Hi, I'm running into the issue that the screen is being rendered larger than the physical size of the screen so status boxes sometimes partially off screen and app icons get half hidden in the corners.
I plaid around with build.prop, but it didn't really help any. Is there a way to modify the home screen without changing the resolution? Also, if anyone knows of a way to change icon sizes short of installing a different launcher, that would be a huge plus.
TIA!
I've read that there are limitations in place for the preview image that kind of create this problem. If I understand the problem correctly it may be a case of changing pixel density but the preview image doesn't let you go beyond a certain density so even then the problem still exists. It's probably just something we have to deal with until Honeycomb becomes publically available for development.
This makes sense. The only reason I care about this is that when I use Aldiko, I can't see the top line of text because it pushes the words above the actual screen.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an E-Reader that they use successfully on HC???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?

I haven't really looked into this but I do know there are ports of honeycomb for various phones such a the evo, maybe try pulling the build.prop from one of those and see howe they altered screen density.

i've tried changing the number but havent had much success through the buid.prop. Any ideas on a good number and which number to change? Looks like there are 3 density numbers
For Honeycomb, I found that 120 is the best lcd density, it shows all the options when you expand the settings from the clock, it also displays the correct number of running apps in the quick change button (or whatever you call it) Also, Lcddensity is a good app for trying out diffrent settings. For Aldiko, I recommend increasing the margin size to see the top line of text, not a perfect solution, but it works.
My mothers lumia 535 broke down, so I got her a Lumia 550, which is a big dissapointment for her since she's elderly and now the icons/tiles do not discriminate by color as simply as with wm 8.1, nor is de font on the tiles big enough, even on highest setting.
If I could give her the wm 8.1 iconpack again, I think that would help. I haven't found an app so far that can do that.
Also I would much appreciate a way to make the font size on the start screen tiles even bigger.
The Lumia 550 has HD resolution and that's why she can't read the labels anymore. And since everything is blue tiled, that doesn't help.
Anyone has any suggestions ? I would rather have her keep this 4G phone since whatsapp is finaly bearable compared to 3G.
What I have tried already :
- Transparancy of start is 0%
- Show more tiles off, but then that gives me giant tiles and still rather small font labels, so reset to normal view of tiles
- font size text scaling set to the full right (doesn't doe much for the tiles)
Thanks!
Hello everyone.
I'm spending some time with "Tiles Art"
I have 2 question today:
Do you know if it is possible to make TALL tiles?
You can only resize them as "square" (small or big) OR "wide" (as wide as 2 squares). I wanted to know if there is a way (or a app) to add a feature such as resize "tall" (as tall as 2 squares)... actually the best would be to ALSO a second feature whit resize as wide as 3 squares! when Start Screen shows 3 columns ninstead of 2.
I really misses this
The other question. Is it possible to make NON clickable empty Tiles ?!? Some apps allows to make empty transparent tiles, a tap on them brings me to the application itself... quite annoying. A better application like "Start Perfect" makes empty transparent tiles with a link to a black screen... it's better... indeed, but unclickable Tilles would be the definitive solution. :good: . Any idea how to get this ?!
Many thanks to you all for whatever kind of help.
This isn't really a questions, more an answer. Though many questions hide here...
I like to use my Note 4's S-pen to annotate excel files (and others). The app that works best is WPS Office (formerly kingsoft). It has one really annoying "feature": when it detects that the device is a phone, it doesn't allow you to annotate using the pen. Only when the DPI is 480 or lower do you get something like tablet mode, and then the pen works.
(Maybe it has something to do with Samsung dropping Kingsoft?)
I can adjust the DPI by using the Xposed AppSettings module, and the DPI does change, but the detection of tablet/phone does not. I tried to play with various AppSettings setting, but nothing convinced WPS to allow me to use the pen.
Second option is to change DPI via system/build.prop. That works! However, now my phone has small fonts and icons. These I can adjust with AppSettings.
The last thing left is the statusbar. (I need large statusbar icons while driving/navigating, because I'd like to know if the battery is slowly increasing or slowly decreasing...)
I tried various Xposed modules to change status bar size, nothing worked.
Finally, the following worked: in AppSettings, adjust DPI for the app "System UI". That allows the statusbar to be bigger and readable (it also adjusts the Notification bar...)
A long series of problems finally solved... maybe
1. What do you use to annotate documents?
2. Any other way to convince WPS to enable the pen?
3. Is there a better way to change status bar size?
I'm on latest stock Touchwiz 6.0.1, T-mobile.
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and am trying to figure out how to get a clock to display on my AA like in the example image.
The clock on my AA is very very tiny and in the upper left hand corner at all times.
I would really love to be able to display a clock and date like in the example image, but I can only get secondary apps like Spotify to display in the split screen.
I just can't find any info or figure out how to get a clock to display there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Jason
I guess the right part of the screen is from the car itself...
The UI of Android Auto on this picture does not look like Coolwalk. Therefore there is no split screen possible with Android Auto.
