I have the galaxy s4 with the google play edition rom. Everything was fine for 2 weeks until this weird bug. The first day I installed the rom I have noticed that the icons looked too big. I fixed that by setting the dpi to my phones actual dpi (441). After that the fix worked and everything was perfect. All of the sudden, today... I noticed my widgets have shrank soo much in size, and my icons got very big. I did a factory data reset, it looked good again, my dpi was at 441 deafult, then everything shrank again. Is this a google setting that is backed up or something?
UPDATE: I wiped everything and installed virgin rom (4.4.2) and the widgets do the same ****. I noticed this does not happen if I choose not to log into google account after flash. How do I clear my default settings if they're backed up on google?

Im useing the Density Hack in build.prop.
Since i made a fresh Install today, all Apps, for example Navigation applications and so on are running in a small window in the middle of the screen, the scale isnt working anymore.
Months ago i had the same Problem when i tried the hack for the first time, but one Day the Problem disappeared and all apps scale fine to Full Screen with the hack.
And now, the Problem is back again ... :-( I dont know why ... but there must be a setting - but which?
Anyone out there who can help me ?
------------------------------------
Solution:
Dont use the Compatibility Mode for older Apps and the scale works with all Apps - perfect! One easy and fast way to do this ... check the App Spare Parts.
Hi folks,
So I recently flashed a newer version of MikG, restored all of my system data and my lock screen quick access icons (you know, camera, mail, phone, messages) disappeared. So then I reflashed the newest version, and only restored a very few system data things, and everything seemed gravy, the lock screen icons stayed and it was all good.
Now today I went to change the lock screen, picked the photo one, and it wouldn't show the photos (but I was wondering if that's just because I have 1000+ photos in the album), and also it wouldn't show the lock screens. So I tried to just go back to the clock one - and the icons were gone there too. And then I tried to just go back to the basic wallpaper one - and no icons there either. What the hell is going on?
I really like having those quick access icons, it's pretty nifty, but I don't know that I feel like reflashing it and restoring all of my apps again. Quite frustrated, any ideas/suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated. Thanks!

i really dont have a good answer for you but being a mikg user as my only rom since ive gotten my evo i can tell u that they recommend not restoring any data at all and to wipe everything using amon ra recovery...might want to go and check out themikmik.com theres lots of people there that might have a good answer for you
JB Market not showing me all my installed apps and not showing other app eligible for download or don’t pull up when searching market. Like facebook
Anyone?
Did you change the screen DPI or are using a MOD with a smaller Navbar?
Normally run 260..But I set it back to 320 every now and than to check for updates. and even at 320 apps dont show.Even after rebooting and clearing the Goodgle Play data and cache. No nav mods.. I was running JellyBelly 3.7. I love the JB roms but hate side loading apks to get the apps I want
When I first setup the rom (320dpi) apps show on the market..And after a few days my Installed apps in google play count gets lower and lower (260dpi). Which is fine ,if when i went back to 320 those apps would come back and if i could download apps they were not compatiable at 260 at 320...Wish LCD Modder Pro would get updated then I'd be fine.
HTC One M8 running ViperOneM8 4.3.0. I accidentally clicked on easy mode under home screen settings which set my font to large. Changed the font back to medium yet the font for quick settings is still ridiculously big, it has also reset all the reordering I had done with quick settings and seems to have gotten rid of my ability to customise it. Any fixes?

WTF? I've never seen that one before.
Of course, dirty flashing the ROM would fix it. But the "android is updating" on Lolly/ART takes FOREVER!
That's one solution. I'll try to recreate the problem on my device. If I can recreate it, I'll be back with another solution. Maybe. lol It might be a dirty flash for me as well.
I use Nova launcher as home screen app, just so you know. I fixed this problem by going into settings, searching home screen, and after that change your default home screen app. Go check if it worked/changed anything and now you can change it back.
This worked for me, hope it does for you guys too.
Hey guys. For some strange reason i can no longer change my lockscreen wallpaper or the clock? I can make changes to the homescreen without any issues but it seems as if the lockscreen is defaulting to whatever i have on the homescreen!! If i go into themes and edit my current theme, the options are there and it appears to work fine in the sense that i can choose a lockscreen wallpaper and it says "wallpaper applied" and even shows as changed within the theme but it changes nothing! The only thing i can change on the lockscreen is the icons! This seems a bit odd given that i have gone through all the htc related apps and none have been updated nor have any changes been made! A reboot also was of no help nor was clearing the cache!
My flashlight no longer works either (although i never really used it so its possible it was like this since new) In order for it to work i have to open the camera app and close it each time i want to use the flashlight!!
Anyone any ideas?? More annoyed about the lockscreen issue then the flashlight
Anyone ??
anybody any idea?

Honestly I've never had those issues and also don't remember reading about them. Something is borked on your phone. Done any mods? Might be time for a wipe.

Hello
Try wiping data and cache of HTC sense from setting, that might help you,
If that does not help try doing the factory reset, if the phone is completely stock
Backup before you do it, as factory reset will erase everything from the Phone including internal SD card
