[MOD]-No Root DPI Changer [WIN Program]

Hi everyone!
Made a small stand alone program that will connect, display & change your DPI for any android device with USB Debugging activated and appropriate drivers installed.
Backstory:
It seems Im one of the unlucky ones with a currently un-rootable H831 and I had wanted to change allot on this phone on the system level. One of the current mods I always implemented was a DPI change.
DPI change on a non-rooted phone is not a problem and is outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/help/how-to-change-dpi-root-t3351366 and is using adb commands to do so.
** But I wanted an easier way to change my DPI and have reference to density & resolution without using ADB and cmd commands all the time. Also my wife can change her DPI like this on any PC without hassle. Therefore I wrote this little program that will display density, resolution and allow you to change it on your phone easily by just running it stand-alone. Since I put the effort into it already, thought I would share & maybe someone could use it the way my wife and I are
Anywho, I also attached some operational screenshots.

Im currently using 533,. This odd number works well with my launcher. others are reporting 560 and 540 as good as well. I have only seen a problem in my Instagram when cropping so far but other then that, everything is working well.

What about camera app?

cameras working perfectly, tho the icons can get abit smaller its not an issue. In fact, I didnt really notice them till I compared it with the stock dpi. you should be good, just be careful not to go too low.

Thanks for fast answers m8. I read that SwiftKey has issues. Is it?

Im using swiftkey and I have not had any problems.
If however you notice the keyboard has shrunk abit, you can change the size of it in settings anyways.

Maybe I will try it at night then. Thx again m8.

This worked a treat although (on 540) the time on ambient display is distorted.

Hm... I may have to try a new DPI again then. I know SwiftKey used to have issues whenever the DPI was changed to where the keyboard would appear very magnified but still worked as normal, you just couldn't see which keys you were pressing. If SwiftKey now supports different DPIs, I guess I'll have to try changing mine again! Any chance you can post a screenshot with SwiftKey open?

Is it possible to change the actual resolution to achieve more performance and battery using this program?

Good workaround! However, the always-on display is distorted. Is there a way to fix this?

Solution? to what? an over paranoid antivirus program lol!
Dude, In order to get an ADB terminal working I obviously need the ADB DLLs and my program when executed plops the 2 DLLs needed into a temp folder and also keeps ADB sevice open on the system. An antivirus program sees the dropped dlls and the live system service running as suspicious, but believe me its not.

Yes, There are commands using ADB that can change the render resolution mode so I would need to program it in as an option. Maybe I could look into adding that in the future.

No fix for this. You would need a rooted phone and that service framework modded on the system level to even attempt to fix DPI issues with the always-on display. Workaround - deactivate it, or see if there are any third party ones.

Awesome thanks. Just got my H831 today. Sad there is no root yet.
This is one of the main changes I wanted root for.

[App] SystemUI Tuner - By Zacharee1

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!

I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!

My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Best app i've seen for Note 8 thusfar. Thank you

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.

Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.

This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?

I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.

Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.

It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

Bugs i found.

Good Morning.
I bought this phone 3 days ago from amazon, i noticed some bugs i want to share. Maybe i'm just a noob but i can't find a solution so i ask for your check.
1. It's impossible to disable WhatsApp notification. Everyone can read msgs' previews even with the phone locked. I didn't test notification from other apps. Just disabled sound and lock screen preview but it still show it.
2. can't turn off touch-disable function. It's impossible to use the phone inside arm-bands. It seems they forgot the otpion in the Smart Assistance menu.
3. FM radio has not the RDS function.
I'm sorry i can't add attachment with system infos but i'm not allowed to do it cause forum policies about new users.
I would appreciate your test,
Thank you.

HI, for notifications I still can't figure out how to set WhatsApp notification only with flashing led, without sounds...
And in the settings I haven't the option to set the touch-disable function... Could you tell me where you found it please?.

Notifications - Do try it Yourself, remember that You have to manage it inside Whatsapp itself as well.
Touch-disable is in smart assistance at the bottom od the screen.

Hi,
regarding the touch-disable function, this is the smart assistance menu... i can't find it.
Also searching "touch" word in the menu gives no relevant results.

That's the problem with different phone versions.
I do own an Indian/Chinese version 3GB/16GB.
Model LLD-AL10. CUSTC675D3
I do have PRIVATE SPACE, APP TWIN , DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE, touch-disable function. etc
Sadly I do not have an NFC which was one of the reasons I bough't this phone.

Disable launcher suggestions, alternative/hack for notification LED?

I love the device so far, ran only into two minor hiccups.
1) I had other Huawei phones recently and either this is new or I managed to disable it previously and forgot how: When I open the app list I get a row of "suggestions" and find those useless/annoying. Can I fix that?
2) I .. didn't even know that it would come without a notification led before it arrived at my doorstep. Somehow every phone I owned in the last decade or so had one and I start to miss it. Are there any software fixes for this, maybe using the always on display mode?

for 1) - unninstall tips app

Thst doesn't change the behavior (bit is probably a good idea anyway..).
My app drawer starts with a row of suggestions (recent apps I guess), a little bit of separation space and then I have the normal A-Z listing of apps.
The suggestions are bad/crap/wasting space 99% of the time, so I want them gone. Tips doesn't do that as far as I can see..

For the second the P30 pro has Always on display and after the 124 update shows all messages from all apps. Even from 3rd party apps.

How.. why..
That is a (cool?) app to show your battery status around the notch area.
It certainly has nothing to do with the app drawer/launcher problem, but I also don't see the relation to the missing notification led (although it would be cool if the app could function as that instead of a battery indicator, but then it also would need to be displayed whole the screen is "off").
Unrelated, no?

Unfortunately that seems not good enough.
For one, notifications are funky/working only half the time for me so far.
Worse, the notifications that do appear on the always on display are gone after I unlocked the phone once. Even if the notification still exists/wasn't dismissed, it's now gone from the always on display.. :-/

Thanks, that .. might be a solution, maybe. Will spend some time with it, a quick install was both interesting (it's really customizable) and disappointing (some things didn't work at all and I'm .. unsure how it interacts with my default lock screen, how the unlock process is changed).
Maybe just needs more time to check it out? Unfortunately I haven't found proper documentation and the spelling in the options is a bit hard in places [English is a foreign language for me too, so no blame here].

Notes in statusbar/notifications

I have previously used Sony and switched to the p30 pro now , before I used to depend on a app like Notify, Notable ect ect ect where you have a quick access to make a note from the notification bar and then make that note stick there until you remove it yourself. When I now use the apps I previously used the notes and quick access all disapeare. I have tried to download several other apps but nothing stays there until I decide myself. Have also checked phone/app settings with no luck.
Does anyone know of a app like this that works correct on p30 pro or if there is a settings Im overlooking?

Set the app to manual in app launch. Dont let the system auto manage it. Lastly, check and make sure the app is not optimized in the battery settings.
