[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Dear all,

I have been trying to adjust the lcd density by editing the build.prop, but somehow changing the value does not seem to have any effect. I also tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache via twrp after applying the build.prop edit, but still no luck.

My previous experiance with non samsung devices was just editing the build.prop and making a reboot to acheive the result.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Ok. Answering myself. Seems the build.prop has the density value listed twice. Once i changed it in both instances then all went ok. Btw, imho 160 dpi looks way better :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] sawari:
You mean you set both 160, I also noticed that the density value listed twice too, because I am thinking of switching my Tab 3 7.0 to PhoneUI. Phone, Contacts, Messages & Email in TabletUI are annoying. The column for names of peoples in portrait mode is too small.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Yup. Switched both to 160. Now it looks like this
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Another nice thing i discovered is that the multi window thing now opens apps in floating popups rather the the split screen. Afaik this is the way its done on the bigger screen tabs.

The downturn of this is that you cannot drag the windows around the screen and cannot resize those.

Could it possibly be that someone has an idea of how to port the functionality from the eg 10.1 model?

Could assume that this might take a replacement of the flashservice apk by another one.

What do you ppl think?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] adrian13th:
hi, i just rooted my tab3 8inch and installed xpose framework and app setting module,

from here you can set per app DPI setting instead of change the whole DPI.

i have notice that Gmail and G+ app look awesome with 160 DPI and 800x1280 DP
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Hi. And thanks for the heads up. Though i am fully aware of the xposed app settings, but i do preferr the whole system at 160 dpi :) seems to make a much better use of the screen real estate...

What i was wondering was if its possible to port the multi window where you can actually drag windows around the screen that ive seen in a review of a bigger tab 3...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
Ok... so hg need help!

Changed the build prop to 160 in 2 places where screen density was mentioned. One had the value 213 and the other 320.

Rebooted and now the tab wont get past the samsung logo right before the lockscreen... any ideas?

Update

Went to twrp then replaced the edited build.prop with my backed up copy, cleared cache and dcache still no luck...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
2 rlrmineiro, mate you shluld be carefull when editing the build.prop and make sure you set the file's permissions same as they were before the edit. This goes for all the system file edits.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
Hum... will try changing permissions then... ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
OK... managed to change the doing and am on 160 looks great. Tried 240 and looks like a phone and 200 cuts a bit of the screen to the right and breaks some apps... do you have any other working solutions? Thanks ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Well for the android there are some standard dpi's like 160, 240, 360, 480 are the ones i can remeber...

Most of the apps should support all of these, but no guarantee for the samsung stuff. For me 160 is the daily driver and i use xposed with the app setting plugin for the things that look weird
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
Ive been fumbling around a little bit and found out that 188 dpi looks best for me as it keeps the text a little bit bigger. Im also using the xposed mod to setup individual apps to my liking as playstore and youtube to large screen tablet ui. Couldnt find a dpi for the gallery to always display the thumbnails without cutting a bit of the right side margin. Thx for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] brendonwardmusic:
What tab 3 are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Hi, im using the 8 inch wifi type.

But anyways the issue is solved - figured that there are two dpi entries somehow. After editing both the dpi chqnged in good order :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] brendonwardmusic:
Yeah I checked mine, only one in build.prop I have the 10.1 and its 160dpi stock.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] bmann_420:
Im on the 7" (210R) and edited the line I would think is necessary (lcd.density.etc - as usual with minor changes only for different types). Their is not 2 lines in this one, but their is one. Changed, fixed the permission set back, guess I cant fix permissions in Philz Touch 5, and thats weird. It was originally 240, now 160, and i see no difference. lol Havnt done the xposed route yet with this, but I would only use that for some apps to change either back or to a different dpi. Its very odd.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
^^^^^ you try setting the permissions for buildprop manually using something like root explorer?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] bmann_420:
That's how I edited it, and actually screwed it up. Had to make a flashable build.prop to get back to normal. I guess their are issues with these tablets and editing build.prop. made a flashable build.prop with 160 dpi to no avail.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Santosh_2809:
That looks pretty good. But for me it's no luck. :( Keeping 160 dpi messed up my touchwiz. Any solution to fix this? BTW, thanks for sharing the info.
[General Questions and Answers] Joe the Stack:
How do I know my phone doesn't have an NSA virus? Let me restate that. How do I tell if my phone has an NSA virus?

I use BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, Android Task Manager, & Titanium Backup Pro.

Sometimes my phone stays awake all day, for no apparent reason. Other times it stays in deep sleep all day. Yes, I often do not use the phone for hours at a time. Sometimes I determine, using the apps above, that a particular app is keeping it awake. Often I freeze that app. I have a lot of apps frozen, including Clock and Calendar. I usually turn wifi off when I am not using it. If I restart it in the morning, which I don't do very often, it is less likely to be awake all day for no apparent reason.

The phone does not exhibit any strange or unusual behavior. I do not use any virus checker. I do not download apps except from Play Store, and then not very often. I am not especially keen to install a virus scanner or whatever, without a good reason or a strong recommendation.

Yes, it is rooted, and I have flashed it, 6-12 months ago.

Anyone have any comments, advice, or input? Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
I think my battery is faulty and plan to return my note 10.1 2014 to the shop tomorrow and exchange it.

I charged up the old note and the new one, and turned them on at the same time. They've both just been sitting there with the screen on max brightness.

Now the old note is at 47% and the new one is at 7%. I watched it drop by several % at a time - saw it go from 19% to 17% to 14% in the space of a minute or so.

I also remember looking at it when it was 32%, then glanced back maybe 3 or 4 mins later and it was at 21%.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Surely the battery can't be that bad - I must have a faulty unit?

Both old and new notes show battery usage as about 80% screen, android OS as about 7% and the rest just a couple of percent each.

Thanks

Install tablet cpu monitor to see if cpu is working at full speed all the time. I had this issue a couple of times and it was solved only with a reboot.

Thanks, I will try that. Although it's had the issue before and after a firmware update and a factory reset.

Will try it anyway though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] NGagen5:
My tablet drops from 100% to 80% when watching an hour of Netflix... The 1st gen Note would barely drop 20%.

On what brightness setting? And how long does it take you guys to charge up the tablet from dead 0, does it feel quick?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
I did an experiment - left both tablets with nothing running except battery analyser. Both on max screen brightness.

As you can see from the screenshot the 2014 version battery gets much hotter and goes down much faster when the screen is on.

http://flickr.com/gp/jackhenriques/4B61B3

I exchanged it for another one. The same thing is happening, but not as severely.

http://flickr.com/gp/jackhenriques/11n0F6

Does anyone else see this?

Surely the difference in battery life should not be that much?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nrage23:
I did not have the the original Note 10.1 but I can say that the battery life is a little better than the Nexus 10. They are probably a better comparison due to the screen pixel count being the same. The Nexus 10 would also get very hot with the screen on for a long period of time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] abacus0101:
you don't have a faulty device battery isn't that good

Whats amazing is that its using an 8200 Mah battery. That should last at least all day. I can say I charge it and maybe if lucky get about 4 hours before its at 20 per cent. My iPad 3 lasts for a week before I need a charge, maybe samsung can update this further. Im surprised because Im not doing any heavy duty tasks and figure its probably using the slower quad core on this so if yours is defective then many tablets are also.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
The 2nd unit I've had is better than the first one by quite a lot, but is still much worse than the original note.

Not acceptable for an "upgrade" to use the battery 1.5x as fast as the previous model. I am probably going to return it for a refund and stick with the old note. The screen is rubbish but still good enough for taking notes which is mainly what I use it for.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] steveman29:
Mine is lasting 9-10 hours screen time. Also during standby it only drops only about 2-3 percent a day. I have frosen a lot of bloatware. Also I have xposed framework and greenify and have greenified many system apps. Install tablet cpu monitor in order to find out if something is making your cpu work at full speed. I had this a couple of times.

Thanks, I will try the CPU monitor, but I don't expect to spend £450 on a tablet and then have to mess about disabling all the stuff it comes with to make it work properly.

I'm not that techy and have no idea what xposed framework or greenify means!

Thanks for the tip though will try the monitor
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Sequitor2000:
I'm getting between 6 and 8 hours of use a day depending on on what I do. A graphically intensive game like Shadowrun can easily use 20% or more in a single hour, but web surfing seems to use less than 10% an hour. The one day that the battery ran down quickly I found that the Media Server app was the culprit. After I deleted several items from my media card that problem went away.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlb51:
I would've posted in the development forum but I don't have enough posts. I would like to add the stock mail apk back to the rom. I thought I read how on my first read through, now I can't find it (I searched also). I downloaded the removed apk's zip and put the mail apk on my sd card. I tried to add it to the system/data folder but it didnt work. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sharkie405:
You put it in /system/app and rebooted and it wasn't installed? It should have been... Do you have a pc with adb installed? If so, you can just push it to /system/app and reboot. Both methods should work... Or you could put the Mail+PRIME.apk in the ROM zip file in /system/app before you flash it by opening the zip as archive then re-flash it.

Thanks for trying my ROM out! Sorry you didn't get an answer to your question sooner. Feel free to PM me if you ever need help. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlb51:
When I add it to system/app there is already a mail apk there. So I replaced it with the file from my SD card and rebooted . Now it shows in my app drawer but force closes when I try to open it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sharkie405:
There being a Mail+PRIME.apk already in /system/app doesn't make sense unless you already added it in at some earlier point. In any event, I would make sure you only have one of those in there. If there's somehow one in there called just 'Mail', delete it. After you put the new mail+prime apk in /system/app, set the permssions so it looks like all the other /system/app apks, reboot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik-cache, and then reboot. That should do it.

Thanks for the help, I'll give that a try

Hi , I was recently bought a Nook HD+ after my old generic tablet died on me :(

So far I'm loving it , but I would like to be able to access the amazon app store

as well as accessing the Network Settings as I use Unblock Us to view differing

netflix sites.

I'd rather not go down the route of completely replacing the stock OS.

That said , what are my options ?.

Many Thanks

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my enable unknown sources zip. That allows other stores like Amazon and 1mobile.com to install apps. After you flash that go to their web site to install their store app.

Easy to follow instructions , have now installed the Amazon App Store.

Is there a way to access the network settings so I can add my own DNS settings ??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BeyondtheTech:
Now that bal666's awesome utility gives us the ability to decrypt/encrypt the NBF file, we can view and/or extract the ROM files that are normally not available to us otherwise.

One big hoopla that Windows Mobile 5.0 was supposed to have was the native ability to access the camera through their APIs, so that third-party developers could create applications without having to deal with each and every different type of camera technology in different Pocket PC and Smartphone devices.

Of course, it's apparent that HTC has still used their own software and drivers and has not given access to anyone outside of HTC. Not like Microsoft had their own Camera application (I don't know if there ever was one, but there isn't a Microsoft one on the Universal).

Developers such as ComVu with their neat PocketCaster software, are having such a difficult time making a single Windows Mobile 5.0-ready application, and have resorted to making different versions for different devices.

So... where am I going with this? Simple. Let's dump out the contents of the NK.NBF file and see if we can make our own applications with the APIs and drivers that HTC has embedded in the ROM.

I, for one, am looking forward to a internet-based videoconferencing application, much like Microsoft Portrait. Skype also announced video calls on PCs with the new version 2.0. Perhaps someone could send them some code to get video capability on the Universal?

That front-facing camera is beckoning to be used...

On a sidenote, PPL: Pocket Programming Language, allows you to easily create applications (self-contained EXE files, as a matter of fact), and also allows direct access to DLLs and APIs...

Put these two concepts together, and you can see the potential.

Create an application to...

... toggle the camera flashlight.

... do internet videoconferencing.

... do face recognition security.

Create your own camera app, phone app, game using images from the camera, etc. etc.

Another thing, though I'm not sure, but perhaps it's possible to rebuild your own ROM... remove Voice Speed Dial? Embed Voice Command, Resco Explorer, remove stupid applications or unused portions? etc. etc.

What does anyone else think about this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oltp:
BtT,

This sounds great, even having only a magician which will likely not being supported in projects like this. I still want to create my own rom with at least all the patches installed in rom. Camera & Album are taking at least 1Mb from my precious storage & apps like resco explorer are indeed must haves.

So I'm looking rorward to progress & tips in this thread & when I succeed with simple magician rom cooking I'll let you know. Don't expect any new camera apps from me, no time & no development for anymore .

Regards, M
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BeyondtheTech:
http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/FS2005/presentations/FacultySummit_2005_Lieberman.ppt

I just realized that Windows Mobile 5 SDK contains a "common camera API" which is likely the method that third-party developers will take (or have taken) to access the camera. I have emailed Skype to see if their new 2.0 desktop version that has Video Calling can be somehow implemented on the Pocket PC, now that it is technically feasible.

I'm surprised the guys behind Microsoft Portrait haven't jumped on this yet.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethervagrant:
Okay, im new to the Xperia and xda, Ive been over at phandroid for a while because my previous devices only recieved support from the Unloved Devices Hit Squad. Ive been reading up and playing around for two weeks before posting any questions, as I find trial, error amd research is often the least annoying solution. I have the tmobile c6606, im dissapointed in the locked bootloader and slower processor, but the only other high end devices offered at tmobile lack sd card slots which is a deal breaker for me, and my baby likes to slobber on my phones so water resistance is a huge plus.

I have played with a few LB compatible roms, and have gotten comfortable with flashtool, as well as flashing over my baseband and fota to keep lte service when running 6603 fw.

I ran monx v5 for a while until I noticed that I couldnt activate wifi, and I started to get the "sd card is safe to remove" message. Its not a fried card issue as it works fine under recovery and other roms. At fitst I felt like monx was laggy, but getting rid of animations and increasing scroll speeds madenitnfeel snappy and I consistently had more free ram than on stock.

I tried the Glass themed rom, and it was fast, and gave me crazy better 3g reception (i live in a bad pocket for most spectrums) as well as better battery life, but thebtransparant theme made it.extremely hard.to read things, and retheming didnt seem to take as the trandparency was built in to the rom.

Now I would really like to try the existenz, konomi , and some of the other latest firmware based roms but im running into problems: most roms wont flash, I get the "could not read: error bad zip" notice on almost all the roms. Monx still flashes like a charm. I havr tried changing to multiple different stock firmwares, and I am currently running 423, rooted, Su, and with Nut dual recovery. Ive tried both twrp and cwm, and both say that /system is mounted but I still get the same error on all but a small handful of roms, and yes they are all listed as compatible with locked bootloaders, and I always flash my c6606 kernel and baseband over.

All I really want is a deodexes, zipaligned rom that is leaned down to the bones for maximum battery life and ram. I barely use any google apps except play store and gmail, and pretty much none of the sony apps. I usually uninstall all stock themes, bluetooth, anything and everything I can that I dont use regularly.

Now most of the roms that have given me the error are hosted on mega, but ive downloaded them several times on a pc thinking it might be a network or incompati ility issue. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

I previously had an lg motion that cost me 100$ and could run circles around most galaxy s3,s, after it was given cm, leaned further, and overclocked, and a huaweibpremia that we never got cm support but was still able to impress phones twice the price. Granted each of those phones had exactly one hardware version, and the modding process required far less caveats.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethervagrant:
konomi

Actually I forgot my question about the konomi rom, it says to download 2 rom zips..but only flash one? Does it mean download both, install one, reboot, then install the other, or just flash them on top of each other, or just flash the latest while having v5 on the sdcard and the installer takes.care of it?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
Hi

I'm planning to purchase US version of nexus 5 from playstore because it is much cheaper than the international one

But what stopping me right now is that it doesn't support 1800 MHz LTE (Band 3), so for me it will be only on HSDPA+

If I flash the modem firmware of the international version to US one, Does it enable the international bands?

I'm supposed that the 2 models share the same internal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Was wondering about this also, i ordered a 32GB N5 from the US through a friend but it supports different LTE bands. If i had the phone i would certainly try to flash the radio and let you know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
According to leaked manual (that for D820 international one) The chip that handle LTE bands are: WTR1605L (Qualcomm) which support 7 bands

What I thought, is that google did choose 7 bands for US , and another 7 for the rest of the world:

LG-D820 (North American Model): LTE bands 2/4/5/17/25/26/41

LG-D821 (International Model): LTE bands 1/3/5/7/8/20/41

But the question, is that a change on a system level or at hardware level?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I think its a hardware level and the bands are predetermined cause the Google factory images are the same afaik. So changing LTE bands support is probably not possible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
If this was possible Google would just have one model. The fact that they had to split phones to cover most of the world is obviously a hardware limitation.
