This may be a dumb question, but is there anyway to change the LCD Density of everything EXCEPT the Playstore in order to keep compatibility? I am aware that the Paranoid Android ROM is capable of this, but is it specific to that ROM or can you setup something similar in other ROMs by using build.prop or similar methods.
Thanks for the help.
i think if you edit the build.prop it will modify LCD density globally.
afaik only Paranoid or any other rom that is capable of the per-app thing is able to accomplish this.
is it specific to those roms? im not a dev so i dont really understand all the behind the scenes work they put in/things or the things they edit/mod.. so can't really say.

Hi Everyone,
I tried to find a lot on all sections and google for a good touchwiz Mod but to no avail. So i thought of asking u guys for some insight to Mod Touchwiz for our beloved Galaxy S.
So i extracted TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to a folder. Was checking the different resources and i came across \res\anim and i saw two files fade_in_fast.xml and fade_out_fast.xml. Now they are binary XML files. So the question is can we modify or delete some values and speed up touchwiz. I dont care about the fancy transition or effects. Just raw speed. Tried ADW and Launcher Pro but i personally didnt like it. Please forgive me if this is pretty simple. Here is the code for the files.
Guys we modify these values and recompile TouchWiz30Launcher with apk manager.
XML code for fade-in
<alpha fromAlpha="resource_id:0x0" duration="resource_id:0x10e0001" interpolator="resource_id:0x10a0005" toAlpha="resource_id:0x3f800000">
</alpha>
XML code for fadeout
<alpha fromAlpha="resource_id:0x3f800000" duration="resource_id:0x10e0001" interpolator="resource_id:0x10a0005" toAlpha="resource_id:0x0">
</alpha>
check attachment for the files.
Awaiting reply. Thanks in advance.
Come on guys. No one's intrested in tweaking touckwiz.

Attention whore?
I might be running Launcher Pro, but I support that you are doing this. Cheers!
Would be useful especially since i've seen Touchwiz drain less battery compared to other launchers. IMHO.

Thanks for your work, may i ask how to use your file? How could i combine it into the existing launcher application?
if it matters that much to you, try picking up how binary numbering works...
Anyways, if I were to try messing around with it - I'd change that last digit in the binary sequence from a 5 to a 3...
Firstly, it isn't binary, it is Hex.
I have not tested but I guess if you change the duration to a lower number, you may get lucky but I expect that these values actually point to another resource for the actual value.

Sorry, I'm not really a programmer...I just offered an idea because nobody else seemed to at the time.
Also, I thought Hex was 6-digit ranging from 0-F/digit? Or is that for colors only?
Hey guys i tried changing the values for the duration but when i over written the modded touchwiz apk to system/app folder i keep on getting Force Closes. Guess i should take a different route. Thanks for the tips guys.
Sorry guys i didnt meant to be rude or show any attitute in the above post. I respect all XDA members. I just hope my findings would be useful to someone who be looking just for it.
Not really sure what you're trying to do with this. Are you trying to remove the fade-in/fade-out animation when using the home screen? Why would you? It looks cool!
I'm interested in removing the animation as well. It looks nice indeed, but it doesn't works smooth on my ZTE Blade. It used to work without lags on my T-Mobile pulse...
After changing the values in the XML file, is it possible to reinstall the file with those changes ?
If so, I can give it a try as well...
So I was curious if the Gingerbread screen off animations could be ported to cm nightly 307 by editing some files in the ROM. If so could someone possibly work on this so it's possible?

very curious about this. have been searching for an answer all over the place. what do they ever look like?
Well the only one I know of looks like an old tv turning off which is really similar to the ones on idevices. Here's a link for those that don't know what it looks like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLuuqqT7m10
I know it may not seem like much but I think it's an interesting animation to have whenever you turn the screen off on your android device.
In other forums people have said it's not possible due to big differences in Gingerbread.. But if you get the source from any MDPI (like Hero) form of CM7 and then port related stuff to the animation from framework to 2.2.1 framework, maybe it could be achieved?
does anyone know if its possible to swap the location of the navigation buttons and the popup menu? Like making the navigation buttons on the right and the popup menu on the left? I dont see anything about this anywhere, but im curious if its possible.
Its in the Framework somewhere. Perhaps I might try to bug hashcode? lol
The navigation buttons aren't part of Trebuchet. Changing their configuration is most likely out of the scope of your abilities, unless you're good at coding.

Well its actually part of the framework. Theres not really "coding" to be done. It would be more of finding things and swapping their values more than likely. But yeah ive done a few things, Ive ported a sense rom to the Nexus s 4G and helped fix a few things in cm7 for the Epic 4G touch, so im not totally retarded i just wanted to ask and see if anyone had ventured into this yet.

Forgive my assumptions but your original thread title made it seem like a "dumbed down" answer was necessary.
You still have to have somewhat of an understanding of Java but if you are up to it so be it. There are a few Kindle Fire roms on github where you can get full uncompiled frameworks files for editing/research/whatever. Or if you want to go through the process of decompiling/editing/recompiling, you could do that as well. But I'm sure you know that already.
[Edit:] As for an answer to your question, I haven't seen anyone here messing with the placement of the status/nav bar items, only editing the graphics.
SORRY TITILE SHOULD BE: [Q] [REQ] Method of UNIVERSAL Tablet UI Mod for ICS/JB, the forum won't let me mod that...
I don't really want to ask similar questions again... I've been looking SOOOOO hard on the internet for this, but all I got are all kinds of ParanoidAndroid ports for other devices, device- and ROM-specific mods not universally applicable and (finally) this thread Link showing a likely but very vaguely descripted method to enable tablet UI for ICS.
I know E4G has already got satisfactory ROMs for this purpose, but I have an HTC Incredible S (no separate Q&A forum for it), which hasn't got AOKP-JB (it has tablet UI included in settings) yet. It's now on CM10.
So I'm asking: how to enable tablet ui for any ICS/JB ROM? (It's OK even if it requires modding framework/services.jar/etc.)
Hope mates here can help for a bit. Thanks

Lower the DPI in the build.prop.
ro.lcd_density=XXX or something like that.

That's what I mostly saw in Google which simply doesn't work no matter how low I've changed that. Neither will other build.prop hacks work

Hrmm....check around in the /data folder to see if there is a local.prop. That would be the only thing i could think of that would override the build.prop, but usually that has to be manually created anyways. What is the default density of CM set to on the Inc S?

1. build.prop density changes work but DOES NOT bring device into tablet, only shrinks display...
2. IncS has a default density of 240 as most WVGA phones.
3. /data/local.prop not found.
Thank you sir for replying and giving possible solutions But does the answer really goes in .prop files? I mean, in the ParanoidAndroid thread link I provided, 2nd post says for ICS some changes can be done to some .jar framework to lock the preference, but the guide doesn't tell which and exactly how... Could anyone shed light on that?

How low have you tried setting it? Eventually, it will enter tablet mode. Try intervals of 20(make a nandroid before hand just in case) I can't remember if WVGA screens need 120, 160, or 180.. one of those should do it though. Tell ya what, I'll try on my Epic which is on CM 10.1.
At 240 is normal
At 180 its almost got a GS3 feel to it. Very spacious.
I skipped 160 and 140.
At 120 it has entered Hybrid UI.
Everything below that point( down to at least 20, which isn't usable lol) is still the Hybrid UI.
I guess that's why on JB, you have to mod the framework. Google is moving away from the traditional tablet ui.
On ICS though, the DPI change will work. I know that for sure. Lol

Is that so? Once on my Epic at CM9 I tried a dpi as low as 120 and the SystemUI just FCs again and again. This time on IncS I had the density also changed to 120 but it enters a Nexus-7-ish phablet mode, and things have become way too small to operate on.
And BTW, the calculated tablet threshold DPI for WVGA is 128.
Damn that Google, I don't so care about Nexus 7 using the phablet UI (it should, really) but why the hell is Nexus 10 doing the same, you wanna make it a giant phone?! AND you removed tablet mode support just because of this?! How utterly childish

Here is how I did it on Ainol Tablets. Smali code editing in android.policy.jar and services.jar.
I have no idea though if it is "universal" or not but it worked on multiple tablets.

Thank you for finally supplying a legit-looking tutorial. Now, however, I'm concerned with the problem of how to transform a tablet with tablet UI to the Nexus-7-ish phablet UI. Now via build.prop hacks I'm only able to achieve phone UI and I want to know if the same method works and what modification in the parameters this needs to be altered... Thank you all again

The reverse method should work. Just look for the PhabletUI code and make sure that the relevant sections in the guide I linked to in my thread point the device towards PhabletUI instead. You could also do the same for PhoneUI if you wanted.
If at any point you want to convert the new JB 4.2 UI back to Tablet UI, I used the Tabletizer Alpha app here. When it was done, I did have to move the update.zip to my computer and repackage/resign it for my tablet as well as edit the update-script but the jar files worked.

How to extract settings from other roms
Im just wondering is this possible. I run a custom rootbox rom. I just want to know can you "if you could"
Take Paranoid Android, or Pacmon or Paranoidkong or something pull out the settings for DPI and Color changing and add it to rootbox. Not for anyone else just for me. I don't want to run there rom I like rootbox..
What im really getting at is I want a custom rom for just my self and I want all the best stuff from everyones roms I won't give it away or sell it or trade it or start fires... not again... but I do really want the color and dpi settings from Paranoid android and thats all.. can anyone send me a link or explain to me simply how to start doing this or how to teach my self to do it. No smart ass remarks please I know its making my own rom but I dunno where to start searching brings up 100's of posts about roms I dunno man so if u know easy way to start doing this let me know please if don't mind helping me PM me please. I had long day work I could use something to get my mind off real life
Chef central might be a good place to start. It's a forum here on xda.
However, a lot of what you're asking for requires frameworks specific to certain ROMs. If you can figure out what you need to run the features you're looking for, then you should theoretically be able to cook them into a ROM. Most features of android may as well be an apk that can be run anywhere, but many things require resources to function.
