Hello, guys.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570.
And I've rooted it just a while ago and decided to use root only app to change the font.
I changed the font, but it was a bit too big.
I'm stuck at the pattern screen because I can't unlock it, everything's too big.
I've read something about installing an app that resets the pattern, but it costs

Rom Toolbox is a beast! Same thing happened to me, except my sim was locked after reboot and the key pad was 2X what it should've been. Factory reset is what I had to do, after using another phone to remove the unlock pin from sim.
 
Hi Ozzeh, and welcome to AF,

Can you tell us which font-changing app? If we know how it works we may be able to come up with a fix. Of course as long as it only makes changes in the /data area then a factory reset will undo it, but if it writes to /system (as at least some do) then that may not be enough. In that case reflashing the ROM (if you have a custom ROM installed) should do the trick.

I don't suppose you have a recent nandroid backup? If you have, then restoring that will sort this out. I would always advise taking one before modifying the system in any way (including "minor" cosmetic mods).
