I've been off of XDA for a few months, haven't been doing much with my phones and therefore almost nothing involving Android...

I came back on today trying to find information about the Baked ROM I have on my Evo, and I found this thread... I'm welling up with tears from reading the heartfelt warm wishes for this man's family and friends, and the many thanks from the lives he touched. I recognize that I missed an opportunity to know a great humanitarian, but I thank him in passing for all that he contributed to our Android community.

I also thank each and every one of you who have posted here for bringing my awareness back to the people behind the avatars and screen names; many of whom devote months and months of their time to help others.

Diablo67 will be sorely missed...

Hello, What deals did you guys get when you ordered your o2 xda?

I got it on upgrade for 80 pounds and new 12 month contract with 12 half price on O2 200 ( 15 pounds a month ) which is quite good deal. What about yours?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
I got it for free on their 400 Minutes and 100 Texts 12 Month contract.

I also get double minutes and texts for 6 months.

£45 per month.

I've got insurance for £5 and 5mb Data for £8 on top of that though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] predo:
I assume its new contract rather than upgrade?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
Sorry, yeah, it was a new contract
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] el saxo:
I just upgraded to the Mini S from an XDA IIs, got a great deal from O2 UK.

I searched around on the internet and found the Mini S available for free on O2 250 (£35 p/month with 250 mins & 50 texts - the tariff I was already on) from http://www.buymobilephones.net.

When I called O2 to enquire about upgrade price they quoted me £79.99, so I told them I could get it for free elsewhere, on the same tariff etc, and that I'd cancel my contract unless they could match the deal above.

In the end they still charged me £79.99 for the handset but gave me 3 months free line rental (equal to £105!!!) :D

ALWAYS haggle on the phone and if necessary threaten to cancel your contract! I did the same thing when I got my XDA IIs and got £100 knocked off the upgrade price at the time...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] deijath:
I got mine last week - runs great (after dumping the o2 stuff).

I'm on O2 200 (upgrade contract), & I got it the XDA Mini-s for free, plus I reminded them about their offer of 50% extra minutes, and texts for life. I had to sign up for an 18 month contract though. I spent a couple of hours doing some research though, so I told them initially I was going to cancel my contract with them. Then they went to referrals, and told me I could have it for free :)

Happy days.

Hi everybody, I wanted to ask if it's possible to bring this feature in p6's kernel. I find this device very interesting but I can't understand some things...why almost no developing on this phone? And why putting a sooooo old kernel version? I have already read some posts regarding this, but I can't find precise answers..I can't even find out if someone is working on kernel tweaking and AOSP roms or not :(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Maybe you should read more? P6 has signature check when you try to flash custom kernel, recovery etc. Only Huawei can tell us the signature key. And P6 running Qemu ( goldfish emulator) doesnt make the things any easier. There is few guys who had tried to port CM to our device, but with no results.

Still, newest china firmware has unlocked bootloader, but the time shows if it was helpful to develop of P6 or not.

Thank you for the right hint. Now I can understand why, OMG this phone is just crazy, it EMULATES android. Now it could sound so dumb but if it isn't a native android phone..can it run windows phone?

There is no way to get the "Official" GPE on the Verizon HTC One because it is only intended for the GSM HTC One. But the direction that user brholt6 has pointed you in is the closest thing to a GPE HTC One as your going to get. It does require some extra things to be done first, as in S-Off, rooted, and custom recovery, but after that all you have to do is install the ROM.

I don't know your personal level of knowledge on customizing phones, but all the stuff needed is pretty straight forward and can be done following guides on this site and others.

LG G2 is More Awesome with ̶3̶2̶0̶d̶p̶i̶ 380dpi

I came from galaxy note 2 before had G2

On that forum, people love 240dpi

Because the original 320dpi is too big and bulky

Not as crisp as 240dpi

After I got my G2

I realize, the current dpi is too big

And I edit build.prop and change to 320dpi

And modified home to works with 320dpi

You got to try it

It's really awesome G2 with 320dpi/380dpi/400dpi

I wish some skillfull dev will port original apps from 480 to 380dpi

In the mean time.... i just had to learn trial and error changing dimens

To make it looks good on 380

===========380dpi===========

[MENTION=1198227]sosimple[/MENTION] point me, he use 380 dpi, after I tried it, It's my favorite DPI now..

===========================

- - - How To Change DPI Manually - - -

===========================

1. You must be rooted (need root explorer/build.prop editor) + Xposed Module (App Settings)

2. search ro.sf.lcd_density=480

3. change it into ro.sf.lcd_density=380

4. reboot

of course, many apps on playstore can change density :D

just search playstore

*some LG apps doesn't works properly with new DPI

*even playstore is acting weird

--------- the fix ---------

1. For LG Camera App and LG Message App

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48743938#post48743938

Install Xposed Frameworks - Open the apps - go to download menu

1. Install App Settings Module (for LG apps)

2. Install All apps in Play Store (for Playstore Fix)

3. reboot

4. open App Settings, Search Camera - click - On - DPI = 480

5. open All Apps in Play Store Module - change fake dpi to 480

Unless you're running a ASOP ROM, stock LG apps dont scale right under a different density. It sucks. I agree though everything looks better at 320.

[G2 General] Hathoid:
I'm on the G3 ROM here, and I can say that most apps will work with 380 dpi (didn't try 320, because stock usually breaks at 320 dpi). Smart Notice, and Weather Widget will break at 380 dpi, and only way to fix is to return the stock launcher to default dpi.
[G2 General] GTMoraes:
Hey.

380DPI is the best. Always used it

For apps that misbehaves at this setting, use the xposed module "App Settings" to manually change the DPI for each application! Just set it to 480 and you'll be just fine.
[G2 General] iisshaun:
I haven't messed with DPI settings on my other phones before, but this is the first time I've got one >4.7" and it seems like a waste with everything being just huge and not showing more. The status bar is physically twice the size of the one on my iPhone, it really doesn't need to be this big.

I may try something a little lower than 380dpi once I try out Paranoid Android, but I'm guessing anything lower than 400dpi will be enough of a change.
[G2 General] mossywell:
I use 320. The stock apps do indeed fall apart at that pixel density. However as stated before you can used xposed and App Settings to override particular apps. They all start working afaict at 400. No need to send them all the way back up to 480. The only problem is the ones that start after boot up. They all FC. I suspect it is because the framework isn't running at that point. But it's OK because it only happens once after each boot up.
[G2 General] Claudiu678:
Wow, the 380 dpi looks just awsome on my LG G2! Thanks man! :)
[G2 General] Hathoid:
Here's a report from a G3 port ROM, 320 dpi works just fine, no FC, Smart Notice and Weather Widget are broken, but that is expected. I've tried all stock apps and Weather (so far), is the only one that gives me issues.

[G2 General] xian_online:
I had the DPI changed in the first hour of having the phone. I have no idea why they make large screen phones, only to make everything stupidly huge. I absolutely love the added screen real estate on a screen of this size! I couldn't live with the stock 480, its disgusting IMO. I wish manufactures would create hi-DPI screens with a higher actual resolution, so I could enjoy 480 DPI and small interface stuff.

Anyway, I use 360 DPI, and I love it at this size. Tried 340, 380, etc but 360 is awesome. I would recommend trying somewhere in this range for anyone. Especially with the larger icons and stuff in KitKat. Looks great. Oh yah, I'm running CM11.

On my Gnex I ran 241 (320 stock,) and it was a whole other phone. Anyway, I'm a dpi change junky, I just adore the screen size like this, try 360 for people on the fence.
[G2 General] player911:
Texdroider is a plus. Quick and dirty.

Looking through the build.prop I found LG has a secondary DPI as 400. I guess for video out. But that's what I use. No problems outside camera viewfinder has a border.

I can't imagine going smaller. 400 feels right on the G2. 480 was crazy.

Lowering the DPI is like increasing the resolution on a PC. You gain screen estate.

Hey just a heads up. I don't know how the stock ROM handles DPI changes since I instantly ditched it. But on my ASOP the stock camera and quick remote apps were wacked out on lower DPI.
