Sometimes you just don't like the size of the items on your screen. If you're lucky, your phone's software has its own DPI changer of sorts, where you can choose among a few different presets, but what if you want more options, or you aren't one of the lucky few with that feature?

Well, this app aims to fix that problem on any Android device running 4.1 or later. There are quite a few apps out there that change your DPI, but this one doesn't actually require root, even if you aren't running Nougat. You will have to reboot if you aren't rooted, but hey, that's better than being around a computer all the time to use ADB, right?

There are instructions in the app for the setup and usage.

IMPORTANT:

- I don't know if this will work on every device running Android 4.1+. I was able to test it on an emulator running 4.1, along with various LG and Samsung devices on Marshmallow and Nougat, but that obviously doesn't include everything. Send some feedback if it isn't working for you, and include your device + Android version.

- Non-root mode requires you to execute a one-time ADB command (unless you uninstall and reinstall the app). From then on, all you'll need is a reboot.

- Avoid setting the DPI below 72. I don't specifically know what happens, but I know Android tools prevent this from happening by default. I will build the limit into this app in a future update.

[MENTION=8256937]ProGuy1[/MENTION] if you can use ADB to change your DPI, that's great! But some people don't know how or don't have constant access to a computer. I figured rebooting would be more convenient than finding a computer with ADB.

Also, devices on 4.3 and above no longer need to reboot, whether rooted or not.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TurboSloth:
Hi folks, I browsed this forum a few times and finally decided to make an account after all the wonderful information I've read here.

I realize there's probably no simple way to answer this question. But I'd like to buy the "best of the best" S8 I possibly can. I'm interested in the S8 specifically and not the S8 Plus. It's a phone I intend on keeping for a while, so long as nothing catastrophic happens. As such, I'm open to all possibilities.

I'm based in the USA but I would like to have the one with the most available bands to get the maximum availability on networks while traveling. I read on another thread that so far there are ways to unlock the bands in the firmware after flashing the Canadian firmware to the device. (I think this was referring to the Snapdragon North American version). But features such as Wifi Calling on T-Mobile won't work after that.

Because of carrier locks, it appears that certain models of phones only have certain bands enabled depending on which provider they were released for (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc). This is a bit of a problem, if for example, I wanted to use an AT&T phone on T-Mobile, or wanted to pop in a local SIM while traveling.

I'm presently on Verizon, but I'm not under contract and so I'm willing to switch to perhaps T-Mobile, AT&T, or whatever other GSM carriers are available. As such, CDMA capabilities aren't really a major issue for me. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I also get conflicting info where some sellers say their unlocked phones won't work for CDMA carriers; while others claim that the unlocked phones have all the CDMA capabilities unlocked as well.

I'm wondering also, if the Snapdragon or Exynos is preferable? The general consensus among developers seems to be that Exynos is preferable to Snapdragon when it comes to future mods, rootability, etc. What is the downside to Exynos?

Lastly, what do you think of the DUAL SIM version? My main reason for holding off on my purchase is debating whether I should get the dual SIM version or not. It would be a nice feature to have, for a phone I intended on setting up and keeping for a while. The only hesitation as far as this goes, is warranty coverage issues.

Would the international version have all the bands enabled? I've also read the Chinese and South Korean versions have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is pretty sweet.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Belotto:
Did you get your answers? I have same don't like doubts, specially related to processor and dual chip tech.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Goronok:
The only "downside" to the exynos version is the lack of CDMA support. It is superior in pretty much every other regard.

If you're considering a G950U.. I believe the AT&T model covers the most LTE bands. The Verizon version lists TDD LTE bands if those are useful to you. (But lacks other important bands)

To your question, the G950F/FD is likely your best bet. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Belotto:
Where do I found a list of models? I saw that in Brazil we have SM-G950, but what I see is here is only SM-G950F
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] andresg97:
I guess if you go with the exynos variant you will miss near fully playable gamecube/wii emulation. The exynos does other stuff better tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] meowone:
For the dual SIM variant, they have also just released a 6gb/128gb version, model number is SM-G9550. That's the best one you can get for the dual SIM variant: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/business/business-products/mobile-device/smartphones/SM-G9550ZKGTGY.

Only downside is no Band 66 support though if you are planning to be on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Zeitgeist4:
Hi, where can i buy the S8 Plus SM-G9550 (128GB, Snapdragon, 6GB Ram)?

thx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Codex1998:
Hi mate iv always preferred going for a G9xxF/FD version since They are Exynos in-case of Root or mods Exynos gets them first and if u get a FD added advantage of the dual sim. Good Luck
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Zeitgeist4:
Hi codex1998, i don't need root and mods. My opinion is that the SM-G9550 is the better and most powerful phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Kaspian:
Hi everyone, how about official firmware updates for different models ?

Is there any difference which models receives updates, which not ?

Some of my friends use different models and here is my statistic based on their phones:

s7 edge FD (dual sim): Android 7.0, last update August 2017,

note 8 (I believe its F model): 7.1 - August 2017,

s8 FD (dual sim) - 7.0 - Oct 2017,

2x s8+ FD (dual sim) - 7.0 Oct 2017.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.

On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bla1413241:
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.

I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program. Except​ when I tried to do so, I got the error "UEGetPhoneInfoFailure" when I had to hold volume down and plug it I to the PC. I got the phone from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/142324022634
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bla1413241:
Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistr91:
yo guys if you want to update software, you need give a try for XperiaFirm which can be found in flashtool by androxyde its program for flashing sony firmware, in xperia firm you can download latest software for any xperia device and by the help of flashtool u can flash it to the device :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
Thank for the tip! I got the software and all, now I'm just wondering about which firmware to download. my CDA is showing to be 1298-5153 and i only found it under E5803 showing as customized Saudi Arabia , but my phone is E5823. Do i have to download the same CDA or can i just download 1298-7260 (customized Australia)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
Disregard the last message, i looked around some more and finally found my answer. Thank you so much for the help much!! I am now running the Australian 32.3.A.2.33
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bla1413241:
Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flizer:
You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.

Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.

As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message :)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cllark1:
I recently changes the battery on my Droid Turbo . I am running Crdroid 14 V3 . After changing the battery it shows turbo charger connected and also responds to Qi charger . The lighting bolt shows up in the battery icon. Even with all indications it is charging , when clicking on the battery icon and settings it shows not charging. The only way it charges is to boot into recovery where it will charge as if in turbo charging mode . I also have strange readings for battery temp (-22F ) and CPU (4294903709) . Everything else seems to be functioning correctly . The battery condition shows cold . Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cllark1:
I have two Droid Turbos this one is unlocked. The battery is new not used . I have the percentage beside the battery icon .When plugged in it maintains the current percentage but does not increase . If I click the battery icon and go into more setting's it shows not charging .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Then try deleting the file I told you about. Or try flashing back to stock to see if that works.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cllark1:
Flashed back to stock . It made no difference . I also deleted the battery file per previous suggestion. I must have damaged the motherboard when replacing the battery. I had changed the battery in my other turbo without any difficulties . This one was more difficult the top left screw would not come out . The nut was turning in the plastic case ,and the battery was glued down much firmer than my other droid. Everything seems to be working I guess I will charge in twrp at night. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I'm sorry this is happening, but the situation is strange. Here's why...

The new battery DOES charge when in TWRP. So, I don't see how the motherboard is damaged? Otherwise it wouldn't charge at all.

TWRP is just another, separate operating system your phone runs, when you boot into TWRP. IF the battery charges under any conditions, the motherboard has to be working.

So, that's why it seems like it's some kind of software problem in your "regular" OS -- that the crDroid OS was hanging onto the "old" battery profile/stats whatever and wasn't recognizing the new battery. That was why I suggested deleting that battery stats file so it would be recreated upon reboot, or even re-flashing stock firmware to "restore" whatever was messed up. I'm sorry that didn't work, but the motherboard or battery is just hardware -- it can't decide to charge under some circumstances (TWRP) and not another (custom ROM). So, the difference is software, somewhere.

At least that's how my trouble shooting logic leads me. If anyone else has any additional ideas/experience, please share!

Again, sorry you are having this problem.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cllark1:
The reason I think I damaged something are the strange readings for battery and CPU temperature . Battery -22 F and CPU temp at top of Twrp screenshot. I think maybe it has a protection built in to avoid damage at those temperatures .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You are correct that there's thermal thresholds to stop it from overheating while charging. When I'm driving and Waze app heats up my phone (plus the hot sun coming through the windshield), my phone will stop charging.

But on your phone, then in TWRP it's ignoring the crazy temperature and still charging?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] cllark1:
That is my best guess. If I ever figure it out I will be sure to post the solution . I really appreciate the time you have spent trying to help me out.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galarond:
Hi i bought a G955F from Peru (PET) and the last firmware for that CSC is G955FXXU1AQDD and i want to try the latest G955FXXU1AQDG (PHN) but if i have to take it back to repair i would be able to flash back G955FXXU1AQDD been that firmware a downgrade over the G955FXXU1AQDG?

I dont know if ill not be able for some kind of odin issue or if i can brick the device cause i had those issues with my note 5 that wasnt able to get any version but the latest via odin.

Sorry for the bad english.

Tnx

edit: also if my G955F have PET CSC and i flash (PHN), that i think comes with multiple CSC but PET is not included, wich CSC is going to be my new one?.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
As far as I know you can't downgrade, but I'm not entirely sure.

Just stay on AQDG, as long as KNOX isn't void, the service center people really shouldn't have an issue with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galarond:
Tnx for ur answer, the problem is that my s8 plus have a carrier specifix splash screen and if i ever go to repair they inmediatly will notice a samsung splash screen instead.

I guess ill have to wait for the DG version released from my carrier to avoid been stuck with the phone if i have some kind of problem.

SOLVED: as nobody tried i did and u can downgrade without issues, yay for me.

Flyme OS is a Chinese rom for the Chinese Company meizu devices and it has been ported to core prime SM-G360H

​

/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

First time installing flyme os to your Galaxy Core Prime (SM-G360H), or coming from another ROM:

-Install ClockworkMod Recovery (OR TWRP)

-Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Vol-up+Home+Power)

-Do a Nandroid backup! (Optional and only if you weren't running TouchWiz before)

-WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system partition)*

-Install the ROM from sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery (OR TWRP)

NOTE: If you're running TWRP recovery, go to Settings >> "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" before wiping anything,

else you have to wait 20 mins due to some weird bugs of our eMMC (maybe).

First boot might take long time, 7-10 MIN!!

NOTE: If you're about going to install GAPPS with ROM,

install it right after you've installed the ROM, else you have to do a factory reset if you've booted the ROM first

What's working:

Everything except in BUGS/Not working list

BUGS/Not working :

Same as cm12.1 Laggy recorded videos. In this case, use MX Player,

choose SW codecs when you play these videos, they will become normal.

offline charging icon but phone still charging.

headphone, but still you can use it with sound about app.. its Include with ROM.

you tell me
