TW DPI

Has anybody using a Touchwiz rom found a way to succesfully modify the DPI of the Touchwiz lock screen icons? All of the tw icons have some code framework that stops them from scaling nicely using simple things like Xposed Framework > App Settings module.

I've been all over Google and the forum. I find a good amount of people asking the same questions and then threads die because it's not a super simple task such as simply using App Settings or a global dpi.

I know it's off topic but i just wanted to ask a group of people using a current TW rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fatbas202:
I had this problem as well and finally gave up on the stock lock screen. Widget Locker is better in almost every way and you can add shortcuts to your screen just like you can on stock. App Settings will scale the DPI for that app and you can make it very "high resolution" compared to the rest of the ROM. I'm using Dash Clock on it with a DPI setting of 360 and it works well.

No HDR?

Am I the only one who notices while using the camera that HDR mode has no effect whatsoever? It may just be me or it actually may be a bug. Can someone please test this and share with me their take on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
Thanks for the input but I actually bought Widget Locker in the past because I use Nova, not very impressed with it. I just decided to go back to a Google Edition rom. TW is ok but I conclude i have more options lost than gained on TW. Kind of annoying that Samsung has the framework built as they do instead of just using normal Android framework to place widgets. Annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pupochek:
I definitely see some effect...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rcgators:
Subtle difference but it does appear to make the picture a little richer/darker.

I wanted to thank you with more than just the button click because with KK out and the oppressed Att crowd stuck on 4.3 and the FREE i9505 developement at full steam it was a generous effort to give us SS 21. This speaks volumes about your character. Farewell sir...

Now we in MK2 could flash kk verison of GE now. check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221

[MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]

just want to inform you, now MK2 user/Safestrap user could use KK version of your GE now. They could use the tool here and revise your rom with this updater-script .

The most easy way to use that update-script is here.

I used the script and installed GE24 with SS after reverting from KK to MK2. It appears to work fine, but i have no root. Superuser is there but says no su is installed. Any ideas?

This is probably a very annoying question, but even after reading the features of this rom, I still don't know if I understand the comparison of this rom to say mk2 4.3 tw rooted, wanam, and frozen stock apps? Besides kitkat as well. Can anyone help me understand?

this Rom does not include Wanams, just my 2 cents .. If your not sure of something best to leave it alone

After you flash the Rom it will make you waffles . The Rom had me at waffles ;)

Now if we could just find a Kernel that would fry up some chicken, we'd be looking at perfection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] captivated1971:
hey ib im on an att i337 and as far as i can tell idk if its the rom or the kernel but my phone isnt liking the 24 edition . at random times ill turn of the screen and try to turn it back on and itll just give me a black screen itll ha e the lights at the bottom and the bar at the top but its like it freezes up and i try to hold down the power key to reboot, and it does nothing so i have to do a battery pull and reboot . didnt have this issue with 23r1 so ive switched back to it. and to make it clear i have clean installed and cleared all caches and waited at least 30 mins before i flashed the newest taxelop kernel. and it still does it . any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jsmith8858:

Talexop 2.4 Is The Issue .. Happened To Me As Well .. I've Been Using Version 20 No Issues .. I Will Chang The Kernel In The Alternative dl section Switch To jeboos Or kt Till I Do

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
news brief 3-16-14

this rom comes with talexop 2.3 ... i added talexop version 2.4 to alternative d/l section... i have since removed it due to sod issues.. please use jeboo's or kt's if u have updated to talexops 2.4 !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buggerritt:
That's odd. I just checked my "about phone" and it says I've got talexop v2.0. Did something change?

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

It's been a while since I've used a custom kernel. But, i just flashed ktoonsez and noticed that now it's simple to apply his custom settings by downloading the profile within the ktweaker app and simply restoring said profile. How awesome is that?! Also, i notice that since flashing this, my issue with being able to swipe the screen unlocked at boot while the lockscreen is set to pin is not present anymore. I'm hoping to see better battery life too, even though I've been getting over 24 hours with 4 hours screen on time without tweaking anything on the talexop kernel. It's only been 5 minutes and maybe I'm crazy but it already seems snapper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Talexop has not changed his build number from 2.0 so 2.1 thro 2.4 still reads 2.0 ..

Something is different from 2.3 to 2.4 .. because I don't get sod from 2.3 ..

Also Ktoonsez is another option .. only reason I don't include it in the rom .. is my ocd with having kernel tweaking apks in the rom ..

Ktoonsez kernels are very good .. but again it's my oddness, I was never a custom kernel user .. now that's not to say custom kernels are bad .. There not .. I'm just a stock sorta guy .

My goal is to learn how to bypass Sammy security check used to stop older bootloader with stock kernels

But my neck is bugging me so I'm gonna have to wait

Switched to KT's kernel after SODs as mentioned with talexop.

Everything runs well enough, although still got a reboot yesterday while playing music on bluetooth and using navigation (but I can deal with that).

I have noticed my battery life has been a lot worse on 4.4. My idle drain is right where I like it at about .6%/hr, but my screen on time just burns through battery. Last night I hit 80% after 15min of screen time and only 3 hours off charger. That's only 1.25hrs of screen battery life, anybody else seeing similar results?

Have used Slim-KK, no Xposed, no rogue apps as idle is great (no wakelocks).

Thoughts? Usually I do get a bit better than 1.25hours, maybe even upwards of 2.5 but still a lot lower than I was on 4.3 and that's with a totally clean wipe on 24.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
kitkat just needs to be looked at in a different way . ill make a quick battery guide to how i setup my devices on kk .. my battery life has unchanged since 4.2

if you flash my rom, flash the att icons mod, then restore system/data itt be writting over the buildpro, try to just restore data. I looked over the build prop in the att icon pack and this is what it reads

ro.build.display.id=GOLDENEYE VER 3.0 BY iB4STiD XXUBMF8

I think its what you are restoring?... and thanks man glad youir enjoying the rom! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bigdog1:
Sorry to have bug you man. I just found the problem, I did not see that you updated all the files in the OP. I just DLed the files again and found that they have been updated to ver 3.0. I flashed the new 1 and I am good to go. THANK YOU.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BigE:
Keep in mind payment through NFC with a rooted phone is bad. To begin with Isis payment app will not install, and Google wallet may, with some mods, but note it is dawn simple to get your PIN found. Better than that, if you get hold of a phone with wallet on it, it takes 20 seconds to make a payment without knowing the PIN even (won't write how but it is a 3rd grader hack) . So security sucks, and I am sure no credit card company will accept a dispute for phone transaction if rooted.. And if they will have NFC SIM I guarantee you it won't work in a non stock, rooted phone. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll keep the phone away from payments. Android security isn't that great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robstunner:
Thanks, but again my issue wasn't trying to use NFC payments, it was that I kept getting fc pop ups randomly that's said "NFC payments has force closed"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
:good: glad its working for ya

I agree... I could see the allure, but at the same time, Im not trusting when money in concerned. I don't even like paying over the pc, I do it but I don't like it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robstunner:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
by GE i meant goldeneye, but yes i was working on the i9505g rom, I have made a 4.3 rom just didn't release it due to root issues with the kernel..

I also was playing around with the android central rom dump of ge 4.2.2, but to be honest saw no real pro's with it. 4.3 however a beta/leak runs very well... we will see what happens ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
Agree. Look forward to the 4.3 when I get back in 4 weeks (I assume someone will get 4.3 rooted by then). I am out of the country so it will be hard for me to flash. Darn it! Just keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] s1l3nt:
great rom but for some reason, WatchESPN app does not seem to work. It works on other roms and stock though. Not sure if it's just me or if it's an issue. Either way rom is running really nicely with 3minit settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:

I think your doing an awesome job!!!! If not, I am sure many wouldn't be running GE as their daily drivers. :D

Have you tried the Task 650 AOKP rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buggerritt:
In the ktweaker app (installed with the flash of kt kernel) click on profiles & scripts/ktweaker store (the first instance) from there you can download from the many user made profiles that are available (you can check "view about" on each of them to read up on the properties of it before downloading). Once downloaded, just go to *restore profile" on the main section and apply one of your choice. Personally, I chose ktoonsified v5 because that's the one with the settings ktoonsez mentions that he uses in the op of his thread. YMMV. It's worth a shot, though.

Also, did you perform a clean install? I'm assuming you did since you seem to be taking everything else into consideration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] seanpr123:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Have you set up the kernel with the ktweaker app? If not then look at CPU settings and at the very least put a check on "auto hotplugging". If not then all 4 cores are live all the time.

Battery tips and device setup and gps!- kit kat!

Here is a quick guide, with pics to how I setup my device.. this is how *I* do things, your usage and apps will dictate everything!!

battery and device setup

★ setup ur google account - screenshot

★ after signing in you will see this - screenshot and screenshot

★ uncheck all options! - use tb to backup ur /system/data apps and there data!

★ after your accounts syncs, only leave this checked - screenshot

★ but wait!! what if i add contacts along the way?. resync ur new contacts . then uncheck contacts!

★ dont like gimmicks? uncheck what you dont use - screenshot

★ dont use screen mirroring? uncheck it - screenshot

★ think you got rid of sammys gimmicks after step 6? .. nope - screenshot

★ turn off above

★ once date n time r set, turn off auto updates - screenshot

★ when not using gps .. turn it off

gps and kitkat

Q. i cant get turn by turn directions to work, its ur fault iB4STiD!!

A. drag down quick setting long press gps icon - screenshot

agree to googles demands - screenshot

change mode to high accuracy - screenshot

in closing

streaming video, and audio and heavy use of gps will kill your battery!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] seanpr123:
Yep, I didn't mention but I literally have every extra Samsung 'Feature' turned off as well.

Will look into the tweaking of KT but have never had to mess with that before. Running newest MLD modem.

I really like to streamline the ROM and cut down on running services, and just ran a BBS dump last night and no issues there. Clean install of ROM on 3/9 so plenty of time to settle.

Strange, anyway good to know you guys are seeing different results so I'll keep at it from my end.

Thanks for the quick response and tips.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] beast3300:
Try the newer 4.4 official modem dubbed NB1 also. It's far better than FMLD was. Obviously this can vary depending on location as far as modem performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] walletless:
Same here. With the tasker profiles that I had posted earlier, my battery life has been unchanged. Most of the battery is sucked up by GPS, and by having my tasker profile turn ON GPS only for apps that need it (maps, google, opentable, etc), I have managed to keep the battery life mostly unchanged from 4.2.
