[Q] HellKat Rom Question. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am posting this here because my username is too new and I can not place this on the correct forums.
I downloaded the HellKat ROM [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-official-4-4-2-hellkat-mako-t2606098 ] The ROM is working just fine, except for one miner thing.
and I did mess with the DPI settings in the interface a bit, just to fit more items on my screens. When I change the wallpaper to one from Gallery, or the built in ones, the paper saves as super zoomed, and way far to the left. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this? Can I use the app settings app? and change the android wallpaper cropper DPI settings? I am left confused.
I came from a 4.2 Jelly Beer build, and it was not like that. I am sure there is a easy fix for this, This ROM is my new daily rider, although I have not updated it due to others experiencing issues with later builds.
I thank you for your help, and for taking the time to read this post. If there is any way to have this moved to the correct thread, it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to make sure the correct dev reads in to this.

My solution was to install Holo Launcher HD. It may or may not work for you. In conjunction with that, I use Quickpic to set the wallpaper.

Thanks so much... I will give them a try.

I did not change to holo launcher, i enjoy the modded trebuchet launcher that comes in the ROM. I changed my wallpaper with you other option and I think it is the same still.

If you have the zoom fix settings then it will solve the problem. This is what keeps me from using any other launcher.

I do not have that setting, maybe this is just something I have to deal with until the creator fixes it...

U need to use a different launcher the gallery default DPI is different that the dpi your using.. U can try wallpaper apps that have scaling build in like picspeed.. But just download nova and you'll be fine

2.1 .APK file links

I would like to start a thread that can be a hub for the new 2.1 .APK files that are usable on the Eris.
I have tried the current live wallpapers and will install but they are not visible.
Here is a link to the WeatherGenie from Nexus 1. http://download887.mediafire.com/iwj7jx90ftvg/xmtwizbmm3m/GenieWidget.apk
Here is the same app but transparent, you need to uninstall the regular one for it to work. http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife3/home/GenieWidget-transparent.apk?attredirects=0
Add anything to this list you know will work.
Please test before you post the .apk
Some more interesting APK from the Desire we could use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642189 From what I am seeing there maybe the update copy and paste included.

Are these tested? Please only tested .apks that we know will work on the Eris. Thank You!
I tested the gallery app. It works, unless you tilt the phone horizontal, then the screen goes crazy until you tilt back vertically.
I tested the music app. It works fine.
I installed and ran the clock app, I didn't like it as much as the HTC clock app, so I uninstalled it (it seemed to work fine)
I did not try either launcher.
I believe these are the extra HTC widgets we can't directly D/L fromthe HTC widget placer thingy.

This one definitely does not work. Causes FC loop which requires some Home-button-timing to get out of.

This works, but is very slow, and breaks in landscape mode. (Not FC-breaks, but massive-distortion-breaks.

Again, FC loop. No leads on the cause, I'll fire up ADB later and try to track this down.

Launcher2 works perfectly for me, on my Eris, but mine is leaked 2.1, so that might be the reason.
Most people are running the "leaked" 2.1 rom on this forum and seem to not have it working... Me included, did you do anything to get it to load? and where did you DL it from?
@Allow:
how are you testing it?
I ask because I too have installed the leaked 2.1 (as has everyone who has 2.1 on an Eris) and I get the FC loop when I click the home button and choose to use Launcher for the action.

OR maybe im completely wrong here and you may very well be that 1%.
got pics to prove you have it working?
I am also getting the looping and I am running 2.1.
Omg. People pease try reading around. Launcher2 will not load. The guy that said that is either a newbie that doesn't know what launcher2 is or just likes drama. Of course with screenshot plus video I will apologize. But I have logcats from trying to load launcher2 that looks for lib files we can't add with out root

With a total of 4 post in XDA I am going to have to say that the guy is both but then again I have been surprised before maybe hes discovered how to root the the Eris
The music app is the only one that fully works and it's not much better than the leaked 2.1 eris' music app. The clock wont do fahrenheit or bring up my location at all. This thread is a complete fail.

Default Wallpapers bug

Got some problem with wallpapers.
After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;
I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.
Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?
If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg
Try downloading that and swapping the image out.
If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.
Hope this helps.
So compare
tau . rghost . ru/40813681/image.png (dont forget to zoom)
and
cdn01 . androidauthority . com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg
Difference is more noticeable at png.
By the way, when i fresh install any ROM, this wallpaper looks normal, but when i set this wallpaper again in wallpapers menu, it has this noise;

I wonder why you can't see the difference.
plasmon . rghost . ru/40817332/image.png
Please, look at this fragment. I ask my friends about it, and they said that they can see this "noise".
Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.
It's all very weird.

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!
It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.
I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Thank mate, but i want to fix it permanently.
Is there a way to do a FULL wipe, really FULL? Lol.
So anybody know, where is stock wallpapers folder?
Updating to 4.1.2 didn't fixed this problem.
Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)
I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.
I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.
Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...
Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.
I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.
I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it.

[Q] Wallpaper not scrolling anymore

Since the last two weeks or so my wallpapers doesn't scroll anymore. I've read a lot of others having the same problem but with different phones, but still can't seem to find a fix for this. I don't have any rom's installed and the phone isn't rooted. I'm using Nova launcher prime but I've also tried stock launcher. I know Nova has a built in 'scrolling wallpaper' setting but none of the options seem to work. I've also tried setting wallpaper from different apps such as PicSpeed but with no success.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution for it? Although it's kind of a minor issue it's still bothering me a alot.
Anyone got any ideas?
It pretty much depends on the wallpaper you are using, try switching one?

That would probably be because this rom is not a dual sim rom because we only have the standard 900f
Is there a separate mod for no increasing ringtone I can use on my stock rooted 900T?
Switches in Sygic GPS Navigation
The switches in Sygic Naviagion are full colored (see attachement).
Tried it in stock rom and other custom roms, there its working as expected.
Talked to Sygic support and they said, its not app related, but custom rom related.
Some other people posted the same problem already in the development thread.
Can you have a look at that?

Set switch colour to transparent and it will use the stock colour for switches and that will show fine. Shows that way when coloured because sygics switch png must not have any transparency in it so it shows as one whole colour
It will be because of the image used. They have custom switches by the look of it. The color mod overlays a color and uses a porterduff mode to define what happens. This works fine on tw and aosp switches but i guess it doesnt on theirs
Update:
With transparent switches its working (ugly green, but i can live with that )
They wrote me the following:
"Those switchers are native from Android Rom - that is why we like to call it ANUI (Android Native User Interface) because we use elements from Android build so we can have consistent user interface."

Ani idea, how to solved this?
Look at the images in large form then will see you a diference of quality.
And this bad quality stays whdn you set it to lockscreen or wallpaper or lockdown or settings background.
Or what must i do to reach you guys, you dont give a answer on most of my question why?
Because I have no idea what you mean. The gallery is not modded at all. If there is a problem it's with the image not the gallery

But i just ask, do you have any idea how this is possible or how i can fix this
Btw do you see the problem?

No....I said the problem is NOT the gallery. The gallery is untouched Samsung gallery.
Yes I know but how can be it the image.it's working with other apps. Like wallpaper setter.
And in gallery app not.
Then it must be the gallery?

Probably due to the ratio of the image. The Samsung wallpaper is not phone screen shaped to allow for scrolling. Other apps won't account for this whereas gallery will

BlissPop on Tab 4 10.1 - pulldown menu is small

I installed BlissPop 4.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-blisspop-3-1-t3084757) on my T530 the other day. Everything went fine and it's running smoothly. But the pulldown menu (notifications section) when you swipe from top to bottom is small, as if the rom thinks I'm on a phone. Is there a UI setting to tell it this is a tablet, and that it can use the entire screen?
Thanks in advance!

@sub77, I tried the blispop builds that you provided. The 110 was the last update. I would like to mention here, that the animations and the other features are awesome... Great work pal!!!
In my case though, I did a custom ROM Install and then also flashed the modem (from bruce) yet I dont have any luck with the Mobile Connection. Also, the rear camera did not function for me. But yes, I have the Wifi and Bluetooth running. themes are functioning proper. There is a little glitch in opening the notification bar, as it does not easily get pulled down.
Can you shed some light on my concerns???
