How to change DPI settings on Note 4

Hey guys, anyone who's into the DPI thing, I recommend giving this a go: Changing Note 4 DPI Settings. It's an excellent guide by [MENTION=843565]kendonsh[/MENTION]. I changed to 480DPI (stock is 640 DPI) and it looks just beautiful! The guide shows exactly which apps to keep at 640 DPI. Well worth a look if u wanna get more real estate on this amazing screen :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hopefully once we learn more about multi dpi you will be able to keep all your apps at 480. This is in the planning! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
This would be amazing :highfive:

Is it possible make a TW Luncher with standard Grid and fakejap?

THX ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Sure! Will be done...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ernani:
Great ROM dax! But I have to admit that I'm feeling kind of lost after so many features you added to the original verison in the OP, which are hidden in the 42 pages of this thread. Would you consider releasing an updated ver. 2?

Once again, congrats!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Yes! I think towards the beginning of next week we will gather our stranded works together and put up an update. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
love the ROM, many thanks, when you do the update pls add in the ability to support transparent notification bar, I had transparent notification bar with the stock ROM (using NOVA, with transparent notification bar option enabled) but this not working on this ROM, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hey mate. .. let me fix it for ya now...

Open the potato gradient app and set both colors from black to tansparent. You might get to enjoy it even before the update ;)

Cheers and THANK YOU!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
thanx! done and working perfect, appreciated!

The only thing missing (for me) from the disabling of Exchange security (hate having to put in a pin every single time I wake up phone), On my LG G3 and HTC One custom ROMs they had the exchange security disabled mod built in, really hope that this can be done for this ROM, and more bloatware removed, and ... and , ok I know I'm pushing it now, :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dilgit:
Thanks for an excellent rom.. Smooth, quick and stable... Is there a possibility to have screen capture option in the shutdown menu?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Well it is possible and I did make a mod like that in the past. But I mean... with so many options for screenshots, like palm gesture, button combo, screen write... is it really necessary?

we really can do that, and we have spoken about it for our s5 rom, and we decided against it.

I really don't know. . You guys think is necessary? [MENTION=5493353]Wuby986[/MENTION]? Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
If i am not mistaken it is also possible to add it via gravity box, so if anyone wants to have it as a personal mod it is possible to enable it..

But also if you guys thinks it worth we can do it..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
No dear, you're not pushing. ..

1. Exchange security removed? Done. Will add for the next release. As an option to install through our new app.

2. Debloating? I am sooooooo the wrong person to talk to abiut it... you know how some people squeeze the last little bit from Samsung apps? That would be me... I always have full roms. But we will add an option to debloat once we decide what is safe or not. I really don't like all those "debloaters" that leave you with half functioning device because the dependancies in samsung are unpredictable. ..

Let us work on it, alright? I promise you will get a solution.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] leonlfm:
Hey Daxgirl yesterday i tryed the Xnote rom, but I'am back again here because i like this rom more. Only i have 1 small problem after flashing the rom.

When i go to sound settings then Volume then you have the settings for ringtone and one for messages normaly you can change them seperate from each other, but now when i change my ringtone sound the message go also. Do you know what i can do? I did already a fresh installation. I think there must be a solution in gravity box or Xposed installer but i don't know where to look.

Already thanks:o:o
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Yep! It is in gravity box. I currently don't have it installed, but if my memory serves me right, it's in media. There is an option there that has a "v" on it as default. Called... "link notification and ringer volume" or something of sorts. I am pretty sure if you uncheck it, it will be fixed, mate ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Exchange security removed in new update? Yes pleeeez :D rocking the business as always dax :highfive: Edit: PS remember transparency on MW if still ok..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
I am sorry... who are you guys? ;) Deep in the debris of java and bash... LOOOLLLLLLLLLLL help!!!! I need a break!!!

Yeah we will add the mod for removed security.

Cheers!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Umm who are we? well HUUUGE fans of your work for starters ;) nuff said?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Nuff said indeed! And thank you! When you spend a day inside fragments and methods and scripts, you start appreciating human contact even through tapatalk!

You people are simply the best! If we can make the next release better for you, this spitting blood on my lcd today will be worth it ???
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] leonlfm:
Thank you very much wat you tell me, It's working now:good::good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
My pleasure!!! :) glad to see ya back, man!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sonic76:
Hi Daxgirl,

How can i get "PullUP From FakeJap.apk" working on my stock TW luncher?

I've install both (PullUP From FakeJap 1+2) apk's bud they didn't work.

Is there a missing link in framework?

regards

Sonic76
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hey! I did not forget you my friend! I was just very busy today!

It's a smali mod I am afraid and I will make it for you as soon as possible. Hopefully tomorrow morning!

Sorry I didn't get to it by now!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sonic76:
No Problem, i thought the mod is easy to do for me! ;)

....do your work first!!!

Thank You

[MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION], I see not many people discuss about your kernel, which is in fact very nice. I've been using it since yesterday and it feels very snappy and battery friendly so far. Good job!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Thank you! We really appreciate the feedback! I have to say that from the remarks of people who have been using it it does a hell of a job indeed.

I have outstanding battery life and the responsiveness and stability are bulletproof. Which was the main goal.

We don't ask questions or discuss it because we believe we gave people a choice and they should use it if they wish. And we don't want to pressure anyone to use it. That is of course until the next update. Which will come with 2stroke as kernel. But of course in our new app you will be given a choice to download and install any other kernel (that we recommend) directly.

Thanks again for your report :) and welcome!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
have noticed small graphic glitch, if one is using a 3rd party launcher (I'm using nova), and I hold on an icon and get option to edit it, it opens a page showing Built In icons, (and other icon packs if installed) when this page loads the screen flickers initially (just once), any idea why?, didn't see this on stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Tried to reproduce this - didn't manage! I will keep an eye! We did not change anything that could have anything remotely to do with that. So my guess is... software glitch! I switch icons on nova quite alot. I will keep observing!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
ok, I think I did something dumb and incidentally deleted an apk that the Stylus (SPen) needs... all other functions work but whenever I select Smart Select from the Air Command I get an error popup saying the is no application to handle that selection...? if someone can select Smart Select from Air Command and see what app it opens that's probably the apk I deleted (me the dimwit) and could you upload the apk so I can get it again, thanks.

App Drawer | Sort Order

Hey dax, a request (if you don't ask you don't know if you'll get) :) is it possible (at some distant future date) to add sort order to the drawer: alphabetical and date installed?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hey, see if this is it

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uqx6zilm5pld58f/SmartClipService.apk?dl=0

Push into /system/app and give 644 permissions
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Isn't it possible right now?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
GOT IT!! its PinBoard apk that was missing, thanks for trying to help, much appreciated, especially since it was own F-up!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Did you remove one of those apps?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Yup kinda. It doesn't have sort order by date. No big deal tho.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
wanted to try 2 stroke kernel, flashed it but now on bootup screen there are the yellow and red notifications 'this kernel is not seandroid enforcing' or something... hopefully the ROM update can remove these little notifications. Kernel is great!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
This notification is normal. The kernel is selinux permissive and that is the reason.

Enjoy! And THANK YOU! Really, from the bottom of our 2stroke powered hearts! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] friedrich420:
think of it as purely a cosmetic revenge from samsung because now you have a permissive kernel (which is a good thing!!). There's nothing a developer can do to remove that my man but its meaningless (albeit ugly and annoying..). The only way not to have it is to flash a stock kernel..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
On a custom kernel that is seandroid permissive like the one that daxgirl builded is always present that string in red and yellow.. The yellow one says you that you're using a custom package.. The red says is not enforcing..

Same goes for any custom recovery you flash...

Nothing is affected by this.. Is only a message that shows you that the pack is custom.. It's a bootloader thing
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Wow... I think the reply to [MENTION=3085865]Jostian[/MENTION] is. .. well... from literally EVERYONE. Mine was the laziest though... ???????
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] friedrich420:
lol :D but fastest ;)

i think theres prob more people wondering (esp if they are 1st time samsung phone users)...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Well it takes me a while to switch from java to tapatalk ;)

Anyway yeah, I remember my first time (with selinux "permiscuous" crap). Did make me skip a beat..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
thanks all for the clarity and explanations, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
So anyway, people...

I know we have kinda disappeared for a while, so I wanted to give you a sneaky peek at what we have been up to...

I'm telling ya, we're no java programmers, so this thing comes with labor pains!

But it IS coming!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Holy @#&!! you guys are just the business :highfive: :D

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

I think Knox is affected. But who really cares about that :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Seriously.. thanks! But we're just trying new things... on YOU! lol! Thank you!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
Yeah knox of course.. I am just too used to have it voided that i don't even think to it anymore [emoji23][emoji23]
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Me too ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
I remember... gsus!

Anna: "Wuby, please don't void the warranty yet... check if all hardware is alright first. .."

Wuby: "yeah... good advice... I am by now doing a system dump..."

Seriously! Was it even 15 minutes? Loolllllll
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
Yeah.. More or less.. I waited till i got home, had dinner and the after dinner has been a voiding knox party [emoji23][emoji23][emoji41]
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Too cool for school [emoji41] [emoji41] [emoji41]
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Hahahaha and thought I was bad on day two :D Wuby you make me look like it's my first time on Android device ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Ahahahahahahaha you will have to get in line... this fella makes everyone look like that ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Wuby986:
Based on my experience i still am a noob ;) till you are alive you can learn new things :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
been using the 2 stroke kernel, wow great battery life (thanx), but, sorry yes there is a but, when in Power saving mode on Note 4 there seems to be massive lag, when I wake phone and swipe screen to unlock it takes about 2 seconds to open home screen and if I select an app (tap on it) it takes at least 3 seconds to register tap on app icon... and if I go to app drawer and swipe to get to next page of apps again it takes a few seconds to register the swipe. ONLY when using power saving mode!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hey!

Wow, battery saving on samsung sucks!

I never use it! It kicks the scaling speed to maximum clocking to a disgrace! And it messes up the gpu rendering like crazy! And what's more important, it doesn't save that much battery.

I am on stock settings with 2stroke. Meaning governor interactive and i/o cfq. The only thing I "tweaked" I'd limiting the max frequency with screen off to under 2Ghz.

Samsung power saving mode is always quite laggy, it is on s5 and on note 3 as well.

I haven't used it on stock and am not using now. And the reason is - on all my precious devices it sucks! If you want to save battery - tweak your own profile.

Also, I didn't tweak anything in stock behaviour of the kernel. So in power saving mode it's supposed to behave just as stock. And by that I mean - its supposed to suck just as much! ;)

I am attaching the only "tweak" I have ;)

Edit:

If you really want to save power like crazy (and I am not talking abiut upsm), turn on performance restriction but uncheck "limit cpu performance". Leave the display restrictions and set the screen to black and white for the time you need to conserve. Seriously, that will save wayyyyyyy more battery than limiting cpu. And you will not feel a difference in performance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Dax I'm just wondering if you have any ideas as I can't seem ti get this resolved in the original thread. When I change system and systemui DPI to 560, and after I make all the recommended changes from here, I still get a DPI error on my photo frames from the stock photo decorations app (and I've changed the DPI back to 640 for photo studio). See photo example attached.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Change the dpi back to anything that has to do with gallery, camera and editing. I actually work the other way around. I set stock dpi for the system and then I go into app settings app and change dpi to the apps I want to 480. Then I save the settings for app settings and it works like charm after wipe.

All works like charm! I recommend doing it like this!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Yup cool thx, that's how I have it now :) I kinda miss the extra real estate on the notifications dropdown when systemui is 560 or less - looks so big on 640. I actually always did it the same way as you, I only changed after I saw the DPI post linked above.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
I set the dpi for systemui to 480 no problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Khizar:
You never have problems tho.. Hahaha

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Well that is VERY true! Have been blessed with all my Samsung devices! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Khizar:
Hahaha.. Interesting how you brought sapple into the discussion.. BTW was chatting with Thomas yesterday, unlike you he loves sapple but accepts the negative along with the positive. Discuss sapple with him sometime.. ??

Sent From My One A0001 With AK Awesomeness!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
What negative? If there was negative, I would be glad to discuss! ???????
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Yup I prefer 560 on my eyes. some apps text just too small for me at 480. Anyway I can't go less than stock DPI on systemui cos it affects the photo frames on photo studio.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
[MENTION=3661110]quantumtraveler[/MENTION]

My systemui is now set to 480 and as you can see, no problem with frames in editor ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
i have systemui at 520 dpi and photo frames are messed up :( ? think its maybe one of the other Studio files that needs to be changed to 640 dpi.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] turilo:
I just change the gallery app dpi to the normal 640 or until you see frames looking normal again finding a good dpi just for the gallery app itself
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
i have gallery, camera, etc at 640 dpi but photo frames still messed...? obviously there are other files related to gallery and/or Studio that need to be changed to 640 dpi just not sure which?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Switch your entire system to 640 and change to 520 only the apps that you need. You will be fine

New firmware N910FXXU1ANK4

I've used your rom for a few weeks now, and it is definitely the best out of all the roms currently

available for the Note 4... And I've tried them all. I hope that version 2.0, will be based on the

new firmware N910FXXU1ANK4...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
I have same issue dunno why :( so I did same as dax, set system to 640 and then changed dpi per app. Only problem now is that system is 640 which is so big man and wastes real estate on notification dropdown.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tr72:
Apply a custom dpi to systemui in app setting and you will have notification panel as you like without breaking system.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Thank you so much, man!

The v2 will be based on the newest fw out there by the time we get to make it. We're currently very busy with some stuff, which includes real work (damn you, real work!). And we also prefer not to build on DBT bases because we prefer to mingle with csc as little as possible for you guys and DBT bases usually come a bit restrictive csc-wise.

Also the new Base for me all it says is the "different letters". Some of my friends that tried didn't feel any difference on functionality and performance.

We are aware of the "xda Base race" and we will not be participating. If the new 3 letters at the end is what matters to people, we're very sorry for their perception. I have seen developers drop everything on their personal lives and start cooking a new base just because it's out. I am sorry, never gonna happen here. The new update will come with new features of our development, when it's ready, not because someone on Korea has decided to drop 37mb (the number is an example) of new base and change the numbers.

I hope I am explaining our beliefs alright and you guys understand.

I mean, aren't you guys tired of being given a new rom with absolutely nothing new but 3 letters, AND asked to wipe data for it? Just something to think about!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Yep! That's exactly what I have been doing. My SystemUI is set to 480 and it's done along with other apps selectively using App Settings. The frames are working perfectly! And there is plenty room in the real estate of the notification drawer! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
Yip agree [MENTION=3661110]quantumtraveler[/MENTION], maybe Dax will bring out a 560 dpi version, cos 480 is just too much wasted space... hint hint nudge nudge :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
We will be working on multi dpi once we are done with our app development!

Hints are good, I like hints! Nudges are even better! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
I had another issue with 2 stroke kernel (sorry), put phone in Aeroplane mode last night and this morning I couldnt get the phone to register my swipes to unlock lockscreen, had to remove battery and restart phone, not major but just wanted to let you know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
What governor are you using? I am putting the device in flight mode everyday for couple hours and I never had this issue! This is just so weird! :-O
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
i dont have a cpu app so the gov will be whatever the default is, dunno why I'm the unlucky one with 2S kernel, sniff sniff...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Ahahahahahahaha no you're not! But do try to use stock kernel (you can find in second post) . See if your issues continue. And for that matter you can try and see if the issues continue with 2stroke. Like if it wasn't a one time event.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Madala_ZA:
Totally agree! And thank you for thinking like this!! :highfive:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jostian:
Sorry (don't laugh) but i accidently deleted your funky keyboard apk and am using the stock one (its so boring) could someone please supply me with Dax's one,thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
As I stated before and will repeat, we really welcome people expiriencing wide variety of roms. And, as we are not fast and frequent to update, you should know that I saw that Echoe rom has released an update based on the newest fw. And also the X-Note team is working right now on the new release that should be out pretty soon with actually HUGE change log! I personally always try other roms. Mostly for the kicks of enjoying some new amazing features!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Ahahahahahahahaha my dear you're trouble to your phone! I can see that!!! Lol! I do have a link for a Flashable zip somewhere. I will find and edit this post with a link! And stop apologizing already! Any question or weirdness is welcome here!
