[Q] Recent Apps wrong size - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, I haven't found this posted anywhere, but does anyone else experience this bug? It's been here for every iteration of CM7 I've tried (and I've virtually flashed every nightly and went through several wipes over the course of the last few months, big props to the team)
The Recent Apps window occasionally is too small, but sometimes it works! I've turned off compatibility mode. It seems to happen often with landscape mode.

Again, it doesn't happen every time, just sometimes.

There's a thread somewhere regarding LCD density....Search it. If I was at my puter I could post the link but im on my phone.

So here's the deal with that.
It's a thing CM7'ers are stuck with.
If you change to 160 dpi, it will fix it. Assuming you're running the latest market and maps, 160 should be okay.
A solution most of us have done is install Recent Apps Plus and starting from step 1, replaced the default recent apps. I like it more with the volume control and all
To change to 160 if you want, go to system/build.prop w/root explorer or the like and change the line that is about halfway down from 161 to 160, and that will fix it.
You could also try turning off compatibility mode in settings >applications >development, but I've had limited success with that and the recent apps popup.

I'm currently using ' More Recent' to get around this problem. Its simple and so far has worked without any problems: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.britoso.morerecent&feature=search_result

What can I do to fix this? Restarting the phone always fixes it (although that's not really a "solution" per se), sometimes restarting the phone app fixes it. Sometimes the keypad is there, but is up and to the right (off the edge of the screen, covering the leftmost side of the list of calls).
i think i had the same problem. try changing to landscape and back to normal.

My phone dialer doesn't rotate...
Yes, annoying this. I got the problem the other day then things went back to normal after a soft boot. I am aware that rotating the app does fix the problem (until the next time) but have never tried it.
To get your phone app to rotate, install BSB Tweaks. Once done select the phone app as an item to be rotated which should give you what you are looking for.

Thanks, this fixed it!
Wondering if there's been a better solution uncovered to this than "rotate the phone". That's not very fluid since the phone tends to rotate/unrotate in call and the keypad disappears again, making using menu options in voicemail (for example) much more of a pain than it needs to be.
Don't even understand how this is a problem, given that my TP2 had the same dialler and had no problems...
Bump ...
No chance for a response here...?

It'll auto-configure on first boot.
BTW, the dialpad issue has been fixed for at least two months now - there's a dll or a cab floating around somewhere

Would really like to find these...searching the forums yields nothing...
Still hoping for a reply...
Try overwriting the dll posted by fards with total commander or resco. Using wm 6.5 myself so haven.t tested.

I've noticed the exact same issue - I've even joined their beta program thinking that maybe they have already fixed the issue in beta (they didn't, it still exists). No real work around that I've found.

Thanks fort the response!
I made a new clean install and now it's working fine again.
I think it had something to do with immersive mode.
?? (wish they had a male version) I didn't even think to do that. Funny how you get ahead of yourself sometimes trying to find a complex solution... I'll give that a try.

Did it work for you?
After a while my prone started doing the same thing..
Still havent found any solution
I noticed the exact same thing. Initially it seemed fine, but it's gone back to needing to scroll to the bottom to see the latest message. I've tried using both swiftkey and Swype keyboards with the same result.
Strange.
Well maby a new update will fix this in the future, i hope sooner than later though..
I also have a problem with playing a video from the chat screen.
When i receive a video and download it, i cant play the file straight from the chat screen.
If i go back and reopen the chat then press the video it does play.
I is a little annoying when i receive a video, i have to close the chat, reopen it and then be able to play the video.

Fresh Nougat install very laggy

Hey guys
I installed Nougat the other day and it was extremely laggy, for example it would take about 5+ seconds to unlock the screen after a successful fingerprint read. This evening I decided to do a completely fresh install to see if it could have been some old files from 6.0 causing it. Unfortunately not. The lag has returned again.
Even pulling down the notification drawer is very laggy. It's almost as if the phone is trying really hard to do something and doesn't have enough resources to do what I'm asking.
So my question is, what should I do? Is this a known problem? I don't really want to downgrade back to Marshmallow.
I did try and search around on these forums and a general Google search but nothing really came up.
Thanks!
This seems to be getting worse. Feels like the CPU is constantly maxed out.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I really don't want to wipe my phone again to downgrade back to Marshmallow but I might have to because it's rendering the phone almost unusable.
For reference I'm on NRD90U
Here is a screenshot of the battery stats:

Hi !
Actually i have the same issue with my 6P on a clean install too and i'm very regarding concerning the smoothness of a phone (and that why I sell my galaxy s6 for the 6P).
Before nougat, i had the jgcaap CM rom, and it was always buttery smooth !
Now with nougat, just pulling down the notification drawer struggle too, and don't feel like before. I can definitely feel some lag in scrolling in instagram or even the app drawer..
I think i'm going to roll back to CM 13, and wait for CM 14
Mine is smooth. No lag at all.
Maybe a rogue app ?
Any way to easily see what app could be causing it other than removing all third party apps?
You could try Cool Tool and have all displayed labels: CPU usage, frequency, Ram and Most Ressource-intensive process checked.
If it's CPU bound then you might find the process. If it's IO bound then you won't find the process.
If rooted, you could also check logcat, dmesg.
Or reboot in safe mode.
Last would be to factory reset to make sure it's not a hardware fault. And do not restore apps immediately..
Try rebooting to safe mode to see if the problem goes away...

I've been on Nougat about a week and it's been very smooth for more with the exception of a few apps that I had to clear data for to get working properly. I restored some of them with Titanium Backup so I'm sure that caused the issue. Nougat itself has been very smooth and responsive though.
So it turns out that Tune In Pro radio app was the culprit. I used to use it as an alarm, but I noticed that as soon as I set the alarm on it, the phone started lagging. Thanks for everyone's help! Much appreciated!

Has anyone seen Nougat 7.1.1 / 32.4.A.0.160 yet ?

As promised here: https://www.xda-developers.com/sonys-xperia-z3-z4-tablet-and-z5-series-get-updated-to-android-7-1-1/
yes, it is already running on my Xperia Z5 P. just today installed, testing it!
So far so good, improve performance.

Apart from all the circular icons everywhere?
They do however not appear to support long press on icons on the homescreens (on 7.1 they should produce a submenu)

The quick settings panel now shows 6 settings instead of 5, and the settings gear-icon now shows without expanding the panel entirely.
Did you get this as an OTA?
I have seen nothing yet ...
I have had it for a week or so. My tablet now runs very sluggish and needs rebooting several times a day to free it up.
Reports from others are a bit thin on the ground. So I shall wait a while and see what happens but this is not acceptable so far.
Mine was running sluggish too (no upgrade) the last few days - especially the touchscreen, I tried clearing the cache from a number of apps ... no real change. I rebooted into safe mode - and it seemed to run OK - I then made a simple reboot ... some unexplained changes to launcher and keyboard then seen ... but once I changed those back to my preferred ones, it seems to be running OK again now. I guess there was "something" running in the background hogging all of the processing power.

What's the deal with Android 10?

Hopefully someone, possibly a dev, can clear this up. I've been wondering this ever since the first A10 custom rom came out for the X00TD: Why do all A10 roms suffer from the following problems? I remember testing more than a dozen different ROMs and all of them suffered the same issues. Issues that weren't present on stock, mind you.
Issues that I noticed:
1. Mic quality was consistently all-around abysmal. Even if you amplified the mic volume through custom kernel settings, the horrible quality would still remain. I found that the fix to this problem was to download the ASUS Sound Recorder app that comes with the stock ROM. Simply having the app installed fixed all the mic issues. To this day, I still don't know why. This isn't the main point of the thread but I would appreciate it if someone has, at least, a theory.
2. GPS was absolutely horrible. Time to first 3D fix in clear weather with no obstructions took roughly a minute and a half (tested with the GPS Test app). Sometimes shorter, sometimes MUCH longer but consistently more than 20 seconds. Too often would I open Google Maps, get ready for a drive and have it not detect my location because it hadn't gotten a fix yet. Even after getting a fix, if you stopped using the GPS for a few seconds and moved a few meters away, it would take excruciatingly long to get a fix again. I've tried editing gps.conf and numerous other solutions but, at the moment, this issue still remains unsolved.
Honestly, these are the only two that really bothered me and if it weren't for the solution to problem #1, I would've stayed with stock as these, combined, are huge deal breakers. With that being said, I should reiterate that these problems DO NOT occur in stock and have never occurred.
On the other hand, these problems are completely absent from Android 11 roms. GPS locks on instantly and is equal to stock performance and microphone is clear and flawless without needing to install Sound Recorder. Why is this? Why all these problems and why aren't they present in Android 11? Please, don't hold back any technicalities as this intrigues me very much. Cheers!
