I use this ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/android-9-0-pie-galaxy-s5-t3831240
I changed something called "Screen dimming" in the settings (or blackout, I don't exctly know I use diffrent language on my phone) after that screen became completely black. It turns on for a short period of time after restarting the phone. How can I disable this setting? Is there a way to reset settings from PC without deleting data?

I know some of you can make a button shortcut to change the screen to landscape, however I dont have this and I know u can add it in the registry... can anyone point out where?
Thnx
RegKey is:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI
set it to 0
After !restart! you can assign a button to <RotateScreen>

go to this place
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com
and download wisebar 3 once you install it you can find setting where u can mention sortcut..
its written rotate screen. (just set execution and tick the radio box.)
for this i used dusk wisebar, (u can find in forum fo htc touch hd).
hope u got it
installing wisebar you dont even need other third party sfotware like flip it or change screen
thnx
I use Shell 3.0 so Wisebar is out of the question
HDtweak will let you enable rotate screen option, then goto settings>personal>buttons>set left key hold to rotate screen

I'm talking about the using the volume buttons as shortcuts to access Qnote and the Camera. The first time I did it I selected the A Better Camera app and it worked just fine, then I uninstalled the app later because I couldn't figure out how to change it. The next time, after uninstalling ABC, I held the volume down button it asked for another app so I selected the default camera app. Now I want to go back to ABC but I don't know how to do it. I don't know what cache settings to delete or how to get to them to reset the Shortcut keys.
Anyone know?

Thank you. That did it.
Got a new G3, the F460 with Snapdragon 805, guess straight from Korea (bought on Swappa). Minor annoyance, the lock screen shows double clock - "Local" and "Home" time, where "home" is, I guess, Seoul Korea. How do I get rid of this "Home" time there or change its time zone to elsewhere? There is nothing on it in lock screen options, time zone settings in system settings also don't affect this, nothing in "Clock" application settings... Any ideas?
I was wondering this too.

Remove the widget by long pressing it on locked screen, then you can replace it with whatever you want.
Doesn't work with that particular widget.

Right, as the user just above me wrote, it does not work. You can press it as long as you want - eventually the lock screen will timeout and go dark, but you can't remove or edit this widget in any way. Any other ideas?

Nope... it is enabled, but still can't remove or change the clock settings in any way. So seemingly simple problem and yet so difficult to solve!

Ok, try this way:
- screen is locked but it's on
- touch and hold the widget and try to pull it down like notification bar
- widget should become bigger and editable
- touch and hold the widget (now you should be able to remove it)
See my video

Thank you for trying to help, Czechu! Dzięki! Unfortunately it still does not work. I can swipe the lock screen from the left edge, and _only_then_ I get a page and widget you show on your video. However, the screen that comes up first upon turning on is different, has two digital clocks that cannot be modified in any way, cannot be swiped down - nothing...

Heh, trudno.... I'm out of ideas then. Seems like the Korean variant is a bit different than euro. Hopefully someone will have a solution for that. Maybe try some 3rd party lockscreena for the time being?

Maybe it was not supposed to go out of Korea, so home would be in Seoul forever. Thank you again!

This works perfectly. You can safely uninstall the app thereafter. It won't undo the setting. Thanks!

This guy demonstrate that how to disable roaming clock through settings which is hidden. In order to access those settings, you need to download a free app named "Quick Shortcut Maker" from playstore. I just follow his steps and i just feel happy. 100% working.
Hi all,
Have been having a play about with my DPI settings, I understand now that there by doing this it can have an adverse effect on the battery life of the phone, after having a tinker with different settings I've come to the conclusion that certain settings simply don't scale right.
The ones that I've found are OK but are just a bit out. 440 is what it is now, but I find the icons and widgets, even the text is too large..
I did have it set to 400, which I preferred but a portion of the password / pin was missing, if you go any lower than that you risk cutting off the bottom of the screen on the lock screen at least.
Please could anyone who's changed their DPI post their results here and any anomalies that might occur if else follows suit.
To alter the DPI I've been using textdroider_dpi from the play store.

If this happens go to recovery, click advanced, file manager, then go to data / system i think and delete password / pattern, whichever one it is.
reboot and you'll be able to log in without the password.

400 with the pin works, i've not tried with the pattern myself. 440 obviously works fine.
I gone thru the same issue. I think 400 cut me out of the numpad "OK", and i actually had to restore the sys image. (Didnt know about the recovery method).
Does anyone know of something that can set a per-app DPI? Can i control the DPI of the lockscreen, dialer etc separately?

Mate you don't need to reflash just open twrp, go to file manager, open data / system then delete passcode or passphrase it'll remove your code.

Yeah, but i forgot i could do that at the time. But is there any app that would work to set a different DPI for the lock screen, so I that im not limited to go anything below 400?
