MHL Resolution changing permanently? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I was searching for an option to change the MHL-Native output resolution I figured out that you can change it in the service menu. For that type *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer.
I was wondering if anybody had the chance to change this setting permanently. After a reboot the default settings are restored again. Is it possible to access these values via some coding/app?
I need it for an app which controls a pico-projector. This is connected through an HDMI->VGA converter and runs with 640x460px at maximum.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] LCR-F 2.0 => Always "No Landscape Fullscreen"

When i select HTC_IMEmod or the standard one as keboard; Uncheck "No landscape fullscreen" (checking it does not change anything), I am not able to get into the fullscreen mode.
So, it doesn't look like (image under http => fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/30778/image/pics/snap20100516_104027.png) independant whether I check the option or not.
Does anyone know that issue or how to fix it?
Thanks
Re

Script to make these hidden menu settings stick?

Hello I listen to music at a very considerate level and on android there is only 15 steps for volume I cannot change that so i looked in the hidden menu to change the max volume luckily i found it in "set gain" the problem is that in JB they don't work properly and reset themselves randomly also when i reboot the phone. it had became a rule in ics everytime i plugged in headphones i would change those settings set gain HS_DL to 9 in normal,headphone,voice mode everytime but it has become an annoyance so would there be a way to have more volume steps or maybe make these settings stick? by build.prop or file editing in the system? idk a flashable zip whatever would be good.

Notifications DPI settings

Hi,
I want to change the screen resolution of notifications to a less larger screen so more text will fit on the screen.
I'm on NULL_23 and have Xposed App Settings installed.
I tried changing the "messages" to different dpi setting, but it stays the same.
Anyone know how I need to set the dpi settings ?
EDIT : Never mind, I was on the correct path with the Xposed App Settings but ofcourse I need to enable the module otherwise it won't work

HW Overlay bug on stock firmware LRX21V

If you are using the stock Android TV firmware and when you sideload some apps you see some strange visual effect like a distortion or black popup not accessible or the mouse icon doubled this is caused by the HW Overlay bug.
This not happen in any other Android device with hdmi output, is the first time that i see it.
Well, you could workaround this annoying bug disabling HW overlay in developer options.
Unfortunately in the stock firmware of the Nexus Player you don't have this field in developer options.
On the Nexus Player, to workaround the bug and select manually "Disable HW Overlay" / "Always use GPU for screen compositing" you can do in this way:
( you need root permissions )
Install Terminal Emulator, enable the virtual keyboard in the Nexus Player to write well in Terminal Emulator and type:
su
service call SurfaceFlinger 1008 i32 1
As suggested by KalenXI you can also disable at boot time the HW Overlay in this way:
" You can either use Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin to set it on boot. Or use Tasker's shell action to run "service call SurfaceFlinger 1008 i32 1" as root on boot. "

For Intel developers:
The problem on cursor overlay appear when the mouse icon is present and before the system remove the icon, a multi touch gesture add sprites.
Mainly the switch between mouse icon and sprite fails.
You can test also with an hardware multi touch trackpad.
This problem is not present in any other device.
For the proplem on popup i not have idea.
For sure the HW Overlay needs corrections.
Thanks.
I was connected to my monitor through HDMI, unfortunately my monitor had an issue with its HDMI pixel ratio, and the monitor didn't have an over scan feature... I was tired of using my overscan app, so I connected the player to an HDMI to VGA adapter (with audio splitter), and sense I've started using the VGA adapter I have had no ghosting, of the mouse, ghost images, or otherwise, and no black block appears around the mouse icon/ see through icon (sprite glitch)

Changing Display Mode (Galaxy S8+ Adaptive/AMOLED Photo) when launching an app?

I have a Galaxy S8+. I use AMOLED Photo display mode, mostly because when I tweak a photo in Instagram, Snapseed,or Lightroom, I like it to be a fairly accurate representation on my phone's display, as the default Adaptive mode is oversaturated. But at other times, the Adaptive mode can look rather nice.
So what I'd like to do is when I launch something like Instagram or Snapseed, is to have Tasker switch the display mode to AMOLED Photo, and change back to Adaptive when I close the app.
It's a basic setting. Settings > Display > Display Mode > and you choose from one of 4 options with a radio button for each.
I tried using AutoInput, by using it to open display settings, then clicking display mode, then clicking AMOLED Photo. This is clunky, and slow, and the settings windows show on screen. And I then have to dismiss the settings window. Is there a way I can toggle that specific setting directly using some kind of plugin, without having to simulate all the key presses? Or have it change behind the scenes, not actually on screen?
Perhaps a shell command would work, if it has a specific system shell command? Is there a way to determine or interrogate if there is any kind of shell command?
Thanks!

I dont know about plugins, but you can check if there is a setting or intent regarding the display mode.
Run the following commands in terminal to see if there is a setting regarding display mode.
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]# You can also write something like: settings list system > tasker.txt[/COLOR][/B]
settings list system
settings list global
settings list secure
[/HIDE]
You can change the settings which youve got from previous commands by using those commands:
Code:
[B][COLOR="Blue"]# Get the value/status of a setting[/COLOR][/B]
settings get global name_of_setting — returns status of setting (such as 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled)
[B][COLOR="Blue"]# Change the value/status of a setting[/COLOR][/B]
settings put global name_of_setting 0 — disables setting
settings put global name_of_setting 1 — enables setting
settings put system ...
settings put secure ...
[/HIDE]
You can also check if there is any intent for display mode in Settings.apk by using Manifest Viewer which shows the AndroidManifest.xml of every apk (where the intents are defined or something).
If there is a setting for display mode or if there is a intent, then its quite easy to set up a Tasker profile to achieve what you want.
You can also try to ask on Reddit ( /r/tasker ) since there are some people with good knowledge and /r/tasker is more popular than here on xda.
Thanks for your reply. You were on the right track. I had also asked on the Tasker Reddit.
But I need root to do what I want, and I'm not prepared to lose the warranty on my S8+ just yet.
Thanks anyway
