It just makes the screen look bigger than it already is by reducing the sizes of system fonts, icons, system layouts, etc. It also causes issues with Samsung apps since they are designed to work with 320dpi so they look cropped out or oversized.however, as a solution I use exposed installer and xposed app settings app to individually change the dpi of each and every app of my preference.

You must be running a didn't launder? Well i tried to change the 320 to 240 it was in 2 places so I changed both but
1 the keyboard kept coming up saying it was closing
2 the stupid dots that show what home screen you are on was way up in the middle of the screen. .
Ok so I changed it to 280 and the keyboard works albeit small. . But the amount of screen for home screen is the same cause those dumb dots are still in the same spot. ..Any way to change roar or get rid of them ?
Any thoughts

[REQ] MB4 Mods - Transparent Widgets - Ink - Themes

I just flashed MB4 and it seems my transparent Music Player zip, I was using on earlier ROMs doesn't work anymore. Also I wondering; has anybody has taken a crack at Google Keep's widget yet? And last but not least, I use Precious Metals Price Widget and was hoping somebody could tell me (or do it for me. please!) how to get full transparency for it's background. Thanks in advance, any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Any other MB4 related mods are welcome too, like pen-free ink on lock screen, compatible themes etc.
1. The transparent Music Widget from the Alexander Theme thread works!
2. I found a transparent Google Keep in a thread in the S3 forums. The widget is transparent but the actual notes still use the built in colors.

Since its a new base I believe all the mods will need to be redone to work on the mb4 base. I'm pretty sure though that all of the mods and themes will be updated in a lil time.

Yes, I am sure they will be. In the meantime I would like to find ones which are already compatible. Surely lots of people are trying various mods and it would be pretty convenient if they could share their results in one place.

Nope, flashed the transparent zip, added the widget and it works fine. Maybe try clearing the app data or caches. You can also make sure the file permissions are correct, or just fix permissions from recovery.

{SOLVED} Auto rotation delayed..

My auto rotation is delayed.. When I change orientation, blue icon appear and then rotate but it take about 4 sec!! here is my screen shot..
By the way, I had searched my problem and it say it's due to smart rotation, but I have disabled that and still lagging with auto rotation.
My device info :
Crash rom latest version ( touchwiZ based rom)
Perseus kernel ( Overclock at 1.8 GHz)
Xposed and simplistic framework installed
System theme : universal cobalt theme
System animation : use framework tool
Can anyone please tell me why? Thanks in advance..

Both CM and paranoid don't give me blue icon.. I didn't switch on and off smart rotation often but just start to notice the delay these day.. If it's gone, I'll unroot my phone and send to service center.. But still now, it's functioning.. Just delay.. It's like something got stuck before rotation is trigger.. Whatever, Thanks..
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using xda app-developers app
SOLVED!! Due to Control center( ios 7 control center for android) .. I uninstalled it as I doubt.. Now it's OK with my rotation .. Control center often show me error, it's a cool app but just starting beta, so I'll reinstall back after 2 months later with several updates .. Now I'm using "quicker free".. same functionality as control center

Will this only work with stick kot49h or is it enough that it's based on kot49h? Like purity or rastakat? And u think if it doesn't work on something like that it might work on a stock ROM with couple added features or speed tweaks or something? Tried on cataclysm and no luck

If you flash new update of course theres new systemui mod apllies and overrides this..If you want exact same colour maybe it can last as I can make the flashable zip for that..But if you want this colourful one, there's need some modification in xml lines differ from the same colour..

I'm sorry to be annoying but forget that, gnome closed that ROM. I'm just looking for a ROM that is close enough to stock to use this mod and the holo light mod for stock so I can just customize through xposed gravity box module. I really just care about android looking more appealing and how I think KitKat should have looked
