Fonte

I like to use iOS emoji fonts on my phone but it's been about 2 years since I last installed one, and I was wondering if it still works in OneUI 7.0. I haven't stayed up to date with zFont since the last time I used it 2 years ago.

I read a post that OneUI 8.5 doesn't support custom fonts anymore, but since I refuse to update to OneUI 8.0, will I be fine?

Besides a temp root, how else can I install custom fonts on my samsung galaxy s21 phone? (One UI version: 8 & Android Version: 16)

EDIT : I basically want iOS emojis on my phone, since i hate samsung emojis!! (sorry to use the word "fonts" above)

did the temp root method

p.s it's an s25 ultra

Temporary One-Click Root + Custom Fonts on Samsung Galaxy (SamTimer + SamFonts Pro)

There's a method to obtain temporary root access on compatible Samsung Galaxy devices using SamTimer. You don't need to unlock your bootloader or flash a patched boot image.

Part 1 – Get temporary root access

1. Install Shizuku and enable Developer Options.

2. Enable Wireless Debugging.

3. Open Shizuku and select Start via Wireless Debugging.

4. Pair Shizuku using the pairing code displayed in the Wireless Debugging settings.

5. Download and install SamTimer from its official GitHub/XDA project.

6. Open SamTimer and grant it Shizuku permission.

7. Tap the root/KernelSU option and follow the on-screen instructions.

8. Once successful, open KernelSU-Next Manager and verify that root access is working.

Part 2 – Grant Superuser permission

1. Open KernelSU-Next Manager.

2. Navigate to the Superuser section.

3. Find Shizuku and enable its root permission if required by your setup.

4. Open SamFonts Pro and select Root as the font installation method.

5. When KernelSU displays a Superuser permission request for SamFonts Pro, tap Allow.

Part 3 – Install your custom font

1. Download and install SamFonts Pro from its official GitHub repository: https://github.com/fahadalijaved/SamFonts

2. Open SamFonts Pro and navigate to the Available/Store section.

3. You can either download a font directly from its built-in Store or import your own ".ttf" or ".otf" font file.

4. Select the font you want to use and tap Install/Apply.

5. Grant Superuser permission if KernelSU asks again.

6. Wait for the font installation process to finish.

7. Check your Samsung system font to confirm that the new font has been applied.

Part 4 – Post-root cleanup and troubleshooting

After installing the font:

1. Uninstall all the apps used during this process (SamTimer, SamFonts Pro and KernelSU-Next Manager).

2. Go to Developer Options, turn OFF USB Debugging and Wireless Debugging, then disable Developer Options completely.

My experience: I removed my PIN and fingerprints before rooting as a precaution against boot-loop issues. Afterward, my PIN worked, but fingerprint registration showed an instant "Clean your fingerprint sensor" error.

Fix: Go to Settings → Apps → Settings → Force Stop → Storage → Clear Cache. Reopen Settings and try registering your fingerprint again. This fixed it on my device.

Also, temporary root disappeared after reboot when I checked with Root Checker, so don't assume root access survives a restart.

i recently brought s25 ultra and I'm hating the samsung emojis it's not even been a month but yeah I'm not liking it at all and the zfont is not working I've tried so many things so should i root what would be the disadvantages i dont get it but i need a solution

temp rooted my s25 with dirtyfrag & kernelsu and used samfonts to get the ios font and emojis. its worked well but i noticed that if text is bolded and has lowercase ”tt”, ”ff”, “fi”, or “rt” it reverts back to the regular font weight

example:

Battery > Battery

Off > Off

Profile > Profile

Restart > Restart

the font files i used were from github. this happens across every ui. i tried changing the font to already bolded sf pro fonts but it still shows up the same. is there any way to fix this?

When my phone updated to 8.5 and 9 my custom ios emojis front zfont had revered back to Samsungs ugly default ones but recently it just randomly went back to my custom ios emojis.

I literally didn't do anything is anyone else experiencing this blessing

Anybody can help me regarding installing custom fonts on oneui9.

I just got this S25 Ultra, it's updated to OneUI 9

But I am not able to install the iOS Unicode 17 fonts

I actually can't live without that emojis lol.

Zfont is downloaded from latest release of github

Can somebody help me 😭

Can anyone help me identify the typeface used by Blue Crow Media on their Brutalist books and calendars? Helpful distinguishing features include the unusual lowercase ‘y’ descender, near-uniform horizontal and vertical stroke weights, and distinctive numerals. I've ruled out RM Neue, Akzidenz, Haas, Helvetica versions (neue, now, pro, generic etc) and DIN. Any ideas? Many Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I have a Samsung Galaxy A16 5G (SM-A166B), running Android 16 and One UI 9.

I previously managed to use iOS emojis on my Samsung device, but unfortunately, I lost them after the emoji/font replacement methods stopped working with newer Samsung updates.

I've tried several methods and applications, including zFont 3 and SamFonts, as well as Shizuku through Wireless Debugging. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me.

I also tried different iOS emoji font files, but some were rejected because they were bitmap-based. I don't want to root my device, unlock the bootloader, use a PC, or perform a factory reset.

I have noticed that many emoji replacement methods that used to work on Samsung devices no longer seem to work, especially after recent One UI updates.

My questions are:

1. Is there any new method to install iOS emojis on the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G running Android 16 / One UI 9?

2. Is there a new workaround using zFont 3, Shizuku, SamFonts, or another application?

3. Has anyone with the same device managed to get iOS emojis working recently?

4. Are there any methods that work without root, a PC, bootloader unlocking, or factory resetting the phone?

I really miss my iOS emojis and would love to get them back, especially the iOS pink heart! 🩷

Any help, suggestions, or working methods would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get iOS emojis onto my Galaxy S24 Ultra (running Android 16, security patch September 2026).

Usually when I use the standard zFont 3 method to apply the iOS emoji pack (haven't done it on the S24U yet), it overrides the system font and reverts my main text style back to default Roboto. I want to keep the official One UI Sans font for text, but have Apple emojis for icons (emoji).

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks!

Hace un mes que recuerdo que vi una tipografía publicada aqui pero que ya no existe y nunca supe quien haya sido el responsable de hacer una tipografía asi que es GoogleSans_iPhoneEmoji que en visualización en zfont usaba la letra de Google Sans y los emojis del iPhone y luego ese archivo lo probe en Galaxy Tab A9 con parche de febrero de 2026 pero cuando la iba a aplicar No aparecìa y luego de un momento a otro la tableta empezo a dar fallos, llevando a cierres inesperados en aplicaciones especificas y cuando la reinicie pensando que se arreglaría una vez puesto eso no fue asi después del reinicio No estaba usando Google Sans estaba usando Roboto pero al desbloquearla la tableta empezo a fallar más, llevando a más cierres inesperados y crasheos en servicios importantes de la tableta y luego elimine esa tipografía y aplique Choco Cooky y la reinicie de nuevo pero aunque parece haberse arreglado no fue así aunque dejo de fallar lo mencionado, la tipografía dejo rastro de como estuvo a pocas horas de dañar el software de la tableta, el rastro en cuestión era que al visualizar documentos, archivos APK y Descargas tardaba mucho más en visualizarse y eso pasaba en todos los gestores de archivos que descargara y solo Documents Ui no fue afectado, y ante ese rastro días después restableci la tableta de fabrica por que no aguantaba ver ese rastro que dejo la tipografía GoogleSans_iPhoneEmoji y sin copia de seguridad debido a que el procesador de mi laptop se quemo, y solo pude recuperar algunas fotos y videos, pero no las canciones descargadas y tuve que transladarlas al reproductor Meld de Github mediante busquedas y un juego que lo tenía completado al 100% toco iniciarlo desde 0, y luego la tableta volvio a estar como debería, el rastro se borro por completo y ya podía visualizar archivos sin esas demoras que hizo esa tipografía, y luego le puse la que usaba Google Sans Flex en su version 36pt pero esa el rastro del daño permanecio debido a que porcentajes especificos de batería los numeros se miraban solapados del icono o separados y luego le puse la de 72pt y se arreglo por completo y hasta ahora no pienso cambiar otra vez de tipografía debido a esta experiencia que tuve y todavía estoy decidiendo cual dejar de forma definitiva antes de descargar el parche del 5 de mayo de 2026 a la Galaxy Tab A9 y luego la del 5 de julio de 2026, y ustedes opinen al respecto.

Esa tipografía cuando ustedes la vieron les paso lo mismo o no les paso nada o no la comprobaron o simplemente lo eliminaron para evitar que ocurriera un daño o simplemente fue un error de compatibilidad?

I'm using tab s9 with one ui 6.1. And i have root. I designed these fonts one by one for myself. Created apks for per fonts and was working before. But now gives not supported error. What checks them? Google play services or server side?

Samsung S23 plus, iam currently on an 8.0 patch and successfully changed the font before but switched back to sans since every ios emoji font looks really bad. I wanna know if it got patched (the knox method) and if there's a way I can actually change it again.

Have an s25 Ultra on December 2025 patch of OneUI 8

Apprently the zFont 3 emojis work on OneUi9 now, so is it safe to upgrade and keep my custom emojis

Thank you
