If anyone is interested. I made a mod for cm11 that allows you to set the x and y DPI and set your device screen resolution via build.prop. I initially did this mod on the galaxy player. I can port it over to the tab 2 if anyone is interested.

update: flashable zip release.
please let me know if the flashable zip fails. I used a guide to help me make the zip.
this zip should work on any cm11 device including the galaxy tab 2 10.1.
just flash it via recovery like anyother zip.
I am not responsible if anything gets broken.
this mod only works with cm11. this has been built on may 15 but may work on later nightlies.
to set screen resolution. you can set ro.sf.widthpixels and ro.sf.heightpixels to whatever you want. to set custom x and y dpi you can set ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi and ro.sf.lcd_denstiy.ydpi to what ever you want.
for resolution use only numbers ot you will soft brick. I recommend using a terminal emulator and testing various settings using the qemu equivalent properties (replace ro with qemu) untill you find settings you like.
the settings I currently use are
Code:
ro.sf.widthpixels=800
ro.sf.heightpixels=1365
ro.sf.lcd_denstiy.xdpi=153
ro.sf.lcd_denstiy.ydpi=153
those settings will make the tab 2 7.0 think it has a 10 inch screen and will use xlarge layouts.

Just so you know, the ROM I will be posting will only work the p3113/p3110. I can share the source code so you can port it to the p5110 if you want.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
I ported the mod over and waiting for it to compile. Only services.jar and surfaceflinger are modded . I will see if copying over those 2 files will work.
If copying the 2 files works then this mod should work on the other tab 2 models running cm11.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
update:
installing just the modded services.jar and srufaceflinger worked.
I am going to mod services.jar so you can select the ui layout you want by changing the dpw and dph via build prop. This would allow you to have xlarge framework resources without changing DPI or resolution, but could also be used if you want phone layout.
I will upload a zip containing the mod tomorrow

update: flashable zip can be found in the OP along with instructions.
I am now attempting to mode frameworks core so custom values for smallest width dp can be used, allowing you to select what layout you want. You could set your device to phone mode without changing DPI or resolution.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
I successfully modified services.jar so the smallest dp can be set via build.prop. the number can be changed so you choose what layout you want.

While this still works for Alpha 2, it is already fixed if you run a nightly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501347
------------
The latest chrome beta checks Build_ID in the build.prop to ensure compatibility. Up until now tenderloin was building with a GB Build_ID which broke chrome compatibiltiy. This is now fixed in mainline CM9 code (see my patch here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,13008) for future builds.
However, on Alpha 2 (which is where you should be for hw video decoding) the fix is to edit a line in build.prop. Replace "ro.build.id=GWK74" with "ro.build.id=IML74K". (Fix taken from here: http://tinyw.in/fSAb)
For those not comfortable doing this I made a flashable fix for it. Just flash the .zip in recovery over alpha 2.

to
Code:

and Lines 30-31:
Code:

I tried modifying framework-res.apk with all of these values in bools.xml
Code:
config_allowAllRotations
Code:
config_enableLockScreenRotation
Code:
lockscreen_isPortrait
and was successfully in replacing the original without bootloop. Unfortunately, none of them works. Is there any truly working way without installing apps (e.g. Set Orientation)? All I need is just get the lockscreen go landscape.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
P/S: I am using Nexus 7 with root
Flash this ROM and then set lockscreen in settings.

Hello There
I am really sorry if this has been answered before.
I used to have CM10 on my nexus but i went back to stock because I did not like how many of the apps because "incompatible" or saying my device was not qualified to run this app but it was when it was stock Nexus 4.
Anyways, do I just copy the build prop from a stock rom and use it with CM10 or is there just a few lines to modify in the build prop when CM10 is flashed. Any info was definitely be appreciated. THANKS!
You shouldn't have to modify the build prop on the cm rom you flash cause it comes with it already setup. What are you trying to modify?

Thats because root is detected. No build.prop edits will fix that.

I didnt make any changes to the DPI.
I installed all apk found under system/framework with apktool.
*framework-res.apk & another apk
Then decompiled Settings.apk of Xperia pro stock ics Rom.
After that ,without making any change I compiled the apk. Then I surprisingly noticed that the size compiled apk is 1/3 of original stock settings.apk .
Then I flashed the apk using cwm to my phone to test if it work .after flashing, the setting icon is invisible in launcher menu !
Plz anybody tech me how decompile and re compile stock settings.apk of Xperia pro properly..

After clicking on compiling apk manager asks to delete resources.arc and also the xml you edited. Then compile it should.

Anyone manage to install new fonts that don't suck via flashable zips or any other method?
Sent from my S4 w/ PAC MAN
Download an app called iFont. Horrible name but great app for applying fonts! Only way I've found to change fonts. You can even install fonts to the app that are locally on the device. Good luck!
Rom Tool Kit Lite or Pro works fantastic. I had no problem installing fonts on my ATT s4 running Liquid Smooth :thumbup::thumbup:

Personally, I use Font Changer Lite [root]. Once installed, just find a .ttf file an put it in the .FontChanger folder on your sdcard, and it changes ALL fonts (statusbar, text messaging, system fonts, everything). If you want different fonts for specific apps or whatever, you can use the advanced option to specify. @martino2k6 is the creator, and all credit goes to him. I've been using this app since I got my Atrix 4G in 2011. Check it out.

Also, I know the following font packs thread is a bit dated, but there's a ton of them here.

I use Font Changer Lite too. Just make sure to only use TTF (TrueType) fonts and not OTF (OpenType) or you won't be able to boot.
