Right I'm trying to change my DPI density on my gnexs, I'm running Paranoidandroid 1.9.1 with FuguMod kernel, and EVERYTIME I try to change the density I reboot it and I just have a blank screen,
I've tried DPI 300
DPI 290
DPI 280
DPI 240
And I just keep getting a blank screen with everyone

How are you trying to change it? Via an app or a manual build.prop edit?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
App, but tried build prop and it just gave me an error saying that it won't save

you need to use a root file explorer, and give it permission.

When you are on /system partition, click mount r/w then make changes, save and exit then reboot.

You do know that ParanoidAndroid rom has special DPI controls built in for per app settings etc?
Settings >> Paranoid Settings
Here you can set specific DPI/UI modes for each individual APP / System etc.
I think as these settings are driven from within the ROM the changes made by any other method will break the ROM.
Sorry i can't go into exact specifics i dont use the ROM anymore.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

never used sensored blizzard rom, but you can either use an app called lcd density for root or change the resolution in the build.prop with root explorer...
How do I do it within the ROM using root explorer

activate root explorer and mount system writeable
go to /system/ scroll to the bottom and choose the build.prop
search for a line which looks like this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 ...here you can change the dpi
(example: ro.sf.lcd_density=190) save and reboot = enjoy
Changing density will make some apps not work. I've changed mine through explorer.

yes and the market thinks you have a tab (compatibility issue)...
Rom toolbox allows you to change pixel density. It has almost all the 'root' tools I use these days.
I was wondering if it is possible to get the stock galaxy s3 keyboard on tasks aokp ROM ?

You can download the apk from the play store. If you wanted it native in the build just copy the apk to your system/app folders and set the permissions. Its either rw rw r or rw r r.

Just curious, what app in the play store are you referring to? I'm looking for the same thing, but I haven't been able to find it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you looking for the stock touchwiz keyboard? If so you would have to pull the apk file from that build and I stall it manually with a root explorer. Not to sure if that will work but anyway I just searched for jellybean keyboard.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
I'm fairly certain the stock Samsung keyboard relies on the touchwiz framework and wouldn't work on aokp.
Could be wrong tho.

I have tried several apps to change the screen Dpi but none stick or auto reboot to stock Dpi. Are there any tips that one can offer to change to Dpi of say 240 and have it stick? Even just some tips to change it and stick would be great. Thanks to all in advance.

I just use root explorer to locate build.prop and then open it using the default text editor and look for "320" and then change that to whatever you want. I use 200

Don't know if you're using gmail or just email but this link shows how to change email to black
If Gmail, there are some nice Inverted 4.2.1 gmail apks out there... I've used Rujelus22 and DarkHorse Inverted gapps and themed apps... work perfect on Note2. Google search "Rujelus22 inverted gmail" or DarkHorse gmail 4.2.1.... then extract the gmail.apk, fix permissions, push to /system/app folder. Be sure to rename old apks in /data/app and or in /system/app folders prior to push (so you can revert bsck if you want to)

Using Root Explorer or something simlar navigate to:
System/Csc/features.xml
Open the file to edit. Scroll near the bottom to the EMAIL section and change the TRUE to FALSE
That should give you the overview. Backup the features xml to be safe.

Greetings xda,
Lovin the alliance rom im running, but I want to try the tablet ui. I installed xposed framework but cant seem to find a module that works. I can only get a tablet ui zip which cant install as a apk. Flashing it dousnt work either. Any suggestions?
I really like alliance and I dont want to lose all the sammy features, pa is no option for me.
Thanks in advance!

Yea been there and also couldn't find one either. It seems the mods currently available are meant for the 4.1.1. If you really want the exact same experience as the Note 10.1 then you should try Mini Tab Rom.
Also, this might sound dumb, but try changing the extension of the zip file from .zip to .apk and then try installing.

That only changes it to phablet mode but not tablet ui. A tablet mode would mean the status bar would be on the bottom.

In "xposed app settings" (a module you have to install for the "xposed installer".
There you can set app specific settings like resolution.
