I find the default 320 density value to be a bit too much.
Everything just shows up too big on the phone wasting a lot of screen real estate.
I switched mine to 240 (after rooting) and started you ADW launcher (as the Samsung one doesn't play nice with smaller density values).
I was wondering value do other people use?
I think that i will use less than 240.
Maybe sub-200. Some roms on the hd2 with 168 were awesome, now with more resolution and more screen, 320 and 240 will be much for my taste.
240 Density on this screen is like 180 density on the 800x480 screen.
uhm, I didn't know that.
Then, I will use about 240 or so, I'm with you, using so much density like the default it is pretty dumb.
I'll try on thursday
How can you guys change the density of the phone??

Will this just re-scale everything, or will it make operations less processor intensive?

First of all, you must have the phone rooted. After that you can use LCDDensity for Root (from Market) or edit \system\build.prop using root explorer or other equivalent software.
Clubttech - how did you manage to root it?

Thank you! But after changing the density, the apps which were not compatible with Note works fine?
Still didn't try to change the density myself (first have to find a window box to root the note). Therefore a little question: does the note app still work with a smaller density? I mean is it still possible to make notes without annoying scaling problems?
I've downloaded the app' but I'm stuck with the:
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
Where do i get the adb drivers from please?

Just follow the steps untill the HTC bit (step 3) to install ADB on your Windows PC.

This is from HTC Sensation page, very helpful for people doing it the 1st time.
Thanks very much mate. I'll give that a go.

I haven't found a stand alone Note driver pack, however installing the latest Kies from the Samsung site should give you the drivers you need.

Like the above post said, you might need Samsung driver, also make sure you run the Command Prompt as administrator.
Also do you have a folder called "platform-tools" inside C:\AndroidSDK?
My Note will not arrive untill later this week, so can't do the process myself. But the procedure works as I used it to push files to my Galaxy Tab using ADB.
Could you take some screen shots with different densities?

I tired to change the build.prop to have a different density, but the change is not sticking.
I change it to 240 and save the file , it shows saved but when i open the file it still shows 320.
I am rooted and using root explorer.
any suggestions ?
See title.... I'm running the K4 Europe rom and I love to see some bug fixes for the notes app on this rom.
Thanks

Pulled from my HSKK1, does this link work for you

sorry for hijacking, but can someone pull clockpackage.apk from the new rom? I accidently deleted it with titanium. and couldnt restore it with any metgods. Thus. Im currently using 3rd party one. But it will be great if i can get it back from the newest rom.

Thanks! Link works great in Opera on Android. In this version the random appearance of notes in the root while placed in a folder seems to have been fixed.
Note for users who want to update from the stock K4 note app: updating seems to wipe the note database, sync your notes first.
I am too having problem on different DPI, I am on 201 (or 200), the note background mess up like the previous post...
Finally took my dirty hands on SMemo.apk as I am using density 201 and it does not looks good with that crappy background.
What was done?
- copy /system/app/SMemo.apk to my desktop, make a backup.
- apktool d -f SMemo.apk
- edit the res in ./SMemo/res/drawable-xhdpi, since my current density is 200 compare to 320, which is 1.6x, I edited:
- setting_paper_0(*).png, which is the images for selecting backgrounds, I resize it to height from 720 > 960
- theme(*)_bg_bottom.png, theme(*)_bg_middle.png, theme(*)_bg_top.png, all I did was resize them to width to 1280 (should have done a better job redraw them instead of resize, but well, all I want is it to fill so well....lazy)
- apktool b SMemo
- Sign it with Sign+ (found in this great xda forum)
- remove /system/app/SMemo.apk
- copy mod. SMemo.apk to /system/app/SMemo.apk
Done done and enjoy.

Here is my build, you can use it as you like, please don't blame me if it crash, it works on mine, backup your own before use!
You can also mod your own with the above steps.
Enjoy!

Hello friends!
Not sure it it's the right subforum to post this question, but I'll give it a try anyway.
So as you know the 4.3 software has automatically built in emojis, but they're unfortunately black&white, which very annoying on for examle snapchat, where your recipient gets a photo with these ugly b&w emojis.
So my question is actually if there's a way to change these emojis to those KK coloured or these ones from iOS. I'm rooted, and know i might get it if i install CM with 4.4, but i really won't install any ROMs right now. But is there any other way? Maybe modifying the system files or something, idk
I'm btw on Xperia V with stock 4.3 JB, FW:9.2.A.2.5

You just gotta replace AndroidEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts directory with a suitable emoji font file, like this one.
Just rename the file accordingly and move to system, then reboot. Done.

Need i also to change name from "AppleColorEmoji" to "AndroidEmoji" on the .ttf file, or just replace it as it appears?
Sounds damn easy, sure I can do it on just a rooted device with stock FW? Don't need any extra software?

Rename to AndroidEmoji.ttf
It does not only sound that easy, it indeed is!
You can backup you old font file in case anything goes wrong. But it should work fine

Hi everyone,
Recently I've been playing around with boot animations on my C5303 (LBL, Omni 4.4.4), and I've noticed that no matter what I do, the sound will not work.
I've tried most things suggested on (older) forums, but still let me know of any ideas.
Thanks!
Bump?
AFAIK most ROMs don't support it,
If they do, there should be an option to change it in the settings.
Odd. There isn't something I could set in build.prop?
Question please
I can't find any bootanimation.zip in my media folder to replace it with my downloaded one
Where did you find it ?!
Note that I'm on omni 4.4.4 as you are

Make sure you have root.
Often times there will be no zip file to replace. It can be stored in /data/local if you don't want to set R/W permissions in /system/media. I recommend using this app if you don't want to risk messing with files.

If you have root, a super user app and busy box I have no other ideas, unless you're downloading a bootanim that is a different resolution than the xperia screen.
Also, you can install custom ones using that app. Just open the menu in the top right.

Can someone look and tell me what the default value is? I've changed mine around and don't remember. Thx!
...also, changing it does create issues with using Samsung Pay.

If you go back to the Samsung settings for changing the dpi (i.e. large, small etc) it will change it back to the default. So toggle to another setting and then back to what you were at originally.
