Change status bar size on Note 4 - Galaxy Note 4 General

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.

Honeycomb: Problem with default screen resolution

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???

You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

Dialer/Call Screen mods/fixes

After recently rooting my J7, I've decided to use one of the resolution changing apps to give my phone a 1080x1920 pixel faked resolution, with a dpi of 280. For the most part, it works. Some built-in apps such as the camera or even the touchwiz launcher (seems some UI elements used hard-coded numbers to define regions, or in case of the camera, the view is almost a quarter of the screen with black around the edge, and the touch input is offset to a different corner.
All else seemed good, until I realized another major flaw - the call screen - it works, however when trying to pull up the keypad when in a call, it only displays a single, gigantic 1 button. no other buttons are available. Button-based menus are of course now impossible to navigate... unless every button to press is 1, 1 and 1. And then 1.
Can't take pictures of it now as the resolution change causes an issue for screenshots - I'll need to get a screenshot app for this, but ultimately, are there apps that replace the call screen? I thought a dialer app would fix this but the one I have only replaces the text/call/contacts apps, not actually calling. I'd prefer there to be an app that can replace it, as it seems most third party apps are almost never hard-coded to a specific resolution, meaning I'd imagine it should work on my modded phone.
If more explanations are needed I can try to provide some screenshots as needed when i'm done. I'm really hoping I don't have to reset the screen. I love how everything works otherwise...

Few things i noticed after upgrading to Android Q

I made a post after getting pie update and now, here is an in-depth list of features of android Q in ZMP M1
all phones are not getting the same features
removing screen lock /fingerprint doesn't save you from password after update (at least it didn't work for me ) make a backup of everything in case you need to reset
list of things I'll suggest making a backup
WhatsApp chat
google photos
apps with es file explorer or any such file manager
settings + contacts+ call log+ messages from settings backup
notification led :
I like to turn it off all the rime even when charging but in android Q I couldn't find any way to disable it during charging
i was checking my old post about pie
1. Ambient Display : settings>display>advance>Ambient Display
It works only when you get a notification (its dope would like it being enabled always) though Daydream nowhere to be found.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so ambient display is gone screensaver is back (edit: its renamed and moved to display lock screen area as new notification toggle)
volume panel:
change volume click more slider button and this is how to devolve UI it shows a big screen covering prompt to show sliders
font in developer settings only two options device default seems better
no third-party launcher supports the new gesture navigation but it is a problem on google's part
left earphone to week? there is audio balance in assessability settings
vibratin and haptic feedback in assessability
not the true dark mode in assessability settings dark theme and color inversion options are nearby enough to test what we could have got for dark mode
dark mode doesn't get turn back to a light mode in live wallpaper
assessability volume key shortcut might come in in handy for some but it makes a notification sound
there is charging sound and vibration in sound settings might want to turn it off, I have seen Samsung charging sound but Asus just makes the phone vibrate with a faint sound might scare people who don't know as it's on by default in android q
I am getting the rotate once button in navbar when autorotate is off I am using two-button navigation and a small circle when using gesture
the lockdown option to prevent unlock by any other means now also prevents notification to show can be enabled in display>lock screen display> show lockdown option
in gesture navigation you can swipe up and continue in an app to make it go smaller beyond it should go
to start android it asks for setup screen lock password it is stepping in the right direction but we should have it in kernel/bios as once entered in recovery mode anyone can reset a phone
QR code to share wifi available
still no way to monitor or block devices connected to your hotspot
default Bluetooth name QCOM-BTD Qualcomm's BLE chip?
widgets to settings shortcut there should be system UI tuner after opening it shows this funny warning message
apps notificatio>notification snoozing useless button more useless because cant see snooze option in youtube notification
battery saver got new auto turn off at 90% feature
battery picture in battery settings seems thick would prefer "ampere app" like stats in later versions
display don't have color temperature adjust
accelerated location something about data storage and data concent
high accuracy, battery saver, etc options for location not available
google play system update is 1 January 2020 please update it
security patch is 5nov 2019
privacy section is great but would like fingerprint prompt in autofill scenario as like for wifi sharing
digital wellbeing well let's skip it as I already have 18 unlocks 1 hr30 mins in the settings app and will have 4hr+ in youtube so let's skip it
verificatin code auto fill in google settings I something nice to have but also worrying
now you can directly launch apps from app info after force stopping
in about phone >emergency info> medical info you can add your profile pic and emergency contacts
dev options> picture color mode sRGB does this option even work any were?
in dark mode theme when searched in settings there is a white padding
dev options> game driver properties I don't know what it does perhaps boost graphics performance
feature flags section in dev options shows nothing except experimental (edit: these were removed in Q beta 3)
system traces have many options like pre CPU buffer and in the category, it has some tick box options and possibly CPU performance after we stop getting updates
swipe up to recent in any navigation option seem a bit too sensitive
audio seems of though I only watched youtube (Linus tech tips) so far that is without headphones
in dev options audio Bluetooth codec shows APTX HD and other option which might make Bluetooth audio great
in dev options profile HWUI seems new but not sure what it is the bars shown on-screen seems familiar
in dev options adaptive notification priority makes no difference and doesn't have any description but a quick google search shows it is supposed to make low notification priority genital
in dev options apps can be installed in external storage option
in dev options force activities resizable doesn't work in split-screen view but I may be doing something wrong
also I hate the lock icon when unlocking also there is no center icon with face/fingerprint or padlock in lock screen
in dev options wifi entending option might help in office or home to extend wifi if it works
in dev options enable freeform windows doesn't work
in dev options forced desktop scant be tested as no video output but wireless display might allow haven't tested
in dev options I enabled bubble notification will add things that can access it
in dev options auto fill section is too vague and I am not getting what anything does
in the last pie post I said
2. icons in overview/multitasking screen

it is now in theming in dev options
also ambient display (not to be confused with screensaver) kicks in when getting notification while the screen is off (edit: realized after posting this Asus renamed and moved to it to display> lock screen display> new notification )
widevine changed to L3 its used to stream Amazon Prime Video, BBC, Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and Disney+ use Widevine DRM to manage the distribution of premium content. as a college student who has no job and already has to spend money on Jio internet I don't have any above-mentioned subscriptions and if you do use any services according to other beta testers you won't be supposably able to access them while in beta.
camera app
in pro mode no shutter speed control option
max iso in pro mode is 1600 like in HMD global camera
auto video encoder is h264
portrait mode has extremely bad edge detection
night mode isn't that good
no fps option for video like 24,25,29.98,30,60 fps etc
no raw support in stock camera app resulting in assumption camera2api isn't enabled by default, though I enabled it in pie and it carried forward maybe so I am not sure.
it is a bit long but if you are reading this then thanks for reading till the end I'll format the whole thing later
{Mod edit: Quoted OP removed for better reading}
There's really no option for notification led,
You get wake display for new notifications in lock screen display
I don't like that either its ugly pie sliders were better.
Is that even important fonts are fonts and generally no aosp thing gets custom font support and Google sans are for pixel things. Idk about which fonts will our phone get.
Third party launchers will work after December android security patch builds.
Dark mode is in display options and works good.
I don't know what dark theme and wallpaper have to do.
The srgb thing works but android or its apps aren't made to use srgb colors default is rgb which is used by most of the web.
Feature flags were removed by Google in beta 3 of Android 10.
Force activities resizable makes apps which don't work or don't allow split screen (insta) are made to be opened in split screen.
Enabling free form works and can be accessed from recent apps screen - click the app icon - open in free form. (don't know how you tested it)
Auto fill helps in password managers to fill in usernames and passwords.
It's in wake display also same to your missing ambient display.
Other things I've left are either too much to explain / really broken / I don't care of those since I don't use it.
Widevine has changed to l3 you didn't notice.
Sound output isn't very great it'll be fixed in next build I've reported that to asus.

Gestures are enabled by Google after December security patch nova / most other launchers work with gestures. You can however use 2 button and 3 button navigation perfectly.
About that dark and black mode difference we don't have an amoled or led display it's an lcd so it won't make difference in battery but kind of personal choice. I like dark more than black.
The thing about wallpaper and dark thing - in android 9 dark/light theme was set by wallpaper color so live wallpapers needed to support color picker api to tell the device to keep light or dark theme. (it was half broken by asus as selecting dark theme should've disabled the api completely, but using pixel default live wallpapers they had that api so dark mode worked with them).
That srgb was being considered by Google they dropped it as it broke a lot of the things.
You can resize top and bottom windows just hold the middle line in centre and drag it where you want to put it. (I use 400 dpi so I get more steps).
It's because that feature is intended towards large screen tablets or foldables and Samsung made their own thing, (the free form window thing).
It's for devs making password manager apps or autofill apps those people need it for debugging, the logging levels are to make reports to find bugs, the max request is how many times in one field the autofill will attempt to fill in credentials. The max visible dataset is if you have multiple accounts to one app (take Gmail as example) so while trying to autofill it lists all of available accounts to show (I'm not an expert in this so I maybe wrong if needed confirm that.
About sound issue it is very real and use some good quality earphones or compare side by side with 060 running device.

[MODULE] N3O No Nonsense Notch Overlay

N3O (or Nitrous Oxide i guess )
Who is it for:
devices with punchole or cutout displays
the black bar REALLY annoys you in landscape
clock behind camera annoys you just as much!
What it does:
Uses full screen in landscape mode
respects the cutout in portrait to ensure a normal status bar
Device Support
Preset for Oneplus 8/8T & 8 Pro
Preset for Pixel 5
Other devices via custom config (left/right cutouts, center cutouts experimental)
Custom mode for other left or right cutouts without presets (please share your values)
OS:
13 - Experimental builds (here)
12 - Experemental builds (here)
11 - AOSP based Roms
10 - Currently not supported (can install but bootloops reported)
Nonsense:
The only nonsesne here, is that devices that switch resolution need to have a specific cutout to match it. if you dynamically change resolution using tasker you need to switch overlays when you do so (seems to not affect powersave mode when at full resolution)
For up-to date information on features in the module and how to use it, check the documentation on git here
Where do i get it:
Github Releases: Releases · logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay (github.com)
Here: N3O_v1.4I4Z.003.zip

Yeah think this happens for all "notch killer" ones as well.
Tbh a non root app with just a customizable circle would work to anti Alias the cutout
I could not find any existing ones from a quick search but may create one in the future.

Oneplus did something funky with the system UI customisations.
I think immersive doesn't work for the same reason you can't truly change the status bar height.
I tested a module I built to disable as many systemUi overlays by oneplus and the statusbar started reacting correctly (not sure about immersive but it let me change the height properly)
Inadvertently it also caused brightness to stay on max and a bunch of other weird things but hey

Unlikely not impossible. Just better hope the code doesn't sit in java files because editing smali files are a real pain.
I'm probably gonna do another dump of all files from the latest update at some point and extract all apks etc and do a scan in the contents of all files.
I have a pretty fast 3000mbps ssd so any windows/Linux tools people know for taking advantage while searching let me know

Probably you need to be using gestures instead of navbar, but that's just a guess. The mod is made to get rid of the little white line/pill at the bottom of the screen which also creates a small thin black bar when gestures is used.

Ah yeah I use it like this with gesyures. But immersive mode historically came with settings.
No navbar.
No statusbar.
Fullscreen (no status and navbar)
I'm assuming that's what's being considered immersive mode that's broken.
Would it be possible to go full screen in portrait apps as well? Can't we push all status bar elements to the right? (punch hole on the top left)

With the custom setting you can push it as far right as you want.
Oneplus 8 series
However there's no ridding of the statusbar or even changing its size at the moment.
G-visual mod alters the status bar height and yes the content of the statusbar shrinks. But can't move the line below the camera that separates the statusbar from the action bar (this is not normal behaviour)
I've spent countless nights modding this to hell but the only way I got anything to work is remove all the system UI overlays using magisk - but then things like brightness control etc stop working
other devices
you could enable immersive (other mods should be compatible with this)
This mod however just inserts an object to the left which obstructs elements underneath to move, pushing all the content to the right would mean modifying a lot of XML files across different devices and compatibility would be hard (device specific)
What we perceive as the "status bar" is actually not just in one place in android, it consists of, status bar, keyboard status bar, heads up status bar and notification status bar.
My original pre release no nonsense mod was built like this, but I found it was version specific to even minor upgrades and was too volatile causing bootloops etc.
Not that it cannot be done.
sorry for the essay just sharing my findings

you could enable immersive (other mods should be compatible with this)
This mod however just inserts an object to the left which obstructs elements underneath to move, pushing all the content to the right would mean modifying a lot of XML files across different devices and compatibility would be hard (device specific)
What we perceive as the "status bar" is actually not just in one place in android, it consists of, status bar, keyboard status bar, heads up status bar and notification status bar.
My original pre release no nonsense mod was built like this, but I found it was version specific to even minor upgrades and was too volatile causing bootloops etc.
Not that it cannot be done.
sorry for the essay just sharing my findings

I appreciate the information you shared. I'm trying to find info on the status bar and possible mods to get rid of the black bar in some games.
I'm actually using an oneplus 8 pro. I tried g-visual mod but it didn't work properly. (There is also a possibility I did something completely wrong).
Adding status bar padding changed nothing. There were elements behind the punch hole.
What custom settings are you referring to?

EdXposed and Gravitybox working on ROG phone 3?

As the title asks, does anyone know if EdXposed amd GravityBox are working on the ASUS ROG Phone 3? If they are working, are there any features that are known to cause problems and should not be used?
Thanks all and stay healthy!
Exposed should work fine (haven't tried it myself though).
I thought GravityBox was for Samsung devices only......?
You can also try SystemUI Tuner - a lot of its tweaks do work.
Hey, thanks for the response. As for GravityBox, as far as I know (I could certainly be wrong though) it's developer originally designed it for OnePlus phones due to OnePlus's willingness to give out it's android source code to make it easier for users to root it. Later on, the developer decided to add support for other phones as well.
As for SystemUI Tuner, I've never heard of it. Does it require root? (Im asking because obviously root allows far more customization and that is what I'm looking for.) I am a several year GravityBox user and I want to have at least most of the customization features from GravityBox if I am going to be using a different app/piece of software. For example, I would like to still have the feature such as being able to customize the number of rows and columns in quick settings, keeping the screen off when the charger is plugged in and unplugged, changing the carrier text (i.e. instead of "MyCarrier" you can put anything you want), having the network speed & date AND time in the status bar and changing the position of all of the items in the status bar, having right and left arrow keys in the NavBar when the keyboard is showing, amongst other things.
