Believe me it would be amazing if somebody could fix this. Our phone begins to look like higher end phones when the density is lowered.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Just wondering, in the screenshot with the status bar pulled down, did changing the density shift the blue circle on the bar (on the bottom) to the left?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Yeah :-P but it still looks better ;-).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Problem solved.

See first post if you want to try it
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xSyntaX:
What do you mean with Density ?

The Pixel-Density ?

kind regards

xSyntaX
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harshdoshi25:
changing the density makes our device look ugly imo.. :p i like our default density, its perfect.. there is also pixelation here and there with lower density and smaller fonts.. u can increase font size, but well, doesnt suit me. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Yeah pixel density.

Technically lowering the density should make our device look ugly. But I find setting the density to around 140 makes the device(and the resolution) look perfect :)

and iv never faced any pixilation at that density, though setting it to 120(default ldpi) does make it look little pixelated and a bit ugly(and everything too small)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harshdoshi25:
call me mad, but i just tried 140 and reverted immediately ! eww ! :P oh and u on testing kang by lupo ? do u have the problem of grey search box and the line above dockbar ? it becomes white for a milli sec when menu pressed.. plz confirm or deny. (only on testing kang and the update by hephappy)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dynamite33:
awesome..

nicce work :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Guess uv got too used to the normal density :p

And iv removed the line from settings so cant say about that but no I don't have any prob with the search box

Edit

I just checked the dock divider and no I don't have any prob with that either :/

hey will this tweak work on xperia x8 with cm9 ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Yeah it should. I cant tell for sure because I cant try it.

There's no harm in giving it a shot. Just backup before trying.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] harshdoshi25:
maybe :p but u dont get that problem ? the search box (the ics square one) is completly white ? thats odd ! ppl did confirm this bug ! :confused:

I have tried on X8 - not working... :( error with dialer - not able to place/receive call....Androidnerd - have u tried it? Is it wokring for u?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
Im using whatever drivers were there in lupo's test by default :D

I do have colour banding in some apps like whatsapp, but nothing with the search box.

Works fine on my phone. Which phone.apk are you using the default one or the one iv linked?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rishabh22:
I had been using this with perfect peso(cm7.2 nightly based) and had got so used to it that at normal density ics was looking ugly to me :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cole2kb:
Thank you very much for this. I tried the same sort of thing myself, but because I have no idea what I'm doing, I tried taking the Phone.apk from a GB ROM that I was able to change the density on instead of one from a lower-res CM9 ROM and it caused a whole mess of problems, haha. Running Quattrimus CM9 alpha on my OV in beautiful 120 density. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] batista16:
this doesn't work anymore, does it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cole2kb:
I am using it just fine, however it does have a minor issue that is bothering me.

I'm on an Optimus V running Quattrimus AOKP. When a call comes in, this is what the screen looks like. (Silly XDA rules won't let me post the image.)

i49-tinypic-com (slash) jts67s-png

When you drag it to the left, it declines the call, but the button highlighted turns into the Camera icon.

Just today, I decompiled the APK and am trying to find where to go to fix this, along with the odd placement of the accept / decline bar, but am totally flying blind, so I doubt I'll get anything done.

Hay rishabh22, I am on ICS, how do i change you phone.apk? I have successfully installed it but it still forecloses.

Pl help

Update,

I pasted the Phone.apk in system/app folder. Now when i call on my mobile it forecloses while doing so.

***Update***

Restarted my mobile and it works. But call pickup options are way below the screen
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androidmeda:
yeah, there is a problem when answering a call. that i could stand. but somehow my messaging keeps closing on its own (not fc, just close) whenever i open it.

testing kang is sooooooooooooooooo old... lol use arjen's latest weekly

i only change the pixel density so I can apply HDPI themes, then I change back

140 looks too wierd, and the blue circle on the status bar is misplaced
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Giovannilamarmora:
for the aokp built 38?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PdroidAndroid:
What is screen density ? i mean the function of change density
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pravin_pran:
LCD density is like resolutions on um your computer. On computer more you increase resolution more text/ images will fit on the screen. Its exactly same concept but works other way around on mobile. More you increase density, say 180 text and images will appear large hence less data on screen and vice versa. O1 native density 160. I am on ics and use 140.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PdroidAndroid:
So if you select 140, you will have a higher resolution than in 160 ?

Can'y find the setting in AOKP, do you now if this function is in aokp or only in CM9 ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Giovannilamarmora:
yes but on aokp built 38 doesn't work :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
I applied this on CM9 chargeme and when I rebooted I had no service. Can someone help me please?

Try changing phone.apk in phone app with the file given in first post
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Yes I did that. When I tried to call, it said contacts forced close. I am unable to get any mobile service
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
Give proper permissions.It works for me on chargeme.:cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Do I change the dpi first or replace the phone.apk first?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
Change the dpi(dnt reboot),replace phone.apk by giving proper permission and then reboot.:cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Oh thanks anyway. But I actually replaced the phone.apk first and then applied the density change and it still works
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Giovannilamarmora:
you may fix it for AOKP build 38?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kjloh:
Replacing Phone.apk works. But I do find Search FC. any replacement for that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] locky9:
Guys a possible solution is to change the theme from default by another (eg MasterUIv4) and fixes the problem ... you inform that you have achieved ..

[Android General] andwise:
I didn't find any good info for modifying and creating ext4 sparsed images so i decided to share :)

This is for all who wants to unpack and modify the original system.img that you can flash using recovery.

system.img (what you get from the google factory images for example) represents a sparsed ext4 loop mounted file system.

It is mounted into /system of your device. Note that this tutorial is for ext4 file system, you may have system image which is yaffs2 for example.

the way it is mounted on Galaxy Nexus:

"/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0"

Prerequisites:

1. Linux box or virtual machine

2. simg2img, make_ext4fs binaries which can be downloaded from here http://web.djodjo.org/?a=download:android:tools:x86_linux:ext4tools

Procedure:

place you system.img and the 2 binaries in one directory, and make sure the binaries have exec permission.

Part 1 - mount the filesystem

1. mkdir sys

2. ./simg2img system.img sys.raw

3. sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop sys.raw sys/

Then you have all your system partition mouned in 'sys' and you can modify whatever you want in 'sys'. For example de-odex apks and framework jars.

Part 2 - create a new flashable system image.

1. sudo ./make_ext4fs -s -l 512M -a system new.img sys/

2. sudo umount sys

3. rm -fr sys

Now you can simply type:

fastboot flash system new.img

enjoy :)
[Android General] vijai2011:

[Android General] TiBiSMART:
This is the same problem...

any idea?
[Android General] TiBiSMART:
This is the solution for sgs3:

./make_ext4fs -s -l 1610612736 -a system new_system.img sys/
[Android General] RealBorg:
You need to use the correct size for your new system image.

Use tune2fs -l sys.raw and "Block count" * "Block size" for make_ext4fs -s parameter.

You can also use "cat /proc/partitions" and your device to find out the correct size

Note: If your Samsung Device does not support fastboot, you can use heimdall instead.

Tom
[Android General] djodjoni:
You can just get the size of the original sys.raw and create the new image the same size. You can create the new image whatever size you like that can fit the files you put in but have to bear in mind not to ovrflow the dedicated partition size by the system as it wont be mounted correctly. For example if you create 1gb system for Galaxy Nexus it will be fine and flashed but it will not boot.
[Android General] jay.guy2006:

after mounting the sys i cant write maybe there is no root permission and i cant unmout also and tell me one more thing when i use the fastboot flash command its says command not found. please help me, i have mtk .img files
[Android General] toly084:
Good time of the day for everyone. Finnaly I found what I need. I need to make an image of the system of the Kindle Fire. I have problem with my KF. It can be seen only from Fastboot. It was absolutly dead. Now partitions mounted and even its boot till Kindle Fire (white and yellow). All I've done in the terminal of the TWRP. But to finish I need to make system.img and flash it in Fastboot. As I understood I need Linux, I prepare USB disk right now that to install. Then as wrote:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Linux box or virtual machine

2. make_ext4fs binary which can be downloaded from here http://andwise.net/?attachment_id=406

Procedure:

Create a new flashable system image.

1. sudo ./make_ext4fs -s -l 512M -a system new.img sys/

2. sudo umount sys

3. rm -fr sys

Now you can simply type:

fastboot flash system new.img

So, I rebooting my Windows to install Linux

Is it possible to have different animations on Touchwiz launcher while I scroll between home screens???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Im running stock Gingerbread, never been rooted.

What I am looking for is a simple one click method to root the phone for a few minutes so I can make a few tweaks and then unroot it.

Yes, Im aware that I can use the Odin method to root without tripping the flash counter, make my tweaks, and then use another Odin package to unroot it, however, there are a few problems with this, in order to keep this brief, I dont want to go into all the details but suffice it to say, I dont want root constantly enabled, I just want to enable it briefly and I dont want to install CWM so I can reset the flash counter and then (if its even possible) have to re-install the 3e recovery menu EVERY time I need root for something briefly.

Im looking for something along the lines of Super One Click (shortfuse.org) or UnlockRoot (www.unlockroot.com) where I can hit root, the phone reboots, I do what I need to do, hit unroot and the phone reboots unrooted. Both of these tools, needless to say, do NOT work (even tho they are listed as supported devices). Remember also, this is the ATT Note SGH-I717 so when looking thru the device lists supported by other software, make sure to look for the right Note :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
i don't think those methods exist like they did with say the Samsung infuse. I used the Odin way, just as easy as super one click...but you mentioned you didn't want to use it so I'm not sure what you can do. Why not just stay rooted? And there is a flash counter reset just so you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ahenderson223:
I used odin super fast and easy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Im well aware of how easy the pre-rooted kernel is to flash via Odin, its the unrooting process that is a pain.

I dont want to stay rooted and I dont want to use Odin, the process of reverting back to unrooted is too much of a pain in the ass.

My guess is that there is no easy one click process or it would have been posted already.

Its a shame, one of the huge benefits with Android was how easy it was to gain root to tweak OS level things and then revert back to an unrooted state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
I used SuperOneClick without any issues whatsoever? What, is it not supposed to work or something? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Erm, ok, Id love to know how you did...

First, what phone do you have (carrier). I am using the ATT Note.

If we are on the same page there, what settings do I need to enable on the phone and/or SuperOneClick?

On my phone, I enabled USB Debugging, in SuperOneClick, I left everything default, I click the Root button and on step 7 a bunch of gobbly gook appears (there is no log created so I cant just copy and paste some of the text) and it just stops. I left it sitting for a few minutes and nothing happened to either the phone or SuperOneClick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
I have two Notes. The N7000 I rooted using SoC on GB, doing exactly what you've done. The i717 was exactly the same. USB debugging enabled, plugged in and USB not mounted. MY computer is picky about USB ports so I use the same port and cable for every phone.

Grab the latest SoC (my sig has a link) and extract. Install Kies to get the USB drivers, then uninstall Kies and leave the drivers installed. Plug in the phone and let it install. Once it's done, run SoC (not as an administrator), select 'auto' for the exploit and click 'root'.

You'll get the usual 'found a gingerbread', 'sending 149 zerglings' etc. Then it tells you the 'overseer found a path' and after a few more steps reboots with root. Took me all of about 40 seconds.

I use AT&T phones unlocked in Australia, so we are using the same handset. This method doesn't work for ICS, you'll need to flash SU with CWM for that.

Let me know if I can help any more :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Yea, unfortunately, it doesnt work for me.

I have the Samsung drivers installed (I know because when I plug in my phone under device manager, it shows my phone as correctly installed and I get a pop up from windows asking me whether I want to open a folder to browse the phones' contents - and Kies sees the phone).

I even tried uninstalling Kies but keeping the driver installed (Windows still asks me whether I want to browse the phone contents).

I also tried removing the sd card, altho this should not affect the process.

When I run SOC, I maximize the window so I can read the text and basically, when it gets to step 7, it sends 149 zerglings, then it waits 40 seconds, then it sends 189 zerglings, waits 40 seconds, then it says that it doesnt have write permissions and asks me whether I have root or not (not in a dialog box but in the text on the right hand side of the screen - I can only assume that it is initially trying to get a shell/temporary root so that it can do what it needs to for a permanent root), then it tries to push some files to the phone and then just completely stops. I let it sit for Id say 10 minutes with no progress.

The only thing that maybe is creating a problem is that the phone seems to be automounting, when I plug in the storage, it doesnt ask me what I want to do, it just mounts the device. I poked around in the settings and couldnt find any setting to disable this but Im not 100% sure this is a problem as the Captivate did the same, when you enabled USB debugging, it would automount the device.

Oh, and when I plug in the USB cable, the notifications bar shows 'MTP Initializing' and a few seconds later, 'MTP Mode'.

And Im using Super One Click version 2.3.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] auslander1138:
Did you ever get a working solution to your question? I am in the same position: wanting to temporarily root my phone, do my tweaks and then re-root it so that I can run the POS enterprise mail application that has a policy to check for "root".

I would think that this should be much easier than it seems, but perhaps not :(

Thanks,

aus
