Hello all, I've been searching high and low for how to change the font size in Arcsoft MMS. I recently flashed to 6.5 Build 21501 with PPC Kitchen and I can't find a way to adjust the size of the fonts when composing a message. I've changed everything I can find in nueFont to no avail. I've tried Arcsoft MMS v3 and v5 and I can't seem to change it in either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Dustin
Here is a screenshot using Arcsoft 5.
Hmm...that screen doesn't show up on mine. I'm running the VZW version of Arcsoft MMS v5.0.70.24. What version do you have?
That screen only shows up in an MMS message in the text box.... Not sure where to change the SMS text size... probably in the registry......
azclown, thanks for the guidance. I did find that menu, but you're right, it doesn't change the SMS font size. Its only for MMS.
I checked the registry but didnt find anything particularly telling. I'm not quite skilled enough with PPC reg editing to go changing settings.
The thing thats frustrating is I know it was smaller in WM6.1. In fact, it might have even been editable by nueFont. Its not in WM6.5.
That's part of my MMS option while using Arcsoft ver 5.0.71.33 made for Alltel.
But I'm a little confused. Are you trying to change the font size in an MMS or SMS?

The SMS font size. I used to be able to read three or four messages at a time in the threaded mode, now I can barely fit one on screen because the font size is so huge.

Ah, ok. Easy solution. Go into a mail message (not MMS/SMS). Go to the Menu button (right soft key) -> View -> Text Size -> and choose an option. That should adjust for all of your messages (mail, MMS, etc). I'm not sure why the menu doesn't appear in the MMS messages, though. Hope that helps.
Heh, I wish it was that easy. I actually don't have that option. Lemme see if I can get an updated version and see if that works.
The only version I could find for VZW was the one that had been stripped out of the Treo 800w, but most things I read said it didn't work very well. Not sure I want to risk messing up my services just to decrease the font size. There's got to be some reg setting that'll fix this. Help me XDA!
dup post, sorry
Start/Settings/System/Screen tab at bottom for text size. It's pretty global in wm6.5 but works on sms,mms,email, and ie.

hi, first time android phone user was just wondering if this phone has the ability to change the font size for the txt being writen in the sms box (above the keyboard) my eysight is not too good and need reading glasses when im writing sms, but if the fonts are bigger i dont need to put them on as i dont carry the glasses with me when im out.
i have found a way to make the sent and recieved sms's bigger by using go sms app but that does not make the text bigger until the txt has been sent. (well not that i know of)
my gf iphone a old 3g one does that in settings where u can pick a font and make them heaps big or small and it would change the size of all including while you where typing it.
i got this phone thinking this would do it coming from a old samsung omnia wm6.1 where the writing box was tiny and useless.
Use Chomp sms. typing box follows sent message text size.

On my Galaxy S, I used FONTSIZE, fonts that is increased in the entire Galaxy. Very good, but you must have a Root.

Edit:
On Galaxy S2 work perfect.
Hello,
As my sister is visually impaired, i was searching for magnification tools on an android device.
Her problem is that when she writes a text, she can't see what she's typing because it's too small.
Actually, a fully magnified android interface would be great, but I don't know if it exists...
She has no device yet, because we don't want to spend money for a one she can't use.
So if you know a device that integrates such features, or some usefull apps for visually impaired people... (She don't want screen readers, also).
And well, if an iPhone or a Windows Phone is better, you can say it
Thanks,
Fabien
ps : sorry for my english, i'm french
You could just get a large android device (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Note).
Well, i have a HTC Sensation, and it's not better, because the font size is adapted to the large resolution...
As someone who is in the same shoes, I highly recommend Handcent SMS. Completely adjustable font sizes on every single thing. I love it. No more eye strain or anything.
Handcent SMS is definitely a good option as you can easily customize the text size.
If you root the phone (not for everyone) you can adjust the DPI that will affect every app on the phone. You can see the effects in some of the images here: bit.ly/vfhzHn
So, i've searched a little on the market, and here is what i've found :
- Launcher 7 (for big icons on the launcher, and for its simplicity)
- Handcent SMS (all font magnified)
- DW Contacts (in order to magnify the list of contacts and the dialer)
All this apps helped a lot for my sister, but if you see how I can improve...
Thanks !

^Else if you have a device which has CyanogenMod7 in it, then you may simply use Spare Parts to increase the overall font size.
I guess it is also available in the market for other ROM's as well, not sure about that!

It is available: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts&feature=search_result. Another usable app is LCD Density Changer: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer&hl=en.
this is my solution
I made a app these days and now i published it on market
it is called ScreenZooM. Search for it (icon is a magnifier with a big green +)
i will atach a qrcode image
i can't post links
If you find some fonts in apps too small, and changing system font size doesn't make any difference you might find an on-screen magnifier useful. Google TalkBack v3.0.8 r47 Beta for a version of Talkback that provides an on screen magnifier that enlarges the screen to make small fonts readable. It also enlarges icons, pictures etc. Install it, then in Settings, Accessibility you'll find there is the option to turn on the on-screen magnifier.
I find it v useful. One minor drawback, with the magnifier on, and even with Talkback off you get a voice readout of any button presses in camera...turning off the magnifier stops that.
That app is made for old and disabled people.
I am sure everyone except u is able to read properly
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
Oh yeah?
Let me know if you can read the ship names in the main screen of Marine Traffic Manager then.....
im with you... Consistency of font size would've been better. Messaging even at smallest font settings is still bigger than lets say; the text when you log on facebook...
Using the Samsung Messages app on my Verizon S9+, I am unable to permanently change the font size in the actual conversation screen. Yes, you can pinch to shrink and expand font size but that gets reset to standard size every time (unlike on the S7 Edge where it remembered your size preference).
Through Settings, you can globally adjust font size but the only Messages screen this affects is the main Conversation screen which shows all conversations. Once you click on a conversation, normal font size is presented. Frustrating for my old eyes...
UPDATE: Ironically, when you adjust Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen above the sliders, it shows you a sample Messages screen and the font size does change in the sample, but it does NOT change in the actual Messages app. Sounds like a bug to me as they are depicting what I want to do, just doesn't work.
I'd like to use the stock app as it has some features that are unique. There must be a way to change the font size so the setting is persistent, no?
Seeing the same also. Hard for my aging eyes to see.
And also finding it doesn't follow the global setting for size. Same as you.
Same issue. I don't think you can change the font size just for the Message app.
I when back to my beloved and trusted Textra SMS app.
It changes when you change the font size in display settings font.

As I mentioned in my post, this is not true. On my phone, changing the font size in display setting ONLY affects font size in the main Conversations view. Once you click on an actual conversation, the font size returns to the default tiny size.
You can get a newer version on apkmirror.com but it wont allow updating samsung apps for some reson. Anyone have the latest version of messages signed by samsung that will install?
They need ro bring back the S8 messaging app which has this inbuilt feature to adjust text. Wonder, why they ripped off that useful feature.

It doesnt stick.
I updated my original post with this tidbit:

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge this bug and release a new version of the app. Clearly the global Font Size Setting is supposed to do exactly this.
Same thing. Very frustrating

It's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half second. Sure, it'd be nice if it would stick but, c'mon man.
I had a problem with the Background colors in the Messaging ap - some of the themes I like to use are really awesome but when I get to the messaging ap, they used yellow fonts on a white background - nearly impossible to read. I either have to use a different messaging ap entirely (Mood is a pretty good one I found that has TONS of customization options) or just guess at what was written - or change themes.
It's dissapointing that I can't change the balloons or fonts in the messaging ap any more - would be nice if we could - and change font size too - so for now, I am using the MOOD messaging ap and while I prefer the Samsung Stock one better - Mood isn't bad at all.
Its not only internal Messages app, Viber and Hangouts has really small font in input line. Tried increasing font size, tried toying with DPI settings. No idea why its like that and only affecting text input lines, but hope some later update could fix that?
Hi Everyone..I just got the 9 plus and the messaging app is different than it used to be. It is just blue bubbles with white background. It wont let me change anything like before and the setting the background wallpaper for messages is no longer there....is that how everyone else's is?
I also switched to Textra for the all of the customization that it offers. It's a free download so I gave it a try and I've stuck with it since. Just my 2ยข

No, not "come on man". It should work as designed, and has worked since GSI-II.
I use Chomp. Let's you change all of the fonts and sizes, including the message notification pop-up.

I think you mean, "It should work the way I want it to work." It IS working as designed. It's just that you don't like the new design.
That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if we could choose a persistent font size. I do.
But we're talking about a split-second pinch out to increase the size.
A split-second.
So, yeah... C'mon.

Thousands of people having to take a split-second to adjust for a design bug every single time? No. You're missing the point.
