Multi directional screen orientation

Is there anyway to get my phone to recognize all orientations instead of vertical and tilted to the left?
Out of habit (left handed) I turn it to the right, it would be nice if the screen did too
damn top mount charge port

Epic Experience had that cooked in. Still may. Was kinda annoying.

was hoping to find an app for it. I have livehome and it lets me lock out the oreintation on the home screen which I like, but I would just like to be able to type how ever I want in texting
I will have to check out EE, but Im not ready to root yet LOL

I believe you have to make a modification to build.prop. Not sure if it requires a built-in kernel mod though :/.

On froyo its does its on some apps
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Use root explorer and open build.prop as a text. Its in the system folder.
Change
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=false
to
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true
Restart and your done.

....the false to true thing didnt work. please elaborate.

do I have to be rooted to use root exp?

Try deleting the build.prop.bak file it creates after you modify the build.prop file. See if that works. Oh yeah and click save and exit after you mod the file.

build.prop

i changed this line "ro.sf.lcd_density= 160" of the build.prop file in system folder and it changed my bar to the look of the xoom tablet. i changed the line ro.sf.lcd_density= 150 and it was too small and i took it back up to 160 and it looks a lil better. i didn't take it under 150 so i don't know how low and how high you can decrease and increase it to. i think i heard if you change the line i just told you about than it will tell you some apps in the market store are compatible. i know quick office pro hd works on the nexus seven but im tring to get it to show up in the Google play store so i can purchase it. is what i heard true, if so than what value should i change the line to?

But that doesn't give the tablet interface (Xoom style)

FYI - I've read (have *not* confirmed though) that if you un-install and re-install the Play store *after* resetting your DPI value, that it'll use your new dpi value accordingly, so that you can see all apps the Play store.. Again, I haven't tested - just reporting what I read...

I tried the DPI hack... and it's just that. A hack. All the apps have really small text, and layout, on basically every app. Even if you up the text size, it just doesn't look right...the layout is still too small.
The only real solution is the Hybrid rom, ParanoidAndroid. It took a while before I finally decided to try it, but I'm glad I finally did. It's the best ROM I've tried so far, and I don't think I will be able to switch to a new ROM in the future, unless it lets me set DPI for individual apps. In addition to DPI it lets you change the layout of the app. [the devs usually have 3 modes for the apps, so that it can run on a phone, tablet, or whatever..] so you can even make the Tablet UI with the default text size. Or you can put the DPI down a little, like I did, because I like the status bar a little smaller than full-size.

Hi, I'm using the PA ROM right now,and I'm just wondering what you did to get the PlayStore to allow the download. I know you can use the PA settings to change DPI and workspace so can I do it in there? Or do I have to edit the build.prop file? I bought it for the Asus Transformer TF101. I haven't been able to use it for m NExus 7 and I really do want to check it out .

A better option is to create a /data/local.prop file (rw-r--r--) with the following in it:

Hmm.... They might be using the model number to decide whether the app is compatible, so I don't think this will work, but you can try:
Open Google Play, press Home, press Recents, long-press Google Play in the list, then select Hybrid settings.
Leave the DPI alone [it should be at 213], swype over to the "Layout." In the drop down menu, select the highest value [should be 1000px, or maybe 800px]. Then tap the Apply button [left of the top-right corner].

You don't have to do anything, Google Play runs by default at stock DPI [213], so on ParanoidAndroid (unless you change it), it works out of the box.

Thanks for the help. Well I ended up trying to edit the DPI and/or the layout settings in different combinations while rebooting my tablet each time. I even changed the build.prop to see if I could download it. Nothing worked so I set it back to default/stock. Yet, when I looked online to "install" to device from the Google Play Store website, it worked for some reason. I have no idea what I did...
Anyway, on the side , since I edited the build.prop, do I need to do anything else other than reverse the changes? I switch the line back from 160 to 213. From what I searched that seems to be it...

[REQUEST] 4.3 Remove Capacitive Buttons

Hi, I'm running Slim 4.3 Build 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393971) on my lcd version nexus s and really like the on screen buttons included with the rom. Is there any way to remove the back light from the capacities buttons and stop them vibrating?
Thanks

If you download Nexus S Tools from the Play Store, you can disable the capacitive lights, and there's a file somewhere in system/usr that has the keycodes for the capacitive buttons (you'll know what file it is when you see it, there's like 4 lines for back, home, search, and menu). What you gotta do is put a # in front of each line and reboot, then the capacitive buttons will be disabled.

To edit the file, download a file explorer (ES File Explorer is what I use) and enable "root explorer" then go into settings and make sure /system is set to "R/W" (there's a little check box somewhere).
From there go into /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and open it as text. Then put a # in front of every line that doesn't have one and then reboot

Thank you anyway

^Same, I'm trying NStools but I don't thin the kernal is letting me do much. Any recommendations on a good krnal to flash with slim?

Marmite that comes with slim rom is good. I have disabled the back lights using that and nstools in the past. But often they would flicker if you touched them which bugs me.
In the settings somewhere you should be able to disable the hardware keys without altering any system files. I am not on that rom anymore so I can't tell you exactly where!

Ended up using nstools + disabling vibration
esexplorer is pretty complicated

LG G4 Resolution and DPI - For battery and performance improvement - ROOT REQUIRED

For People that have very little battery life and feel phone is slow or just want to get a low DPI (lower than 540) to work on phone in general here is the trick
1. Go to terminal emulator
2.Type:
3. Su
4. wm size 1080x1920
5. wm density 440(or any dpi you want)
6. Install Xposed download module called App Settings
7. Change the dpi of lg apps to 540 or higher
8. for the phone app you have to change the Contacts app also.
9. Now to make the phone to work to receive calls and to dial a call you need Tasker app (its a paid app unfortunately...)
10. Go to Tasker
11. go to the tasks tab
12. create two new tasks
13. On the first task: Name it DPI:540
14. add new action
15. click on code then on Run Shell
16. on command type wm density 540
17. check the box Use Root
18. The second task do the same thing except the command: wm density XXX (X represents any dpi you want).
The rest to make it easier watch the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eR2L4xyHKE
When receiving a call it will bring an error but following that it will work.
Battery improved a lot see photo:

Could I just change the resolution using this method without changing the dpi? I don't want to have to mess with that or Tasker to be able to make/receive calls, but I would appreciate the improved battery life by lowering the resolution.
Sent from my VS986

How does this improve battery life? I already have my dpi set lower with no problem and average 3.5 hours SoT.

His graphs indicate that before he was getting 3.5hours SOT after 8h of use and the battery was down to 3%.
Now he is at 4h20 SOT with 12h of use and battery still has 39% left.
You could get an hour to an hour and a half extra of sot by the time battery got to 3%.

I've followed the guide, and got error when phone call from outside. I also tried Screen Shift with many combination of resolutions and density, but with resolution 1080x1980, it only worked at density>530. So I reverted back to QHD with density 540. Hope someone found a solution for res 1080x1980
