[Q] 180 degree rotation

I really need this option for when I am using my phone as a satnav. I have tried all the suggested solutions but haven't found one that works other than using CM10.2 or one of its variants, but I actually prefer running a GE rom. Has anyone found a way of having 180 degree and autorotation?
Thanks

Ok, for anyone interested, I have found the solution.
lnstall Xposed framework and then install Wanams Xposed mod and you can enable 180 degree rotation from there.
Perfect.

Good , u use 180 just for nav?

The mod appears to work for everything. I need it because when I am using my phone as a satnav its upside down so I can access the usb port.

Wannam xposed or even nottached is good.....if you want the rotation only on specific apps....you can play around with an xposed module called app settings....where per app dpi can be achieved as well as rotation features and others...good luck

Ultimate Rotation from PlayStore works great on any setup and has per app settings.

[Q] HellKat Rom Question.

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...

[Q] How to run applications in tablet mode?

Phone: Galaxy Note 4 910C Exynos
I've been trying to get Evernote and Gmail to run in tablet mode for a few days with no avail.
I've tried Xposed app settings tweaks and a few other tablet-mode xposed mods which at most crashed the system UI.
Does anyone know a working way to accomplish that on the Note 4?

I have the same question?
I'm trying to accomplish this on Firefox to force it in tablet mode. I have no problems on my Note3 to get it, but on Note4 it wont work. Did anyone get it to work and how?
Im on DR.Ketan ROM with multi DPI on note4 ... and on my note3 (which works great without any modifying) im using x-note ROM.

Use "App Settings" Xposed Module. You can change the DPI in a per app basis and force tablet ui mode too (touch "resolution" and apply the biggest one).

Hi,
there is an app that I've used for it on my n910f.
UI Tuner (aka Window Manager) on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.uituner
It works like App settings. Go to menu in UI Tuner and select per app settings. From there you can choose the app you want to run tablet mode. Just type an lower density value and higher screen size. You can google for some tablet values.
More information you can find here on xda. Search for window manager.

It didn't work for me. Looks like there is no way to run firefox in tablet mode on note4 ...

Sorry mate. For other apps it worked for me. But Firefox app seems get some device information (assume from build.prop) to recognize which mode it should start, so it is no matter what dpi or screen size you have.

Probably In Xposed AppSettings it changes the DPI like it should, but firefox just doesnt recognize it. I cant get behind the logic of that, because on the Note3 the same version works excellent in tablet UI. Looks like i have to switch completely to the RAM eater chrome.
Ill ask it in the ROM section, maybe its something ROM related or the dev could help me out.

I found that setting the global DPI on my G4 with textdroider changed Firefox into tablet mode at a certain point (450 worked, with my device default being 640), but it doesn't work with App Settings.
My suggestion is to change your entire DPI to some smaller number with textdroider and adjust apps to a larger size as needed. Kinda annoying, but should do the trick.

DPI changed, need another camera - good as stock camera?

Hi, i changed the dpi of the screen, now i can´t use stock camera anymore. My phone is not rooted.
If i install a new camera-app, will there be used the samsung drivers or will only use stock camera samsung camera use the samsung drivers?
Will a 3rd-party camera-app be as good as stock one and make same good pictures?

use google camera on play store and another keyboard.

Is picture quality same as with samsung stock camera?
Does google camera or another camera app also use samsung drivers or do they use android standard drivers for camera?
Only samsung stock camera is working with heart rate sensor to make selfies?
-----------
Stock dialer is not displayed correctly, too. But it is only displayed a little bit smaller, buttons are working.
With camera app i can also see only smaller screen, but it seems that buttons are still to press on the place they were before, but now they are diplayed a little bit to the right. So i can use stock camera app, but i have to press buttons with good luck...

Axon 7: Changed DPI - many Apps with display errors?

Hi,
I've changed the DPI of my A7 from 640 (stock) to 560 via adb:
Code:
adb shell wm density 560
Unfortunatelly many Apps have problems now and show display errors, e. g. too big icons, etc.
Anyone know, how I can fix this?
Thank you!
- PsP

Try 544. it corrected the keyboard and notification bell but my phone app is still off. I also found that editing the build.prop was a better way to change DPI if you're rooted.

Thank you, but I have no problems with the notification bell (lockscreen) or the keyboard (I use Google keyboard app). Also the dialer works well (I use the Truecaller app but also stock looks fine).
I also do not want to root my A7 because I want it as stock as possible ... :/ I know, the build.prop would be the "better" way. But with the stock 640 dpi everything is so big ... :/
The most problems have third party apps like tinder (crashes) or Google allo (the profile picture in the top right corner if I open a chat is too big)

I'm using 510.
I've installed the google keyboard as the ZTE does not support it.

are you with TWRP + Rooted?
you can install Xposed and used Setting Apps Module allow you to change DPI per App which is one of the reason why i have xposed in any past device of mine.

I actually just changed my dpi to 560 and everything looks so much better! No errors, no goofy sized icons, everything seems to work.

I believe the native screen density is 538, no clue why they change it from there.

What isn't working with the notification bell? I'm on 560 DPI and have no problems with it - just with 3rd party apps like e. g. Google Allo, as i mentioned...

Your right, notification bell works great. Somebody mentioned earlier on the thread that it didn't work with 560 and I didn't have any notifications to test so I assumed they were correct. I've since gotten notifications and the bell works fine. Really enjoying 560!

Set it back to stock now because also apps like Snapchat or Instagram had problems with 560 dpi via adb shell wm ...
