Decrease font size in Android core apps? - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

Is it possible to decrease the font size in the favourite contacts section? It's way too big when compared to the contacts app.

I suppose you can. Decompile the apk. Go to res/layout. One of the XML files will represent the favourites screen. Open it and you'll see some tags like this <TextView....>. There must be a code inside those tags to decrease the size or increase it.

if the rom supports quickpanel,
then it has the option to minimize font size,
however it resets in every reboot,
so you need to manually set it again every startup

If I use the smallest size in Lidroid Parts, the font size in Favourite Contacts is like the usual normal font size in the other apps. But outside that, it's a different story. The font in the Music Player for instance, is really very small. Take a look. View attachment 1347055

You can use Start>setting>system>screen, then go to text size tab, and choose the smallest text size there. I think if you slide it to the smallest, that's as small as it can get without directly changing the registry.
However, if you really want to use registry editor, try entering 600 into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI CurFont (dword). You can get even smaller font by using smaller value like 400.
Not sure about the icon though. I guess we need to create the icon with right size in the resource files?

Focus Matrix Wallpaper

For all my fellow Samsung Focus brethren... here's my latest transparent effect wallpaper. The preview image is for illustration only. You have to use the one in the zip file, unzip it, and email it to yourself. Then download it in your mail, open it, and use as wallpaper. When you slide up to open, you will notice a transparent smoke effect.
Know issues with transparency:
1. Does not work with pin lock set
2. With certain apps open (like email for instance), you will see the bottom soft buttons through the wallpaper
If you don't want the transparent effect, just use the jpg image preview below (right click, save image as...)

NICE really coo! thanks!
Really nice all paper. Any chance you can tell us what you did? Is it just a transparent png?
The way I did it was using transparency and layers... there are a lot of ways to make cool effects. Look at this thread here:

This happens to be my favorite and what I'm using now (but not Focus specific):

Wallpaper i can find
problem is i cant make those fonts or large icons like they are the part of wallpaper for the 6 mentioned folder's
The boxes are a uccw skin so try that widget and if they aren't there you can speak to the developer to make requests.

[Q] How to change system wide dpi?

I was thinking about changing my system wide dpi. Can anyone advise how to do that? What are the commonly used settings?
Thx!

Assuming you are rooted you will want to use an app that will allow you to edit text files. There are several but I use root explorer to do so. The go to your phone folders and look for the build.prop text file. Look in there for something like lcd density. Should have value around 480 I believe. I use 320 for reference. Keep in mind that this may mess up how some programs look. For example the gallery will run off the screen to the right unless you go and change the settings using xposed. Change gallery to 360 and it will look just fine.
Hope this helps.
Here is what 320 looks like.

[Q] Font Size in TouchWiz UI AppDrawer...

Hi there.
See image here;

As you can see the Icons are a nice size but the fonts look too big for the icons and over lap and make the appdrawer look messy, i've got my font size set to Tiny but the font on the touchwiz drawer is still ALOT bigger than the font on my settings...
Is there a way i can make my app drawer fonts smaller, maybe by modifying touchwiz? If so how would i go about doing that? This is the only problem i have with touchwiz and don't want to use Apex or any other launcher as i love the default touchwiz widgets.
I see someone managed to edit Touchwiz for the galaxy S4 which included decreasing the font sizes here;

Thanks
If you are rooted you can change the DPI, 420ish or so should suit nicely for TW
I changed the DPI via build prop editor with rom tool box and it just shrunk the sides into the middle of the screen, i'd like them to be stretched so it seems 420DPI isn't gonna do it for me.
You can go as low as 320 on the Note iirc before you run into issues, try a different one. Or install iFont and change the fonts?
