DPI

Any way to change the dpi on tw roms these days? Love tw but what a waste of a large screen!

Search xposed installer/apk.
Rootboxed

Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

And prevents you from installing most apps once changed from default.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning

[FRAMEWORK] Change extra settings on the LG G2 (Sprint)

I wanted to switch my bottom buttons to the familiar HTC order, "Home, Menu, Back" but LG does not offer this option. While finding a solution, I found a pretty cool program that most probably already know about, but some might not. It allows you to do what I needed to do, plus much more.
CREDIT: First and foremost, all credit goes to rovo89 and his thread located here. Be sure to send him "thanks."
Step 1: Goto the Google Play Store and download, "G2 Xposed" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.xposedlgg2).
Step 2: Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it.
Step 3: Launch the Xposed Installer.
Step 4: Go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update."
Step 5: Reboot
Step 6: Launch the Xposed Installer again and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet).
Step 7: Enable the LG G2 module by checking the checkbox.
Step 8: Reboot.
Step 9: Enjoy.

Works great! I've been hearing a lot about xposed but never knew where to find it or if it would work properly with the ls980. Thanks a bunch! I finally have my recents key again!

Already have Xposed installed using the G2 module listed in the OP. Its great being able to get rid of the volume slider and the Quick Settings bar that take so much of the notification window real estate.

Awesome thanks for this.

Does anyone know if this plays nice with XBlast Tools?

Messing around with it - cool options so far.
What if I want to remove all changes and go back to stock look? Do I just uncheck the module?

When I installed this I started to get some lag on my phone. Uninstalling it made it go away. Anyone else experience this?

Nope. Zero lag for me. It must be something else on your phone.

Does this only effect the default launcher or can it be used on top of other launchers such as Nova?

This is absolutely perfect. With the G2 Module and GravityBox Module, it feels pretty close to PA or AOKP.

It seems to work just fine with any launcher. I'm using it with Aviate right now.

The changes are made to the system files. Completely independent of the launcher.

The only time my nav and status bar change colors is when I'm in an app. When I'm on the home screen they both are black.

I might ad I am using spring LS980 also how do I remove the gap after making the nav bar smaller see attached photo I am rather OCD and this drives me NUTS

This. I can't seem to get rid of the gap in the launcher. It's pretty noticeable with nav bar height at 30 percent haha

So are y'all confirming Xposed works on stock rooted phones?
I didn't think stock kerenels came with init'd enabled.

[Q] Resize widgets with stock launcher

Is there any way to resize any widget like CM does with the stock launcher w/Xposed and Gravitybox?

You can resize widgets without any app/hack/whatever on stock launcher on Android.
Just hold the widget and you should be able to resize it by puhing the sides or the top/bottom frames.

That's a negative.
For example, the Pandora widget can be stretched the full width of the screen in CM. I can't do it on the stock launcher.
I'm running 4.4.2 btw.

Yes. The latest version of Gravity Box allows you to resize ANY widget. I've done this with a couple (like sound search widget) that can't normally be resized. :victory:
In the future, please post questions in the Q&A forum. :good:

No worries. It should be under Launcher Tweaks. It's under the section where you can customize the icon grid layout.

By looking at the colors of your icons on top, I take it you don't have KitKat on your N7? Maybe Android 4.3? If so, it looks like you have the wrong version of Gravity Box. You need the one with JB at the end (for Jelly Bean) and not the one with KK (for KitKat). That could be why. I'm on 4.4.2 on my N5 and N7, and both have Launcher Tweaks under where it says Media Tweaks.

Oh. My bad. I kind of thought that could've been the case, but just wanted to make sure. That's weird because mine has it. Are you running the "Google Experience Launcher" (or I guess now known as "Google Home Launcher")? I've attached the screenshot of what mine looks like.

Oh. My bad. I always think of the Google Now Launcher as the stock launcher since it's stock on my N5, and also installed on my N7. I think it may only work with the Google Now Launcher. I would think that it would still give you the option to change it, and just not change anything if it weren't compatible. Sorry. I feel like I foolishly got your hopes up. You should give the Google Now Launcher a try. It works perfectly on the N7. :thumbup:

Most widgets you can re size but there are still a lot you can't and would need some sort of launcher like nova to resize everything

Yeah, Go is bloated. Nova is awesome. Also, if you are using Gosmspro, try Chomps instead.

Good to see they brought the app drawer back. Did they also bring back the ability to re-arrange your home screens? That was a bigger annoyance to me and the main reason I installed another launcher.

Is there anything compelling here that would make it worth using over Nova?
