What is EvilFont?

EvilFont is a systemless module for rooted Android devices that lets you change the default Arabic/Persian font and optionally install Apple-style emojis. It applies changes without modifying the /system partition so it aims to keep SafetyNet/Play Integrity intact.

Features of EvilFont

Interactive installer using volume keys to pick fonts and emoji versions.
Modular selection: install font only, emoji only, or both.
Curated Arabic/Persian fonts (multiple open-source choices).
Multiple emoji versions including support for iOS 18.4 and macOS 26 styles.
Apache‑2.0 licensed and uses Apple emoji assets under compatible terms.

Requirements

Root manager with Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch installed.
A compatible Android ROM (most AOSP and many custom skins supported).
Backup your data before making system changes (always recommended).

Download

Get the latest EvilFont‑v2.x.zip from the project Releases on GitHub (official repo). Use the Releases page on the repository to download the ZIP.

Install

Open your root manager app (Magisk or KernelSU).
Go to Modules and choose Install module from ZIP.

Troubleshoot

If emojis or fonts don’t appear: Reboot again; ensure module is enabled in your root manager.
SafetyNet/Play Integrity fails: Uninstall module and test; systemless approach reduces risk but does not guarantee passing.
Installer hangs: Re-download the ZIP from Releases and retry.

FAQs

Will this work without root?

No – it requires Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch.

Can I install only emojis?

Yes – the module supports installing only the emoji pack.

Is EvilFont the same as EvilFontTool?

No – EvilFontTool is a different project (font deception tool) on PyPI/GitHub; don’t confuse them.
