The DPI being set to 370 by default is really a Slim feature. Its always been set to a lower DPI across all devices since... Probably SlimBean 2ish. Normally, there'd be an option to change the DPI within settings but the option hasn't been added yet, it seems.

system folder, change the value of lcd_density to your liking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mojolive:
Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
build.prop is a text file in the /system folder.

Look for this line

ro.sf.lcd_density=370

and change the value to 480
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zplunk:
Use a program like root explorer to edit the build prop found in: system/build.prop

The line you should look for is:

sf.lcd_density=361

If using root explorer it will make a backup of the build prop in case you muck something up.

Edit: Looks like I was late to the party.

I always flash SuperSU with the ROM, custom kernel, add-ons, as the last step before rebooting.

I've had problems with superuser, as have many others. So I use SuperSU.

Something cool is coming... "Incoming call in background", "Minimun vibration duration" and "Flip actions (mute/dismiss the ringer)" :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AvRS:
You can never call a preference a bug. The thing most people forget about when looking at and flashing custom ROM's is that this was built for the original dev, in this case Krarvind who started Slim and not for users so all preferences will be those of his own and after that the team he's chosen to be around him. I used to help test a lot of things with him back on the old SGS2 and then for a little while on the N4 before I couldn't be bothered with tweaking my phone anymore. As much as users "use" custom ROM's, it's the dev's who are sharing what they enjoy not building something for you to your tastes. There are so many ROM's to choose from if you're unable to tweak things to your own liking so you've got no reason to moan at the devs for choosing to go with their tastes. The forum is a sharing community remember it's not a public service or the selling of software so no one's actually got any right to complain. It's only the openness of the forum and decency of devs to make things better that they ask for bug reports and feedback.

For the long time I was using Slim I never once left it stock how it was designed as I too have preferences, with the first being stock dpi, but what I did was learn where the changes were needed to be made and then did them. I soon found it took minutes to get the ROM how I wanted it before even flashing, all through opening up the ROM zip, tweaking a few files and parameters and bingo I was away. Not once did I have to post to complain about it because these were all my preferences. I even shared some scripts back on the SGS2 as others shared similar preferences to me and I was happy to help.

Anyway I don't post much but it's annoying reading so many people moan about defaults when the default should always be what the dev uses first and foremost as long as there's an option to change as that allows variety and choice. As it's still technically a beta, they're still implementing options and functionality so maybe they will introduce a way to change this in Slim Settings but the easiest way for me is still opening up the ROM zip, opening up the build.prop and editing everything I need there like dpi, default tones etc and changing launchers, apps and so on, so then it's all ready for when I flash and not have to worry after, changing, rebooting blah blah blah. Learn and move forward it's the best way or don't and move away which is another choice.

LOL@DPI posts..

Since the beginning of time I (for noobs):

1. double click on rom.zip

2. go to system folder

3. double click on build.prop

4. edit to desired dpi

5. save the file

6. zip "should" get automatically updated with new file

7. flash the zip

This depends on archive app..

In Linx Mint, it's done like I wrote it.. In Windows I think that it's best to use 7-zip app

Yep, I have a bunch of custom ringtones saved to my SD and I have set to scan media on boot so when my phone reboots it picks up what's in my sound folders on my SD :)

It does work through adb, but you'll have to either reboot or rescan. I do it all the time, because mtp doesn't work properly under linux.

no point getting too excited about 5.1 :(

Memory leak still present on android 5.1
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
I see no point in not getting excited. I did the test as written here. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=159738#c9

Installed Farm Heroes Saga.

Opened the app.

Exited the app.

Cleared the app out of recent apps.

Re-opened I the app.

Exited the app etc..

And - magically, unfortunately - the system was blowing up its usage of Ram by ca 100MB on each run and free Ram was down to 50MB. (BTW the app used nearly 350mb of Ram on its own). Then, it became barely usable.

Okay, not a good sign, for sure. But a reboot "fixed" it and after I uninstalled this "wonderful" app, I didn't encounter this issue anymore to such an extent! 5.1 seems to me more fluid, better multitasking, ...

P.S.Might also be, but that's a viewpoint from a non- developer, that this app is not coded properly...same Dev as Candy Crush Saga.

Last, but not least, is it really a normal user behavior in daily usage: opening an app, exiting it and swiping it away to reopen it, to exit the app, etc??

Screenshot from 13/03/2015 when the "memory leak" caught my attention...

It happened to me too. I don't use the browser usually so I forgot about it. Also I noticed a few glitches in other places so I thought it was just because of alpha version...

And I thought the images problem was something related to ISP problems I had this week.

Interesting.

But, sorry, I don't know how to solve. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mohamed Yaser:
images not related to isp it happend on wifi - Vodafone & Etsalat 3G

[MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] has said that a lot of stuff from 5.0.2 has not been merged yet into 5.1. Also 5.1 isn't up officially on Slims git yet. From my understanding it's spread across multiple Slim members Gits. So, hopefully, by the time it gets pushed to Github most, if not all, of those features will make there way back. It all depends on how much changed from the AOSP side between the different branches. You know the routine. Less changes=easier merge. More changes=bang head merge. I'm hoping for the former. :cool:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I secretly hope that most of the 5.0.2 -> 5.1 changes are in repos that don't affect all my personal cherry picks too much just so I can lazily continue with all my stuff after the merge without redoing it :D

http://www.androidauthority.com/first-cyanogen-phone-without-google-blu-596283/

Yeah sure... 5 seconds later google sighs , buys a burger, a coke and CM :D Dont bite the hand that feeds you! Also they should see how bad the amazon tablets sell without google services... What do you think?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
The question is, would any of this actually be any better for us users than what Google has to offer today ? Most unlikely, be it only because Google has and Cyanogen intends to have, so they're pretty very late in the game.

Also, we curse at Google quite often, I'm in that cursing party, too, but that's lightly and about 'details'.

To be honest, Google has done a pretty good job at keeping Android somewhat unfragmented, especially against real giants like Samsung, htc, Acer and all other OEMs, which can't hope for more than to have devices which do look like they were running a different OS so users stick to their brand (hello touchwiz, sense and thelike).

Samsung failed with their own store and app suite, Amazon failed with their fireos (tablet and phone) etc...

I'm not Google's best friend, but I think we need someone to lead the way and keep things together, and Google so far hasn't done that bad a job, and obviously everybody makes mistakes, so do they, but nothing catastrophic so far, or we wouldn't be where we are.

Would I dream of a world where McMaster and Cyanogen takes over that leading part ... really not (and I didn't mean to say 'not really').

What I've seen from them since they exist as a company is nothing consistent, and I would rather not have someone inconsistent lead the way, personally.

I can just hope their plans fail, they stay what they are, a very marginal player in this game, and we keep occasionally cursing at Google ;)

And I think that's where we're headed... but time will tell me right or wrong ;)

From the linked article:

So CM has decided to get out of bed with Google and get in bed with Microsoft. The 80M they raised in pursuit of this venture is only .02% of Googles Market Cap. If they don't get some serious funding for this it'll be a nail in the coffin. It's not David vs Goliath it's ant vs car.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Laggalot:
I especially like the part where he claims that he is gonna put a bullet through googles head! I was like: "They gonna stomp you so quick you wont even know what happened bruh "
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well Microsoft turned down funding Cyngn afterall, they got the money mainly from Qualcomm (who may start to fear other real SoC maker like Huawei and Samsung, who are about to conquer US and european markets ...) and may want to put pressure on Google against those (for Qualcomm) new troblemakers who might eventually/finally put an end to Qualcomm's current monopoly position in the US and their huge market share in Europe.

But Cyngn needed an alternative search engine, and Bing is one, since they at least were talking with M$ about getting funded by them, this would keep that channel open for the future (so they've not been quite that deep in bed together just yet, still haven't left the room either, it's still foreplay ;))...

Also Samsung seems to have grown fond of M$ as well (or rather M$ seems to have "motivated" Samsung) since they're bundling M$ stuff with the S6.

Google needs to correctly handle this round, M$ is not to be underestimated, they have cash to back their plans/goals, and getting Samsung along is far from insignificant, noone sells as many Android devices than Samsung does.

And if M$ services could end up running on easy half the Android devices (Samsung), that might just not be good for Google apps and their cloud services, the main motivation for Google to push Android forward.

2015's gonna have some interesting months to come for us...

JP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lightingcloud:
Is there really someone that prefer using Bing over Google search engine?

Apart from M$ employees that have to use it, I guess. Honestly, Bing is the IE6 of the search engines.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Agreed, I think not, never used it, really, I hope, at least not intentionally ;)

But since Cyngn CEO said they'd, I quote, "put a bullet through Google's head", and M$ waving potential $$$ ... not this time, but who knows, maybe next time they will go beyond just considering to invest ... that's what it looks like Cyngn will bet on for their Google-less Android spin off.

First let's see if these statements turn out to be actually true ...

Cyngn hasn't been shining at sticking to their word anyway so far ;)

But honestly, a gapps less Android is already pretty dull, but getting it bloated with Window crap instead ?? We're not yet rid of Windows on the PCs, now it's to infest our pockets ... I'll stay clear of that as far as I am concerned ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Well Microsoft has to do something to garner market share. They've already tried with Windows phones but there share and revenue there is pretty poor for any sustainability. So the next logical step is to try and get a foothold in Androids market share. The chart below explains it pretty well. While there not directly backing CM with this current project you can't help but think there's some behind the scenes hand shaking going on.

What's scary to me is the actions Google could take. Let's say that CM actually gets a phone up and running. The phone does better than expected. What would Google do? One possible action is to close the source. Google keeps it in shop and deprives CM of being able to piggy back off it. Would it happen? Probably not but it could. So, yeah, it'll be an interesting year.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Best case is a little competition gets Google to up their game. I'm not saying they're slacking, but they could push the envelope a bit harder on their core apps/services.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] effraie:
To close the source, Google would have to rewrite from scratch SO many code, beginning with the kernel, AND convince distributors they don't need to adapt stock Android (ask Samsung if they want stock Android...) I can't believe this will ever happen.

They have far better way to overwhelming concurrence...

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wangdaning:
Android is at its core open source and does not belong to google. If google closes source it would only be for their version of android and their proprietary features. Universal features cannot be close sourced.

CM wants to develop a googleless android OS. I do not think this is a threat to google. It could however, have a huge market in places like China, where the majority of android devices are googleless (as no google services work here without a VPN, I would imagine that limits it to just foreigners living here and less than a handful in a million of the Chinese population). If you go to any shop, carrier, etc here in China and buy an android device, there are no google apps on it. Most major phone manufacturers make their devices destined for China without them. Even if it is an international variant. So, while most of the world would hesitate at a phone without google, their are huge markets where that is already a reality.
