[Q] Viper x - some questions

Hi
I have installed viper x and now i have some questions:
1 I want to increase overall screen brightness. which of the sliders in the tweaks do i have to use?
2 i've set custom lockscreen apps for the sense lockscreen but they're not shown. Must the sense ui be installed to use this? I have an installation without sense ui.
3 i have selected the option "vibrate mode" for my horizontal quick settings but it is also not shown. Anyone who knows this problem?
4 can i set a volume key as trigger for the sense camera app?
Maybe some of you can help me. Thank you very much.

1) if you have set the screen brightness in settings to 100% then i don't think there is anything else you can do to make it brighter.
2) you need sense installed
3) open venom tweaks > status > Hide n Reorder
check that there is not a red X next to vibrate mode.
4) OneXed Camera Mod-V3.0

Thank you for your fast reply!
1) I don´t want to set a fix brightness, I thought I could make the auto-brightness a little bit higher by changing one or some values in the tweaks-screen i have attached as picture. Is that possible?
2) ok, can I add sense ui by installing the rom again without wiping the phone? Will I loose all my settings then?
3) there is no red x, I´ve already checked that. But something funny happened: I checked it again, marked it red, unmarked it, changed the order of the settings and now it is there. But now the Wifi-Hotspot-Setting is not shown (the last and 7th setting in my list). Maybe I can´t set more than 6 settings?
4)Thank you, I will try that one.
And one thing i have forgotten before:
5) Can I download new custom font packs anywhere? Or better, can I create own font packs from a TTF and how does it work?

1) venom tweaks > Misc > auto backlight brightness.
2) if you install without a full wipe it should all be saved.
3) icons are on a scroll, just swipe from right to left on the tweak icons.
4) welcome
5) you can from venom hub, i believe ADW icons are also compatible. i dont know about TTF, sure someone on here knows.

Android font types are Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono and Droid Serif
If u rename your TTF with these names it should work

I kept holding power an volume down all the time and didn´t release power when the screen was black.

1) Yes, there I found the screen I hab attached. But what now? Increase all the sliders a little bit?
2) That led into a bootloop again, don´t know why. But now I know how to handle that :laugh: . I will do a full re-install with sense ui next days.
3) Ok, i found it. Thanks for that
4) Works perfectly :good: !
5) There are only 10 fonts. I can´t find a possibility to download or add more. If there is none, I will use the app "font changer". That works, but some fonts aren´t changed then...

I have a new question about Viper X:
I always have Google Maps in my battery-statistics consuming a lot of power even if i didn´t use it. A friend told me that somtimes Maps makes trouble when it is installed as a system-app. So when I did the new installation of Viper X I didn´t install Maps as system. I loaded it from Play Store and switched Latitude off. But its still there.
Anyone who knows about it?

No Content Scaling in my Settings

Hi
I don't have this in my settings menu. See attached screenshot. Any idea?

I'm on at-t. I don't have that either. No idea why it was removed. Hopefully someone will come up with a way to add these menu features back in

I tried using the nova widget method but to no avail.

try using this app ?

I'm running the latest AT&T PH1 firmware and I have content scaling available. Make sure power saving mode is turned off, as the phone will scale to 1080p to save battery life and may not show the option while in power saving mode.

I see content scaling but not the ability to scale back to 1080. I don't have a screen resolution toggle.

Your edge screen option is also in a different position than on my device. Maybe an update is required to fix it? My always on display wasn't working properly either until I noticed there was an "update now" button buried in the settings menu.

Yep i think you are on an older firmware. Check for SW updates or flash the latest in Odin. My edge screen option is in a different place also.
Your content scaling option is named "screen resolution" which is basicallg the same exact thing

I'm on T-Mobile and couldn't find it in the settings either but here's how I got it. Open settings, in the top right you will see "search", click on that and type in "scaling", hit the search icon on the keyboard and content scaling will come up. Tap it and adjust the settings.

Screen resolution isn't the same as content scaling.

Pretty much gives it the same effect. Lower resolution = bigger icons and less screen real estate. Scaling to "large" does the same

You can change the resolution by going into power saving menu and create a custom one. Just de-select all of the throttling options and brightness options and only adjust the FHD option.

Yes, but is there any other way, maybe through tasker or a hidden menu option?
Doing it this way leaves the ugly powersaving icon on your notification bar full time.

Yeah, that's true. I couldn't figure out any other way on the Verizon model though. Maybe when the unlocked firmware rolls out we can add back some of the removed features.

Yeah, I really want to be able to do this in Tasker. Plus one of the others, where you can lock the highest brightness in auto settings.
I'd add it to my "night mode" script.
the icon is annoying. I'll live with it if I have to but I'd rather have the space for something more important.

I don't have it either, though in the initial setup the device actually did ask about content scaling. There was an option for either large or standard.

I rn remember setting it up the first time also. I think the my recent software update removed it

Yes me too facing this issue and also icon label just showing up ( not fully) just above the navigation bar when I turn on Navigation dock.

Easy fix to solve this issue;
Go to display settings
Click screen resolution
Click OFF smart resolution
In CUSTOM-change resolution to 2k (highest) and let it refresh (the key is to change the resolution to native state once)
The issue is fixed
You can go back to display settings and enable smart resolution without any issues

Dark theme assistant is here.

On October update, it's dark. Did not notice until nighttime so I don't know if it's tied to time. Can't find any settings for it.

Are you on beta? I don't see a dark theme and have the October update.

Not on any beta. Not even aware of a current beta.
Under settings, display, advanced I have dark theme selected. And I do have a solid black wallpaper.

I meant beta for Google app. Dark theme and black wallpaper still didn't do the trick.

Lol, as soon as I hit submit I realized that. Not on the app beta, but I do have a pretty new version from 9/27.

And correct me if I am wrong, but the layout looks new too. The topic of each card is centered now with the little stars. I remember it being part of the card and on the left.

Yeah does look like a new layout. I have the same version. Probably a server side update that got turned on for you.

There is a little slider on the right for more or less. Page two of assistant is all white.

I am happy to report it stays dark during the day.

I believe it was a google app update, not beta or anything like that.
Got it going as well.

It's part of the 9/27 update. It is then turned on server side. They do this somewhat often.

How to change your DPI settings to take advantage of the big screen

1. Settings.
2. System
3. About
4. Tap Build Number 10 times, until you are a developer.
5. System - Developer options
6. Drawing - Smallest Width #.
There are several guides on which DPI settings to use if you search, but I prefer around 600-640 to take advantage of the big screen. I hope this guide is helpful for some of you who weren't aware of this option. :highfive:

I set my on 485 dpi Honor Note 10 value. Yeah to bad that notification tray and toggles are still big and don't change. It also resets after reboot.

Doesn't this also mess up the app icons?

What DPI do you like? Lower?
I noticed today that I hadn't set the sizes in Display Settings first, to a smaller font, and then in developer options the DPI. The smaller font made a big difference, but is easy to overlook. I'm at 600 now, and everything works and looks fine. :cyclops:

It will reset every time you reboot the device. Also when you change the display settings it may revert back to normal.

This is where Huawei neuteres Android. Change the smallest width setting and it is reset every time you restart the phone. The Android System and some of the SystemUI elements don't even change when setting a higher number. Once you're rooted you're better off editing the build.prop in vendor and adding the qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx line in to get everything to change like it's supposed to. Be careful not to go too low on the density or else EMUI glitches out to the point where your lockscreen will no longer function. It's one of the things about EMUI that really irks me and instead of Huawei fixing the issue they just seem to ignore it. That and not being able to move the wifi and data icons to the right where they should be.

We need root soon. Changing the width in developers options messes with some apps. Also, the navigation bar at the bottom doesn't change which blocks the exit button in my trading app. Quite annoying.
