You are using stock rom rooted or a custom rom?

If so, you can add this to build.prop which is located in /system:

ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx

Where xxx should be the value for your resolution, i.e if One V has 250, you change it lower - 240 or 230. This should shrink all the elements you see on the screen. However, you must find what density the phone has. I can't search it for you 'cuz my phone is not with me atm.
[HTC One V] maxwen:
Hi

build.prop has the line

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

[HTC One V] boiibrandon:
I'm using stock rom.

Is there any guide that i can follow? I don't really understand how i should go about doing it.

Whn i tried using lcd resolution root, it showed my system density as 240.

I found the build thing. But how do i change it?

[HTC One V] spiderio:
Room Toolbox can help you with that

or you can manually change it with text editor
[HTC One V] boiibrandon:
Ohk. I managed to open the file and changed the density. However, i can't seem to save the changes.

[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
If you don't have root or you didn't opened with a root explorer app (such as root explorer) you will not be able to save the changes.
[HTC One V] boiibrandon:
I downloaded root explorer. I managed to edit the value and save.

But i do not see any changes. After i restarted my phone, the value went back to 240. My phone is rooted. I checked with terminal emulator.

You need to click the "Mount R/W" first. Then you will see r/o will chnage to r/w then you can edit.

changed the value to 260, now its just showing me HTC Sense is not working...

anyway to change extract the file and edit in my lappy? o.O?

EDIT:

managed to pull it out using adb... but i need to know how to push it back in using adb...
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Just take the build.prop from the ROM.zip and edit it with Notepad++

Or from the device, copy the build.prop to sdcard, then transfer to your lappy and edit with Notepad++. When replacing back in the system, make sure the permission is correctly input.

Hi. I have USB 3.0 port in my computer. I would like to know if I have advantages if I recharge my phone on USB 3.0 port?

I will have problem in my cellphone if I make this?
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
No, the USB port goes into 2.0 mode.
[LG Optimus 2x] tavoc:
The only advantage is, that you could transfer more energy, because usb 3.0 supports more than 500mA.

A normal charging adapter can load your smartphone with 1A.

But it is possible, that you have to use a standard loading cable (whitout data).
[LG Optimus 2x] darkrulerz:
Perhaps with a kernel with this modification in it you might be able to pull the 1A like the charging adapter...just an idea though, not tested...

Hey guys,

So when I downloaded the new update for Apex Launcher it keeps on crashing and it crashed ALL the system's apps :(

My friend has also an S2 and he downloded the same update from the same website, but it didn't do all the problems that happened to me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faqa42:
Currently running ICS via XXLPH on a GT-I9100P. Unfortunately, that version doesn't include NFC support, which annoys me, since I paid extra for a phone with NFC hardware.

My question is - I see via the sammobile page that there is a firmware update for my phone more recent than what I have, albeit one with a different PDA to my current one (I9100XXLPH vs I9100PBVLP8).

What exactly does this mean? Does this mean it's simply different software, but still designed to run on the same hardware? If so, it should be compatible with my phone, no? Or are there other things I should be checking for compatibility?

(Also - would that update even help with NFC?)

I recognize that ultimately whatever I do when screwing around is on me. And I realize that flashing a different official ROM is pretty tame compared to all the unofficial ROMs here (though most of them don't seem designed for the P version of the SGS2). But I'd rather not brick my phone at the moment.

Note - this is not a phone I got from a carrier, and I rooted it, so waiting for OTA upgrades is not an option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
make a bkp of ur exsisting rom and then flash the I9100PBVLP8 and see for the NFC issue if it resolves u can keep it else restore the original one back

since pda is the modem if its diff no issue u can always change the same if its not wrk'ng properly for u
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faqa42:
Thank you. So all I should care about in ROM flashing is the underlying hardware? PDA and CSC differences should not brick my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
You may want to check this out it should add NFC to any rom.

I'm using the following ROM (OpenSensation | CyanogenMod 9 RC1) as of 27-06-2012.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494373

Nevertheless, this problem has also happened on HyperSensation, which is also CM9 based.

The wireless location service (the one exclusively based on WiFi connection rather than on GPS) does not work at all with this ROM. I have it activated on system setting. But, every application (like Google Maps, for instance) does not recognize this service as activated. Google Maps even displays a message asking me to turn the service on. If I turn GPS on, then I can localize my position. For all other ROMs I have used with this phone (including ICS ones like MIUI, AndroidRevolution HD, for instance), this service works just fine.

I guess this is a question for the development forum, but I'm not allowed to post there since I'm a newbie in the forum. However, I have some experience flashing ROMs. Anyway, I just searched for some thread about this issue and found nothing.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Flash gapps.. it needs the networklocation.apk or something... I had the same problem before... I use root explorer to put that apk to system/apps folder then set permission and install it like normal app and reboot.

You could buy an Onlive controller and play PC games on it ;) . I don't know if that works with the Tegra Zone games though..

SixAxis controllers pair natively with my Transformer Prime (just have to turn the controller on, and search for bluetooth devices from the tablet).

Works with pretty much any app or emulator, especially if the app allows you to remap the keys to your liking. Can't see why the Nexus 7 would be any different...

Any game that works with the 360 controller can work with the OnLive controller. All you have to do is fool the OS into thinking the OnLive controller is actually a 360 controller, details outlined in this thread.

It will be soon....

Lucid Logix are gearing up for their own version of onlive that you can run on your home PC and stream your own games to your laptops/devices (android included). There were demos at the last CES showing 1 PC with 1 Graphics card streaming 3 different games to 3 different devices simultaneously :-)

http://www.lucidlogix.com/technology-cloud.html

makes sense to me, why pay for online to play games you already own for your pc.

I agree that the OnLive Controller is the best option, right now. If you are willing to wait, Nyko has a great controller http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3066853/nykos-playpad-android-controllers-free-fighter-ps3-hands-on,

Nyko PlayPad and PlayPad Pro hands down. They're not out yet, coming out this fall/winter. and no price, but it fully supports the tegra 3 and works without root.

In addition, you can even REBIND TOUCH CONTROLS to the controller. That sold me right there.

The PlayPad (not pro) also includes a case and stand for your tablet/phone.

Ah, I missed that. Tegra-exclusivity likely makes these a waste of time for many (definitely me).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] neok44:
It is designed and compatable with all Tegra3 games but it does NOT require the tegra.

It's requirements are only any android device running 3.0+ and bluetooth. It does NOT require the Tegra3 but it is built and designed to instantly work with Tegra3 games, other games and other hardware may require manual setup (you can also download setups through their app)

Proof: http://nyko.com/products/product-detail/?name=PlayPad
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Presently all Tegra 3 games that support gamepads support any gamepad that is natively supported, so the PS3 and Xbox controllers can also work with those games without setup. It is only for games that don't support touch control emulation that this may have an advantage if it can do it without Root.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] neok44:
true, but this is a controller that is made specifically for android and the tegra3. and add in the touch control emulation, full remapping, and the ability to download control schemes for games from their built in app, all without root. it ends up being a lot better than a PS3 or xbox controller.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Outrager:
Will that even work? I'm too lazy to unplug my own wireless adapter to check.

From what I can tell, you can only connect the WIRED XBox controller.

UPDATE: IT WORKS!

I can move around the homescreen with the left analog stick. X and Y selects icons. B goes back. Back button brings up some sort of context menu.

The 4 corner LEDs on the middle XBox button are constantly blinking.

I did some testing with Dead Trigger and it seems that the analog sticks aren't re-calibrating to their center so it's constantly stuck on spinning the camera.

Also you can't seem to map the DPad.

According to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407804) it seems like I would need to root my device to fix it or possibly find an app. I don't really have any games I want to play at the moment so I probably won't look too much more into this.

Has nyko hinted at price at all? I don't have a PS3, only wireless Xbox controllers. I'd rather not buy a PS3 controller, as the Nyko Gamepad (non-pro) looks great, and easier to carry than the PS3 controller. Q4 release is at least 1 month away if they release it right at the beginning.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] EvilDeadFan:
Exactly. You need to root, enter terminal emulator, set root then run a few basic commands after hooking the controller up. It then acts with the same characteristic that the wired controller uses. I haven't received my USB OTG cable yet, but when I do, you can be sure I'll be doing this for now, until I find some better solution. I just wish Microsoft used Bluetooth and not some proprietary.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
I've already used the sixaxis app on my N7. Its fine. PS3 baby!

I've used a handful of Bluetooth controllers until I finally broke down and bought a PS3 controller. I don't own a PS3 so I bought it just for Android gaming. Let me tell you the difference is night and day. Those knock off controllers suck at controls. The dpads are hard and don't respond properly half the time. The buttons are typically "off".

Official console game controllers are expensive for a reason. They are made of top quality materials and quality electronics. Pick up a cheap PS3 controller for like $25 at gamestop or off craigslist or steal a buddies extra one.

Buying any other controller is a waste of money. By the time I bought all these knockoff controllers trying to save a buck, I coulda just bought a damn Ps3 and saved a buck.

They use standard Bluetooth and WILL work natively on Android if a rom supports PS3 pairing. Megatron on my old transformer tablet had this. Using Sixaxis has its benefits like touchscreen button mapping for making it work with games that don't support a controller. But for emulators it doesn't matter. Native sync is just easier since you don't have to worry about starting the app, pairing, changing the IME, and minimizing.

The Nyko Gamepad is cute though. I think I'd get more use out the PS3 controller though.

Can someone help me?!! I brought an unbranded six axis controller and it won't pair, it started to worry me because it didn't affect my nexus 7 while connected via usb on the stock rom.

And then I rooted to paranoid android and its still the same.

Thought that it might work via bluetooth so I used the sixaxis pair tool and changed the bluetooth address and it wont pair, then i used usb cable to pair controller on the sixaxis app and it said "master address updated" but it doesnt pair and the lights keep on flashing on the controller.

Please help!! I want to play games >:|
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
The SixAxis App installs the required bluetooth drivers needed to pair. Some custom roms, such as those on the Transformer, already come pre-built with the drivers cooked in.

As far as I know, there aren't any Nexus 7 roms with this feature yet. So you'd require the SixAxis App to play Wireless. If you have an OTG USB dongle, you can hook up the PS3 controller via the charger cord (USB-to-MiniUSB) to the N7 and play without any required drivers or software. Wireless is the only thing that requires the SixAxis Pair tool app.

Seems there are lots of controllers coming out in the coming weeks. The SixAxis App has really good features builtin that allows assigning buttons to a specific area of the touchscreen (virtual screen taps) that allows for a broader use for games. The other controllers connect directly and should work with any game that ALLOWS button assignments. If a game doesn't allow you to manually assign buttons, then you won't be able to play.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] OffRhythm:
So, I have a Nexus 7 tablet. Yesterday I bought a Nyko Playpad for it so I can play my Emulators with an actual controller. I got it connected and was playing F-Zero just fine, but when I installed the app for the controller so I could set up custom controls for it, it stopped working. I uninstalled the app and it still won't connect. It pairs just fine though. Anyone had this problem and managed to fix it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Solange82200:
Nope. I had the same problem, and saw online somewhere someone saying the same thing, that it worked for a bit and then stopped altogether. Not to mention that their supposed app that is supposed to let you assign buttons for custom games isn't working. I returned the nyko play pad, and got myself a ps3 controller on sale for 45 at gamestop. With the sixaxis app, it's exactly what I needed. Nyko play pad is a joke

[Nexus 7 Accessories] jacob808:
I've read a review on Amazon about this problem, and the way to correct it and getting the play pad to pair again is to factory restore the nexus. I haven't tried this but I'm thinking about picking up a nyko playpad tomorrow from gamestop.

Anyway could you go into more detail about the play pad? I want to know what you've discovered about it so far. Was it worth the purchase?
