I have a few apps that ran just fine on my Note 2 that will not run on (GS4) and I believe it's due to the res/dpi!
Mycast weather (important!) give error "Dpi must be between 50 and 400"
Rockabowl bowling game (not a big deal but crashes on run)
SkEye astronomy app.
Anyone else?
I just got the phone a few hours ago, rooted with the motochopper zip, installed Ti w/key and restored my backups from my Note2. Everything works fine with the exception of those apps. There may be more but I'm a bit tired.

(TL;DR note - 3rd paragraph has the findings)
hello all, ive never posted before on this forum before (been a member since i bought my LG Optimus GT540 though), and since im under the 10 post limit i cannot post this in the relevant thread (i.e. the development thread).
ive been using both mssmision and xavierjohn22's versions of MIUI since it became the official miui.us version (for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224147). the launcher FC bug really became annoying, to the point that i went back to CM7 because of that bug, and the fact that the updates stopped. i flashed the newest version yesterday in the hopes that it may be fixed, but to my dismay it still does it.
so i decided to fiddle around a bit, and made a discovery. if anything is placed in the 5th row, and you install/uninstall a program, the launcher will FC, if nothing is in any of those rows, then it will not FC. now, im not exactly an expert in this topic at all, but could it have something to do with MIUI's launcher not being able to handle the fact that its not 4x4 as it was intended?
either way, i hope that this is seen by the relevant people and may have been some help. i would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in getting MIUI to the galaxy tab, and all the developers for the galaxy tab for their wonderful work. thank you all!

that is true, its not a question. although it is kinda development related. considering its a bug in a rom currently being developed.
even so, sorry for posting in the wrong section, and thank you for moving it.

If you had modified the MIUILauncher.apk to stop crashing when something is placed in the 5th row, that would be considered development.
You have just given a tip, whilst still highly appreciated, its not development.

sorry for any misunderstanding on my behalf, i never intended to cause any problems, just offer my tip which may help make xavierjohn22's MIUI build become stabler. i have personally wanted an android device with MIUI ever since i first saw it in action on youtube. as i said in my first post, if it wasn't for the 10 post limit (which i am sure is there for all the right reasons) then i would have posted a reply in the original thread in the development section where i hoped it would be seen by xavierjohn22. above all, truly sorry about causing any problems.
on another note, 212 views on this thread and no other replies? has anyone else who is running this ROM had a chance to try this out and see if it helps them? or has anyone disproved it? any feedback would be appreciated, or if anyone could post it in the original thread and point it out to xavierjohn22 that would be appreciated to.
thank you anyway!

No need to apologise, mistakes do happen
Have you tried PM'ing xavierjohn22 with this?
no i havent, i just assumed his pm's would be turned off as most developers seem to get hit with heaps of pm's every day and eventually turn them off. that is a great suggestion, i will give it a shot, thank you!
edit: just sent a pm to xavierjohn22 with details, thank you for your help andyharney!
Hey everyone! Like the title says, I am new to rooting and Android devices. I was a BlackBerry loyalist for many years, and after that had a Nokia Lumia 900. After being disappointed by that, decided to switch to android. I'm 99% sure I will be picking up the GS4 on Sunday. My question for thos of you here that would know; when rooting, can I take apps/programs from other manufacture devices and put them on to my device? (ie: Htc Zoe and put on to S4. or S Health and put on the One)
Sorry in advance if this has been discussed before (i havent seen it) or if this is in the wrong location.
T.I.A.

All android apps from the play store will transfer. SOME, but only some will transfer by manually install from the 'system' or Rom/Custom Rom, but it's sketchy at best. You can always try it..... Nandroid first though. Which we seem to not be able to do yet. And NONE move from blackberry to android as far as I know.

I have been researching for a while buy have not found quite what I'm looking for... I am planning to switch to android from my iPhone... I have owned a iPhone since they first came out. I have been doing a lot of research as of yet because I am eligible for and upgrade here in a week or two. I have decided on the galaxy s4. Amazing specs compared to my 4s!!! I plan on using the smart dock to connect to a monitor/keyboard at home and a Motorola 'lap dock' on the go (of course with a slight cable mod) as seen on tech crunches news article showing a raspberry pi as a 'laptop'. The most research I have been doing has been on software, I am going to run ubuntu 'along side' my android. There are apps I can use after I root the s4 like 'Debian kit' or 'complete Linux installer' but I am really wondering If there are any other options that I can do without using a vnc to 'connect' into the GUI? Like simply opening an app once everything is installed and running correctly. Or quite literally similar to the Ubuntu for android solution. Now I know that once I'm able to set everything up its not going to run like a super computer, nor do I really expect it to. I simply want to consolidate a lot of My computing.

Howdy yall. Just got my shiny new S4 the other day (bought it from a friend for $400, and sold my Evo 4G LTE for $200. So basically got this phone for $200 with no contract extension, yay!), and am very pleased with it.
I just have one question. Is there a way to enable landscape rotation on the home-screen? I have this awesome cd-slot phone-mount, and in order to see my radio controls, I have to keep the phone rotated in landscape. On my old Evo LTE, there were ways to enable rosie (HTC's overlay, similar to TW) to operate in landscape mode, which I absolutely loved. Is there any method to get this working on the S4?
Thanks!
Not with the TW launcher but Nova launcher and others support it.

This isn't a place for hacking. Thread reported
Not sure if I understand the question correctly but I can't suggest any "hacking" apps but for games my top 3 right now would have to be:
1.) Call of Duty Strike Team
2.) This War of Mine
3.) Need for Speed No Limits
Top 3 Apps I use are:
1.) AVG Antivirus Pro
2.) MX Player Pro
3.) TVMC for android (Google it.. You'll thank me later )
Hope this helps.
