I was playing around with dpi settings using adb (no root). I set the dpi to 700 on my note 5 and rebooted. Now all I see is my wallpaper and I can't see or access anything other than the power off menu. Help!
Try: adb shell wm density reset

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
OK to start I am not a fan of the stock dpi of any of my phones (I feel they make everything too big).
Coming from a note 3 I pretty much know which apps to keep at stock dpi so the app doesn't break or look weird and found a few more for the note 4. But this time around a few got me scratching my head.
I changed my android system and system ui DPI to 320 using app settings from xposed
Corrected the apps that need to run at 640
Everything's great except
- recent apps when you press the button, dpi stays small.
Anyone have an idea of what apps I might have missed changing back to stock?
made thread for it

- lockscreen when I have the fingerprint reader on; the phone, camera and arrow doesn't line up correctly however when it's on swipe only the camera lines up correctly.

I posted this in a different dpi thread, but for the lockscreen, change keyguard back to 640. You'll need to do a full reboot for it to take effect (app settings killing app doesn't work). I also set it to include widgets in the app settings screen but I'm too lazy to check if that's needed or not.
No idea about recent apps.

Odd - I just double checked the settings I have for com.android.keyguard in App Settings and the only changes I made are:
- DPI: 640
- Checked the 'Apply res to widgets' box
It didn't change on killing app but did work after a full reboot. My lockscreen with fingerprint on looks perfect with lcd_density in build.prop set to 480.
I changed the dpi of the phone to 480 and modified the problem apps back to 640. So far everything looks good except the popup for symbols on the keyboard (the window that pops up when you press and hold a key on the keyboard). Keyboard was set to 640. Anyone know what I need to change to correct this?

i thought i replied back to you already but i guess it didnt sennd on my phone.
i missed checking apply res to widgets lol. didnt even notice and have forgotten before without problems.
Thanks, 480 worked for me! I'll probably end up switching to swiftkey in the future, but for now I'm trying to determine how important the floating keyboard is for me

no problem,
its why i kept it in the past put i got over it after i switched but its easy to switch back when you need it. when your in the text field and the keyboard pops up just pull down your notification bar (which i have programmed as a home swipe up) and click 'choose input method' and switch at will. just make sure you have the keyboards in question active.
any updates on the fix for recent apps? everything looks good on my phone at 420 DPI except the recent apps - not sure which app to reset to 640 dpi
I want to use the fire (ford) as a photoframe.
Even after rooting and removing the ads it requires a swipe (or password) to unlock the screen.
Is there any way to disable the lockscreen entirely so that the device can boot up into my dayframe app directly and show pictures?
I already tried the nova launcher and several apps (e.g. "no lock") without success.
Any luck removing the lock screen.

Custom ROM.
I know this is an older post but I found a way to achieve this 90% of the way. I have tested a lot of methods; apps, tasker tasks, adb input swipes and keyevents, sqlite mods but so far only this nets a consistent and reliable result. I use these devices as Home Automation panels so I gotta get this thing out of my life so I'll continue to look but like it was mentioned before its probably gonna require customizing Android (likely the manifest). If I figure out something more or better I'll be sure to post.
Install Xposed and the Lockscreen Disabler module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lr.keyguarddisabler)
You're going to have to unlock the screen after each boot but that is the only time so if your devices do not require multiple reboots like mine do then you will be okay.
EDIT: Apologies! I did this on my Fire HD, not Fire! (Too many tablets in this household.) It doesn't work on the Fire, but I'm gonna leave it in case it gives someone else some clues.
I disabled my lockscreen with sqlite3. Do not mistake me for someone who knows sqlite. I only figured this out by carefully testing commands I found online. From what I've read, you could mess things up pretty badly with sqlite, so there's your warning.
sqlite3 is in my /system/xbin. I don't know if it came stock or if busybox installed it.
I tested disabling/enabling a couple times. Been running with no lockscreen through multiple reboots for 2 days. Hope this works for others.
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/system
sqlite3 locksettings.db
UPDATE locksettings SET value = '1' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled';
.quit
Exit out of su and reboot
To get the lockscreen back, change the '1' to '0'
.
Anyone know if there is a way to stop Fire OS 5.4.0.1 or 5.6 from going to Lock Screen? I want my HD 10 and HD 8 tablets to stay wake 100% of the time - using them for wall mounted home control.
thx

Not possible on unrooted FireOS short or pegging the CPU or simulating touchscreen activity.

Unfortunately for OS 6.xxx, "sqlite3" does not exist in /system/xbin.
Any idea how to remove lock screen for Fire7 (2019) , which is on OS 6.x.x.x.?
Edit : I found a solution for Fire7 (2019):
To Remove LockScreen entirely:
(1). Install SQLite Datebase Editor by Supertommino
(2). Launch SQLite Editor → File explorer → data → system → locksettings.db → locksettings
(3). Edit the value of “lockscreen.disabled“ to “1”
(4). Reboot

Fire 7 2019 you can also do:
After rooting install Actitivty Manager from the play store, run com.android.settings$ScreenLockSuggestionActivity under the settings app (which takes you to the default lock screen options) and then selecting "none"

Would you please provide the link to Activity Manager, as there are a few apps with similar sounding names.
Thanks.

I was testing the new dpi setting on Android 7.0 and i put the dpi to 600. Then options crashed and doesn't open anymore. Everything else works fine. I don't want to keep my dpi at 600 so please help.

U will get settings on half screen. Go to delevoper settings and change DPI.
how does dpi settings survive boot in Oreo on p9 AL10? thx
Hello everyone,
Can someone with a pixel 4 xl please run these two commands using adb (their computer) and report the output? I changed the values and can't figure out the default values. I appreciate your help!
Code:
adb shell settings get secure sysui_rounded_size
adb shell settings get secure sysui_rounded_content_padding

Ran it, got "null" for both.
Same here.
The phone doesn't actually "round" the corners, the screen is just literally cut off at the corners. This becomes more obvious when you take a screenshot
Leave the value blank or at 0. Whichever makes the most sense in the context of that file.

thanks guys for your replies. Setting the padding value to 5 actually changed the behavior of the status bar icons and where they are in my phone and I was wondering how to revert it back to what it was.
Maybe I should just unset or set them to null.
