[Q] question about changing screen size - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got the Note 4 today coming from the Note 2. I rooted and put a Rom on the Note 2 (slimbean) and it made the icons, ui, everything a lot smaller. Going on the Note 4 everything is a lot larger and I can't seem to find an option to change the ui size. I don't have a comparison screen shot on me at the moment but if you Google slimbean Rom you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
Is there anyway to change it? Rooting method is acceptable.

Dpi ....

Sorry I don't know the name for this type of thing.
Here's a photo of my Note 2 with slimbean

Here's stock on the Note 4
Notice how everything is a lot wider open and smaller on the Note 2?

Is there any tutorials on how to do this? I tried to do it on ES File Explorer but the root option isn't available and I just rooted it last night

I use FX Explorer. Also get FX Root.
Open FX >System (Root)>system (click the lock at the top right to show it unlocked).
Open build.prop and click the edit icon at top right
Change ro.sf.lcd_density=640 to a lower variable. 3dot menu and Save and reboot.

This will most likely cause you to get Xposed as your phone and camera will seem fubar'd. If you want to keep it below 640 youll need to research Installing Xposed and getting the module App Settings and change certain features like phone and camera back to 640.
If you keep Xposed youll need to head back to build prop and change ro.securestorage.support=true (near the bottom) to false to get rid of laggyness. Youll also want to go to Applications Manager and go to All and find Shealth and HealthServices and delete data and reboot.

I changed it to 480 and it shifted the lock screen to the bottom left hand corner. It made everything smaller at least but I just changed it back to 640. The lock screen doesn't seem centered anymore.

Here's 360. 480 is basically the same deal.
If it wasn't for the lock keypad being down in the corner and possibly being able to make the keypad numbers bigger I'd probably keep it
Oh well

Please check the thread/guide I made last year for the note 3.
The same process apples here just some numbers change.
I will make a new thread with a guide shortly with alot more information.
For now refer to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507369
Download Xposed Framework
Download the "App Settings" module
You dont need to edit build.prop, or download Rom toolbox to do so.
Just run App Settings and change com.android.systemui DPI to 480 ( thats what I prefer)
If apps appear cropped ( like camera- com.sec.android.app.camera) change those individually to DPI 640
dp = px * 160 / dpi
640 is the "Stock DPI" within App Settings
480 is what makes the phone look "good" to me
320 is very small- think super tablet mode.
Experiment!
And remember you may need to edit/patch your google play store if you want the "tablet" version of apps to match your new dpi.
The LOCKSCREEN will not be centered if you change build.prop or the DPI of systemUI.
It may annoy you if you use fingerprint unlock..
I believe it can be addressed/ fixed but it would require recompiling/reprogramming systemUI and Im not really a programmer, just a tinkerer.
If I get time I will try to find a way to bridge that gap down the road

Thanks @chaosrecords . I've always used swipe and nothing else. Never knew of the lockscreen flaw.

Yeh. Dialer needs to be put back to 640 via Xposed via App Settings and itll fix that.

Unfortunately, it wont. Just changed it on mine and same BS for me.

I understand your anxiousness to get backto the higher resolution (lower DPI) i came from the SGS3 and Slim was my DD also. Maybe in the future something will come along, Rom or Mod.

There are some apps that are tied together with touchwiz..
Contacts/ Dialer/ recent calls for example ( any app with a tab)
The dialer on the lockscreen may also be offset though.. I use the 9 dot grid ( and now fingerprint)
The lock screen requires editing and recompiling framework...
I found a thread here. not sure if it works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473618
I will try this out later and if it works i will post a guide specific to note 4 with screenshots for all the tweaks i did..
If I can safely do it, ill find a way to post the file here as well.
I mod my phone with so many tweaks I really should just figure out how cook my own rom up... Right now Im using Bonsai- Stockish Deodex for the Note 4.. Great starting point.

That seems like a lot of work

Pin Will be centered

[APP] AOSP Messaging (quick emoji, softbank, quick reply, gestures, etc)

I am done getting back into themes or apps. I was actually kinda enjoying it again after 3 years of not doing it...but the attitudes of others (namely xda moderators and other themers and fanboys) is enough to make me puke. I will no longer support this app or any other app or theme that i have nodded for the community. I will only be doing this as a hobby for myself and will no longer share with the community.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Can you reply from the notification bar? Or a pop up box?
Both.
Quick reply has a setting that pops up a reply window. Or in notification has option under it. Hit reply and the quick reply box pops up.
Try the app. U can go back if u don't like it. It's not permanent
so if i install this on note 3 will texts still appear on my lock screen or is that feature gone?

It's off by default but you can turn on quick reply in settings and there is an option to check wake up on lockscreen. Personally I don't want my phone to wake up but if u do u can turn it on.
However the pop up won't display on tw lockscreen. It displays in notice ti on pulldown. If u unlock phone the pop up is there waiting for your response

This is based off of 8sms app available in the Play Store. I will try to update this when there is an update to the app there. I created a kit kat style MMS icon though. Other than that..no other changes were made to the base app.
Need a tester for flashing in SS. I have not tried it, but i dont see why it wouldnt work. Feedback would be appreciated if you do it.
Known Bug:
- Touching your own picture in messaging view will FC contacts (this is a TW issue not the mms app)
Safestrap method
1. Download zip. If you are on odex rom...flash...if not...you can open zip and delete SecMMS.odex.bak...then flash. (not really a must, but its in there)
2. Reboot..Open the app and go to settings. Go to mmsc settings and enter http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms See screen shot below. Don't check allow mms over wifi..VZW doesn't allow it. Only need mmsc info below for mms to work.
3. Check stand alone in settings for the app. (Important)
Non SS method (need a file manager with root access ..I use Root expolorer myself)
1. Download zip...extract the apps. Copy MMS.apk to /system/app. Change permissions to rw-r--r--. Rename your stock SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex by adding .bak on the end of both of them.
2. Reboot...Open the app and go to settings. Go to mmsc settings and enter http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms See screen shot below. Don't check allow mms over wifi..VZW doesn't allow it. Only need mmsc info below for mms to work.
3. Check stand alone in settings for the app. (Important)

Your own contact pic? This is why fc happens on tw rom because Tw contacts creates a "device" contact for yourself called me. It's not associated with Gmail. Pretty stupid but that's how they handle it
good news all! I got my sdk / java etc installed and an apktool that I am successfully decompiling and able to edit apk files...so I am going to be theming this.
Gimme some time...Been outta the theming game for about 2 years lol.
Should be able to turn this apk into something a bit better than the crappy dark theme that comes with it. lol. Stay tuned.
aight...got my apktool rockin now. Im good to go!
Havent themed a long time, but its not too bad really. V2 is up in OP...as well as a couple screen shots. Enjoy guys and girls!
Same install instructions. Its not a signed app. However...if you with to install as a normal app you CAN...just extract the MMS.apk...download zipsigner2 from play market and sign the app...then install as a normal APK. You can do that no problems...then setup MMSC the same as everyone else. If you want to use as a standalone...you can "turn off" your mms app in settings (if it will allow you to..IDK..im rooted so I go the system route for cleanliness).

all i need is google voice integration. and i am set on messaging.
OK..I didnt like the FF000000 backgrounds in message list view because the app doesnt have a message view background option when decompiled. So I changed the backgrounds to transparent so that it flows with the holo theme.
Anyway...the app looks much better IMO. I removed the previous versions and put V3 final in the OP.
I will update screenshots shortly.
EDIT:....fixing one thing first...hold tight
If you want to have a solid black background in mms download gravity box module for Xposed framework and checkblack background for the system holo and it will be all black

You need to hit the checkbox that says something about applying the settings to the widget.
My animation is off, but my clock is fine so I'll live with it.

You have said that earlier also.
I presume you are using the app ops settings in xpose.
Please provide a little more detail about the other values that you have filled up.
I have tried using a value of dpi = 530/640 and font scaling of 75/100 including checking the option to resize widgets.
But none of that worked.

I just went over this with a buddy tonight, and it came down to him not having app settings selected in the modules in xposed..
Other than that.. I'm not sure what it could be??
Are you rebooting your phone after you save the settings? It doesn't kill the widget after you hit save.. Some apps it works fine but not this widget that I've seen..
I Have android system (unchanged) and the build.prop at 530, with the clock at 640 (see attached) and my clock looks like normal on the quick circle case.
Running out of ideas if you're doing the above correctly =/

The only thing off is the white animation light.
Any luck with that?

Animation is still off for me.. Haven't figured that one out.
Let me know if you figure it out though haha
Anyway to fix the clock size on the lock screen after changing the DPI? I've changed the clock settings as listed above for fixing the clock with the quick circle, but that doesn't appear to fix the lock screen after a reboot.

Mate,
The screenshot posted by Bluerai on page 1 worked for me perfectly.
If you have modified your DPI to 530 for example, make sure you have xposed installed and app op settings installed, check marked and rebooted.
Open app op settings, look up com.lge.clock and open it up.
Modify the settings as mentioned by Bluerai on previous page screenshot. Set to 640 dpi, and check the apply res to widget also.
Then save the settings and press back button once to come back out of com.lge.clock setting page.
Then reboot your mobile and it should work.
It worked for me.
Let us know how it works.

No luck. The default circle clock remains unchanged. However, if I turn on lock screen widget and add the digital clock from that, it is scaled properly, but it's the circle clock that I want to use.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
Awesome......That worked for me.......Had to save it after applying to the widgets as well and then reboot.....Worked when everything else failed...Thanks a bunch.....
What I did was I only set LGHomelauncher in App Settings to 530. Then I used G3 tweak box to change the app drawer grid and navigation bar size.
makes the launcher look better but everything else works fine.
i also used app settings to change my most used apps like browser, FB, etc..
What app do you all use??? Ops settings? I cant find it on the market and on google first thing that pops up is this thread... I already changed the dpi with system file edit but I have a quickcircle case and its no where close to fitting. Just need the name of the app thanks
EDIT: Nvm found it
Is there still no solution for the scale of the lighting ring of the circle case when changing the system DPI?
I love my circle case (especially with the great Quick Circle Apps from the play store!) and the lighting animation is just awesome, but the system default DPI of 640 is just unuseable
I tried sevaral configurations and googled a lot but in every case there is something that is not perfect. Is it really true that the scale of the lighting ring depends on the systemUI DPI?
What I've tried: (used apps: textdroider_dpi, app settings from xposed framework)
Scenario 1: Set DPI to 530 with textdroider_dpi and clock / quick circle apps DPI with app settings to default 640
In this scenario the system is great, even the apps of the quick circle case fits perfectly - only the lighting animation is not correct (so small)
Scenario 2: Keep default DPI of 640 for the system, but change the DPI settings of my mostly used apps (like whatsapp, homescreen, launcher) to 530
Here the animation and apps are ok, but some important things like the notification bar is still too big. Also you need to change the DPI of every single app to 530 via app settings, which is really annoying.
Did nobody find out where this specific setting could be changed? For me scenario 1 would be perfect if the scale of lighting animation suited.
Another great idea which I read about in another topic: What abound changing the color of the animation from white to a color of your choice? I love customizing my phone so this would be great as well. Unfortunately I am only a web developer and I'm not really familiar with the android system, otherwise I would try to find a solution in the system on my own

But to one has a working solution for the closing animation (lighting ring) with a customized system DPI?

can you change the colour/theme of the Messaging app background

Hi all wonder if anybody could help
I have recently purchased the lg g3 and noticed you can customise it quiet a bit, iv managed to change my screensaver to a nice black default LG one and also change the keyboard colour to black as I have a black case on the phone and it all works well.
Now what I want to know is: when you click the messaging app and it lists all the people/texts you have received etc, it has a white background doesn't it, but also when you click on each received message in the convo the background is also white.
isit possible to change this white background at all?

See. i did it just for the hell of it.
ah ok, so I have to root the phone to change that orange bit,
how come the phone allows you to change the keyboard colour etc and themes but wont allow you to change that horrible orange bit without root? weird
ok is their a way to root the phone but so it doesn't change any counters, warrantys, timers, or stops me getting OTA updates etc as I don't want to change any of that
Use another messaging app.

Small navbar mod

Hello. There is someone who can do mod reducing navbar?
I too would like this but hopefully without root since I'm on Verizon and I don't we'll ever get root

Does changing the display size help with it? Ignorant that they don't auto hide like my g3 and g4 did. They do while in the camera

The display size helps yeah.
I would also love this but pretty sure it will require root as the navbar is controlled through systemui.apk and any edits to that require root

Could we not use adb to somehow hide them? I know on some phones, for example, the s8 is capable of hiding it through adb. Just a thought...
OK where is it?

As you can see I've hidden the nav bar. After 3 second the nav bar goes away. The app does not fill now of the screen. But there's a section to swipe up on to reveal the nav bar again. That's best I've found. See attached screen shots for examples.

Here you are. There is much that can be done with it for free. But truly test drive it and IMO buy the pro. It's well worth it. Changing activation area size and color made me really like it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive

@op don't mean to stray from original question of navigation bar. Just sharing.
GMD Auto hide Soft keys, but u need root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=de
By setting the Display Size too small under Settings, the navbar can be smaller than default.
But I have another question, I'd like to use clear themes so the whole system UI is clear (not dark or black), but I'd like also whatever clear theme I use, to keep the navbar ALWAYS black, which isn't the case with all the clear themes I've tried.
Some apps follow the on screen app color to make the navbar the same color, but some apps such as xda labs, quickpic, imdb etc. just won't follow and therefore, the navbar remains white or clear (if a clear theme is applied).
I've tried quite a bunch of navbar apps from PlayStore, couldn't find one that would suit my needs, and I don't want to try Substratum app/themes on the G6, cause I've had some "bad" experiences on my previous phones.
So do you guys know if there's a way to mod this?
Thanks and have a nice day.
Interesting question, I'm with you on making the navigation bar (shorter I guess) does anybody know of a way to get fully immersive? I always liked our controls and having something on the screen I don't always need kinda bugs me a little

here use this app, just follow the instructions and check immersive nav bar to autohide it when not using.

Full Bezel option missing on new Android 10 update as always.

And, non of the previous method on Android Pie works to bring it back. Seems the activity that is used to enable this itself has been removed from the Android 10 cause I can't find any through Nova Launcher. Do share if anybody has managed to enable or disable the full bezel in Android 10.

So is it buried somewhere deep in Settings or straight up absent?

Absent, you have to use software from a 3rd party to enable it, i use the Nova Launcher method on Android 9, it will be a shame it that no longer works as well.
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
1. Install Nova Launcher (you don't have to use it, just install it)
2. Tap And hold on home screen and go to widgets
3. Chose Nova Launcher - Activities and place it on home screen
4. Scroll Down until you find settings and open it
5. Now scroll all the way down until you see Status bar style (.settings$NotchSettingsActivity)
6. Select it

That's some process. Tough luck
I assume you've tried Nacho Notch. Doesn't work?
I was having the same issue with my repaired Nokia 8.1 (flashed with clean Android 10). And the Nova Launcher option was not working anymore (setting not available). A Google session found this thread and the solution there works for me:
Simply download 'settings database editor' from the play store and alter the 'notchfullbezel' setting. I have a UK TA-1128 and it works perfectly for me
Just change the option notch_full_bezel from 1 (black background) to 0 (your wallpaper) and there the notch is.
