I am running Darky rom 10.2 with touchwiz4 and have installed nitrality.
I love the look of my phone with dpi set to 182 rather than the native 240 resolution however, when i implement this, the tw4 launcher only takes up the top half of the screen and the lockscreen isn't resized correctly.
I would be very grateful if one of you genii out there could help me to modify the tw4 launcher and the lockscreen so that it will look in keeping with this dpi setting.
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Its because the touchwiz4 launcher is for the gs2 which has a higher resolution than out sgs

you should set it to 190 ... then you'll most likely be fine ...
Try some other launcher like Zeam or Go Launcher They do good in any dpi.
Hey Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher in the Chinese ICS Rom on my Note but my wallpapers dont scale properly at all! I have the correct resolution on em. In Fact all of them are downloaded from the wallpaper section in XDA for Note. They scale perfectly in TW launcher but not in Nova. Anyone knows why? Any setting I am missing? Please help! I love this launcher!
Hi,
I set wallpaper from stock wallpaper gallery and it scale fine.
I still using the default option in nova and not yet change dpi or any display settings in this ics chinese rom.
Have you change something before?

No, did not change anything!
I have found this with another launcher (ssLauncher). When selecting from the gallery the size went completely wrong.
I selected from another source (Pic Viewer perhaps?) and it was set perfectly.
Try launching the new gallery app from drawer - the one with the red-purplish icon - and setting your homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper from there.
That's the way I'm doing it, and it scales images just fine.
Use Quickpic to set wallpaper. Works flawlessly.....

I am having the exact same problem
By any chance, did you guys install ADW Launcher before installing this ROM?
My wallpaper scaling problems started when I installed ADW......fixed them by installing another rom and doing a full wipe.
Also, you can use quick pic or wallpaper wizardrii from the market (both are free)
Btw,
which link did you use to download the ics leak rom......I downloaded the torrent one but I lose root access ? I'd be grateful if you could give me the link.
Many thanks
I never use adw on my ics rom, just install nova after tw launcher and never have any issue with wallpaper.
I use repacked version from chainfire, its rooted and cwm included. You can download it here (torrent) :
ftp://tor:[email protected]/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar.torrent
I have the CF repack too but I am still having problems with scaling. The temp solution I have is setting the wallpaper with Tw launcher and then switching to nova. But still after some app exits the wallpaper scales back to its zoomed state and i do the whole thing again. Dunno what seems to be the problem. love this launcher a lot to give up for this scaling problem

what about go launcher..saw many ICS theme for go launcher
I am also having an issue with 1.00. The top of the wallpaper is cut-off or underneath the notification bar. I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
guys i hope i solved ur issues....read the following
The native screen resolution is 720 x 1280, but native wallpapers are actually 1440 x 1280 because of scrolling. However, Android always forces you to crop your wallpaper to "their dimensions". So, if you are using a static wallpaper setting like Nova, you need to tweak your wallpapers.
Basically, you want to embed a 720 x 1280 wallpaper on a 1440 x 1280 background. Then when you go to set the wallpaper, you stretch the cropping tool to its MAX size and it cuts out the "excess" background leaving only your 720 x 1280 image.

Just flashed my Note with the iMilkas ICS ROM. After that I installed the ROM ToolBox and with that wanted to change the resolution. Entered the density option and changed it from 320 to 240. Rebooted and everything went fine.
The thing now is that the launcher only allows 4x4 icons grid.
So my question is if there is somehow I can change it to 5x8 or something like that?
Have tried the ADW Launcher Pro but it didn't help.

Use apex launcher or nova launcher.

Hi
I am currently on latest version of ICS Stunner with the WizDom13 0.6 Kernel
Everything was working fine until i wanted to change some of the navbar settings so i went into Euphoria Control and changed some but nothing seemed to change even after reboot. So i went back into Euphoria Control and pressed the Reset Navbar link and now it has disappeared.
It looks to appear briefly and still shows notifications when i use a launcher shortcut for that but otherwise doesnt show up.
Is there any way to get this back without having to do a full reset?
I am using Apex launcher and currently have DPI set to 200 with a grid of 6 x 9
Just change dpi to. 320 then Navbar show option becomes available. Then change back to prefered dpi.

Hello,
I used rom toolbox to lower LCD density from 240 to 190, as a result I got much more usable space on phone because all the icons are smaller and much more content can fit on screen while everything is still readable.
There can be some bugs that have to be fixed by custom launchers so heres my setup:
-Official ICS V30a rooted rom
-apex launcher
-grid size set to one higher than stock
-rom toolbox pro (free version works as well)
-(UPDATE 1) widgetlocker for lockscreen
Only bug that apears with this setup is on a lockscreen, transparen gradiant is small, visible and ugly but Im gonna fix that with custom lockscreen and update you on that.
Have you ever tried this? Whats your experience?
Heres how to do this:
ROOT REQUIERED!
Get rom toolbox, go to performance, click build.prop, click file icon upper left in top action bar and you will see LCD density. Set it to 190, reboot. Then play arround with launcher to make it look good.
UPDATE 1: I used widgetlocker to configure lockscreen and that completes the setup.
