When I tried to change dpi, TouchWiz doesn't work anymore... how did you do this?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
In my case

There were few fc's for stock apps

But it was working beautifully

How did you change your dpi??

I did it directly in build.prop

Sent from an expensive Toaster (SM-T211)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] icex93:
I changed them in build.prop too; at the voices;

"ro.sf.lcd_density=160" I just changed 160 to 180;

There are 2 of these voices in build.prop (one under "System property for Default Brightness" and the other one under "ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES")... I changed both of them but TouchWiz crashes, as well Settings, Browser and so one. Fortunately MW worked, thus I restored build.prop directly from Root Explorer instead doing that with ADB ^_^"

How did you do that? I like very much SystemUi of S5
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
As far as i remember

There should only be one in build.prop

I guess you should not change the brightness one

Sent from an expensive Toaster (SM-T211)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] icex93:
Unfortunately I tried and it doesn't work :( It seems the change is not listened after reboot if I changed only the 2nd parameter.. what should it be? :/

My fw is the XXBNF5 (KK 4.4.2)

How did you change toggle section's color to blue?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
What you mean??

Which toggle section?

Sent from an expensive Toaster (SM-T211)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] gainram:
The one posted by t3snake. It looks like galaxy s5 toggle blue background.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
He has mentioned that

You gotta change your dpi from 160 to 180

Sent from an expensive Toaster (SM-T211)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] gainram:
I did changed it in build.prop but nothing's changed. I have the circular toggles though but i want the blue backgroud much like the gs5.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] T3snake:
there are definitely 2 places where u hv to change the build prop
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] icex93:
Yes, I'll share it soon.

What do you mean?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] T3snake:
There are 2 places where u hv to change the value to change the dpi
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] sscsps:
You just have to change dpi in brightness section, other one is not needed, i ended up having repeated systemui force close by changing both to 120

So only change the one in brightness section
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] gainram:
I tried only changing the one in brightness section to 160 but still i got force close. But when i changed it to 120 i got stuck in bootloop.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] sscsps:
Yeah, the same thing happened to me, i forgot to mention, resorting build.prop didn't helped, i had to flash stock md5 to recover from that, or any other rom you would like to install

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Aeyan Ashraf:
Thanx 4 it . And I have got a method to install ur recovery on kitkat 4.4.2 . First flash Angel's recovery and root . Then open terminal and try the dd command. I haven't tried it bcoz I haven't updated to kitkat as of now . And as soon as I will upgrade to kitkat I will be creating mods . BTW , I had created some mods for 4.2.2 stock but didn't shared them on xda. Like S5 icon pack + toggles + Accuweather widget + touchwiz home with note 3 page indicators & animated Menu button + 18 toggle mod. Everything was working awesome but I didn't shared them on xda as I had shortage of time . But now as kitkat has released , I will create mods for it also . But theming kitkat will be really hard as when I pulled a systemui.apk from sm-t211 kitkat , I found that everything in it is in .qmg format rather than .png . It will be a tough task but I will do my best .

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] :

if you're rooted copy this script to /system/bin and rename to f-reco and change permission to 755

the at root prompt in terminal type ./f-reco your recovery.img must be in /sdcard/recovery.img first.

#!/system/bin/sh

cd /sdcard && busybox ls

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 && wait

echo Flashing Recovery

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

echo Done

just for you to see what it does . This is for GT-P5210

M

always share what you create. not everyone wants kitkat.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Aeyan Ashraf:
Ok , will try that . But it's 4 4.2.2 ? Bcoz I haven't updated to kitkat on my P5210.

Don't forget to press the thanks button !!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] :
the script is a standard shell script.

the recoveries are updated to handle kitkat if you need to replace the update binary for a specific 4.2 rom zip

check my devhost archive or just pm me.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Aeyan Ashraf:
I will share it but let me & Nonta's ROM come out. Everything is done & he is creating the 1st test build . Hope to see it working in a few days .

Just 1 more doubt do I have to enter this code exactly in same way in terminal or some changes ? & do I need busybox pre-installed ?

Don't forget to press the thanks button !!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] :
A.A.

if you want, once your recovery.img is in /sdcard --------> /sdcard/recovery.img

just type in terminal at root prompt;

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

It's just amazing with dpi 180. But TouchWiz, and stock apps don't work as you said. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] x0xhellx0x:
just figured i would put my two cents in on this yes using the command that your using to edit the device name is good try not using s5 on try using like the sg tab pro which is i think SM-T520 this will give you your icons and allow for gallery to work. and should also allow for the use of other dpi's just my two cents
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] gainram:
It doesn't really work well with dpi at 180, any value higher than 160 stock apps got fc. But i found a way to replicate the GS5 theme with 160 dpi by using wanam xposed module. Here is a screenshot, its not perfect but its enough for me.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] icex93:
And what's the name of this module?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] gainram:
Wanam Xposed

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
I only did 2 edits: changed the screen dpi to 180 and renamed the tab to SM-N900S to get the note toggles and recents.

Heres the link to my changed file. Dont forget to change permissions and backup the original :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0msxiw9pgp3nvu/build.prop?dl=0

Changes:

- Renamed product name lines to SM-N900S to change the toggles

- changed dpi to 180

The dpi changes mess up the gallery app so I replaced it with quickpic from the playstore which is really good an my favorite gallery app for all my stock android devices. The samsung keyboard also has a bit of unused space on the right in landscape mode.

Heres a video of what it all looks like. Sorry about the bad picture quality but screen recording adds quite a bit of lag to my device. It all runs flawlessly and smooth.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uv63lns359w8yzo/SCR_20140902_204452.mp4?dl=0

Meanwhile I found a mod to get the notification drawer blurred and transparent. Check the screens below...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] T3snake:
Howd u get it transparent though?

Instead of setting dpi for all use app settings and just set systemui to 180 so no misbehavin apps
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] rlrmineiro:
It's an Xposed module called blurred system ui.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] T3snake:
Serajr's right?

The thread said tht it doesnt work great with tab ui

Now gotta try it...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
Its working good bro

Using it since first release
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Estevão Antolin:
I'm using a tab 3 7 inch and I don't know how much I have to put in dpi field, the stock value is 160, and in 180 it doesn't work fine, the keyboard stop and many other functions crash down.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] sscsps:
You have to find alternatives for all the things that crashed, or change dpi only for systemui as T3snake suggested (though I don't know how to change dpi for selective app)

[MENTION=5632655]T3snake[/MENTION] can you please explain how to do that?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
By using xposed module 'App settings'

Using that you can change dpi for particular apps and do alot of things with it
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] prezesziel:
Proper values

Hi everyone

On rooted stock T-210 KK (italian) I'm using these values in build.prop:

ro.sf.lcd_density=140

name=SM-T230

device=SM-T230

IMO the best options so far. Everything look and feel like Galaxy Tab 4, except maybe rounded icons in SecSettings and TW, which is not scalling properly.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Estevão Antolin:
Thanks man, I'll try this configuration!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] safariking:
ro.sf.lcd_density=155 is better
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] Estevão Antolin:
in 140 the gallery doesn't fit well to the screen

did you change the both value of "ro.sf.lcd_density"?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] prezesziel:
I've checked and the value '155' is indeed better as suggested above. I've made a modification only in this section:

# System property for Default Brightness

ro.lcd_brightness=195

ro.sf.lcd_density=155

The Gallery and TouchWiz fit quite well.

The only issue I have is that Chrome sometimes crashes while typing on stock keyboard, but maybe it isn't related to messing around with 'build.prop'.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
I faced the same issue

Download chrome library for samsung from playstore

Kinda worked and speeded up too

But i do get fc's but very rarely
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] ethical ricado:
Literally, this density is better than all other i tried

Thanks \m/
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] prezesziel:
Thanks for the answer, but for me this advice does not apply. I had it installed before and after I started to modify 'build.prop'. I tried to reinstall both Chrome and CSSL but it did not help.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] LaShto34:
Starting from the idea that there are hidden features into my device, I modified my SystemUI by comparing different xmls (dimens, drawables) and changing different pngs and I maded a SystemUI identical with the one that appears when changing build.prop values. The only thing that remained stock it's recent menu. It looks like in the pictures posted below.

This is SystemUI for GT-P5200 from stock deodexed 4.4.2 rom. I maded for me and I posted it here for others that would like to try it. This way there will be no more problems that we meet when making changes in buid.prop.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterpeter1:
Hi, started this thread to see if anyone had the same problem I'm having with my screen.

I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (Octa-core variation), it is running 4.4.2, rooted, stock Touchwiz.

The problem is that the screen starts to flicker almost as if it would want to turn off, when in low light conditions and auto-brightness on, it continues to flicker unless I set the brightness between +2 and +5. I can reproduce the issue without auto-brightness setting the brightness to the lowest, one notch above the lowest and there is no flickering. It is noticeable in white backgrounds and also when swiping down the notification center, that's the most noticeable instance but you can see it in the home screen and in any app.

I started noticing it when I had 4.2.2 Jelly bean (rooted), and I updated to Kitkat hoping it would be solved but it is the same, I updated through Kies and rooted, no Factory reset, I want to try that as last resort.

Funny thing I discovered is when I set Juice Defender to control my brightness it does not flicker even in -60% brightness, but when the dimming happens before the screen turns off it does flicker (and the dimming thing is controlled by the OS I think, not Juice Defender).

I wish I could put up a video but I don't have another phone to film it.

Anyone know if this is software or hardware? What can I do?

I'd like to add, that I changed the battery, disabled overlays in developers option, forced GPU rendering, tried Pimp my rom and played with all the settings, checked and unchecked every option in Display settings and it still flickered given the low brightness conditions.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mousumst:

[HTC One E8] rtyagi2000:
I was searching about HTC One E8 and suddenly I struck into a blog claiming that HTC One E8 will be launching in Mid of July in India. They have specified many specs of HTC One E8. But I am confused with such features how this smartphone is available with such low price. I am really interested in buying this smartphone.

Someone please check out whether it is really true or they are just specifying the expected specifications at HTC One E8 Price in India.

However, can someone tell me some Pros and Cons of HTC One E8? And whether it is good to buy it or there is another good budget smartphone available in India?:cowboy:

[Nook Touch General] viniosity:
I just bought a new nook simple touch and had assumed it would come with version 1.2.1 so I followed the instructions from this article on MakeUseOf.

As it turns out my Nook was on 1.1.0. Rooting seemed to go fine but I don't seem to have multi-touch. I haven't tried the 174 or 176 kernel instead taking the recommendation and using the one that jptiger put together in this thread.

So my question is: did I screw this up by not upgrading to 1.2.1 first? If I go to settings it still shows the software version as 1.1.0 even though I've rooted. How can I ensure I've got the latest/greatest kernel?

EDIT: Ok, I upgraded to 1.2.1 and then rooted again. Multi-touch still doesn't seem to work for me. Did I miss something?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Do you have the right kernel? (I've lost track of them.)

Did you modify /system/etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml:

<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen" />
[b]<feature name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch" />[/b]
[Nook Touch General] viniosity:
I do have both those lines in my required_hardware.xml file. As for the kernel, I read on another forum that this was the latest/greatest.. if there's another recommendation I would love to have it!

Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] viniosity:
Hmm.. I wonder if it actually works but it's not supported in the default browser app or Opera Mobile. Possible?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, that's possible.

Load UsbMode.apk from the signature.

Among the things it does, it shows you touches.

Just touch anywhere that isn't buttons.

(On my cell phone, it will show that it tracks 5).
[Nook Touch General] viniosity:
I installed your app and when I touch the screen two places I see that it's captured and two sets of coordinates show up.

But when I use an app like reddit is fun I can't zoom in on images or anything although this works with the same app on the my Nexus 4.

It's obviously not critical but it's confusing me as to why it registers in your app and yet I can't seem to use the functionality. Bad choice of kernel?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
UsbMode is just showing what should be available to any app.

Are you certain that the exact same apk is running on both devices?

I don't know that application at all.
[Nook Touch General] viniosity:
Most likely different versions of the same app. Also it turns out I had Opera Mini installed instead of Opera Classic. The latter supports multi-touch zooming just fine so it's definitely an app level issue. Mystery solved - thanks for the guidance!
