How to Install/Apply Fonts for Galaxy Note 8
Method 1: Without Substartum/Andromeda
- Download and install SamsungSans Font from Galaxy Apps: Download. It is a must to have this installed before proceeding. Without this font installed, the following steps will not work.
- Download and install any of this APK File: Wings XDA 968 Fonts – OREO.apk [You need to enable Unknown Sources option if you are prompted to, to install this APK file]
- Install ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
- On your Samsung device, go to Settings > About Phone > Software information. Tap on the Build number continuously until you a toast message saying Developer options have been enabled.
- Go to Settings > Developer options. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
- Reboot your Galaxy S9 and PC.
- Go to the folder where ADB and Fastboot are installed on your PC. Open a command prompt from inside the folder. To do this: Hold down Shift + Right Click > Select ‘Open command window here’ or ‘Open PowerShell window here’.
- Connect your Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ to your PC.
- On your computer, execute the following command on your command prompt:
adb devices
If this is your first time connecting your device to your PC with USB Debugging enabled, you will be prompted with ‘Allow USB Debugging?’. Tap on ‘Always allow from this computer’ and tap on OK.
- Next, execute the following command on your command prompt:
adb shell
Once you hit the Enter key, you will get the codename for your device (for example ‘star2lte’ is the codename for the Galaxy S9+. You will get a similar one for Note 8.).
- Next, execute the below command in command prompt:
cmd overlay enable com.monotype.android.font.samsungsans.WingsSamsungFonts.XDA968FontsbyWinb33
Please note that you may not need to pass all the above commands to your phone, simply pass the commands that are only required for the APK you install.

Method 2: With Substratum and Andromeda

Hello.
Sorry for asking. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/34e1019746c1cde8611bba08f99e1002c33dfdcab8882acd934a070a14ec9364.jpg

What phone are you trying this on? Also let me know the model number please.
I’m using Samsung Galaxy Note 8. My model number is SM-N950F/DS.
How come in ur screenshots all the fonts seem to be added to the device twice? If I download ur apk will my device show every font style twice in the list, giving me 3000 font titles to scroll thru, rather than just 1500 font listings?
When you use the APK method, yes. The fonts will be shown twice. This is a known error. Sorry about that. But if you use the substratum method, the fonts will be shown only once.
Im Using Samsing 8 Plus when i change the Font it Says Cant Use this Its Not Cometible And giving Option For delete Fonts
Every font will be displayed twice. If the first throws error, try applying the second. Should work just fine 😉
It says font is not supported why oh why???
Which phone are you using? I literally just tried it on my Note 8. Works like a charm. Which method did you try? The APK method or the Substratum method?
I downloaded the fonts previously but since the update they no longer work. I 2ent to re-download but I didn’t see the wings Samsung 968 fonts. Does it not work anymore for the 8+?
Font only applies to settings screen.
Not on other places like browser etc.

Hey Srivishnu!
any idea when you may have some updated steps? I updated to Oreo a couple of weeks ago and I’m missing being able to change my font!
-(im)patiently waiting! 😀
🙁 Can’t get this to work on Oreo. The normal fonts are BORING! Any update on how to get custom fonts, would be great!
Thanks for the effort… but it does not work. Always the same old message: Font not supported…
I have a Samsung Note 8 (SM-N950F) with Current version: N950FXXU3CRC1//N950FXXU3CRB9
Does not work on oreo at all. Using the apk. Bummed!
Since updated my note 8 I can no longer change my fonts. Can someone please help me?
I was successfully installed the 968 apk & also got 1500 font styles but they are not at all supporting. I’m using samsung Note8 with Oreo os. Reply me a good solution for it
Thank you
Thanks a lot. Worked out after several attempts.
I downloaded the app in mobile now m confused fonts r not working they r telling to contact customer provider how to apply plz let me know
Did you follow all the steps? The steps are now a bit complex, but, if followed properly should work flawlessly.
I have tried both methods and it does not work. It keeps saying this font is not supported. Contact the font provider. I have a Note 8 on Oreo.
Worked for me! Accidently did it twice though lol.
Hi I tried the first method, when I type in adb devices with my note 8 connected, it doesn’t recognize adb command. I have followed the instructions though didn’t get the prompting of my windows to allow opening my phone in debugging. Please help.
Also is there a way to uninstall the fonts if I want to not do this? I have a huge list of fonts right now but none are available.
ADB issue can be solved by installing the official Samsung USB Drivers. To get rid of the fonts, simply uninstall the APK files which installed them.
Is there a way to keep the fonts on the phone so I dont have to reinstall everything after I reboot the phone or change a theme?
When I click on the direct download link of the apk, it redirects me to the previous website. I can’t download the apk. Could you please post an apk link that works?
Thanks for this method, now i can use custom fonts again. Im using samsung galaxy note8 oreo version.
