Its hard to explain through posts but I'll do my best.

The confusion starts because of the difference in terminology. The UI setting affects only the layout of the app. Certain apps such as maps or play store have a different layout depending on whether your a phone or a tablet. The DPI however is JUST the size of things displayed. In other ROMs such as v7, ROM Control sets the DPI to let's say 160 and then apps automatically think your on a tablet device and changes the UI layout on its own. Here however they are strictly separate. You have control over the DPI and UI layout separately.

So my settings are such that all apps have a PHONE UI layout but are a tiny 160 DPI in size. And then if I want to, which I did, I can go back to individual apps such as maps and change them specifically to display UI layout of 600px which is tablet-phablet layout.

My suggestion is start with my settings and then tweak apps individually if needed. My settings closely mimic the effects of changing DPI to 160 through ROM Control in v5,6,7. My settings will also assure you a properly sized status bar.

For the sake of completion,

The themed keyboard will not break for as low as 200DPI. So basically 240 and 200. Anything lower and you will lose the keyboard theming.

ROM Control should be untouched and remain as 240. I'm not sure if it will but it may cause conflicts if you change it. All that is necessary is adjusting settings through paranoid android.

I think that about covers my DPI investigation.

Sry if I stated the obvious and sound condescending in any way. I didn't know any of this until today. I thought changing DPI is just changing DPI with nothing more to it :p

Good luck

Weird. I download tmobile my account perfectly.

So you cleared data and all for services framework and play store right? Try this:

1. Log into the play store on your browser

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and locate "my orders and settings"

3. Click on the settings tab

4. Assign a "nickname" to your phone

5. Check "shown in menus"

6. Save settings

7. Return to the play store and download your apps.

If that doesn't work, try this:

1. Wipe google play data

2. Then remove your account from Google play

3. Add it back in.

Found a quick solution to the panorama issue.

Flash the 4.2camera files that are going around. It will install the missing stuff, libs maybe?, and you will be all set. Panorama will work on both Cameras at this point.

Does that mean both photo panorama and video work within 4.2

After Flashing this rom , phone stuck at bootscreen

After flashing this rom , my s2 is now stuck at the boot screen , so i removed the battery and placed back in , and now i cant get into the recovery mode , is there any way to enter into recovery mode by any hardkeys?

is there a solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seamus24:
Can't get settings to show up in normal single window display. Changed dpi. changed paranoid ui (actually it was already in phone mode). What settings do I need to change to get the screen to appear normal

BTW - Fastest ROM yet. Truly smoooooooth.

EDIT - Nevermind - The phone seems to have sorted itself out on its own. Even though I had it set at 360px in for the APP Settings UI, and I had applied it..... After the third time of checking to make sure I had the correct settings I decided to "Launch" it from the Paranoid Settings App Settings UI screen. It launched correctly and subsequently remembered itself so now it works. Very weird behavior...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold volume up and volume down adm the power button until you feel a vibration. Then let go of the POWER button but keep holding the volume rockers. Then, you should see your recovery. May I ask what recovery you are using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Go to romcontrol> general> and disable dual panel view

Also, in the paranoid settings, when you went to apps and then settings, you dragged the slider to 240 and the set the view to 360 right. Also make sure after you apply those settings, you launch the app using the button in the top right corner.

Edit: nvm see you fixed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] negerhab:
Hey I can't answer my phone because when I press the slider, the options are too spread out, I know it's a dpi setting but can't change them from paranoid settings under apps, what should I do? Thanks.

My settings have the answer rings offset from center but they are fully displayed on the screen. I know what ur talking about because I had it off the screen too and couldn't reach the answer ring but with my settings previously discussed its fine. I don't know how to pin point a solution so just change everything.

Go to paranoid settings and go to apps and scroll down to phone. Change its DPI to 240 and its layout to 360 (if not already there). Then do the same with contacts. Sorry for the late reply.

OK then. If that's the issue, I'll look into taking acid out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
Counter argument would be take out walkman. Cuz Pandora works just fine so maybe another player will too. Idk how much people want acid in or not. Or whether it even does anything....food for thought
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Of Course! Thats why it wasnt working. The walkman app i put in was made to work with beats. I forgot to edit the audio.conf to work with AC!D! Itll be fixed in v9 guys.

Thank you TmoGalaxyS2 for all of your hard work and thank you to those that helped contribute this ROM. Unfortunately my phone doesn't like v8 as it's stuck in the boot screen as well. Flashing back to v7 until v9 comes out if any. I'm all smiles. :)

Sound problem again!!!!

TMO, downloaded the v8, clean installation! Still no ringtone sound when receiving a call.This is so damn weird. It only happens on V7 and now V8. Every ROM I flashed, it always has some noise while it boots, but somehow this V7 & V8 are so silent when booting. Is it really because of the new sound app called "Dolby Mobile" in the app section? I am giving up on this ROM, I have to really go to different ROM now. I really hate to leave this ROM, its so super smooth, but I can't operate a phone without any sound when receiving call or messages. Thanks for your contribution, TMO!

I've never done anything fancy. I just do a clean installation each and every release of this ROM except V2 as it has too many problem. I've never really had sound problem. Only thing that I notice is the ringtone is defaulted to silent. So I just go and select what I wanted. And hit the up volume button on the left side of the phone. There I can hear sound start playing. Try that to see if it's any different.

uh, I have one silly question, though. How do you enable to install unknown source and usb debuging? This new rom just different for me to find my way around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
Unknown sources is under security. Debugging is under developer options.

Here's an odd problem I found. When using the flash on the camera(it's set to flash by default), the phone restarts and the picture I took is deleted.

This and lack of sound(alarm, ringtone, etc) sometimes are the only problems I've had on v7. I'll try v8, but it doesn't sound like the sound problem has gotten better for some people :p

Absolutely LOVE this ROM! Thanks much, man!

I did the same thing as Tmo instructed, chose a rington, held up the volumne until there was a beep. Then I used my landline phone to call myself, and it's still silent. Also, the funny thing is when you hear the beep after holding up the volumne key, BUT if you held down to vibrate, then held up again, you wont hear any beep. So dont really know why! This never happens in version prior to v7. Also, I used the latest TWRP to flash the ROM. Very frustrated! Liked the ROM so much, but cannot use it due this sound problem.

TMO, i did everything you have advised, and of course I did pick a ringtone for the sound, but no vain. Normally when you select the ringtone, it will ring first like a preview ring, and if you don't like it, u can pick the next one. However, none of the ringtones sounded when I played with it. Really bad! I even chose GANGNAM STYLE as a ringtone, but it wont sound. All i think is the apps called "Dolby Mobile" and "ACCiD sound" may have caused this problem. I believe there were no such apps in any versions prior to V7. I been waiting and waiting for the version 8 with lots of hope it will fix the sound problem, but in fact it does not. Do you think you can delete those two apps, "Dolby Mobile" and "Accid" out from your original version 8 in the OP so I could test? Just an idea.
