Sure I do. I unpacked the 132 firmware from the other post to get the system.img file. It is less than 1gb so it ok to fastboot.

I had to restore the phone back to 132 with system.img before I could do a restore with the 132 complete restore firmware because the 132 will not install onto a phone with 128 which is what came on the plain ham2 phones. The guy that posted those images was our salvation.

Reinstall factory recovery

This will restore your phone to factory

1. Download the 132

2. Use huaweiupdateextractor - search google for it

3. open the firmware (update.app) in the program and right click on system.img and extract to a folder

4.Put at the base of a drive. ex(c:\system.img)

5.Put your adb and fastboot files at the base to.

6. open command prompt

7. change drive letter to that drive ex c:

8. Put your phone in bootloader mode

9. Back to the command prompt and - fastboot flash system system.img

10. wait for it to finish.

11. restart your phone. and copy the dload folder with update.app to your memory card.

12. go to system update in your settings and select local update.

13. let it finish and you are back to factory.

14. reinstall twrp recovry and restore the twrp image and you good to go.

New camera app

Have you had time to upload the original camera app? That 13mp can make quite a difference. Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I doubt its the camera app.. Its the drivers from the 8mp camera. You will probably have to do some file editing and file transfers to get the 13 mp back.

It was was backed up with root uninstaller. I use camera kk from the market. It is the same as the google camera but it takes pictures in 13mp. The above file in the previous post is the original camera that came with the phone.

That's the gallery app. If you happen to have to camera app I would like to have it. Smoother than the nexus one.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
I think there is no app or it is embedded somewhere. I have not found the location.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
It's in system folder. A twrp backup of the stock firmware would work. Data folder can be skipped.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] oncouch1:
No camera apk in a non cc version in system or anywhere else I could find.

Update

I just searched with esfilemanager and the only camera information on a standard mate2 is coming up in framework and jar no apk found.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You are correct. Did some digging. There are a few posts of ports to others devices for it. Looks like I am not the only one that likes that camera.

Hi, I am using a stock but unlocked HTC ONE XL (AT&T) . When I connect my phone with my pc ( Windows 8.1 x86) In fastboot mode it says "unknown device" with "Code 43" error. but sync manager finds my phone in other normal times.

I had the HTC sync Manager installed, drivers installed, even Installed Update for Windows 8.1 (KB2917929). Now what do i do ? Please Help !

HTC One XL

Firmware Version: 2.20

Root Status: Not rooted

Network Lock Status: Unlocked

HBOOT- 1.14

Windows 8.1 (32bit)

USB 2.0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nicolahaye:
Fastboot won't work with windows 8.1. You're gonna need either an older version of windows or some kind of virtual machine I guess ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paras33:
there is an xda trick to do that...just google fastboot win 8.1 xda
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] da_djoker:
Can you give me the link please ? a lot of them is about how they will work only on USB 3.0 but not 2.0 ! and another one is updating drivers for windows 8.1 (which i already did). still nothing !
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Honestly, don't bother, the chances of you getting fastboot working on 8.1 are so slim. You'd be much better off investing your time and energy into getting hold of a PC with win8 or below on it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
originally for KITKAT roms only. Settings should work fine on lollipop.

OK, so I love changing the DPI of my phone and apps. so i thought why not share what I know with others.

These are the apps that I feel are needed to be changed , so if you think i missed one just tell me and I'll add it.

another note i don't use the touchwiz launcher and different roms can use one that's modded.

of course your phone needs to be ROOTED

you can use whatever app you like to change your DPI, I used xposed app settings and would suggest the same

NOTE 4 default DPI is 640

In xposed app settings to change your system DPI you turn on

android system & system ui

and change it to your desired DPI (320 for me).

(you can also change it using the build.prop)

I guess its necessary to say this:

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR DPI IN ANY WAY, DO AS STATED BELOW

These apps you will need to change back to stock: 640

camera

camera test

com.sec.android.gallery3d.panorama360view

com.sec.android.ofviewer

com.sec.android.sviewcover

com.sec.phone

contacts

gallery

incallui

com.android.mms

phone

photo studio

s health

samsung camera filter

touchwiz home

video trimmer

not changing some can cause it to not function properly or FC

These setting are recommended if you use them:

S-Voice

- you don't have to change the dpi to stock unless you want to but if you get a FC change the screen dp to 480x854

Samsung Keyboard

- you can leave it the same as your new DPI or change it to stock DPI if the secondary icons alignment bothers you, check the box 'apply res to widgets',

Lockscreen (com.android.keyguard)

- you don't have to change this one back to stock but if you use lockscreen security the bottom will look weird

- to change it to stock, enter the stock DPI (640) and check the box 'apply res to widgets'. A reboot will be requried

Smart Remote

-change dpi back to stock and change screen dp to 320x480

Calendar

-if you use it I recommend you change it back to stock because the on screen notification size will be off

Wink app

-it will think your using a tablet and causes issues so change to stock

Swiftkey

-resize using keyboards builtin resizer

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO HIT SAVE ON EACH ONE AND REBOOT YOUR PHONE AFTER

IF I MISSED ANYTHING OR YOU WANT ANYTHING ADDED PLEASE TELL ME :)

THIS ARE MY PERSONAL SETTINGS AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THE SAME ITS AT YOU OWN FREE WILL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xfachx:
Hey, thanks for the expansive list! I wanted to do something with the DPI as well but I didn't know what it would look like.

Would you mind sharing some screenshots of your modified UI. Just want to get a good idea of what it looks like before I jump in. :laugh:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
sure just give me a bit I am actually at work lol. I will try to do a before and after.

my launcher is google now btw and i should probably turn off my wanam too lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] abn.geek:
Any idea what to change so that the fingerprint scanner stuff on the lockscreen lines up properly? At 540 the text and the arrow are moved over to the left. I haven't been able to find the magic setting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
images uploaded

i addressed that. if you use the fingerprint scanner and change its DPI it wont line up. you either have to live with it or change it to stock
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xfachx:
Thank you for the visual comparisons! Definitely gonna play with it for sure. I feel that the UI elements are just too large and its confusing since its a large phone with higher resolution! Appreciate the screenshots!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dawheat:
Man I don't know why it doesn't work for you - see my fingerprint lockscreen attached - build.prop is set to 480 and modifying keyguard worked for me (setting via appsettings to 640 and apply res to widgets checked and then full reboot). This was when I was setting up my phone so I did clear cache and dalvik cache in TWRP at some point, though I'm pretty sure this worked before doing that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
That's what I said. You have to change keyguard back to stock (640) or it won't line up. I showed examples in the first post. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dawheat:
My bad - the way you phrased your response to that guy was a bit unclear.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
all is good :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] a_tumiwa:
what is your screen resolution?? full hd 1080 ??

Did you even read the first post? I even added pictures
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
thanks~ Was wondering why the incall pop up wasn't lined, i wasn't thinking to search for "incall" lmao
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] a_tumiwa:
i read it and view your images, but i didnt find u mention the resolution in width x height , only dpi
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
Well you ended up changing your DPI from the default 640 so you must correct the apps I listed. Thats why your camera doesn't look right.

Cuz notice you said your DPI changed to 401 hense a change in DPI
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GreenBot:
I have been changing DPI for my android phones since the first Galaxy One. I changed to an iPhone and now back to Galaxy Note 4. I really don't get why the screen elements are so big which render a big screen useless unless you have sight issues. They should at least give us options to do this officially instead of having to fiddle with rooting>exposed framework>changing dpi>setting each app up or even having to find specially sized apk files.

Come on Samsung! Is there a way to fix the S Health Pedo Widget after changing the DPI?

Thanks for the guide :):good:

Hey kendonsh. I implemented all your DPI changes (at 480) and really loving it. Can you please point me in the right direction how to fix these two minor issues - see screenshots:

2. When I add a frame to a photo it appears broken and too small
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Datblkbro:
this one isnt working when setting it back to 640.. (com.sec.android.sviewcover) when i close my sview case Im only seeing have the image buttom half is black out where sliders are...

Any suggestions??
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
1. I forgot about that one you have to change calender back to stock sadly enough

2. I am not having that issue, I'll attach a screenshot. I have been editing my settings this past week since I had a rom update. I'll double check the setting difference and let you know
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
do you mean the one on the lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
I dont have an sview for my note 4, only for my note 3 so i can you give you a suggestion. when you change the dpi to 640 check the box that says 'apply res to widget'
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] filounoir:
I have also this little problem with the black out space at bottom of the s-view window.

I tried till now all that came to my mind, also this "apply to widgets", only thing that worked, was going back to stock (640 dpi) resolution of the whole system.

There must be any other app or background that has also to be changed, but didnt found something till now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Madala_ZA:
Cool thx :) I would love some advice on how to fix the photo frame with 480DPI or 560DPI (currently on 560DPI).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RTbar:
Two issues i noticed after following op's instructions. First is the secondary icons on the samsung keyboard are slightly raised up. Second, the multiwindow bar icons are misaligned with some sort of containing box underneath them.

Sorry everyone been really busy with work due to the holiday seasons and haven't had that much free time to get on here. Plus I almost considered switching to a Note Edge but changed my mind.

looks like there i a lot of posts i need to read through as well as upgrade my rom and work on my settings. i feel so horrible neglecting my phone for this long.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
did you "apply to widgets"? and change dpi to stock if the secondary icons bother you. I dont use the samsung keyboard but i dont have that issue when I just switched to it and I see what you mean with the multiwindow bar icons mine but its only with the samsung cam gallery and messages apps for me and thats cuz the box "apply to widgets" is checked, I'll upload a pic of it along with the multiwindow bar

SCREENSHOTS ARE ATTACHED BELOW

I can zip my settings for you if you would like? cuz i am not having issues with my frames like I showed you with the screenshot.

I have had the same issue with the s-view cover on my Note 3 and no combo of settings have fixed it and i guess its the same for the Note 4. The part that controls the dpi for the s-view couldnt be singled out on the note 3.

all i can suggest is check "apply to widgets" and can anyone check if changing the screen dp helps cuz I am not getting an s-view for my Note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
I always change my dpi to 320 so i wouldn't be able to tell you which exact number, so shrink it until you like it but my guess would be 480??. Only app i ever noticed that had a tablet ui was pandora since i have seen it on others phones. also remember you cant change every app, so you can either change specific apps or change your system ui and correct the broken apps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
to fix s-voice change screen dp to 480x854, also it is not nessaccary to change the dpi to stock ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] duhitsrandy:
If you use smart remote, set it up before changing your DPI because it might make the setup FC but the app will still work fine

I discovered this thread after the fact and I did mess up my smart remote. Is there anyway to fix it once the dpi is changed? I tried the in app settings to change it back to 640 and that didn't work

Edit: I'm dumb. I had originally used textdroider dpi to change the dpi and after reverting that back to 640 smart remote opened fine. Now the problem seems to be that any changes I make in app settings don't do anything
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
wipe the cache and app data then uninstall the module, reboot your phone and reinstall. Did you undo the changes you made with textdroider dpi since your using app settings?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nimaim:
First of all, thank you so much for this guide, everything works perfectly at 480 making the changes you stated with Xposed/Appsettings. It's appreciated; I don't need fonts and text to be extraordinarily large like they are by default. I wonder what will happen when TW Lollipop comes out and Xposed no longer works; guess we will have to live with funky looking apps at that point (i.e. dialer, contacts, etc.) and find alternatives for others (i.e. camera whose controls are unusable if you change DPI).

^ EDIT: Wow, did not see the above. Modded TW launcher is awesome! Hoping for more apps to follow suit.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
IMO i think the only app i would replace is the launcher, i have done it in the past when i changed the DPI back when i used my note 2 and 3. Sometimes the app your replacing it with wasn't original from your rom or version. When you replace other apps sometimes you lose feature and the ability to update the app or if you flash a theme sometimes they don't theme.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
I will always change my DPI, and as long as I have the note 4 i will find a way to do it and maybe post another guide :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
I would really live it if I could find a tutorial on modding apps for multi dpi -_-
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
Wouldn't be a bad think to know. But for an app that gets updates it would be cumbersome
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gretschpr:
I also love to change the dpi...but in the past, I couldn't get SwiftKey back to stock dpi after changing the overall dpi (system). SwiftKey would work great but very tiny so I changed the dpi back to 640 on App settings and then it would look waaaaayyy too zoomed and unusable! Any recommendations?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] kendonsh:
Did you try the steps for the samusung keyboard for the swiftkey keyboard?

sorry i dont use it
