[Q] Reduce display resolution to match old note 10.1 - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hello,
I have a note 10.1 and am looking to replace it with the 2014 edition, the issue I have is I have some work software on my note that only supports the old display resolution 1280*800 from memory.
Could someone here try the resolution change on the 2014 edition of the note and let me know how the device and touchwiz performs? I am hopeful my work software will be updated at some point to support newer display Resolutions but am after a new tablet in the next week or so.

Link describes how the change should work.
Thanks for any help on this,
Andy

I Dont know if this will work but it might be worth a shot:
Download Xposed framework together with App Settings. From App Settings all you have to do is change Resolution/DPI on those Apps.

Will that app work without rooting the device? Is it on the play store? Thanks for your help.

You would have to root

Any app that is able to change screen resolution or dpi will need root permissions

Thanks guys. Has anyone tried any of these apps on the tab 2014 to see how it runs with the old note 10.1 resolution? Can. Just adjust the resolution for my specific enterprise apps?

Resize it to correct resolution you need, which likely differs by how you have your wallpaper set up. ie. infinite scroll, no scroll etc.
Paint.net, GIMP, Photoshop, whatever. Not sure what app can do this on the phone itself though but I'm sure if you look you'll figure it out.
Problem is I generally set from gallery and irrespective of the Res. Of the wallpaper it always crops.
Am I missing something ? How do you set wallpapers??

Get this
Check out "Wallpaper Wizardrii" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardriI
And when you choose set, choose scale, it will set the entire image as your wallpaper
Haven found a way to do it otherwise unless image is already the exact resolution needed. This app is easy to use tho, and there are MANY others like it, check some out
If I find a way to do it from stock, gallery I'll let you know, but I dint think it's possible without cropping. Maybe try quick pic as you gallery? I think that has, ability to resize to specific resolution and set image as wallpaper but I haven't used in a while, quick pic is a great gallery app

Works no problem at all on my gnex
I JUST downloaded and used it again.
You have you screen res changed?
If you have your resolution changed that greatly affects many apps "compatibility" issues in play store
Yeah. mine is set to 280 Dpi... It affects play store app compatibility ?

What is the 'exact resolution' so that no cropping is needed? 1280x720?

Unless you have wallpaper scrolling enabled

[Q] Cascade Windows on Note II?

I was just lurking around looking for this feature on our Notes. Would love to have one on our note II and since the original Note had a mod developed enabling this feature, reckon it shouldn't be hard.
So anyone?
I think an alternative would be Multi Window Manager app

Alternative for what, mate? I have that already and it doesn't have the cascade windows option. If it does, how do you enable that?

An alternative to the link you showed for the N7000. But nevermind i just checked the developers comment and he mentioned that although the app works in the n7100, the cascaded windows is only supported on tablet ui. So its safe to assume that for the time being the only way, at the moment, to get this working is to change your UI to tablet. But if there is a better alternative i would like to know too.

How do you change the UI to tablet? Xposed Framework? Sure as hell am not flashing non TouchWiz based roms to get the feature, although I badly want this.

Download build.prop tweaker. Then change the value ro.lcd_density= 320 to 160.

This method just brings about more issues than good. Not to mention with the dpi set that low I don't know how anyone can read text on their phones.

Look there's a stock based rom here called Mini Tab it will change your ui to something similar to the Note Tab.

Yeah I'm aware of MIniTab using 10.1 interface and seriously thinking of switching to that. Though I'm a bit skeptical as for whether it'd work reasonably well, I guess I'll give it a shot anywho
Interesting thread I found here:

Not working for me though. When I change the android system resolution, still remains the same.

I'm no expert on Samsung (just got my GN3), but I was something of one on HTC devices. My guess is that you'll either have to root and hack up the build.prop file (change the DPI field) or use something like Xposed Framework and Per-App Settings to pull this off.
On my Note 1 with CM10.1 I enabled tablet mode by setting dpi to 200. That's probably too low to be easily readable on the Note 3's high DPI screen though.

Same problem, the modifications have to be done in the code of the keyboard by a developer. At the moment there are some mod but only for n7100
