[MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION], I second this. To me, the tiny icons with huge spaces between them in the app drawer and the little pull-down and navigation controls look like a phone os implemented on a tablet. In fact, the icons, text and pull-down are smaller than on my OnePlus One running CM12.

I've just changed the tablet back to 400DPI using Textdroider, the only annoying thing is that I have to do it after every update.

I have used other ROMs were the DPI settings were kept, but it's not the case of this one.

I just got this tablet on sale today... But like any flashaholic should do, I checked XDA first. I was really impressed by the amount of development for this device (especially noticing this rom). Normally I wouldn't go for a Samsung device as the slow Touchwiz UI got to me back when I had a Galaxy captivate, Note, and finally the Note 2. Thank you for creating such a great rom here...

I'm using the tablet now and it feels extremely similar to when I've used the Nexus 9. The 1226 build is quite stable so far and I am super thankful for devs like you [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION]! Keep up the good work! A beer on me is coming within the week :good:
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] dr4stic:
I'd like to echo the sentiment strongly preferring the 400 dpi setting over the 320. I've never understood the desire to have the smallest elements possible on a screen, it's a battle I've been fighting for 25 years.

The merits of one over the other aside, I noticed the patch on gerrit indicated that the 400dpi caused more problems than it solved. Would you mind telling me/us what problems we're dealing with by staying at 400dpi instead of remaining with the 320dpi which is now the default? Also, what if an alternate, such as 360dpi is used instead?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] Alexey71:
For example in the Google market, not all applications will be at 360-400dpi. eg dead trigger 2...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] crpalmer:
As I said about 1 page ago, 360dpi is not a valid dpi. There are only specific values that are supported:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr....0/core/java/android/util/DisplayMetrics.java

Therefore, 360 is not a good option. The entire android system really doesn't want that as there are is code that specifically says "if density == 320 then aapt resolution is xhigh", etc.

400 is a wonky one there where it specifically says that apps should not target it. The density is mapped to a set of drawables in the apk and there are no drawables for 400dpi. That means things get scaled for you. In cm-11, I found that the 320dpi caused weird problems such as chrome jacking up its tabs and other apps rendering strangely. I have no idea why 400 made that better, but I didn't want to make such a drastic change in the middle of cm-11 so I left it as it was but immediately switched cm-12 to that dpi. Now, presumably because it's the system responsible for scaling drawables, I'm seeing some of those same problems in cm-12.0 but now when using 400dpi.

Hello [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION].

Hope everything is fine with you.

I recently updated this rom to the 12/24 nightly and have experienced many difficulties trying to play videos from any browser. I have tried Chrome, opera, and the stock browser but each time a video starts playing it immediately jumps into full screen and hangs on a black screen. Maybe 1/100 videos will play but most of the time its impossible to watch anything (excluding netflix and youtube)

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? And if so do you think there might be a fix coming for it shortly?

I don't mean to ask for ETAs and i really appreciate all the amazing work you have done for us and our tablets

Thank you

I have flashed the 28/12 build.

I went to Settings\Device\Buttons and enabled the On Screen Nav Bar and the Left Handed option to give a try.

Now every time I press the Settings\Device\Buttons the Settings app crashes.

I want to disable the Nav Bar but I can't. I cleared the Settings app data but it didn't fix it. Is there any way to avoid factory reset?

It is not a 28/12 issue. I have noticed it before several nightlies ago.

Install 28/12 great work, everythings seems to be working except bluetooth a2dp audio, regardless of the music player and the type of bluetooth device.

No crashes/restarts whatsoever.

With stock kernel and no battery saver mode I had 9hr 20min SOT.

All of it was either MXplayer offline video, chrome, YouTube, 8ball pool, leo's adventure.

Some features I had like to see :

Status bar network activity.

Nav bar adjustments

I am on the 28th. Just bought the tablet yesterday, rooted and flashed the 28th update. What a change after experimenting with the buggy touchwiz firmware. I am yet to find a bug with this port. Everything seems to be working great. No issues with WiFi, battery drain etc. The only issue I found is the screen brightness adjustment from the notify bar dims to blank screen when you lower the adjustment. Everything else runs great. Didn't try the Bluetooth audio. Great job OP
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] dr4stic:
I do apologize. I did go back about 3 pages looking through the discussion, thinking I hit the time/date when the patch came out. Looks like if I'd gone back a 4th, I'd have seen it.

I do appreciate the pointer to the display metrics. It's unfortunate as it's such a high density screen. Images look stunning, but icons and text get difficult to read with older eyes :( It's even more unfortunate that the scaling doesn't work as expected, especially for apps written by el Goog themselves. Normally I wouldn't care about the performance lost on scaling, but functionality is a different story all together.

Thanks again!

FYI: I finally switched to CM12 on my Nexus 5 and with a relatively fresh install I was also noticing higher than usual battery drain. Therefore I think it's a general CM12 bug, and not specific to our device.

Also, a bluetooth bug where a notification (or sometimes just an adjustment to the volume) will cause the volume to ramp up really loud till everything distorts ridiculously. That's also a general CM12 thing, in case anyone else has seen it. It happens on my N5 and Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] the Doctor:
I don't like battery life discussions because they are so subjective and battery life is too complicated to be scientifically measurable and consistent in most cases. That having been said, I've noticed very few problems with battery life running CM12 on my N5, 1+1 or Tab Pro, all of which were running CM11(s) before. Maybe I'm just lucky.

How to install CyanogenMod on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] 530farm:
So if I was on a bone stock tab, I would use heimdal to flash a recovery(can it be twrp or does it have to be cwm?) then I can just install cm and gapp zips in the recovery? No need to root until I instAll cm?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] the Doctor:
Correct, and TWRP is fine. I flash recovery with Odin but that's my preference.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] 530farm:
If i was to use Odin, could i go straight to flashing a recovery? Or would I need to root first? Could i just download the twrp.img.tar file and then select that under the PDA file, and click 'start', with out rooting? Then I could install cm and supersu via recovery?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] the Doctor:
After this, please PM me with questions or start a thread in Q&A. I'd rather not keep dragging this thread off topic ;)

You don't need to root to flash because CM12 comes pre-rooted and root isn't necessary to flash a recovery. Flash a recovery with Odin or Heimdal, then use that recovery to flash CM12 and Gapps.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] smknutson:
A warning! I used my SDFix app to try and allow the system to move apps to external sd as it was failing, and it somehow screwed up both the directories of my external sd and the boot process, and after entering recovery to try and reinstall, twrp can't see any of my .zip files on external, and I'm now in a infinite boot animation.

How long did you wait? When flashing a lollipop ROM you need to wait about five or so minutes before it actually boots on first boot as stated in the OP.

If it takes more than say ten minutes make sure you only flash the proper Google Apps and ROM to ensure an incompatible mod isn't preventing boot.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] 530farm:
After charging my tab over night while left on the tab was unresponsive. So I held the power button to get it to restart. It would get to the cm boot animation and after about 5 seconds would just turn off completely. Tried this multiple times. I booted into twrp and wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions, restarted system and now it's been stuck on the CM boot logo for about 5 minutes. Any ideas?

Edit: ended up wiping dalvik cache and system and reflashing rom. It got the tab to boot but all my apps where gone.

Are you restoring Tapatalk from a backup or something?

If you actually did a clean flash in recovery (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache) AND installed the app fresh from the play store (not restoring the app from TiBu or something similar) then there's either an issue with the app or with the ROM. The latter seems unlikely, but logs (logcat moreso than dmesg/kmsg) are going to be needed.

Lastly, these builds are unofficial and experimental. Expect issues.
