[PRJ][GSM] Fixing app to fit low DPi

I'm opening this thread for have a place where shareideas to fix our Samsung apps for fit low DPi (high Resolution).
First, i'm not a developer so we need to cooperate alltogheter for win
I have a SGT European GSM, i don't know if those mods can be applicable to any CDMA device.
I fixed 2 apps for now:
Dialer, inside Contact.apk, mostly fixed only the dialpad, still need to fix Incoming/Outcoming calls
Calculator, fixed 100%
I have used this 2 great app :
[DPI] Dialer, MusicPlayer, Calc, FM, Camera + GUIDE +utility(kinda)
Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)
Inside these threads you will find how to use them.
What i modded:
Contact.apk-----> res/layout/dialer_app.xml
Calculator.apk---> res/layout/main.xml
Install them via Adb or rootexplorer.
This thread is meant for development, for people that wanna help for that purpose, do not put your request or whatever here.

Hello,
Those .apk works for all gsm rom ?
Thanks for your work
P.S Sorry my bad english :-(

They come from Alterbridge (Overcome)rom but they are stock apps Galaxy Tab, if Boyppc use that stock apps then they are good for you.
Make a backup of your old apps before, just to be sure.

This works great running at 182. You should contact the overcome dev and see if he can include it in the next version. Thanks a lot!
I lied. Still looks bad when the phone is rining after placing a call in landscape mode.

I really dont mind it, you see the dialer like %3 of the overall time when using the tab

Just FYI, pixel density is not the same as dpi. A lower pixel density leads to an increase in dots per inch.

Sorry, I should've said "LCD Density". Decreasing that increases PPI and DPI - well, perceptually anyway, the LCD is still fixed at 1024x600. Given that the actual screen is 6.0" x 3.5" (7.0" diag) that means a native PPI/DPI of approx 170. I've no idea how LCD density relates to these values - can someone explain?
The wiki page nicely explains why I always feel like I can fit more "stuff" onto a Windows desktop than an OS X one though

I have looked into changing my tabs lcd and samaung says it will run best between
191 and 200. That we just need to find the best one for the tab. It is set at 240 stock. I have mine running at 195, and everything runs and shows up perfect. Looks like a new hd screen!

first of all.. thanks for the links.
i was trying to edit the email.apk to display properly in landscape mode but it is force closing whenever im switching to landscape mode. im trying to display the message list on left pane to adapt to extra height but it doesnot seem to work for some reason. the file i changed is.. Email.apk\res\layout-land\p1_message_list.xml
i think the line should read
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/msglist" android:background="#ffffffff" android:layout_width="258.0sp" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
but its not working or may be im doing it completely wrong. please help. i have so many other apps to fix too this is my first android hack.

get root tools in the market. you can change lcd, heap size, and several other mods.

Can you make the stock launcher fit on 200?? And stock music sucks on locked screen..

Does anyone know if there is a work around to make Skype work after changing the DPI to 182?

i dont see any issue with skype pn 182dpi. what is the issue?

Did anyone get the Camera.apk to work with low densities? I just switched to 172 and I'm loving it. Everything looks much better.. except the Camera da FCs on startup.

Im using my galaxy note 4 in 460dpi and grren dialer button stretches. Will this fix the problem? Also how can i install this xml file

What do YOU want in a ROM?

This community has already greatly contributed to Whitehawkx and I. In return we'd like to offer you the same.
We have LOTS of ideas for the ROM we are working on and are implementing all of them as time permits. In the 24-48 hours him and I have had this phone we've already made a huge amount of progress.
So, be realistic, be creative, and tell us what you'd like to see in a custom ROM.
Small preview of what's been accomplished so far (more under the hood ):

CM 7 and MIUI!!!!

Do some ics porting!

Notification menu like on WeaponG2X. That was one of my favorite implementation of that rom.
Hercules, Hercules!!

I do agree with the guys above me with having CM7 or MIUI, but I would also like the running apps carousel like the one from ics. I think that's what it's called. I have to double check on that. I know when you long press the home button, you get to see most recent apps, but I sure do like the look of the app carousel from ics. That'd be nice to have but I'm still looking forward to yours and WhiteHawkx's roms either way.

I guess I should have clarified. This will be based off Samsung software/firmware.
We won't be "porting" a ROM or working on CM7 for this phone. We will be extending the functionality/feature base of the Sammy ROM. It only makes sense to do it like this. You get the best combination of speed, stability, and features.

30% - Haven't looked into it, will try
Original SGS Sms - Should work now I think. Maybe we'll have that as an addon if everything works properly.
Gesture controls you can disable from Settings menu, no?
Swap support like RAM swap? Why? There a ridiculous amount of RAM on this phone.

After all the great experiences with your guys work on the Vibrant Im excited to see what you bring here.
I would like the see the usual stuff. Multiple lockscreens, improved battery life, smoothed out UI, NO BATTERY PERCENTAGE IN THE BATTERY please or at least an option to turn it off. Voodoo color( I know that isnt on your end but I still want it.) A theme engine like in cm7 would be cool to.

[Q] Plz help me to change low/dim backlight config, I have Backlight flickering issse

Hello,
I recently bought used in mint HTC Desire. It had already S-OFF'ed, Rooted, Recovery Installed (CWM) and Custom ROM flashed (MIUI).
After few days, I noticed the issue of screen backlight is flickering when I set manual brightness setting to low or dim. Mostly at night times. Though could be ROM issue but when I flashed different ROM, there issue persists.
Later of researching, found that this is known issue in mostly Desire Z. When I set above 31%, backlight won't flicker so it means the LCD tolerance of low voltage is not good.
Now I cannot send it back for warranty as its 2nd hand and I don't have bill. Of course, international purchase.
I use 3rd party app to set 31% whereas default low setting is 20%. I would like to modify the default low brightness setting to 31% so that I can use default brightness manual slider and won't be needing of 3rd party apps.
Can anybody please help me where I can find the setting file? Or atleast a app to modify it.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Bump...
Someone please help me.
I'm new to android and cannot figure out solely.

I'm using Runnymede AIO V5.0.2 Special Edition ROM. Please help me how to modify the lowest/least/dim backlight setting. I sure its not so hard but I really don't know where to edit.
Please help guys!!!
Thanks...

Sebastian today uploaded new mod for auto-brightness settings...haven't tested it very well yet, but give it a try. It's downloadable from addons (names include "autobrightness", don't forget to chose correct HBOOT).

Yeah noticed. I just downloaded and flashed v5.0.2 few hours before he released v5.0.3.
However, I don't think that will solve my LCD flickering issue because my LCD is faulty or doesn't work with low back light (tolerance), otherwise.
Backlight percent shouldn't go below 31% otherwise, my lcd starts to flicker. Default low setting is 20 I guess.
Thanks...

Thanks. I was doing that itself while you posted!
First time I used APKMultiTool to modify framework-res.apk and when I pushed to phone and reboot, it sucked at animation loop.
Had to reflash to get back to working device. Then I tried Apk Manager 4.9. Pushed the file and after reboot device is working fine.
But still same issue.
Things I have modified:
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesDown
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesUp
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues
Edited to 31 lowest in place of 30.
Edit: looks like thats different or otherwise related to auto brightness setting. Mine is with manual brightness setting. Anybody know where that will be?
Thanks...
Best Regards

did you wipe dalvik? I could be related to rc tweaks too as they have commands how to control those numbers... I don't that knowledge just learning that...

No, thats different. Its auto brightness settings. Do you see or used Default, Lower and Lowest option in rc tweaks? Yes those settings are found in framework-res.apk. Thats what I have edited but it will not change manual brightness setting bar (in quick settings).
I guess manual brightness setting should be in kernel.

Im using Lower option and Im happy with it... Lowest is too low for me... try pm Droidzone he made kernel for seb15...

Wish my device was also same but its LCD has low backlight tolerance issue. And the device is 2nd hand nor I have money to buy new lcd. Thats why I'm struggling to fix it myself.
Tried some 3rd party apps. Worked fine but they didn't suited well for daily usage.
Droidzone has disabled PM and seb15 has denied asking questions via PM. I tried to post the issue in his thread but no body responded.

[Q] CM10.1 RC5 Lock Screen bug

Okay I've searched the forum but couldn't find anything on this bug for my phone.
I've installed the new CM10.1 RC5 and it works fine until it happens that it turns off the screen like when you lock your phone but I can't get it to display anything again when I click on the "Red" phone button. I have tried restarting the phone but that didn't work, neither did it when I re-installed it. If anyone got a fix for it or just know how I can fix it myself then please help me.

Hi
I follow all instructions to install this rom, and i have same problem, but i'm on RC7.
I did format my system before install jb 4.2.2, then installed kernel lge-3.0.x-p350-17-04-2013_18-53, then reboot
I wait around 5 minutes, i used it after that. I set cpu to performance, Memory Management: zRAm: 26%, KSM: enable
Problems found on lock screen: too unresponsive and sometimes doesn't responde at all.
Physical and touch buttons are also unresponsive most of the time, screen keyboard is ok.
Didn't have my language so i install morelocale 2 witch doesn't translate everything.
Any suggestions? Should i go back to cm 7.2? I try to change because of the battery, it was draining to fast!?
Thank's for your attention.
Regards
