i'm a beginner to android
I'm developing an app that will call another apk internally(apk2)
hence apk2 will be installed on the device..
But i dont want apk2 to be visible to user in list of apks(my files/file browser).
Hi is there a way to change the font in our S3 without root?
This app will allow you to install several fonts:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hongik.fontomizerSP
then you go in Settings -> Display -> Font and from there you can change the fonts.
Some launchers (such as Go Launcher Ex) also allow for changing fonts.
Edit: you don't need root for the above to work.
How Themer works without Root permissions? I mean, don't you have to change the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk ?
You don't need root permissions to make Themer work.

I think its just a launcher

As mentioned above, no root access/permissions is required
works well
thanks... I know it doesn't require permissions, but my question is how it can replace things without root permissions?
can it also change the Status Bar icons?

You can't do these without root permissions. Yes, you can mod the system ui with a computer, but you need root permissions to replace your current one.

Everyone somehow seems to be missing the point here...
Yes, of course Themer works without Root. But How?
See, Themer is a launcher. Android doesn't force you to use it's native launcher, such as TouchWiz, HTC Sense, or whatever your phone has as default.
You are allowed to download and use custom launcher applications.
This is one such custom launcher.
Since Themer is it's own app, it can change everything about itself. (Such as the icons, images, widgets, fonts, and everything else.)
What it cannot do, is theme other apps or change your status bar. (Those DO require edits in Framework and SystemUI, and would require flashing and root.)
So Themer doesn't require Root because it doesn't NEED it.
TL;DR: Themer is a custom launcher that changes its own settings, and therefore does not need root.
I'm wanting to change the font on most of the system things for the ROM to a different size, and I'm also wanting to change it to Roboto Condensed. Is there a way I could modify the folders of the ROM to do this? I've tried the apps on the Play Store, but they don't work.
I struggled a bit to find Font management which is built-in feature of Themes app as I could access it through a notification that popped-up after downloading several fonts.
You can download and apply font by searching "Font" but to manage them you need to access the hidden activity.
How To :
1- Install Activity Launcher from play store (de.szalkowski.activitylauncher)
2- Launch the FontSettingsActivity within Themes app
3- from there you can delete/apply downloaded fonts
You can also access it if you change region to something like India
