[Q] dpi help - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
i changed my dpi on the xperia play and its looking actually really good, well kind of..
some apps look really weird like the xperia home or the ported walkman.
and because of that im looking for a method, that allows you that some apps think that i have another dpi (like on paranoid android)
would be very happy if there were a solution
Thanks

IMO only PA has this feature.

Yeah i know, but it had not the performance i expected.

hey i found a interesting article of a paranoid android dev,
he explains how to make it work
he says we need a file called DisplayMetrics.java but i couldnt find it
here the link: rootzwiki.com/topic/23112-request-per-app-dpi-setting-to-once-and-for-all-solve-tablet-mode/

could someone help me plz? ??

[Q] Android - Desire HD Transition effects

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get the transition effects that this guy is running on his Desire HD?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skKU-uI7NXA
You can see a good example at 17s into the video. It looks like the menu transition effects have been changed to fly in and also exiting and opening apps seems to have a transition effect. I've searched the web (google), searched XDA and searched youtube but nothing seems to explain it. I notice a few people have asked him on his video but he has not replied to them ...anyway, I think they look cool - if anyone has any idea how to implement these transition, please let me know Thanks in advance...
There are some effects addon packages on the miui-au site here http://www.miui-au.com/miui_au-1-1-26-r1/ don't know of they work on our devices, and they most probably won't work on anything other then a miui rom i think.
you can modify you framwork-res.apk locatet in /system/framework
with online kitchen
they got some custom transitions but i cant say if that are the same as the ones you are looking for since the yt link "doesn´t work in my country" :/

Cheers - it might be this MIUI Rom...I was hoping to avoid Rooting the device but will investigate further...
i wanted to get these effects too
They're built-in to LeeDroid ROM since 1.5.0 - maybe ask him!

Hi,
Thanks for the offer. I need to root first (it seems) and i'm wondering if it is worth doing just to get these animations? I used to have a HardSPL'd HD2 but am new to android and will need to teach myself about the risks / trade off of Rooting...
So - im currently doing my homework...

no trouble, risks are minimal in rooting, it was a big deal a couple of years ago but now devs have created tools that make it easy, only hard part is making a goldcard and downgrading (if nesssesary), flashing s-off can be risky if somthing happens during the flash, but thats about it anyway good luck

[REQ] MultiDPI Phone dialer

Hey guys, Attempted to modify the stock DPI last night and noticed the phone dialer like in all Samsung based roms becomes warped..
I was hoping someone with the skillset could make a modified version of the dialer so its multiDPI compatible.. Would love to use a slightly lower DPI for more screen real estate.
Its tempting to move over to CM9/AOKP but I cant pull myself away from TouchWiz at the moment.
Cheers guys, look forward to your responses.
You could use a modified touchwiz launcher to increase the room that way. Otherwise you could use a different dialer from the marketplace...

Both valid work arounds, although not a solution.. default dialer is the best in my opinion.
Looking for stock mdpi dialer.. This stock dialer is too good to omit . Searching for a good guide, couldn't find one.

Great, if you find one please do share.
I remember seeing a guide on how to convert the dialer to mdpi on some other model phone in the past, the methodologies could be applied just the same.. although it was quite outdated.
When I get a chance ill see if I can find it, ill post a link on here may help someone with a little more skillset then myself.
+1
Would love to see a 240 dpi touchwiz phone dialler for the S3
Please let me know if you guys find one that works =)
There was manual on this forum how to make a multi dpi dialer, but a cant find yet. when i find, give link to this thread.

I couldnt find the info i saw before (me being stupid im guessing?) but someone posted about installing apps that allow 3rd part live wallpapers to run smoothly.
If anyone would care to help me i would be so greatful!
Thanks in advance- J
In case you didn't know, the new base 2.17 fixes livewallpaper and it is now running very smoothly, no lags or shutters at all

there are a lot of things you can turn off (for example with pimp my rom if you don't wanna search for scripts). most of the turn-off varification-things make things worse from my experience. force closes are probably coming up.
when it comes to GB there is not much needed to make everything run fine. debloating should be enough.
Don't do this while running in system, just pop it in ur build.prop and the 2nd dalvik parameter is not gaining full performance, go download on of my newer GB Roms like xelite, open build.prop and copy that dalvik parameter...

[Q] Hybrid properties

Hi guys , first of all I'd just like you thank you for PA as it is It's great I really appreciate your work , keep it up.
To my question, I'd like to know if the all famous hybrid properties are planned to be on the new paranoid android rom. If yes, are there any approximations when ? It's a feature that i am missing the most. Also, is there any other way to change the dpi of the phone ? (I tried build.prop, it doesn really work), cause after using 3.99 for a loong time in phablet mode , everything seems really big right now.
Thanks.
stated many many many times in many different places....
YES. Hybrid is in the works.
If you want to change dpi, you can use Build Prop Editor from play store. It works just fine.
And there is no tablet mode at all, right? Sorry for asking, but I'm new to this and just installed the latest paranoid android build for Xperia Z Ultra with full gapps, and thought that this was the central feature of this rom.

Full tablet ui code was pulled by Google. Nothing we can do about that. Hybrid will give you the ability to change DPI per app though.

You can also use the Xposed module App Settings to control display/UI settings on a per app basis. It's interface is a little clunkyI but it has most of the functionality of the old hybrid settings (except color).
