[GUIDE]How to setup 240 dpi on your rom - Galaxy S III General

Hey everyone.
This is my first post in s3 section. I made a guide on how to setup 240 dpi on note 2 and I thought it would be a great idea since the requisites are available for both the phones.

Hey everyone
This is my first guide so please be polite
In this guide I will show you how to setup 240dpi or possibly any dpi on your rom.
Links to all the requisites will be given below.
But what is dpi ?
It is the value that manages most ui of the system. a lower dpi means everything would be smaller hence more things could be fitted in the giant screen we have. a higher means everything would be larger hence less could be fitted into the screen
Before We Begin I Want To Clarify The Following-
1)First and foremost I am not responsible for any damage you cause.
2)I assume you have already rooted your phone and have some experience with rooting.
3)You have made backup to be sure that in case you mess up you you can return to what it was like before.
4)Read the whole post before actually starting.
5)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
So let's Begin-
1)Download and setup xposed framework (Very good instructions on how to do it in the thread) (You need to reboot).
2)Download these modules - xposed app settings , gappscrashfix , all apps in play store.
3)Enable all the 3 modules (You need to Reboot).
4)Now open xposed app settings and set open each app listed below and in dpi enter 320 but don't change anything else.
-calculator
-camera
-clock
-contacts
-dialer storage
-fm radio
-messaging
-task manager
-touchwiz home
-weather widget main
Now some of these could be skipped or some could be added(can be tested but imao that will make the ui ugly but still it's completely your choice).
Also modded versions of some of these apps has been provided by bala_gamer.
5)Before we begin copy the modded samsung keyboard from the link given or setup some other keyboard and make it default.
6)Now open /system/build.prop or use a build.prop editor if you are very conscious and change the following line "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
7)Now before we reboot we need to include apply one fix , so instead of rebooting , power off your phone
8)Then go into recovery and flash the modded samsung keyboard.
9)Reboot and enjoy 240dpi.
Note -
1)The stock keyboard will constantly force close on 240 dpi (if you use xposed settings to set it to 320dpi, you will be practically unable to use it), so bala_gamer(thank him) has customized it to work properly on 240 dpi.
2)Recovery must be custom (ofcourse ).
3)Be sure to flash the correct version of modded apps (i.e. 4.1.1 if you have it or 4.1.2 if you have that)
4)I don't know if gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore are actually required but nothing bad in using it.
5)I know the explanation of dpi is incorrect but that's all you need to know.
6)Installing xposed framework doesn't affect simplistic framework at all.
7)The gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore you download would be in .zip format. Just rename them to .apk and you can install it then.
8)Many apps especially the system ones or samsung ones aren't ment to scale well. They are just meant to look good at 320dpi so they will look way ugly at 240dpi. To fix this xposed settings is used. You need to set it for each app that you think is ugly.
9)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You

That just modifies the DPI in build.prop. It does not make apps scale selectively. If I'm not mistaken, the Xposed FW is like what Paranoid Android has with its Hybrid engine, where you can selectively scale apps.

Correct but that will only do the step 6 of this guide if I am not wrong and most of the ui would be broken

Note10.1 JB leak 5-layouts multiwindow interface [Confirmed Working]

Hi Folks,
MOD for JB 4.1.1
I made this experiment to have the multiwindow interface from Note10.1 JB leak for my N7000 and by luck and a bit of guts, it worked and it looks awesome on my note1. I was just wondering if it could work on note2 using the same idea that I discuss on my thread. I don't have a note2 so I can not test it but I wanted to share the idea in your forum thinking maybe somebody might have the guts to try and explore. It's a learning process for me. I'm sure there are among you who are on the same learning process.
I think the N7100 already have all the necessary lib files for Note10.1-style multiwindow interface. All you need is to copy the missing permission files from the Note10.1 and find a suitable systemui. With the note1, the missing permission files are com.sec.feature.minimode_tray and com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet in the /system/etc/permissions folder. I also enabled the nav bar to access the miniapp drawer by editing build.prop and adding qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0 and change the ro.sf.lcd_density to 213. With the note1, the suitable dpi was between 200 to 213. Then I copied the systemui,apk and seclauncher2.apk from the Galaxy Tab 2 7" and overwrite the ones on my note1 in /system/app folder. Of course, whenever you copy or change files in the /system folder you need to set the right file permissions, normally -rw-r--r--. With the N7100, you need to find the right dpi, you can try 200, maybe less, maybe more. You need to be on a rooted deodex rom and make a nandroid backup before you do this and install another launcher like apex or nova in case the systemui or tw launcer forecloses so that you can be able to change the dpi to another value until you find the sweet spot. When it finally booted without systemui error, I know it finally worked. After that, all I did was swap the apps from the TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 to my note1 one at a time to see which works on my note1, some works, some don't and found modded apps on this thread most of which works on my note1. That's it fellows. Take a leap.
Attached are the files I have used for my mod on note1 and I believe it would also work on note2 by using a dpi of 192. It is not a CWM flashable file. You will need to extract the file and manually copy to specified directory as described here or according to the folder structure of the extracted zip file.
Procedure:
1. Requirement: N7100 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rooted and deodexed with unlimited apps multiwindow mod installed. Please make a nandroid backup first so you can return to your previous state in case you need/want to.
2. Install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses.
3. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
4. Download SystemUI.apk, SecLauncher2.apk and SecBrowser.apk and copy to /system/app folder overwriting the stock files using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer or any file manager that has root access and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
5. Download permissions.zip below, extract and copy just the contents to /system/etc/permissions folder and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
6. Install build prop editor from the Play Store. Run Build Prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd.density to 192.
Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0.
7. Reboot phone and explore. The tray bar at the bottom controls the window layout so if the current layout is not dual-mode then using the flashbar panel to open apps in multiview (that is dual-mode) would not work. It takes a while getting familiar with the interface so take your time.
8. Download modded apps from the Note10.1 forum or maybe mod your own using the guide located in the same thread. You can also use the modded 240 dpi apps as alternatives or import the stock apps from TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 and see which one works.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Do it at your own risk.
UPDATE:
So one member - f3w1n - has confirmed he was able to make the mod work on his note2 using 192 dpi and is in the process of exploring the apps that would work from the note10.1 on his note2. See post #10.
MOD for JB 4.1.2
The difference between this mod and the 4.1.1 is that there is no longer a tray/nav bar and that there is only one window layout, that is floating, movable, resizable windows, fullscreen and back and forth, and that there is no need to modify the manifest files of apps just like they do in Note10.1 to work on multiview because almost all apps can be resized but not all apps are supposed to look nice and work on window mode. Some apps are not intended by their developers to work and look good on window mode. The flashbar panel no longer works as I said earlier because there is only one window layout - floating windows. The mod is already working for me in the N7000 on this thread .
1. Requirements: N7100 phone with rooted deodex JB 4.1.2 with unlimited multiwindows mod installed. You can use most custom 4.1.2 roms which already have the unlimited apps multiwindow mod built in. Make a nandroid backup to be safe and backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup/Ultimate Backup,etc.
2. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or whatever that supports multidpi just in case stock launcher forecloses. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
3. Install build prop editor from the play store and edit ro.sf.lcd_density = 192.
4. Download the permission.zip file below and extract it. Copy just one file: com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml and place it in /system/etc/permissions folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer/Root Browser Lite/Es Explorer. This is the file that makes it all work. Then delete the file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml or just rename it to something else.
5. Download the SecLauncher2.apk below which I took from the TAB 2 7" as the stock launcher is not suited for this mod. Make a backup of the stock launcher. Now copy the SecLauncher2.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
6. Download the SecBrowser.apk which I took from the Note10.1 as the stock browser won't run on this mod. Make a backup of the stock browser. Now copy SecBrowser.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
7. Reboot your phone and explore - open apps, resize them, move them, open multiple apps, and so forth. Let the rom settle for a while as it builds the cache before it resumes the roms usual speed. As in 4.1.1 mod, you can use apps from TAB2 7" and Note10.1 as well as the modded 240 dpi apps in N7100 forum.

Oh this is friggin' SWEET!!! Man I hope you can get this working on the Note 2 soon. I think it would be especially useful on a much larger screen, like via HDMI on a docking station or something. Hope you can get this to work in TW as well.
Does it affect battery life?
If it needs root that will be the reason for me to try rooting my Note 2

You have to overwrite the apps that you have attached in the OP, change the lcd density in build.prop to a maximun of 192 (a bit small but its ok) and ad this in the build.prop aswell: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
So far all is working excenp samsung keyboard and some apps look strange (should be fixed using the note 10.1 ones. Also i think that there is a post with resaizable stock note 2 apps)
When i have time im going to download the jb leak of the note 10.1 and try some apps

xposed dpi app settings

So I got my ATT s4 last night. It's now rooted with superuser and froze all my bloat with tibu. Question is can I use xposed installer and xposed settings to set my dpi on a per app level?? Loving the phone. Coming from my beastly S3.
I did it and it softbricked my phone . Had to to a master clear from stock recovery. You are welcome to try

DON'T install it, unless you'd like to go through the (thankfully now available) softbrick recovery method(s).
I typically use ROM Toolbox to change my LCD Density . Is it a bad idea for now since I might f-ed it up and the only way of recovering it is via soft bricked recovery method?

Not 100% sure as I haven't tried it myself, but IIRC several users reported bootlooping after trying to change the density via build.prop edits (which I'm pretty sure is basically what ROM Toolbox does).
If you really want to change it, I recommend using the App Settings module for Xposed...rovo89 released an updated version (2.1.4) of the Xposed framework that is compatible with our S4's.
yeah, so far all dpi changes I've read about on the forums have lead to softbricks, so I'd avoid for now
I'm running 380 dpi right now via Rom Toolbox Pro. Also using xposed framework as rovo has put up a build that works for all s4's and htc one's. Using 480 dpi for camera and contacts. Those are the only 2 apps that do not look correctly @ 380 dpi. I have someone working on the dialer for us to work correctly @ 380 dpi. Here's the link for xposed. Make sure to download and install 2.1.4 version of the xposed installer.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I'll probably going to wait for a bit before I mess around with the DPI. I had a softbrick not too long ago on the Skyrocket and that was an easy fix with a Nandroid.

Okay I can't take it anymore. I need a smaller DPI. It's driving me nuts. Do I just download the XposedInstaller_2.1.4.apk and install it and then change the DPI settings via Rom Toolbox ? How do you make the app to stay 480 DPI for those that are not compatible like dialer and such ? Can I replace the apk from the ones on this thread ?

[App]{MotoActv] MotoActv DPI

This is another one of the apps i have been working on lately, it allows you to Change your MotoActv's DPI to three options
-90 dpi (my personal favorite)
-100 dpi
-stock (120 dpi)
notable features:
-Stays on reboots
-Dpi sticks even when app is uninstalled (through build.prop method)
-simple 3-button menu with easy to read insturcions
simple as that, requires a ROOTED MotoActv with working SuperUser, and has only been tested and confirmed on ClearD's ClearRom (and my personal mod of it released on his thread)
feel free to include this in ANY MotoActv rom(with or without credits, since credits are in almost all my apps), as it should work universally for them, but not recommended for phones, ad the dpi is WAAAAYYYY too small for em lol
download:
Google Play Store Download Link
Awesome! Will be testing now!

it works fully with working SuperUser, im getting my github in order and im going to make it open source, right now im figuring out a good way to do my github arrangement, as the old one didnt work well apparently i cant make the projects ina sub-folder without it counting as a whole project lol
but its simple and uses open-source librarys that were featured on xda-developers' protal not too long ago, im adding credits to it once i get ym github in order =)
New version uploaded:
new features include:
-button red background (fixes dark text on dark background for those using ClearD's Cleardroid rom, now included in his roms, and will keep updates here)
Download link still the same
Thanks, great app!!!
Is there anyway to get the motoactv launcher icons and stuff to stretch to the new api. For ex: the running person to being workout is small and left aligned.
Maye there is a custom motoactv "stock" launcher?

idk i never messed with the layout of the stock launcher =S, it might work, but things like the volume slider will not be able to fix easy, as its rom-sided, but the DPI is mostly how it reads to the screen, so unless its a .9.png image it wont stretch unless its setup with different images so unless someone modifies the launcher with those fixes, u will have to get used to the misaligned icons or goto stock when u want it to look desent, as its only a button tap away but im testing some mods for the ReActv rom atm, i love using CLEARDROID alot, but untill he gets a stable build made for me to implement my mod pack imma mod mine with Reactv for a bit untill then, i already got it rooted(as for some reason superuser wasnt working in my flash, so i used a different exploit), testbuild init.d, my mod_pack items+scripts, removed unneeded system apps+Ringtones+files, removed items leading to some battery drain(from missing cellular anteaneas), and working on native screenshot at this minute acually lol so im kinda busy, along with mods to my app SMS Tasks trying to make it work better w/o root through custom recovery making it a system-signed system app for non-root reboots+More Reliable gps Toggle features
If you want to fix the stock launcher when running a custom DPI, then I'd suggest you go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44034334&postcount=2315
and install the xposed app as well as xposedappsettings. Then you can simply set the motoactv stock apps to run at 120dpi as they were intended, while everything else can run at whatever you default to. It can be used to fix some other apps that crash at specific DPIs or screen orientations too.
to all u MotoActv Users with ROOTED MotoActv's and Google Play Store access i changed the link in the OP to my new Google Play Merchant account so if i make any updates (even if this app is considered FINAL as its already the best it can be for its purpose) u can download +restore it there to save some internal sdcard space from an APK download =)

GETTING LOLLIPOP LOOK IN ROM:-
when you open the keyboard it does not looknlike lollipop more it looks more weared the the stock. but dont be cheated by looks. go to settings of keyboard aelect the google keyboard and then goto its afvanced settings there is a option of color. in that select the material and head back one step and in top most item select the languages of keyboard. select both english us and uk. by doing so you will be able to input text using google voice. just you have to click on notification in status ar whenever you open the keyboard to start voice typing.
KEYBOARD PROBLEM IS SOLVES.
now looking at the camera and dialer app. we get a wieard feeling that every thing is just shifted a bit from original place. this is deu to cange in dpi of device in build.prop. but this can be corrected by using xposed framework and its module named as app setting. i have provided both the apk in the zip file just follow the instructions.
1-- open xposed framework and select the framework option and then click on install
2-- after a reboot now open same app again and select modules and tick all modules in the list and reboot your device.
3-- after the reboot open the app setting app and select the dialer app and change dpi to 240 and save the settings. do same thing for camera and then open the apps. they will be corrected by now.

Tinting status bar like lollipop for kitkat
6-- the content in the screen are too small?
Just go to build.prop and change the lcd_dpi to 240 at two places in build.prop and reboot.
7--rom does not have performance?
Wrong queation you can play mortal combat x at 47 fps . And asphalt 8 at medium quality without any lag. Some users say that the sound in need fr speed moat wanted shatters. Now that is a low ram problem because the ram is not able to manage that mich data thats why video is on priorty and audio lays behing.
8-- whats antutu benchmark score?
Its 11461 with maximum battery saver options and 12996 at max performanve options. This is something very good no need tp overclock rom sa overclocking leads to overheating and damages.
peace
Any custom rom avble for honor 4x help me

To port cm12 we have to deodex the framework and systemui. These are not deodexed in my rom because they do create problem upon deodexing.
Secondly to port any rom we should have a proper flashable .img or .tar format aor just simple folders not like that of cm12 .win.dat they cant be opened.
If can be opened then you can reply the post with the method to open it.
If anyone having a cm12 rom on any device closer to core 2 and having api 19 then hd can do us a favor.
Install android terminal and type
su
tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
This will take time be pacience and uplode the tar file on drive and send link here so that we can also start building cm12 rom for core 2
Thanks for someone who will spend his mbs to uplode

Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app
This is an incomplete business. It doesn't work. Mere waste of time have to go back to recovery.
Follow all instructions and it will work.
Single different instruction you must have skipped is to format system and that causes problem.
Do not write directly on form first pm me for any problem.

Use app settings module of xposed framework.
There change dpi to 240 and click on save button.
Force close the dialer app amd reopen it.
It will take effects.
Can do same thing with gallery.camera.dialer and any other app you feel like

Layers Themes For Xperia 5.0+

Here is the method to install Layers Theme on your Xperia Smartphone :
Don't Blame Me If Anything Goes Wrong
I Have Tested It On My Phone And It Works Pretty Well
Under Any Circumstances Whatsoever I Am Not Responsible For Any Loss Of Data,
Dead SD cards , Thermonuclear War , etc.( most of the other developers say this )
Read All The Instructions Before Heading Ahead. Have Fun Theming
Prerequisite :
#Recovery Installed
#Rooted Xperia
#Running 5.0+
#Latest Version Of BusyBox Installed
#A Nandroid Backup (Just For Precaution)
Flash this file and install busybox if you don't want to go through these steps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ko5aGRXGsEa3ZyMTl5U3J0QXc/view?usp=docslist_api
1) Goto Playstore and install Layers Manager App
2) Goto Playstore and search for layers theme and choose any theme you like
3)Open Layers Manager App and give #Root permission
4)Goto Settings and check on unnecessary overlays(optional)
5)Goto main home of app and choose the theme
6)Apply your favorite overlays and Reboot
NOTE:
1} Before applying any new overlays first uninstall the previous ones
2}You have to be on stock Xperia lollipop themes for navbar buttons to change according to Layers theme since the Xperia theme engine also uses the same technology of RR Overlay which layers use.Hence if you will apply any other Xperia theme other than stock, it will create another overlay upon it and you won't be able to see the nav bar buttons from LAYERS THEME
3} It doesnt have full support for xperia apps . hence some of the elements will have buggy appearance
4} For Best Experience install GOOGLE APPS coz its what the layers themes have been made for
6} FC's or bootloops occuring after applying overlays may be due to bad overlays.So always take a nandroid backup before messing up with your phone
7} FC's occuring after uninstalling overlays can be easily solved by a reboot
8} For those who are stuck after pressing reboot , Please remove your battery and reinsert it (if its removable) or Press the force reset or shutdown button. (Generally Xperia phones have them on the back of their phones under the panel) On boot up first uninstall That bad layers framework or system Ui Overlay . If you want then you can remove them form recovery only
9} For bad overlays here is the fix :
Go to recovery (twrp) and navigate to mount and check on System and Then open file manager. Navigate to system /vendor /overlay and delete the apk and Reboot
10} Mostly the bootloops are caused by bad or incompatible framework overlays ... So use with care Install Layers Showcase for more themes and to find that it supports your device or not

Once Again Don't Install Multiple Overlays On Each Other, Always Uninstall The Previous Ones First

Yupp, tried the Art theme. Doesn't work.
Get white text on white background with no icons visible.
In short, nothing visible.

Commute UI works if you also add the overlay that removes titles. This overlay turned to work quite well. Beware though, don't install framework or system ui apks. Can result in a boot loop. If that happens, you need to remove them through recovery.

Today's Setup Looking Awesome
You should join layers beta here

and layers google group

and if you get bootloop and anything is messed up, delete systemui and framework overlays from /system/vendor/overlays, better to just empty that folder before you start or when anythings messed up
delete framework and systemui from recovery only, because once running if you delete them, the system wil become irresponsive
Guys, i think i messed up. I'm getting bootloop after installing the grey theme. Now the thing is, i don't have any recovery installed to delete those overlays. And i cant install XZDualRecovery, because of the bootloops. So now, do you have any solution to recover other than a clean install.?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I've got frame works and system UI working from Dominator. That's the only one so far. I'm on 6.0.1. No Xposed (yet).
