[Q] Per-App Density Change? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am almost 100% sure this does not exist but I wanted to be sure by asking the geniuses here on XDA. I have VUDU apk installed on my Note 2 and notice that to get the UI to function my LCD density has to be 260, but since my phone is normally 320, when i switch to 260 my phone lags bad with many force closings, does anyone have a solution where i can manipulate LCD density for only the VUDU app? Thanks in advance!

Do a search for xposed framework it has settings where you can change the dpi on a per app basis. Follow instructions when installing so you dont run into any problems.

Enabling Nav-Bar via .buildprop?

On my old T-Mobile Vibrant before it was an option in CM we were able to enable the nav bar by editing the .buildprop. Can you do this on the T-Mobile S3 running CM10?

I'm sorry if my reply wasn't up to your exemplary standards, but I fail to see how was this^ or "Got me there lol did you try Google?" are any better. What I posted was actually a viable option that the Op may not have been familiar with. It allows for an easy addition of the NavBar, customization of the icons, resizing of the bar, and it's based off of the AOSP just as CM is.
Not everybody that posts an alternative is screaming (if you want to do that, you're dumb of not using this). Some are really just informing.

Telling someone to run a completely different ROM is not a solution to "enable nav bar via build.prop" however making a suggestion in an alternative ROM is different then commanding someone to do something. My first post was very helpful thank you very much. As was my second. The op and I were throwing ideas back and forth, I asked if he tried Google because that's what my next option would have been. Not to mention Google is solving his issue, not commanding someone to change their ROM. At least my posts were on topic.
Now to remain on topic, I think the sizing is determined by framework files and values.

I believe size cannot be changed via build.prop. You have to change the dpi but that makes everything bigger or smaller.
Yes you have to decompile and recompile the framework-res.apk to resize the navigation bar or to add power button to it.
Thanks for the replies :beer:

Hello. This method works great and actually adds the Nav Bar menu to your phone settings, which lets you modify the position and functions of the Nav Bar (including adding a menu button). Just flash the appropriate zip in the below thread and you should be good to go. There is also a zip for removing the Nav Bar as well.

I believe it was 320. I got mine set to 240 now Do u think you can mod the stock dialer and camera app to fit that!

Can you explain why you lowered the dpi and how you did it. . One would think one would want more dpi not less?

The lower dpi = higher "resolution" gives you more screen space smaller icons looks way better then the stock huge icons.
You should try it.
I did it with rom toolbox under screen density.

Stock Samsung keyboard ( Modfied )

Modfied Samsung Keyboard.
Thanks to (Arsaw) for the smali edits.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110841
Was able to modify the smali settings to enable:
*Long press from 500ms to 300ms
*System Font same as keyboard Keys
*Auto correction enabled.
*Space bar enables Highlighted words.
*Backup your Current Samsung Keyboard!*
*To Enable secondary keys you must have a Rom that has the feature.xml included..
Or add one to SYSTEM/CSC folder. Must change permissions and owner.. Reboot
Feature.xml http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c0hbhfcbuac0rv6
Place APK in SYSTEM/APPS change Permissions and Owner to Root/Root...And Reboot. ..and remember to enable samsung keyboard..
*Modified Apk alone*

Yeah, Clean 4.5. Flashed your mod in TWRP. Weird thing, though. ..my battery is now stuck at 28%. Would this have monkied with the 1% battery increments?
*EDIT*
Resolved the battery issue by returning to stock theme, then re applying my theme.

Strange.. it shouldn't have anything to do with that..The zip only contains the apk and a script to install it and to change permissions...The keyboard is modfied with some smali edits... But might have just been coincidence..
No worky on SkyNote. Side loaded, set permissions, set owner, rebooted. Android was set as default, set Samsung, no keyboard. Rebooted to twrp, wiped caches, fixed permissions, no joy. Went into app manager, wiped caxhe and data, still no worky.
Can confirm keyboard works with clean rom 4.5. Good job wish.

The option is available in root explorer, just long press it. I've noticed one issue with the keyboard. If you don't spell a word the way the keyboard has it, it will continue to auto correct no matter what, instead of allowing you to add the word.

Changing DPI in Jelly Bean

I recently finally switched over to jelly bean from gingerbread. I used to use lcd modder pro to change my LCD density to 200 giving me the perfect screen resolution. I tried using it on JB and all it did was give me a soft brick making me reinstall everything. Is there something that works well with JB now to do the same thing? Also I would need to fix the problem with market incompability (LCD Modder fixed this inherently).
Thanks for any tips.

Yes, RTP sites a good job changing dpi. What you'll find, however cc is that some apps don't adjust properly, ie dialer, mail. For this I use the per app dpi changer. Great app found on here at XDA.

Say if I wanted to theme my stock rooted touchwiz. If I found a theme for the s4 touchwiz, I obviously can't flash it! But if I used a root explorer can I drag and drop replacing the files and reboot? Or would it not work cause or dpi is set at 480p? I just miss themeing! I wish I could make the PCB circuit board theme work on our Note 3!

Sorry to say, no. Here is why sir.
1. S4 is still on android 4.2 based, while Note III is android 4.3 so things will be different.
2. The layout files will be different, which is a big piece.
Dpi wont come into play, becuase they both use xxHdpi images.. so the image part should for most part be fine to drag into Launcher3.apk. Not a guareentee all will be fine.. but should.
My suggestion..
1. If you have Root, have Nova or Apex loaded and make sure works.
2. With one of the above running, you can rename your launcher3.apk
3. I would only drag images from s4 launcher into Note III launcher.
4. Replace luancher apk on Note III change permission, reboot.
5. change back to TW Launcher..
With us just getting Root. You gotta give us a bit to get things going..

You take a huge chance of messing up phone and getting fc's using apk from other carriers N3 stuff. Especially Framework/SystemUI is almost always different by each carrier. They add stuff into those files..

You need to have:
Android SDK
A graphic program like Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop
Apktool Manager
Java 6 and/or 7
That would be a start. Then you need to learn how to decompile Android Apk's

This thread is not the right area to request themign to be done, Use the Theme and Apps area fro that please.
The SecLauncher4.apk is the correct apk to decompile to get to labels for the launcher. I am not sure where those are at, haven't themed the Seclauncher since two versions ago..
I might suggest Nova whch will allow you to do things as well.
