Do you change your homescreen setup regularly?

I've had the same home screen setup for about two year. The only thing that ever changes are the games on a certain page. I've been getting the urge for a make over but I find myself setting everything up nearly the same as the old one. I see a lot of minimalistic setup that look nice but they're not very practical. At least not for my needs. Thoughts?....

Same set-up for ~2 years as well.
Well...Now that there aren't Launcher Pro widgets (not on an ICS launcher, I mean...yes, I know I could use LP if I chose to.) I use Android Pro Widgets.
But other than that...same.

I'm with you. Seriously, I spend so little time looking at my home screen that I don't see the point of losing functionality to make it look better. Once something works, it's done - I don't change it unless I find a new widget or something.

After my initial setting up and getting used to using more folders in ICS, I haven't tweaked much. I've tried switching around a little bit and changing the contents of a few folders, but everything is pretty much in the same place as it was a few months ago when I bought the device. I try to run a pretty tight ship and don't go too overboard. I only use 3 homescreens anyway, so there's not a lot of room to customize.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it I think. I like a change here and there, but I don't go seeking changes just for the sake of doing it.

Thanks for the replies. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the same setup for a long time.

I don't change my launcher but I'm constantly (almost every day) changing the background image and the style of beautiful weather widget.

[Q] Hi-resolution on Note2

Hello and sorry for maybe asking again the following question:
- If I want a higher resolution on my Note2... what should I do? Is it simple and safe? (this is the only thing I am really missing of my old Note)
- At which dpi should I stay in order not to corrupt built-in features?
In a few words... is it still an advisable operation, as it was for the old model?
Thank you for any hint!

You cant just increase the screen resolution... its a hardware not software thing.

I know, but previously I used the LCD Resolution app to just change the display resolution (or dimensions of characters) from 320 to 240... and everything looked wonderful, with much more space to be used on the screen.

If it is just the big Icons you don't like, just install an other Launcher. I use NovaLauncher Prime. 6x6 Icon-Matrix. Alot of space
and still good readability. Dont know why Samsung is using that ****ed up 4 Column Layout. Lot's of wasted space from my point
of view.
They show 5 Columns in the AppDrawer thou.
By the way changing the dpi-value always drains the image-quality i think.
As well some dpi-tweaks lead to not working Apps on other devices i had, such as the HP Touchpad

Thank you, I already have Nova and changed the matrix... but what I do not like is the dimensions of characters: at 240dpi I can read extended internet pages, have more sms or the entire email on the screen with reduced need of scrolling... the device looks "more professional" and useful!

Hm okay, i agree on that. But i don't currently know about an dpi-changer for our GN2. I'll follow this thread and see how this evolves.

oh boy was it that hard to understand the op podface? -.-
anyway as for what you want:
there is a rom with touchwiz modified to 240dpi or you can either use of the paranoid roms which are highly customizable on that aspect or just use plain cm10 and there you also can use the lcd density mod app.

that means... I have to root, change the ROM, lose automatic official updates... and above all re-enter in the tremendous slavery of changing ROM every day, testing, trying all the ROMs expecting miracles... this is what really scares me! (but I enjoyed that so much on my Note some months ago!)

yup there is no way as far as i know, to change the density without root

HOW TO: Increase Effective Resolution/Adjust PPI of your Note 2

Hey everybody
One of the most useful mods I have performed on my Note 2 is a PPI adjustment, which effectively increases the resolution of the screen. I'm not sure why this isn't more commonly discussed, because I think it really takes advantage of the phone's size and tablet-like qualities (especially with the new MultiView update, if that appeals to you). I know many users of the original Note did this mod, which is how I found out about it. I suspect that many other Note 2 users may not be aware of this trick...
WHAT IT DOES
It has the same effect as increasing one's monitor resolution - more content is able to be displayed on screen. If all the icons, text, menus, etc on your Note 2 just seem really BIG to you, this is the antidote.
Look at the two before and after screenshots attached. I would have posted them in line, but as a new user I am prohibited from doing so.
REQUIREMENTS
ROOTED Note 2 - there are other Howto's on XDA that cover this
ROM Toolbox Pro (other apps may work too, possibly including the free version of ROM Toolbox, but this is what I used)
HOW TO DO IT
Root your phone and install ROM Toolbox Pro. Go to the performance tab, and click "build.prop" editor. There will be two entries called "ro.sf.lcd_density"
Within each one, change the property value and the default value to 240. That's four numbers you're replacing. On the last change, go ahead and reboot. Done!
OTHER NOTES
With the original Note, it was common for this mod to break the Market. This is no longer the case. But, there are a few things that break to varying degrees. They're easy to fix though...
TouchWiz: The default launcher will not adapt to the new settings, and you will have a lot of blank space. Fix by installing another launcher. I use Nova.
The Clock app breaks completely. I replaced with Alarm Clock Plus.
The dialer, like TouchWiz, will remain small. You could replace with a custom dialer, but I actually left it as-is because a side effect is that it's really easy to use with one hand.
The Camera app has the same problem. Camera Zoom FX makes a good replacement.
the Samsung keyboard breaks, thus taking down handwriting input with it. Swype works fine, as does s-note.
Aside from those minor issues, everything has worked fine, including all the 3rd party apps I have.
Hope this is helpful to some of you guys.

Seriously, this phone is amazing at 240

This is great. One other app is the email app only takes half the screen on portrait. Really need to figure out how to install the AOSP JB Email app on here....

Another benefit is Swiftkey Tablet keyboard now does the split keyboard on landscape which is easier to type on.

The only problem is that you can't use the handwriting mode with the stylus with the ppi set to 240 because the Samsung keyboard keeps fc'ing. That's my only complaint so far with this phone is that the handwriting mode is tied to the Samsung keyboard.

The market is probably filtering since at this resolution it is probably now considered an x-large device.
Really like this resolution, will need to use for a while to see which apps decide to crap out.

you can also edit the build.prop with root explorer. If you edit the it to be =160 it switched to tablet mode, but crashes a lot
=170 i think its still tablet and doesn't crash

To be honest, with jelly bean letting us choose "tiny" text now and the screen size being so big, I'm not as inclined to change the Res on this thing anymore... in the past with my S2 that was the first thing i would do whenever I flashed a new rom.

Technically the Galaxy Note II does have a higher screen res than the Galaxy S III since the Note 2 does not have a pentile display. Paranoid Android in the future will also let you completely customize the size of everything on your phone without messing up the market due to DPI issues.

anyone with issues sending MMS? I had taken a pic and tried to send MMS but got a unsupported file type or something like that and wont attach the picture. reverting back to 320dpi works.
hopefully the samsung keyboard will work with this in the future, it looks sooo much better with the dpi change .. specially with multi-view (although the menu and border of it doesnt stretch all the way across the screen).

bala gamer is hopefully going to take a shot at FIXING the bits that don't work right at 240dpi !! I especially hope he can fix the keyboard as I LOVE the keyboard.
for the multi window just drag the menu to the TOP OR BOTTOM edge and it displays correctly at 240dpi (the separator is not wide enough but thats not an issue)
Zoom FX is no good since it uses "smaller" images (really small) in burst mode NOT 8mp. I found that out the hard way after I shot some really nice shots and later discovered the res was so small it was useless to me

Best DPI?

I discovered today that the note 2's dpi is set to 320, this is shocking given how big the screen is.
This dpi is similar to phones like the galaxy nexus, galaxy s3 and one x, so technically we are getting as much usability as phones with screens smaller then .7inch smaller then owers.
I changed the DPI to 240 and I instantly found a huge difference, no loss in overall sharpness, more icons fit in the screen, apps showed more detail, and the phone felt like a phablet rather then a phone for the first time.
Anyways for now I'm using nova launcher(for a costimizable homescreen/drawer) and alternates to all the samsung apps because they are not compatible with a lower DPI. Has anyone played around with their DPI? which DPI was the best for the phone?
For those who didn't try it yet, I highly recommend you to try it out if you know what you're doing.

240 is too small in my opinion. Most of the apps work without any problem on 280, and for me it's the highest visible density for me. Btw on 240 there problems with fluency.

I cleared the play store's data a cache, it turned into tablet mode which was pretty sweet. I could've kept it as is from stock dpi and I would've been able to get the normal phone mode apps.

Samsung apps seem a bit laggy at 240 dpi, but I solved that by using alternatives to most of them, nova launcher looked pretty sweet. And as for the visibility, the screen is HUGE, like even at that tiny dpi icons are as big as they are on an S3 which is at 320 dpi, I'm gonna try 280 seems like a better choice for frequent usage.
I find it kind of stupid that they kept the dpi at 320, a lot of wasted screen space

Shame S Note crashes even at 280 dpi... especially as there is not an alternative that links in so well with the S Pen with pop up windows.
edit: Unbelievable, I set it back to 320 dpi, S Note is still crashing. Even after I wiped it's data.
edit 2: Wow, re flashed my ROM, even did the wipe option, S Note STILL crashes.

[Q] Disappointment w/GPE. Tips/pointers?

Received the GPE yesterday. Also have the Nexus 7.2, I can return either tablet.
The screen size of the GPE is an immense upgrade. My old eyes or whatever, but if a web page or magazine doesn't allow zoom I have to work to read on the 7. Nowhere near an issue on the GPE.
Everything else, though, is a definite downgrade.
Before I decide which tab to keep, are there are apps/tweaks for the GPE that might improve a couple of things:
display: Whites are "dingy" with a yellowish cast. I have screen adjuster installed. Adding blue helps. But it only allows for adding color. Is there an app that has the color slide set in the middle as opposed to at the zero point so I can subtract as well as intensify one of the colors??
Also, it's pretty dim. Is there a way change the sensitivity of the auto brightness, ie so that at a given ambient light it sets the screen brighter than stock?
scrolling: It is a little more "ratchety". Odd, since it's the 600 v 400 processor in the 7. I have 4.4.2 installed. Would rooting help even if I don't use a custom ROM (the 7 is rooted but running stock)?

1. The display is what it is. I have been waiting for a higher resolution 8 inch tablet for over two years. This is the first and probably will be by itsself for a long time, others would have been released by now for the holiday season. This is not to excuse LG for skimping out on the display, they make the retina displays for MacBook Pros and iPads for goodness sake. However, I am going to keep it over my Nexus 7 2013 because the size of the display is worth the drawbacks for me.
2. I assume you mean scrolling in Chrome. Beats me why it is always jerky, has been for years. Good news is that the AOSP browser is now in Google Play without needing root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
Install it and you will have a much smoother experience.

You can try Lux Auto Brightness or a similar app.
The auto-brightness on LG devices seems to work differently than on other Android devices. The brightness slider still has an effect when auto-brightness is checked. I don't know whether the value chosen with the slide acts a a max level or if it provides some kind of "base" for the auto-brightness algorithm to work from. But if the slider level is set low turning on auto-brightness won't make the screen as bright as it will be with the slider at a higher value and auto-brightness on.

Trickster is great if you have root

You could level the playing field with regards to the 8.3 's performance and put kit kat on it too.
There are some kinks that need ironing out but it's plenty stable to be used as my daily.
As to the colours. I haven't been affected on my tablet. I guess having only a 2012 N7 as a comparison is much more forgiving than against the 2013 N7

My display is pretty good. the auto-brightness is too dark but it is on every device I've ever used, so that's not really an issue for me.
Scrolling is as good or better than any Nexus 7 2013 model I've seen. I think the Ars and Verge reviews said basically the same thing. Also, the Nexus 7 is not a snapdragon 400. It's an S4 Pro. The specific S4 Pro in the Nexus 7 is a 1.5 ghz quad core krait 300 with a ddr3 memory controller instead of being a 1.7 ghz quad core krait 300 with a dual channel ddr2 memory controller in the Snapdragon 600 in the G pad. The difference is completely negligible.

This is not a useless iOS device, you can zoom any site you want, in Chrome and in the G Pad's stock browser: Settings-->Accessibility-->Enable force zoom on any site (more or less, translating from the Italian).
Most other browsers have a similar setting.

Hey, I WAS an apple fanboy. Since 1994. Couildn't wait for the iphone to get to my city. Ran right over and "up"graded. Having worked with Android for a couple of years by then it was obvious in a day and a half how awful the interface was. My new droid was in hand immediately and I have recruited iOS'ers since. Do you know most are not aware of the "direct call" widget we have that they don't? That's just the most obvious and ridiculous demonstration of where iOS has gone with their Gates'ian control of their ecosystem.
That said, thanks for the pointer. My difficulty is with google Newsstand. The magazines I read don't allow zoom.
But the LG is on its way back. And I am very happy with my choice.....

I'll give it a try..... It may be the magazines themselves, because when I adjust the Newsstand font size nothing happens to them. There's also a general setting for font size. That didn't help either.

Screen dimness compared to the N7 is a complaint of mine as well. Wish it was brighter throughout the range.
Also rooting in and of itself will do nothing to affect device performance and speed, it simply opens the door to allow to do software mods in the future that may improve speed. 1

It's not very useful on the regular G Pad, because it only supports a very small number of devices. I don't think it works at all on the GPE version, so far. If the IR capability is your main reason for buying the G Pad, better get another tablet. Or else get a Harmony Remote.
