Recent apps displayed screwed - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I modified dpi to 240 using Xposed App settings by setting dpi of Android and System UI to 240.
Nearly everything is okay, except for several things.
First one is Recent apps screen.
When you call up recent apps screen, there you can see thumbnails of recently used apps.
As you can see the first screenshot I attached, the thumbnails are scaled incorrectly. Actually frame around the thumbnails is not correctly scaled.

}
The Second one is similar with the first one, but occurs on another app.
When I send a photo using the app, also.frame is the matter.
I also modified dpi of the app to 240 with App Setting module..
I assume some application related to the frame needs modification of dpi, but I can figure it out.
Maybe modifying build.prop makes things simple, but when I did, samsung stock apps made problems, and some of them were not properly corrected even if I set their dpi to 320 via App Settings. This is why I modified System UI and Android rather than build prop.

always worked for me, not much else you can do unless you have photoshop and can remove the color banding.
The MMS compression fix and MMS 5MB limit flashable mods on the Themes and apps section seem to get rid of the wallpaper compression for me for some reason, even though this has nothing to do with MMS.

[Q] Which Market Version works with LCD density changed?

I have changed my LCD density to 210 on my Hercules. I'm running BeastMOD 4.2
I know if you change LCD density, you wont be able to download off market. However, someone had said that a particular version of the market WILL WORK with the DENSITY changed.
Anyone know what version of Market that is?
thasnk
Good question..
Sent from somewhere too far away from my computer
I reverted back to version 2.3.4. I couldn't get OldMarket to work but following this guide did the trick- http://ijustutter.com/get-your-old-android-market-back-remove-new-market
You know, I did that and I still cant download the apps that would appear before.
With old market, I cant even VIEW the apps that I couldnt download before (search traffic monitor)
Have you tried clearing your market cache? In fact, clear all market data & try again. There's no reason I can think of why you wouldn't be able to download or view apps unless they were taken off the market or something.
set the density back to 240, then download the apps that you wanted, after that change the density back to 210, that's what i did to my galaxy s2, i changed it to 190, launcher pro set it 5 columns and 7 rows, it looks so nice like a table

[Q] Text display problem

I'm changing the DPI of my screen in order to properly use the on-screen buttons, but when I change the DPIs at any number under 240..
this happens

The numbers look ugly and bad in relation with the text and stuff. Is this normal or it has any solution?
Most likely the system apps (such as Settings.apk) need modification.

The system apps may not be made for different DPIs than 240.

[Q] Knock On Screen DPI

I've changed the System.UI dpi to 530 with App Settings (Xposed module) and it works great. The issue I'm having is that that Knock On wallpaper is not full screen anymore. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Also, any way to get rid of the white square?

This might be a little late but as far as the white brackets, I use G3 Tweaksbox (you can get it here or on the play store) and it has an option to remove them. There's a lot of other tweaks too, especially if you pay for the full version. Hope this helps!
Thanks, used G3 Tweakbox and its an awesome app. Couldn't fix the dpi though, so just set it to default.
Same problem I'm having. I'm not using knock code but the lockscreen shows a small version like that for a second after turning the screen on and then goes to normal. Using 530 dpi also.

I set my DPI to 530 using Texdroider_DPI app not Xposed and don't have this problem... Most likely just an effect from it being through Xposed.

Xposed App Settings Tablet UI modes not activating correctly

I wanted to use the App Settings module for Xposed to switch some apps to use their tablet interface (namely, Chrome though at least other GApps I've tested behave similarly) while keeping the system DPI higher. 384 DPI on Note 4 successfully switches to apps' tablet interfaces as in the left screenshot (e.g. adb shell wm density 384):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But when I set specific apps to 384 DPI with Xposed App Settings while keeping the system DPI higher (480 in the image below), it stays on the phone interface, but scaled for the lower density, and sometimes with inconsistency issues (visible with the right screenshot with a part of the bottom cut off, as well as the address bar not fully hiding when scrolling down). Changing the App Settings display dimensions can activate the tablet interface but will result in a severely inconsistent GUI.
Is there a way (within App Settings, Xposed, or otherwise) to spoof DPI completely for an app without actually changing it for the system? It seems that the system DPI is still having an effect on some apps; is this a limit with what resources App Settings can affect?
I wasn't able to find any answers by just searching, so I thought I'd post device-specific first. Thanks!
