HI guys,

After installing a couple of other soft keyboards/languages the pop-up selector seems to slow down before popping-up.

A while back I found a thread which actually fixed this problem by exporting the registry, deleting the original and importing the exported registry back in, soft reset and viola, pop-up speed is back up to normal even if you have a list as long as the screen.

Problem is that I did not bookmark the wbepage/thread for the fix. Does anyone know of this, have the link etc. Looking to do a hard reset and reinstall and this is very useful.

Thanks for the assistance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
I just got the Note 4 today coming from the Note 2. I rooted and put a Rom on the Note 2 (slimbean) and it made the icons, ui, everything a lot smaller. Going on the Note 4 everything is a lot larger and I can't seem to find an option to change the ui size. I don't have a comparison screen shot on me at the moment but if you Google slimbean Rom you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

Is there anyway to change it? Rooting method is acceptable.

Sorry I don't know the name for this type of thing.

Here's a photo of my Note 2 with slimbean

Here's stock on the Note 4

Notice how everything is a lot wider open and smaller on the Note 2?

Change your DPI to 480 or 360 via build prop
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
Is there any tutorials on how to do this? I tried to do it on ES File Explorer but the root option isn't available and I just rooted it last night
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
I use FX Explorer. Also get FX Root.

Open FX >System (Root)>system (click the lock at the top right to show it unlocked).

Open build.prop and click the edit icon at top right

Change ro.sf.lcd_density=640 to a lower variable. 3dot menu and Save and reboot.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

This will most likely cause you to get Xposed as your phone and camera will seem fubar'd. If you want to keep it below 640 youll need to research Installing Xposed and getting the module App Settings and change certain features like phone and camera back to 640.

If you keep Xposed youll need to head back to build prop and change ro.securestorage.support=true (near the bottom) to false to get rid of laggyness. Youll also want to go to Applications Manager and go to All and find Shealth and HealthServices and delete data and reboot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
I changed it to 480 and it shifted the lock screen to the bottom left hand corner. It made everything smaller at least but I just changed it back to 640. The lock screen doesn't seem centered anymore.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Ive never had an 'off-centered' lock screen. I know not what you speak of.....

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

Im assuming youre back at 640 and its still looking odd? Screenshots?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
Maybe I'm just going crazy. It just doesn't look centered anymore. Looks like it's shifted to the left a little bit

Yes I'm back on 640. It was the only setting I changed
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
360 DPI
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Looks centered to me. Maybe your status bar icons are throwing you off. Loks centered on my side of the screen..

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Is that 640 Lockscreen, care to show a 480 Lockscreen?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
Here's 360. 480 is basically the same deal.

If it wasn't for the lock keypad being down in the corner and possibly being able to make the keypad numbers bigger I'd probably keep it

Oh well
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosrecords:
Please check the thread/guide I made last year for the note 3.

The same process apples here just some numbers change.

I will make a new thread with a guide shortly with alot more information.

For now refer to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507369

Download Xposed Framework

Download the "App Settings" module

You dont need to edit build.prop, or download Rom toolbox to do so.

Just run App Settings and change com.android.systemui DPI to 480 ( thats what I prefer)

If apps appear cropped ( like camera- com.sec.android.app.camera) change those individually to DPI 640

dp = px * 160 / dpi

640 is the "Stock DPI" within App Settings

480 is what makes the phone look "good" to me

320 is very small- think super tablet mode.

Experiment!

And remember you may need to edit/patch your google play store if you want the "tablet" version of apps to match your new dpi.

The LOCKSCREEN will not be centered if you change build.prop or the DPI of systemUI.

It may annoy you if you use fingerprint unlock..

I believe it can be addressed/ fixed but it would require recompiling/reprogramming systemUI and Im not really a programmer, just a tinkerer.

If I get time I will try to find a way to bridge that gap down the road
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Thanks [MENTION=2703264]chaosrecords[/MENTION] . I've always used swipe and nothing else. Never knew of the lockscreen flaw.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
It'll center the keypad on the lock screen?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Unfortunately, it wont. Just changed it on mine and same BS for me.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I understand your anxiousness to get backto the higher resolution (lower DPI) i came from the SGS3 and Slim was my DD also. Maybe in the future something will come along, Rom or Mod.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosrecords:
There are some apps that are tied together with touchwiz..

Contacts/ Dialer/ recent calls for example ( any app with a tab)

The dialer on the lockscreen may also be offset though.. I use the 9 dot grid ( and now fingerprint)

The lock screen requires editing and recompiling framework...

I found a thread here. not sure if it works

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2473618

I will try this out later and if it works i will post a guide specific to note 4 with screenshots for all the tweaks i did..

If I can safely do it, ill find a way to post the file here as well.

I mod my phone with so many tweaks I really should just figure out how cook my own rom up... Right now Im using Bonsai- Stockish Deodex for the Note 4.. Great starting point.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfp11289:
That seems like a lot of work :eek:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Go to lockscreen settings and the last one change Lockscreen to None.

Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.locker

Enable and set up and choose pin

Go into settings to disable notifications to take the status bar icon away (or itll be there always)

Pin Will be centered :)

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HurtMeSole:
Over the last few days I've been installing ROM after ROM attempting to fix the problem with my text messages to no avail. I basically bricked the device and spent all day attempting to fix the problem. I can't logically think of a reason everything would be fine except the texts and I was hoping to get some help. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Do you have the latest firmware installed?

If so I would suggest running the latest RUU and start fresh.

Sounds like you flashed a rom that is not compatible with Sprint and it messed up your partitions.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HurtMeSole:
I flashed the latest firmware but nothing changed. Would you suggest locking the bootloader and unrooting the phone and starting over?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] too.stoopid:
Unfortunately your Validus 5.0.2 build for amami doesn't boot. It gets stuck on Sony bootlogo. Did a full wipe before installation and used newest pa gapps.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
Thats why i didn't published it lollz u went too fast...i know it doesn't boot, im making another build now, its becuz i used 4.9 sabermod toolchain on rom but apparently all sony devices doesn't boot on it (z series, z1 series even z2) but i used it for kernel for the build im doing now...

Yes the camera is broken, until you fix it =) ...no im kidding, there's some fixes available but my good frien Omar tested it and not working yet but be happy, someone is working on it, not like my device...its just working now on sirius so its coming be patient.

I'd like to try this ROM, so I flashed it with twrp instead of cwm and (obviously following the instructions, factory reset, flashing boot.img from latest build etc.). Unfortunately, I get a black screen after booting. Would I really need to switch to cwm to flash it correctly?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jdstrydom:
If your bootloader was unlocked, you shouldn't be facing this issue. I flashed this with twrp. Didn't need to flash boot.img. Afterwards I flashed the fota twrp recovery via fastboot.

If you can get to recovery, you can wipe and just flash the rom. If you can't get to recovery, flash a working boot.img eg. Cm11 one and try again
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
Yes, bootloader is unlocked, I'm coming from RR Lollipop rom with twrp. I also tried it without flashing boot.img separately, but I still get a black screen. Perhaps, I have to download the build again...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
Yeah u may have corrupted while download...and make sure u make full wipes. If it boots on other devices , it has to boot on yours also
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
Yeah, file was corrupted, no problem anymore with the new download :)

Thx for the good work :good:

Sorry to ask this stupid question, but I'm not that familiar with making Android boot.img right now... :D

I tried to build a customized kernel from your Github (android_kernel_sony_msm8974, lp5.0 branch) and I end up with a zImage and zImage-dtb, which should be good :)

Unfortunately, I have difficulties to repack all again in a boot.img (tried already abootimg, several versions of mkbootimg, AIK etc). I know that the kernel size is different then, so I adjusted the bootsize. Trying the new bootimg with 'fastboot boot newboot.img' gives me the boot animation, but reboots nearly at the end. So I guess the kernel is ok, must be something else (adress or the like?, will do logcat later), any hints? :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
well my repo is out of date, im using now M5 kernel from Myself5 for my builds now.

the sources are here
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
Thx a lot, will try it :good::)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
it's still not working... :( I used the ramdisk from the ROM, so must be something missing in the kernel conf (I guess). Could you PM me a working config for comparison?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
lot errors spamming,

i don't really get it since im building the whole rom the way it is now, on m5kernel branch. (wich is already highly modified btw)

i will make a new build to see how it goes...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
Sorry for asking :)

I thought comparing the .config of the working kernel and my build could help me to figure out, if something is missing...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
wich ".config" ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] yogi77:
The kernel config. It seems the kernel in the ROM isn't compiled with IKCONFIG, so there is no /proc/config.gz in the running kernel. My idea was, if I could compile the kernel with the original settings / config, my phone should boot without problems (and afterwards I could do my modifications) :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Alx31:
i reworked it this morning
