Anybody running a density other than 240 or stock 320?

320 is too big and 240 is too small.
And I read using anything other than those will cause market compatibility issues ..correct?

I use 280, retains all the phone layouts. 240 was too small and made a few apps turn into tablet mode, which is more worse than better.
To fix market incompatibilities, buy:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro
and apply the market fix, works great.

I feel quite comfortable with 246 (240 was causing some layout issues).
LCD Density Modder fix is great. I had some issues with previous releases, latest one fixed everything!

Do all your apps still show up in the market? Cause the market uses your density as part of the compatibility check to see what available for your phone.

I like 260 myself. Market issues to deal with here as well... still, it's worth it if you ask me.

You can't modify your settings in stock launcher.
I'd recommend using Nova Launcher to change this (you can find it in the Themes & Apps section) change the Columns & Rows to your liking.
You can do this with any other launchers as well. Stock launcher has very limited options, so you can't change Columns & Rows.

ADWLauncher works great too. More options than nova as if now.

To anyone who doesn't feel like buying an app to fix the Market, you might try this:
1. Set your DPI to something "normal" like 240 or 320.
2. Reboot.
3. Force close the Market app (if it's running) and clear its cache+data.
4. Using Titanium Backup, freeze the "Market Updater" application.
5. Set your DPI back to whatever you want.
6. Reboot.
7. Launch the Market.
I believe that will prevent the Market from seeing you have a non-standard DPI.

Lower dpi?

I set my dpi on this phone to 240 and I LOVE it and the market still works fine so far! Just wondering how i can mod the dialer/camera to fit the 240 dpi. And also the stock keyboard dosent work but i dont care much about that i use swiftkey 3.

Shame the standard keyboard doesn't work, I really like it.
As to the dialer? hmm, probably need to get a replacement for that too, shame it doesn't scale either. Someone can probably hack the .apk to allow different dpi's perhaps?

What app did you use to change your density it would be cool to do that with this ginormous screen

Change the value for ro.sf.lcd_density in the build.prop. You can do this with apps like ROM Toolbox Pro.
I was running 240 as well, and loved it but the camera, dialer and Samsung keyboard issues bugged me enough to go back to 320.

I have mine set at 270 and everything, including dialer and camera works great.

That's the magic number? Excellent.

I love the 270 dpi but how do I or am I able to get the launcher to not be so high into the middle of the screen... Like the dots to show what page ur on is raised to the middle of the screen

use a different launcher. I use nova

So no suggestions for dialers or camera mods that fix the scaling issues. They are better at 270 but not perfect.

Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001143
it's on the Sprint Note II forum but I flashed them and they all work well.

soapbox23, what rom are you using? I am on Jexi-X4 and it doesnt work...

Found this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002960
Works very well at 240 dpi, it has most of the system apps fixed that dont scale well. Need to flash keyboard zip in the QA page though for 240 dpi.

Lock screen wallpaper

Hi,
I can't seem to change my lock screen wallpaper, trying the obvious methods. Is there a trick to it? It seems to only change to images in the wallpaper gallery, not custom ones.
Thanks

I had the same problem. Turned out it was Quickpic (gallery app) that was causing the issue. Uninstalled this and can now set lockscreen wallpapers fine.
Hope this helps.

Try clearing custum launcher defalts
Press home
Chose touchwiz once
Change walpaper
Select lockscreen and background or obe or the other
Press home chose custum launcher
Set as default

Having this problem, this seemed like a sensible thing to try, but alas, still can't change my lockscreen wallpaper.
Any other ideas?

Already figured this out.
Had to do with which app was being used to set the wallpaper
I have Jedi ROM installed and I selected to have the 4.3 Camera/Gallery additionally installed in the Aroma installer.
If I use the 4.3 Gallery app to set the Lock Screen Wallpaper it will fail. I need to use the default Samsung Gallery app to set the Lock Screen Wallpaper for it to work properly.
Interestingly, you can use either app to set home screen wallpaper.

Makes sense

[Q] How to remove the transition effect from the homescreen

Hi, is there a way to remove the transition effect between the homescreen pages ? ( (the 3Dish transition)
To revert it to the one in the appdrawer which is just a flat transition between pages?
Phone is rooted.

Dont know what u mean nor what launcher u use but in settings under development there r 3 options u can configure to turn off animation.

Basically, the Note 2 on android 4.1.2 etc.. changed the transition between homescreen pages. A while ago it was a flat transition between those pages (like now in the app drawer section). But now it is a 3D effect which tilts the pages as you scroll between them.
It doesn't get removed from those options in the Developer Section that u mentioned (tried it).
Any other ideas?

Ok but still no info on the launcher and is that eom a stock rom or custom ?

Ah sorry.
Well, it is the rom that comes with the Note 2: Touchwiz upgraded to 4.1.2 And the launcher is the stock Touchwiz launcher.
It makes this 3D effect when transitioning between the different homescreen pages.
Whereas in the appdrawer, the transition is just a simple 2D horizontal page scroll.
I hate the 3D effect in the homescreen and want to replace it with the 2D one from the appdrawer.
The phone is rooted, and I'm thinking this has to do with:
system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / anim
But I don't know where or what to change.

Ok in that case u r stuck with that effect as it has no options. If u want it removed then use another launcher. Samgsung stock launcher comes without options so u r stuck with those effects unless u change the launcher or some dev has made a mod for that.

Yes exactly, that's what I want to know; If a dev has made a certain mod for it.
Or if anyone has identified which effect file is which; in that case I can just copy/rename it to replace it. (phone is rooted)

I think u r gonna have to ask a dev to make one if he/she wants to or have time to help u out as i think u r one of the few whom cares about that. I am on stock launcher to so i can use pagebuddy but i dont care about the animation at all i just need to take quick notes.

[INFORMATORY PURPOSE] xposedGEL settings module

So guys..i know this is maybe something you all know, (as this module has also been on portal), but still if someone dont know/tried then i would recommend them this.
XposedGEL settings module..
Module which many of us always awaited for...
We can now tweak google experience launcher like hell(including icon size).
Best part is that it doesn't make icons blurr.... @ Sulaimanshariff @Parth2187 and many friends out there love using small dpi..(our dev @xenon92 provides by default 180 lets not forget , coz it looks cool..but Google experience launcher icons are blur kinda)
Many options are there..just try urself...just an informatory thread ..
