[Nexus 9 General] WhammyDroid:
Can the wm density command be done through a terminal command?

Edit: It does via SU.
[Nexus 9 General] Taomyn:
So far so good for me - will see how it behaves of the weekend but everything certainly feels snappier for me.
[Nexus 9 General] Faixa-Preta:
Much appreciated, seems to really help the N9!
[Nexus 9 General] jib@rmi.ge:
I get this:

C:\Users\ix\Desktop>adb shell
root@flounder:/ # wm density
Error type 2
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to window manager; is the system running?
at com.android.commands.wm.Wm.onRun(Wm.java:81)
at com.android.internal.os.BaseCommand.run(BaseCommand.java:47)

at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.nativeFinishInit(Native Method)
at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.main(RuntimeInit.java:251)
1|root@flounder:/ #

The same happens when I issue this command as root from the terminal from inside device. When I say "wm density" there as a default user it replies "Physical density 320" but this user does not have permission to change this value.

Any ideas what can be the reason?
[Nexus 9 General] GiantAxe:
in that aspect i would suggest 316 instead (dividable by 4, 318 ends up with 79.5, or a subpixel)

but thats purely with the mind of a developer. because of dpi scaling. thus its always recommended to always use values that are dividable by 4

personally i use 288. mostly because im not blind so i dont need upscaling.

The only thing that broke for me was the skype emoticon ui. but thats not really a big deal.

edit: nvm, skype fixed itself magically
[Nexus 9 General] Niggo372:
This is unbelievable! My N9 became snappier and I managed to open and switch between 9!! tabs in Chrome without reloading (heavy sites, Engadget and such).

Thank you very much for this info!

[Nexus 9 General] WhammyDroid:
Interesting. What kernel and rom?
[Nexus 9 General] mbirth:
Edit the dpi in the build.prop, too, and SwiftKey should look fine again.
[Nexus 9 General] Marky__Mark:
I got mine on 316. Best setting. Dig this tablet so much more.
[Nexus 9 General] johna2u:
Can this be done on a purely stock unrooted n9?
[Nexus 9 General] IamDefyUser:
[MENTION=4382908]johna2u[/MENTION]..tried this on my unrooted N9 running marshmallow...it worked..i've used 316.
[Nexus 9 General] Master05:
Is there a difference in performance if I either choose 288 or 316? I don't care about slightly worse looks I just want performance. (Currently running 288)?

EDIT: If anyone has issues with swiftkey:

1. Edit in build.prop

2. Clear Swiftkey App Data (!)

Works perfectly great for me on 288 :)
[Nexus 9 General] kurtextrem:
I get this:
[Nexus 9 General] jib@rmi.ge:
Sorry should say that from the beginning, the kernel info reads 3.10.40-ElementalX-N9-4.01 and the rom is MRA58K; I've rooted it via boot modification by Chainfire and have SuperSU beta 2.51 installed, maybe this is related...
[Nexus 9 General] stavrinho:
If this trick improve the performance i will be a happier customer.

Because until know the performance of Nexus 9 is very very very bad! I have a nexus 5 also and the difference is huge.

I just made the change from 320 to 288.

Lets see from now on.

I will post as soon as i have any news.

Thank you :)
[Nexus 9 General] as.corazon.noble:
What about changing the resolution to 1080x1440 using the "adb shell wm size 1080x1440" command? The screen is more into "phone" layout (so I have to use another launcher, like nova); but I got to keep SwiftKey on stock rom and original 320 dpi density. Also, daily performance seems to be much more fluid.
[Nexus 9 General] kurtextrem:
Fixed. I've simply used an app from the Play Store which requires root to do that (there are plenty :))
[Nexus 9 General] PatSend:
Unbelievable. Really unbelievable.

I didn't expect this workaround to have an effect but this is outstanding. The device got snappier with Marshmallow, but setting density to 288 let the Nexus fly!

No redraws even with many apps opened and I can even use the Nexus while updating apps through the Play Store - and you all know that was pain in the ass before.

[Nexus 9 General] DonQuixote77:
Will this work merely by changing the setting by editing the build prop?
[Nexus 9 General] johna2u:
I'm tempted to do this but honestly mine seems to be working fine. How can I test this and duplicate the issue being fixed here to see if mine actually has the problem as well?

Started noticing redraws in Google maps..have set density to 316?
[Nexus 9 General] Master05:
EDIT: nvm...still having reloads on chrome dev
[Nexus 9 General] darren1:
I am trying this on my Nexus 10 which also suffers with memory issues related to its high screen resolution. I have set my DPI to 300 (from 320), which should be the native DPI for the resolution 2560 x 1600. It does seem snappier, with no noticable drop in screen quality.
[Nexus 9 General] rotatif:
Hi,

This is working for me, and looking at memory, i have 300mo more free ram than before!

(Now about 1.3Go used! Never seen this before).

So how screen density can use so much RAM?

Really thanks anyway!
[Nexus 9 General] Haggster66:
Thanks! I agree - have checked various settings and wasn't fully happy with any of them since the UI seemed strange - but 316 is perfect and everything is super fluid. No placebo here either, checked this via the infamous Chrome tab auto-reloading.
[Nexus 9 General] studenttwok:
Thanks for the input, will put on thread so others can see!
[Nexus 9 General] Taomyn:
Is there somewhere we can check to confirm the setting is taken and saved?
[Nexus 9 General] jib@rmi.ge:
At least for me, in response to "wm density" (from terminal or adb shell) the system responds with two lines, for physical density and override density. And it persists after reboot
[Nexus 9 General] kurtextrem:
adb shell wm density

the output is the current density :)
[Nexus 9 General] kacanghantu:
sorry guys for my silly question..can i change the density without root the nexus 9..thanks
[Nexus 9 General] johna2u:
I asked the same "silly" question earlier in the thread. Apperantly you can. I would suggest you read through the thread before making any changes to your device though.
[Nexus 9 General] Masteryates:
I tried 316 first but didnt like the look and felt no performance increase over 320. I've now gone for 288 and think its improved the performance a touch and things look better than on 316, even if a little small.

Will give it a few days then report back.
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
You actually notice a difference in the look at 316 opposed to 320? I barely notice.
[Nexus 9 General] dictionary:
Lol, I've been running this tablet at 220 or 240 on every ROM. Anything else just looks huge to me. Don't know about a performance increase though. Tablet felt the same on 320
[Nexus 9 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I'll give 280 a shot.. are most of you guys on 280?
[Nexus 9 General] kacanghantu:
is it affect game performance too guys?
[Nexus 9 General] Masteryates:
On 316, I noticed some things looking really big. I also noticed that I'd go into a chrome tab and it would sort of move things a few pixels every time. :rolleyes:

On 288, some things are smaller but others look the same as 320.

Has anyone done any benchmarking?
[Nexus 9 General] taronas:
Spot on!

I run at 266 from the beginning, can't stand how big everything is at the default DPI. But I have the same out-of-memory issues that everybody is having all the time. I think the lower DPI would even make it worse since there is more stuff to draw on the screen?

Anyway, the improvement that may are seeing is probably just due to the reboot for applying the setting, similar to reporting better performance directly after flashing a new ROM.

Where are the myth-busters when you need them? ;)
[Nexus 9 General] madbat99:
The only thing I notice is no more page reloads in chrome tabs. And for me that is enough to deal with any little out of size things. I can't stand chrome tabs having to re load. So far I have had no reloads. Been 4 days
[Nexus 9 General] Masteryates:
I'm on 288 and still getting chrome reloads on a 4th tab. My tabs are really heavy with team on fantasy premier league so others may be able to have more open without reload :confused:

I'm also getting occasional launcher redraws using the Google Experience Launcher. :rolleyes:

It would be really interesting to see the performance if someday someone soldered in another 1GB of RAM. Performance wise, a 2 year old Moto G running 1GB of RAM & Lollipop smokes this tablet. :crying:
[Nexus 9 General] pottersam:
Nexus 6p?

Awesome guide! I'd like to do the same thing with the Nexus 6p which is 2,560 x 1,440 pixels (518 ppi). How would I go about finding the right DPI to change the assets resolution for improved performance?
[Nexus 9 General] Philaphlous:
280 is awesome on the nexus 9. I had it on 261 earlier but it is just a hair too small for me...
[Nexus 9 General] enriquejones666:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Looks like anything below 364 DPI will give you xhdpi assets, instead of xxhdpi.

Yes, it's faster... but...

This made things snappier, but I did not buy a Windows tablet. If I wanted something more difficult to use with unfeasibly small buttons, I would have bought a Windows tablet. Instead, I bought an Android tablet that's made for regular folks like you and me.

att note 4 5.1.1 Odin update

I have the same problem. My att note 4 is on Cricket wireless, and I haven't noticed any OTA when checking for updates. I've read on another post that att pulled the update and sent it back to fix the install issue some are having (among other issues). I really would like to try a manual Odin firmware update and see if it goes through... Please, if anyone could provide the files, that would be great. I'm tired of waiting with this annoying battery drainage issue with 5.0 - 5.01...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Just an FYI, I have a friend on Cricket. When Cricket was still using the old carrier (was it Verizon?), Cricket released its own updates. Usually a month or so after the main carrier.

That was when Cricket had its own phone models though. My friend had an S4 and it was a Cricket model number.

If that fails, we'll need to wait for the Odin files for 5.1.1.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] j.c1998:
I have rooted my SWR50 previously and was trying to reflash stock in order to upgrade to 5.1.1, When I ran into the problem that lots of people have had with flashing stock. I don't know why, but when I tried installing STOCK LWX48P with 5.0.1, It said it was expecting different test keys than what was on my system. It needed tetra KNX01V 4.4.2 or tetra LWX48P 5.0.2, and it said I have omni_tetra 5.0.2 LRX22G which it is not compatible. I have tried many things and flashed quite a few "stock" roms and bootloaders for my smartwatch trying to get it back to stock, and it is possible one of the things I flashed was wrong for my system. I tried this same method with STOCK LWX48P 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 (5.1.1 being the update I'm trying to install in the first place). I had an idea to install KNX01V being the base firmware that the later firmwares build and patch off of, but I can't find a working download. If you have any ideas to fix my problem it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

On M TWRP now shows a system partition and system image. Both take up approximately 2gb of storage. What purpose does this serve? Before M I just had a system partition.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you're talking about the backup options in TWRP, it's nothing to do with M.. TWRP added the option to make a dump of the stock rom into a system image instead of a back up image (for fastboot flashing) The option is there regardless of what rom you are on.

The option is pointless for nexus users.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecksagon:
Ah I see. Should have read TWRP's release notes. So in most cases you would chose one or the other, probably just a system partition backup? Choosing both would just inflate the backup without any addition benefits.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
A normal backup would be system and not system image.

System image would be used once before you flashed your first custom rom, so you could create a flashable stock image.. But we would never need that on this device.. The option is superfluous.

Ok, built a new app phone switcher (flight mode on/off) based on the cell tower location.

System automatically switches the phone OFF based on the time you set when you are at predefined location (Say Home). When you are at home, say from 10:00 PM to morning 6:00 AM no one can call your mobile. But if you are not at home, then phone is ON even at night. This also saves your battery life and privacy too.

It is working on Hermes, and I have tested it on WM5 emulators. Will NOT work on WM2003.

Please check the link to the application under my signature.

Nice App! How about changing call forwarding (when busy, no answer, etc...) baased on location?

If the phone could forward all calls automatically, or forward when you press "hang up" based on location it would safe battery and reduce radiation using the phone.

Since the application do not keep polling for location, if it does not know the current location for some reason(reason = In the original post) then there might be problems such as wrongly 'forwarded' calls...

But its a great idea. I keep it in mind

But let me know if you are saying the samething too.

The settings won't be saved then. I tried to manually edit the cnf file with

time comes, nothing will happen.

I am on Schaps WM6 3.57a german and O2 Germany Provider.

What I was found out is, everytime I start the program it

randomly changes the location behind the dot.

Once it is xxxxx.8311 and the next time it is xxxxx.48311

May this be the culprit?

Any suggestions welcome bc I would really love this tool working :rolleyes:

If you don't mind can you send me your cnf file?

Since your Location keep fluctuating... May be its failing to ON/Off

So when you are at home (Sleep Location) and if you keep refreshing the location (Button Refresh Location) you are getting diffent values?

Let me know
