I want to change the LCD Density to a higher value on my Galaxy because its all a bit too small for me.
I am using an app called Resolution Changer (and have tried a few other similar apps that do the same job and work fine) to set the the phone to a higher DPI and all becomes much more usable and looks bit bigger and better on screen. Everything works perfectly smoothly except the Samsung Phone/Contacts/Messaging & Camera apps that instantly FC. The Messaging and Camera apps don't matter because I simply use a 3rd party app and the problem gets easily solved. However the Phone/Contacts app is a real problem because the phone becomes useless as "phone".. and using a 3rd party dialer doesn't fix the problem because these add-on dialers still need the native phone app to actually make/receive a call (basically Android 3rd party dialers are actually just a skin on top of the native phone app).
I have been reading that the Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 leak allows for working at higher DPI without any problems or crashes.
Could someone verify this information and if possible, post a download link of the S3 Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 so I can try? I have no idea where to get the correct Phone/Contacts apk
Thanks very much in advance for any feedback or and help in getting the correct file/s.

Thanks, done! Sorry again.. first time in 5 years as a member in this community I make such a mistake. Cheers.
You can't simply use the apk from 4.2. You'd need the whole rom.
Another suggestion... maybe mention "increase dpi, phone app fc" in title as I think there maybe some modified versions that people may know about?

Thanks. In fact I want to use the same APK in other Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Mega 6.3. The problem is similar and several people mentioned the 4.2 S3 Phone/Contacts app can be used to swiftly replace it on other Samsung machines running 4.2 to fix the issue..

What I mean is if you're on 4.1.2, the 4.2 apk probably wont work, so you will need to be on the right ROM.. Also you need root if you just want the apks, they're not installable. Probably will work across all 4.2 samsung devices, but not 4.1.2 devices.

Correct. I am already on 4.2 ROMs on my devices and they are all rooted. And certainly the Phone/Contacts apps are not installable. I will just push them directly into the system/app directory and overwrite the current ones. After wipping all of their data & caches & clearing settings on some dependencies plus a reboot, I am hoping it will work. And all is backed, so the risk and liability are zero.. whatever doesn't work or renders any experiment into a failure, is just a CWM Recovery away
So all I need now is a 4.2 ROM Phone/Contacts apks from the S3 and see where that leads me to:highfive:

Download something like Omega or Wanam lite in "Android development". Wanam lite, smaller so quicker to rip the apk's out of. Both deodexed.

Is there say way to add Call recording to the Galaxy S2?. I don't really care if its via a small change in the stock dialler or its an extra app I have to install.
But people keep stating that the S2 has native call recording, but if that is the case then why has Samsung not included a core app that supports it. Or at that, allowed it straight in the original dialler they provide.
So is there a fix/hack to add it to my own dialler, or would I have to get apps frp, the market to really see this working?
Anyone that knowns?
Why not just download an app from the market there are plenty of call recording apps.
Because I would prefer it working just stock, now that Samsung has actually added native support for it. But I guess I could try one of the free ones

But is there any call recording app people can recommend, apart from Total Recall, which I am NOT going to get regardless.

Maybe that is a old version, what about extracting the same 4 files from the current CriskeloRom version which is kj2 and put them on your phone. Make sure to wipe both caches.

Well I could do that, if I knew which 4 files it was . And so far as I can see it seems like this mod also only supports english language and not supporting the selected language of the phone. Not that it really matters considering my phone is set for english.
But what 4 files would I need to replace in that case?.

Not hard to figure out just download the zip in the linked post and look at the four files it has two are apks and two are libraries in the /system/lib directory
Off the top of my head (don't trust my memory) they were phone.apk phone_util.apk and libaudioflinger.so and libaudiopolicy.so
I'm about to root for the first time and I've always done a backup of my stock out-of-the-box ROM before flashing anything so I don't have to rummage through threads later looking for the stock ROM for my phone to unroot to.
Coming from the Android phones I've had, Titanium was what I always used to do a full backup. Is there somewhere though, just to be safe, that has the exact ROM for my SFR GS3 I9300?

Ok great. All I really want to know for sure is that when I do test any ROM for this phone I already have a complete copy of it sitting somewhere in case I ever need to sell it or return it.
Going to try some Vanilla JB (Foxhound or something). I wish there was a JB ROM that had Samsung apps but no Touchwiz. Doesn't exist apparently.

Well, all the homescreens are pretty similar in terms of app layout, etc. But also with Touchwiz I'm not crazy about the app deck, the menu system, the Samsung camera, the notifications bar, etc. Why?

Well, that makes sense.
Yeah, what I meant before was that pretty much every ROM looks the same when you're flipping through home screens. It's in the menu system that you really see differences and I just don't like the big blocky, slightly iOS-ish look of the menus within apps and contacts, etc.
But I would love a ROM that keeps all the motion features. And wifi tethering is a must.
Just spent a whole lot of time looking at several ROMs in original and regular Android dev forums. Is there not a single JB Vanilla that has WiFi tethering and has the motion functions? All of them seem to say tethering is not possible.
What a shame. I haven't read every last ROM but I've pretty much seen them all.
Wifi/bluetooth tethering doesn't work on aosp/cm roms but last time i used this with my sammy secondary rom to connect my tablet to the net it worked.
And if you quit the official sammy world don't care about csc its only utility is to drive samsung OTA update (mine is 'unknown' ).
Ohhhh, I see. What a shame.
So my only choice is to find a secondary Samsung ROM? I was hoping for a more Vanilla JB feel throughout the phone and also for a different camera. But I do need to be able to connect my tablet. Plus, SFR gives me an app to tether with that works quite well. Only problem is that righ now my Galaxy tab 7 with an ICS ROM isnt connecting to any local WiFi here in Paris anyway for some reason.
Well, thanks.

answer - get root, build.prop editor, do 320. 240 is too low.

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

Yes I did....it would launch, but close after few sec.
I posted a msg in the forum, they said that the TW dialer, MMS, etc won't work on this ROM because of the incorporation of aosp code.
I love the ROM, seems smooth and light, but cant stand the dialer/mms...haha
It seems in my situation, the only 2 roms that have no issues where everythign works is HD and Exlipse. HD I like the interface, Eclipse, I like the smoothness, and battery life....

I am on wifi but never had this problem with Alliance Rom. Do I need to change a setting? I'm using stock messaging. Could it be that I am using a different kernel other than stock?

I have heard other users report that issue before with 3rd party kernels in the main thread. I have tried the function on the stock rom (granted quite a while ago) and it did work perfectly. I would try flashing the stock kernel and see if the issue persists.
Didn't see there was this [email protected] forum. Awesome. I'm on v8. When I try to view pictures via stock gallery they won't auto rotate. Wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks

Try going to Settings/Language and Input/Voice Search and make sure that everything is enabled. On a side note, if you updated to the latest leaked lollipop version of Google Now or the launcher, Ok Google functionality is broken.

I just answered this in the main thread, it has to do with an init.d script running, check the main rom op.

Im going to look into this. I think it was from a simple mod that I did. I might post an updated version in a day or two.
Talking about lollipop goodness, how about adding lollipop Gmail ?
I'm using lollipop SMS messenger and tried the gmail but gmail force closes..
And great job BTW, thanks.

All enabled, I installed The Xposed Framework and Xposed Installer from your bundle, could that have messed it up?
Voice recognition works if I open the Google Search app and press the mic, also "Hi Galaxy" isn't working for Hands Free Mode.
Thanks for the help
I chose Google Launcher from the install menu when I setup the ROM, maybe that did it? I uninstalled it and restarted, still nothing.

Well if you are refering to OK Google command, make sure that you have the search widget on your home screen or you can enable the ok google anywhere option in Google now settings. Xposed by itself and any of the included mods should not really effect anything depending (of course) on what mods that you have installed. If You want t troubleshoot than just uninstall the xposed framework from the xposed settings and reboot. You can always just reenable it with the touch of a button. Of course the last case senerio that I would recommend is doing a full wipe (data, system, cache and dalvik) and doing a fresh install. That should definately fix the issue as long as its not hardware related (your phone itself).

I tried enabling from any screen, when it prompts me to say Ok Google 3 times it doesn't recognize it. So yeah, I'll try a fresh re-install.
I'll update!

A silly question; how to get project infinity lockscreen wallpaper back? It's not in wallpaper list...
I noticed you updated on the 24th is that the new release?
I'm on v8 and my phone refuses to screen cast to my Samsung TV.. My girlfriends unrooted T-Mobile S5 does it just fine every time, but mine just says "Connecting.." then drops it every time.. I'm stuck as to why!!
Any other download source than Mega upload?
For some reason my post about the above topic disappeared. Thought this was the Q&A forums but now I'm not so sure.
Was wondering if there was any other way to get this other than downloading an extension that is corrupt and wont tell me where its downloading my files at?
There are NO options to set as for my files to download and I will NOT let it download to C:/ drive just in case it opens a backdoor to allow viruses onto my computer. Call me paranoid all you want too.
Is it being hosted on any other sites that I can control what gets installed and where? Even Pirate Bay allows you to save files wherever you want too. I'm not asking for much. Just dont want my main drive to get whacked by some crap that I have to install just to download files "over 1GB in size you need our extension" . Ummmmm no I don't. Just download the file and allow me to put it where I want to put it. Thats all.
Google Drive or Dropbox account maybe?
Have the v4 and v5 as they were hosted on androidhost or something similar. But then you switched to Mega.nz for some reason. Don't know why. Thanks for anyones help in this problem.
