Discrepancy screenzoom font sizes - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I put my wife's and my Note 8 to 411dpi then went to the screen menu options. Made adjustments to the zoom and font slider yet her not final outcome doesn't match mine or vicer versa. Attached two images about what I'm talking about. I also noticed her slider adjustment has more adjustment values that mine. Hers is the white screen , both TMO Note 8.

Looks like the dark one is running theme, uninstall the theme and see if there are still differences.

Yes you are right. It's running a theme.
This is as close I could get the two devices in font and screen zoom.
Still not identical, you think it's the theme causing this ?

Not sure, but could be. I've ran a theme and things were different, just uninstall it and see.

The answer is accessibility. If you go into display setting there and enable 'larger font sizes' at top, you will then have access to more incremental sizes regardless of DPi and theme.

*Theme-Off* Bright!

I have a challenge for those that like to theme and want something to do.
What I want to see:
A bright interface, using bright colors.
A theme that doesn't use black or any dark colors as a base color.
I don't want to see themes/interfaces using an almost all black background with white icons. Unless you have some bright icons (example: the windows 7 theme uses a black background but uses large bright icons)
Feel free to post anything you like. Please post what you're using (widgets, icons, launcher, ect) to keep questions to a minimal.
Rules:
Be creative
Be original
And have fun!
Good luck!
Oooo...i dono if I do colour. I guess I'll give out a go. What's the prize? Hehe

I probably won't get anything done for this comp. I love my set-up too much to go bright, too hours to get it there. But if I did, it'd be rainbow icon animations

As far as you want to go pictures of your homescreen would be enough in my opinion, but again go as far as you want

Nice!! The contrast of red to the green wallpaper has a christmas-cy feel to it.

Please consider donating by purchasing the full version if you like my work for support further development.
I like it. Will we get different colors?
A red/green/blue version maybe or angular shaped on/off buttons.
Keep theming :thumbup:
This looks beautiful! I also hope they'll be colors like light blue

Yes, we are working on a green version now, blue, red, purple and white will come next (at least). I will keep you posted.
Works fine on my Nexus 4 but I can not install it on my Nexus 7 2013. Play Store says it's incompatible.

Great theme. I love themes that are just a touch of color and don't rape the user's eyes with gaudy images or anything like that.
Nav buttons are top notch too! Well, you sold me on it. I got the paid version, well done!
Just gives 401 error. It will not install ,can ya help me out this theme looks so good yo.
I'm really liking this. With the paid version, Is the messenger inverted? Or does it have a white background (similar to the dialer screenshot)?

I purchased and the Messenger is not inverted. Any plans to theme it or any of the other google apps?
Thanks!

Display Scaling Possible?

On my S7, I was able to change the display resolution and fit more on the screen. N8 has that built into the OS but everything is too large even in the smallest setting. Is there a way to reduce the display further with Nova launcher or something?
Have you tried changing the DPI setting under minimum width in the developer options menu
No, what would you change it to so it doesn't screw things up?
Keyboard and icons don't scale well when doing it. So annoying.

It goes to 411. Going to 460 I believe is where it starts to get really bad.

F. awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks dude!
i use 444 and all looks good
I run at 550 the only thing I have noticed is setting up the phone you have to keep your dpi low.
Edit : I am an idiot running that on S8 I was lurking Note 8 forums not the S8 forums my bad.

I know I should not be in here I can feel my wallet getting lighter.
I run 625, 600 is where the browser switches to tablet format. Nova makes dealing with icons very easy. I set them at 125% and scaled the icon font up. You can then adjust the icon grids to a more natural layout.
Queston. The device model works well but defaults to its values when you toggle resolution.
Is there an app that can resolve this?

Posted in the other homescreen thread, but I'll post it here also.
Using TextIconCreator Icon Pack and Nova Launcher Labs which allows for up to 16 desktop grid rows. I set mine to 15 rows and 7 columns. Instructions here.

Main screen (unfold)
This is one
Here is one of my homescreen shots
What do you think?
Just got my fold and here is my homescreens
I'm surprised that no-one has done something creative with the Fold's large notch yet. We saw lots of wallpapers and whatnot for the S10 series when those devices came out; then again for the N10 series. Someone ought to be able to work the Fold's notch into an artistic scene somehow.
Got a diablo theme going on the larger wallpaper is actually animated perfectly as well
Here is mine, it's a live wallpaper
Do all of you keep single screen page inside or have more than one page?
It is unfortunate that when we setup our phone home screens when the phone is folded, it doesn’t keep the same setting when the phone is unfolded.
