4.3 and high DPIs - Galaxy Note II General

Hi everyone.
Has anyone been able to get the Note 2 work fine with 270, 240 or even lower numbers of DPI on 4.3 fw?
4.1.2 was PERFECT. You just had to change the numbers on app settings and you were good to go.
4.3 broke everything.
Changing Android+SystemUI leaves a gap, the s-pen doesn't work right, the keyboard screws up BIG TIME.
I can't stand the HUGE, GINORMOUS statusbar (which is in the first place the reason why i want to change my phone's dpis).
I really don't understand why they made the statusbar and notification bar items so gigantic.
The Note 2 has a 5,5" screen and YET due to the size chosen for those items, you can see less concurrent notifications than a 4,3" phone.

That would be totally awesome, can you make the mod so that it works on odexed roms, so then later it would be possible to use your mod on stock roms, and they are coming very soon now, so you won't need to redo all over again.
Thank you in advance man.

I have made one for myself with mix and match of 240dpi apps around here on the forum. Installed the new ditto app, reboot, flash my package and all is working like a dream very impressed with myself as it was the first time I tried something like this.

Lower the dpi, smaller the fonts and interface. Bigger the dpi for eg 320,looks big like in stock rom.

No big problem with me at 280dpi

Its because you are missing Note3 app package. You need to have Note3 app package installed before flashing this mod.

Best Custom ROM to flash?

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.
Definetly overcome!

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.
And I really miss Rotohammer too.
Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version
Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.
sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

Gingerbread - Singapore Released [JV9]

Gingerbread for SE Asia, Singapore, is released now. I got the update only today through Kies [with no Kies spoofing].
A few things I noticed in GB:-
i) You can specify a new wallpaper for the lock screen
ii) You have the option to choose between fixed or floating wallpaper for your home screen(s).
iii) Original Galaxy S ringtone missing!!
iv) Changed notification bar.
v) New Accuweather widgets.
vi) No more two levels of clearing memory in Task Manager - just one level now.
May be there are more things under the hood - but these are what I found after a quick look.
Mostly all the Same Changed in all GIngerbread Roms..
Feel a bit laggy for this rom... Anyone feel the same? But battery consumption much more better I think...

Ok, I've been asked to upload this. its an iphone style rom, i ported it from the htc hero. it works but it has major faults.
faults:
wifi not working.
no wake from deepsleep.
screen gets flickery.
As I have been asked to upload by a few members I have, I personaly don't have the time to fix as my partner has fallen ill and I must look after her. the time I do have is dedicated to MY-UI and the miui port. if a dev wishies to fix then please take this rm as your own. . . it is built on cm7 beta 3, so if you complete please give credit.
PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD FOR USE, DEV ONLY.
good luck and god bless.

It wont be the same. The framework is the onlyway to get half the apps working. I dont know why you would think otherwise. Try it without and see. Some apps will, but not all. Plus the settings will not work. By all means prove me wrong, but you wont manage it. Music, gallery and such are reliant on framework.

really great looks
prob is screen flashes some time
compass,camera ,back light not works
as jusada said its only for devs
But i feel there is only major changes in framework rest same(may im wrong)
but if only major changes in framework then devs can port it to cm7 2.3.7 rather than solve prob of this rom as it may easy compare to solve lots bugs(its im feel not sure,it depend on jusada's answer that it work on cm7 2.3.7 by porting framework?)
its only opinion devs know better
though have to say great work its really awesome
really respect your work
