This is not my work...these files are from the international note2 & gs3 which are both exynos devices. I tested the apks listed below and they work just fine on the I605 Note 2. If you are running 240dpi you will notice some of the apps are not sized correctly...this mod will fix that. Must be flashed in CWM recovery! Not all of the apk's in the thread links are compatible...MAKE A BACKUP Before Flashing!

LINK(*do not use the flashbar.apk or launcher.apk they do not play nice from this link)

LINK2

*Here are the 240 dpi apk's for folks who do not have a custom recovery! You must push this to the system/app folder..Rename the original your replacing .bak that way its easy to restore simply by removing the .bak extension.

Calculator.apk

Camera.apk

Clock.apk

Mutliwindow_Flashbar.apk(this will need to be renamed .apk before pushing to system/app)

Email.apk

Exchange.apk

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, TouchWiz launcher force closes for me. Stock deodexed.

Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the TW launcher to others. I'll get over it for now, though. The keyboard is really the only thing that was holding me back from 240. I love the handwriting recognition. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] theXeffect:
Screen shot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
The flashbar service force closed, so beware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Link.:
I was actually about to edit my post with that; I can confirm that it doesn't play nice with that, either. I tested the stock multi-window and the one that allows you to control which apps you can use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
I'm currently using the later since I didn't have a backup of the original.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Could you please post the camera and calculator APK's Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
thanks guys...ofcourse the only 2 apks i didnt test do not work lol. op updated to reflect that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
click the link read the thread...its not my work so im not posting all of that. just passing along info!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
No. The 240 DPI ones. I don't have CWM loaded so I can't flash the zips :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Anyone have a guide on how to change three dpi within the app. Cannot go without one handedness any longer lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Awesome! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdedeaux:
i ran 240 on beans 3 last night, everything was groovy except the multi window sidebar, Calculator and Camera (which there are fixes for in this OP). Also, clock FC's in 240 mode and the AOSP lock screen is off center. Lockscreen is fine because we can just use TW lockscreen in the meantime, but for me having to use alarms i like the factory clock vs using an alarm from the play store. Hopefully we can get some 4.1.1 fixes for the ones mentioned! no rush though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
guess im the only one that likes oem samsung one handed keyboard....ugh i wish i knew how to fix it :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
back up before you flash things...then its easy to fix :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brodypie:
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the clock app to make it work with 240dpi? I had to use a 3rd party app to set an alarm hahahah thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
fixed see op :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brody08:
THanks for the quick fix sir! Really loving the N2 CREW

now if I could just get the AOSP MMS apk with emoji support to stop froce closing when i get or send a pic i would be all set!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Droidstyles...obviously. I mean I wush I knew what apk it is and how to decompile and edit the xml to fix it. And I would which is why I asked for a guide. Lol not going back to 320 dpi so back up doesn't matter atm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
try the mutliwindow flashbar.apk I posted...works for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Ahh I see...posts with more detail always help...Im no mind reader :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Awesome work! Thanks!

Weird, Clock is FC'ing on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
wipe app data for the clock...same thing happened to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyber_pete:
Thanks, couldn't figure out why the clock kept Fc'ing. How does the desk clock look for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
looks fine to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdedeaux:
I tired 240 but had to switch back. Can't seem to find s working keyboard 4 Samsung and fix for beans aosp lock screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qwerty017:
Tried the clock and it was force closing on me. Wiped data so now it at least opens but it still closes when trying to add an alarm. Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] smw420:
Exact same thing for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Multi Window won't flash in twrp..meh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
no ****...please read the instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Haha I tried to find them and didnt lol...opened the zip and realized it was apk structure. Haha remaned. Oblivious. My bad lol -_-x

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Just looked through the entire thread again. No where does it mention that the multiwindow download needs to be renamed from a .zip to .apk....maybe you didnt realize the multiwindow_flashbar.apk link really leads to a download called flashbarservice.zip....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes that one needs to be renamed .apk then it should work. thanks for pointing that out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
No prob d-styles. I'm gonna work on decompiling the one handed apps tonight. Hopefully one handed operation is within the apk and not the framework dimens.xml
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
Should we be renaming camera.apk to the samsung name or are these apks not the right ones to use for beans?

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

nvm - saw another thread while searching for "240" that had the flashables from the sprint variant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
the links in the op are all you need. no the only one that needs renamed is the multi window.apk. if you have cwm recovery just flash them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
sweet! maybe we can get a mod to hijack the second post and you can post em there...that way we can keep them all in one thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Im also going to edit Photoshop to show all features properly @ 240 as currently the application only shows full GUI at 200dpi or smaller. I will provide edited XML files but you will have to inject the files to your apk on your own as I will not provide liscensed apps.

Ill also try to work on 240dpi of the gs3 photo editor. So 6 apps should make a busy weekend rewriting xmls...we will see what I can do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Did you guys rename it to ClockPackage.apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qwerty017:
No. Just flashed zip in twrp as I didn't see anything in the OP saying it needed to be renamed. Do we need to rename it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
no...nothing needs to be renamed if your flashing the apk in recovery. if you have no custom recovery and manually pushing the apk to system/app then the multiwindow.apk needs to be renamed before pushing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Damn its so hard to decide....

320dpi(hell no)

240dpi(word)

200dpi(daaaaamnn sweet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
I have gotten Xposed Tweakbox working on beansrom.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/15uhhecmarl0bdp/XposedInstaller-ICS_JB-rc2.apk

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3v85gxlhy3qgwf/XposedTweakbox.apk

... basically if you add at line of code such as

<int value="320" name="dpioverride/com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator/density"/> (density)

to the data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.tweakbox/shared_prefs/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.tweakbox_preferences.xml

this sample line of code can be used for any DPI. it will basically enable us to not have to edit any of the samsung APKs. But instead enables a feature similar to Paranoid android, where you can create a line for any application installed on your device to run at any DPI you want, while your system runs off the DPI of your build prop. For example I run my system at 200dpi, however now with Xposed, SamsungIME.apk(the keyboard) will run at 320dpi leaving onehanded operation fully functional. This can be done with all apps. Have fun. All credit goes to rovo89. All I did was find it and test it out. Let me know if you guys have questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
This sounds like a great solution! Maybe default stuff such as the keyboard that looks good in 320. I'm not entirely sure what the correct yen tax would be for them.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

That should read syntax not yen tax.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
The line to add to prefs xml is for the keyboard would be

<int name="dpioverride/com.sec.android.inputmethod/density" value="320" />
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerkface80:
Not having any luck getting this to work, but it sure looks promising! I tried a few apps for the xposed framework that provided a gui for setting individual app dpis, but none that work on beans' rom so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
That seems to have worked, but the Samsung keyboard is behaving badly. (it's oversized) There seems to be some trickery involved with it to get that top row of numbers. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
You are right. I've played around with it sorrybfor misleading. I got the dialer and calculator to work running at 200dpi

But the keyboard as someone else posted...is well oversized..guess ill go back to editing the XML files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerkface80:
Does anyone have a modified dialer/contacts apk that works for 240 dpi? I've tried a few with no success. The stock apk works fine for now, it just looks a little funny shrunken down at 240. The rest of the apps posted have been working really well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
And voila

Build.prop at 320. Per app dpi set to 200 on all other apps except keyboard

Temp fix atleast until I can properly edit the layout xmls
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
Ok, how did you do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Set build prop back to 320. Then used

http://db.tt/qGoYqvgW

Xposed per app dpi. To set systemui and other programs I like ranging from 200 to 280 dpi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
that app just force closes for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
That's pretty much what I did - the file was posted earlier in this thread. Can you please post the contents of your XML file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Same for me.

Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Galaxy Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
Ok - so you went the opposite way, setting the system to 320 then setting each app differently. What I really want to do is just set the system to 240 then set each Samsung app that doesn't play well at 240 to 320. The keyboard seems to be the only holdout. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Same here. Its what I would prefer to do as well but I've yet to find out which xml files change one handedness. Like I said temporary fix until I can get it worked out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RWerksman:
You need to install both programs, then click go into the xposed installer, install, then you can use the tweakbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerkface80:
This worked beautifully for me. Thanks for posting it! It feels like I have all the benefits of PA while staying on a touchwiz rom.

Quick question: did you set any other system components to 240 besides systemui? I noticed there is a small gap between the notification bar and the rest of the screen, just wanted to make sure I want missing anything.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Still trying to figure that out. Believe its because framework isnt included...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerkface80:
Yeah, install the Xposed framework app, run it, then install the framework from within the app. Restart your phone. Then install the Per App apk, and then go back to the Xposed App and enable the Per App app under modules. Restart your phone again. Now you can go to the Per App app and start playing around with the dpis. This works for me on CleanRom 3.5, don't know about Beans' or any other roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Yea ..I said that. What I was saying is you cannot include the framework-res.apk aka system.uid.android in the settings for dpi as it runs off of build prop. Which is the answer as to why he was getting the small gap at the top between the systemui bar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerkface80:
Ahh my bad, I mixed up usernames when I responded. Thanks for the answer though, the gap isn't a real big deal, nothing I can't live with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
No prob homie ;) enjoy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
How about tablet mode, will that kick in also?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Bump. Thanks again for these. Still find myself digging back through the themes section to find this thread. No doubt, this phone was made to run at 240 DPI and under. Looks so much better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SilentO:
thank you

Hi all,

just reporting here ... Camera and FlashBarService (funcky look though but ok still) work here on galaxy note 2 n7100 running MIUI 3.2.22

switched to 240density, backup existing apks, downloaded apks, pushed to /system/app, chmod 644 on apks and that's it

Small issue, after I shot a photo, when I click on the miniature on the botom left, I'm not taken to anywhere (expected to be taken to a gallery showing camera pictures)

No nig issue thoug, thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
I know it's been a while since this was posted but in case anyone is still reading this thread I thought that I would throw it out there that I am running ^this^ scenario on Beans v11 and it's working just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Yeah either way works. Lately I've just been using Xposed as well, and just changing my main apps to 240 and leaving everything else as is. I notice a lot of times fixing permissions makes everything go back to stock, even though the settings are still there in the app settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RavenY2K3:
Has anyone managed to find a fix for the gap at the top of the screen when you change the DPI of SystemUI.apk?

T.I.A.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
You have to change the dpi of 4 places to get rid of the gap

1. systemui

2. android system

3. settings

4. settings storage.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
The best way to do this is set your build prop to the dpi you want, then set stock applications to 320 or use bala_gamers samsung mods. Pm me if you need help! Or google it :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donbudafuko:
Ok well I tryed that an it just came up with alot of fc...an iv tryed bala_hamers mod but im not sure it just aint coming out right.. I dint know if im not doing it right or what....if u can send me step by step instruction on how an what mods to use with the galaxy note 2 that would be awsome

I have been looking for a lower dpi version of the stock email application and would love to try this out. It looks like the links for the Email.apk and Exchange.apk are the same (both point to the Email.apk file). Has anybody else gotten this to work successfully with the provided links?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craleb:
Any app I've changed dpi on I use these settings. Seems to work for me. Except messaging I keep front size at 100. But always 600x1024.

Maybe it will help someone. :)

Also if it's still not working mKe sure you have the framework not only installed but make sure the xposed app module is ticked.

How do you disable the ICS screen lock ring but leave the pin device lock on?

Looking and searching but I cannot find a real answer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lifehacker7:
U mean u want the pin lock type of lock screen? Do it under security settings (lock screen type) , u put the pin lock thing, the slide locker goes away.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
You're right, but that's the way it works for AOSP ROMs. OP is asking about a HTC Sense 4.1 ROM and it's lock ring lockscreen. That doesn't go away even with a PIN code/Pattern lock set. Each time the screen is turned on, the lock screen shows by default and I don't think there's any way to turn it off. The security lock kicks in after it's defined time, but the lock screen always appears on turning on the screen.

OP: Try asking in your ROM thread. AFAIK there's no way to disable the lock screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
Good point, this rom does have the option to enable AOKP lock screen, but it will result in reboots upon incoming call :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbobombo:
Hey guys

My previous phone was the galaxy ace which had like less than 200mb of ram and the S3 has 1GB

The thing is that I had installed the same apps of the ace which I now use on the S3 and the S3 ram is full... 30-40mb free.

It used to be the same thing with the ace but it is understandable as it has less ram but how is this in the S3 with so much memory?

I have around 100 apps installed... Even in the ace I had that many with partitioning the sd card

I'm on PACman rom so the inbuilt Samsung apps are absent.

How so much memory drain? :confused:

Thank you for your reply :)

I don't know if this will work, but here's what I'd try:

can you get into CWM recovery?

if so, do a complete backup, then wipe caches, factory reset, then boot, disable screen pattern lock, then try going back to CWM and restoring only the data partition?

If you try it, please post a follow up.

Just found this out. Press and hold the notification and then hit "App info". Then, hit force stop. It says Android system, but it seems to really only be the notification that you stop. You'll have to do this every time you reboot, but is worth the 2 seconds.
