Decreasing DPI in 4.2.1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi all.
I'm blind as a bat, so I have to keep my phone at a DPI of over 350 (the default as you might know is 320).
I've been doing so without a problem with many ROMS and factory images in ICS up to 4.1.2 JB, but since I switched to 4.2.1 I haven't been sucesful. No matter if the ROM du jour has an option to switch DPI or if I change the value manually on the build.prop, my stuff remains the same size. So I'm wondering if the ro.sf.lcd_density string maybe got deprecated/changed in 4.2+? Has anyone been sucesfull in decreasing your Gnex DPIs with 4.2.1?

OK, so it *can* be done. Only I can't. Will keep trying.
thanks.

Strange. I have my build.prop edited and has worked fine across several roms.. I've never tried to increase it though, maybe that's it?

OK so I do need new glasses, and maybe I'm a moron but I can't make it work.
Check it out by yourselves: increase the number to anything above 320 and reboot and things will still look the same size.
You can decrease the number to make things smaller, but increasing it does nothing,

Little off topic : have you thought of laser eye operation in the eye ? A friend of mine was quite blind id say and since that he can see much better now when he drives I don't have to hold the door haha

I'm not a candidate for laser surgery. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik and reflashed gapps, but I'm still not compatible with lasik
I'll have to stay with 4.1.2 for a while. I'm just hoping this is temporary and will be corrected in the future, as opposed to a permanent change starting with 4.2.

Just boosted my DPI to 360 on sourcery 4.4 which is 4.2.1. There is a noticeable difference from 320.
Also have you tried playing with accessibility in settings?

On sourcery rom goto settings>sourcery tools then scroll right on that screen until you get to build prop editor option. Change to desired DPI reboot and enjoy

Hi thanks. The very first thing I do when flashing a new rom is to enable large text in accesibility, yes. My next step is clear then, I will flash sourcery. I haven't tried that one yet. I tested Xylon, Xenon and chainfire (??? sorry the name escapes me at the moment) and had to revert to 4.1, which in itself is a huge pain and waste of time.

160 dpi on ics 27?

I was running dark 1.01, which has 160dpi default and sort of got used to it.
I moved to 27, yet using LCD density app, it won't stick to 160 on reboot
Anyone know how to get it to stay at 160, while dark is getting updated?
Thanks

It will only stick if you use ROM Toolbox.
Or change it in the build prop.
thanks, that program did the trick

Can the DPI be changed on the fly or does it require a reboot. I'm on the same ROM as OP and love it for browsing but it also makes some apps funky so itd be sweet to be able to change on the fly.

i've used one called LCD Resolution and when it changed it, it didnt do a "full" reboot; but a quick "system restart" . thats how i update my market apps. it's a really quick restart too. just be sure to turn wifi off after it restarts and then back on. it doesnt stick for some reason.
edit: not too sure if it works on ics

Lcd density adjust on note 2 from 320 to 240

Has anyone done this? I just set my density nd it looks gorgeous. The Samsung keyboard started crashing Instantly. Not a huge deal I switched to SwiftKey tablet and everything is okay. However here and there galls seems to crash now. This is keeping talk from staying logged in which is a problem. Has anyone else attempted the same thing and seeing different results? As much as I love the added screen real estate (especially the split with the keyboard and aide ide visibility) its not a better tradeoff to losing talk. Unfortunately logcat reveals no direct insight into what is causing the crash only that the process is stopping. Any advice is welcome, as I'd like to keep the rest change.. I set both density values to 240.

headphone button hangup does not work
wifi tethering on stock kernel dont work (use kt's or a kernel that says wifi fixed)
Enabling "AirPlane" mode when Bluetooth is on and in-use causes it to forever be stuck in "Turning off Bluetooth..." status. Only a reboot will fix it.
when calling an 800 or automated number you cant dial a number at a prompt. For instance "Press 1 for english" doesn't work sometimes hapens when trying to answer gv with call screening every 1 in 10 or so

Bluetooth A2DP :
bluetooth voice dial does not work in cm10 or cm10.1. It opens but cannot "hear" any commands.
Disable voice dial in "manage apps", then install "Bluetooth launch" from the play store. After this, set it to launch activity "com.Google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesear chactivity" under the "Google search" application.
Now connect your Bluetooth device, press the button you would normally use to initiate voice dial, and tap "Bluetooth launch" when prompted, then tap always use.
have to use the voice command button twice, but it works like a charm!

Use "File Explorer" with root access, go into /system/build.prop - scroll down until you see lpa.decode=true and change it to false, save and close and reboot.
Seems to work for now, though I imagine any new nightlies will require doing this at least for a while until they fix it.

@haynesr07, did you do a complete wipe? several times even? Sometimes stuff can leak through from your last rom and mess with your settings in your new rom, try clearing everything a couple times (2 or 3 times per item) and flash again
Also if you restored any data, that might be it, I've seen weird problems when people do that...I don't think this issue is rom specific though or it wouldnt be stable enough to be released

This is the current build props i use. Leave out the Bootanimation one if you want to keep your boot animation. Do not edit buildprop if you have no experience. Look up the proper way to use them, Dreamlogix explainsto use rom toolbox above. Dont add all in. Check if value exists and change to the new value. If an entry is missing add it but dont assume its not there because double entries cause issues and if you mess up your build prop you might not boot. Have the rom file ready in case. One would need to dirty flash to get back to current install or a backup. If on a custom kernel after reinstalling rom, run kernel cleaner and reinstall kernel. Gapps will work on the dirty install without reinstalling them.
Use at your own risk i am not responsible for damages to ones phone. This is my build prop values i add or use not my actual build prop just the values and entries that i add or change.

I confirmed this morning that ktoon kernel (12/29) breaks audio (pandora, google music, 8tracks, etc) while stock kernel is fine on 1/1 nightly (clean flashed). On stock kernel, BT audio (google music) will play ok for 10-20 secs and then start fading in and out at a faster playback speed. You can reset this by making a phone call, but then you get another 10-20 secs of good audio before it starts up again. Someone should mention this on the dev thread at some point.
Also: if you're having problems with stock 1/1 nightly...do a clean flash. all my problems went away.

I am not using any network build props is what i mean. I didn't want to play with tt for now to ensure my network works fine. So that txt document has none in it either. It is a bunch of tweaks gathered but no real network adjustments (i didn't want to negatively effect my setup or others)

Official tmo d851 stock lp q&a thread

I am starting this thread anticipating the release of LP to our device. As we all know with the new 5.x.x release there are some bugs and new ways we have to mod things, most especially Xposed and the modules we use for our G3. I want this to be a place where you can ask questions, post information, and assist with anything TMo LP related.
Please no arguing and no conspiracy theories. I hope that with everyone playing nice and helping others, this can serve as a central hub of knowledge for our device running stock LP
@autoprime has already released a flashable unofficial system and boot image here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/stock-lg-d851-20b-t3062164
Please read it thoroughly!!
There is also a new root method, as many know, for Lg devices that is now available in a oneclick method. For those that don't want to flash the official rom through twrp when both become available this is for you,,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Remember this is mainly an information thread so please read as much as possible before asking a new question. If you don't have a somewhat helpful answer please don't reply. If you don't have a somewhat logical question please don't ask. We are here to help eachother
Don't know about the G3 although it should be fine, but Viper4android is working on LP. I installed it on my step son's N4..

Keep up the great work. Let me know if you need help testing. I don't mind pre-alpha or the risk of boot-looping in the name of improving your awesome App.
Overall works great but a few bugs.
What doesn't work / not work correctly--- indicated what isn't
Every change needs a reboot
Any change breaks custom Navbar/SoftKeys (until rebooted)
Quick Settings Panel color impossible to match to the color above it (the colored bar with the settings, clear and clock in it, not the status bar)
Advanced Power Menu shows up but missing reboot options despite 4 way setting being enabled. Screenshot option doesn't do anything.
Remove Knock Code String
Hide Carrier Text (Unlock Screen)
Bigger Call Picture
AOSP Clear All Button
Restore the Menu Button, it does restore the menu button but it doesn't change the icon in the stock settings anymore, still shows as Q-Slide or something like that

Yeah I think the only way to switch profiles is still through guest mode(not like other LP devices) so nothing there has changed.. I'm doing fine with data and wifi, issue I have is starting this morning I couldn't turn BT on from the statusbar toggle until I rebooted. I clean installed and started everything over too.
Plus so far battery seems a little worse..which has been reported across the board on G3's running stock LP
How To Get Viper4Android Working On 5.0.1 D851 (My Experience)
As the title states this is how you can get Viper4Android soundmod working.
·Download and install the Viper apk for 4.4/5.x you can choose version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4(I have a modded version called Lolliviper) (Not my work, you can google it).
·Download and install SELinux mode changer from the Playstore.
·Open Developer options under system settings and uncheck "Use NuPlayer".
·Open SELinux mode changer app and change to permissive.
·Open Viper and install your prefered driver (I use Superior quality).
·Reboot
·Upon reboot make sure SELinux is still set to permissive.
·Open Viper and enable.
·Open your music app and select a song.
·Open Viper select menu and the driver status. You should have all YES.
I have tested this on Google Music and the stock player. There are a lot of guides out there for this. Most suggest flashing libs and build prop tweaks. None of that was necessary for me. This is the exact way I set it up.

Idk I like it.. It is still legible, not cartoony, and not too bland. I don't like any of the stock fonts. I haven't found a font that I like yet that covers every area of font.
. If you hate the lollipop nav bar icons like me, I found a way to get the home, recent, and back buttons back. You can use kickoffs nav bar theme. I wouldn't recommend installing anything else from his thread... Trust me.

Working on D850 5.0.1 :good:

Changes from 4.4 to 5.1.1

Hi there.
I've just updated my z1c from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and everything is fine with it...
I just have few things to ask for:
1) it seems that app icons on home are bigger than in KK. Isn't it? If yes, is there a way to make them smaller, with gravity box or other mods?
2) while watching videos or photos in full screen mode on facebook, chrome and other apps, status and navigation bars don't disappear. I remember that before updating they did, but i don't remember if it was due to some function of GB or other mods. What do you think about it? Is there anything i could do to make it happen?
3) which sound mod could you advise for a volume increse with minimum quality loss?
Thank you so much, hope my english isn't too bad.

1) Serajr Xperia Xposed has an icon size adjustment, (maybe GB too, not sure). See screenshot- I set it to 50.
2) Mess around with 'immersive mode' in GB > display.
3) not sure about sound mods...

Thank you for the answer. I tried to modify "expanded desktop mode" in GB but nothing happened...

Just tried it, and you're right. I don't typically use it, so I didn't realize it wasn't working. Funny, all other GB tweaks I've used are working. I'll search some...

Testing out 'force immersive mode' from Xposed. Working so far. You can enable in each app. Try it out.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not perfect across all apps. Another option is called 'app settings'. It's similar, but has more options to set per app. I don't use FB, so I couldn't help w that...
Is it worth to update from KK to LP? I mean did you see some improvements in performance aside to UI and other LP's releated things? I need a suggestion bc I'm very attempted to update but I don't wanna end as a my friend who saw her G3s inexorably die after the update.

Stagefright fix, ultra stamina mode.
Probably other things, but this is what's new IMHO.
If you update, be ready to deal with less battery (but the gap isn't that huge).
Z1C is very snappy with this update, it won't die now for sure !

Wtf: Ultra Stamina Mode with less battery?!
Stragefright doesn't scare me so much because I generally don't download any MMS that I receive LOL
So, in the end, I guess I'll stay with this wonderful KK.
Thank you for your feedback though buddy!

I meant less battery life in normal mode of course
I guess it should be at least one week with USM enabled, this could be an interesting test btw !
About Stagefright, I don't think you even need to downoad it, only to receive it !

Yep man, you're completely right!
But it's enough disabling "auto-retrieve MMS option" (that is in every reliable messaging app, like Google's Messenger) to make stragefright bug completely harmless
As regards USM... well, if it actually extends battery life to one week, maybe I have to revalue the update. Has anyone tested it? I guess there's no porting on KK because it relies on "Ultra power safe mode" introduced with LP, am I right?

Hard to say... I don't see nothing really better.
Maybe i like layouts and some aspect of lp more then in kk, but for others is exactly the opposite.
The system seems faster, but it's still hard to say because i was on the same rom since One year and now i've a total wipe. Battery life is worst, but not too much. USM is fantastic, but I use it only if i have low battery without the possibility of charging for long time, because you can use only few functions with it.
Maybe i'd do the update again if i could come back (surely with root), but without any strong reason.
Hope This helped you.
