[Q] LCD Density - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi Guys,
is it possible to change lcd density in our lg 4x? can we use a tablet ui same as paranoid android rom? i have read in some forums that changing lcd density with lcd modder or other programs cause brick the phone...
sorry for my english :cyclops:

You can try to go to /system/build.prob with Root explorer and change the value.
ro.sf.lcd_density=
and
ro.sf.hw_lcd_density=
Safe and Reboot.
Tipp: You like Tablet UI then take a smaller value!

you need to go all the way down to 120dpi, to enable tabletUI as the 720dpi resolution needs to be there (technical explanation not available)
but im currently trying to make it work, but several widgets and LG launcher do not support lower density values to work, so im trying to hack the resolution to enable tabletUI and still retain an acceptable resolution at 200 or 240, but tablet menu goes out of the screen.
but it works.
it will be a custom rom to enable this feature, since deodex'ing is required.

Try a other launcher(Trebuchet).

that will not solve the tabletUI and the missing navigation bar at the bottom, a combination of dpi120+trebuchet is ok, but at 120, buttons are pretty much for children fingers or women?
and you need to disable the hw softbutton at the bottom, right? (can be done removing lights.x3.so from hw/ folder

Optimus 2x = 240 density.
Softbuttons?
On Trebuchet launcher are no virtual buttons!

virtual buttons are androidOS related, and will enable at a DPI of 721 with ICS. so going to 120dpi in the build.prop will activate them and remove systembar and movable softbottoms.
but you are left with the hardware buttons which again can be disabled with the light driver and the keylayout being 0'd.
I am working on the tabletUI version, so for those interested, a custom rom with fixes for tabletUI and using apex launcher will help. and fixed for running any dpi with tabletui enabled.

Right now Optimax 3 has an issue we're trying to figure out along with the dev... Even though it installs stock keyboard for PRO, hw keyb won't light up... I tried using your app, but it didn't fix this... I think it even got me a couple of reboots, had to uninstall

No.It required no Extra Libs.I had already Fixed the Backlight issue on that rom and Uploaded the Fix.And MIUI does have the Keyboard Backlight Working.Atleast in My Port.
Anyway.Great Work Man.
Good! Now with xperia viper 6 keyboard backlight works BUT not for front key (menu, back, home).
Sorry for my english
Woooow!
It's working absolutly right. I tried with an ICS custom ROM and really fix the backlight.
Thanks!
Pd: It´s true... the front leds are off. There is no problem... I hated that that lights after all
Hi, can i use this in another phone, like Droid 2 Global???
hi. You can try it

Simple density tweak

This is such a simple tweak but I figured I'd share it any how...
It always amazes me how there's this badass high res screen but it ships with everything scaled up which just doesn't take any advantage of the number of pixels available.
I messed around with a few values of the "ro.sf.lcd_density" property in /system/build.prop and settled for 320 (default is 480). It does make a little on the small side but you can offset this with the regular Settings -> Display -> Font size option.
The result, is for me at least, a great improvement. I can see most of my apps in the drawer without scrolling, can see and actually read a whole website without zooming in plus the system and nav bars top and bottom now take up a much more reasonable amount of space.
Install your favorite root enabled File Explorer and mount system RW and go edit. I like http://goo.gl/NvtA8 as it runs as su & mounts system for you.
After getting stuck in a bootloop by using one of those dpi changer apps I've plucked up the courage to try again. This time I edited the build.prop myself and it worked.
It looks crazy I think I could get used to this though

wow this is amazing. i always wondered why they scale it up, now i can tweak it myself. thanks!
I'm hoping that at some point someone ports Paranoid Android for the Z it will be amazing! (please, please, please!). But can someone who's applied this upload some screenshots (Settings, Notification shade, etc)? Thanks in advance!

R: Simple density tweak
I suggest you to try with the value 400: I've been using it since I got the phone and is great! A lot of space but still usable everyday. But sadly this is not a stock value ( 480 320 240 and 160 are stock afaik) and this will break play store compatibility: to fix it you have to flash a multi dpi play store mod.
And yes, the phone app does not scale properly but it's not really an issue..

Tried with 320 , but I got a boot loop. Locked Z , with root and CWM .
I think I will have to reflash it from the PC companion to recover it.
Very strange. What does adb logcat say during your bootloop? Sure you didn't b0rk the file some how?
I did not look at the adb, but I'm thinking the same thing, I thing somehow the file just got corrupted ...
also after I mount R/w , twice the screen got black, reboot, root explorer, R/w and everything ok.
Once I flash with PC companion , and root it again I will try again :fingers-crossed:
Anyhow I tried also a couple of days ago with a dpi changer and the result was the same .

I used a dpi changer a few days ago and got a bootloop. This time I simply used ES FilevL Explorer and enabled root functions. Didn't need to mount anything, just change number, save and reboot

Seems like a big gap between 320 and 480 :/
I've been thinking if using 400, as I did try on my way down to 320 abd it looked alright, but now I know it's not stock I'm not sure. Also, would we get tablet interfaces on 400 dpi?
I opened up imdb and was greeted by a nice tablet interface kinda don't want to give it up :/

For apps that don't scale such as dialer I use xposed and app settings module.
Been using 380dpi for a while that works ok

Set the dpi per app to the original 480 for each of the particular app such as contacts (dialer), contacts import, phone, phone contacts and phone storage and semc task switcher.
which don't scale properly at a lower res.

Will 380dpi give us a tablet interface or do we need to go all the way to 320 for that?

Well... THANK YOU! It's almost like being on Paranoid!! You can set per app dpi, font dimension (scale) and layout (screen dp) so I can get tablet layout in the apps I'm interested while keeping the global interface (navbar and notification bar) at the desired dpi.
This is not development... Moving to themes and apps

Pls pls pls share your settings for exposed, meaning all the packages with modified settings list with the applied parameters. Would be worth a million thanks.
Story is i've applied 320 dpi via build prop and everything is perfect but the dialer is coorupt. So i installed xposed and the module, hanged the dpi for the phone and contacts apps to 480, but when i open the dialer, it has ne dial button and the soft keyboard pops up...
Once again, i would really appreciate if one of you gus who reported everything to work ok could share all the relavant details i/o for me to reproduce.

I got these set to 480 and the dialer looks pretty good for me:
Contacts
Contacts Import
Contacts storage
Phone
Phone Contact
Phone/Messaging Storage
Recent Calls
I'm not sure how many of these actually relate to what you're seeing on screen, someone else will hopefully clear that up, but at the moment this is what is working for me.

Problem in landscape mode

Hey guys,
On some Roms the screen ratio in the landscape mode is often changing, this appears only in the launcher and the recent apps list. I tried also another launcher, but the bug is still there :/
Has anyone a solution for this?
Thanks in advance

Get Android 10 navigation gestures on A70 9.0 Pie

One of the best features (if not the main feature for some) coming with Android 10 are navigation changes which are more intuitive and simple. Until we get the update in April though, we are left with the "old" android navigation, or are we?
Xda developed an app (search "Xda Navigation Gestures" on the Play Store) that gives you Android 10 navigations, it works on the A70 and after a lot of tweaking this is the final result: https://vimeo.com/384661364
Fortunately for you, the settings can be imported and you won't have to tweak them much (unless you so desire). I've uploaded my settings which are similar to Android 10 gestures:
Swipe right -> Go back
Swipe up OR Tap -> Home
Swipe up and hold -> Recent apps
Long Press -> Google Assistant
I simplified the gestures, but you can do some crazy stuff with the nav bar in this app.
You download the application and follow the given instructions in the app, the app requires sending an ADB command through a PC so if you don't know what that is, here's an explanation and an installation guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
ADB commands DO NOT trip Knox protection or void warranty, you can use it safely.
However, since this isn't optimized for this device, like I hope the April update will be, there are some downsides/problems I've noticed:
- I sometimes miss the "hitbox" when trying to use the navbar even thought sensitivity is maxed, doesn't happen too often and I'm sure with time I'll get used to the right spot;
- As you see in the video, the normal navigation bar is hidden. The problem is that the UI doesn't understand that there's a navigation bar there which leads to accidental presses on whatever is behind the bar. This is particularly annoying when you open the app drawer and try to use the nav bar which results in you accidentally pressing "Close all apps";
- I've noticed it lags for a few seconds when you turn on/restart the phone;
- Battery? The app says there's possible higher battery consumption but I haven't noticed anything so far.
EDIT:
I have fixed the first two problems, by setting the vertical position to 0, increasing the height to 80 px and increased color transparency (optional, I like it to be almost transparent). This way the navbar is at its lowest point and the hitbox gets a boost because I increased its size, it's working flawlessly now!
It works great! For those waiting for Andoird 10 gestures, you can start getting used to them now!
So what about app closing animations? There had been always such these apps like navigation gestures, xhome bar. I want someome port one ui 2.0 gestures and animations from s10+ or note 10

I doubt anyone will even have time much less the motivation to make a port of OneUI 2.0 considering the update is so close.
I've tried that app, it lacks a lot of customization that XDA navigation Gestures offers. The file I've uploaded is an export of my tweaked app settings, so that anyone can restore them after installing the app from the Play Store (Search for XDA navigation gestures).
So where will i copy this file

Install the app -> follow the app instructions -> after set up go to Settings -> "Back up & Restore" -> "Restore All Settings" -> Pick the settings file I provided.
I uploaded an updated file.
