I am stock not rooted. I changed my DPI to 493 using ADB. Now I have three dots in the keyboard and there is a black bar that covers half my app when I rotate the screen.
Any advice? Changing back to stock DPI doesn't fix the issue...
this won't help but i've flashed many roms so far, and am back on stock atm. I've just used root explorer every time and edited. the build.prop and i'm at 480 without issues? Hope you don't have to wipe.

If you go into chrome, try rotating both clockwise and counter clockwise. No black bar? Do you have dots on the keyboard near where the predictive text is? Maybe changing via ADB messed it up (as opposed to editing the build.prop) and I am going to have to flash the factory image. I don't think a FDR will do it correct?
I'm on stock rooted. I used Root Explorer to change my DPI to 493. I have absolutely no issues. I just tried using Chrome in both portrait and landscape mode and neither had any "black bar" like you are reporting.

You tried rotating both ways?
I guess a flash is in my future. Want to avoid rooting for the time being until I see what OTAs google has in mind.

Nope. You're right. If i rotate it to the right i get a black bar. But, why would you ever rotate this way? It is essentially the same as using the phone upside down...

You wouldn't ever naturally rotate this way, but we are an OCD bunch. Now that I know it exists it drives me crazy.
Do you have three dots while typing, for example, in hangouts.

Ha! Really? I'm definitely OCD about my phone functioning exactly as it should, but the black bar appearing when doing something I've literally never done before, doesn't bother me at all.
I'm seeing 3 dots directly underneath whatever the current selected word is in the predictive text. If this is what you are talking about I'd consider this more of a wanted feature than a bug, though.

On mine the dots are huge and eclipse the word. Also seems like the keyboard is still at stovk dpi. Its huge.
See attachment for dots
Maybe it has to do with changing (or trying to) change a system file/setting without root(system) privileges. You could always unlock, root, make your change, and then unroot and lock back up. That should still get you OTAs since you have stock recovery and all that still at that point.

I was getting annoyed by the three dots bug in the Google Keyboard as well as the top developer icon bug in the Play Store. So I tried wiping dalvik cache and cache and then tried rebooting. It fixed!
I'm not sure if this will work on the stock recovery for an unrooted device.
Shoutout to /u/einbierbitte
Edit: According to /u/chirisu you can just wipe the cache from System Settings => Storage => tap Cache and then clear it.
Don't even have to reboot, the three huge dots go away on the google keyboard.
If you rotate thephone clockwise to landscape, you get the black bar not only on Chrome, but hangouts and maps as well. Using 493 DPI.
Yep. I can confirm this. And I was about to flash factory images......
Zer0_cool:
I was wondering about the dalvik format since Lollipop land uses ART, which precompiles each app at install rather than at first run.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I cleared the cache but I'm still getting the dots, but they are a little smaller. I'm at 440 DPI and do not have the black bars, but I was getting them at 480 and 500 DPI.

Ok guys, people seem to be having problems using the LCD Density changer app, so I am making this write up to help you out
If you would like to make your Droid X look like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then follow these steps.
Method 1 - ADB
1. Download LCD Density w/ 2.2 market Fix - This also contains the 2.2 market fix (without the stagefright)
2. Put the build.prop in your android-sdk\tools folder
3. Connect your phone via usb, make sure it shows up with adb devices
4. adb remount
5. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
6. adb reboot
Method 2 - Root Explorer
1. Copy the build.prop to the root of your SD card
2. Long press on build.prop
3. Select "Copy"
4. Navigate to /system
5. Click R/W in the top right corner
6. Paste, and overwrite
7. Reboot
Your screen will now look like this, giving you much more space. And If using ADW launcher, you can use 6 X 5 rows of icons!!
Now if you really like to do things yourself, in the build.prop..
Change
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
push, reboot.
If you want to revert back, just push this Stock Build prop back into place.
Credit to the guy who made LCD Density app, but it did not work with Droid X phone and koush's recovery installed. People had to SBF, so this post was necessary.
does this change the resolution ? does it affect any apps from running correctly ?
Looks great, I think I'd like to try it. Just want to make sure it's safe I guess.

Jacked mine up.. the method works fine, the only problem is that apps are completely screwy now.. the apps only show up in the original size so if your screen is 4 inches the app is only displaying in like 2.5 inches of space and the rest is just black now, also cause some fuzziness with some various icons in the notification bar ( battery etc).. definately gonna revert back

Only seemed to have resolution problems in the root explorer app, all other apps work fine Aside from that, i think 200 is probobly a little on the low side, may try 220 or 230 for a improvement
Yea I love it but a few of my apps are also little now. I'm gonna rock it tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

Worked well for me as well.
Thanks very much.
FYI
I couldnt adb remount (got an error, not sure why but whatever)
I had to boot into recovery, then do an
Code:
adb shell
then just (assuming your modified build.prop is on the sdcard root)
Code:
mv /sdcard/build.prop /system
exit & reboot!
230 was a good middle ground
Yeah, I like how it looks mostly but some apps don't strech which is kinda annoying. I'll give it a shot for a day or two and see what I think.

I am having a problem with my screen, this has been a ongoing thing for a while now. I am running cm6 extremely blue from the 19th of Oct, no kernel mod. When I do a clean install my screen displays all images just fine. After a few days some images start looking really bad, instead of the colors blending they become bands of different colors. Its really hard to explain so I attached a screenie of the XDA app, the brown looks horrible. I know thats not the way it is as I have seen the colors blend together, no thick color lines. I ant figure it out for the life of me, is this happening on everyones phones? I dont recall it runnng Fresh rom, and like I said it takes a couple days for it to start happening on cm6. I found a few things in awd launcher that I can disable to help the situation, like wallpaper hack, scrolling widget support, turning these off and or on will help it look better on desktop, but on apps I found nothing to help improve. Could something need editing in the XML files? Or are we all seeing these lines and just dealing with them? Any feedback is appreciated
Oh, and once it starts this even a nandroid back to when it was fine doesnt help. Only a clean install does.
and happens with both apps2sd and internal storage.

This is not occurring on my pictures, gallery. My home screen is fine, as well as calendar widget. Thoroughly in handcent the gray bar up top has the color lines, slacker also has it toward the bottom where it get brighter. Could it be something in framework, maybe I can edit some sort if default setting to use 16 bit, because it looks like 8 bit graphics

I sound like your talking about dithering, like instead of something that should be a gradient it is instead broken up and where you would normally see a smooth transition from a color to color its broken with lines.
Heres some suggestions
cm settings > performance settings : enable surface dithering (which improves image quality but slows the phone some what).
reboot you phone at least once a day.
your screen density might be to high (or low) in your build.prop file.
Updated to extremely blue Oct 25 and problem is gone. Chances are in 2 or 3 days it will be back though

I had set build prop to 150 on all three, the 3rd being default. This has been a issue for some time now. I will leave build prop alone and see what happens. You are exactly right about what I am trying to explain the issue is. Can I set to 150, and what else can or can not be changed? Changing the default density to 150 was something I had never done before, screen would do this at the default 160 as well.

Are you saying your phone is running for a couple of days and then it does it, cause I daily reboot is highly recommended. The phone just doesn't have the internal memory to render the graphics on images with alot of colors.
I would try a 140 on the density.

Well yes and no, it will happen after a few days but I do reboot daily, sometimes a few reboots per day. When I edit build prop I am using Root Explorer, it saves the old file. Should I delete this file, maybe it us confusing the system? Also can I edit the default setting to 140? Thank you for your help and concern
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Build prop it is! I tried 140 and still messed up so I tried changing the default to 140 also. That did not help I took all three settings back to 160 and my screen went back to clean and clear. Why can others change the dpi, am I needing to changes something else along with the 2 numbers?
Thank You!

I have an NC, rooted with autonooter, and everything seems to be working ok, but on lots(most) app's dialogs, including the nook popup UI, I will get get white on white text.
Has anyone else seen this or have a fix? It makes several apps a guessing guessing game and checkboxes have no descriptions so I haven't been able to check any of them.
Thanks!
i have the same problem!
me too! * Hoping for a quick fix!*
So, if its not a unique issue, are there people who have working rooted nooks that don't have the issue? I'm assuming that stock/unrooted NC's don't have the issue so is this some setting that needs tweaking when we open up the rest of the android OS?

I assumed it was an issue with the rooting process.
Im having the same problem with the long-press pop-up menu in xScope. I had to use trial and error to memorize the location of each option.
Sent from my Nooted friend...
What applications are you seeing this in? I haven't noticed white on white text.
I have noticed that Tasker's action tab has light blue on dark blue that's really hard to read. I think that's the only one I've seen
How do you add a bookmark in xscope? Thanks
I've had this problem with the pop-up windows in XScope and RedditIsFun, although I feel like it must have happened at other times as well. It's always in a pop-up window.
I find the ADW settings screen very hard to read. It's white text on almost white background & I first thought that they were grayed out. Very annoying!
Cheers,
kev
I had it too. I saw it first in an email widget I got off the Market - de.invalidobject.mailwidget or something like that. White on white text on a popup.
Yes. Same here. It is very annoying to see Table of Content with white fonts on white background with my ezPDF Reader. And many pop up screens too.
I feel like the reason for this is because the apps are using the sam sort of theme that the books settings page uses.
The apps are set to be white on black but the book is set to be black on white so they get mixed up.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense it is rather late here.

I found this to be the case in the game Alchemy if you try to get info on items you've created. The popup shows hyperlinks in blue but all other text is white on white and unreadable.

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the nooting, vs just that the default text color is not appropriate for normal Android apps.
I suspect someone can find the way to fix it eventually.
it happens in lots of places
here are some screenshots of what i'm seeing, it seems to be system wide.
No text visible next to the checkbox for what I assume is something like 'set default'

In file manager context menu
and here is an example where you can almost see the white text on a settings page
It makes things kind of a guessing game, with possible bad consequences if you choose the wrong option
So, is there a way (setting/app/etc) to change the theme or text color globally or such?
thx!
What I do is I highlight an option which changes the background color of the item but I don't release so I can read what it is, bad part is I have to do it for all menus until I get used to which blank spot I can click. Hopefully we can get this fixed

Good workaround... I've been also having to use my phone as reference for apps that I use on both such as Tasker.
Such a pain in the arse, but I know help is around the corner. Someone out there with the knowhow is going to change the xml settings for font color soon and share with the rest of us.

that's what i've been doing. i'm guessing there may be a png we can edit in the system
I am hoping eventually we will have all kinds of custom themes and then all the menus will be black background like in typical android.
Anyone else experience this?
I have settings off but over the last few months I have noticed the wallpaper change of it own accord ..
On 7.0
Also what is giving me the ****s it is like a Win10 situation where it is Huawei pushing a pic from the net to me.. (or only other option would be quickpic app as I use this to set the wallpaper).
I just checked on the change this morning and the pic is not actually sitting in my gallery. And I hadn't seen this picture before.. it's not in the standard Huawei pic set..thus the theory of it being pushed from the net..
I am on stock rom..
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

I wrote above: Magazine Unlock. No root needed, you will find the folder and pics on Internal mem.
Btw, redefine the theme and put your own photo as wallpaper.
Thanks for reply..
And maybe it has something to do with theme.. but there are no "theme settings' in EMU 5.0.1..
Well as per my screen shot there is Huawei's setup..
But I actually use Apex..
So, as this same setup has been on my phone's for the last 4+ years.. (I know..why change a good thing)..
To have wall papers turn up (as said very much like Win10 does on lock screen).. but this is not my lock screen. This is main wall paper..
Thing is.. only ever so often.. only say once a month..
My feeling is they are slipping through either Apex.. or EMU..as showed.. I have settings shut down for changes..
Don't even worry about the lockscreen ones..they are not the owns turning up..

What about Themes built-in application?! - this is exactly for setting the themes, haven't you seen that and did you try to use it?
I hope, you didn't think it was a bloatware and (because you have a root), you just deleted that app before finding first what it is and why you need it.
Besides you can directly set up any picture or photo as your wallpaper.
Àlso, and again, did you look into the MagazineUnlock folder on the Internal mem (no root needed), what pictures do you see there, do they correspond to your random wallpapers?
I know there are no proper help/instructions for EMUI but you can try to get familiar with its setings and built in apps and features.
If you are not using stock ROM then you will get better help if you ask in the corresponding custom ROM thread. Also if you are using special launchers or so, then it might be a how-to question for that launcher or your own themes/wallpapers app, this is not EJUI 5.01 fault
One more tip: if by flashing back and forth various ROMs, you came to the point that you are mising some apps, particularly Themes app (maybe also Calendar, etc), then you need to go back and properly install stock ROM. This was a known case that people, after manually flashing ROMs (immproperlly or incompletely) lost some built in apps and/or got mess. In some casese it was enough to do Factory reset with wiping Internao memory (you can't with root or TWRP).
Yes,
Understand the theme app..have used it and may freeze it as I have a feeling it's over riding the "off' on change as per screen shot before..
So.. again..
NO.. the pictures that appear are not part of that directory..
Yes.. I can..and I do use quickpic to set my own home screen wallpaper..
Stock rom..nothing deleted..( I think you can see via my post account I kinda know what I am doing a tad..as been flashing tons of different devices over the years)..
So maybe theme app is pushing pictures to the phone with out my permission and wants..
Actually happened this afternoon..
Thus a freeze might be good..
Thanks for the input.. got to be happening to someone else..I can't be the only one.
Edit:. Actually just a thought, I just remembered I was forced to download the Microsoft launcher for some reason.. even through it is not what I use..I wonder if this has a hook in.. anyway, just deleted it .. will see if this is the culprit..
Hi, i recently purchased the regular Samsung Galaxy S23 and i have some weird issues with the touch.
The most annoying one is when i get out of an app say for instance 9gag/instagram and then i attempt to lock the screen by double tapping, sometimes one of the taps isn't registered and as you might expect, nothing happens. This also happens when trying to like a post on instagram, or anything related to the double tap.
Another issue occurs sometimes, when i try to just tap something, sometimes i have to tap like 2 or 4 times for the tap to register, as if i didn't tap correctly.
I tried enabling Touch Sensitivity but it didn't help at all.
I wonder if anyone else occured this problem and fixed it, or if it's just my phone. I recently applied a screen protector, hoping the issue was more about the screen being too slippery, but it didn't seem to help at all.
P.S it's a model manufactured in april, not the one with the banana camera issue.
Put into safe mode and see if a 3rd party app causing the issue. If so... take out the trash.
Try clearing the system cache.
Try a hard reboot.
Did you use SmartSwitch?

I'm googling how to get into safe mode, it's a very good idea, thank you.
Haven't really used SmartSwitch, because i had a lot of bloat on my s10+. Started from scratch. Used SmartSwitch just for pictures and contacts.

Simulates pulling the battery. Probably not needed.

I keep all social media, shopping and banking apps off the phone. Browser login only.

Never use it for critical data; it can fail you miserably. Use Samsung Contacts to import/export contacts and create backup files. Copy/paste critical data then verify file size and if readable. Make at least 2 redundant copies on drives that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
It's possible using SmartSwitch goofed up the load. I've used it and it's predecessor Kies, both are buggy particularly if going between different models or OS versions. I may need to reload one of my N10+'s because of that Best thing to do is not to use it and put together a complete, organized critical data backup plan then refresh it regularly.

Okay so i used safe mode for like an hour and then reverted to regular. I can't seem to tell if it's fixed or any different, because this doesn't happen "all the time". I will give it some time and then i'll come with a better response.
Another thought came to me..
What if the double tapping issue comes from when i do the first tap of the double tap, i somehow do a little swipe down and the phone registers it as such? Is there a way to reduce the slipperiness/smoothness of the screen to counteract this? i wouldn't mind if my screen would be less smooth, but i feel like this would really help.

I think it's probably a 3rd party app.
I don't like gesture navigation as they implemented it at all. On my N10+'s I use Galaxy Store Good Lock Navstar and One Handed Operation plus which is the gesture navigation I use. On a large the side gesture navigation works better for me but I use the virtual buttons a lot too.

I am also using goodlock with onehanded operations and other stuff. I'll keep switching between safemode and normal mode to notice any differences

You can use the app I showed to replace the lame Google gestures with virtual keys. One handed Operation plus is much better for gesture navigation and more customizable.
What it looks like... can be adjusted so it's not light up like a Christmas tree.
