Ok, This one is a stupid question.

I want to change the screen resolution to 1280x720. is that possible??
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] satishenl:
Thank you for the awesome post. My XZ looks fantastic....

I was also thinking on the same lines, as I might get the MIUI V5 rom installed :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Spikestrip:
I am embarrassed I didn't find this on my own. I really like the stock launcher, but couldn't stand that I get so little room for icons on this giant and impossibly sharp screen. I have terrific vision, so small icons and text are no problem. Thanks for sharing something I should have found seconds after rooting my phone.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:
All is well on 320 dpi, the phone is on phablet mode by the looks of it, similar layout to Xperia Z Ultra. This makes optimum use of the 5" FHD display. The only problem being the dialer missing the call button in portrait mode, whereas in landscape mode its fine. To a lesser extent the Google Now shortcut seems a bit out of place.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
works very well thanks for sharing..

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

This might be stupid , didnt dare to try ,

there is a entry in the build prp saying ro.hwui.external set to 1080 X 1920 changing this to 1280 720 will work ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
That is for external... HDMI...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
just to avoid all hassle i use a dialer app which replaces the stock dialler and looks exactly like the stock one tooo ;)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Spikestrip:
Name or link or both?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
Dialer one

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Spikestrip:
Cool! Thanks.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] demonicangell™:
alternatively u can just replace the phonebook apk from the one from z ultra .
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
The dialer and phonebook support 320 now in the latest .243 version.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Madala_ZA:
Thanks for this info. Do you mean the dialer is multi DPI or that it's specifically 320?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
It was the first time I ever tried this, I had read earlier posts that said they'd issues with the dialer and phone book. I tried it and everything worked. I tried 320 because it's the same as the Ultra. I haven't tried others but I imagine it's would work best with DPI settings that are available on other devices in the range.

Can anyone share the Phonebook.apk of the Z Ultra?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Madala_ZA:
+1
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
Are you both having issues with your Dialer and Phonebooks ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Madala_ZA:
Dialer is not multi DPI. It gets smaller with decreased DPI, and leaves a gap on the right side of the screen
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:
Missing the call button while in portrait orientation, rest all is flawless
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
What DPI are you using and what FW ?

I'm 320 DPI on FW 10.3.A.0.423 DoomKernal V13
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:
320 dpi stock deodexed 244
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
I need to pay more attention.. yes my Green call button is missing too, I didn't notice because all the time I dial from the phonebook. Everything else fits though.

So has anyone got the dialer from the Ultra Z ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Don MC:
Has anyone managed to get stock density (480) keyboard to work with 320? I've tried Xposed and AppSettings module, but the keyboard is always messed up in some way. Either it's too big or too small, or it has certain function keys missing etc.

If I leave the keyboard at 320, it's way too tiny.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:
Use the honami keyboard, it fits perfectly well on 320dpi
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] demonicangell™:
Z ULTRA PHONEBOOK

move to system/apps and set permissions ... :good:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Don MC:
Thanks. Can someone point me to a Honami Keyboard that works on odexed stock rooted .244?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
Tried this and i'm just getting a FC , should there be an .odex file as well ?

OK, so I removed the oder file and it works now.

It's working ok but I don't like the borders.

I tried it, it works but you've to remove the odex file. It's still got a narrow dialer...

yes it works .. i am not on odex rom so it works fine for me ..

i told u before use the app settings module and the settings i posted previous comment to get rid of those edges :good:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] demonicangell™:

How did you get this to work? The keyboard is the only thing bugging me with this 320 density mod.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:

Hey guys, now that z is on 4.3 I've applied this tweak again... Everything works well except when I get a call incoming, the layout is messed up... Anyone know a way to fix it? I tried the phonebook.apk from earlier in this thread but it didn't work :(
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zombiej79:
Easier way to do this is with xposed modules and app settings also there us a xperia z dialer that works with lower dpi I can't remember where I found it though or I would link it
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
Does xposed require recovery? I don't want to be messing about too much
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Kallb123:
It requires root, but not recovery. If you can get root without recovery then you can get xposed too :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
I have root without recovery, on stock UK generic. I've installed xposed, but cannot for the life of me get this incoming call layout fixed.

Even tried phonebook from ZU from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625935 but that not working either :(
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zombiej79:
Only other way is to set all the phone apk to 480
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
Tried it, doesn't work.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zombiej79:
Hmm strange that usual does it for me. Try in app settings setting it to 1280x800 or the others see if that helps

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

Have you tried clearing data on phone and contacts?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
The only things that change is contacts/phonebook, the call screen always stays the same...

Call screen always looks like this no matter what dpi/resolution I set the phone/phonebook apps.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] msc3169:
Its pretty simple, all u need to do is replace some files from the 4.3 ZU rom:

system/app

SemcPhone.apk

SemcTelephonyProvider.apk

system/framework

Telephony-common.jar

Telephony-msim.jar

And set correct permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. No need to replace phonebook.apk as the one from stock Z scales perfect for 320dpi.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] defsix:
Use the XposedMod AppSetting to change the DPI back to 480DPI and screen(dp) to 320x480. Apply it to:-

com.android.systemui.product.res.overlay

Contacts

Phone

Phone Contact

Phone/Messaging Storage

Reboot.

And you should be fine.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
Yes, this has worked, not needed on contacts app though.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnnnn1:
The phone is 4 months old, I abused it at first (general usage + heavy games (dark knight rises, asphalt 7hd, deadzone, etc).

I then rooted it, installed custom roms eg FoxHound/WanamLite, used stock kernel until I tried Yank, Siyah and Boeffla. One of them, I can't remember which one, gave me about 24h battery time (over a month ago) with gps on, decent screen time (~2h-2.5h) wifi 40% of the time.

Now I don't know what happened but my phone just went mad. I barely get 10h with 1-2h screen time, mostly 3g, gps off, screen timeout 15s.

I am not using auto brightness anymore, I've got it set on the lowest by default, to make sure it stays at its darkest. I tried siyah with the extreme battery config. I'm now running boeffla with zzmove battery; all I adjusted was the sound profiles.

It drops by about 10% in 30 mins only from texting/browsing on wifi. My ram usage doesn't go pasy 650, it usually stays at ~580.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchindalia:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingocr83:
If you have a custom recovery, wipe data, cache the whole bit...reinstall a fresh ROM..should solve the problem, seems the phone is awake more than it should...something went crazy software side...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnnnn1:
I am currently using wanamlite 6.2 with boeffla kernel set on zzmove battery profile. I haven't tried a different battery and I had ~24h life with a custom rom based on the official firmware, FoxHound (not the official firmware).

I realized the phone stays in deep sleep for very little, about 5-6%.

I attached some screens, do you see anything that could cause this problem? I'd rather leave factory resetting as a very last resort ..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Hi !

Here's an application to install and uninstall TWRP 2.4.3.0 recovery on locked bootloaders Xperia Z. It's stable on my Xperia Z, but i highly suspect some partition (system) problems with Xperia ZL phones.

This application will install TWRP recovery ramdisk to system as "recovery.tar", but you can provide your own recovery (ramdisk) by placing it to "/sdcard/XZRecovery.tar". This way this application could be compatible with other recovery or devices.

TWRP recovery ported to Xperia Z by krabappel2548 !

If you don't know which file to use, download XZRecovery-1.0.apk, install it and run it.

The recovery will get lost each time you flash a rom or wipe system partition.

XZRecovery.apk

Install, uninstall and reboot to recovery from your Android device

twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked.zip

Install recovery from windows (ADB)

twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked-recovery.zip

Install recovery from recovery

Hi,

i did update the first post with a recovery zip that can be installed from recovery. So you should be able to flash any (stock based) rom from recovery, including wiping system, then install this file to get recovery back (well before exiting recovery of course or you'll loose it).

By the way, did you compile it yourslef? if so i could directly add chargemon flashing in the recovery sources each time a wipe is done on system.

Unfortunatly, i don't think any case is going to be 100% bullet proof. I've dropped mine several times in my Defender, the case has a few dings and chew marks from the ground.. Phone is pristine as the day I brought it home. However, that's why I have the insurance as well.. Just of the oh sh*t moment when something does go wrong lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BigMosley:
Dang, I dropped my old Evo LTE with the defender on many times as well as my wife did and never a single scratch. I now have the defender on my S3 and pray it holds up because I no longer have Sprints ridiculously expensive insurance. I also would love to see these pictures.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woodensoul2k:
Unfortunately no case can fully protect you. Did you drop it? If you did how far of a drop was it? I will be looking for your pic post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
What did you do with the phone? In order to make a defender fall apart, you really have to do a lot of damage. And yes, while the cases are meant to protect the phone, with enough trauma any phone would break, regardless of the case. If you drop it ten stories off a roller coaster, I don't think the Defender would do too well in defending it (but if you want to get me a phone/case/admission-ticket-to-six-flags, I'll test it for you).

Correct me if I'm wrong, I've never bought an Otterbox before.... but a friend of mine told me that if you drop your phone in an Otterbox and it breaks, they (Otterbox) will replace your phone for you, for free. Or am I thinking of another case making company?

No case manufacturer will replace the phone. They will just replace the case if your within the warranty range.

I was watching shark task last night, and there is one company that sells cases and and it comes with an "insurance" plan. They'll fix any accidental physical damage caused while it's in their case, but it costs $50 and they won't send you a new phone, they'll just switch out the screen.

If I can remember the name of the company, I'll edit this post, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

I have my Otterbox Defender and I've dropped it countless times and not a scratch from these falls. the case looks poorly because of how beaten up it is but I take my phone out and people still ask me "New phone?" lol. The only damage I've seen is from dust getting under the screen protecter and causing minute scratches but I sometimes work in a very dusty and harsh environment and yet, it doesn't even look like its been exposed to much dust. The Otterbox Defender Series is just that good. I even had an issue with my case, contacted customer support, within a reasonable waiting period the new case arrived.
