Change Your Screen Resolution on HTC Evo 4g

I have successfully done this now. Remember that we don't have root in the same way that the EVO 4G does.
So:
Using any file manager that can read the / partition of your phone find and copy "/system/build.prop" onto your SD card.
Now copy the file to your desktop, and take a backup of that file too.
Open notepad and make sure word wrap is on, then open build.prop in notepad
Edit the required value (I chose 120), save and copy the file to your ADB/tools directory
Reboot your phone into clockworkMOD recovery, and connect your phone to the PC. Also go into the partitions menu of ClockworkMOD and click "mount system"
Open up ADB, and run "adb devices" to make sure the phone is connected and everything is working
Run these commands in this order:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
Then reboot your phone.
Let me know if this helps

What is the resoultion of your screen now?

I dunno how I'd work it out, sorry.

Ah...
I think I've found the first of many flaws with this, and it was mentioned in the EVO 4G post. Some apps ignore this and use the old resolution, and thus don't fill the screen (see attachment)
As you can the the status bar goes a lot wider than the app. The status bar is the full width of the screen.
Other problems arise too, a reinstall of the app doesn't help, and some apps just end up completely screwed...

The resolution is the same - HVGA (pixels are hardware). You only change the dpi value which means that more things will fit to your screen but it will appear coarser than before.

Cool, thanks grandioso
On a slightly different note I've found that changing the value to 130, and using the 5 icon rows feature of launcher pro, is quite nice.

Thanks for clearing that .

There are some problems, but if you want to try it out, you can flash the update.zip I've just made.
160lcd.zip takes you back to default and 120lcd.zip makes your screen resolution higher.

@Briix
Can you make update for 130, like TheGrammarFreak suggested

I'd make one but I'm currently struggling to sign my .zip
EDIT:
Done it, just testing then I'll upload. I also notice that ROM Manager is one of the apps that ends up being screwed by this mod...
EDIT 2:
Wow, lots of edits. Anyhoo, 130lcd right here:

really nice

thanks man its working...........

Has anyone tried GrammarFreak's zip ?
Are there any problems with it ? Is it worth the effort ?
Do I have to wipe for this to work ?

Explicitly my zip? Or any of the zip's in this thread?
No wipe is needed.
Also, this method is inherently flawed. Some apps just don't use the edited resolution. Unless a way can be found to force these apps to scale up then there will always be ugly moments.
One of the things that I've found to not work is the HTC-IME mod. So is it worth it? That for you to decide... Lol

I'd love to, but I can't at the moment, I'm at school and didn't bring my laptop. Unless someone beats me to it I'll make one in about an hour and a half; when I'm home.
I did try 140 myself but I didn't think it was worth it. I use 5 icon rows in launcher pro and the widgets started overlapping again. Like they did in the default resolution.

I'll wait..
Would be great though if WF & Clock Widget (The Sense look Clock) would adapt to new screen and fill it out..
Totally sweet indeed..

Yeah, if I knew more about android I'd look into forcing apps to scale up. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but hey.

Set vibration permanently

There are some kernels that let you do this, but I'm using glitch which doesn't and I don't want to change.
I can set the vibration intensity by going to /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty and changing the value to about 25000
Only problem is that this is set back to device default after reboot. Is there a way to manually set it permanently?
Cheers
Pete

If you wanted you could make an init.d file to execute on each boot. Use a file manager and create a file called 99VibeIntensity and enter the code below. Paste it in /system/etc/init.d. Then change the permissions to -r-
Try this code here;
#!/system/bin/sh
#Changing Vibration Intensity...
echo 25000 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty

is that right? doesn't seem to work, but i am pretty noobish. The system has created a file called 99VibeIntensity.bak, if that is telling at all.

No worries man we all are at one point. Also it doesnt HAVE to be called 99VibeIntensity. the number at the beginning just tells the system in which order to execute the scripts. so make sure there isnt another one with 99 as the prefix. Just to be sure, call the script "S99VibeIntesity. Also make sure the file has no extension like .txt etc.
EDIT: Im sorry i told you the wrong permissions. After placing the file try this from terminal emulator.
chmod 644 /system/etc/init.d/NameOfOurScriptHere or use file manager to set permissions to -rw-r--r--
then do a reboot and see if the value in the file has changed.

i just cant seem to get it! i found some more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626756
whatever i do doesn't seem to work. i tried setting the permissions to rx-rx-rx because the other scripts in init.d have those permissions. i tried changing the script a little to match the attachment in that other thread, but no dice. im still googling hard - cheers for tips so far

Try full permissions. My script in init.d to activate swap at boot has full permissions. Also remove the space from in between /system/bin/sh line and between our next line #changing vibe intensity.

all permissions set. maybe i should stop punching above my weight and just use devil or midnight!

You should use devil, it is amazing. The options are endless. So many options for performance. I get exactly a day worth of battery life keeping 3g on only when I need it. Also I am going to make you a new script that I want you to try out for me. Will upload in a bit.

I'm not really from this forum but someone linked here from mine, anyway in case your writing your script on windows use notepad++ because the regular one doesn't work well.
second try this script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 60
echo 25000 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/duty
Permission should be set rwxr-xr-x
You might want to name it S1XXXX to make sure it runs amongst the first scripts to eliminate any endless loop scripts that may be running and blocking the initiation of later scripts.
Make sure your kernel supports init.d scripts.
The script will run approx 1-2 minutes after boot to make sure any other startup script that changes the value did it's stuff already.
If all else fails you could use this script without script manager and set run as su and on boot.

which romis best for jelly beans for captivate....plz post the link

Very good point, i never thought of the loop scripts. Good call my friend! So maybe he should try to make it execute first.

OK, I got it to work.
I used Root Explorer and used the same permissions as the files that where inside the folder.
Here is what you have to use:
User: Root
Group: Shell
Permissions: rwxr-xr-x

First off apologies if it's not OK to bump and old thread and then go off topic a bit.
I was just wondering if anyone knew if its possible to increase the vibration intensity of the S2 (I9100)? I tried to see if i could just do the same as in this thread (im a total noob) but when trying to navigate to the correct directory there appears to be no 'duty' folder and so i couldn't find the correct thing to alter.
I have tried asking in the S2 forums about vibrator intensity but the most help i got was a link to this thread.
Thanks

I apologise for bumping either.
I've almost solved the problem by using STweaks app with DorimanX Kernel (I have old 7.4.2 with very old ROM on Android 4.1.2)
I set Vibration Force to 100%. Look at the attachment.

Turn off ads w/ Root?

I'm sure this will get figured out but does anyone know if there's a way to move/change/disable files on a rooted HD7 to disable these god forsaken ads without giving Amazon $15 bucks?

Try disabling dtcp_apk.apk in system/app. Its icon says Kindle Special Offers so I think its the ad service, but it may cause issues if you delete it so rename it to .bak to be safe.

Awesome...can anyone confirm this works?

hope not. a sure way to be sure they will do everything they can to patch and lock up as tight as possible.

It does seem to work! The screensaver now shows random book/letters/etc type backgrounds, no ads. I still get the "customers also bought" in carousel view, but otherwise I haven't spotted any ads.
Here's the steps I did:
Code:
# adb shell
[INDENT]
# su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cd /system/app
# mv dtcp_apk.apk dtcp_apk.apk.orig
[/INDENT]
# adb reboot
I'm attaching a couple pictures I took of the lock screen. Thanks for the tip!!
UPDATE: As a side note, I tried putting these back and it seems to have disabled them permanently. If I move the apk back to its original name and reboot, it still has the ads disabled.
UPDATE2: Just wanted to comment that my ads decided to come back...took a week or so but they eventually showed up again. I moved the file again as above, and they are gone again (no harm no foul).

I tried this and it worked great. The ads started this morning after an automatic "Upgrade". The weird thing is that I had to re-root my KF HD because both ES File Explorer and File Manager were both saying that it wasn't rooted. I wasn't getting the option to change permissions on either
app, but I was able to see system files. I was finally able to change permission after a quick re-root.
Thanks for sharing the info. It's been about a week for you. Is the mod still working fine?

Added to my previous post, but incase you didnt see yes its still working great. Did you just get your device? If so I'm guessing you got the upgrade from 7.1.3 to 7.1.5, correct? When amazon does an ota like that it removes root.

I actually replied before you updated your post, so I didn't see it. I bought it 3 days ago. I just checked it and yes, it's currently on 7.1.5.

Does anyone know the location of the lockscreen wallpapers that show up on the lockscreen once you have disabled the lockscreen ads? I want to put my own wallpapers in there instead.

It's not that easy. Wallpapers are located in the framework-res.apk under /system/framework
Google search editing the framework-res for more answers. It isn't that difficult but you need to be very careful and make sure you know what you are doing because you can potentially brick your device. Without a custom recovery, you won't have very many options if that happens.

You simply do the reverse of what you did to turn them off. Either rename the file back from dtcp_apk.apk.orig to dtcp_apk.apk, or turn on the permissions to what they were before you modified them. I will say that it took a few days (upwards of a week actually) before it re-enabled the ads. Not really sure what it took for it to re-read that file, but it might have been some combination of me powering down entirely, or an OTA update check that eventually kicked it back in.

[TWEAK] Remove Brightness Slider from Notification Panel

This tweak worked on the stock T-Mobile OCG ROM, and will likely work for other stock based ROM's.
I used the "SQLite Editor" app to do this tweak. Other SQLite editors should work as well.
1.Launch SQLite Editor and select "Files" and drill down into /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
2. Select "system"
3. Press the "+" option
4. Leave _id set to auto
5. Add in the name field "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment" (without the quotes)
6. Add in the value field "0" (number zero without the quotes)
7. Press save
8. Exit and reboot
If you decide at a later time you want it back, just change the value of that field to a 1 then save and reboot.

You can also simply install Lux and turn off its persistent notification

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<
This doesn't seem worth a whole new thread, so I've attached a systemui whose only change is the removal of the sfinder/qconnect bar. I believe you also have to delete the arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz file for things to work properly.
Edit for basic instructions:
Use a root-enabled file manager or console to replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the attached file, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz. Make sure the permissions of the new SystemUI.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk at the console). Reboot and enjoy.
Caveat: you may not be able to swipe away notifications from within the region previously taken up by the sfinder/qconnect bar.

Great! Can also be done via adb:
Code:
adb shell settings put system notification_panel_brightness_adjustment 0

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<
This doesn't seem worth a whole new thread, so I've attached a systemui whose only change is the removal of the sfinder/qconnect bar. I believe you also have to delete the arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz file for things to work properly.

How would you get it to work, I tried to install it but it won't install.

You either need a root-enabled file manager or su at a console, and replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the file I provided, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz, then reboot. As always, I strongly recommend making backups and of course, I can provide no guarantees, yadda yadda.

Awesome! Works perfectly! Thanks so much. Just a reminder to relative noobs like myself to change the appropriate permissions in the new SystemUI file to -rw-r--r--. I forgot to do so first try, and lost both the status bar and the lockscreen. Fixed now, but had a moment or two of panic...

[guide] black navigation bar

Hey all. Other day i look around floating_feature.xml in system/etc and i found the line for config nav bar:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>
I think if theres an option "SupportLightNavigationBar" lets see if "SupporrDarkNavigationBar" works. And it worked
Don't know if anyone have dicover that but i wann share it with you.
Final code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView|SupportDarkNavigationBar</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>

I think you can push it via adb. If anyone could help with it

Fairly sure you need to be rooted to mod system files even with ADB, or at least have TWRP installed, in which case you might as well root too as you have already tripped KNOX

or you can just use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
set
need_dark_navigationbar to 1
need_dark_statusbar to 1
then go switch it to black..
you might need adb initially to get the app permission but its only needed to do once.. actually, you dont need permission for that as its in system settings.. if u want to change secure or global settings you need to set the adb perms

not true in this case.. those values are in settings.. you can do it in adb also if you use the settings binary similar to what i just posted.. the app is probably the easiest tho plus u can edit pretty much any setting with the app

Just changed those lines both to 1, but no black has appeared
Also I have a problem with low notification / ringtone sounds, I see there are level settings for that too
What is the adb command to get the full permissions for the app to edit everything? The values are reset back to 0 after a reboot

Did you have any luck figuring this out? The settings don't seem to stick on reboot.

Not with this method, I use this now instead, works flawlessly

Exclude the app from power saving though or you'll need to open it again to reapply some of the tweaks
