[Q] dpi oops

Changed the DPI using Android Tweaker 2 from 640 to 560, and when I rebooted somehow it set to 430, which is causing constant redraws of the screen (screen goes on off constantly) - the phone boots, and I can open the app, but it only gives me about 1 second to do something, and it's too quick for me to bring the keyboard up to set a different value.
How can I restore the default DPI or set it to 560 without reinstalling my phone. Is there a way I can do it on the computer?

Yes you can do it from your computer. You will have to edit a file called build.prop.
1: You will need ADB and the LG USB drivers. If you do not already have the Android SDK set up, download this tool to get ADB. You can get the USB driver here.
2: open a CMD window in the directory ADB is installed (seems the installer for ADB can also do this for you)
3: Go into your phone's Settings > About Phone. Tap the build number several times until it has said you have enabled developer options.
4: Go back to the main settings and go into Developer Options.
5: Find the "Android Debugging" option and turn it on. Find the "Root Access" option as well and set it to "Apps and ADB".
6: Connect your phone to your computer and type "adb devices" in the command prompt window. Hopefully, it lists a device on there.
7: Type "adb pull /system/build.prop %userprofile%\Documents"
8: Go to your computer's documents folder and open build.prop in your choice of file editor (Notepad works, but I wouldn't recommend it...)
9: Find the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" in build.prop. Change this to the number you want (540 or 640). Save the file.
10: Go back to the CMD window and type "adb push %userprofile%\Documents\build.prop /system/build.prop"
11: Reboot your phone. If all went well, your screen should be back to normal.

I can't seem to find Android Debugging or Root Access (I can only see USB Debugging which is enabled)
Also after typing "adb devices" in CMD, it lists mine but says offline.

USB Debugging will be the same thing.
Try typing "adb kill-server" and then "adb devices" again. Also try using a different USB port on your computer.

[HOW TO] Use G Watch R faces on Moto 360

I liked a few of the watch faces, but didn't like the watch overall. I took things into my own hands.
These instructions are SUPER simple, assuming you have the SDK installed and you know basic ADB commands, if you DON'T know what either SDK & ADB are please DON'T attempt this...I am NOT responsible if you brick your device!!!
On Watch
1.Enable Developer Mode by going into Settings -> About -> Tap 7 times on “Build Number” to become a developer
2. Open Developer Options and turn on ADB debugging & Bluetooth debugging
On Phone
1. Go to Android Wear App.
2. Touch Gear on upper right.
3. Toggle on Debugging over Bluetooth
4. Connect to computer via USB cable & enable USB Debugging on phone
On Computer - use ./ in front of adb commands if using a mac
1.Open a cmd/terminal
2. adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub
3. adb connect localhost:4444" Wear app should now say target & host connected
4. adb devices your Android Wear will be the localhost:4444
7. adb -s localhost:4444 install nameofapp.apk
8. wait until you see success, don’t close cmd/terminal
9. Done with computer for now
10. If you want to uninstall an APK run adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall nameofapp.apk
11. ?!?!?!
12. PROFIT!!!

How did you like it?

Do you have watchfaces from other watches such as the new Urbane or the Zenwatch?

I´m trying to remove the watch faces (since they are not centered on the 360 screen) and getting the following error:
./adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall Lge3DOceanWatchface.apk
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: NVM, solved using adb shell.

Can you ellaborate? I'm getting the same error and I can't seem to sort it out.
It's a pity they're not centered, they look really nice. Would have been great if they had worked.

Has any one got the red underline spell check working on their note 4 at&t varient ?
I have been doing some research and I think I have nerrowed down the issue just need some one who has spell check currently working on their device.
If you have then please do reply, it would be best if you have 6.0.1 update but I think android veraion wont matter at all.
:good:

Managed to fix it via ADB
- turn on developer options
- turn on usb debugging
- on your PC downlolad and install minimal adb and fastboot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790 )
- connect your device via usb to your PC, wait 2 minutes until adb drivers have been installed
- run the installed adb link in your start menu, a cmd window opens op
- enter: adb shell
- enter: settings put secure spell_checker_enabled 1
- close cmd, disconnect phone, spell checking is enabled

Hello, I followed your mentioned steps but in my drivers its showing "Samsung Android Device" is that okay for my asus zenfone max pro m1 device? Or there is one portable device option, is that it?

Hi guys, specially opened an account because of this issue. I am unable to run the fastboot devices command even after following all the aforementioned steps. Phone screen turns black and a message appears on the top left stating "press any key to shutdown", while the fastboot devices command gives a "??????? fastboot" response on my PC. PLEASE HELP!

After I completed all the steps, my phone showed on screen "press any key to shutdown" and even in device manager it shows android ADB interface as hidden. Help please. Rebooting again to fastboot mode doesn't help because it shows the same screen "press any key to shutdown" on reconnecting with PC.

May Asus x01bd can't in to the mode fastboot..how to solved it?

Well i learned this from somewhere but actually you need to turn off the secure boot in your PC from the BIOS. That's what helped me do it

Well you know how there's a BIOS in your PC which contains the basic commands required to run a computer. There is a setting called secure boot inside your BIOS. You need to turn it off and then install fastboot tools. To open the BIOS, repeatedly press F10 or F8 on your computer while it is opening. This is how it worked for me atleast

scrcpy issues

Hello xda'ers
I have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, however I want to use the scrcpy github . com / Genymobile / scrcpy utility it says it cannot detect the phone.
ADB Setup and its drivers have been correctly installed.
USB debugging has been enabled in the phone.
But the ADB cannot detect the phone.
It still is not working, so I went into the phone, developer options and go to USB Debugging, Security settings, and toggle that on, but it asks for a Mi Account?, which I do not have.
Please help.

Might as well sign up for that Mi account, because you need the (security settings) toggle turned on if you want to control the device via scrcpy. What does it tell you when you enter the command adb devices ? Did you get the popup asking for confirmation on whether you want to allow the PC to access debugging when you connected the phone via USB? Also make sure MTP/PTP/whatever else isn't turned on.

It's odd, executing adb devices gave an unauthorized message on the computer console, but the security confirmation never appeared on the phone up until some hours ago. I authorized the connection and voila I can now see the phone's screen on desktop PC via scrcpy, however.....
The screen just freezes, I mean, I cannot interact with it on the computer. If I unblock the phone manually and interact with it, the screen refreshes properly on the desktop, alas this is an issue with scrcpy not with the phone or ADB. Maybe I should file a bug or search their site?

Again, you have to enable the (security settings) toggle in your developer options if you want to control your device from the computer. This is mentioned on the Readme on scrcpy GitHub already.

Found solution:
1. Enable USB debugging
2. Run any terminal as root
3. setprop persist.security.adbinput 1
. That's all, nothing else is required
