Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to change the dpi and how ? What is the best dpi ? I would like something more fine. I have a tab 4 10.1 with the last rom samsung xef France.
Thank you.
You could use the Xposed module "App settings" I used it back when I first got my Tab. but as far as the best dpi I would say you'd have to play with the settings yourself. I don't think anything back could happen, but be careful!!

Hello, I am attempting to add day displayed before clock but I couldn't find any solution...
By day I mean like "Monday 10:24" , not date...
It will be appreciated if someone could tell me how to do it...
I tried gravity box, no effect
I tried xblast, no good
I tried wanam xposed, no good...
Any other way?
Hi all
So I have an interesting aesthetics / theme question. Here's the background: I have a S5 Dev Edition phone with TWRP. My first custom ROM was Team UBs 24jun version. I really liked the look of it (especially the small fonts and icons) but thought it was a bit unstable so I then installed the unofficial CM 10jun version. That worked well but some apps said they weren't compatible with it. So today I experimented with the new UB 13jul ROM. Unfortunately that wasn't too stable so I went back to the CM one. However after I reinstalled CM it looked quite different, with much larger icons and fonts.
Now in hindsight it looks like I didn't do a complete wipe in between UB and CM the first time around so CM must have picked up the system settings including fonts and icons that UB had installed. This time around after a full wipe CM installed its own defaults, which are much bigger. [I have CM on my Nexus 5 and it looks a lot more like that]. The apps that didn't work by the way do work now.
So my question to you all is do you know what UB's settings are for fonts and icons? I would like to replicate them under CM. Is there a theme setting that contains all of UB's presets?
I should also mention I have the full version of Nova launcher which I installed on CM, and UB had it as well. If it can be changed in Nova setting somewhere please let me now.
thx
PS - I tried to post this in the dev section under UB but it didn't let me, so posted it here.

Well, the easiest thing you could do is under nova launcher settings, go to look and feel, you can change the font and icon size there. I believe it only applies to launcher settings, so it won't change any of the system fonts or sizes. For those you just go to settings, display and there's a font section there... as far as I know themed roms occasionally change the DPI of the entire system, to give everything a cohesive feeling, but there are also a lot of things that need to also be modified when you change the DPI, so exactly copying the look of a particular ROM is not quite as simple as it sounds.
Hope this helps.
DPI question solved
Hi
So I figured out the best way to set the DPI is to download texdroider from the play store. It handles it across the board for the device and everything looks great. I set my DPI to 370 btw.
Thx
Hello guys! fist thing, I searched for the answer on other threads but can't find what I'm looking for. Basically I'm a newbie in this sort of things, I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and now I seek for a good rom for my phone. I felt the urge to do so because I wanted to get rid of the stock apps (like chaton, s health and so on. I tried to uninstall them with system app remover but they keep coming back as soon as I turn on the Wifi) and to have more control of my device, but since there're so many roms I got a bit confused, especially when it comes to kernel stuff etc.
I want a stable rom (with a normal battery drain) which gives me the possibility to use the S-Pen (I use the stylus often for taking fast note and stuff) and NFC.
I really liked the DarkWolf rom which basically convert a note 3 into an S7, battery life is good, S pen works fine BUT seems like it comes with samsung bloatwares and NFC doesn't work.
So, is there a rom that respect my needs?? what about the kernel? which one should I use??
thanks in advance
PS. My note 3 is the N9005 model,rooted, running official Samsung android 5.0
Go for AryaMod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
If you by any chance don't mind about NFC then I'd go for Phronesis - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910
Both have solid battery life without the need of tweaking the kernel. The kernel is good out of the box.
About your problem of apps installing back then why don't just disable them from Settings- Application Manager or disable auto download updates from play store. Since your are rooted you can use a root explorer and go to /system/apps and /system/priv-app to delete them completely.
Remove bloatware via Titanium Backup Pro .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels use the one that comes with the rom .

First thanks for the reply I can overlook NFC if Phronesis is better or has additional features than Aryamod however is there something good based on marshmallow?

Marshmallow ports has lots of bugs and battery drains a bit faster than LP though not that much. I'm currently on Darklord S7 Edge Beta2 port. Though all basic things are working like Wifi, BT and Data so I can do stuff with an internet. Camera has bugs like modes are not working only the stock capture and recording.
Some bugs for marshmallow based on darklord's rom, some are already fixed in bete 2;
- Always on not working
- Sound alive not working
- Sview not working
- Some camera mode not working (hardware limited)
- Hotspot not working
- Do not disturb time setting FC
- Handwriting not working
- Direct input cant change language
I think Phronesis rom has more features since its a Note5 port with a little touch of edge feature. I'm quite happy with it overall. It's the rom I'm using when going out of town or out of the country. The thread also has a Q&A section so you can find things faster when you encounter a problem. It also has some alternatives for NFC in q&a.
Ah totally forgot about Titanium Backup. As @JJEgan said you can remove bloatware from it as well instead of manually deleting them using a root explorer.
EDIT:
Phronesis rom comes with a kernel so you don't have to worry about them. It is good out of the box without tweaking it. For Arya I forgot already, maybe it is using the stock kernel and that is the reason why you have to flash official rom first before flashing it.
Thank you bratboo and JJEgan for the help. I think I'll give a shot to Phronesis waiting for a more stable marshmallow based rom
I have two s7 edges, one stock rom which works fine and this one - which was stock rom until last night. I rooted and installed KINGROM and everything is lovely, all except now my gear vr won't recognize when it's attached so won't install any software.
I wanted to post in the kingrom forum, but I don't have enough posts to do so, so I have to ask here.
Does anyone know why the headset isn't triggering the install? I can confirm it worked when on stock rom, and the KINGROM page claims that the vr is fully supported.
Australian stock, Optus carrier.
Many thanks
You gotta fix all those formatting on your post dude.
I dont have THAT specific rom but maybe it has an aroma installer where it gives you the option to enable it? The superman rom i had that, i selected it and my gear vr works perfectly.

Most ROM Makers remove apps that your MAJORITY dont use, VR could be one of them.
You may need to add it in yourself, Or it could be a option when installing.
If you have two phones, then check for the APK in system, and if its there, see if its present in your ROM where VR does not work.

nice to know superman rom works with VR... im already on that ROM and im planning to buy a VR instead of buying a google cardboard knockoff (aka the chinese vr boxes)...
@Toldorn
i use kingrom and vr is working flawlessly
in aroma when you flash it it gives option to remove apps you don't want and I'm sure you removed gear vr apps required to work
reflash it and don't remove anything.dont select any app in 3rd and 4th pages in aroma
