I'm running 320 DPI in my build prop. To fix the dialer I went into the per app DPI and changed the contacts app and phone app to stock 480 DPI and also the calculator app as well. They all run just like stock now no problems at all

Forgot to mention gallery as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SyNiK4l:
im using 360 in my build.prop. and have had no problems. only thing i had to fix was my market. which i used this market found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839871

using the correct version of the one in my current rom(hyperdrive). Dont ask me why this works. But someone else said they tried it and it worked. so i did and it worked. Sometimes ive noticed it will all the sudden on reboot, change to a different version of the market. But that has only happened a couple of times. and usually it didnt matter(most apps still showed up like normal). But i dont know that this will work the same way for everyone since it seems to be a semi flakey method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeffreycentex:
It works fine in HyperDrive RLS 4. Don't try to change the build.prop for the first boot, though. Let it boot once, then change it. Let's just say that the results were a hung device first.

I added clock back to 480 because there are issues with it.. The year view in Calendar is a bit off, but that's the only screen that doesn't work right... The Market works fine at this resolution (360). This is much easier than what I was doing before... :)

Now Touchwiz can be somewhat usable as it isn't huge gigantic text everywhere (even on the Tiny selection in Screen)

My system ui keeps crashing whenever I change anything related to Android System. Followed the directions but no luck so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeffreycentex:
That's why I just went the other way around and changed build.prop then made things larger as needed. Less problems this way...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] colton22:
I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert at this in anyway. This is just how I got it to work...

You said Hyperdrive Build 4 is working for you? I flashed it and have had nothing but troubles so far. It always hangs at SAMSUNG Custom boot screen... I have tried everything and now once I went back to my Nandroid of 3.1 it boots up with no issue, Then I go to reboot through the power menu and it hangs on that screen again.

Colton

PS I guess an easier approach also to allow most programs to stay stock would be to allow the android system to stay stock and just change what you need like the launcher...

I had the same problem about system ui... make sure you are pressing NO to the option it gives you and then reboot. I also had some DPIs that the phone just didn't like (240)... everything kept fc'ing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeffreycentex:
I had problems with the first two downloads. Then I was able to get one to work early this morning... Also note that it is supposed to be a wipe'd flash, so make sure you do the format data/cache 3 times, then format system... I generally do a flash of the rom first to make sure that there aren't problems, though, before I format system...

I only use 320, 360, and 480's as DPI's on the S4.

Your approach is the way I used to do, but I wanted everything smaller, so every time I installed a program, I changed it to 320/360.. But then I wanted 320/360 to be the overall and only make exceptions for the things that demand stock DPI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] colton22:
Understood - I didnt wipe to flash as i never did before without an issue. I am downloading stock ODIN now as something is up with my data partition...? It hangs on every second+ boot from restore/install and will not even boot off an install. I will go to stock odin, root, recovery and then install. Also downloading a fresh copy of Hyperdrive RLS4... Thank you for the tips.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] colton22:
Found a better way!

Okay so I am now on RLS 10.2.0...

Download some type of Root file manager... I paid for/use Root Explorer love it.

Navigate to /system and long press build.prop

Find the line that contains screen density =480 and change it to your desired DPI (I am using 280)

From there all apps/everything is changed to that dpi... some stock apps you will have to use xposed to change them back to 480 just to make it work because they show different resolutions horribly.

I followed these steps...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269483

works great! Enjoy.. Also on the Multi DPI stock app post, the only one that works with the Verizion phone is the Gallery S4 v2.zip file... The others I am trying to work with the dev on getting up and running for our phones.

i guess you want to install some custom boot image without using fastboot.

if you rooted your device you can copy your boot.img file to your sdcard and flash it with the command

flash_image boot /path/to/your/boot.img

in terminal emulator (after becoming root with su)

please be careful, you could brick your device using false boot.img files.

have some backup of your old one at hand in case you want to undo your flashing.

you need a custom recovery to flash your boot backup in case your device doesnt boot any more.

I would suggest an app called Greenify but it shouldn't be a solution. However, what I can suggest it for you to go into settings/data and disable the apps that tend to connect to the net in the background. Furthermore, install BBatteryStat and look for partial wake lock and see what apps keep waking your device. Once you understand what's using up resources you can mention them here and we can help you solve accordingly.

Hello,

I've searched many topics but still didn't work :(

My NT 16GB worked good till today. Today I want to flash a new ROM (CM10.1 rc5).

I though I made a mistake from here: from ROM Manager, I flashed the CWM to 6.0, but I might flash with Nook Color version :crying: and from this time, my NT is ALWAYS boot into recovery mode.

- I tried press Power and N button or 8 times fail reboots but it still boot into recovery

- I tried flash new ROM from sd card, and the status is shown Installing Update.... and then it shown Install from sd card completed!!! There was no any notification more (as usual). And after "completed" by this way, reboot and still went into recovery mode again :eek:

- I also tried flash new cwm version 6.0.x, wipe data, format system, data,.... and flash ROM again from sdcard but still didnt work.

- I also tried reset to factory default http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 but it still boot into CWM again and again.

- and follow many topics on google search but still no luck :(

please anyone can give me a hint, let me see the way to escape the recovery screen :crying::crying: thank you so much!

I want to flash a new ROM, a fresh tablet to make a gift for my dad on father's day, but it is brick :crying::crying::crying:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
I think using ROM manager to flash recovery may not work with our device (I may be wrong) but we don't have an official build of CWM.

Regardless.... Do you have adb set up? If so, does it recognize your nt?

Sent with my Dinc4G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] h a l t:
I have adb set up, but it doesn't recognize my NT :(, it always boot to recovery mode :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
Ok, no big deal yet. Lets try the following.

First you are going to need an extra SD card, one greater than 2G. Go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14 and follow the instructions. This will give you the files and show you how to make a CWM bootable SD card (ignore all the steps about rooting your device in this thread for now). Note that this will repartition your SD card, so you will not be able to use is for much else unless you re-repartition it yourself.

To tell if this is successful or not, note the version of CWM you are now booting into, I am guessing it will be 6.0.3.1 (newest version) since you tried getting this from Rom Manager. If it is booting from SD card it should show up as version 5.0.x.x (I don't remember the exact version but it is older).

If you got it to boot from SD card then lets pull an updated version of CWM from this site http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery The older version of CWM may not work well with CM10.1. try CWM 6.0.2.9, make sure you download the flashable CWM zip and not the image file.

OK now you will need to put this zip file onto your SD card - there should be just enough room left for it, or you could put it onto a 2nd SD card (easier) Note: while in recovery you can take the bootable SD card out of your NT. Go ahead and flash the CWM zip. You should now have a working recovery. At this point try flashing a ROM of your choice.

Good Luck
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] h a l t:
Hello DavDic,

Thank you for your help,

I follow your link and I success to boot from SD card, and CWM version is 5.0.5, then I success install the update.zip too, unfortunately after removing the sd card and reboot, it still boot to CWM version 6.0.2.9 :( - this is the version that I flash from ROM Manager before my NT is bricked (I flashed wrong device when I choose Nook Color in Rom Manager)

So I try to reboot again from sdcard, cwm version 5.0.5, then flash new CM10.1 ROM, and reboot and still go to CWM 6.0.2.9 :(

and again, I boot from sdcard, cwm version 5.0.5, flash to new cwm version 6.0.2.9, flash new ROM and still boot to CWM screen :(

So, I can create and boot from a Sdcard, But can not boot to OS, always go to cwm 6.0.2.9 screen (that I think the wrong file since I flash from Nook Color file ). Thank you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I think your problem most likely has to do with BCB/BootCnt not getting reset properly, as described at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1.

If so, the easiest way of resetting these files is to flash Succulent's flashable_fix_bootloop.zip at his repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
You need to try and get an adb connection. I assume you are running Windows, if not............

But, what happens when you plug your NT into your computer. Do either of your drives (Internal/external SD) show up in my computer?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] h a l t:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
You should have an adb connection then. Before you jump into the total wipe attempt, try getting an adb connection. Use this first and see if it works http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36650082&postcount=171

You will need the driver files for this though, let me know if you don't have them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] h a l t:
Yes I have the driver files, on device manager it shown Android Phone ADB interface, something like this, and what is the next step please...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
You should have adb access given what you just said.

Are you familiar with command prompts and adb commands?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] h a l t:
yes I have adb access from Dos, but don't know which command to fix my problem. Thanks so much for your patience, still googling :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
Well this is a start at least.

I think Digixmax may be on to something though.

[MENTION=3511186]digixmax[/MENTION], I am at work and don't have an NT in front of me, do you remember which partition the recovery is in. I wanted OP to see if those two files were even there. He may have gotten rid of them completely inadvertently.

F5, F5, ..... I see the light at the end of the tunnel,... God, what is the adb, shell command to help me escape this trouble :angel::angel:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
These two files are in the /bootdata partition (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for a list of the NT partitions and their content).

But if OP's flashing Succulent's flashable_fix_bootloop.zip (which basically re-install a fresh copy of these two files) didn't fix the problem then he might have wiped out some other critical components of the system.

[HTC One V] agentms11:
Hello, I am on an HTC One V running PACman ROM 15.3, with the kernel JmzPrimoC+.

I started having this problem a couple weeks ago. It would randomly unmount my SD card saying 'SD card unexpectedly removed'.

This started to happen more and more often until it would say that as soon as I put the SD card in.

I did a factory reset, which helped for about 5 minutes before it started happening again. Now, more recently, it started saying 'Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.'

I put it in my computer (which doesn't show anything wrong with it), and did a full format. It didn't help at all.

This problem is happening with both my regularly used SD card (SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ UHS-I 32 GB (the red and grey one)), and my ordinary SD card (8 GB class 4 Kingston).

I don't think this can be a hardware problem because when I boot to recovery, TWRP recognizes it perfectly.

But I don't either see how its a software problem, because a factory reset should have helped...

Please help me, any help will be greatly appreciated.
[HTC One V] strauts:
Maybe its a bug in the rom?

Good idea. What other ROMs work with JmzPrimoC+ kernel? AOKP?

Does this mean it must be hardware?

Is there ANYTHING I can do now?

Wow, I screwed up really bad.

I was gonna use TWRP to flash a new rom, so I did a factory reset, and then started flashing the rom.

But in middle of flashing the rom it was interrupted. So I rebooted, rereset, and then I realized... it's not reading my card.

I can boot to bootloader and recovery, but that's it. No OS. I'm screwed.

Is there ANYTHING I can do?

Is it possible to flash a rom over USB? Or SOMEHOW get my card working again?

Try to partition SD Card in recovery

I am facing same issue and I came across this thread while looking for solution. Here is what I tried. That resolved issue for five minutes and then damn! same issue again but someone can find possible fix using the info here.

HTC One V rooted, currently running MIUI 3.1.2 with JB 4.1.2

Sandisk 8 GB SD Card.

Firmware CWM Recovery

I was facing same issue even before I rooted my phone while Original HTC ICS 4.0 Firmware was installed. MY observation is the problem starts few months after you start using SD Card. (Insert a new SD card in your phone, it will work fine for days / months and then will start giving same error.

While I tried thousand time to remove SD card, clean slot, clean card and reinsert, it did not work. May be worked just once for few seconds. When I tried to connect phone to PC and browse SD card contents, the card was not detected.

Booted to recovery, tried to format card, not detected. Tried to mount SD card, not detected. Then tried to partition SD card in Advanced options in recovery. The available options are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB and 4096MB. Since my SD card is 8 GB, chose the largest option. Now got an option to choose SWAP partition size. Chose 256 MB. Next chose option fix permissions, you have to wait until you see message permissions fixed message on screen.

Now rebooted phone, and voila! It worked!! SD card with 3.94GB memory is detected. But what happened to my rest of 4 GB?

Tried many apps to manage SD card from Play store. Using an app called APart, was able to delete partitions on SD card and create new ones. It worked for few minutes and then again I got SD card unexpectedly removed message.

Does this info makes any sense? I am not a developer and do not know much into phones but someone who know might be able to help. Buying a new SD card is not an option here because its going to work temporarily.

Hello,

I have a pipo s2, everything worked fine until yesterday.

The tablet didn't start, although it was charged. When I plugged in the charged the red light was on.

So I desided to open it up and dissconnect the red wire from the battery.(I saw this solution, in another foroums)

I did that and the result was that the tablet worked only with the charger on.Although the battery seems to be charging. It reached 99%.

So now, after this process the tablet is working only with the charger on....

Then after using the tablet for a while I shutted down the tablet with charger on...the result was the brick that I had from the start (not turning on, just charging). Disconnect the red wire again, and back to searching a solution.

I upgraded with another firmware that I found, but nothing happened, that problem remains...

Is there any possibility the problem has to be with the firmware or the kernel??

What can I do????? please help me!!!
