Change pixel density

Just now I applied a trick to have more info on my screen by changing the dpi setting. To to so in /system/build.prop modify the following line:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
I changed it to 200. After modifying the settings in Launcher Pro I now have 6 rows and 5 columns in my homescreens which still have enough space in between.
You need root access to change system files. The file manager also needs to have root access. I used Super Manager for this.
I got this hack from doid-life. They also give an alternative way using adb.

You can also alter the build.prop by installing the PropEditor-0.3.apk from the following link;
http://code.google.com/p/net-widgetron-propeditor/downloads/detail?name=PropEditor-0.3.apk

Thanks, that made it a lot easier!

Now I also changed these lines:
Code:
ro.wifi.channels=14
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90
This way all 14 wifi channels are available (also in 3G mobile hotspot) and the phone scans every 90 seconds for new wifi networks instead of the default 45 seconds. As I always have wifi on that saves some battery.

Ok this is weird. I just discovered that anything else than 240 dpi renders the dialer unusable. Sometimes it opens to only close again a split second later. Pitty because I really like the lower dpi setting. Back at 240 dpi it feels like a phone for the vision impaired.

Can i ask how exactly are the changes brought to dpi adjust?

Can someone please post a screenshot? Because I think this will make everything smaller so it's very hard to read anything.

LCDDensity for Root makes the same, you can find it on the market, free of charge.

Cool thanks for this.

I started changing screen density with my HD2 when they only had android from sd card. Basically lower number means "higher definition" and you can fit more things on the screen.

so waht does having 14 channels for WIFI do?

When I change the pixel density, I get FC when opening „phone„. I am using Pay's ROM.

It allows people to connect to broadcasts on all possible WiFi channels around the world.
So North Americans who might be originally limited to 1-11 (is the NA device locked to this though?) won't miss out on the odd coffee shop hotspot overseas that broadcasts on 13.

Try to download spare parts from the market (if its not in that rom already) and uncheck compatibility mode and restart your phone. might work.

[Q] T-Mobile My Account app device recognition on CM7

So I am not sure if anyone has posted or done this yet, but when on CM7, the model number of our phone is changed to HTC Vision instead of T-Mobile G2. With this change, we are not able to take full functionality of the T-Mobile My Account app. It says you are using a non T-Mobile device.
To change this. Open up the build.prop file and edit the following in a text editor.
Change this...
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=vision
To this...
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=T-Mobile
After doing so, save and exit, or save and place back in the /system folder if you edited on your computer
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App

A reboot is needed for the changes to happen. But it gave me full use of the My Account/My Device app from T-Mobile.

thanks i was wondering about this a couple weeks ago lol

Yeah, I know nothing about coding and all that stuff, pretty much know just what to do when I read instructions.. lol..
but this issue had been bugging me so I decided to just look around and when I looked in the build.prop file I saw where it said HTC Vision, decided to change it to T-Mobile G2 to see if it would do anything, and wala, it did. lol.
did it work for you?

Thanks, wondering about this as well. Running CM6.1.1, I just needed to change the model.

you're welcome! glad I could be of help!

Thanks for this, it does indeed improve a few issues.
Edit: After using this and rebooting, Swype complained that I'm using it from a different device than intended, and that it will operate with limited functionality.
Just letting you guys know in case the issue comes up for you as well.

So after finding the file, I changed it, editing with two different apps, and each time I went to save, I got an "error trying to save" for both apps. I did a reboot, and also attempted with Myaccount installed and uinstalled.
What could be causing the error?
What would be the process using the PC? ADB?

Basically you need to do it from your phone. I use root explorer.
Navigate to the /system folder
Mount r/w (up in the right hand corner of root explorer)
Long press on the build.prop file
Scroll down to Open in Text Editor
Once in the text editor, find and change those 2 lines.
Hit menu > save & exit
Then reboot your phone

If you have root explorer you can edit it straight from the phone.(reboot required afterwards)
I downlaod the CM nightlies to my pc then edit the build.prop as well as add in/change some system apps(swype and the swype lib file, quick office, and an older email.apk that doesn't require pin lockscreen on exchange) then move to the phone and flash.

I did from the phone before. I have just been reluctant to purchasing Root Explorer. I finally did after reading your post, if it didnt work return within 15, but it worked. I am now keeping it.
The two other apps claimed SU, but none actually asked for permission. This is what was the issue.

I actually prefer SU File Manager & Terminal.
It's $1.99 and does zip support, file browsing, /system remount, multi-select, built-in Terminal(!), PC explorer over WiFi (which Root Explorer doesn't even have - and Root Explorer costs ~$3 more!)
Plus it's made by someone here at XDA so I appreciate it even more
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.protocol.x.su.fbs&feature=search_result
That's the link if you want to check it out. It came as a no-brainer to me to buy that instead of Root Explorer because it has more features AND has a less expensive price tag.
Please excuse my somewhat off-topicness, just trying to help out though

I know this thread is a little dated, but just an update. When I changed both lines, Swype stopped working and threw an error. I changed the brand value back and both Swype worked and the T-Mobile "My Device" app did as well. The correct brand value for me was "tmobile".
Hope this is helpful. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread. Answered a question I had.

I have no problems using the T-Mobile My Account app with the default CM7 build.prop, everything shows up as it should. My gripe with the My Account app is that it doesn't work over Wi-Fi.

Thanks for the tip on SU File Manager. I love Root Explorer, but it lacks support for Windows/SMB shares, which is kind of a hassle. Currently I use ES File Explorer for share browsing and Root Explorer for everything else. I'll have to look into SU File Manager though.

[HOW TO] Entitlement check for Unlimited Data VZW M Users

Okay all, just trying to help out.
G/F has the M and it's rather flaky with FoxFi and getting tether to work. Therefore to help some out, buy SQLite (original RAZR and MAXX owners should be familiar with this) from the Play Store.
The path will be "data/user/0/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases"
So select data > user > 0 > com.motorola.android.providers.settings > databases > settings.db > settings
After selecting settings a list will pop up. You can do one of two things. Tap the magnifying glass and type "entitlement_check" and search for that, or scroll down to line 68 (yours may be a different line) and select it.
Tap the pencil icon.
You will see a new screen that has _id "auto", name "entitlement_check", and value "1". Change the "1" to a "0".
Hit save.
You should now be able to use the stock VZW hotspot app.
(This is on stock rooted ICS, not sure if this works on the Jellybean leak, but should tide us over til some custom roms get rolling that bypass this altogether.)

This worked great on the JB update, thanks! I did need to reboot after making changes to have it take effect, but otherwise, worked great. I was able to do both WiFi hotspot and Bluetooth tethering.

Interestingly I don't need to do this to enable the hotspot even though I don't have unlimited data. Are you sure it's even required anymore?

Unfortunately for unlimited data users it is required. We don't get free tethering as tiered data users do.

Thanks seems to work fine.

worked like a charm thanks!

Used it to upload several movie files to my dropbox lol. 20mbps up is so amazing vs 2mbps on home wifi. Uploaded a video to youtube too. Unlimited data, gonna stick it to the man!
*edit* I'm on the Jelly Bean leak.

Thanks!! This worked perfectly on the JB OTA. Made the changes, reboot and BOOM. Testing the tethering right now...

Glad its working for you guys. My Dev M should be here tomorrow. So I'm excited to be in this neck of the woods for a while now. As others have confirmed...this does work on the JB OTA. :good:

What am I doing wrong
Excuse my ignorance but I seem to be falling short here... what exactly are you guys doing? From inside the SQLite manager I'm selecting "data" but there is no "user" after that! Also checked Astro File Manager. Please help

Guessing you're not at the root directory maybe? Do you have root explorer? Haven't used Astro since my old phone no Gingerbread so not sure if it has root access.

Motoman, sorry bud, was at work and just got home. Got your PMs bro. :good:
Okay is your M rooted? If so then SQLite should find the root directory. (Going to come back and edit this in a minute)
ETA:
Okay in SQLite there are four tabs at the top. APPS, FILES, BOOKMARKS, RECENT
Hit the FILES tab.
Then scroll down to "data" folder and select it. Your "user" folder should be all the way at the bottom after selecting "data"

rooted on JB OTA. Worked perfectly after a reboot! Thanks

Welp thanks to tethering and the awesomeness of LTE uploading I have used an ass load of data. I uploaded some music and TV shows to my dropbox for some friends.

Then wifi tether is still an entitlement change with SQL lite? Or do I news to buy development version of the M?

Ways to stream content to TV

Given the moto G's lack of DLNA & Miracast/MHL I was wondering what ways are possible to stream pictures, music, video from my phone over to a TV
Currently this is how I do it, with mixed results,hopefully there is a better all in one solution.
Hardware:
HTC Medialink HD - connects to the TV HDMI
Moto G
USB OTG Cable
Flash Drive
Software:
ES File Explorer (to connect to the USB OTG (navigate to Storage/usbdisk_1.1.1)
Gallery Connect: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.galleryconnect.ads
This actually is the only app that reliably and consistently actually manages to display my pictures onto the TV. Sadly it only does pictures.
Nexus Media Importer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
Same people as Gallery Connect, this works really well for USB OTG as it auto detects when you insert your usb drive, sadly I'm not sure if it's an Android limitation or a HTC Media Link problem, but if you get a file it can't display it will just show a 'receiving content' icon on the TV for ever, and you have to reboot the HTC Media link
Wi-Fi Media
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bianor.amscavium
This lets you (in theory) display your photos, videos, music etc, but you can't navigate out of the default Android folders for anything which is a drawback. What it does though, that is helpful is adds a play with Wi-Fi Media icon, so if you navigate to your files using ESFile Explorer you can sometimes stream movies over though it really depends on the codec, i'm not sure if thats Android or the wi-fi Media apps problem. It'd be really nice if you could just use the mx players ability because that plays just about anything.
I don't actually know what protocol the HTC Media Link HD uses, and I only tried it out of curiosity as it came with the wife's HTC One & isn't really meant to be used by non HTC Devices.
I've spent a few days downloading and trying pretty much every DLNA/UPNP app out there to see what would work, and there's only really those 3 that I've found, and something else called flipps HD, that plays from various video sites.
Maybe someone here would know the protocol and if there's anything else that might work better. I know given the hardware limitations of the Moto G things like Screen mirroring etc are most unlikely but it's interestesting to see what can be done.

No one ?

miracast is just disabled for some reason, i have made a small change to the framework to enable it
will post the mod in the mod / theme section soon.

BubbleUPNP (best) or Skifta (free)

wonder why they disabled miracast, I suppose it'll need root to turn back on. It would be nice if there was some way to contact Motorola to tell them to turn it on for the next update.

you don't need root, just a custom recovery to flash it

One theory I heard was that they disabled it because the phone does not have dual-band wifi.

Clearly it doesn't matter, besides they must be using some form of miracast for the moto migrate feature

This is great, I've got a Miracast receiver and I'm using it regularly. Tried flashing the zip but it results in an error during flashing since something has to be flashed to the data partition and none of the available custom recoveries for the Moto G can access encrypted data partitions. Bummer.
EDIT: It seems like the option is there now anyway I attached a screenshot. Will have to wait a couple of hours until I'm home to test if it works. I'll update this post!

I'm reluctant to possibly brick my 2 week old phone at this point, I'd much rather contact Motorola and try and get them to re-enable for their kit kat update to be honest, clearly the phone has the capability.
I have contacted Motorola directly, worst case they say no, we're no worse off, however you never know, they might just enable it.

I have not checked it out intensively but this works with my Samsung F7000. Connecting is no issue, which is pretty strange since setting up just a wifi direct connection seems impossible.
The only issue I noticed is that changing orientation does not always work.

its impossible for this to brick your phone,
and if they enable it they will just do it the exact same way i did, by changing a bool to true rather than false
all the zip does is replace framework-res.apk, with the small code change.
but if you don't know much about android / flashing its probably best you don't as not knowing what your doing
could lead to self caused problems (but not a brick)
Edit:
its probably disabled to make the phone look more lower end, as by default in the 4.2+ source code its turned on
so its clearly been disabled intentionally and not a mistake

Hitillaz, thanks for this!!!
I don't have the custom recovery set up yet, so, is it possible to use ES Explorer, or Root Explorer to just backup and replace the existing /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the one contained in your zip file??
What permissions will I need to give the replacement
looks like this should be [rw-r--r--] owner: root group: root
Would that work??
I am just waiting to decide which Recovery to use.
Thanks.

I take it ChromeCast doesnt work unless you do these steps in this thread?

Hello.
Im from chile and im using moto g with movistar_chile version.
Does anyone managed to run the "enable_miracast.zip"? because it leaves me in a bootloop with my moto g.
After looking how to do it with my firmware (i think all the framework-res.apk aren't the same between the moto g models around the world), i managed to extract my framework-res.apk and followed the guide below:
https: / / github.com/kensuke/How-to-Miracast-on-AOSP/wiki/config_enableWifiDisplay (i cant post links)
here is the path of the file to modify in the moto g: "\ res framework-res \ \ values ​​\ bools.xml"
however I am not sure if through the "apktool" tool i did it right.
First I made the Apk file with "apktool b framework-res.apk" of the folder, then I did a flash.zip of the apk, but when I flash it, it happens the same with the attachment of this topic (use the same enable_miracast.zip provided by tillaz but replacing the framework-res.pk that i built)
I'm not sure if you understand what im trying to explain.
sorry for my poor english

Can confirm this works. You can edit the build.prop any way you like, e.g. directly using Root Explorer or similar app. Search for the above mentioned line
persist.debug.wfd.enable=0 ... by default it is 0, change it for 1 and that´s it.

wifi tether, rooted & stock 4.4.2, NK3.

i felt compelled to start this new thread after rifling through the forums for a working free wifi tether for the t-mobile note 3 and coming up with a goose egg for a simple solution.
1: freeze tether provisioning
2: download CHAINS' Hot spot Control from the Play Store.
3n 1st attempt to open the app you will get a notification that settings have stopped. On 2nd attempt to open you will get nothing (no notification). on 3rd attempt the stock wifi will appear at the top notification bar where you can pull it down and configure it to 2.5 Ghz or 5 Ghz.. Easy Peezy.
4: don't forget to make the LINE DISAPPEAR.
