Personally I have modded my screen density in the past, but am currently running at stock 320.

do you mind sharing a link? I'm looking to mess around with my phone before AOKP M5 comes out, which should be any day now.
Yea. I modded my screen density once to 192. It was amazing with MHL. Until i realized that i couldn't access settings and that the market wouldn't allow me to download any apps and my current ones were also showing unsupported. no biggie, just changed the density back to stock and rebooted. what's that? Apps and market still showing unsupported? Cleared marked. Still doing it. Reentered google account. Still doing it.
Restored a nandroid and wont change my screen density again until something that actually works comes out. Too bad because 320 looks like ass when blown up on a 46 inch TV.

That was my problem. I REALLY liked the modified density, but it caused too many problems. I wonder if these have been worked out.

Not unless they've figured it out since the day before yesterday lolIf they come out with a working 192 and make the density changes without a reboot, I'm all in.
Better yet, auto switch to 192 when an MHL cable is inserted. Jelly bean anyone?

Seen this rom but don't want to run my phone at 192 all the time. Only when I'm on MHL.
This is one of the best keyboard and mouse sharing apps Ive used. If you use your N7 near your PC a lot, this is for you.

This looks very well done and the reviews have been good. I've been looking for exactly this type of app! Thanks!
Really great, exactly what I search for.
Suggestions:
- Option to disable the switching area
- Switching by double clicking the taskbar icon
- Better performance over wifi
- Option to use the right mouse button as given under Android (I think a few apps actually respond to it).
- Map tap and hold (probably not possible)
- Option to map the multitouch key
- Left + right mouse button for multitouch

can i use it for FPS android games?
I have been using ShareKM for a couple months ago and was working perfectly until today when i updated my nexus 7 to 4.3
The cursor is INVISIBLE,, i can move it, touch, toogle with ctrl + win, everything is fine even the keyboard but the fact that the cursor is invisible is pretty useless.
someone with the same issue?

Exactly facing the same issue.

So what did you find in the end? Anything that works with linux on the PC end? PC Loves Droid - is that Windows only?
I'm experiencing the same issue using Nexus 7, 4.3, and ShareKM. I've asked around and haven't found any alternatives yet.
Cool! Does it work with USB keyboard mouse?
Yeap, facing the invisible cursor issue. Mailed the developer but no reply yet.
There's another app, BBQScreen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bbqdroid.bbqscreen
It's basically a vnc/rdp type app that allows you to control your tablet from your pc by remote connection. Doesn't work yet on 4.3, but the developer seems active and says it'll be supported soon.
Still having an invisible cursor and now it is having trouble connecting to my Nexus 7. It will only connect if I have the Nexus Root Toolkit application open, otherwise it doesn't recognize that I have a device connected. It has to do with the USB driver possibly, but I've reinstalled the drivers several times and never get a new authorization pop-up. I wish this thing would get updated or a reliable alternative would come out.
I have the same invisible cursor issue on Nexus 7 2013
yeah i'd connect perfectly, except cursor is invisible

While sending an E-mail is fine, please don't leave one star reviews on apps just because an update broke it especially if it is completely FREE like sharekm. It's not the dev's fault at all, there is no way for the dev to have known that a new update would break his code. Its reviews like that discourage devs. You are right this app is "baller" but please be a little more understanding, SmartUX (the developer of ShareKM) does not even have a donation method and as far as I can tell makes NO money off ShareKM. I really hope he updates his app, and if you ever come across this SmartUX; please add a donation method or even flattr on your site, I would love to support you.

I understand what you mean for the 1 star review, but I will say I do it because its an attention grabber. I always update reviews if the app is fixed. Devs also have the ability to respond to reviews. I understand it wasn't his fault, but for any new user who downloads it TODAY, but review is accurate. Part of being a good dev is continued support.
That being said, I understand this is a free app. I cannot BELIEVE it is free. If there was a paid version, I would very much so pony up $5-$10 for this app. Seriously.
Would be great if this worked... can only connect with nexus root toolkit open and still getting an invisible pointer on 4.3 nexus 7 (2013). keyboard portion works great though.
I tried enabling "pointer location" in dev options, but that just instantly crashes the tablet when the mouse is clicked...
"show touches" can be enabled, but pointer clicks don't count as touches I guess. Any other ideas?

If anyone else is looking for a similar program to this that works in android 4.3, there is now an alpha version of synergy for android available here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/synergyandroid/
It's a little buggy, but it works. Shows a mouse pointer and everything. I had to hit scroll lock a few times to get it working initially
I've been using this app for awhile and it's amazing. It had been working great until I updated my Nexus 4 to CM 10.2 yesterday and now I have the invisible cursor as well, so same as everyone else the 4.3 is causing the issue. I use this app at work and can't live without it at this point . Hoping for a fix really soon.
Funny thing is, I have CM10.2 Nightlies on both my N7 (OG) and S3... the cursour shows on the S3, but not on the N7.
Is it possible without needing to install a ROM? What I basically want is the ability to have the dockbar move to the bottom of the screen when I rotate it to landscape instead of staying on the short side like it currently does. I want my dockbar always along the bottom edge of the screen no matter what position I'm holding the tablet. Currently no launchers that I know of allow this as an option. Any ideas that don't involve ROMs?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418867
This should do that until a new mods gets released .
You have to be rooted for this mod to work.
Hope that helps.

I don't think real tablet UI has a dock. And a launcher like apex would give you the option to disable the dock like in larger tablets.
if you want true tablet ui, buy an iPad mini
What exactly do you mean with real tablet UI - the failed UI experiment from google in the past?
The N7 has the current tablet UI.

The current N7 uses the phablet ui. He means the honeycomb like ui. Whether you consider it failed or not does not matter some (me included) prefer it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I prefer that tablet ui too... would love some insight if tablet ui is possible at all in a CarbonRom.
I like the Honeycomb look better as well. My biggest issue is that all of the apps from the play store are downloaded as the phone version, not the tablet version. I bought a tablet to have tablet apps, not phone apps - I don't care that the screen is only 7".
Honeycomb ui works fine for a tablet all operations takes place below the screen. Unlike this new ui were you always have to reach the notification area
Most other android tablets ( like galaxy tab, acers and others) Have the tabletUI (honeycomb or whatever the hell you wanna call it)
Why? Because with the way you hold your tablet, its way easier to hit the buttons and swipe where you need to with that setup.
At least it would be nice to have the option to change it.
I use guest profiles and what not so i cannot use the method posted above
Hopefully we will get tablet UI on stock somehow working good....
hmm... the older I get, the lazier i get to mess with roms
I would install ParanoidAndroid if I were to flaSH....

Also a lot of wasted screen real estate on the N7 between the forced search bar and top & bottom bar.

Email the devs of the apps you buy and state your want to get a tablet version. easy peezy.

When people don't buy apps that devs spent lots of effort on, its discouraging.

It's nothing to do with the devs. It's the way the play store sees the nexus 7. USA today has a tablet version of their app. Directv has a tablet version. On the galaxy tab 8.9 for instance, I could get those. Maybe it's something to do with build.prop?

I saw that the USA app though says its for both phones and tablets. the direcTV one though , says not compatible with my device... of course we can always download the APK from somewhere but i think this calls for a petition to google to make sure we are getting the maximum experience on our devices.
the Wallet app I can understand, with the security thing and whatever but this? this is recidulous. and Now that You've mentioned it, I actally had a few apps on my nexus 10 which i cannot install on my nexus 7 (tablet apps)
weird right?

You DO get tablet apps if you want. Changes in DPI determine app layout. PA lets you choose DPI on an app to app basis without trashing your market. Meaning modifications to build.prop are broad and make your market think you are a tablet which for some apps is bad, so they don't do that.

In most cases yes. However (for whatever reason) some companies/developers choose to publish two separate apps to the Play Store - one for phones and one for tablets, and unless your device is identified as a tablet the tablet version of the app is marked as incompatible (and the phone version doesn't include the tablet layout so it isn't available by dpi/layout changes).
Again, however, this is something that the app devs should be sorting - provide one apk that contains all layouts and the problem is solved (because then you can use PA or whatever to use whichever layout you like).

Trotter I would guess that you are probably going to reset device and reload everything it sounds like there is a glitch in your downloads if you have a root Explorer you could delete all instances of SwiftKey in your data and apps and make a fresh download from play store and try that before you reset, my glitch last week nothing I tried to fix it worked till I reset my device.

Latest update broke it. The previous version works. You need 5.3.2.67-x86.
I'm still experiencing the same issue. I've used Google Keyboard for awhile, but I wish I could return to Swiftkey.
I found out that the bug comes from divergence between the physical density and the override density. My physical is at 480, and I changed it with adb to 380. But the terminal indicates that the physical is still 480 and the override is now 380.
Following this (reddit dot com/r/nexus6/comments/2nvax8/psa_for_those_who_have_changed_the_dpi_and_are/cmhd5pa), I tried to change it by modifying the build.prop. No luck, the tweek is not in that file on the Zenfone 2, but in the default.prop, which unfortunately seems un-editable.
Has someone a solution or am I condemned to use another keyboard ?
PS : sorry for the link, I'm a long time lurker but first time poster, so restricted !
Apparently Swiftkey does not play nice on anything other than the default resolution of the device. I went back to default and switched to a different launcher, no more troubles,.

So it's actually a launcher problem ?
No, it is a screen resolution/density problem. Swiftkey doesn't work on anything besides the default resolution/density except for a couple of releases. If you go back the default setting it will work fine.
I now use Nova Launcher on my phone instead of the default launcher. I live the default one but can't stand only have four icons per row on this large of a screen. Nove does what I want without a bunch of fuss. I use the 3KMNML White icon pack and the default red wallpaper, looks nice.
In my previous smartphones (galaxy s3,lg g3) always use swiftkey with custom dpi and work brilliant. Why with zenfone 2 doesn't work? Is because Intel chip? Really like this phone but will like it even more if we can change dpi and use swiftkey.
Hello everybody.
Try this one "com.touchtype.swiftkey-5.3.2.67-677446706-minAPI9.apk" from
APK-Mirror or somewhere else. Keyboard will work with custom DPI but i
would recommend to stop it from Google Play Updates.

For me swiftkey always work with my previous phones. ZF2 is the first that don't support dpi change and swiftkey. So if is not phone problem, what is? The same happen in Lg L3 but only if i change screen resolution, from 4k to Full HD. But if i Change only dpi, all work brilliant...

Thank you ! This actually works, I'm glad to use it until an official fix.
Is this the last working version for modified DPI on the ZP2 ?
A Solution to Swiftkey Issue
I was determined to use a smaller dpi setting on my ZF2 whist still being able to enjoy Swiftkey (I hated to stock Asus keyboard).
I was trying stock dpi settings and using xposed app settings module to adjust dpi of individual apps/settings, but V1.10 wasn't working on the ZF2. Then I found a reference to V1.13 for marshmallow. I tried it and it works!
So now I leave phone at stock dpi settings and use app settings V1.13 to modify dpi of System UI, Gmail, XDA, playstore and various other apps whilst still enjoying Swiftkey and some other apps/widgets that weren't resizing properly before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpo...2014-05-14-t2437377/post63835421#post63835421
But of course you need to be rooted to use Xposed.

Yes SwiftKey was taking up about half the screen initially, but there is a setting in SwiftKey to resize the keyboard. If you swipe right from the top left corner of the keyboard a menu comes up which allows you the change layout, resize, undock etc. This worked for me.

Hey thanks for this! I actually picked this up and from the Pixel XL forum and applied it to my Pixel "L".
I've mentioned this a few times already in different threads, but I think if there was a way to type in the two URL's for the Pixel L and XL - kind of like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel+pixel-xl
that would be REALLY helpful because I've found useful info on each forum that wasn't on the other, and vice versa.
Also, great work! Thank you
So just for clarity, is this essentially a Tasker easy mode? What is the difference between using regular and pro? Just removing the ads? I've installed and will play with it more in depth tomorrow.
I like your app, I paid for the pro version, well worth the money.=)
I use it to enable sync so I can turn it on and off on demand without using a custom ROM.

Tasker is an automation app, so the general app purpose is different, but from a "fire activity X" point of view you are right (btw. you can easily combine Tasker and QuickTile via the QuickTile Broadcast activity)
Regular vs. Pro:
- Same Features, BUT the number of Tiles are limited (3 vs. 10) and the number of activities per tile (3 vs. no limit) are limited. So you can use each and every feature and test it via the regular version. I think, most people will never use more than 3 Tiles and more than 3 activities per tile.
- No Ads

Fantastic breakdown. I'm actually excited to give this a whirl.
@ascsa bro
Thanks alot for this fantastic app. Its works like a charm in my Unrooted One Plus 3 Nougat 7.0. U saved my Alert Slider button and volume button. Only two toggles missing is Screenshot and Reboot. I need root for that so no problem.. Once again thanks alot...
Thanks @ascsa,
I like this app a lot. There's one feature I would like to see or it may be more than one to accomplish it.
Sort of in line with the cycles part of the app, I'd like to be able to long press a tile and have it let me pick my action, say for instance in reboot, hold tile, select from list of options...Recovery,Bootloader,System, etc. Don't know if thats possible, but with the app long press menus it might be something to look into. The way the cycles thing works now unless Im misunderstanding it is that it will just go from one set of instructions to the other without giving you a choice.
Something else that would be nice would be the ability to convert any QuickTile to a widget so you could put it on the homescreen. Or a shortcut , that way you could put a few into a folder and pick your poison that way.
Otherwise a great addition to my Pixel.

Sort of in line with the cycles part of the app, I'd like to be able to long press a tile and have it let me pick my action, say for instance in reboot, hold tile, select from list of options...Recovery,Bootloader,System, etc. Don't know if thats possible, but with the app long press menus it might be something to look into. The way the cycles thing works now unless Im misunderstanding it is that it will just go from one set of instructions to the other without giving you a choice.
Something else that would be nice would be the ability to convert any QuickTile to a widget so you could put it on the homescreen. Or a shortcut , that way you could put a few into a folder and pick your poison that way.
Otherwise a great addition to my Pixel.

Come to think of it I just installed WETA mod and should be able to access its reboot actions.

Yes, you understand the cycles correct.
Longpress and multiple tiles does not work nicely together and the app long press menus are something different. Currently i am not aware of any possibility to implement such a solution, but the API is new (and could change with future releases) and sometimes you can hack around restrictions. However, the overall use case (let users pick some action) is interesting and I have one or two ideas how to implement it, I will have a deeper look at it, eventually.
Widget and shortcut support is on my to-do list, but it´s not the apps main purpose ....
btw. I use a QuickTile as container for some rarely used activities : put your rarely used activities all into one tile, deactivate them (so they do not all fire when you fire the tile) and then you can fire a single activity via longpress the activity (run) in the quicktile app .... not the most user friendly approach, but I use this frequently.
Any issues with the 1.4.5 update?

these are the best questions
Update 1.5.1
Update 1.5.1 is out in the wild now (--> Google Play)
Usually the Nexus (now Pixel?) devices, stock Android and SuperSu (for root) are my baseline for development.
In the past, a lot of manufacturer roms as well as custom roms implemented a lot of workarounds, non-standard APIs and even changed some of the standard APIs. It was, and still is, a support nightmare. However, the 1.5.1 update contains a compatibility mode for non-supersu root apps and fixes some of the horrible custom rom workarounds (looking at you, CM ). I certainly can not fix all the workaround and bugs in all custom (and manufacturer!) roms but 1.5.1 should fix at least some of the common ones. Especially the root activities should now work much more stable on CM.
Update 1.5.1
- Advanced custom rom support
- Minor tweaks and fixes
Any promo codes still available? Thanks!

Any more available? I'd love to try this with all my Tasker plugins. The possibilities seem endless!

Yep, the plugin activity is very powerful.... Theoretically all activity plugins, following the api guidelines, should work...
