Guide to change individual app dpi
You will need;
1 A root level file explorer like root explorer
2 A little patience
To perform the changes
So you need to find out if the app you want to change the dpi level for is either a system or data app, to do this open your file manager and look in system/app or data/app. You need to then long press the app you want and press rename. Then copy the app name by long pressing the text and press copy, dont copy any .apk or -1 at the end of the name.
Then navigate to system folder and look for build. prop/pad.prop. press the mount rw button then long press open in text editor. So now you need to remember where you found your chosen app, was it system or data? If system long press under then system header or if it was a data app look for the apps header. To paste your app name in the right place find a empty line, long press then paste. You need to add at the start of the line for your app pa.
Nearly there!
So next at the end you need to add .dd= and then your chosen dpi level.
So for example for apex, I have it as a system app and my line in pad.prop for apex looks like
pa.com.anddoes.launcher.dd=221
Then you need to press menu key, then save and exit. Restart your app and it should display how you want

dude..pa by ice had some bugs before where users werent able to use the settings menu...soo guide is for the future build of pa hopefully
also for the people who for some reasons cant change the settings through the menu
and its always better to have a full knowledge of what the roms changes ..manual methods are always perfect
never happened to me
Anyways Good Job

The 3.2.0 market was giving me «an error has occured» when try to buy an app.With that newest one the paid/download confirmation button stay grey and non-clickable.Same for everyone since 3.2.0?
Does this really work? Because 3.2.0 Market didn´t work on my phone.

Did you give permissions in your root explorer ? Maybe give it "again" or try to enable Root Permissions to all apps automatically ..
what is the different between 3.1.1..this one have limit sufficient data??
thank you very much for the contribution
Sometimes I still got the limit sufficient data error, do you know why, guys?

Hey guys
In their life, devs have surely a lot of things to think of, and NO, none of them is making thousands MODs for a ROM that works just fine. One of the most annoying requests that are flooding our forums is the black statusbar.
Well,thanks to the xPosed framework (You can find my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196265) you can black out your status bar (but that's one of the great things you can achieve using xPosed) without any development knowledge.
PAY ATTENTION: to apply this MOD, I assume you're able to press some buttons on your screen - just kidding :silly:
Instructions:
First of all, get xPosed Installer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
(Of course you need root+ busybox - if you're rooted but you've some problems you'll have to update your busybox, there's plenty of apps on the market that can do this)
Once you installed the app, open it, and press the "Install/Update" button, then if everything goes fine, reboot your phone. Once it's on again,download the xPosed Tweakbox from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629653 and install it.
open xPosed installer,go to the "Modules" tab and tick the xPosed Tweakbox box. In the app drawer you should have a new icon (the Tweakbox,of course), open it.
Now you'll see some options: let's focus on "Statusbar"
Tick the box near "Background color"
Once it's no more grayed, click on it and then you'll have a color slider
Move the slider,press on the right color box to apply aaand you're done If you don't see any change,reboot your phone.
But the xposed tweakbox is not limited to this! If you go to "Miscellanous" you'll find an useful feature you can find in CyanogenMod: skip tracks with the volume buttons when the screen is off. :laugh:
This thread has the purpose to be an input: now that you have set up your xPosed framework, go and discover by yourself its great potential!
Nice stuff

I had the same problem, easy to solve.
Just create a 'xposed' folder in your data directory with a root explorer.

Ok after a request here i decide to give it a try to create this as i wanted too and also as i see that many asked it...this is created using as base a CM10.1 custom rom i think it will work unchanged with official CM10.1 rom but i dont think it will work with any other roms like AOKP or PA,Pacman...you need to edit it a bit to make it work...
I choose chrome based windows cause pretty like that what i wanted..you can try by changing a single .png file but you may having problems with application title..cause its coded to show in the place that chrome window have space...
Anyway this is my 2nd "Theme" called it what ever you liked

The distortion on the recent apps may caused by two reasons...
1)I have changed my dpi to 268 by editing build.prop
2)I have put wrong pixels size to thumbnails

You can find more styles here
1. Stock Browser tab view style
2. Chrome Browser style
3. Black small line
Thanks @vicino for his tutorial
Thanks @evilisto for his tutorial too
I needed both tutorials to make this work!!
Ok to make this work...
1)Follow everything on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116735
1a)6. Go to framework-res\es\values\dimens.xml and change thumbnail height and width size to:
Here it ask you to change this two values to 160 and 240 as i do but as you can see it stretces my images so you may need to play with those values a bit!!
2)After this you need to have the two files a post...and you need to take YOUR APK same xml's and compare them with mine...for this i use this, i myself only edit what different on "MINE" xmls only..i left the APK'S xmls extra stuff as it is...
3)Do the same with the 2nd xml i have upload
4)Compile your apk and check your log if you had errors on compiling..
Its not extremly difficult the key part is to compare the two xml's and edit the right stuff...its not hard but need 40-45minutes to double check all the time the code on xmls!!
Have fun!

Systemui is the most editable file in the rom..so all the new tweaks devs add to their roms pass through this file....my base rom is a cm10.1 with a bit of tweaks..so my systemui is a way smaller than systemui from PA and all this features are missing from PA's systemui...

I've looked through threads on here and google of course but can't seem to find a simple application that enables you to put custom text in the status bar of my Xperia. I've seen a lot of apps that allow you to change the text in the pull down menu of the status bar.

if you mean custom fonts then that can be found in the system, you can change them but may cause a bootloop

I've been with XDA for a while now and noticed that, Android is a bit more of a challenge than iOS. :laugh:
Try this
I suggest looking up the requirements for Apktool or what ever you used to decompile , just check that everythign is installed
aswell as ensure that your Framework-res.apk is installed and your UxpGeneric(blah forgot the name) is also installed
useful (with apktool)
frameworks can be installed using apktool if "NAME"
framwork files are necisary to decompiling and recompiling apk files ,

Hi,
This is a great tutorial to understand how to move stuff on the status bar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767593
In the "Best Method", it is mentioned - HERE GOES ALL THE CODES FOR THE ITEMS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STATUSBAR
Once you understand how to do it, all you have to do is add a TextView element to the left part of the status bar, with the proper attributes and recompile the apk. Then copy META-INF and Android Manifest.xml from the original apk to the modified apk. That should do it
Good luck.
