Maybe we should have a little discussion here on this issue.

There will always be a few apps that don't want to play nice when changing to a different dpi.

This is not a flaw with the rom really.

You'll notice most every app resizes itself correctly for the screen with no issues.

The exceptions are..

The included system apps that have been forced to 480.

Some tweaking with the gallery is obviously needed here.

No problem next update fixes what'd left.

These apps were designed from the beginning to run on this phone at 480 Dpi there was very little effort made to support additional resolitions.

This should pose no real problems.

The other thing you will run into is...

Poorly written or older software.

Android has a pretty good system in place to allow apps to scale depending on the screen dpi.

However some apps whether it's because they were written for much older versions of android or because the developer is just lazy, do not resize correctly.

This should be a minimal issue.

And should be fairly rare.

Can be solved by setting the Dpi in the offending app to 480 with app settings.

The options here are....

1 no change on my end. Continue on with a modified dpi.

Figuring the advantages are worth it.

2 include the stock dpi by default. And have a separate dpi pack for others.

Those are about all I can do on my end for these issues.

It's not that I don't want a better solution.

But the only real way I can force those apps to stay 480 would be at a minimum..

I would have to have a list of all the apps that have dpi issue. I then could make a list forcing them to 480.

I could also I guess edit each individual app one at a time to show full dpi.

Of course that's just a bunch of extra work for me also.

So what do yall think. Are the improvements from a smaller dpi worth the slight inconvenience of setting up a few apps or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sgthwjack:
I would stay as you are, the few apps with problems are not worth it. After all, this is a custom ROM. My 2 cents only. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
And on another side note. The battery life has been stellar for me. How are yall doing.

Over 24 hours on

Just over 6 screen.

Nearly none spent on wifi.

And still 25%

Absolutely acceptable if i do say so myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
And woohooo my new screen is in.

Hopefully can run down this afternoon.

Awesomsauce

Thanks again for those who Gave extra so I could afford to fix it.

It has been super annoying.

I had a look at better keyboard.

It is pretty decent.

Though it crashes a bit doesn't it.

Think I found the problem mostly (at least partly)

The memory calls are out of date (which 4.3 should have corrected for) and there seem to be a few minor code typos preventing it from swapping memory handling.

I believe I have a fix. Though it will probably be at least a few days before I can make the time for it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Sweet, i only have am idea on what your saying, i haven't finished the first part of C++ for dummies yet.

Also i sent you a pm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Well, not that i'm complaining about the dpi issue. I'm just putting it out there for you to know.

Per app DPI change is a pain in the ass; i totally understand.

Thanks for your effort. I personally like the extra screen space at 380 and not 320.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
I was thinking it might be kind of cool to start some sort of rom tutorial type workshop.

Like kind of a making of sort of thing.

Start out with a stock rom.

I'll post sets of step by step tutorials.

People can follow along on their own.

And end up with a custom rom.

Maybe do it all in some sort of live chat for those that would like to follow along in real time while we do it (once a day) everyone else could catch up whenever they want.

I think I know a few people who would like to learn the basic skill sets at least and that would be a great way to do it.

Will have to see if enough people were interested and we could hash out the details it might be fun all around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
Create your own YouTube channel so that you can post what you did and everyone can watch when they have time or need a quick Refreshing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mhutton:
As far as the dpi goes I am fine with you leaving it alone. No need to add extra work for you. I am now savvy enough to change the dpi myself so I will never go back to 480 unless the app requires it.

My battery life is awesome! The only time it drains fast is when I'm outside and have to turn the brightness up.

Keep up the awesome work.

I would have to Agree with Spyke24 on this one. Although I have done research to try and fix things myself instead of bothering all the devs, it would be nice for some clear and concise directions as far as making themes would go.

Hello, This is the first ROM i've tried on my N3. Really enjoy it so far. Any way I can help contribute some testing or time let me know.

I'm still having trouble with the dialer dpi on 5.0. I did a clean install (wiped 3 times first out of habit) then installed 5.0 twice, fixed permissions, then updated xposed and all modules(including wanam) then rebooted a few times. took a few reboots to get all xposed modules working.

Problem is though, dialer dpi looks like it's about 320. I can change the dpi of the contacts to 480 to make the dialer change but then the other tabs are huge also.

I searched the thread but i'm not sure if it is supposed to be fixed in 5.0 or after. Is there a way to change just the dialer without changing the entire contacts process?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Those two apps I believe are inexorably linked, so if I'm right, your desired objective is not going to turn out the way you'd like.

If I'm wrong on this, please let me know.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Until I rewrite how the dialer and contacts utilize dpi setrings. Going back to 480 for them is an issue.

Though I am looking into getting the dialer and contacts a bit more optimized with the new dialer I'm working on now.

Hopefully this will help in the future
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] endopt:
Thats what I figured, thanks for responding though.

Thanks for letting me know. If I can help test the dialer let me know.

Hello, I have been trying to load 5.1 and it just continues to fail????

I have had no problem up to 4.7 but, anything with a 5 in it just won't load?

I have triple wiped, changed sd cards reformatted and downloaded directly from the site, no change.

I have attached a log file in hopes that will provide the answer to someone who is far more intelligent in this matter than I.

Thanks for any help.

I love ad removal from apps and such, but I find that it usually also blocks Web links in my emails from sites I normally shop from... Anyway to enable these?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
No problem.

Delete system/ect/hosts

Will remove all ad blocking

Or.

Copy the hosts file to a pc. Use notepad++ to edit it. It's just a list of blocked websites. Remove the lines for ones you want to be able to visit. Save. Copy back to phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bralgar:
Thanks! Too bad there isn't a tap and hold option for links, where you could disable said links from being blocked... Or is there such a mod? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
There may be. I never thought to look. Good idea though. Shouldn't be too hard to whip something up. Will have to add it to my to do list. Probably not something I'll add for the next release but I'll be looking into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Check out "Hosts Editor"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nilhcem.hostseditor

Excellent. Will most likely include in version 3. Takes a minute to load the whole hosts file (I'm under clocked to 1.5ghz) but has a search. And easily deletes file entries. Can also add entries.

Used it to fix the espn app also. Instead of removing the individual entries as they popped up in logcat I just searched espn. Deleted all entries. And wamo. Espn fantasy football works.ill probably leave it blocked in version 3.

With instructions on how to remove the blocking for specific sites/apps.

And a flash able zip to remove ad blocking completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bralgar:
Worked like a charm.. Ad redirect r20.rs6.net was blocked... No more :D Thanks!

No problem. Glad it worked. That little program is super handy if you want to quickly block or unblock something.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Version 3 is mostly done. ive been running it for a few days and is super smooth.

i can underclock down to 1.2ghz with no noticeable loss in performance.

will be uploading at the beginning of the week if all goes as planned.

a few little odds and ends to clean up nothing crippling.

would be awesome if you wanted to make a theme or two! my goal is to have as many options as possible so most everyone gets what they want.

though you may wait for version 3 which will change a lot of things. (though i havent touched any images yet so your safe there)

if you have time and want to be my hero you could invert a few apps for us in the meantime if youd have time.

let me know and ill post them for you.

these things need to be themed for the next version (though ill get to them eventually hopefully) if you want to that would be great.

basically inverted

new google mail (ill post as fix for email in downloads now)

and

multiwindow sidebar (flashbarservice.apk) (unchanged from stock)

if you want to that would be awesome.

if not ill get to it when i have a chance.

what folder? I'd like to try a different dpi, I went from v3 to v5 and the difference was very large, it's difficult to use one-handed now as I have to be so precise with button presses as they're so small. The first post doesn't really mention anything about a downloads folder with extra stuff, only links to direct downloads and only 480 dpi, which to my understanding is default? I think that's much too big, I liked whatever I had before updating :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mhutton:
The old setting was 380 dpi. You can go in and edit the build.prop files or get the build prop editor from the play store. Look for ro.sf.lcd_density and change it to whatever you would like.

Hope that helps.

Viper4Android profiles

[MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] At some point in the OP regarding the Viper4Android mod there was mention of including profiles along with it, or perhaps i misread. If I did read right though and you do have a pack of profiles would you be willing to post them as a separate package? I do understand the concerns raised in several official threads concerning profile sharing but I think I'd be fine. After all consider what needs to be done to even be able to use the app in the first place.

Website http://www.designrifts.com/teamblackedoutapp/has all of their files, but the app is worth buying for several reasons, as you'll be supporting the devs, it's convenient, and it comes with a nice reboot widget that looks great.

There's also a ton of inverted apps on xda, each different, all awesome.

I don't believe that the themes would work, as they are designed for AOSP-based roms (ie, they don't theme TouchWiz).

All I had to do to get my dropbox to show up was....

I do not have a dedicated dropbox option anymore either it was integrated into the stock files. If this causes an issue for people we can roll it back.

So I did this..

1. Log into dropbox. (I turned camera share on no idea if needed but I want my photos to backup anyway)

2. Open gallery

3.settings

Under accounts I have only my one gmail.

I checked all sync options and pressed sync now.

Though I did also have the wifi only option turned off (just below accoint) figuring I have unlimited data screw it.

My dropbox photos show up as auto backup in the gallery.
