1. You need to be rooted, which is required only for the 2nd step

2. Install the framework: XposedInstaller.apk from here. After installing that app, run it and on the main screen press Install/Update so the framework is active starting on the next boot. This is the only step that requires root.

3. Install any xposed mod you want, such as the mms one. It's an installable apk like any other app, except they are created to hook to other apps and modify their behavior. (BTW, if you download it from the repository shared by pulser on the OP, make sure to rename the downloaded files from .zip to .apk as some browsers change the extension. They're APKs, not ZIPs to flash in recovery)

4. Go back to the XposedInstaller app and in the Modules tab enable the ones you want. Also, for those that provide a configuration GUI, you can press the line (instead of the checkbox) to open the app and configure the mod.

That's it.

You won't be changing the stock mms.apk file, but rather running the framework and a separate "special app" that will slightly modify the behavior of the mms app at runtime, without permanently changing it apk.

If some one is using this to change DPI maybe we can share our settings? I've spend some time to set Youtube, or Gmail to looks nice and if someone set some apps to looks better on smartphone it would be nice to share this settings :)

Samsung Galaxy S2/CM10.1

Trebuchet: DPI189 / xlarge res

Google Play Store / DPI139 / Font scale 70 / 600x1024 / xlarge / fullscreen

Gmail (this shows left panel) / DPI 139, 800x1280/ xlarge / fullscreen

Google Reader / DPI149 / fontscale 90 / 1000x1600 (you can check xlarge too if you want feed in 2 columns but it shows sometimes images and it looks crap for me)

Dolphin Browser (home page shows thumbnails) / 169DPI/ Fontscale 110/ 1000x1600 / xlarge

Instagram / 160DPI

com.android.settings / 160dpi

com.android.contacts / 182DPI

YouTube (homepage shows 2 columns, and on landscape view there is right panel with more videos) / 139DPI / fontscale 80 / 1000x1600 / xlarge / fullscreen

Share your settings to favourite apps! :)

use Bala_Gamers Modded keyboard for 240dpi. xposed does not seem to be able to mod the keyboard properly I got the same result.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] MU24R:
How can i complete uninstall xposed?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
I have just looked into the troubles with custom DPI for keyboards. What I noticed is that the whole keyboard scales, with the result that it is either too small or too large for the available space. However, the key presses are still handled as before. In the source code, KeyboardView has a complex way to draw itself. I'm not even sure if the rendering is completely done in the keyboard process or how it is integrated into the system.

In short: I don't recommend to change the DPI of the keyboard. I don't see much sense in that anyway as the available space is quite fixed.

In the Xposed Installer, click "cleanup". Then uninstall the Xposed Installer and any modules you might have installed.

Re: Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version

The keyboard has to match something else (forgoot what ) that's why its messed up
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nerys71:
you MUST change the DPI of the keyboard its a "fixed scale" object so it will either be too small at 240dpi OR in this case it just flat out crashes.

bala by hand modified it to display to the correct "scale" at 240dpi.

DO NOT uninstall xposed as you can use it to "FIX" all the other 240dpi issues (calculator dialer camera multiscreen alarm etc.. etc..)

just reset keyboard back to stock (320dpi) and then install bala_gamer's mod (the full one if your sprint ie full apk) flash it and the keyboard will be good (but will NO LONGER work at 320dpi!! so backup your file)

I set my entire system to 240dpi. installed the keyboard mod so it displays correctly at 240dpi.

then I used xposed to reset calculator camera alarm sidepanel alarm and dialer back to 320dpi so they work properly.

I also set gmail to 200 and parcels to 160. I like gmail at 160 but its just too small 200 was the best I could do and still be able to read it :)

so far all other apps work fine at 240.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
When you say "keyboard" - which one do you mean? The Samsung one? Because I think all others scale properly without any changes. I've been using Swiftkey 3 for a long time and no matter which DPI I use, it looks fine without any need for changes.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nerys71:
any keyboard "NOT" designed for one specific device should scale as needed.

we are talking about the built in STOCK note II specific keyboard. its designed for the note II so there was no reason to designed it for other resolutions.

swiftkey and swipe and the 4.2 keyboard etc.. all will work fine.

but I like the NOTE II keyboard with its number row and sub keys for all keys. very nice keyboard.

Xposed doesn't work on latest SIII firmware XXEMR2, it worked great on older. Tried reinstalling.

Any ideas? Tnx.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
Thanks for the information. However, if you expect a solution, I will need more details. As you mentioned that it worked for you earlier, I assume you know how to install it and. But what exactly do you mean with "doesn't work"? Was the installation successful? Did you see any error messages? Might this be limited to certain modules or did you try multiple ones, so it could really be Xposed (= the framework) which doesn't work for your ROM? Can you check in /data/xposed/debug.log if there are any messages that sound like an error? If so, please attach that file.

If everything looks fine, but you still don't see any effect, I can only offer to look at a logcat of the booting process. That might give a hint if there is something going wrong in the background.

Re: Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version

Was redirected here. Hopefully this time I'm in the right thread :o

So you guys said that the mis-scaling only applies to stock keyboard and SwiftKey should be okay. But I can't find a setting that is neither to big nor small. I attached two screenshots, the other one's 240dpi and the others 160. Changing the resolution makes no difference whatsoever :eek:

My system wide dpi is 160 and I have a SGS2,not GNote!

Cheers.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
Hi again. ;) Well, what's wrong with the second picture (I assume that's 160dpi)? That looks fine to me. Any takes exactly the screen width, so how could it get any bigger while still showing completely?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ArmorD:
Re: Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version

It's quite small. I wish there was a possibility to make it the same size as it normally is, half the screen. The small version is better than the huge one but this is hard to use with such small screen size.

Sent from my premium leather sofa
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
Ah ok, so you mean the width should stay the same (= as wide as the screen), but the height should change? I'm using Swiftkey 3, which has two options to define the keyboard height. Aren't they available in your version (extended settings)?

The thing is, many dimensions in keyboards seem to be calculated. There are many different ways to determine the screen size or other metrics, it's possible that not all are overridden by App Settings. It's especially hard to do when apps get this data from the WindowManagerService, which runs in the system, without adjustments. I spent half an hour trying to figure out how which factors are involved, but no success. As I don't have the source, this is not so easy and I don't want to spend too much time on this... if someone can give hints how it works, you're welcome to make suggestions what needs to be changed.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Galaid:
By doesn't work I mean it FC on per app dpi module, when I click on any app. I tried reinstalling and clearing cache...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Do you mean the FC is on the Application Settings app, i.e. when opening it to set the configurations?

If so, please post a logcat where there should be a few lines starting with "AndroidRuntime..." which show what the problem is.

Hi all...

Thanks for your work @, reallypulser_g2 appreciate it...

I have one question to ask:

can be handled separately Contacts (com.android.contacts) and Phone (com.android.phone).

I'm on a stock rom and if I only modify contacts modify phone too.

Eg: contacts=180 and phone=240... is possible?

many Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Galaid:
Yea.

Hey,

was directed to this thread by rovo89 from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401&page=64

not sure if its the right thread to post this problem - if not do tell where do i need to post it

i'm using galaxy s3 with cfdroid v13.1 (xxema2)

with xposed framework 2.1.2

and xposed app settings 0.2

after installing everthing, rebootin, and getting into xposed app settings,

when searching for an app or selecting an app, the xposed app settings app freezes then crashes with message

"xposed app settings has stopped"

tried:

- completely uninstall xposed app settings+framework, wiping cache and dalvik then re-installing.

- wipe dalvik / cache

- fix permissions

none of the above helped.

Thanks in advance if someone could help.

i was also told to post a logcat here - frankly i don't have the slightest idea what is it nor where to find it on my phone.

Regards,

Adiel
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Yup, this is the right thread since it's a problem with the App Settings mod :)

I need the logcat to know what's going wrong. Here's an easy way to get it:

Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat

(note that there are many other alternative apps, but only some of them will work properly on JB since previously root was not required to read the logcat)

For this particular problem, the required information are lines containing "AndroidRuntime: ...", which pinpoint the point in the code where the problem is happening.

Make the error occur, then go to the logcat app and filter for this (or get everything). Upload it as an attachment to dropbox or some other place, and post the link so I can check it out.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] adiel91:
Thanks for your reply.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Done. BTW, this was already fixed after 0.2 but I hadn't yet published the fix :)

Please update to version 0.2.1, now available on the repository link.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
- Resident

Makes the app less prone to be removed from memory when not active.

Example: Phone, Contacts, Mms apps. If you enable it for them, they should be very responsive pretty much all the time, as other apps will be freed instead of these ones when memory is required for something else you run

- Insistent notifications

Activates a flag that makes the sound associated with statusbar notifications for that app LOOP continuously. It won't stop, though, so use it carefully :)

- Revoke permissions

Allows you to selectively deny one or more permissions that the package has declared to require and that it would normally get.

You can e.g. revoke the INTERNET permission and it won't be able to access the internet.

Note that this can make the apps FC in many situations, it all depends on how the app handles the lack of permissions. For INTERNET, some of the ad-based apps will just display something like "INTERNET permission missing" in the ad area but continue to work. Others will simply FC and you won't be able to revoke the permission.

The same applies to any other permission, this is just an example.

This feature woke my interest (I use Tasker for this very purpose) so I have two questions:

1) does the notification loop has a fixed interval (i.e. it sounds every 2 minutes)?

2) does the notification stop when the notification is no more (i.e. I open the notification or the app that generated it)?

Cheers and thanks for this useful app!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
It will loop the audio continuously without any interval. It stops when the notification is dismissed or opened.

Re: Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version

Can anyone recommend some dpi/res settings for the camera app?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] adiel91:
Thanks for your detailed answer!

currently facing the strangest thing.. rebooted mmy phone, and poof all app tweks are gone.

meaning every app got back to its old look before setting dpi/resolution through xposed app settings.

what's even weirder, when entering xposed app settings, every app that i've set to custom dpi/res, kept its setting, and all of them are on.

except now the setting doesn't change anything - like it won't apply at all.

of course i tried to turn off tweaks and then enabling them again - won't do anything.

really confused here :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
From the symptoms, I would say that the module is not active.

Can you double check on the Xposed Installer if it's checked in the modules tab? And also post the contents of /data/xposed/debug.log to see if the module is loaded and there aren't any errors.

Anyone know of a way to get the lockscreen to display at a different DPI and Layout. I like how the lockscreen on 4.2+ for phablet and tablets gives you more widget space and the unlock area is smaller.

Re: Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version

You need to make sure that the xml with the settings is world-readable, and since that's not the usual situation for apps' data, it's not the way that "fix permissions" leaves it.

It shouldn't, as it doesn't add any wakelocks, alarms or anything like that which could keep the CPU running. Of course, if you use the "keep screen on" option, the device will stay active, but that should be clear and is your own choice.

Okay so I added the module for phone recording but I see no difference. Is there a button, a drop down, or how do I use it? Anybody??

I am on cm10.1 jelly bean 4.2, galaxy Note 1
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
I assume that's the problem. As far as I know, the call recording stuff is not in AOSP, but an addition made by Samsung to their ROMs. They haven't enabled this for all regions or versions of their ROMs. It's simply switched off, but the code for that exists and is working. So this module just needs to turn the switch on. Obviously, if there is no such switch, because there is no such hidden functionality, it won't work.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] adiel91:
Hey,

double checked- the module is active.

log file attached. as you can see from today at 13:48

it tries to load "xposed.mods.appsettings-1.apk

than says file does not exist

i'm guessing thats the problem?

just don't know why it has oocured/why that file isn't found

awaiting your guidance :angel:

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
The problem is that at a certain point (between 05:08:37 UTC and 13:48:15 UTC) you have updated the AppSettings app. That has created a new apk called de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings-2.apk and then removed the -1 file (the package manager alternates between the 2 suffixes whenever updating existing apks).

However, you didn't wait enough time for the Xposed Installer to be notified about the package update and display the toast stating that a module update was detected and that the changes would be active after the next reboot. It displays that after updating the list of apks to load.

So solve this, simply go to the modules tab and disable + re-enable the module. It will then point to ...-2.apk and will load it properly on the next boot ;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] adiel91:
Thats odd, since i havn't updated the app settings at all.

tried what's you suggested again now (tried before also) and after reboot it does fixed.
