Here is the latest and easier tutorial on custom fonts for Samsung One UI 3, 2, 1 with Android 11, 10, 9 Pie or earlier.

Samsungโ€™s One UI software comes packed with tons of features and customization options that an average user doesnโ€™t even know about. While some features come as part of the firmware, others are optional and can be install using additional tools like Good Lock for advanced customization, Galaxy Theme store to change the look of the software. Users also had option to change the fonts on Samsung smartphones as well; some officially others via exploit. This also holds true for installing Google Sans font from Pixel 5 onto Samsung Galaxy phones.

However, the software soon got patched for these exploits in order to promote the OEMs โ€˜s propriety font called Samsung Sans. Nevertheless, here is a new way to download and install Google Sans fonts on any Samsung Galaxy device running stock OneUI 2.0+ firmware based on Android 10 or later.

      Can you skip past this step and carry on with the next steps? The next steps will remove this font anyway. Also, some users are getting success on One UI 3.0 but some are not.
