When I enable clear type in landscape mode by editing the registery :
Changing the value of HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation from 1 to 0 it works BUT only for a while, then it reverts back to 0 and
I don't have clear type when I pull out the keyboard. Does anyone know how to make it stay? (it worked in the wizard without any problems)
Thanks.

I use nScriptm freeware from www.s-k-tools.com and a simple script. I made a shortcut in the startup folder to run this script w/o showing the console window.
BTW the same script sets PIE cache size to 4096MB for me - a value that is reset every boot as well.
Easy peasy...why make things harder
Download TwkCL from here...
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=2005022517002183
or if you can't just searchfor it.
Place it in your Windows - Startup folder.
Select it to run it, nothing will happen but it HAS ben enabled.
Then you simply soft-reset your device.
Et Voila! You have Cleartype always enabled in landscape mode.
It wouldnt work properly anyway... MS Cleartype counts on horizontal orientation of R-G-B triplet in LCD matrix, it can not do "vertical subpixel rendering", only horizontal.
So if you forcefully enable it in landscape, it would smooth text in perpendicular direction, making it more blurry instead of actual resolution enhancement.
Actually it works perfectly...the text looks EXACTLY the same either way.
Been using it ever since I had my JAM.
It doesnt. Surely, you see the difference, but only in Portrait it actually works as intended. In Landscape you get same result youll get if you grab a screenshot from Cleartype text and rotate it - if you'll read how cleartype actually works, you'll understand that this would obliterate the main idea of it.
Even MS said that numerous times. The only advantage you get in landscape is "smoother" fonts, but that came with drawback of reduced sharpness and also more visible "color outlines" on letters (while in portrait when cleartype works as intended sharpness is not reduced and color outlines is a lot less visible).
Read this article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleartype
It would help you to undestand the mechanics of it.
I actually found the answer to my own question. For the TyTN, you have to change HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\ROTATION\LandscapeMode from 1 to 0 and it'll stay. It works. No need to load any programs in the startup folder.
Ken
under gdi?
I can't find it, there's cleartypesetting and rotation, not rotation undercleartype.
Please clarify
Actually, don't you mean change the HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION value from 0 to 1? ClearType will be on in landscape mode then.
@Ingvarr: you are correct but it still looks better when ClearType is enabled IMO

I guess its up to personal preferences... Iam very color sensitive, I guess thats why I cant bear visible color smudges at fonts edges in landscape
I've just used Magic SS to take screenshots of each and it looks the same even after a side by side zoomed in comparison down to the last pixel.
It looks the same to me. Maybe I'm losing it.

Hi, does this actually stay for you?, I had that set awhile back, and it would revert to the oem settings after a few soft resets or shutdowns.
I also like cleatype in landscape on, I do understand why its off by default, but I guess its really up to ones own prefrences, I changed the system font, and the cleartype makes the font look much better, It could possibly be that I need to up the font size.
Just a tip..if anyone decides to play with the system font, put the font in your windows directory, not the fonts folder, maybe everyne else already knew this, but I used the fonts folder at first...and it worked, but caused glitches.
Sorry to ramble off topic for a bit.
No, I do mean change the value from 1 to 0
If it is at 1, Clear Type would not be enabled in Landscape mode
If it is at 0, Clear Type WOULD be ENABLED in Lanscape mode

This doesn't work for me.
At first, I made the new key as kittiyut instructed because there was no key in defalut:
HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/ROTATION/LandscapeMode and set its value to 1
But this didn't work anything.
And then, I changed registries as follows and it seems OK before I soft-reset with stylus.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
"OffOnRotation"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
"LandscapeMode"=dword:00000000
But after stylus reset, OffOnRotation=1 comes alive again.
I think TwkCL is the only solution for Hermes now.

Well, thats exactly what is wrong - you see, you take screenshots, that doesnt capture actual micro-lamp layout on your LCD screen - and this is what ClearType uses to actually _enhance_ resolution. To correctly see it, you should take _photos_ of screen
Read the Wikipedia page, you'll understand it It it would work properly, landscape one would be different from portrait - in landscape LCD triplets go in "vertical" way relatively to the text, while in portrait they go in horizontal way relatively to the text.

the correct tweak is HKLM/System/GDI /ClearTypeSettings and setting the onoffrotatation dword from 1 to 0
I myself just realized after your post that the key people had been changin doesn't exist, and it hadn't been mentioned to create one...no wonder people were sayin they couldn't find it, and it will revert back to 1 after a few resets anyhow, like you mentioned.
After much gnashing of teeth and fudging around with registry settings, I agree that TwkCL in startup seems to be the only way to get ClearType in landscape mode currently....
But none of these solutions does not work with AKU 3.3...
Edit: Works, works,... Need to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\GDI\ROTATION] "LandscapeMode"=dword :00000000
and copy TwkCL to startup.
Ok I was using spbTV and all of a sudden the screen got darker and every since then i haven't been able to brighten it.
It's only a problem when im plugged in.
I try to goto brightness on the backlight settings but power supply brightness isn't there, i can only adjust battery brightness.
I've already soft reset, removed SpbTv and still have the issue.
backup you contacts and whatnot then perform a hard reset
Same problem

Looks like this app is breaking our HD2s. SPB is a great company, I'm sure they will try and work out a fix if you let them know what happened.
Is this happening to anyone else using a different app?

I had the same thing happen to me. I had to do a factory reset. I could not find any way of bringing it back from that. I guess the guys at SPB didnt test it out on the HD2. They should be fixing it soon. I wondered if I was running spb mobile shell if it would have done the same!!?
i had the same problem i figured out how to fix it!
go to the registry
hkey current user
controlpanel
backlight
change acbrightness to 10
and
brightness to 10
save and exit
its fixed
now you have your sliders back
enjoy!
Thanks for that info radiohead7778580, it worked perfectly.
BIOYAM.
Thanks!!
I knew it was something in the registry but I'm far from an expert so I didnt want to go poking around in there. You saved me a reset. Thanks again
no problem glad i can help
All praise to you my friend! I had the same issue using SPB shell. Fixed perfectly! Thankss a million.
For those who do not want to mess with the Registry, I've added the Registry Settings into an easy to install CAB file. Just install to main memory and your Brightness sliders will be returned.
This sets your brightness to FULL (10) on both battery and AC power, so be sure to go in and adjust accordingly for your preferences.
How to adjust your DPI without root, I believe the current DPI is around 300 I could be wrong.
To adjust the DPI follow the steps below, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT.
Open settings and scroll all the way down to About
Open Software Information
Tap the build number quickly a couple times till it says "You're now a developer"
Head back into the main settings page and open the new Developer Options
Enable USB debugging
Install ADB on your computer (there are plenty of tutorials out there if you don't know how)
Start ADB and check if you see your device by typing
Code:
adb devices
If you see your phone go ahead and type
Code:
adb shell wm density 250
Reboot your phone to apply the effects system wide.
250 is the DPI set which I think looks the best for me. Adjust how you like it
NOTE: IT WILL LOOK WEIRD AT FIRST, REBOOT YOUR PHONE!
This is a great method. Use it often. Couple more commands:
Code:
adb shell wm density reset (set to default)
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 (emulate whatever resolution)
adb shell wm size reset (set to default)
What Screen Resolution have you chosen?

I noticed in the pics from your review consisted of smaller icons. I am assuming you changed the DPI to 250. I would like to know if you have tinkered with your screen resolution as well. If yes can you show us some screenshots? Does that have any other benefits like battery performance and processing speed?

Yes, you're correct the dpi was changed. There's no performance gain I see. I do this so I can fit more on the screen at once within apps, while browsing etc... For me this is half the value of an HD device - you can shrink stuff down to fit 2x as much, but tiny text still remains comfortably legible.
This can also be done within terminal emulator. For me, not successful unless entering su.
nice way to adjust animations on your phone..its now fast without the animation by the way i need help i accidentally touch the Logger Buffer Sizes....its under settings..developer options...scroll down you will see. logger buffer sizes...now there are number to choose from..64k..256k...1m...4m...16m.... now would like to ask if what is your default value in your phone"? want to do default...whats the diffence it do when you change those settings 64...256...etc....tnx

Mine is 256k. That should be how much data is held in the logs.
thanks...got it...it just goes to default by itself when closing developer option......
This is pretty cool, is there an adb command to readout the density what ever it's currently set at?
I ended up at 390, it gives a nice 5x5 grid.
Thanx, work fine! A little notice: Asus Powermanagment end in force closed when you change the DPI. Went back to orig. 480 and it works, when you need it
And next big issue Swift key doenst work with changed DPI. When changed i saw only a few very!! big letters. Keyboard not useable.
Thanks OP!
The issue with swiftkey is well known and documented, just search Google for it (XDA says I don't have enough posts to post links yet). It looks like there's a fix, but it requires root. I switch to the Google keyboard and it works fine with modified DPI.
FYI, density setting of 460 is the lowest (stock is 480) that will keep the widget width taking up the whole screen for wide widgets. Makes everything a little sharper than stock, which was needed.
The hardware keys below the screen also stop working when the screen resolution is changed.

As for swiftkey, you could probably use xposed appsettings to adjust its dpi/dp settings.

Try a different DPI. 480 is extreme and some apps simply won't work properly at such a high setting.
After doing this, how to revert to the original one???

What is the lowest possible DPI that we can go to for this phone?
I am coming from LG G3 using 520 DPI. I set the font size at 403 DPI for this phone and it seems to be quite large.

Are there any options for lowering the dpi with the stock rom? I have been digging through the options but haven't seen anything yet.

Good evening, I changed phone in December and I have a Samsung s8 in perfect condition that I would like to pass to my wife, but turning it back on after time I noticed that on the left display stands an annoying white stripe at the edge of the vertical curve .. Right now. Done the various tests both normal and in safe mode and ascertained that the problem is hardware (having it checked by a Technician) my question is: is there a way to disable that line of pixel?
Being a peripheral area of the display is therefore not always used I would prefer at this point to be turned off because in the dark it really bothers .. Thanks to those who will help me ..
It looks like hardware damage.
I know.. That's why I wanted to try to modd the measurements of the display in such a way as to "turn off" the curves, or blacken them, and leave the rest of the display on... Always if it can be done
Check if Samsung allows you to run WindowManager. If it does, the change is permanent and remains after rebooting the phone.
The simplest description of how it works is here:
Android display offset/change position
Is it possible to offset the entire display content / change its position using adb shell? As i recently noticed it is possible to change the resolution . adb shell wm size <Res>. So , i was
stackoverflow.com
Play with the settings and you will see how easy it is.
You can always restore the settings with the command
Code:
adb shell wm overscan reset

Small update... I managed to get the adb command prompt to work. I did some tests of shrinking the size of the display that succeeds very well, but that strip of pixels remains on ... Maybe I get the command wrong and I don't have to act on the Size?
In the adb shell just write wm then you will see the available options. You need the overscan option.
p.s.
You can only hide the white stripe with black adhesive tape.
