i dont know what has changed but all the sudden the stock messaging app keeps changing my font size to medium when its set to small
i change it back to small and it goes back to medium at some point, im not sure why its not saving
If you have played with dpi on any of the LG phones, you already know a couple things about the limitations
Basically, LG apps can open with as low as 530 dpi with the exception of the Camera (FC when zooming in fully) and the second screen. Many people opt to install texdroider to lower overall dpi while keeping the essential LG apps at the minimum of 530 with AppSettings in order to avoid multiple force closes.
The question is now on the second screen - the second screen is a bit tricky because the "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" will force close on anything lower than 640. The result, when you keep this at 640 while changing everything else to a lower dpi, is a bigger clock font on the second screen when the main screen is off - bigger relative to the weather,date, AM/PM indicator, and the battery icon. (MON 25 8:44 AM)
I currently have my phone at 530 dpi without any issues - but the weird thing is that the font size appears normal at the immediate moment when I lock the phone, then after a few seconds, it becomes bigger again. I'd post a screenshot if I could figure out a way to do so.
Anyone have a fix for this, by chance?
I just deleted the app in titanium backup AND removed the icon from the second screen options

Did you mean deleting "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" or just deleting the second screen app and not using it at all?
I uninstalled the miniclock app. Then removed the clock icon from the second screen "options" and replaced the clock icon with any other app so the secondary screen is not looking for that app in particular. I run the system at 480 dpi. All LG apps were set to 640
You may be able to just freeze miniclock to do the same thing.

I apologize but I'm not quite sure if I follow - how do I access the "options" for date&time when the main screen is off? What app are you using to replace that 8:44 text?
The mini clock is only for the second screen. The lockscreen clock works fine . I run my dpi at 480 by the way

I think we're talking about two separate things. I'm only talking about the second screen when main screen is off.
You had mentioned that you uninstalled "com.lge.miniclock.font.default", at which point you "removed the clock icon from the second screen options and replaced the clock icon with any other app so the secondary screen is not looking for that app in particular."
I suppose my first question is... what clock icon? When main screen is off, my second screen shows "MON 25 8:44 AM" and the only existing icon is the weather icon to the left. The clock (8:44 in this case) is simply a text - of which my problem is that it's relatively a bigger font size than the rest of the text.
Secondly, how are you able to access the second screen "options" for when the main screen is off? The only option accessible seems to be for the signature, and not the Date&Time. http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/larger/public/article_images/2015/11/V10_second-screen-settings-MAIN.png?itok=pj9kNJfy
Oddly enough, freezing "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" doesn't seem to actually do anything. Even after restarting, the phone still displays the same on the second screen when main screen is off.
This is all I did.
1. Remove/delete/uninstall the mini clock app using titanium.
2. Go to second screen settings for shortcuts. The analog clock was removed from the shortcut options.
3. I added camera and my browser as shortcut options.
4. I Turn second screen off when the screen is off. I only have the second screen active when the screen is on
Reboot.
Then apply dpi in app settings to system and Android UI to 480. All LG apps set to 640. Adjust other apps to preference.
Reboot.
FWIW LG apps can go down to 527dpi which I believe is small enough to have it universally set for all apps. I have my phone set at 527dpi, and minifont deleted. The only app I have changed with App Settings is the camera which needs to be on 640dpi
Can I still set the overall dpi to 540, and all LG app to 640 without the need of deleting the mini clock but switch off the second screen when the main screen is off?
Yep... Backed up mini clock then uninstalled it. Reboot... Used Texdroider_dpi and changed dpi to 540... Reboot... Works with no FC issues. Second screen works also. Lg apps work fine with Dpi set at 540. Looks great with more screen real estate. ???? thanks to all developers working so hard! U guys rock...
Any way for dpi change for h960a?
Hi. I just installed Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) to my LG G2 (D802, International edition from Finland). Here is some issues that I have with it.
- there is far too much scrolling involved in navigating trough the settings menu. The line spacing between options is much larger than it was in stock Kitkat 4.4.2. Is it possible to somehow reduce the line spacing and in this way get more options to fit to the screen and reduce the need to scroll up and down...? Changing font size does not affect line spacing. Changing LCD Density under Display settings does, but it makes everything smaller and I only want to reduce the line spacing.
- is it somehow possible to get clock, status bar, pattern lock and camera button all to the same screen? Pattern screen has nothing else than the pattern in it.
- when in silent mode and all animations off, the camera app (snap camera) does not do any kind of shutter animation (even white screen for a blink of second). Is it somehow possible to enable a white screen shutter animation? In current situation I am not always sure after pressing a button if the phone did or did not take a picture.
- currently the gallery shortcut in Snap camera opens AOSP Gallery. IMHO in AOSP Gallery it is too difficult to delete pictures/clips. Is it possible to change the shortcut to point to Google Photos Gallery...?
- do you happen to know if it is still somehow possible to get Chrome tabs to recent apps. I liked that feature but Google has removed it recently. I wonder if there is way to use it even in newer Chrome versions...?
- any recommendations for using Facebook messages on the phone? I hate Facebook messenger app.
- any tweaks for maximizing deep sleep and battery life are welcome (I already disabled location history)
I changed the DPI trying to see if it'll make a few things look better and didn't write down the original settings. Can someone let me know what's the stock DPI in the developer options. I have it set to 700 right now but some menus don't look sharp including the fingerprint icon on the lock screen. Thanks in advance.
800 dp is the default value, if your Screen zoom (in the display settings) is set to minimum. And by the way if you turn off the developer options, all changed settings will be reset to its default options.
Hello, I was wondering about this.
I know the AOD size changes with the display scaling options, however, is it possible to somehow change its size independently?
