Hi, is it possible to flash buil.prop through CWM ? The idea is I would like to play with the DPI, but I know some values can mess up the system so that the ROM doesn't boot anymore. So the idea is to have a safe and working build.prop as flashable through VWM so that I can experiment without the threat of having to reinstall the whole ROM.
Is that doable ? and would it be sufficient to boot again on a ROM if I put a bad value as DPI ?
Thanks
I may be wrong, but afair one of the DPI apps available on Market, had an option whether to reapply the change on boot
if I'm correct, then you could test the density without risk

I didn't find the app (searched for "DPI" and "density") but one of the app had a description saying you can restore build.pro through adb...so i'll look in that direction.
LCD density will allow you to test a dpi before applying it. Its on play store.

Well, it almost works. I'm on (TW based) Criskelo's v8, changed the DPI to 213, first with LCD density and then with ROM toolbox. I thought it would just boot loop, but
- except for touchwiz, launchers (Go, zeam, adw, apex (small area usuable on desktop though, but maybe it's supposed to work that way)) are ok,
- the s-apps I want work ok : camera, FM radio (I tried S-memo just for the sake of it, it has that well known lines problem)
- s-calendar was replaced by AOSP calendar and it works fine..though I don't see any difference with phone version...maybe because it was not "correctly" installed ?
- gmail, settings, kindle, chrome work as expected in tablet mode. Kindle had to get an update to work in tablet mode, before that it showed the regular phone version.
Now what doesn't work :
- I got that "UI.syst stopped" on every boot (don't care much about it)
- s-contacts doesn't work ! unfortunately I couldn't find a working AOSP contacts.apk, maybe that would work
- s-phone works so that's more important than s-contacts, but the layout is messed up, and you can't use contacts inside the app of course. Unfortunately I don't know of a AOSP dialer for TW roms,
- most annoying negative point to me : status bar doesn't show ! that may be the deal breaker for me.
I went to TW roms because I was tired of little things that didn't work in AOSP based roms, so if I can't find solutions for at least s-contacts and status bar, that's it for me I won't go any further in my quest of TW + tablet mode apps.

For the dialler, can you set one handed operation in settings (possibly under accessibility) that usually brings it back under operational state. Not sure about a fix for tw contacts though. There are alternative contacts and dialler apps in play store if you search dialler.
Use an alternative launcher for status bar? Recommend adw or launcher7 if you like windows phone layout, both work well. Adw probably more suitable for tablet dpi.

Unfortunately I tried an alternative dialer from the market, it displayed contacts correctly but FC'd as soon as I clicked on a contact, so I think it relies somehow on the TW contact app or framework. As for the status bar, it's never displayed whatever launcher I tried (Go, adw,zeam, apex,launcher pro), so I guess it's part of the framework and not of the launcher.

UPDATE: Because of my full time schedule, support of this is stopped. There are currently other devs involved in Tablet UI and i am glad that they have time and do it better then me. Its time to stop for now. Thank to all of you that downloaded the ROM and if you liked it, i am glad. I am happy that i was the first one that shoved you the possibilities of TW roms with Tablet features, and i am also happy that there are people that see the Note1 as a device that deserves such UI and keep TW functionality - now we, that loved before Paranoid minitablet have now also the option of TW tablet.

Follow XPERIACLE in his threads and probably he will reelase also a ROM based on Tablet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This used to be a TouchWiz ROM with ported features from Samsung Tablets - they claim their tablets as real multitaskers, so we have here rom ported in Tablet style that perform almost the same multitasking features.
Tablets apps are more often better than phone apps, but some of the tablets can not make calls. Note is unique device, which can make calls and other smart things – it is still a Phone (a BIG one) but with all tablet apps, only than it can be a Phablet!!!
Now all ported apps from NOTE 10,1 - N8000 are from official JB
What you will get in this ROM:
XXLS7 Jelly Bean leak – thanks to Rupiah, Eybee1970, Philz, Bangsti and others
Full TW tablet interface what some of you might know if you own Samsung tablet.
MultiWindow feature with 5 options of Multiwindowed layout
MiniApps – as of v0,1/0,2 - they are not in present in v0,3 - but easily you can go back to miniapps when yoi like.
S planner ported from NOTE 10,1 official JB - offers some more functionality!!! Has its own miniapp
WebBrowser ported from NOTE 10,1
Contacts and better dialer from NOTE 10,1
Some more tablet apps....
Gallery with AirView from N10,1
Properly scaled Splanner here - thanks raj_ch2002 for helping out!!! - press him a thanks button, for good job and interest!
Little ROM preview here - thanks to hamdogg (hopefully he can manage one more preview with multiwindowing from the miniapp tray - and the main thing what i miss in the review - WINDOWS!!!)
CHANGE LOG: (more info in post2)
V 0,1 – initial release (preview purpose)
V 0,2 - full rom base on leak XXLS2. Expect the same performance.
V 0,3 - XXLS7 base, preview of windowed style of apps.
Flash metod – same way as any other JB leak. Kernel is Philz so no need to worry. Thanks to him!
Wipe Cache, Dalvik and data. (i usually also format SYSTEM on the top of wipe)
Please do not post in this thread which kernel is safe and what should you wipe. Please post bugs only if you FULL WIPED!!!
When the rom boots up, please open SuperSu app and let it update Su binary!!!
Caution!!!
Please head over to post3. I am not responsible if you brick you phone, you know that you do everything on your own risk.
So we learned what are miniapps in v0,1/v0,2 - in v0,3 they are not to used anymore, but they are still present!!! Miniapps is separate app with its own layout and "reduced" functionality in opposite to the main app!!!
For the future, samm will use probably some kind of "downscalling" for all of their apps in order to use the Main app in Ministyle! So we use stock app, just scaled down to "miniapp" dimensions. You can then revert to fullscreen or go back to mini! Some of you will like it, some of you might preffer old miniapps.
V0,3 uses in the miniapp tray option to choose 5 options, how the app will be handled in screen.
3rd party apps does not have official support for this thing - probably not yet It is easy to implement this function for the app developpers so i believe in the future they will include it in their apps. You might look here what is doing the trick!
1. Widnowed - option to resize, fulscreen and go back to mini.
2. Half to Half - you can also resize size of the apps when you use stock FlashBar feature. (you can not resize when the FlashBar is deleted)
3 + 4 are 2/1 layout - uselles i thing
5 - 4square layout - also too small for our screen
This feature comes from the Tab2-7 systemUi where samsung planned also for the leaked N10,1 JB this layout - but what i saw, they dropped this and left only windowed and half/half layout on official JB for N10,1.
So most usefull option might be Windowed style and half by half - which you can use the same way as on stock.
For the every app we can set the default size (displayed when you open it) and minimum size (smallest size you can downscale) So it is matter of choice how who like it so i ve done for the start and preview (have limited time for this) only:
Calculator, Gallery - modded default size as minumum - so it will open all the time at its minimum size stated!
Messaging - opens at stated default size and you can swype then to lover size!
Sory for more i had no time...
All other ported apps from N10,1 appear a bit bigger and can not be downscaled - yet. But some stock XXLS7 stock apps have this ability and are styled a bit smaller. So matter of time to style the default/minimum size of the app.
Here it is done: Dimension.xml
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>
These dimension are used for Calculator and Gallery - you see the both are same default+minimum - that means default size ist the smallest one and you can resize. When you state default a bit bigger - app open bigger and you can downscale.
V0,3 changelog:
Apps from Official JB Note 10,1
Splanner - AirView fixed, NEW functionality - hover the dot of the stylus on the number of the day - Small Smemo note will pop up.
Calculator
Contacts and dialer Layout
Gallery - with AirView
Browser
Messaging
Myfiles
Snote - works as well but breaks some other functions so i kept the stock N1 Snote - i rechecked it and they both offers the same functionality.
Launcher ADW - this one is really great on JB.
All other apps kept - but remember, there are really uselles widgets and bloat that keep running, so clean up the rom as you like.
Email - kept the stock one for now cause works now with Contacts, and does not have the Copy/paste bug.
Fixes of XXLS7 - i did not followed threads, so this is the first base from Bangsti with no fixes at all.
This ROM come stock at 213dpi. You can not go 214 and more - you probably will loose some functionalities.
Base is Bangstis XXLS7 - stable base and better when you completely debload and keep only things you really need.
Found bugs v0,3:
Toggle for multiwindow missing.
MassStorage doesnt work.
Gallery - ported from N10,1 - works AirView, but take a write the photo with Spen FCs - (works only when you tweak B.prop to be as N8000 device.
Launcher is also from N10,1 - full tablet, but ADW is there - this is the best now to date, so keep that one.
In v0,3 is still the stock FlashBar and + the miniapptray...
Way how u use Multiwindow in v0,3.
You choose the way you are going to multiwindow in the miniapptray - open the tray, click the small 4squares icon and 5 options will roll out - choose side/side icon and you can all the time use the stock flashbar as u used on stock - swype an app to the part of the screen.
When you choose windowed style, stock multiwindow dont work then and all the apps will open in windows.

Thanks, We are waiting........ F5 F5 F5
Cool..looks really promising...congrats and thx a lot for sharing airview fix!!!
Edit: i will flash as soon as available
Tried the airview fix on RR v1. It worked but Gallery was not starting anymore claiming it did not have enough space as well as could not save new Note anymore. My free sys space is 33 mb. Deleted the file from the etc/permission/ folder everything got back to normal. Any suggestion?

Greetings, lovely xda community!
I am very happy with all the solutions and innovations I find on these forums.. I am on Ultimate v5 at the moment..
Lately, caught more of the DPI changing texts, from 320 to 240..
But, apparently these is DPI change for apps and for the whole screen of the Note..
So, since my understanding is limited, what I hope to be able to do is to change general DPI of the screen, so that I would be able to put more apps per one homescreen.. I mean, I like Note`s big screen real estate, but there is too much empty space between the apps icons, so maybe something like 6x6 would be better than the usual 5x5... (hmm. I wanted to add attachment of my screenshots of the present state of my screen and homescreens/app icons, but none of the message edit and attachment buttons do not work )..
Anyway, I tried some dpi changers and density changers from Play store.. Boy, I barely managed to get the phone working normally again.. I just made the keyboard pop up with massive numbers and only upper 30 percent of the normal keyboard..
now back to normal..
so, how can I do it? I do not need to run tablet apps,so I do not need dpi change that allows me to download tablet apps from play store..
I would like to fit more icons on the homescreen...
How is that done?
By the way, I did google and search this forum, but it mostly speaks about dpi change for apps..
And ok, there is the "edit build prop", but is that what I need for my intentions, and how can I do it.. and possible negative consequences?
Thanks for stopping and answering!
Peace out...
Hi there, some apps look better in certain dpi modes than others.
I suggest you look at the rom "paranoid android 3 build by beerbong" in the original android development section of the n7000 forum at xda.
Its an aosp rom (google android without the samsung stuff) and it allows changing the dpi of the whole phone (phone, phablet and tablet mode) and changing the dpi of apps alone.
Its a work of art and i suggest you take a look at that rather than messing around with buildprop editors. Goodluck!

Thanks for the reply.. But, I kind of reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyyy like to have Touchwiz...
Welcome.
I have a question for you.
Well, I have your P7310 stock ics and I have a little problem.
Well, on the desktop and drawer status bar just lags - lack of liquidity.
Complete declines animation.
In any other application running smoothly just a launcher lag.
Do you also have such problems.
Is there any possibility of swapping statusbar from another rom eg AOSP CM10.1?
The easiest thing to try would be a different launcher. I like Holo HD, but there are other good ones too. You can try replacing the SystemUI.apk, but you need to replace two libraries as well. AAccount posted them in one of his threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38088583&postcount=1135
You will need root access, and a root browser type app, and this may make your system unstable, so I would recommend installing a custom recovery and making a nandroid backup first.
Of course I have tried other launcher.
Only in Nova Launcher it a little better:
Desktop - the status bar work really bad
Drawer - the status bar work perfetct
Only issue with desktop :/
Tried to replace the files that are above?
This helped to something.
And one more thing.
What is the exact path of the files.
All I know is that you must put the SystemUI.apk to system / app
And the rest of the files do not know where to move.
I would ask for a little help.
I have a custom recovery, backup made so I am calm.
Now, the question is not about.
I was happy to at CM10.1 RC2 but unfortunately it seems STOCK ICS is faster as can be seen in games.
Is throwing another kernel to be something CM10.1 helped performance in games, etc.
Sorry for bad english
You could try to change animation speed in developers options, and/or you could try Addem1234's CM9-ROM (with AA's 1.8.7-kernel).
I believe they go in system/framework.
I have had no problems with lag with CM10.1 and it's default kernel, even in games. I just had to use extended desktop to hide the nav bar and set the status bar to autohide. In addition, I overclocked and made various memory tweaks, as well as installed crossbreeder. Finally, I don't use the persistent search bar, but I add the widget separately to all of my screens. Each of these things may have helped a little or not at all, but all together, they give me a system with which I am very happy.
I used all these same settings on cm9, and I see little to no difference.
Addem1234 cm-9 is faster than CM10.1 C-o-M ?

I think they are pretty comparable when I get them set up properly. CM9 is starting from a faster place, I will grant that. In a fully optimized configuration, I am hard pressed to see a significant difference.
Bought a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE 2 days ago. Beautiful device with great screen, but:
First thing you realize is the small font size in several apps, such as Facebook. Barely readable.
Tried to use larger font size in settings. That did some effect on some fonts, but no consistent result.
Same with the Big Font app - font sizes and overall appearance becomes inconsistent.
So the only way seemed to change DPI Settings. Which required rooting.
I did the CF autoroot thing. And fiddled with DPI settings using Texdroider app. Originally was 220 DPI. I tried 420 DPI.
Unfortunately after reboot, I was stuck at "systemui angehalten" error message, and touch screen did not respond to input.
Unfortunately I could not switch off the device (to reboot), pressing power button for ever gave no effect.
Since you cannot remove the battery on this device I had to let it run down completely over night. Then booting into Recovery (or Download Mode) was possible again.
Tried a full wipe in Recovery an rebooted. But endless systemui crash loop remained.
Will try to re-flash via Odin to get it back working.
So this thread is firstly a warning if anybody wants to change DPI settings on the Tab S.
Then some questions:
* Did anybody overcome the small fonts problem by changing DPI and which DPI setting is advisable?
* any way to force reboot in such case?
Just use xposed module appsetting to set the dpi for apps individually.

AppSettings works well.. I changed the overall DPI to 240 because all the fonts were way too big for me.. I then reset certain apps back because some of the stock apps don't work right at different DPIs (camera, etc).
Reflashing revovered the systemui loop crash.
Tried App Settings, but no succes so far.
What do you guys set up, e.g. for facebook messenger?
Thanks!
Appsettings works great!

I have rooted my galaxy for using exposed framework just to be able to use app settings! It then works great. You can set the font size (or dpi I guess) individually for any app. I use different settings ie for Gmail, Facebook messenger, Chrome, Tapatalk... You have to try a bit to find the perfect setting but it's a must.
Without you have tiny fonts!
ok, I installed xposed framework via its installer and then added the app settings module. For those willing to follow this route: you find instructions here: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tom-stock-roms-and-hello-to-xposed-framework/
Then it is possible to set DPI (or change font size) for each app individually. Text size and rendering was fine for me with 400DPI for Facebook, Tapatalk, or Nova Launcher. Tried with some other apps as well. Seemingly all look better and are more touch friendly with DPI >= 400. For comparison: stock DPI is set to 320 while real DPI is some 500+.
However it is rather inconvenient to set up each and every app individually via app settings module.
Tried to change the global DPI settings with build prob editor, but that somehow did not succeed, 320 DPI remained unchanged.
Tried with DPI changer to no effect. DPI cannot be changed via these apps. Very strange, have to investigate further.
Then tried again with textdroider, just to check - and device hangs again
No chance of rebooting or anything...but...yeah, found a trick: insert a SIM-card into the slot and then get asked to restart! Works. You can boot into recovery or download mode. Will try with adb to restore the build.prop backup...
Meanwhile - has anyone been able to set global DPI to something like 400-500 successfully? How?
If you look carefully I n the build.prop there usiually got 2 same dpi line... change both or disable one of it.

Appsettings module is the best option,going in to build.prop is for overall and sends you in to a boot loop .be sure to have a backup

@edan1979, I found only one line in build.prop indicating DPI settings. build.prop editor and DPI changer strangely cannot change that.

the UI will crash since it was build for the original dpi and the ui setting as well... just install another launcher first and clear the Touchwiz data. It wont crash any longer but if you use touchwiz it wont be good looking... and some other touchwiz related apps will crash as well... that one can be settle using app setting to original dpi.

Not really. I change DPI systemwide on my Nexus devices, they don't crash so easily - they are pretty much unified in terms of software.
Samsung really doesn't like to make a one size fits all firmware for the dozens of devices they release, so you get "problems" like this - to be fair, they don't really anticipate the average user to go around fooling with the DPI values.
Probably Samsung has set 320 DPI on all their devices?

Who knows...who cares? Their assets probably isn't made for all the existing DPIs.
Anyway, xposed app settings works fine for most apps, just gotta live with the systemUI being stuck in that.

Installed OTA yesterday. Anyone else not able to change dialer keypad from the mental hospital white? I would prefer a dark dialer keypad, which was available in Sense 6. The only option under personalize is default (white). Initially the same was true with the keyboard, but after changing themes in the new theme settings, I got other options for the keyboard that were part of those themes. Still only default for dialer keypad, and no theme change would change it either, so regardless of theme chosen I still only get white.
I looked around the forums and saw that some had the same problem with sense 7 ROMs running on M8 and M9. There was a workaround by uninstalling the dialer app, and then updating it or simply reverting back to sense 6 dialer, but I've no option to do that under the app (just force stop, no uninstall).
Kind of at a dead end in figuring it out. Don't care for the bloat of 3rd party dialer/phone/messaging apps, but might have to try one. I'm not into rooting or mods on my main communication device, and so this phone has never been anything but stock (except for apps available in the store, naturally). I did have Apex launcher as my app launcher at the time of OTA, but that should not have thrown a wrench into the update (at least I don't think it should have). My next step is to factory reset to see if that resolves it...which I'm not eager to do.
Any thoughts?
Use the themes app and download a new keyboard theme.
Not all themes come with keyboard recolouring...

Thanks for the reply. I tried that. None of the themes had any affect on the dialer keypad -- still just white --, even the ones that showed in the preview to do so. The keyboard was changeable with via applying themes.
Hmmmm, if it is a Sense 7 based Sense 6 ROM , it won't work, AFAIK the only official Sense 7 ROM is Stock Rooted, soon will also have Bad Boyz 4.0.
Try the stock rooted, then report back please!
I'm not running a ROM, I'm newly OTA updated with Marshmallow, so I'm stoock Sense 7. I guess I'm wondering if what I described (only white phone dialer keypad) is normal behavior for Sense 7. Like I said, I can't change the color of the phone dialer keypad from white, either in settings or themes. If this is correct behavior for stock sense 7, that's OK, and I'll explore other options by way of a phone app.
Again, thanks.
It doesn't seem like normal behavior, I'm on Stock rooted MM...that is literally just changing the theme for me.

Got it to work. Don't know what the problem is. Some themes that show a change to the dialer in the preview do change it when applied, some do not. Now to find a way to edit the theme and retain the change to the dialer.
