Ist hopefully you made a backup prior to changing your settings, if so just restore your backup and you'll be fine. Also whatever you used to change it with will sometimes backup your original setting and you can use the same process to revert.

Are you in AOKP or using xposed?

Well sorry to say but you're best option at this point is to flash another rom or the same either way your options are slim.

Yep I think that's what I'll do... I'm looking for a change.... Any suggestions for a new rom...It has to work for twrp

Cleanrom ACE if you like touchwiz fast and smooth but if you have no taste for that and want to go pure aosp then I wouldn't have a good suggestion as I like all the extras I got the phone for, but that's just my opinion. There are other great roms out there and im sure someone will give you more options, good luck.

[Q] eclipse 1.3/stock keyboard on cm7??

Anyone happen to have the apk for the stock keyboard? I would like to have it on my cm7 rom. Is this even possible since its the blur keyboard? Maybe I'm just SOL? Anyone have any input on this? I hate the keyboard that comes with cm7. I'm using swift key now but I really likes the stock keyboard.

I've wondered that myself. I imagine it should work. Make a nandroid, push it into system apps, fix permissions, reboot and see what happens. You may have to change your input method.

ROM with no phone

I'm looking at upgrading to a newer phone next month and I was wondering if there was a ROM out there that didn't have the phone portion set in. I want my phone to be like a iPod so my kids can play with it.

I think if you were to freeze phone specific things it couldn't harm anything, but I recommend you go to froyo then do it, for the sake of battery or you could just put it in airplane mode then hide the phone related apps I'm sure that would disable 911 too

I have what you need, let me remove the phone short cut from the launcher and I can get you into a rom set up as nothing but a media player.
Should have around 50 megs footprint.
Let me know if interested.
Edit: I'll put it together and post it for everyone, tonight hopefully.

YouTube doesn't go into landscape mode.

It's happening on a couple apps, they don't seem to sense that I'm holding the phone in landscape. I've cleared cache and I've done a soft reset. Running the base 7.3 with no other problems. Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you happen to have flashed Nocturnal mod ?
I flashed it, didn't like it so I tried to restore. Got an MD5 error so I had to flash the base again to get rid of the nocturnal mod.

I had the exact same happen to me, tried everything I could think of to fix it. Finally had to use lgnpst to restore, then reroot unlock and flash base.
I think I'll just wait to see if the next rom fixes it if that's the case. Does anyone know if there is an option to calibrate the sensors? I've looked but haven't found it

Under display in system settings, the last option but it will not help. You can be up and running in no time, lgnpst doesn't wipe data and there is an automated install script. Once you have everything downloaded it runs in few minutes.
I'll try that then, thanks

Fixed using lgnpst. Interesting fact my phone was missing the option to calibrate the sensors before restoring with lgnpst.

Annoying SMS POPUP NOTIFICATIONS

Hello All,
This is regarding one of the most annoying issue that many users like me are facing.
I'm currently running neat rom lite version 4.7.
Please know that I have searched through Google to know about this issue, but apparently there were only problems mentioned but no solutions for it.
Please look into the attached image and suggest if anything can be done with regard to this?
Thanks in advance

Nothing of this is mentioned on the ROM thread?
Looks like an ad, a factory reset should solve it.
It must be related to a certain app; which one? I dunno

Hehe.. The funny thing is that i have tried multiple rons but its always been there.. It is defintely not coming from a user installed app

Not so lite after all.
Are you sure the dev doesn't know how to remove that or why it's there?
Hold on, there's got to be a way to disable that, check your settings.

Maybe there is something wrong......after wipes,did you use Titanium Backup to restore apps?Maybe one of them is creating the issue.Also,you can try to run a Nuke Script,after hat flash a CM 4.2.2 ROM
Well after reinstalling the rom, i used a software called mybackup pro to restore everything.
If i remember right, even after the full wipe and reinstall, this problem persists

That's a settings conflict, restore the app, try txting and then restore your previous settings.

(Q) changing DPI

I'm on stock firmware MJ7 rooted and want to change my dpi settings. I've done this before on various roms, but want to ask what app should I use and is it safe?
Just don't want to end up in a bootloop or something so any help would be appreciated.

Just install xposed framework and download the dpi mod in xposed download tab.

Alright I have xposed too so I'll try that, I just wanted to check on here and see what people were using.
My last phone I had issues with doing this and since I'm not running a custom recovery or anything, I wanted to be sure first. Thanks though I'll give that a try.

The one on xposed is per app dpi. Which is still cool, but I was looking for setting the system itself. Wish I didn't have this jacked up bootloader so I could just run paranoid Android or another rom and I'd have all these options built in. This is the first time I've run xposed on a phone and first time looking into an app or module for dpi settings so... I'll search and see what else I can find. Again just want to do it safely. I know I could just grab some app and hope for the best but wanted some feedback first that's all.

That does work. You have to do a reboot then it looks good. .All except the keyboard. It's huge. So I apparently I'll have to fiddle with swiftkeys dpi settings to see if I can scale it down to look normal. Not sure why the keyboard didn't take the settings like everything else did after I changed "Android system"
Also. .. Samsung keyboard looked the same. .huuuge
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well I use nova and for now I just changed novas dpi and get the same results and my keyboard is all good too. Maybe I was just overlooking something but I tried changing both Samsung and SwiftKey dpi settings after I did Android system and nothing seemed to help, either to big or way too small.
For now this works.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Good deal, I'm pretty sure there are other mods out there that'll change the dpi also. Might want to try them out.

I know I'm way late at responding here. But what dpi do you personally use? I remeber on my note 2 I would use 160 to 175 but It had a bigger screen.
