Hi,
My second screen app icons periodically get really small (and kinda ugly) for no apparent reason. Then they get back to normal size also rather randomly. One way to get them back to normal is to turn off and on app icons.
I have no idea why this happens, and I don't even know how to take a screenshot of the second screen to show what it looks like.

I am working on mods for second screen(currently have partial text color control) and would like to see what your talking about?
This post has instructions for added Second screen to screenshots.
Also, it seems like I may have seen a setting for on/off app icons, but can't recall where?
Install another theme.this is unofficial themes issue.

What is this potato you speak of? Haha
This is 100% a theming property. I wouldn't really say "issue" or "error" as much as I would say mistake, and that's o lt in the eye of the beholder.
This is a value setting within the theme itself.
The themer has set the theme to draw app icons on top of a series of backgrounds and they set the icon to be drawn at a percentage of the default app icon.
What I'm saying is the theme will, in this case, reduce the app icon to a smaller size then place it on top of one of the themes bg's.
Some icons have bg's as part of the actual app icon and some have only the icon (see attatched samples). Obviously icons that do not have a bg will blend into themes easier because the themes bg option will look more intended.
There are several options to fix this, but only one being easy.
1. The easy one does not get to keep the theme, you must change the theme to something that is visually acceptable to you
2. This is an option for users that have some experiance swapping images in an apk. Find the app which has an icon you don't like and use 7zip to open the apk and swap the image for one that appeals to your taste. Problem here is that thing can get overridden every time the apps gets updates. This can also trigger package errors due to signatures values and changes from original size.
3. Knowledge or modding a decompiles apk using apktool is required for this one.
Located the themes common.apk and decompile it.
Within the decompiled folders you will find a values folder, open the integer.xml and change this value to the value that fits your needs best (100 being 100% or the full original size) <integer name="config_icon_ratio_as_theme">65</integer>.
There are other ways that can do what you are wanting done, you just have to get creative with it!
You ask "how to take screenshots or second screen? You've asked this question twice now, obviously without reading the reply to the question the first time.
I persoanlly answered the question by pointing you to the link where you have options on how to add the feature you want.
This is a development community and i suggest spending a little more time reading and you'd be surprised with gow much you can find by doing a quick search.
So in summary, change you theme or learn to edit decompiled app with apktool.
Read every reply ro questions you ask so you and the people who take the time out of their days to answer you don't have to repeat themselves.

Good luck, good day and hope that sums up your question here

The problem is, this size keeps changing randomly. I haven't changed the theme in 2 months, but the size switches between the correct size and the tiny one every few days. The theme itself is the 'Default Black' theme that came with the phone.

I saw the comment, replied to the first part but happened to miss that part out. Thanks for that.
Attaching clearer pics to demonstrate the size difference.
Again it doesn't happen when the theme is applied. The theme has been applied from the beginning.. It's the dark one that came with the phone.. The problem comes and goes randomly.
Same here! Usually it happens when I've moved around an app icon, doesn't matter if it's moved onto the second screen or onto a homescreen.
A restart usually resets the size to normal.
u/stangdriver44 u/3mL : I have found the reason for this.
It's due to the modification of DPI I did on the main screen. It seems this setting is inherited by the second screen off and on. I just reduced my DPI further to 400 and the second screen icons got even smaller.
Others have also reported this issue. (As on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comm...e_the_size_of_the_navigation_buttons/dnj6dko/)
Is there a way to de-link the DPI of the second screen with that of the first?
Im trying to reduce the size of those buttons, can youpeovide the dpi and resolution that you are at?

The one in the photo was at 420. I'm currently at 400, which makes for some really tiny icons.
EDIT: please note, that this resizing isn't constant, it gets turned on and off like a boolean such that sometimes it stays small, then returns to normal for a while.

Is there a widget/widget combination, which looks like the clock you get when you do the unlock pattern. I really like the font. I also attached an image of a lock screen (I think the default android lock screen)which uses the same font.
I tried searching but looks like this is just too much for a search engine to figure out.
Thank you for the help.
I think the "beautiful widgets" clock uses the same font.

I think the beautiful widgets is not free, which means I can't install it legally, I can't pay for apps in my country, and the marker only shows free ones. Using the barcode scanner from the original site didn't work either.

Yes, it costs ~ 2$. I didn't know they were legal issues with paying on market in some countries. Too bad Where are you from ?
My clumsy English made that sound wrong...
It's not illegal as you get in jail, it's just not supported, enabled or allowed. By illegal I meant the only way for me to get that app is, you know, warez and stuff. The country is Slovenia.
Update: I found that the font for the desired clock is Clockopia, a subset of Storopia.
The quiestion is, is there a clock widget that allows you to select a font?
Hello. I have made a clock widget witch uses clockopia font. Tell me if you are interrestet. It is not on the market.

Thanx for sharing
Thank you for letting us test this app.
Here is a little feedback, don't take it the wrong way, I believe that you want to improve your app .
1. The clock is smaller than the area it uses (the 2x1 grid is filled about 50%, this makes the clock really small and there is a lot of unused space around it.),
2. I notice it is sometimes "out of sync". It isn't much of a problem because I've never seen be more than a minute away.
Please, do not take this as offensive criticism, I want to help you in your development of this great project.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

It seems that i might not be the right version you got.
The current version uses 4x1 layout, and updates every .5 minute.
I'm using the one you uploaded here. I will try to redownload and reinstall and report back.
PS: because it updates every 30s, it can sometimes display as a minute off (compared to the system clock in the top right.)

It *does* let you set the whole picture as your wallpaper -- it just doesn't show the entire wallpaper at once. That's by design, and for good reason.
Think about it for a second. When you rotate the tablet, you don't want your wallpaper sideways, so it has to rotate too. Unless the wallpaper gets stretched when it is rotated or has black bars at the edges (neither of which you would want), then there's no way around the fact that the tablet has to crop the wallpaper to fit it to the screen.
It's slightly complicated further by the fact that when you swipe between home pages, Android moves the "window" into the wallpaper slightly to give a sense of motion, thereby visually reinforcing the change between home pages. There's a setting to disable visual effects that *might* change that; I've not done so because I quite like it, so I can't say for sure whether it can be disabled.
It's easy-peasy to make good wallpapers for the TF, though. All you need to do is confirm the overall size, choose an image that works well for both landscape and portrait modes, and size it appropriately. (I don't remember the size offhand, but it's been mentioned in these forums before, so a search will find it.)

I have the same problem. I have tried it on the Xoom and the New Sammy 10.1 at the store...same thing. If your trying to use a picture from the gallery that you downloaded no matter the resolution it won't display the whole pic. To get a picture in the larger resolution I find one on the internet and long press and choose set as wallpaper. That's about the only way that works. I think it's a bug in Honeycomb..if it's not then its a poor way to do wallpaper from the gallery. I'm a photographer mostly for fun but it's not hard to see that it's only able to expand to a part of any resolution and then it is grainy looking because it's zoomed up too large on screen. I've even had it show the smaller crop as a smaller picture at the correct resolution on the screen with the black background around it...still not the whole picture. Sorry IMO ...BUG.

If you make it the right size, it *will* work. I know it will, because I made my own wallpaper and it fits perfectly.
If you set a picture as wallpaper using gallery it will ask you which part of the pic you want as the homescreen background and such. If you're thinking of stretching the picture, forget about it.

I have used like 10 different ones some that were like 1280 x 1000 to 2500 x 1500, or something like that.
I've tried all possible resolution of my pics and none fit the full screen without crop or loosing a quality.
But this works for me perfect
All u need is this app MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and its free
So how to ?
-long press on homescreen
-than go to Wallpaper->Live Wallpaper and select MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
-select Setting and set your folder with your wallpapers
Done
This app actually changing the wallpapers in particular time but u can also sett it to use only one picture if u don't like changing
There is a lot more settings what u can play with if u like
So enjoy
There are apps out there that allow you to use the full image.
thats what I mean
but not all apps works as it should or as u want it

I wonder if you can make a system folder that lets you add wallpapers to it so that they show up along side the stock wallpapers. I did this with notifications I made three folders on my SD card each inside of the next media/audio/notifications and that let me add sounds so that they showed up along side the stock ones. Another way would be to use the app Rings Extended.

Yeah, I load it into paint shop pro and increase the canvas to much larger. Ie, say the picture is 1280x800 i expand it to say 4000x4000 - then i can pick the area i want when cropping on the tablet

Hi,
anyone know how we can get the "normal" size of the icon provided with SlimICS ?
Actually the icons are very small and dont find a solution by downloading some fonts provided by the OTA but that changed nothing :/
Regards
Change the current dpi 182 to 240 dpi.. There is setting to change dpi somewhere in `Settings`, cant tell you where exactly since I am not using it !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
i try and will keep you inform as soon as i will success thus this will help another one.
The solution is here :
after that ; reboot and then the image are now at the expected size !
On my side I've use ES Explorer and to be able to modify the file, i've mounted the system to be writable.

There is actually a much easier way built into the phone.
Go to settings, ASS, general UI then in here you should see a section which says LCD Density. Click it and you will be given a list of what to do to change it in the correct order to do it. Follow that and you should be fine.
Thanks !
I didnt see it before. Too many little precious things hidden in this rom
haha yeah it is a bit over whelming at times. I don't touch half of the settings.
For sure, it's true !
Should ask this in the SLIM ICS instead imho!
Before I flash Slim I always first edit build.prop (in system folder in essentials zip) and change lcd density value to 240. Starts up the way I like it right away.
Icons on the SGH-I337 so small I can't see!

I am having same issue
Hey guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to modify the existing AOD for more options.
For example: I couldn't care less about the clock, I'm wearing and using a watch anyway.
It would be nice if one could lay his smartphone onto the table with it beeing completly black except when you have notifications.
Something like in the picture I've quickly put together.
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4959/6ckdllab_png.htm
Are there any roms which support this? Is it even possible to modify the Samsung AOD in that way or would one have to write a new app?
For now im using a black screen with the LED but that's suboptimal.
Thank you very much,

Yeah I just took any picture on the internet and photoshopped it to show what I'm looking for.
This ambient display feature would be perfect if it would use the advantages of the S8 Display,
meaning lighting up particular pixels the whole time and not areas of the screen for a small time.

This isn't bad if you try to build such app but AFAIK and untill now, it is nearly impossible to build such app. You probably won't get exact source code for AOD because most things are hard-coded. Even, if you manage to get code, modify it and build your desired app it will be hard or impossible to install it over pre-installed AOD app. Kind of complicated, but you can still try, maybe you end up being Samsung hero.

Install activity launcher from playstore.
inside activity launcher search and launch:
cn.nubia.theme.local.ThemeActivity
this will show the preinstalled themes. choose "colorfull international" for round icons.
cn.nubia.gamecenter.settings.records.RecordSettingActivity
this will allow to switch the quality of the screenrecorder from sd to full hd.
com.qualcomm.qti.qcolor.QColorActivity
this will let you choose between all 8 color modes of the screen.
cn.nubia.factory.ChooseFpsActivity
here you can enable 120hz for the screen. It will apply once you leave the menu. standard settings and the refreshrate notification won't show the new value.
you can see that 120hz is working by dimming your screen and toggling between 144hz and 120hz and entering recents screen eachtime you changed the value. The brightness of the grey Background in the menu will be different.
To use the standard refreshrate settings again you must enable "default auto Fps" in the hidden menu.
cn.nubia.factory.FactoryTestQuickFan
here you can see the actual fan speed. Yes its + - 15k rpm.
You can create shortcuts to these menus by longpressing on the desired Activity.
Tested on global 4.05 rom.
there are allot more hidden features like battery percentage in status bar, fingerprint calibration settings and battery stats. But they don't seem to work properly.

This right here makes such a huge difference for me, I normally don't like having icons on my home screen, I generally use Linux CLI Laucher and just quickly type in whatever app I want to open, but because you can't change the launcher on this phone, I'm stuck using the default one, so I only have some icons in the dock, and one of those icons is YouTube Studio, which uses a gear icon, and all the rest of the icons that were applied by default for the other dock apps I use are all square so I just had one random icon that didn't match, and this solved that.
This is a golden find right here, really good job on this.

Install activity launcher from playstore.
inside activity launcher search and launch:
cn.nubia.theme.local.ThemeActivity
this will show the preinstalled themes. choose "colorfull international" for round icons.
cn.nubia.gamecenter.settings.records.RecordSettingActivity
this will allow to switch the quality of the screenrecorder from sd to full hd.
com.qualcomm.qti.qcolor.QColorActivity
this will let you choose between all 8 color modes of the screen.
cn.nubia.factory.ChooseFpsActivity
here you can enable 120hz for the screen. It will apply once you leave the menu. standard settings and the refreshrate notification won't show the new value.
you can see that 120hz is working by dimming your screen and toggling between 144hz and 120hz and entering recents screen eachtime you changed the value. The brightness of the grey Background in the menu will be different.
To use the standard refreshrate settings again you must enable "default auto Fps" in the hidden menu.
You can create shortcuts to these menus by longpressing on the desired Activity.
Tested on global 4.05 rom.
there are allot more hidden features like battery percentage in status bar, fingerprint calibration settings and battery stats. But they don't seem to work properly.

Just to confirm that the 120Hz is real, can you go to https://testufo.com/ and see what results you get?
Also, can you post the output of "adb shell dumpsys display" ?

Guys I changed my theme and I now have the rounded icons. If I want to go back to the default square icons, how do I do that? I deleted cache and data for the launcher but it didn't change the icons back to the default square ones. Any idea?

the first theme inside the menu i guess.
I attached the screenshots. It doesn't list any theme or icons that were the original square ones. Any ideas how to go back to the original stock ones?

"simple clouds" enables the squares. and if you mean they looked differently whic i can't tell i think only a factory reset will restore.

Wait I don't get it, how does changing to round icons make your life so much easier?
I think there's a normal non-hidden interface for screen recording quality under more features > supersnap

yes but it doesnt allow 1080 p you can see this by checking details of the Recorded video. it will only be full hd once you choose it in the hidden menu.
Worth noting that you don't need to install activity launcher or anything, really, if you have adb (which my device came with by default(!) but you can get through developer options)
Just make sure to separate package name from activity name, e.g. :
am start-activity -n cn.nubia.theme.local/.ThemeActivity
am start-activity -n com.qualcomm.qti.qcolor/.QColorActivity
etc.
(also works as "adb shell am start-activity -n cn.nubia.theme.local/.ThemeActivity"), etc

I'm sure my guide is easier
and you would'nt be able to guess any of these things inside adb. so you need the app in first place to find these things anyways. i dont understand what you try to prove. It doesnt make sense to use adb for such easy things you can do inside an app. it's like you're saying "you dont have to go into settings to turn on wifi i can do it with adb" :silly:
you're just jelly i found this stuff with some guys on telegram and there is no credit for you. you would'nt find anything in your adb if i didnt post this. get your mind right before you say this is worthless. my phone didnt come with adb i don't know whats wrong with your device... don't even bother replying it makes no sense and i will not go further in detail with you.
Wow. No good deed goes unpunished, eh?
Nobody's trying to steal anyone's credit. I'm just saying that some folks like myself who do not want to install anything (so as to keep the device pristine as possible) would maybe like to know of alternate ways to trigger activity. The am way works anywhere, not just on the Nubia activities.
Let go of the jealousy and the flames, man. Just trying to help people out. Take your credit, upvote yourself, be happy. The world has enough strife and complication already to get into pointless bickering.

i didnt start the fire (...Worth noting that you don't need to install activity launcher...)
as you see it's worth something, or there were no such commands for you to type inside adb.
made me a lil angry, it's fine.

I don't have the phone yet, however I'm already trying to catch up.
So are all those icons change possibilities available? they look pretty good.

Yes. You can follow the instructions on this thread to gain access to the hidden themes already present on the device. Also, you can download the theme.apk app from the Chinese ROM that allows additional options https://forum.xda-developers.com/nu...d-magic-5-software-limitations-t4088015/page4
i spotted a service that will show the actual fan speed. its in the op.
