[Q] Changing the DPI on CM11 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I don't know of anyone else is having this problem but on CyanogenMod 11 I can't seem to change the dpi for the phone. I have changed the build.prop to no avail. I even tried different apps to do so with absolutely no luck. This is really frustrating as the ui is so large it's almost pointless to have a 5.2 inch screen.
Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

How to enable JIT?

Hey guys. First off, I HAVE searched already, and found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637419
I've tried it, and all I get is a continuous bootloop no matter how many times I reboot.
So, basically I'm running IC3 ROM, which is based off the newest DC. I am only using Launcher (no Launcher 2 or Sense), so Sense won't give me problems. Has anyone found another way to enable JIT? I remember I found one once that worked back when I was using Fresh, but I can't find it for the life of me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659387
I posted this in our forum.. Im using it right now.
Aaah thanks!!! I'll try it right now!
Damn... bootloop again

Make sure you disable HTC Sense, use helix or nexus launcher.
Also try to wipe dalvik after enabling it.
Alright I'll try that. I'm just using the plain Launcher that comes with Vanilla, so I shouldn't have problems from that.
Hmm still no go. Any idea what the problem could be? Could you try enabling JIT on IC3 ROM and see what happens when you do it?

HELP with Asphalt 6 please

Hi guys, please take a look at the following video.
It's not very clear but shows the problem I am having. As you can see when the game starts the car is positioned so far to the right of the screen, you can only see half of it!! It should be in the middle of the screen. Why is it like that?
I am on stock rom, screen density 240.
BTW. A fellow xda forum member sent me the apk file as I am unable to download it from samsung app store. (I deleted it using titanium backup when I got my Note).
Weired... I got my version from Samsung apps and its working flawlessly... I am on stock 2.3.6 rooted
I am using this, downloaded from Samsung n working flawless try it.
it is asphalt 6HD , free application for G-Note
In Option Control A working fine for me
Thanks Dr Ketan, I was thinking it might have been the apk file. I have cleared data and uninstalled the one I was running, will try your file now and report back.
Ok Dr Ketan I have just tried the file you uploaded. It installs fine but when you start it up it says:
Your device is not compatible with this game.
Please request a refund.
Galaxy Note here, stock rom, 2.3.6, rooted, screen density 240.

I think you should try delete the game data, uninstall, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then install again...
Yes ypu just remove data foldwr too,n reinstall
Maybe you should change the density.
CU
I got mine from samsung app. Works perfect.
Are any of you guys who have this working perfectly on a different screen density to the default 320?
I've tried 2 diff apks so far, one gave me the "incompatible device" message, the other one gave me this exact same error. Seems like we're out of luck.
Brazilian Note, Sheep ROM 2.0, AbyssNote kernel, default density.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem at least..!
If you find a working APK please let me know. I will do the same.
are you sure that your screen density is 320
cutom roms may changed that..
No, my screen density is 240 as I stated in the op.
Since Asphalt is not listed for my region, I downloaded apk file and it gives the same error popup - "Your device is not compatible with this game. Please request a refund."
I don't think whole game graphics fits in 1.8MB apk file. So when game fires, it must be checking for data files and giving that error.

No, that's not the issue. Even though the APK file is small, the data is downloaded once you actually run it as with most 'large' games. With the first APK file I tried, it downloaded the data just fine but gave the error as shown in the video in the OP. The second APK file said not compatible. I'm quite sure the APK file size is irrelevant.
Why don't you just download the samsung version? I got it for free and it works perfectly well. I just think that you're wasting time of many people over here. Try the samsung version and let us know if it works.

With all due respect, don't post in a thread if (1) you don't read it first and (2) if you have nothing constructive to add.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.
Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..
Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.
thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

[Q] SACs custom V7.1 issues - wifi, caller ID

I'm running SACS Custom 7.1 with Faux kernal, and since I update to 7.1 from v7, my phone doesn't save any wifi profiles I connect to. Another thing I've noticed is no image shows up when recieving a call, so I have no idea who is calling. I got a 3rd party caller id from the market to fix that, but still a strange issue.
I am experianced with phones, but haven't posed enough here to post in SACs page, so any ideas would be helpful.
I tried looking at settings from 3minit or XPOSED, but nothing has changed since V7, so I'm wondering where to look.
The wifi profile shows up in data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, but only the one I am connected to at the time. If i disconnect and reconnect I need to re-enter the password.
Not important but annoying.
Thanks for your help in advance, you guys are awesome!
P.S. SACs work is awesome, no complaints here, just troubleshooting strange issues

Sorry not to be a jerk but if you read the thread atleast without having the ability to post you will find that the issue for wifi is the faux kernel and to fix that just flash a different kernel. The black caller id is because a setting in xpose sorry I forgot what module was the culprit. If I where you ill just wipe everything clean 3 times and then install v7.1. Then you will see no problems.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the help. Should have read better is the common problem, thanks!
Update:
Reflashed ROM after wiping everything 4-5 times, like recommended, stock kernel.
Wifi issue resolved, but still getting black screen with only answer slider when receiving a call.
All Exposed mods are not activated yet, so must be something else. Nothing in 3minit is set up yet either.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Go into Xposed
Uncheck Gravity
OR if you like Gravity pick "full screen caller ID" (it's in there somewhere in the settings, I just forget exactly where)
Problem solved
Is there a recommended kernel to fix the wifi issue? A link to download would be awesome. I'm a root newb. I've searched around and it looks like I should be able to flash the new kernel from cwm? Do you do it just like a room install? Just install from zip? I'd like to just flak the kernel, so I don't have to set everything up all over again like I do after a new rom. Is that doable? Thanks.

Flash whatever kernel you want that is for the Sprint gs4, just wipe cache and dalvik first. After flashing, fix permissions in TWRP under the advanced menu just to be sure your phone is optimized. You can do this whenever you want, just give a kernel around a day to see if you like its performance before you change it again.

Yeah just like a ROM. Flash in CWM is all you do. Go in original development and try out ktoonz or agats kernel. I've heard chronic is also good.

[Q] Random crashes of applications

Hello everybody,
bought an HTC HD2 phone a week ago and tried to install many ROM in it.
Finally yesterday i was able to install a MIUI rom, here it is my details:
Android version: 2.3.7
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15_tytung_r14_callrec_g42b00bc
[email protected] #133
Everything's find, it is reallly fast but sometimes when i'm on some app it crashes and give me a force close signal.
I just downloaded a few apps in it, just Facebook and Whatsapp. They both crashes after a while giving me force close..
I'd like to solve this problem with your help since this ROM is really fast (i also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 but it gave me the same error - force closes).
Thanks!!!!
Forgot to mention that i also have Google apps(Playstore,gTalk and gMail) they crashes too.
P.S. Tried to edit the initial post but once i click on SAVE edit it doesn works.
Huh, for me it could be wrong partition size before flashing (you mentioned you've tried many ROMs, are you sure you changed settings correctly?) which affects system to close every app because it has no memory to handle it.
Just my opinion, give a feedback about settings, if you set it good, it can be something else.

That's exactly what i was thinking too. Do you think i should make an hard reset of the telephone and install everything again beginning from where?
Thanks
