search i came to know that the registrar that is responsible to PKNIC domains is MarkMonitor, The is a huge chance that the turkish hackers may have gained access to MarkMonitor and then would have changed the DNS servers. Another possibility is that the hackers may have used an attack called "DNS Cache Poisoning" in order to change the DNS servers. I will update this page as soon as i have more updates regarding this attack.


Update: Here is the Full List Of Compromised Domains:

google.com.pk
microsoft.pk

How To Change Your MAC Address

The following guide will show you how to correctly change your Network Card’s MAC Address using the Windows Registry. Below are several different methods to accomplishing this and I am sure that one will work for you. These methods can be used in both Windows Vista and Windows 7; I have not yet tested them in the Windows 8 environment.

Method One:

1. Access your network connection properties and select the configure option.

 

2. Select the Advanced Tab and then select Network Address. From here you need change the Value to custom and enter your desired MAC Address. Remember that this can only be twelve numbers in length.

 

3. Check to see if your MAC has changed using the “ipconfig /all” command in Command Prompt. If your MAC Address is still the same as your original please move to the next method.

Method Two:

1. Open your terminals Registry Editor by typing “regedit” into your start menus search box and pressing enter.

 

2. Once Registry Editor has opened navigate through the following path:

CODE :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3. After you have navigated to this location you will need to create a new entry in the folder so that you can store the information for the new / fake MAC Address. To do this right click anywhere in the right-hand pane and select “New” > “String Value”

4. Rename this new entry to “NetworkAddress” and modify the details of this entry to the desired result. To edit the details simply right click the entry and select “modify”. Remember to ensure that the value is exactly 12 digits long, the length of a MAC Address.

5. Restart your network adapter and then view your MAC Address using an ipconfig /all command in command prompt. If your MAC Address is still the same as your original please move to the next method.

 

Method Three:

1. Step three is the last resort method but is also probably the quickest. Simply download and install Technitium MAC Address Changer from the below link:

CODE :

http://www.technitium.com/tmac/index.html#download

2. After installation you need to run the application and edit in your desired MAC Address in the “Change MAC Address” field and press the “Change Now” button. You will see an example of this in the screenshot below.

3. After you have done this a message box will appear informing you that your MAC Address has been successfully changed. To be sure of this simply use the checks outlined in Method 1 point three.

4 Ways to Identify Safe Websites On the Internet

On the whole Internet, there are approximately more than 150 million active websites up and running. As a result, it often becomes a real challenge for the users to identify safe websites that are trustworthy and reputed. Have you ever wondered to know the reputation of a website before placing the order? Need to know whether a given website is child safe? Well, here are some of the ways to identify safe websites on the Web.

1. WOT or Web Of Trust (www.mywot.com):

WOT is a great place to test the reputation of your favorite website. WOT gives real-time ratings for every website based on the feedback that it gets from millions of trustworthy users across the globe and trusted sources, such as phishing and malware blacklists. Each domain name is evaluated based on this data and ratings are applied to them accordingly.

• Trustworthiness signifies the overall safety of the website. A poor rating may indicate that the site is associated with threats like Internet scams, phishing, identity theft risks and malware. For more information on phishing,
• Vendor reliability tells you whether a given site is safe for carrying out buy and sell transactions with it. An excellent rating indicates superior customer satisfaction while a poor rating indicates possible scam or bad shopping experience.
• Privacy indicates about “to what extent the site respects the privacy of it’s users and protects their personal identity and data”.
• Child Safety indicates whether the content of a given site is appropriate for children. Site contents like sexual material, nudity and vulgarity will have a poor Child Safety rating.

In most cases, the WOT ratings are found to be highly accurate. To check the reputation of any given website, just visit www.mywot.com type-in the address of your favorite website and click on “Check now”. This tool alone can tell you a lot about the reputation and safety level of a website. However, in addition to this, I am giving you another 3 handy tools to identify safe websites on the Web.

2. McCafee SiteAdvisor:

McCafee SiteAdvisor is a free tool that is available as a browser add-on. It adds safety ratings to your browser and search engine results. You can download it from www.siteadvisor.com.

3. StopBadware:

Using this tool, you can check whether a given site is said to have involved in malware activity in the past. To check this, go to SB Website Clearinghouse and enter the URL or domain name of a website and click on “Search Clearinghouse ”. If the search does not return any result, that means the site was never involved in any of the malware activity in the past.

4. Google Pagerank:

Google PageRank is another great tool to check the reputation and popularity of a website. The PageRank tool rates every web page on a scale of 1 to 10 which indicates Google’s view of importance of the page. If a given website has a PageRank of less than 3, then it is said to be less popular among the other sites on the Internet.

However, PageRank will only tell you how much popular a given website is and has nothing to do with the safety level of a website. So, this tool alone cannot be used to evaluate a website’s safety and other factors.

PageRank feature is available as a part of Google Toolbar. You can download the Google Toolbar and install it to avail this feature.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 13.0.0.3082 Including Activation Free Download Full Version

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 13.0.0.3082 Including Activation | 159 MB

Internet security solutions usually bear a richer plethora of layers of protection than traditional antivirus software, by attaching antispam, antispyware, privacy protection and parental control modules to the regular antivirus engine.This kind of computer protection guarantees a click-happy experience, away from threats that may arise from the Internet, email attachments, USB drives, corrupted files or unsecured wireless connections.

Kaspersky Internet Security doesn t fall short of these features, boasting all the capabilities you need to stay on the safe side all the time. While delivering state of the art protection from viruses and Trojans, the suite also encases protection technologies against online threats and phishing attacks, shielding your identity from malicious websites. Its cloud-based engine allows it to gather information on the latest threats, thus making sure that your computer is equipped with the appropriate defense against cyber malware.

The installation process takes a while and in order to be able to run the application properly, a restart may be required in some cases. The first encounter with the application s interface is pleasant, it has a clean look and an organized control panel that can be located in the lower area of the GUI. This is actually the section that incorporates all the protection modules, namely: a Scanning component, Parental Control, Safe Run for applications, Safe Run for Websites, Network Monitor, Applications Activity and Quarantine.

The suite can run four different scan types: a Full Scan (thoroughly analyzes all the files on all of the disks), a Critical Areas Scan (analyzes objects that are loaded at system startup or added by user), a Vulnerability Scan (detects and removes security vulnerabilities) and a Custom Scan mode that allows you to manually select the locations to be analyzed. The scanning speed is decent and a successful scanning process returns a detailed report on the threats that have been encountered, together with the recommended actions.

The Parental Control feature enables you to manage the amount of time your children spend on the computer and to control their communication habits when using Instant Messaging applications via a set of predefined rules.

With the aid of the Safe Run modules, you may launch applications or websites in a virtual and insolated environment. The firewall includes VPN and Wi-Fi connections protection plus an intrusion prevention system against hacker attacks.

The Tools section includes a Rescue Disk feature (allows you to create a bootable CD that contains tools for detecting malware), a Privacy Cleaner (removes browser history, cache and logs), a Windows troubleshooting component (detects damaged settings caused by malware) and a Browser Configuration feature (analyzes Internet Explorer settings from security viewpoint) .
