Hey,
my gf just got an Ace and as the resolution makes stuff way to large one of the first things we (read I) did was change the dpi from 160 to 140.
Surprisingly this resulted in the dialer app crashing whenever trying to make a call. It's not just the dialpad (DialerTabActivity.apk), although that crashs as well, but also the real dialer (Phone.apk) that just fails.
Anyone got the same behaviour? Any ideas on how to solve it? I haven't experienced such an issue on any other phone. Using 2.3.4 XXKPH firmware.
Same problem
There is a similar post somewhere here. Yes the dailer crashes and when we googled some say using alternative dailers like dailer one etc works. Im currently using Villian rom 2.3.3 and i tried almost all the dailers out there. IT DOES NOT WORK lol Does anyone know a work around to this problem cause for me so far its only the phone apk that crashes
both the dialer (visual interface with number buttons) as well as the phone.apk (the thing in background handling the calls) crash with changed dpi :-( first is easy to replace, second isn't

Yes, i have tried that also. Dailer crashes. i used the app from market "lcd Density changer" . even, i tried to modify the dialer app and even tried different dialers, no go.
currently i am running froyo 2.2.1 an my ace.
I changed the dpi on my rom to 240 > 200 > 180 > original and it didn't crashed, everything was working fine.

In trying to optimize my CM7, RC4 setup, I realized that changing the LCD density from 161 to 160 allowed a game that I never got to work before to run perfectly...The game is "fruit slice"...Now I wonder how important this may be with multitudes of games and apks? Anyone else notice this on other apps?? If you've figured one out, or a complete workaround that cures this scaling issue, please offer any insights you might have.I'd rather not have to make folders of certain apps that only work at so-and-so density..but..

I've been using 140 pretty much exclusively. I don't like the Fisher Price look of the big huge icons you get with 200 that so many here are fond of.
I set mine at 210. The only app that doesn't scale correctly is Google Reader.

After changing to 160 i get a black screen on boot but i fixed it. Does this work on honeycomb?
For those asking how to change it, there is an app in the market (although I've never used it), or you can use Root Explorer to edit the build.prop file in your system folder. Just scroll down until you see something about LCD Density (sorry, don't have my Nook in front of me) with a 161 after it, change that number to one of the numbers listed in this thread. I use 140, some use much higher numbers. You'll have to reboot for the change to take effect.

Funny how that is. I just tried Fruit Slice at 210, 161 & 160. 160 was the only one that worked.
I would suggest Fruit Ninja for 210, but it's a paid app. I bought it a long time ago, and it works great at 210. It was the free app of the day on on the Amazon Appstore the other day, and I have seen the free apps repeat.
...or you could just go with 160.
I have fruit ninja too...I was just wondering if there was some magic cure-all for all apps when used on the nook, or was the reason perhaps just lazy coding by certain app devs.

Recently I experienced lot of incompatibility issues which displays in the android market. Later I found out in most of my cases it caused because of the LCD resolution application which I have installed. For an instance I couldn't install Facebook official application from the market because I have changed my DPI setting to 130 but after restoring back to system's default (which is 160) and clearing data of the market application I was able to install it without having any issues and also I got lot of updates of various applications from the market.
Just wanted to share what I experienced with you guys.
Thanks.

Actually there are resolutions that will work. Like if you set a value like 127 or weird values like that you will see incompatibility. 120, 140, 160 should work.
ya maybe because I set it to 130dpi..

First I would like to appreciate the hard work Fusiondev has put into this custom built ROM & say thank you! Am loving it,so much better than stock.
I however have run into abit of an anomaly. The default messaging app seems to have persistence without the option of removing it. It also shares dialer app function of storing the simcard's pin no. thus if you attempt to kill it,it won't die but you'll instantly receive a notification requesting you to enter your pin code.
It would also have been nice if the edge/2G/3G connectivity notification wasn't tied to messaging notification sound settings,its a little odd when you have a voice notifying mp3 for messages then again you here it on edge/2G/3G connectivity notification. Can anyone confirm this issue coz I followed instructions to the letter when installing FusionIdeos 2.7.10. I used clockworkmod & didn't forget to wipe/factory reset before flashing. I also can't tell how many characters am typing in the messaging app.
Installing a third party messaging app like Go SMS Pro still fails to relieve the default messaging app of its persistence & causes message/notification duplication. Is there a fix for this issue?
Anyone pliz help! I re-installed FusionIdeos and all I get now is improved battery life,the prob still persists even after fresh download. I can't get into boatloader mode (something I later also discovered). It just displays a blue 2 @ the bottom right of the screen & I have to remove the battery to boot normally. Anyone help me.!

Let me see, where do I start. Alright that app means serious biz. I played around with it and it cost me my keyboard hence wasnt able to post here until now. As of now I have been through CynogenMod 7.2 found that it cant surf the net, has no list of APN list and now am back. When I used system app remover to take out mms.apk (messaging app) it went with the system keyboard. It was extremely persistent in giving a "force close" error right until I rebooted the phone. So I flashed CynogenMod 7.2, realized it cant surf then looked for an online pc and had to download a third party keyboard.
What effectively happened was my system now has alot of free ram instead of free space, its very fluid in performance especially with Go laucher Ex effects all enabled. I really wish there could be some FusionIdeos update separating all this ties within the system. I believe the reason why this ROM is so big is because of the language packs coz the CynogenMod 7.2 ROM left me with 142MB to play with but this one does only 67MB as of now. Is there anyway this language packs can be removed? I still cannot boot into bootloader mode
Bump, anyone?
Bump!

Yes I am able to.
As for (power+red+vol.down), what happens is, the phone reboots then remains in a sort of an idling state where nothing is happening,I have been reading around and now it seems that is what they call bootloader mode,if that's it then yes. Probably its idle coz there isnt a zip to update to. Is that right? I also read in some forum that you can flash clockworkmod recovery using bootloader mode with a custom zip but only in Evo,havent found for u8150-D yet.
I believe I can get more freespace if I can remove the language packs that I dont need. Know how?
How can I remove the language packs that I dont need from this ROM?

Bump!
Considering the heading of this topic, I would say that my problem has been solved by simply removing the default messaging app, therefore this topic can be bagged and tagged. Link2SD also solved my space issues dramatically... even my launcher 10MB is auto linked 2 sd and works flawlessly!
Hi guys, request help from you who know how to reset google play apps so i can update all my apps
Usually my updated apps is 172, but now it is only 95
but when I do factory reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache, flash rom and change dpi, the total apps change to 172 again, but after a few days it becomes 95 again?
Is it because I change the dpi of the phone? Is there any way to fix that or apps that can fix that?

definitely... stay on your default dpi, some apps detects yours device resolutions before it will download data ... for example: g*meloft games..., dont bother factory reset just do this: setting - apps - manage - all - search google play - force stop - clear data, hope it helps..

Perhaps you can use a modified play store apk. Just search for it in the Forum.
playing with dpi is such a trial and error... some apps run.. some wont (especially games afaik), if you could tweak some setting in build.prop.. make it galaxy note, change the dpi be like galaxy note... it would be galaxy note, some apps would be fooled some wont... its not recommended thought.. but hey its a trial and error

I'm still running touchwiz but am using nova launcher. I adjusted my DPI but all the touchwiz elements, like phone and calculator, are kinda wacked up, any way to fix that?
Oh, and chrome is a little off too, like the tab button.
Word of advice - NO MATTER what I did, changing the DPI on my S4 (and possibly all phones) always causes issues. I have spent the past week experimenting with trying to make it work right. If you change the overall phone DPI in the build.prop (I have tried 320, 420, 440, 460), you WILL trigger the Market issues with certain apps no longer showing up for you in a search- unless you type the name in the search but then select the actual item from the predictive box below (instead of actually searching). But, even after you are brought to the page, at the top you will still get the 'incompatible with your device' message and cannot download or update on the phone. Trying to do it on a desktop PC in the Store also does not work. So far, this happened to me with YouTube, Google Keyboard, and a few other Google or common apps.
I tried several methods of modding the market or different apps that have supposed options for spoofing what DPI the Play Store sees, but in the end, the issue always came back, every time eventually (may take a reboot or two). Clearing data on Google Framework and Play Store and clearing cache/Dalvik cache never is a permanent fix, it will always recognize it eventually.
Oh and also, there were always a few apps that would become wonky looking or cut off, like the stock Samsung camera and gallery apps, among others.
In the end, the only thing that worked is to leave the overall DPI alone, and just adjusting the DPI of certain apps individually using something like Hyperdrive Control in the Hyperdrive ROM or equivalent app (I ended up just changing the DPI of Nova Launcher and nothing else- at least the launcher/icons then can become smaller resolution).
If there IS a method that works and does not cause this issue in the Store eventually, please let me know! I tried em all!
To the above poster:
First off - calm down. Everything will be alright
Here's how to change the DPI without issue.
1. Edit build.prop to desired value. Do not reboot. (I like 400)
2. Download a multi DPI play store. (Google for an xda link. I use inverted multidpi)
3. Reboot to recovery and flash multidpi play store. Reboot.
2. Use any launcher except TouchwizHome
3. Install the xposed framework and per app DPI module.
4. Set all the Samsung apps to the stock 480 dpi
Easy.

Hey. There's a much easier way of you want to adjust specific apps
1) Download/install the Xposed framework
2) Download/install App Settings
From there, you can pick from the list of apps and change dpi to whatever you want. On the phone now so I don't have links but do a quick search. The App Settings for the AT&T S4 works for ours.

To people who do not know that changing DPI affects some Play Store apps like this.
And your method may work, but it's tedious to have to change every Samsung app's individual DPI afterward, and also you won't always get the latest Play Store update until the newest version is again manually modded for multi-DPI. But yes, doable.

Oh. I see what you meant. Just say "for those unaware" lol. The phrase "don't know any better" doesn't apply as you are referring to knowlege rather than behavior
And there's no "may" about it. It does work. It worked on my galaxy nexus, and it works on my S4.
And I've never had a problem getting the newest play store update. The thread I get them from is pretty on top of it.
Unfortunately manually setting the DPI for Samsung apps is the only way unless you want to hack apart the apk and deal with overall buggyness. Samsung is lazy and only cares to make the app work for one device... Unlike play store apps.
I really don't think the initial two minutes of my time to fix the 4 or 5 samsung apps that have issues is that big of a deal.

What dpi setting you use for play store ? I tried 480 and 320.
Not sure if you have fixed this issue yet, but newer ROMs for the T-Mobile and AT&T S4 variants us ethe Exposed Framework. From there you can use a module called Play Store Fixes (follow directions). Manually change the DPI setting in the build.prop and reboot. Mine is set to 320 and I can see everything in the playstore.

Galaxy S4 4.4.2 stock phone DPI change
Hi everyone,
I have the Omega ROM v20 (4.4.2) installed on my galaxy s4 i9500. It came with the Xposed installer 2.5.1 and the App Settings 1.8. I have already installed the framework in the Xposed installer and selected the app settings under the modules and rebooted the device.
I have changed the phone's DPI to 320 form the original 480 by manually updating the build.prop file in /system. A few Samsung apps, including the touch wiz, the calculator and some others started acting up and pieces where out of place. I managed to fix all of that by migrating to the Apex launcher and also the extensive use of the DPI changing feature of the App Settings application.
The DPI changing utility seems to be working on every application, including the Google play app store, but not for the phone app. Even though the App Settings says that the 480 DPI has been applied to the phone application the dialer and its pieces once launched are still out of place. The phone application on the ROM is the stock samsung 4.4.2 i9500 phone app and I have tried it every which way but still no go!
I was wondering if another application's DPI also needs to be changed for it to work or maybe I have ran into an App Settings bug of some kind!
Any help would be most appreciated
Many thanks
