Help, Screen view problem!!

Ok, I really don't know what happened. I charged the phone last night, and it froze overnight( not a normal occurrence). So this morning I did a battery pull and restart. It had some issues restarting, it took 3 tries to get it to work. Then when it did start, the display was odd. Everything is very small. The display still stretches the entire screen, just very small. Almost like the phone thinks it is a tablet. I was running cm9, but I flashed back to stock FTF about a month ago. Only thing done since is root (to retrieve titanium backups) and install cwm. I know that I could probably flash again and solve problems, but I just don't want to mess with rooting and restoring again. I tried clearing cache and dalvic cache, but no luck. I have attached screenshots of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what is up with the notification bar, but it goes away when in landscape mode. (shown in pic)

Mybe u should refer this to the rom thread or read through the rom thread 1st. Coz mybe sm1 already suffers the same issues with the rom..

...That looks pretty sweet actually, garbled notification text aside XD

My big question is what could cause this even? I've nevrr even heard of this happening
Sent from my R800x using xda premium

No, no custom themes or any build.prop edits. But, could this be caused or fixed by a build.prop edit?

It looks like your pixel density is messed up all the small icons I remember messing around with it before and thats what it use to happen when I set it to high... I remember there is an app that can do that if ur rooted but the blurry notification don't know what could cause that

It was the lcd density. I went into rom toolbox and checked it. The slider was at the minimum. I raised it to half and rebooted. Problem solved. It also fixed the notification bar. Does anyone know the correct density to use?

Screen Tearing

Guys,
I flashed Cow Rom on to my phone. everything was working fine except for that screen tear issue. I couldnt enable V-sync, and there was support on what to do, only thing i could find was to edit the buildprop, but that didnt solve anything.
so i flashed another rom, blacknotes, and the problem is still there. i then did a factory wipe, formay system, format cache, and flashed a stock firmware to the phone, and the problem is still there. hwo can this be? how do i stop the screen tearing? it only appears when im in the application or menu or settings screen, normally black background. when im at the launcher screens there isnt any screen tearing

Nobody??? Wow the level of support on this side is ....,.......

this is no support hotline!
you can kindly ask, but when nobody answers, please don't be unpolite.
this is a forum!

Im not trying to be rude. Im just suprise that nobody has any suggestions at all on what i can possibly do. Ive asked in the several places and so far one guy is helping. But he suggested what i have already read in the forum from searches i have done.
There are developers here...quite a giod number...but no help. In the other groups with less users and developers. people at least try.
Im just speechless.im not making any personal attacks on anyone. So just take a chill pill

Don't understand why those methods didn't work...

How did I do this?

Yes, I know that the title is a little obscure, but I have no idea how to define the "issue" that I have (see picture). I've seen this before, but I don't know where. It only happens when I want to use Google Now. Any ideas?

Why don't you try helping us a bit with some basic info, like what rom are you running?
It looks like some kind of mod...

Sorry, completely forgot it. Euroskanked AOKP 0801, Franco kernel r230, no mods flashed.

I actually made a nandroid, downloaded and flashed the rom myself. All I can report from my research is -
I haven't got a clue. Went thru all of the rom's settings and I didn't see anything there that could change it...
Is it causing some kind of problem? Besides the fact that the touch point doesn't look like it normally should (like in the attached screenshot) is there any lag? Does it crash?

Thanks for the help, I might try to flash it again to see what happens. It doesn't cause any problem whatsoever, just looked abnormal and I remember I saw something like this before.

Did u flash/apply a theme???

[MOD] CMX-Hold back to kill - TimeOut

************ONLY FOR CYANOGENMOD 10 9/14 nightly and newer**************
Here i present to you multiple flashable zip files to change your Hold back to kill timeout.
Do you think the stock one is too long? Then flash one with a shorter time
Dont like the short time? Flash one with longer time.
Its simple
Place your prefered delay time zip file on your sdcard.
Boot to recovery
Flash the zip.
Reboot.
Profit

Thanks so much for this. Will it work for any AOSP ROM that is based on CM10, like AOKP or Paranoid Android? This is probably the only mod I ever REALLY wanted for CM. AOKP's time out is just about right for me though. Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated.

AOKP might cause a bootloop. NANDROID before flashing. Paranoid android from what i have been reading is based off of CM source, so it might work. My CM10 center clock mod worked on Paranoid android so im pretty sure this will as well.
ALSO to everyone using this, if it doesnt work, mount /system in recovery "mounts and storage" first then flash the zip. i just saw there was an error in my updater-script, nothing severe it just wont mount the system. And my upload speeds suck xD

It's inside the framework-res.apk. it's an XML that needs editing then recompile. Framework-res.apk/Res/values/integers.XML.

Tablet UI. I was also seeing weird symbols popping up in the process, like when I cleared cache and fixed permissions to see if that would fix it, the prompt at boot up said something like "upgrading applications $% of $%" but for some reason couldn't upgrade any of them, so it just started right up, and immediately gave me a UI FC.

So i installed this on my Epic 4g touch(CM10) and it keeps bringing up the navigation bar on the bottom, and there is no way to disable it. Not sure why it would bring that up... Any ideas?

If u hold "back" on cm ROMs u can "kill" the app running. Some ppl prefer a shorter "long press" this will shorten that time.

I apologize for not updating this! I had just reinstalled windows after getting the ZeroAccess TrojanHorse in system32/services.exe.
And busy getting my next semester in order!
So in the near future I will have updates posted!
A new feature of cm10 is the low battery notification light. This blink rate can be edited. So if people want this edited post some led on times followed by led off times both in milliseconds.
For example 500,500
500 milliseconds on 500 milliseconds off. (This is what I use and love it) but post some ideas for different times and I'll make those edits too.

I know this is an old thread, but I cannot find an updated version of this. I am running CM 10.1 on my SIII and these ZIP files do not work. Is there a CM 10.1 version of this?
Thank you.

It's built into CM10. It's in the Developer Settings at the bottom.

Help please!

Every time I accidentally add a widget to my home screen like picture frame or flip board medium, it highly lags my fps. From 60 to 3 even after removing it, restarting my phone, and clearing ram and ending all active apps. Someone help me? I've already factory reset 3 times because of this very annoying bug

what u might wanna do is download voltage control and see if it isnt effecting ure speeds performance, alot has to do with overclocking and upscaling and downscaling when u do roms specially if uve installed kernels with OC on it. make sure that settings are corect, like governor section is to this category
500000 SA
90-95 for UP
10 DD
4 SDF
0 for both INL and PB
1 to IIB thats normal upscaling to governor
also make sure that ure settings arent set to low other then ondemand, or powersave, best once that seem to help are ondemand and msm-dcvs if voltage supports it. second section should be at cfq.
, if that doesnt fix it, u might wanna try a different rom if that doesnt fixes the problem, other whize u gonna have to odin back to stock do a factory reset from ure phone not the CWM do it 2 or 3 times, and re-try again and see if that fixs it.
Im not a dev so im not a pure expert at this but i go by how my phone functions with every rom i flash and the performance it gives, ive found both Phantom blaze and paranoid android roms seem to be the best for me. i switch back and forth to each other because i like the phablet mode on paranoid, and smooth and impressive battery life saver on phantoms. No kernels, other then what already comes with, except for the 2100mhz load krnel that supports for paranoid android,. seriously battery killer thought if u OC it to 2100.

either u might have a faulty GS3 or ure software installation went utterly wrong while updating and messed up somewhere in the middle of the installation. did u get it updated already or did u get it when it was using lg2 modem?
if u got it with the LG8 modem, try odin it back to LG2 or lower, and update from there, see if that helps.
u dont need to worry bout ure flash count going up because samsung software doesnt count on ure flash count no matter how many times u flash the Stock modem.

Um idk what that means. All I know is I have everything updated via updates and every S3 does this if it's stock. This is my second and it does it to. Set the picture frame widget or flip board widget medium to your home screen then do a nenamark

humm,...couldnt tell yah, if uve never rooted ure phone and are using stock software u might have a faulty gs3 with faulty software, ive never had my gs3 mess up on me on stock rom before i rooted. Ive had my GS3 non-rooted for about 3 weeks updated and all and no issues, no slow downs, only issues ive had was 1: my friend breaking my phone, 2 battery life, and not being able to store ure apps to ure sd card, all which was an easy fix with rooting and making my buddy get me a new phone.

Seriously? You are really asking this? Wow, unbelievable

Well I would personally think there's someone who knows how to fix this.. visually there's no difference. But after nenamark once I remove the widget I drop to 30 fps. And it stays that way. My thought is that it is locked into some sort of cache that I have to manually delete or clear for it to be like it never was added to home screen

Its like it was mention above, there really isnt anything any of the devs can do, if ure not rooted, and ure arent operating under a custom rom, ure pretty much using stock base software which only has to do with normal built development done by samsung, they should be ones u should be contacting not the devs here.......they only deal with phones with root and custom roms to make the phone better. Now u could try rooting ure phone and installig a custom rom to see if that does fix the problem, in most cases like ures, only thing to do is take it in to a sprint store and have it inspect or do it ureself odin it with a earlier version of modem, best 1 would be LG2 modem and update from there and see if that changes anything, i can garante u if u do take it to sprint they might charge u to inspect it again, and all they gonna do is odin ure phone from an earlier versions.

I'll have to add this to my list of rude things that shouldn't be said in a developers forum. We're not Samsung or Sprint customer service. We are people with lives, families, jobs, and other responsibilities. If you want help, this isn't the way to get it.

If you're stock non-rooted, then after a factory reset, there's nothing you could have done to mess this up.
If you go to a sprint store, they can reflash your stock software and see if that fixes the issue. It takes about 3 minutes, and in my experience, they've been very courtesy and helpful.

Try opening the settings>apps>launcher and clearing the cache and deleting the launchers data.
Widgets are stored in the launcher apps data, so clearing these values should put you back to default settings.
