[Q] 1080p preinstalled lockscreen wallpapers request

Hi there. Updated my familiar's Lumia 525 to Lumia Cyan and noticed that lock screen wallpaper (preinstalled ones) are changed, old ones were removed (except one that was already chosen on Lumia Black software). She wanted to see those backgrounds again and I have found them on that site (in Russian). Now I have an idea to collect all the wallpapers that were presented in Windows Phone including 7.0, 7.5, 7.8 (if it different between versions) and 8.1. And of cource I want to get them with maxed out quality which is 1080p for the 8.1 and probably 720p because there were no phones with 1080p screens on Windows Phone 7 platform.
Problem is, there is no way to get those wallpapers from the stock phone. You need to have Full File System Access to get those pictures. I have downloaded leaked Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator image, but there were only Windows Phone 8 (GDR 0 to 3) wallpapers there (but 1080p quality, same ones that were presented on site above). So my request is only applicable to the interop-unlocked Lumias, if the phones like 920 has this location:
(Phone):\Windows\SYSTEM32\lockscreen\1080x1920

I don`t know the location for WP7.X devices, but think it should be somewhere there it.
Also there would be nice if someone will provide maxed out lockscreen backgrounds from the current version of the Live Lock Screen app for Microsoft. If they are not protected somehow, all you need is to install the app to SD Card and then use @djamol method. Any Windows Phone 8.1 updated device should be up to do this. I tried to just move the app on my device from the phone storage to SD card, but then there is no Install folder I can copy files from. Doesn`t want to loose my background settings by reinstalling directly to SD card.

You can download and extract firmware

Or just use the normal (not-all-capability) version of the Webserver app in my signature. It's perfectly capable of browsing and downloading files from the Windows folder!

Yes, webserver app is working, but there's only 480x800 wallpapers on my Lumia 620 with latest 8.1 Developer Preview (I has reasons not to update to Cyan at now and it`s unavailable for me OTA)
I need 1080p ones (should be present on any 930/Icon, 1520 or Incoming HTC One M8)

Oh. It would be great if it will work. I have Navifirm+ with full access, so can you please tell me is there any phone with screen that larger that 800x480 (even Lumia 900 sized that way ) and what the software versions should I download for 7.0, 7.5 "Mango" and 7.8 for that large screen phone and also what the tool should I use to open that firmware? Thanks.

Well yeah, of course the 620 doesn't have the high-res wallpapers. I was just telling you (and everybody else) how they can get those wallpapers off their phones. Somebody with a higher-resolution phone will have access to the high-resolution wallpapers, no need for the Full FS Access hack.

Thanks. Just explored 930/Icon firmware downloaded from NaviFirm+ and took wallpapers from it. But there is a little problem. On my Lumia 620 there is more wallpapers than I could find on the extracted firmware. I don`t even know where they're located. Here is some pics describing this:
Those I could find are with lime green border and those I couldn't are with red. No such pictures into 930 firmware, at least, unencrypted. Any suggestions?
Also, @GoodDayToDie, can you please respond to my PM I sent on 1st of September and then it was marked as read at 4th of September, no response since then

Changing Note 4 DPI settings and what to change back to stock *Updated 4/25/2015*

Originally posted in TMO Note 4, but it should work for your variant too
If you notice anything missing or you use an app I don't and would like it added jut let me know
OK, so I love changing the DPI of my phone and apps. so i thought why not share what I know with others.
These are the apps that I feel are needed to be changed , so if you think i missed one just tell me and I'll add it.
another note i don't use the touchwiz launcher and different roms can use one that's modded.
of course your phone needs to be ROOTED
you can use whatever app you like to change your DPI, I used xposed app settings and would suggest the same
NOTE 4 default DPI is 640
In xposed app settings to change your system DPI you turn on
android system & system ui
and change it to your desired DPI (320 for me).
(you can also change it using the build.prop)
I guess its necessary to say this:
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR DPI IN ANY WAY, DO AS STATED BELOW
These apps you will need to change back to stock: 640
camera
camera test
com.sec.android.gallery3d.panorama360view
com.sec.android.ofviewer
com.sec.android.sviewcover
com.sec.phone
contacts
gallery
incallui
com.android.mms
phone
photo studio
s health
samsung camera filter
touchwiz home
video trimmer
not changing some can cause it to not function properly or FC
These setting are recommended if you use them:
S-Voice
- you don't have to change the dpi to stock unless you want to but if you get a FC change the screen dp to 480x854
Samsung Keyboard
- you can leave it the same as your new DPI or change it to stock DPI if the secondary icons alignment bothers you, check the box 'apply res to widgets',
Lockscreen (com.android.keyguard)
- you don't have to change this one back to stock but if you use lockscreen security the bottom will look weird
- to change it to stock, enter the stock DPI (640) and check the box 'apply res to widgets'. A reboot will be requried
Smart Remote
-change dpi back to stock and change screen dp to 320x480
Calendar
-if you use it I recommend you change it back to stock because the on screen notification size will be off
Wink app
-it will think your using a tablet and causes issues so change to stock
Swiftkey
-resize using keyboards builtin resizer
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO HIT SAVE ON EACH ONE AND REBOOT YOUR PHONE AFTER
IF I MISSED ANYTHING OR YOU WANT ANYTHING ADDED PLEASE TELL ME
THIS ARE MY PERSONAL SETTINGS AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THE SAME ITS AT YOU OWN FREE WILL

sorry
I fixed the title, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the guide bro!

Thanks for this. 320DPI is too small for my ageing eyesight but 500DPI makes the phone already much more useable.
What is the app or process for the recent app list (long press Home)? This is now narrow and I would like it to fill the width of the screen.

You also need to reset KeyguardTestActivity to stock DPI and check the 'apply to widgets' box. That will sort out the lockscreen
Edit: I see you already mention this, so please ignore

Can someone post UI pics with ADB lcd density density changed

I'd like to know how Samsung's UI changes with the LCD density changed to the lowest setting before the keyboard turns to "tablet mode".
For example, setting the density (using " adb shell wm density XXX") on the OnePlus 3/3T to anything lower than 289 enables tablet mode, causing chrome to show tabs in the top bar, and the keyboard to change its layout. I have the density set to 289 on my 3T right now. Stock Android just looks massive to me.
If you have a Note 8, could you please set the LCD density using adb (the stock display size setting doesn't go low enough for me) and report how the dialer, camera, keyboard and general ui looks, and if certain things don't work? I remember with the Note 7, lowering the density caused the camera and dialer to shift to the left, but TW may have grown adaptive because of the need to work across multiple sizes.
I would really really appreciate it!!!!

You can just try this out yourself. Enable developer settings and you can just modify LCD Density (DPI) from right in there. No root or ADB required. I'm running on about 460 I think. Stock wasn't small enough for me either.

@imatts check out this app by a recognized dev i met during my work on the LG V20. It needs the adb command ran since we dont have root, but is really simple to use and provides a few options that stock settings is missing

I would, but I don't have the Note 8, its still shipping. Sorry I didn't mention that lol
I am very familiar with ADB, since every one of my phones have been rooted and I use adb to set density and manually remove bloatware.

It's defaulted to 411. I think 460 is too small.
Anyone find a sweet spot yet?

I'm using 371. Looks good so far.

Thanks, I didn't realize TW has main width built in to dev options.
Could you set that number to 290 and show me the phone app dialer??
You are amazing for doing this BTW!!!

Isn't higher smaller content and more content? You wanted things even larger in screen?

Samsung also allow 3 basic dpi adjustments in Settings > Display > Screen Zoom and Font.
These are 'Small' 411dpi, 'Medium' 360dpi, and 'Large' 320dpi. You can also then set font size separately for that screen size.

I think everyone (myself included) is just getting confused with the ADB shell wm density change. The LCD density is on a smaller number / smaller content, whereas the dev setting "width" is the opposite (larger number = smaller content.
So my LCD density of 289, is the exact same as setting the width to 597.
So yes, using the dev settings, I'd probably set that number to 597

I think you can disable it in /data/data/cn.nubia.supersnap/shared_prefs/cn.nubia.supersnap_preferences.xml
I'm not sure if it works tho.
If it doesn't work check out "Screen Recorder", it allows recording at FullHD and Support internal Audio Recording if you install the Magisk Module.

Simply follow updated instructions for A9 in my last post. Or upgrade off A9, Nubia abuses strandhogg on A9. PURPOSEFULLY ENDING SUPPORT THE MONTH BEFORE STRANDHOGG IS PATCHED.

Yellow tint/Green tint Brightness Issue Fix (Exynos Only)

Many Galaxy devices have a Serious issue.
You can't adjust brightness and your display is greenish and not usable.
After many years of hard work and researching.
I found the best and free method to fix this issue
The world first solution without replacing the display.
This will help you to get a 100% usable display.
I spent lot of hard time for this.
Today I will show how to fix this issue by flashing a custom ROM and some small stuff
- There is a way to use Samsung stock roms but it's not stable if anyone interested in that please let me know I will help -

}
First of all your device must be the Exynos model
1) Install TWRP
2) Make a EFS backup (very important)
3) Download and install (flash) any Aosp ROM,
(Evolution x ROM recommended)
4) Root your device (if ROM already have Root you're good to go)
5) Download Color changer pro & pwmfree Apk files (can't provide download links for color changer pro because it's a paid app you can find it somewhere on internet for free) Asop roms doesn't limit maximum brightness but Samsung roms does. So after flashing aosp ROM you can easily bypass display flickering issue by setting brightness to maximum amount easily by brightness slider top on notification panel.
6) (VERY IMPORTANT) install PWMfree and give notification permissions and display overly permissions.
- DON'T USE YOUR DEVICE AT MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS WITHOUT USING THIS APP !
This app helps you to decrease amount of brightness by adding a black overly on your display it's working like your adjusting screen Brightness.
7) after installing color changer pro and open it you will ask Root permission and there will be a custom 1,2,3 tabs touch and hold to edit values my best adjustment is R: 239 , G:238 , B: 255 , S: 1.00
And it depends on your display and your choice just slowly play with it till you get the best results and make sure you save the values
Enable developer mode and set all animations to off this will help when screen is dimming while screen timeout.
"Every time you reboot your device it's adjusting the brightness auto and fix itself (pwmfree)
But after every reboot just open color changer pro and select your custom mode it's only need to set if you only reboots"
- There is a way to use Samsung stock roms but it's not stable if anyone interested in that please let me know I will help -
That's all your device is so much better than before
Thanks me later..

No need to install anything, its hardware issue not software issue.
Only reliable fix is to turn on AlwaysOn to always show, let it go to normal color after locking display and wake it with press on home button not a hardware button, works like a charm.
Without installing any third party apps with suspicious wakeups and logs.
No hard feelings tho.

brother every display is not the same
your display is not hardly damaged
And the issue is the display flex cable this method will work for same devices but not for all devices i have played with this for 4 years and you are correct if the display is not hardly damaged.
I can show you if there is a doubt about it because i tried your method long time ago its worked for Galaxy note 10+ but didnt worked for galaxy s9 plus & note 9 but worked for another note 8.
If your method didnt help this is the last method you can try other than rreplacing the display flex cable (our country there is no place to replace the flex only opinion is to replace the display)
