Hi all,
I am still new to custom ROMs. Installed the King Droid custom ROM and am very happy so far. During installation I opted for 320 dpi mode. It looks great! There are a few limitations though, the default launcher will not appear correctly. I have been using Apex and Nova alternatively and both are working almost perfectly.
Any one else on 320 dpi, please share your experience. :cyclops:
Regards,
Rajat

320 is the default dpi for Note and TW launcher should not have any issues with it, are you sure you opted for 320? I guess you might have opted 240 dpi as TW launcher does not work properly on 240 dpi. Check your current dpi in build.prop
There is a warning while selecting 240 dpi mode in Kingdroid (Aroma) that TW will not work or something like that, you should have read that carefully , now either change dpi manually by editing build.prop or use custom launchers, and do not use any app to change dpi, you will end in bootloops otherwise.

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
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.

Dear All,
I have use Rom Toolbox Lite to change the Display from 320 dpi to 240 dpi successfully on
Kingdroid V3 and
Criskelo V7
Everything works perfectly EXCEPT
TouchWiz Home NOT working and
Samsung Chinese Keyboard Not Working properly
does anyone know howto install S3 Svoice mod into this roms
please help?
thank you very much!
All Samsung apps (touchwizz, dialer, calendar etc) won't work with custom dpi's. You'll need an alternative launcher (recommend launcher7 or adw).
You can get the dialer to be usable again by setting one handed operation in settings, that will resize it so its fully visible again. Alternatively use another dialer from play store.
Have not experienced Samsung Chinese calendar but imagine its the same issue. Would highly recommend swiftkey 3 tablet as an alternative with excellent Chinese support, much better than stock.

you can find that in an Asian rom and select in input in settings the language.
Itsbpossible Samsung changed the location to the Samsung keyboard, so you might have to set it there.

I've recently upgraded to 5.0.1 on my N910H. I always previously changed my DPI, but without (yet) Xposed App Settings to sort out the misbehaving apps, I was worried about Lollipop.
I've now changed my DPI to 480 and TouchWiz Lollipop is at this DPI is not too bad.
What doesn't look correct:
Launcher
Camera
Dailer
What does look great:
Pretty much everything else including
Floating SMS
Contacts
Logs
Calculator
Samsung Keyboard
Lockscreen
Settings
I can live with the dialer and camera looking odd until either Xposed is fixed for TouchWiz or someone mods it. You also use Google Camera instead. For the launcher I use Nova.
How do you change your DPI to 480 ?
Is there a special root tool ? Or manual on the config ? If config, what did you change ?

Change it in the build prop text. I use root explorer but I am sure most file explorers will work too
Right, I changes it with "ROM tool box" but a lot off apps looks strange no alternative to app settings for me
The camera app's dpi you can adjust with "App Settings", available for download as an xposed module. I've set it the camera app dpi back to 640 and that works like a charm.
I've been using nova launcher for some time now and had no problems with changing overall dpi.
The dialer on the other hand still looks "odd" . Still looking for a solution for that but as you also said: "i can live with that"
Edit:
I've been to quick . There are/were compatibility issues between xposed and lollipop, not sure if app settings works with lollipop

Which apps look strange? For me it's only the dialer and Camera.
