[Nook Touch General] Geekeleh1:
Thanks for your reply. I am a rooting newbie. I did install the NTGAppAttack module, and have not had any crashing problems. I did do a backup with Nook Manager, but I am unfamiliar with Noogie (I wish I had known about it before I rooted) and so did not do a Noogie backup. I am tempted to do a Nook Manager restore, but I'm afraid I might brick my NST. I don't think I damaged the partition that contains the serial number since I followed the rooting instructions exactly and had no trouble doing the root. However, I don't know how to tell if I did damage the partition.

My primary reason for rooting was to be able to read a variety of ebooks on the Nook. I also wanted to learn more about rooting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik mike:
Hi, i use a Mifone Mi-A300 that runs android froyo. I recently installed chainfire 3d and its cf3d drivers but after rebooting the app wouldn't open and it prevented me from playing mobile games. i uninstalled it but its cf3d drivers still remained in the system. I decided to take a risk and removed the drivers myself but the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. without a backup (because it wasnt supported by clockwork mod recovery and TWRP).

how do i fix this?

Try connecting it to Odin and reflashing your Rom or your recovery.

thanks, but i tried looking for the rom that my device uses but i couldn't find it. apparently my phone uses a custom rom, but the only difference between the custom rom and the normal android froyo os is the system taskbar which adds another button for mobile data. where can i get a rom that fits my device description?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RogerSC:
I'm looking to put the original Verizon 4G/LTE boot animation with the music and all back into my phone that's using CleanROM 6 r2. I'm looking for either a flashable zip file, or a bootanimation.zip file that I can put in /system/media with permissions 644. I tried working with the one from here that looked like a good bet, and all I got was a blank page during boot:

http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php?2668-Kernel-Request&

Did anyone else have any luck with flashing the above boot animation, or have a source for one that might work? I've been looking for some time, and haven't found anything that works yet.

Really like CleanROM, and really liked the original Galaxy S3 boot animation as well...no accounting for taste, I guess *smile*.

I have noticed now that when I recieve a SMS message that I get the notification sound but no longer does the unit turn on and display the message like it used to. If I turn the screen on it displays the message like normal but it doesn't automagically turn the screen on. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing that changed that functionality or is that normal now?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Zviratko:
It is normal now, I prefer the new way :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ARZLEB:
Yep its normal like that and i should agree with Master Zviratko that the new way is better...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] belial:
Its a side effect of a feature/bug in 2003. Lots of applications where hit by it.

You will find that if your device is connected to AC power it will function the way it used too.

With 2003, when on battery power, it no longer just turns off the display it doesn't process applcations in the background anymore to get more battery life.

Anyhow, on a notification you get a brief spurt of processing time, then it goes away, so with 2003 applications first of all your code has to turn on the display again, bringing the device back to life.

Other apps that play sounds on notifications may not even play the full sound, depending on the length of the sound.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
When you think about this, you'll maybe see this is really the right thing to do. For instance, imagine you're running an IRC client. You would want it to receive the IRC data as it comes in, doing precisely this: keep the screen off, do a brief spurt of processing, just enough to see what's going on and maybe alert the user, and then go to sleep again.

Any other way would drain the batteries really quickly, this has a chance of keeping people online in a meaningful way all day.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Zviratko:
it still works the same way as it did, when i put a file to download and execute the ByteCounter.exe, i hear the beeps as the data flow. However, sometimes it just drops the connection.

Btw, I suspect that the Always on GPRS feature to keep the device connected during a call is just a fake! The device disconnects when making a call and then reconnnects - IP changes.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Angel-The-Hunter:
another comment

Hello,

you wrote that the device isn't switch on, when a new short message comes in. That is a problem of the Radio Stack Version. I have the PPC 2003 version 4.0.01 and Radio Stack 4.21. And I have the same feature/bug. I told to microsoft about this and they told me, that there is a new radio stack in test. This new radio stack will fix that.

[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
During school I put my phone on airplane mode and use Google Voice for text messages because it doesn't require signal. But on my new sense 3.6 Rom that I flashed there is a persistent Airplane mode notification on the lockscreen. It really bothers me... I'm wondering if there is a specific file that I could edit or delete that would prevent the notification from turning on.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You can go into system/app and rename htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.apk.bak then reboot and you will get the AOSP lockscreen, but that has no shortcut icons and is much more plain than the Sense lockscreen.

If it bothers you enough and you still want a fancy lockscreen it might be worth spending $3 on WidgetLocker.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
I want to keep the Sense lockscreen. I was just wondering if there was a way to suppress that annoying notification... I can look around and try to change the file that enables it.

an ADB Logcat should get me to the source

OK, good luck.

I've never seen a mod that removes the airplane mode indicator from the Sense lock screen but if you find one or make one yourself please share it here.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] bonstio:
This is such a simple tweak but I figured I'd share it any how...

It always amazes me how there's this badass high res screen but it ships with everything scaled up which just doesn't take any advantage of the number of pixels available.

I messed around with a few values of the "ro.sf.lcd_density" property in /system/build.prop and settled for 320 (default is 480). It does make a little on the small side but you can offset this with the regular Settings -> Display -> Font size option.

The result, is for me at least, a great improvement. I can see most of my apps in the drawer without scrolling, can see and actually read a whole website without zooming in plus the system and nav bars top and bottom now take up a much more reasonable amount of space.

Install your favorite root enabled File Explorer and mount system RW and go edit. I like http://goo.gl/NvtA8 as it runs as su & mounts system for you.

R: Simple density tweak

I suggest you to try with the value 400: I've been using it since I got the phone and is great! A lot of space but still usable everyday. But sadly this is not a stock value ( 480 320 240 and 160 are stock afaik) and this will break play store compatibility: to fix it you have to flash a multi dpi play store mod.

And yes, the phone app does not scale properly but it's not really an issue..
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] DeiphoneaAndroid:
Tried with 320 , but I got a boot loop. Locked Z , with root and CWM .

I think I will have to reflash it from the PC companion to recover it.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] bonstio:
Very strange. What does adb logcat say during your bootloop? Sure you didn't b0rk the file some how?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] DeiphoneaAndroid:
I did not look at the adb, but I'm thinking the same thing, I thing somehow the file just got corrupted ...

also after I mount R/w , twice the screen got black, reboot, root explorer, R/w and everything ok.

Once I flash with PC companion , and root it again I will try again :fingers-crossed:

Anyhow I tried also a couple of days ago with a dpi changer and the result was the same .
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Kallb123:
I used a dpi changer a few days ago and got a bootloop. This time I simply used ES FilevL Explorer and enabled root functions. Didn't need to mount anything, just change number, save and reboot :)

Seems like a big gap between 320 and 480 :/

I've been thinking if using 400, as I did try on my way down to 320 abd it looked alright, but now I know it's not stock I'm not sure. Also, would we get tablet interfaces on 400 dpi?

I opened up imdb and was greeted by a nice tablet interface :) kinda don't want to give it up :/
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
For apps that don't scale such as dialer I use xposed and app settings module.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] pvillasuso:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
Set the dpi per app to the original 480 for each of the particular app such as contacts (dialer), contacts import, phone, phone contacts and phone storage and semc task switcher.

which don't scale properly at a lower res.

Pls pls pls share your settings for exposed, meaning all the packages with modified settings list with the applied parameters. Would be worth a million thanks.

Story is i've applied 320 dpi via build prop and everything is perfect but the dialer is coorupt. So i installed xposed and the module, hanged the dpi for the phone and contacts apps to 480, but when i open the dialer, it has ne dial button and the soft keyboard pops up...

Once again, i would really appreciate if one of you gus who reported everything to work ok could share all the relavant details i/o for me to reproduce.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] flamingsamurai:
I got these set to 480 and the dialer looks pretty good for me:

Contacts

Contacts Import

Contacts storage

Phone

Phone Contact

Phone/Messaging Storage

I'm not sure how many of these actually relate to what you're seeing on screen, someone else will hopefully clear that up, but at the moment this is what is working for me.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
So you only changed dpi parameter in the app settings, nothing more? And the soft keyboard doesn't pop up? Contact pics are ok, etc?

I'll give your list a run. Meanwhile, could you be kind enough to post some screenshots of what you've got to compare?

Oooook... tried yours. Now, the dial button still missing and the soft keyboard pops up...

What dpi did you set for the system?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
Just experiment till you find something you like!

Change nothing but phone and contacts to 480 dpi, l leave everything else at default

With the incall screen you may need to reboot to see the changes
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Doing that for 3 days now with no luck :(

Guess it's time to ask for help from professionals.

If someone apk dissassemble-modify-reassemble is reading this, can you pls modify the the misfortunate diale apk to support 320 dpi of the system? I've seen the sort of thing done over at the sammy note forums, but i don't feel proficient enough to do it myself.

Gratitude and appreciation is guaranteed, as using the xz at stock 480 is misuse of the hd display capabilities imho

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

As an update. If set the build prop density to anything over 360, e. G. 361 already works. Then all is ok.

So there must be some package that has to be set to 480 and we have a winner. I noticed that all values 360 and below give phablet ui's to apps here and there.

Now question is, what should be modified to have density below 360 (which i like a lot) and not scre up the phone app.

Devs, anyone?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Kallb123:
Was there something wrong with using that Xposed framework? After someone brought it up I switched to that and had no problems since. You can set every app dpi individually. I just have build.prop as 480 and set things like Tapatalk and most other apps down to 320-380. Phone app is never effected. Also, market compatability isn't effected at all.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
I want everything smaller :)

It would be a pain to scale everything down to 320...

+ now it is sort of a quest to find out what is the problem with dpi below 361 and why isn't xposed solving it like it does above 361.

Ok. Boys and Girls.

i've succeeded at making the phonebook aka the dialer look normal at 361 dpi.

this is to be pushed to system/app with setting the rw-r--r-- permissions as usual.

this is tested to work on stock odex rooted generic 434 f/w. the phonebook seems to be deodexed in stock

My phone is set to through the build.prop @ 360dpi. But for some reason even when set the phone and contacts back to 480 it doesn't fully do it.

Btw i actualy like the smaller dialpad shifted to the left as i use my left hand to dial number and its easier for me to reach all of the buttons with one hand :)
