Is there any way for me to change the LCD Density?

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

I installed FDroid and a few other apps, they worked fine with the method atrix4g18 suggested, but FDroid gets the parsing error when trying to install something.

I have been unable to sync the aosp calendar app, but the google version worked.

I switched to the ART runtime and gaaps continuously crashed. (I know, I know a beta within an alpha)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyman77:
What apps are causing this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atrix4g18:
Copy apk files to /data/app/ and change the permissions to 644. This has worked on many apps. Some will force close on launch though. I got AdAway installed perfectly this way.

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

FDroid is really just a convenient downloader. The parsing error will still be there. You can just download the apk of any of the apps in FDroid and then use my method to install it.

LCD Density can be changed manually by editing the build prop file. It is located on the system partition. Use a root file manager and mount system, then open the file in a text editor, change the value and save unmount and reboot.

apk intall problem

Hi thanks for the response all the applications that I tried to install outside of the ones that I install using play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxthe:
Use a root explorer and go to build.prop and you'll see something about density below you're screen resolution line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
1. No, we do not support non-stock resolutions/densities with CM. This may cause other problems, so we simply do not support or debug issues when someone has changed their resolution/density. It's like using a 3rd party kernel, you're on your own.

2. There are file system problems, related to permissions, which is breaking manual APK installations. We're aware of it and working on a fix.

3. Don't use ART for now - that's also a known issue that the larger CM team is working on (not us).

No.

Encrypting phone breaks cell service

This is a weird one. I've reloaded the phone a few times to test this and it's consistent.

1. Loaded phone as per OP and everything works dandy. Set up my local email and it works great.

2. Ran with it for a couple of days. Some things still need to be worked out, but it's a great start for an Alpha. Very stable and fast, good battery use.

3. Decided to set up my work email. This requires a PIN unlock (no problem) and Encrypting the phone. The encryption worked fine, phone seemed to be fine (I was on Wifi at the time) till I left the house and noticed no cell service. Rebooted, no change. Turned airplane mode on and off, no difference.

4. Noticed under settings that no APNs were listed.

5. Went back to 10.1 nighly and everything is fine.

Note, I did this twice. The results were the same each time.

One other thing I noticed, after encrypting the T-Mobile My Account app that I run would not come up after reboot. I've seen this before and it is related to the startup process not finishing and starting it up. This might explain the cell service problem as well.

Yah that was fixed after a simple reinstallation.... Did you restore the data partition from your previous ROM... That will break WiFi no doubt.

Is the gallery issue from CM 10.2 present in this version too ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
A warning, do not try ART under developer options, it won't work non Google Roms, period. Gapps does not support ART right now.

If you turned it on, you can turn it off painfully between the force close pop-ups. You tap ok on the popup and then rapidly tap next action, until turn dalvik back on. Just FYI.

Best not to really mess with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
As noted in our release notes, ART is not yet supported. If you are using it you are on your own for issues until we are confident that it can be enabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muffycheeks:
......KitKat includes an option to enable ART. But Google's ART introductory page warns that "Dalvik must remain the default runtime or you risk breaking your Android implementations and third-party applications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Battery lasts a long time. But I'm having trouble getting my battery to get charged up. I'll leave it on the charger all night, and end up at less than fully charged. Also, when it is charging, confirmed with the lightning bold on my battery charge level indicator, the battery statistics doesn't show as being charged. Strange.

There's a NEW CWM 6.0.4.3 it allows you to access both storages cause on the old CWM 3 you could only gain access to the internal now you can gain external also then you format both sd cards I got it from running CM Installer... or someone can upload the zip for CWM 6.0.4.3 then flash it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
Yes, of course, but it's not that easy, some people won't realize how to do it properly...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
If they can't, then they shouldn't be changing developer options to begin with :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
Sigh, look around, I wish we were accompanied by greatness, but we're not. Plus, it's easy to miss a line of text telling you not to try it when it's such a cool feature, as well, other sources tell you to reflash to which unnecessary.

So give me a break. Ok?

Gimme a break, gimmie a break, break me off a piece of that kitkat bar......

Actually, it is that easy ... keep dismissing all the crash errors and get into settings, switch it back, reboot. Done.

Well... I came out of retirement because I don't have the patience to wait for KitKat on our SGSIII T-Mobile version. If you didn't own a Droid Incredible or Transformer Prime, you probably don't know me. No worries.

For everyone that cannot live without root, and why should you!? Dalvik is gonna be the way to go for now.

Just finished up reading about ART and it definitely sounds interesting, it'll be better performance and battery. All in an effort to escape Oracle's Java. Google was sued by Oracle, but it failed and so they still have the right to use Dalvik, and I guess now they finally said, we're just going to out do you and discard your stupid Dalvik virtual machine.
