System font adjustment

Love the Nexus One. Hate that Android system fonts aren't scalable. Too many apps have fonts too small to be of use.
This should be fixed.
If you agree, check these out and star the threads.

Enom's 1.7.1 can change the font size... from Spare Parts...

Have you verified this?
I've tried several versions of spare parts - the ones that have font adjustment don't really do anything. Even if this ROM works, I still don't think this is the kind of thing that should require voiding warranty to have.

My experience is that it only resizes fonts in the SpareParts app itself, has no effect on anything else, and they aren't retained when you restart the SpareParts app.

actually it resizes everything but it quickly reverts back to the original settings. once it changed right before my eyes just by rotating to landscape view. the app has the ability to change all fonts size but something is changing it back. there has to be some way of disabling that to make the change stick. can anyone shine some light on this issue?

[Android][CM7.1][Mod]CustomLabel

NOTE: Do Not Apply this mod for Alpha 3, it screws up the status bar. You have been warned. I will see if i can recompile it for Alpha 3, makes it tougher without sources.
Initially i did this mod for my I9000 which was running CM7.1 and i was only seeing carrier numbers instead of names. I have ported this to CM7.1 for HP touchpad. Flash this file in cwm recovery.
When booted up you should see an additional setting in cyanogenmod settings called CustomSettings, tap that to open custom carrier text, tap that and enter whatever you want to show on the lockscreen and notification bar. Press done.
Install the attached notificationrestart.apk and open it, give it root access, press restart and wait for the notification bar to restart. This is to avoid restart of the tablet before you see the new settings apply. Voila, you should see what you put in the custom name. Have fun and hit the thanks button if you like it. Cheers.
If for some reason your status bar looks wonky after a while use this to get back to original stuff. I changed the dpi to 182 using nitrality app and the wonkiness seems to be gone. I am using iKandee theme from market.
Original Mod for I9000 credits

ngiordano ( for his helping hand with androiding)
Screenshots of what settings should look like.

I'll give this a shot. Is there an option (perhaps in the future) to place a .png file where the carrier text is? Similar to MIUI? Just curious.
Ok. dl'ing now. I'll report back.
EDIT: It works! My only issues
A) The notificationrestart.apk installed, but didn't seem to do anything. I didn't notice the change until after I rebooted the device.
B) I'm now seeing the 3G bar in the corner (see the image). Is there a way to keep the custom text, but not show the signal bars?

May be. I will look into it at a later time, no promises. If the status bar gets wonky, set dpi to 182 and see if it happens. For me its perfect at 182 (which is what my phone is it)

For now no. once cm team publishes source I will recompile with that.that well solve these issues. Did you run the notification restart app? I had to wipe data of that apk using titanium backup and it worked fine after that. 182 dpi works fine. Anything less than that status bar gets wonky.

Ya, once you wipe data using titanium back up it will ask for root privileges. Not sure why. 182 and higher dpi works fine.

The screenshot that I posted is in fact my TP. I'm using the Transformer theme from HERE. It ties in with CM's ThemeChanger. It'll notify you that it's not meant for your device, just do it. As you can see it works fine.

thank u sir!

@krarvind
thanks for this! no issues on my TP so far.
as a little test i flashed this to my T-MoUS HD2 Leo since i could never find a way to set a custom carrier label.
it works great on there as well - with one side effect on the lockscreen. any chance this can be fixed? i just did it on a whim since it's cm7 i figured it couldn't do to much damage. no problems on the status bar, just the lock screen.
i know it wasn't built for this device so don't answer if you don't want to
the top near my label shows a graphic from i don't know where.

I have no idea where that comes from and i don't have your device, so i can't really fix it i think. if you want to roll back, all you need to do is open up my zip files and replace the app and framework files with the ones from the rom for your phone ( not from your phone as it has mine now).
Cheers

For some reason whenever i try to boot a custom carrier label my Touchpad never boots up... it just hangs on the cyanogen mod boot animation and requires a hard reset... followed the instructions perfectly. anyone have the same issue?
after some messing around i got it to boot up for me. then the notification bar went "wonky" used the nitrality app to adjust the dpi. works fine. what is the default dpi again?....

No idea why you have these issues. dpi is 182. Anything above that works fine. Remember I don't have the sources to compile it for touchpad, so I did my best to get it

Screwed up my notification bar, the resolution is way off and battery percentage is gone. Cyanogenmod won't let me add it either?? The OriginalLabel.zip doesn't have battery percentage either for some reason. Guess I'll do a restore in Recovery. Thanks for trying though.

SlimICS icon size too small for my eyes

Hi,
anyone know how we can get the "normal" size of the icon provided with SlimICS ?
Actually the icons are very small and dont find a solution by downloading some fonts provided by the OTA but that changed nothing :/
Regards

Change the current dpi 182 to 240 dpi.. There is setting to change dpi somewhere in `Settings`, cant tell you where exactly since I am not using it !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

i try and will keep you inform as soon as i will success thus this will help another one.

The solution is here :
after that ; reboot and then the image are now at the expected size !
On my side I've use ES Explorer and to be able to modify the file, i've mounted the system to be writable.
Regards

There is actually a much easier way built into the phone.
Go to settings, ASS, general UI then in here you should see a section which says LCD Density. Click it and you will be given a list of what to do to change it in the correct order to do it. Follow that and you should be fine.

Thanks !
I didnt see it before. Too many little precious things hidden in this rom

haha yeah it is a bit over whelming at times. I don't touch half of the settings.

For sure, it's true !

Should ask this in the SLIM ICS instead imho!

Before I flash Slim I always first edit build.prop (in system folder in essentials zip) and change lcd density value to 240. Starts up the way I like it right away.

Icons on the SGH-I337 so small I can't see!

Tablet Mode UI?

Has anyone got this working or have any insight to what to try? I tried playing around with DPI settings with "App Settings" xposed module, and also Xposed Tablet Mode module.
I always wanted tablet mode on my Note 2 thread that is over a year old here but could never get it figured out.
Just adding the navigation bar/soft keys at the bottom(with simple build.prop edit) isn't as good because you can't see the time and notifications at the bottom to effectively always disable your top status bar all of the time.
Your input is much appreciated since this is a main mod that I always pursue!

If anyone gets this working successfully I'd also like to know. Personally, smaller dpi/tablet ui is the final peice of making the Note 3 perfect (outside of an unlocked BL + recovery).

If you lower the ro.sf.lcd_density value in /system/build.prop it will go into tablet mode. I'm not sure what the threshold is, but you could just keep lowering it until it works. I'm not sure if there is a "switch" that you can flip to go into tablet mode without lowering it.

even if u go tablet mode, it will be tooo small for note.
what u want is "Phablet" like what the paranoid custom rom do, but I doubt they support note 3 atm.

I ran the greatest rom known to man, Trans-Nebula, on the Note 2. There were bsolutely zero problems running at 160 dpi, for myself and many others.
Such an unbelievably clean/smooth look. And it was 100% tablet ui, not phablet.
So it can be done. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out lol. At least without potentially breaking things, which without the benefit of a nandroid, trial and error can be risky.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Actually I too was a nebula rom follower and if you look Nate explained why there would be no tablet roms in 4.3. Google took the ui out of 4.3. It does not exist. Even tablets released with 4.3 have the stock phone style ui, buttons across the bottom and drop down toggles.
It really sucks because I loved that setup. My workaround had been tablet noise on apex launcher and a transparent and hidden status bar. I also run at 320 DPI - just edit the build.prop file. The status bar is much smaller but Most apps are great with this. some do have to be changed back to 480.

I can live with the status bar. My biggest thing is getting that dpi down. Everything is just way too big and bloated...I'm getting used to it now but there's nothing better than the crisp, compact look of 160 dpi on this magnificent screen.

Not true. Check out the Note 1 in tablet mode at 213 DPI rather than 160-177 DPI and it was amazing! I know that the difference in Android versions(we're now hoping for this on 4.3) probably makes a difference.

So just change the build.prop so you get 160 DPI. It will be very small I can assure you. The mathematical equivalent to 160 on the N2 is 240 on the N3

FYI, if you don't already know, you can install Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401), and there's a module in there called "App Settings" that lets you easily change DPI per-app. Obviously if you want everything shrunk down it's faster to do build.prop changes, but if you want certain apps overridden from that, App Settings lets you do that. I found it useful for browser, sms, system, and a few others.

Actually I find it great to run the system (build.prop) at 320. This makes everything about 25% smaller. But not every app will run this way perfectly. Usually Samsung apps. So for that, yes install the Xposed mod and change the individual app DPI back to 480. I have had to do this on only about four apps so far.

I got mine running at 380 but how do I get the home screen position indicators to move down they are about half way up the screen.

So i was thinking...if tablet mode is non existant in 4.3, is there some way to mash it up to be similar?
Soft keys can be enabled, but they just lack the static clock, notification icons, and a tappable zone to expand the notification drawer.
I sifted through apps on the Play Store and couldn't think of a way to put it together, any suggestions? Maybe combine some widgets with overlays app?

Was anyone able to get Phab7 working? It's an Xposed MOD to get TabletUI to kick in with scaling options but I can't get it to work, here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545080
Definitely seems like it is possible

Hyperdrive's Navbar is awesome that it works...now trying to figure out how to combine the bars for Tablet UI or some kind of workaround since Phab7 is still causing SystemUI crashes...

LG V20 Second screen App icons get really small

Hi,
My second screen app icons periodically get really small (and kinda ugly) for no apparent reason. Then they get back to normal size also rather randomly. One way to get them back to normal is to turn off and on app icons.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't even know how to take a screenshot of the second screen to show what it looks like.
Details: LG H990ds. Sept 2017 Android 7 running. Unrooted.

This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.
This is a value setting within the theme itself.
The themer has set the theme to draw app icons on top of a series of backgrounds and they set the icon to be drawn at a percentage of the default app icon.
What I'm saying is the theme will, in this case, reduce the app icon to a smaller size then place it on top of one of the themes bg's.
Some icons have bg's as part of the actual app icon and some have only the icon (see attatched samples). Obviously icons that do not have a bg will blend into themes easier because the themes bg option will look more intended.
There are several options to fix this, but only one being easy.
1. The easy one does not get to keep the theme, you must change the theme to something that is visually acceptable to you
2. This is an option for users that have some experiance swapping images in an apk. Find the app which has an icon you don't like and use 7zip to open the apk and swap the image for one that appeals to your taste. Problem here is that thing can get overridden every time the apps gets updates. This can also trigger package errors due to signatures values and changes from original size.
3. Knowledge or modding a decompiles apk using apktool is required for this one.
Located the themes common.apk and decompile it.
Within the decompiled folders you will find a values folder, open the integer.xml and change this value to the value that fits your needs best (100 being 100% or the full original size) <integer name="config_icon_ratio_as_theme">65</integer>.
There are other ways that can do what you are wanting done, you just have to get creative with it!
You ask "how to take screenshots or second screen? You've asked this question twice now, obviously without reading the reply to the question the first time.
I persoanlly answered the question by pointing you to the link where you have options on how to add the feature you want.
This is a development community and i suggest spending a little more time reading and you'd be surprised with gow much you can find by doing a quick search.
So in summary, change you theme or learn to edit decompiled app with apktool.
Read every reply ro questions you ask so you and the people who take the time out of their days to answer you don't have to repeat themselves.

The problem is, this size keeps changing randomly. I haven't changed the theme in 2 months, but the size switches between the correct size and the tiny one every few days. The theme itself is the 'Default Black' theme that came with the phone.

I saw the comment, replied to the first part but happened to miss that part out. Thanks for that.

Attaching clearer pics to demonstrate the size difference.
Again it doesn't happen when the theme is applied. The theme has been applied from the beginning.. It's the dark one that came with the phone.. The problem comes and goes randomly.

Same here! Usually it happens when I've moved around an app icon, doesn't matter if it's moved onto the second screen or onto a homescreen.
A restart usually resets the size to normal.

u/stangdriver44 u/3mL : I have found the reason for this.
It's due to the modification of DPI I did on the main screen. It seems this setting is inherited by the second screen off and on. I just reduced my DPI further to 400 and the second screen icons got even smaller.
Others have also reported this issue. (As on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...e_the_size_of_the_navigation_buttons/dnj6dko/)
Is there a way to de-link the DPI of the second screen with that of the first?

Im trying to reduce the size of those buttons, can youpeovide the dpi and resolution that you are at?

The one in the photo was at 420. I'm currently at 400, which makes for some really tiny icons.
EDIT: please note, that this resizing isn't constant, it gets turned on and off like a boolean such that sometimes it stays small, then returns to normal for a while.

MMM, nothing different but changing DPI? You are working through ADB?

Yes, thanks for your quick reply and apologies for my super delayed reply to that.
