Hi, your gyroscope may not levelled or paralleled along horizontal.
Please try to calibrate it.
Gyroscope calibration is located inside advance setting.
IMO, if your gyroscope is levelled 45 degree along horizontal your quick glance will activated only if your phone is angled 45 degree along horizontal also. BTW, you can use the quick glance while holding it, other user think it will not work but actually their gyroscope is just not levelled along horizontal.
If you think I helped you, please pay it forward.
With any kind of favour,
many times as you like.
Until your spirit bright sparklingly.
Hi, I done a few searches for this, but couldn't find an answer. The Note 10.1 2014 along with the Nexus 10 (both 2500x1600) leave borders when connected to a 1080p TV/monitor via HDMI. This (at least to my understanding) is because they are outputting at a ratio of 16:10 where HD is 16:9. Is there a way to solve this without using some sort of zoom/cropping on the TV side? My guess is the only way to get a perfect image is to have the tablet send a 1080p signal and probably create borders on the tablet as they only allow mirroring. On the plus side this would allow them to run smoother as they would be pushing far fewer pixels.
I've not used Miracast, but am assuming it would suffer from the same problem?
Any info/help would be appreciated, thanks!
Trust my brain to kick-in "after" the last moment and think about searching for a resolution changer!
I found this:

I've not read it all, but seems to be what I was looking for although it requires a root which I don't really want to do just yet!

Anyone tested this , or found a non root solution.
I have the same issue with allshare cast
I wouldn't try the resolution changer or script thing if I were you. Apparently it doesn't like our device even when rooted. Someone a while back posted a thread which basically rendered the device useless because of the resolution changer and he had to flash stock firmware again or something to get it back to normal. I have the same issue with the black bars thing when using MHL and I couldn't find a solution for it anywhere for this device.
Thanks C2Q, guest we just have to sit tight and wait for updates. Devices with a resolution of 2500x1600 should be at the top of their lists especially considering the significant performance increases you could expect from dropping the resolution to 1920x1080.

I tried the 1920x1080 and got stuck in a bootloop To fix it I had to use adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.setting*s/databases/settings.db from TWRP, open the DB in SQLite, remove the 'freeze resolution' entries in the table and push it back. It was a good learning exercise but I don't want to do it again !
Thanks for the warning. That would definitely had been the first thing I would have tried after rooting. I'm sure you've saved few of us.
Hey guys.
I'm quite desperate here.
I have a rooted LG G3s and recently I tried to change the DPI without really knowing what I did. I used texdroider and changed to around 640 dpi.. which is way to high for the actual phone. Now I can't enter my phone because the screen is to big.. and it only shows the upper top of the screen?
what can I do? I'm not really good at programming and commands.. So a walktrough would be very much appreciated..
Kind regards
Nekodemus
Pull the build.prop via adb, edit it manually to any value above 540 and then push the file back with the correct permissions and you'll be good.
If you don't know how to do the above a quick Google search will help you out- I'm commuting at the moment so I'm afraid I can't be anymore help!

Now with that out of the way, hello! Welcome to my first guide-thingy. As it is my first, I apologise if there is a mistake or if I have left something out, but this process is exactly the process I have used.
Recently I've had a few people ask me about changing their phone's resolution and DPI as said in my signature, so I thought I'd write up a guide for people to use! The ROM I've done this on is the BlissPop AOSP ROM but the process should be similar for most if not all other Custom AOSP-Based ROMs. I am UNSURE if this process works on the stock ROM or any stock-based ROMs.
Prerequisites:
- Root access
- Root File Manager & Explorer (Such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer)
* Root Browser: https://tinyurl.com/aytbttu
*ES File Explorer: https://tinyurl.com/cd4u27q
- NOMone Resolution Changer
* https://tinyurl.com/kjg63jn
- OPTIONAL (For Multi-DPI Patch) Latest AROMA (Now known as Open) GApps Package
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071
Lets get started!
Firstly, the Multi DPI Patch. It's not essential but allows apps to be properly resized to match your custom DPI, and in the latest Google Apps package it has an option when installing to install a multi-DPI patch for people who are using custom resolutions on their phone. Like me, I'm not using 2560x1440 (Stock 1440p resolution) I'm using 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution @ 370 DPI.
Changing your Resolution & DPI
1. Download NoMone Resolution Changer from the Play Store above (It's free) and grant root access
2a. Open a root file manager (Like Root Browser or ES File Explorer (You have to enable root-access for ES) ) and navigate to the /system folder on internal storage. Find your build.prop at the bottom. Now, you're going to want to create a backup of this file before we do anything as it defines how things work on the phone, so create a copy and move it somewhere safe from being wiped (Like an external SD card)
2b. Click on build.prop and open with a root file browser
2c. Find the line under the #ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section that says ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx and change 560 (default DPI) to something like 430 if you want the font and stuff to stay the same size or 370 to make it smaller and hit save, grant root-save access if required. Then, open the file with another file manager to verify it's saved and changed. Adjust the DPI to something that you like, but be cautious as not all DPIs work properly (I only know of 370 & 430 that have worked for me). This step may vary depending on how your ROM sets out your build.prop.
3. Set your desired resolution in NOMone Resolution Changer (Mine is 1080x1920, remember to do it backwards so 1080x1920 not 1920x1080 otherwise your phone's GUI will be landscape and not portrait, and will go off the screen)
3b. Set your desired DPI to match the DPI you put into your build.prop file and hit apply (Grant root access if requested). The app will apply your settings and change your screen to match the new settings. It will then prompt you if you'd like to keep these settings, hit yes or no. If you hit yes, it will give you an option to change back the settings after a minute so you can see what the phone looks like at that setting.
*This next step only applies if your ROM has an option to manage the DPI setting itself, like BlissPop does, otherwise skip it*
4. After you've applied your custom resolution and DPI, go to Settings (Yes everything will be massive-sized don't worry) -> Display & Lights -> Scroll down to the bottom, hit advanced Display Settings, and change the LCD Density DPI to match the one you set in your build.prop and NOMone app.
5. Hit yes to reboot or reboot your phone if not prompted.
6. You're done! Your phone should reboot and apply your new resolution and DPI changes.
I have attached some screenshots showing off the BlissPop & Facebook UI at 1920x1080 Resolution & 370 DPI, as well as an example change in the NOMone Resolution Changer App. Lowering the Resolution and DPI is beneficial to those who want to squeeze more stuff onto their screen (it enables lots more text on the screen that isn't really big.) As well as gamers (The lower resolution doesn't strain the GPU as hard.)
If you have any issues, just delete the build.prop you edited from the /system folder in TWRP and copy over the original one you backed up and put it in the /system folder.
Known issues caused by this guide:
- Boot animation may stretch when booting.
- Recent app previews will also be larger for some unknown reason, this is a small side effect however.
Hope this helped!
Now ...again...me....you forgot to mention borked gigantic recents and borked bootanimation on boot.....you should add it to issues list...IMHO

I've used this application to lower resolution on my G3 to 1080p but found that the small text and other stuff was blurred because it's disproportionate to the amount of pixels, since 720p would be a more accurate number to downscale to on a 1440p screen (1/2).
Do you notice this "fuzziness"? I forget exactly which DPI I set it to when I did go down to 1080p, but the other thing I realized was that the performance gain was marginal. I did not do long-term battery testing with this, though. So the verdict is still out on whether or not there is any gain there.

you might not gain much or if any juice on battery....but...performance boost is noticeable on.my side...I forgot how it feels at 1440p ...and switched to for a moment....oh gosh....why do apps take longer to open?....back to 1080p and it flies again...
Oh...you must have set too low dpi to get blury text...I don't even know how that looks like...and if you'd change it to 720p your dpi would be around 220 or something ......

I had tested both normal applications and some 3d games that sometimes bring down fps and neighter seeemd to be any better, but I will have to test this with Bliss as that was some time ago.

Hmm, you could be on to something. I need to test with your recommended DPI to see if it fixes the blurriness of small text. Thanks!

some games are badly coded...hence there's no improvement

So I used the recommended settings of 1080p and 370dpi and the blur is minimized but not completely gone. Bearable, though.
I'll be testing out some other performance things and more long-term battery savings. Thanks again for the write-up. Hopefully it will help with people willing to try out different resolutions and DPI's.

Sorry, but this is the kind of thing that cannot be shown on a software level. Screenshots will not work.
The images and text is just not as crisp because since it's not 1:1 with the pixels it will naturally display fuzzy. This is unavoidable but can be lessened by using better ratios (ideally 720p, but that would just be too low) and different DPI settings. If you do not see this yourself then you may lack the eyesight. Again, it's not very noticeable and the positives may very well be more beneficial than having a perfect 1:1 ratio.

You could try going to 1080p @ 430 DPI. This makes the text similarly sized to the default 560 DPI, only on lower resolution. If you did this, the GPU wouldn't have to work as hard, and your text would still be the original size
But yeah it's worth playing around a bit. I haven't noticed any fuzziness at all at 370 DPI, and I do a lot of reading on my phone.

If you lower the resolution on any lcd screen made for a specific resolution it will make things fuzzy. You can even do this on your computer monitor.
Everyone should expect this as it is not 1:1, but I still consider it pretty useful.

you really have to look very very very closely to notice anything IMHO
And If that was written somewhere...most people will fall under mass hysteria and take it as granted .....that's a fact....i'm enjoing my huge screen like I did before on 1440p ...it makes no difference for me and side by side comparison with my co-worker's G3 which is all Stock except rooted(by my advice)....makes no difference at all....none, 0,....he didn't notice that I changed anything except THE Beautiful Rom and pure raw power against his Stock G3...so...don't complicate to much....

Hi everybody,
I bought a portable beamer and it not have the option to rotate the vision of 180 degrees.
I need to rotate upside down the screen of my FireTV Stick. How can I do that?
Can someone help me to understand the steps to doing to achieve this result?
Thanks in advance at all to the help
Edit:
Sorry guys. If somebody with his Stick rooted can answer at this my second question. With a rooted rom image it's possible lock the rotation of the screen in upside down?
Someone can try for me?

Thanks AmznUser444 Dev but you are sure that app can solve my problem? I tried other same apps, over 4 and no one can upside down the screen.
When I set the correct orientation I need, the Stick reset the normal landscape orientation.
You have tried this app? I think is the same of others I already tried.
