hmm was bored so i moved my density to 160... lol made everything small and now the launcher keeps failing... so how can i change the density in adb or something without using my phone?
you'd have to pull your build.prop via adb and edit it I guess notepad++? Then find where is says dpi or resolution whereever you find the 160 at and change it back to 240 save it and push it back in the /system

Tried to adjust the dpi and I guess I went too far because now it goes from the Google screen to a black screen and stays that way
What can I do?!

Can you access adb over USB?

Yes I have fastboot and adb available

Go and grab the nexus 7 factory image. found here ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images ). Then extract the files. Fastboot flash the boot.img, recovery.img, and the system.img
Commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
I believe this is what I did. Oh and make sure the files are in the platform-tools folder
I hope this helps.

I remember reading about this issue on another thread and the problem was solved through this.

I don't suppose there's a way to do this where I DON'T lose all of my data is there? And is my media safe? The stuff that would normally go on the sd card

Like perhaps I could pull the build.prop and fix the dpi and push it back? If anyone knows the correct path to it. Maybe?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
I'll see if i can find the right build.prop path for you.
It says location: ( /system/build.prop )
hope that helps
Can someone please figure out the stock lcd density? I successfully pulled the build.prop

stock dpi = 213

Use rom toolbox from the market. It's easier using the app. I had to do the same thing you did except I just redid the whole thing.
Repaired the build.prop and still won't boot so I guess I'm going to the stock image.
Thanks for trying to bail me out
While I have your attention, I'm new to the no sd card thing. Will a CWM wipe erase my pictures and videos and such?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
unfortunately yes. but i re flashed all three file. Try and flash the bootloader-grouper-3.34.img file. I know since I did the syste.img file, that might have erased the memory.
I had to do the same thing to but I also noticed that my permissions on the build.prop file got changed. Some how it was set to rw-rw-r-- and should have been rw-r--r--. Once I changed the permissions, it booted right up.
I've tried to change the dpi 10 times now. Kept bricking and had to fastboot back to stock each time. I think I can live without Tablet UI.
Since I've got you all here (and since my n7 is booting now) what is a good number to try to get the tablet ui?

I would reflash the factory image once more and flash cwm and root manually (The one click methods still need a little work) then once you change the DPI (170) worked for me,Connect to your PC and use adb to reboot and it should work perfectly. These are the method's I used and everything works great now,Nova launcher is also working pretty good with it too,The N7 is pretty much unbearable to use without the DPI change.Good luck and if you need any of the files I used just PM me & I'll create a link for you

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?
That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.
Anyone managed this successfully? I changed the build.prop to 160dpi, how tablet then refuses to boot. Reflashed 4.2.2, miss my lower dpi!
On stock rom by the way.

Yeah, tried root toolbox pro and build.prop editor, they dont seem to gain access to the file to change it. Have you had any luck with it?

OK, in case anyone else runs into this, remember to change the permissions back to 644 after you have made your changes!

I managed to change my dpi to 160 with no issues. I actually prefer it on 177.

Easiest way would be an app like Rom toolbox by jrummy. What did you change yours to?

Wait you set your DPI to 0? No wonder it bootlooped...
I'm going to try 240 or so, that's what I had on my Note 2. All you have to do is modify build.prop, I used a DPI changer on the play store though as I had issues with my root explorer changing it.
I tried texdroider dpi app from playstore, I changed it to 360 and when I rebooted I never came back. Had to do the flash back to stock process.

Same here, the only value that didn't get a bootloop is 380 DPI, anyone has any clues to this behavior ?

lol if you are root just xposed installer and app settings, then change dpi per app the way you like.
That way you can leave stock untouched

Thanks, tried pushing both of those to the priv—app folder and changing permission and ownership but they still don't show up in the app drawer. Anything I am missing?
