Hybrid/multi DPI Q&A - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Please use this as your go to point for all queries regarding ICS Multi DPI. This will keep all future inquiries easier to find and manage. Thank you, all credit goes to DAG for his hard work and moderation/monitoring of his threads.

how do u change the dpi

Dpi should be changed using romtoolbox or manually editing the build.prop. If you search the dev thread for build.prop you will find many different scenarios... Hope this helps.

For some reason the first pic won't show up. I have two sections that the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=" is in. The first place looks like this:
#for 480x800 panel
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
The second is in the picture in the previous post. Which one do I change or do I change them both?
Thanks,

I have tried several call recording apps but none of them seems to be working on my i717r with this ROM. Previously, call recorder worked flawlessly on the stock GB ROM. Is there a fix for this?

I changed both entries and my phones working great. I'm running 214 with no issues.

Ok, finally flashed alpha 2 all is smooth and running great.
but when i go to the play store the launcher that i use " TSF Shell" is not showing up. and when i go on line to the play store and try to load it remotely the only device that pops up is the i777 not my i717. so it never really loads to my phone.
is there away around this??
Edit: never mind i answered my own question thanks.

Is anybody else having issues with S-Memo while running an alternate DPI? My Note is not displaying the backgrounds correctly, though the actual input is recorded accurately.

I downloaded dpi changer utility off the play store, but when I tried to change the dpi to 280, my phone wouldn't boot up.... Had to reflash the ics Rom. Is that something to do with my phone? Or the app itself?

Battery life on new rom..
maybe its just me but it seems that battery life on this ROM is a little shorter than some of the GB ROMs. Is anyone seeing this as well? ROM runs well and according to CPU spy the device is entering deep sleep just fine.
Does the rom have to "re-learn" the battery in order to manage it better? (hopefully this makes sense) Do I need to let it cook for a few more days?
Oops.. Didnt mean to put this inside of this thread. Can it be moved up a level?

Had the same issue when using dpi apps from the market. I think they are changing the permissions of the buildprop file after modification, so then your phone hangs on reboot. I used Es file explorer to change the two dpi strings in the buildprop file, save it, then double check the properties to make sure that it's still set to rw-r-r. Reboot and you should be good.

Mods please Sticky, PM request sent.

I used this for a few days but had to switch back to GB to get my device unlocked.
One thing I did notice when it was running .. Google Maps kept showing up in my Task Manager ... without me having launched it.. or ANY applications. If I rebooted the phone, set it down and waited 10 minutes.. and then checked the task manager, MAPS would show.
Very odd. Probably something I did wrong along the way.
As for battery life.. yes.. it's shorter by a bit in this release I believe.
Back on the stock ROM today and my battery made it the whole day.. with identical usage.. So yeah, consumption seems up a bit in this release.. And that was after running Supercharger script set to 'conserve power' and running the DIE hard battery script..

Has anyone else experienced not receiving or sending any text messages?! It say sent but when i look at the phone i sent it to its not there and ive tried everything except flashing back to gb?

DPI & Google Play
I have an issue where I was running at 285 DPI then my market started acting up. It's not showing the movies section and a lot of apps are not showing up as being compatible. for instance, I have google + installed, but when I go to the play store it says not compatible. I changed the DPI back to 320 with rom tool box and also verified that it was changed in the build.prop and it is changed to 320 in both sections. I have rebooted, powered down & battery pulled several times and google play is still acting up.
Any suggestions?

Try clearing cache for play store.

Gingerbread Keyboard For Rooted Devices

For all who might be interested to try... Following the instructions in this article will help you to install Gingerbread keyboard:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/06/download-gingerbread-keyboard-for-rooted-devices/
Cheers
Confirm, it's working. It is better though to have the language set for English...if one would choose another language, it may have some missing characters. For example, I had also Romanian selected. When I switch to it, the first row displays only some of the numbers (the ones that are typed when you long press on the key). 1,2,4, 5 and 9 are shown (if I remember exactly) the rest of them being inaccessible. If you switch to English, everything looks just fine.
Keyboard seems (and looks) better than the standard Froyo keyboard (and this is how it's advertised too), has some new functionality, but I still prefer Better Keyboard. For those using English layout and don't have Better Keyboard installed, this Gingerbread ported keyboard will be a better option than the standard one (and best thing...it's free)
it works but that's about it.
The dictionary doesn't know some of the basic words even though it supports dutch. :s
And I don't think its made for hdpi, it looks pretty small.

I'm using a HTC mt4g (rooted and s-off), installed this and have only English selected, yet as soon as I touch a key it FC for 'android.process.inputmethod.latin
Also, my phone has the same resolution as the legend (480x800) and the keyboard seems to be sized correctly.
Anyone else with this FC issue?
The Legend is 480*320, not 800*480.
When I tried, the installation failed because it couldn't verify the zip file.
Ah gotcha. I'm just using the xda app and thought the legend was the incredible..
It seems like a lot of people are having issues with this keyboard currently

I got it to work by downloading the keyboard zip made by fabulous. Google it. If you have a problem with the keys being to small, you need to download the LCD Density app, set it to 240 and restart, then set it back to the default of 160 and restart.
They keyboard should be fine after that. I've been using it for a while and prefer it to Swype, HTC, and Android 2.2.
One last note. Restarting the phone may cause the keyboard to revert to a small state so be prepared to do the LCD fix again.

This did not work for me, when i change the density to 240 the phone reboots.
Then it says density is 160, so the denisty won't change!

How did you install it? I'm on UnNamed, I uninstalled the themed version, and I get nothing but Force Closes with this Swype.

I backed up then uninstalled by Titanium Backup, and used the installer without a hitch.
Running UnNamed 1.3.2 though, not sure if the newer versions may be the reason why its not working properly.
Cool. Must be the fingerprint with the new UnNamed.
And how do you find the voice accuracy? Is it better? Just curious...

If I say yes now its just a placebo effect in my head.
Have to do some testing with it for a few days and see if its noticeably different or the same.
Saw this in the UnNamed thread, might want to give it a try.

Tried installing the beta, tells me it's unavailable for devices that have swype preinstalled...
Any thoughts on how to get around that?
Edit: Nevermind. Uninstalled it via titanium, mounted the system partition, removed /system/lib/libSwype(version number).so and then all was well.

I guess that seems to be the way to do it. I'll give it a try over the weekend when I get a chance to mess around with my phone
EDIT
so, installed perfectly using instructions from post #5. I don't really know what's the difference between uninstalling via Titanium vs. adb removing, but it worked with the Titanium method, and not with adb.
Thanks for the tip on using titanium to backup/uninstall, works for rooted stock as well

I've been using it for about two days now and with the exception of an beta-ish incident I had with it (it stopped working after my first reboot if the phone and I had to reinstall it), I can confidently say that this update makes Swype much, much better. Swype always used to piss me off within the day for the simplest of reasons, but with all the new gestures, dictionary options and (finally) contextual typing, it's hard to put this one down. And it should be mentioned that I'm a huge keyboard junkie, if that exists. I have pro versions for most of the keyboards on the market and constantly switch between them because they generally all disappoint me in one way or another.
The voice recognition is naturally better now that the company has been acquired by Nuance, but it isn't quite up to the accuracy of choice dictation on the iPhone 4s, for whatever reason. Is it better than what it used to be on Swype/Android? Hell yes. In addition, this can do languages other than English, something I found particularly amazing.
All in all, I like it.

The speech recognition still sucks.

Actually just had a look at the new apk... it's completely different so I don't think it'd be possible to just transfer it over from the old one.
I can try and do it manually... we'll see how it turns out.

I just did a proof of concept, just to see if it works... It's really simple actually!!!!
I did orange and blue (Denver Broncos colors) if you guys want it, just install it like normal.
Here is how to do it:
You take that .apk file thats in the OP, make a few copies of it just incase...
Then you get 7zip, open it up with 7zip... copy all the files in "assets/keyboard" to a new folder on your computer.
The files you need to edit are preceded by "display0_" since we have wvga screens.
The way I did it was open it up in photoshop (the images, that is) and edit the file and save it.
The files I editted were:
background
caps
capsbutton
funcbutton
numbutton
selbutton
textbutton
AFTER EDITTING!!
This is where it gets tricky...
You open that original .apk with the 7zip proggy and you transfer all those images back into it, in the proper folder.
Now you need to sign it using apkmanager or whatever you may want. Open it up in apkmanager, and sign it (using the batch signing folder thing option choice thing).
DONE!
Oops guess my message by xda app didn't go through.
The theme did work perfectly, good job!
Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?
Then I can finally update swype

[MOD][VZW Edition] Add all apps to multi-window build LJB

This is only for Verizon Stock with root injected
4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I605VRALJB
Steps:
1) Please mount your system as read/write, extract the files in the attached zip file, and copy:
FlashBarService.odex to /system/app
services.odex to /system/framework
Make sure you are actually replacing the old files and not renaming them.
The proper permissions should be rw- r-- r-- on both files (thanks Sylvaria)
2) Then reboot. Shouldn't have to clear dalvik-cache...
3) (recommended) delete "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService" and reboot once more
Potential issues
**If your apps appear in the edit menu and you have trouble adding apps to the multi-window bar, check in your /data/data folder and see if you have a folder named flashbar. If so, delete it and reboot to see if that fixes your issue. "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService"
**If you cannot see the edit button on your multi-window bar, make sure your DPI is set to 320 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35036854&postcount=108
Warning
services.odex is actually in use, so you may not be able to replace it before it reboots, which will cause you to boot loop. Just ODIN the root image again and try again. People have gotten it to be replaced after an attempt or two.
from nosit1: "This might sound extremely stupid, but when replacing services.odex (do it last of course) if you screen is on, turn it off before pushing it to your device (if using adb). "
from shelooga: "I went into a bootloop, but a battery pull fixed it, no odin required, fyi."
---
Please let me know if this works, as it works for me. If you do go into a boot loop you will have to re-flash the root ODIN image.

Getting this weird issue where I can't add apps that aren't listed in the first page of apps. Like, the first 8 rows of apps add fine, but everything below that (once I have to scroll down to see them) only add apps from those first 8 rows, instead of adding the actual app I'm drag-and-dropping.

Check in your /data/data folder and see if you have a folder named flashbar. If so, delete it and reboot to see if that fixes your issue.
Tried re-pasting the files over, same issue still persists. Not sure what's up at all. Pretty annoying.
I wonder if unfreezing my bloatware would make a difference? Not a big fan of doing that, though.

Kindle Fire HD 7" Tablet APP UI

So, I noticed there are literally 0 threads on how to enforce the Tablet UI on apps inside of our device. I realize that this may be common sense to some people but I figured there would be SOMETHING. However to my knowledge it is not included in any rom available (other than the new PA rom by -a-, Props to him for making the attempt) that includes a tablet UI of any kind. So here is the very simple method.
Tweaks:
1. Download ROM toolbox LITE
2. Open ROM toolbox LITE
3. Slide over to PERFORMANCE
4. TAP BUILD.PROP Editor
5. Find ro.sf.lcd_density (IN CM10.1 this is set to 213 by default)
6. Change this to 160 to avoid any conflicting issues with the market.
7. Reboot as instructed by ROM toolbox LITe
8. Everything except Status bar will now run in Tablet mode. (im workin on it lol)
9. PROfIT.

Im using his 10.1 and there are no play store issues with tablet mode enabled. Probably just an unupdated OP. This works perfectly, and I will stand by that, I have not had any issues so far with anything I have done and much prefer it.
Im just tired so im sorry if anything I say comes off rude. This works perfectly fine on CM10.1 for our device, it may not have for a previous version of his rom, it does for his current.

taking apart lghiddenmenu.apk

As the title says, I'm taking apart the lghiddenmenu system app. From what I can see in the activities, it seems to be what handles dialer codes like ##data# or ##debug#. There might be a switch to unlock the boot loader somewhere in there... Maybe a custom dialer code.. Probably not but I can hope. So far what I've found in the apk has been a banner for the g2 and some low res pics of a chiwawa. I'll post back here when I find more.
I decompiled the app and went through it a bit more without getting anywhere exciting. After doing some googling I found the dialler code to access the menu. It seems like a lot of items are missing. I'll look into enabling them tomorrow. What I did find was the AAT testing menu which let me reboot into mini os. Unfortunately there wasn't a big flashing button that said unlock boot loader. Tommorow I'm going to see if I can find a USB vulnerability for mini os.

Giver hell man!
I wonder why Sprint went with the completely neutered version of this hidden menu over the other carriers.
Rebooting into recovery lets you adb sideload, but has to have a signed file. Any way to Figure out how to bypass or fake a signed file?

Maybe look at how the stock firmware is signed.

With root possibly coming out today. This might be helpful. Most of the stuff couldn't be opened unless you were rooted.
I came across this app last night in the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
I was able to access some menu's I haven't seen elsewhere. I have the Sprint G3. Some of this stuff is beyond me and I'm not sure if it's anything helpful.

Cool, we can finally turn off thermal mitigation to see if it improves things.
I cannot figure out how to use shortcut master (lite) to open the hidden menu that can change the fps.
Is this still needed on our Sprint variant?
Anyone have any tips on how to use shortcut master in this regard?
Thanks

1) Root your phone.
2) Open up Shortcut Master Lite.
3) Tap the menu > App Explorer.
4) Launch com.lge.hiddenmenu.
5) Be very careful.
I had removed my thermal throttling and my phone was getting way too hot. It actually overheated this morning for the first time. I just set it all back, though I left the fps high. Not sure if it will be as fluid. The phone has been as smooth as butter for the few days I ran it this way, but battery life has been complete garbage.

Thank you. I was searching through secret code explorer instead of app explorer. Haven't changed anything. Personally I haven't noticed any lag at all, so I'm inclined not to change anything.
I appreciate the reply.
Why has this thread been hidden so well... Ha haha. Seriously I cant thank you enough!

Does anybody else have the Dynamic LCD refresh setting revert to defaults? I keep disabling the governor, and setting it to 60FPS static. It just resets to default every time I go back to access the menu (using Shortcut Master). The thermal mitigation and high temp settings take, and do not reset to defaults. Just the LCD refresh setting......

I have the same issue. After a reboot, I reapply manually... which gets old.
