I'm opening this thread for have a place where shareideas to fix our Samsung apps for fit low DPi (high Resolution).
First, i'm not a developer so we need to cooperate alltogheter for win
I have a SGT European GSM, i don't know if those mods can be applicable to any CDMA device.
I fixed 2 apps for now:
Dialer, inside Contact.apk, mostly fixed only the dialpad, still need to fix Incoming/Outcoming calls
Calculator, fixed 100%
I have used this 2 great app :
[DPI] Dialer, MusicPlayer, Calc, FM, Camera + GUIDE +utility(kinda)
Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)
Inside these threads you will find how to use them.
What i modded:
Contact.apk-----> res/layout/dialer_app.xml
Calculator.apk---> res/layout/main.xml
Install them via Adb or rootexplorer.
This thread is meant for development, for people that wanna help for that purpose, do not put your request or whatever here.

Hello,
Those .apk works for all gsm rom ?
Thanks for your work
P.S Sorry my bad english :-(
They come from Alterbridge (Overcome)rom but they are stock apps Galaxy Tab, if Boyppc use that stock apps then they are good for you.
Make a backup of your old apps before, just to be sure.

This is the exact reason i still use 240 and not something lower. I will let you know how it works on DiP7's rom.

This works great running at 182. You should contact the overcome dev and see if he can include it in the next version. Thanks a lot!
I lied. Still looks bad when the phone is rining after placing a call in landscape mode.

I really dont mind it, you see the dialer like %3 of the overall time when using the tab
Just FYI, pixel density is not the same as dpi. A lower pixel density leads to an increase in dots per inch.

Sorry, I should've said "LCD Density". Decreasing that increases PPI and DPI - well, perceptually anyway, the LCD is still fixed at 1024x600. Given that the actual screen is 6.0" x 3.5" (7.0" diag) that means a native PPI/DPI of approx 170. I've no idea how LCD density relates to these values - can someone explain?
The wiki page nicely explains why I always feel like I can fit more "stuff" onto a Windows desktop than an OS X one though

I have looked into changing my tabs lcd and samaung says it will run best between
191 and 200. That we just need to find the best one for the tab. It is set at 240 stock. I have mine running at 195, and everything runs and shows up perfect. Looks like a new hd screen!

first of all.. thanks for the links.
i was trying to edit the email.apk to display properly in landscape mode but it is force closing whenever im switching to landscape mode. im trying to display the message list on left pane to adapt to extra height but it doesnot seem to work for some reason. the file i changed is.. Email.apk\res\layout-land\p1_message_list.xml
i think the line should read
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/msglist" android:background="#ffffffff" android:layout_width="258.0sp" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
but its not working or may be im doing it completely wrong. please help. i have so many other apps to fix too this is my first android hack.
get root tools in the market. you can change lcd, heap size, and several other mods.

Does anyone know if there is a work around to make Skype work after changing the DPI to 182?
i dont see any issue with skype pn 182dpi. what is the issue?
Did anyone get the Camera.apk to work with low densities? I just switched to 172 and I'm loving it. Everything looks much better.. except the Camera da FCs on startup.
Im using my galaxy note 4 in 460dpi and grren dialer button stretches. Will this fix the problem? Also how can i install this xml file

Very good app to adjust the Screen Color intensity and saturation.
Enjoy.
Cheers for that mate looks like an interesting app,will download and have a look.
Might check this out and see what its like
damn looks like VOODOO colors
This is an awesome app but I just realised that this app made the phone very slow and sluggish especially the stock web browser, can anyone confirm that?

I just noticed that it does slow down the animation.

I made this app for educational purpose
Glad to hear if someone likes it
On my old SGS, everything works great, the animation is smooth just as without SA
Stock browser the same
So far, only ppl with SGS2 and TranformerPad complain about it...
A few days ago I bought SGS2 and I don't see any slowing down
Probably it is related with soft version, I have KH3 (I didn't test on old firmware)

i am using newest firmware KI3 and have tested with KH3 as well. Animation slow down and becomes sluggish in stock browser, you can test, the scrolling becomes very not fluid as it should be... Pls check, i really love this app and hope you add the option to remove the icon on status bar as well^^

Dont scroll too fast, scroll slowly then you will see the animation is not smooth, check at the end of the scrolling when the scrolling is slowing down until it stops

Good Job mate, Just tested the new version and there is no graphichs glitches.
Unfortunately I don't have Galaxy S2 now but I tested it on HTC Sensation which is suppose to be less performer than the S2 because of HTC Sense and had no problems what so ever with it as before the graphics seems slower and animation is jumpy.
Best regards
Glad to hear

Nice app.
The Galaxy S II has a blue tint and I wanted to adjust the colour temperature to be more accurate. Though whites are now actually white, it looks like there's a thick weird tint, kind of like a beige layer placed on top of the bluish under layer.
I was wondering if providing a negative value options for colours would help?
Cheers and great work on the app.
Seriously cool app
i just wonder is it possible to someone make this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717079
Nope.
The reason: You need to input the highest DPI which will give you tablet mode, which is gotten by lowering the DPI.
You cannot lower our phone's DPI to that point.
And I really thing tablet apps on a 3.2" screen would just not work properly.
Succesfully got it booting (However i haven't followed that guide)
I'm testing it now.. I will share it if I don't find lots of bugs

How do tablet mode apps look?

Everything seems to work fine, except some dpi changes in framework-res (they cause bootloop, probably something is set wrong in pad.prop), SU works but sometimes keeps asking for su permissions.
I've attached a screenshot for you. It's not that bad, but with a larger screen would be a lot better
Edit: In the next days I will try to fix few things, then I will release it.. Maybe it doesn't have much sense to have tablet UI on a ldpi 3.2 inch screen, but that's why I ported it

I have seen people talking about changing the DPI on their phones?
What are the benefits?
Is it battery life? I think stock is 320 and some changes I have seen are under 200.
Thanks.
No battery benefits from doing it. It just makes the screen look different, and some people like that. Gotta be careful with it though because it can cause problems with downloads from play store.

Thanks. I thought the more dots would make it clearer. How do people know what to set it to? Just a tinker and see?
I saw some apps that fix the play store.

Hey,
I change the DPI so i can play some tablet games on my phone for exemple. On the ROMs that include the per app dpi (like Paranoid Android) you can change the dpi of every app or just on one single app. I use it also for the mail Apps like Gmail. It looks better and feels better
Hope that helped you !
If the answer satisfied you, hit the Thanks button
I'd changed it for browsing some layoutted strangly webs,finally I was getting dizzy before long,so I changed it back.

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem using my phone as a dashcam when driving. I've tried a couple of apps thoroughly which makes me think the problem is a hardware issue, not the apps.
Basically, I want to use a fairly high resolution with the sound off (both apps have this feature) but that causes the camera to pause for 1-2 seconds every few seconds. Turning the sound on fixes it, but that's not ideal. At really low resolutions it works okay, but the quality is quite poor.
Are there any apps/tweaks etc that can improve this do you think? Has anyone got the Ace working well as a dashcam? THanks for any help, I've spent ages trying different settings etc.
U tried LenovoSuperCamera? It has lot of options and it makes quite nice shots. The only problem is in video-recording cuz its only recording in 720p, if its ok for u then give it a try. I'll send u a link if ill find it. (there is a special modded version on xda)

Thanks, I'll take a look. Is it just the first result on XDA when you Google it? Says it's for S4, but it works on Ace 2? Or is there another version?

I'll take a look, thanks. Sounds good. Will this affect other apps using the camera? For example, will a dashcam app use Lenovo or will it just use the actual hardware?
Ask in the lenovo thread. All what i know about this app is that im using it and it works good.
