[Q] Installing fonts - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, just installed liquidsmooth ics 1.5 mr2. It is the best rom I ever had. BUT.....
I wonder how can I install Hebrew fonts ?
Thank you

You should be able to.
I'm running a different font right now.
No problems.
It definitely didn't change everything though, but it changed the majority.

Changing fonts is a lil different on ics. I have the best results using font installer from the market and rebooting immediately after.

Does anyone know of a universal large font that can be installed? I already use the Big Font app, but it's not universal across everything on the phone.

Fonts don't seem to affect everything across the board on ics for some reason.

Good to know. That means at least this isn't another operator error.

You could try to increase the DPI. everything will be better then

I was going to hope for a font fix first before I tried to learn how to adjust DPI. I'm not sure if there will be any unintended consequences going that route.

Download LCD density modder pro. You can change the density and it will let you download a modded market that will let you download all apps from the market.

Apologies to the OP for the hijack.

That works pretty well. The only down side I've seen so far it it expands the screen to just off the viewing area, like for the drag to unlock. I also hate scrolling left to right to read web pages if I try and find one on my phone, but I've grown used to that and try to stay off the internet on the phone when I can.
I do like the DPI adjustement. I'll have to play with it some more and find my ideal setting.

ROM Toolbox

So I'm sure a good majority all ready know. But ROM toolbox has a root explorer built into it in the latest edition, and that is included in the free edition as well. Plus it allows you to set the scaling governor and cpu sliders, along with some other little nifty tweaks. So if you haven't checked it out, I would.
Thanks, nice find.
Not a problem.

Conflict b/n Rom Toolbox and Rom Manager
Can anyone offer a suggestion on where I should go to find out why I'm having a conflict between Rom Toolbox Pro and Rom Manager/Clockworkmod?
I'm having it with both UnNamed 1.2 and CM7 7.1. I can't do anything like backing up or installing roms because Rom Manager is blocking everything unless I buy the paid version of Rom Manager...what's up?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

I don't use ROM manager but when I was on home base it had ROM manager and I had no conflicts. Have you tried any other ROM's?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Likewise. I've tried LCD densities between 200-264. I noticed anything over 240 changes the way the weather widget displays. Unfortunately at this time we can only change the min frequency on CPU slot 4 per developer. Additional profiles for the remaining slots are being considered, however I think the developer wants to see greater interest for the same first?

LCD Resolution (root)
Hi there,
This should help you out:
LCD Resolution (root)
As you can tell by the name, the app requires root previlages.
Cheers!
Is it allowed on the V? Its default is 160.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
I currently just downloaded this app to try it out.. changed it from 160 to 130 and it froze the phone up.. made the screen look like a tv when you change it to an off channel with all the snow lol .. Phone is not restarting and looks good.. I'll try it one more time to double check and report back
Alright i was able to turn it down to about 140 and it seems to work pretty well.. I dont know if ill end up keeping this app just becuase i'm fine with how it looks just figured id let ya'll know also dont put it to apply at boot just in-case lol
I tried lower than 150, and I get a.black shadow near the bottom using a app.

Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
I've tried it before too, certain ROM's don't like you changing the dpi. Like with the CM nightly's, i got lag all over, going down to 140

Changing razr dpi

Is it okay to change the razr dpi if so anyone recommend. Good Ond
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
How is that even possible?
"dpi" is generally referring to "dots per inch", a spec on printers. If he's referring to "ppi", or "pixels per inch", the spec for pixel density on a display, then no- it cannot be changed.
You need a root device and there are apps in the market for this, like dpi changer. Make sure your prepared for the worst if you pick a bad setting. Not everyone has a perfect experience.

I haven't tried it on my razr, but on my old galaxy s you could simply change it in your build.prop if you have root then reboot for it to take affect.

I have mine set to 230 right now. I personally just used ROM toolbox, but it is just a build prop setting i've also changed my wifi scan interval, ring delay, and proximity sensor delay.

Lower is better right? I have it running on 200, just changed it with a file explorer (open build.prop in the system folder look for the line LCD.density) and try some settings on, google play and some apps don't work properly anymore when density is too low.
dpi lowering failed
I had no problems using LCD Monitor app to lower the dpi on my CDMA RAZR M with ICS, but when I had JB running on it all I got was an endless loop at reboot. I believe it got stuck while shutting down. I forced it and got it to boot to Safestrap but thats as far as I could go. I really do have this phone. Or should I say I hate Verizon for locking the bootloaders. Probably gonna sell it and go back to my trusty D2 and good old Froyo. NEVER had a problem. And dropped that phone hundreds of times on the pavement and it never faulted. I doubt the RAZR will be that tough

I used to keep mine at 200dpi. Stock was 240dpi. But now that I flashed Jelly Bean I havent been able to change it using LCD Monitor app. Anyone know if its possible and if so how to do it? I really miss my 200dpi resolution.

LCD density changed, YouTube doesn't work

So I decided to change my lcd density on my phone to 200 from the stock 240. I am on aokp siyah which I doubt matters but I was just wondering is there a way for me to get YouTube working with a changed LCD density? Forgive me if this has been posted but I couldn't find anything (I am a horrible searcher) flame me if there is a thread I will take it
Also its just when I try to load a video it says an eror occurred so I just deleted the app and apparently I can't download it with 200 density

Clear market data and attempt to re-download it; then, try it again.

You could try LCD Density Modder or try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24416330
Inverted YouTube app seems to run fine with most all dpi's. Also have u tried using LCD density modder pro?

Ill say it again. 213 has been my magic number. I've yet to have a single issue with that dpi. For whatever reason 213 just works and doesn't cause any market conflicts.

There are alot more than that. 200, 160, and some odd one that Hyperdroid ran stock on fit perfectly. sure alot more. read somewhere something about the sizes, and how some just wont match up.
market issues are gonna be had.
And FYI, LCD Modder will NOT work with JB. least IME

I've had trouble with 200 in the past. I think 183 was another one that worked well for me but I never got used to how small things got and I think it made the dialer look funny. I don't even remember where I found that 213 works, but its never let me down (knocks on wood)

What rom? I'm on cm10 and the clock sits to the right by default. I pulled out my cm9 Captivate (stock 240dpi) to check and its aligned the same as my s2 with 213dpi; to the right.
If you're running a Sammy based firmware then I've no idea what the Samsung lockscreen should look like but maybe dpi changes just don't play nice with Sammy firmware?

[Q] Change the Density?

Any way to safely change the density on the I545? I can't stand how big everything is. I've read reviews on all the apps and can't find anyone with a S4 except for ONE guys who said it didn't work. I also a foudnd post on here I believe of a guy getting his phone bricked because of it. =\
Xposed framework with app settings module does the trick.

Set the dpi to your desired value in build.prop. Reboot to recovery and flash a multidpi market mod. Use the xposed app settinga module to set any newly broken samsung apps to 480dpi. (Like camera)
