OK... Getting closer, but won't work for me....

1. Flashed RC1.1

2. Flashed RC2

3. Installed AOSP Kit

4. Changed DPI to 213

5. Everything is running

** Except for that damn Microsoft exchange again... LOL

The AOSP email app will not work with Exchange.

After it tried to connect to exchange during the setup of the account, it freezes.

Then I get the "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" dialog.

I need to find a way to have the RC2 and still have the Samsung email app.

DAG: I also think that if my testing is True, and everyone gets the FC in the Samsung Contacts, Browser, etc. that you need to change these as default.

Or is it only me that has these issues?

Or am I doing something wrong in the first place?

Been working a lot this morning on these issues and I hope that the information I've provided is worthwhile feedback.

For all the testing scenarios I did, see: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25704954&postcount=3672

I still think this is best ICS ROM available for the Samsung Galaxy Note :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Would anyone care to give me a brief explanation of dpi or this uodate? I've been running tab mode wince it came out including all addons and updates but I'm yet to flash the newest update because I don't really no how it works, in my opinion those who flash these types of updates with out fully understanding are those who get into trouble...and I'd be one of those guys. I've read alot of this thread and for what I gather, certain apps require or like different dpi settings, and this update will allow you to kind of create custome profiles for specific apps (not sure if that's accurate) ice been running the 213 setting since day one and I'm yet to have any real fc's or non working apps...what would require this update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ship It City:
Dude I told you how after you asked the first time, i also asked if you flashed CWM ???? you have to have clockworkmod installed to get to recovery , if you just flashed the leaked beta then you still need to install CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Long and the short of it - this update includes a set of fixes and some tweaks that take care of some issues people had reported. Multi-DPI is apparently now incorporated into RC2 so the extra flash is not required.

Quite simply put - you can flash Hybrid 1.1 then RC2 and be done with it. The add-ons (AOSP etc) are just that - Add-ons that you don't HAVE to have.

You are also correct in your assumptions about some apps liking or needing different DPIs depending on what your intentions are. For example - YouTube runs with either a tablet UI (lower than 213) or a phone UI (higher than 213). If you want the tablet UI for YouTube you can (in RC2) modify the settings for it directly in build.prop and have it run that way. If you want the phone UI, you can set it at say 320 and it will run that way instead.

Here's the best way I can sum it all up with how I'm using it:

I prefer my launcher to run in a really small format so I can have more icons / widgets (layout 9x7) on the launcher screen. So I have Apex Launcher configured at 192. But, I'm getting older and the eyes aren't so good, which means I can barely read my emails at 192. So, I set Enhanced Email (EE) to run at 280 dpi. This means now EE looks more like it would if I installed it on a stock ROM and Apex looks fantastic as well. Here's an example of the difference between running Root Explorer and EE at different resolutions (see screenshots).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] armyboy11b:
Dude do u even have cwm installed? U need that first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Great break down. So for the most part I was on the right track. I too really like the look etc of apex but the small text was hard to deal with, now I'm running nova and my entire phone is set at 213 and everything seems smooth. But now that I think of it...there are a few apps I use that require reading and the text is pretty small, so I suppose I can install this upgrade and adjust those apps to a higher dpi while keeping the phone and other apps at 213 setting and not have to adjust and readjust dpi as needed. Sounds like a great but I'm just not sure its worth me trying to work this upgrade since I'd only need it for a few apps. I say this because of some of the issues/bugs I've read that people are having.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
Ok I understand rc2 it's being technical for some users but I assure every one everything works I will post an updated build prop and an updated full base and I will also separate the addons I also agree I'm reading to many updates but that's how fast things are going right now

I know at least half the users have ord (like me) so I release stuff asap

Should I change that or?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
Simon - your email app shouldn't change unless you install the optional "AOSP app kit" or "Inverted Aosp app + widgets".

My recommendation is to do one of the following:

- Install my modified "Inverted AOSP app + widgets" from a few pages back - this has the AOSP email client removed (you must also remove or freeze Exchange.apk after flashing because I forgot to take it out).

- Install my other revision (attached). This has the AOSP email client removed, does NOT require removal of Exchange.apk after flashing, and also has the AOSP MMS app removed so that you can continue to receive MMS from iPhone users.

Hope it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Ok maybe I can get an answer this time...

Does the status bar in tablet mod go away like it should, also will it go away with a gesture?? Thank you

Biggest dog on the block, Note!! Now ICED out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Knock on wood - I'm not having issues. But - I use Enhanced Email for Exchange and Gmail sync so I'm not really relying on the Samsung Apps. I also don't have Contacts issues.

Now - The key thing you need to know before flashing is that there are some default settings in build.prop that MAY hose up your current dpi setup for some things. For example Apex was NOT defaulted to a smaller dpi - so when I booted RC2 for the first time it went to a bigger size than I had it on 1.1. I had to add it to build.prop to make it small. I think build.prop sets the default for all non-specified apps to 240 but Apex ignored that. It took me maybe 30 minutes to figure out what I needed to do for the apps I wanted, and then actually doing it. Not a big deal, and frankly well worth it to not have to squint at my email or MMS.

@Tuefel My guess here is no. Example: Launching Angry Birds Space - the status bar remains at the bottom of the screen while the game is playing. I haven't tried getting it to be gone with a gesture (not even sure how I would set that up at the moment.)

mind to share yoru build prop as I will merge all the user posted build prop and it will save me lots of time for apps I dont use .. thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Things are working well, just a few issues:

1. Play Store showing most of my apps as not compatible -- I've cleared data/cache for Play Store and Google Services Framework, but it didn't help. Any other ideas?

2. Is there any way to increase the size of the pattern on the lockscreen? If it's possible to set the lockscreen to 320dpi, which apk is it?

3. Some apps appear to ignore their custom dpi setting in build.prop. (example: Titanium Backup. I was sure to match it to the apk name in data/app, but it still runs at the default 192).

4. Can't get battery percentage to show up...?

Any help is much appreciated!

So I flashed rc2... seems to be working .. its weird tho. Here are my steps

I was originally on rc1, with dpi at 213 .

1. Flashed revert

2. Flashed rc2

Booted up, I'm on rc2 but still at 213 dpi. Shouldn't I be at 320 since I flashed the revert?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
s1mpd1ddy - No, this is expected. RC2 reverts the reversion.

Per App DPI Workings

DaGr8 will be able to pull all this together for you once the dust settles, this new multi dpi per app thing is really neato.

Until then, here are some of the highlights you'll want to know:

The default of 192 dpi in build prop is the dpi that the *nexus* needs to enable tablet mode, change all of those to 213. Thats our mode.

The qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 doesn't really have any effect that I can see, and I've seen it mess up market. I've commented it out.

There are three different entries for ro.sf.lcd_density. Remove or comment out the first two.

Make sure that all the keyboard DPIs match your base DPI. recommend updating everything to 213.

Some applications just do not read in DPI like others do. So some apps like reader, pulse, google drive, es file explorer etc won't resize from the system default. Where found, I've added the entries and commented them out in my build.prop.

The default web browser crashes in tablet mode, adding an entry setting it to 320dpi allows it to launch, or download ics browser +, which is better anyways.

The Contacts.apk in the Inverted Package and in the RC2 package doesn't currently even load for me, and the original contacts.apk in the base rom crashes. Don't have a fix yet. Already tried clearing data etc.

The default messaging Mms.apk from the base install uses multidpi per app, and renders nicely at 280, it has dual pane view, which is nice.

Missing Purchased Apps in Market when in tablet mode. To work around this, open up Market, go to My Apps, and start scrolling down, after your installed apps, are a listing of every app you've downloaded and purchased. Reinstall from there until a more permanent fix is available.

For those of you that have wondered what the best steps are to install a rom with all this multi dpi per app goodness, here is what worked for me:

Reboot into CWM and do a backup (gotta have that safety net)

Factory reset

Install THE_HYBRID_CLC5_RC1.1.zip

Boot (you need to let the base rom complete initial setup, if you do all three at once, bad things (tm) happen.)

Reboot into CWM

Install INVERTED_APP_KIT_AOSP_Widgets.zip

Install RC2_app_per_dpi_.zip

Boot

Use my build.prop (see below)

My build.prop, for anyone curious:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RicFusion:
I have no issue with it whatsoever, but then again I haven't flashed the AOSP app kit. Seems to me that may be where the issue is coming from. Then again I usually run most of the ROMS as bone stock as possible for a while before testing add-ons. Only current mod I have on it is the Multi-DPI Tablet UI. Other than that, nothing else added. Everything runs SUPER SMOOTH for me (aside from trying to full screen vids in browser, but I'm sure that's DPI related as I set mine at 260 and haven't edited the build.prop).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
Excellent summary and I thought Id give your build.prop a shot.

Copied it across with root explorer, rebooted, and all I got is a black screen... LOL

Gonna try a fix permissions and then re-flash if a no go.

Please DaGr8 CHANGE NOTHING!

I too hav had some occasional issues (need to clear data on the asop dialer frequently) but the bottom line from what i see is that this is a ROM that can be as simple or as technical as u want it to be. Im trying to delve into some of this stuff because i want to learn, but it can be a simple phond ICS (stable and smooth as hell!) if thats all u want.

I am pretty low on the dev knowledge scale, but i can find all my answers here by reading. Your instructions are fine, but people new to this (as i was) simply need to slow down and read. I love this thread because its making a better rom every day. Keep doing what your doing DaGr8! When payday comes, have a beer on me!

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SimonNWalker:
OK, I took your build.prop and inserted into the RC2 ZIP.

I then followed your guide for Installation with the exception of the INVERTED_APP_KIT_AOSP_Widgets.zip as that replaces the email app and then my exchange won't work.

So far... So good...

All my apps are now appearing in the Play Store too.

Dude, I'd kiss you if I could :D

I think we are almost there.

With the Amazing work from DAG and the efforts of the community, this is turning into one amazingly flexible solution.

I gave you a solution for this a few posts back, not sure if you missed it..

Dagr8,

Change nothing to your approach. This thread is so fun to follow. i cant wait until the dust settles so that i can upvrade from my smooth alphaII. I do dabble with the new updates and stuff. But waiting till all is smoothed out and will fully invest on building out my next daily driver.

By the way i am not a Twiz launcher fan. But the Samsung keyboard, calendar, smemo, email is much more feature rich than the AOSP especially for business users like me.

I'm having this problem also. I've tried wiping all and loading hybrid again. Then I flashed the revert to plain hybrid. The problem won't go away.

Can anyone think of anything else to try? Would going to stock and coming back fix it?

This is somewhat urgent since I can't purchase the premium version of titanium backup and I'm not about to restore a hundred apps one at a time. It would take hours.

I added a line for the apk name I found in data/app, and also changed everything that had "tapatalk" in it to 320, but it's still running at 213.

Is this just another one of the apps that's ignoring our build.prop changes, or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
I found it after opening the app drawer a few times.

I have went back to rc1 or hybrid or whatever it was before the 5/5 update. I found that the homescreen transitions were jittery with apex in rc2 and I can't find an app that lets me change the DPI of the main system UI to get out of tablet mode. Non of my apps that worked with GB work with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jedimindtrick25:
I see most apps although occasionally something like mlb at-bat 12 (which is tablet compatable) doesnt show and cant be installed via browser. Doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I have imdb running on rc2, but i originally installed at rc1 and before i applied the tablet mode, so its possible thats why. Have you tried installing from a browser?

Hmmmm... i only ran into that twice, and i downloaded the apks elsewhere, tho one of then really wasnt compatible on ics at all and fc no matter what. Something like imdb shouldnt be too hard to find the apk for but it would probably be a pain if you have too much of this.

The lockscreen Never comes up, even if I set screen timeout to 15 seconds, even if I hit enable immediately for facial unlock, nothing works, not even pattern unlock.

and every time I reboot the phone it defaults to loud mode even if silent/vibration was enabled prior to reboot.

I dont know how to fix this ive re-installed the ROM about 5 times wiping everytime...still doesnt work, ive tried other ICS builds as well still doesnt work, do i need to flash Stock ICS through Odin first then flash these ROMs?
