Hey, how can I have the full screen mode on my CM 10.1?
I mean, everything on my screen is too big, icons and fonts, too!

What are you expecting "full screen mode" to do? I've not heard of it myself, unless you mean "expanded desktop". Please could you elaborate a little?
Personally, I always prefer on AOSP ROMs to lower the DPI to about 240 - 245 to make everything smaller and crisper.

And that's what I want: everything smaller! But I've installed CM and it didn't ask me if I wanted 320 or 240 DPI, and I was looking for a good looking ROM with a great design but I've tried 2 ones and I couldn't send / get messages :\

Well, you can change the DPI manually in build.prop. Or you can install exposed framework and get an app to change it (Per app DPI). If you could elaborate the problem about sending/receiving messages more, then it would be helpful.
Maybe ParanoidAndroid could be the ROM of your choice. PA offers complete or independent DPI settings without big editing like in pure CM10.1.
I personally use pacman ROM and have set via paranoid android settings apps DPI as I like. Some bigger some smaller.
Using an alternative launcher could also be a solution. In Apex you can set how many icons should be displayed in a row and line. This also makes the home screen "smaller"

Now that my Xperia Z Ultra is rooted I would like to change the DPI setting to match the functionality of my Nexus 7. Unfortunately I have never done this before and Google shows me several ways to do it. Maybe someone with a little bit more experience could point me to the best way to change the DPI and to which setting.
Thanks!

Changing the Dpi of the whole system is not really good. Some apps will not work very wall and some part of Sony app like contacts and others will show some display problem.
Best I know with stock ROM is to use Xposed framework and install per app setting (per app dpi). You need root but this way you can get tab UI application like dual screen on settings and tab UI for mail, gmail and etc... But for this you need to root your phone.

or, you could change the entire dpi, and set the relevant apps with xposed like contacts etc, the apps that you come across as wonky, set them back to default dpi size 320 i think.
Xposed is by far the more elegant solution. Plus there are lots of other models you can use to customise your Z Ultra

Agree. I changed the system DPI manually editing the build.prop, a let me tell you; chaos, chaos everywhere. Some UI elements were tiny, whilst other stuff crashed and wouldn't work. That was when I took sight on the mighty Xposed, who lets you take control over the these delicate details yourself. I strongly recommend Xposed.

I finally find back my two volume settings for notification & call thanks to this app !
Any idea to get the different method to stop the alarm ? On my previous gNote, I was able to shake the phone to stop the alarm (now it's a small button in the middle of the screen Hard to stop it ^^)

You can snooze the alarm by pressing volume buttons, just need to set it on your alarm.

i just rooted today and tried gravity, so it's working for me, LTE model
unfortunately, although changing the dpi in build.prop to 240 works fine for everything including contacts and phone, my contacts still crash when i try to open certain entries...not sure why though

Arrr right, maybe theres been an update. Actually I think Xposed itself has had an update.
I'll have a bash with it myself now. Just going to do a nandroid backup first as it went haywire the other time lol
For DPI settings I much prefer the per app DPI module :good:
Edit gravitybox still not working on my C6833 with .257 Rom.
Wait I've fixed it.. I was trying to open the module before enabling it in Xposed Works now..
After testing Xposed framework now for a few weeks I wanted to say it's a great recommendation! Thanks a lot ...
One more question: Is there a way to get rid of Sony's small settings in the notifications and get Android's stock settings (swiping down on the right side of the screen) with Xposed framework?
I found the 'Xperia Flip Settings' Module for the Xposed Framework. This was exactly what I was looking for.

hi there, i use the rom aeonflex on my LG G2 and can't use themer because of the screen resolution, G2 uses 1920*1080, but in the settings menu of themer says 1803*1080, DPI 480.
themer says it cannot work cause the menu bar reduces the screen dimension and cannot work.
some help?????

That's odd though. Make sure you haven't adjusted the sizing of the bar in any way. Any small change in your display settings will throw off all of the Themer settings.
themer will not work for me in my rom either ... i havent touched the dpi or anything .. it is 480 I believe but the screeen resolution is coming up as 1803x1080 :S... I do not know how to fix it
Yeah same here for my Xperia Z Ultra. I'd really like to try Themer, but it doesn't support the ZU. I'm on stock Sony build, no tweaks to nav bar or DPI that I know of. When I check the screen dimensions under Themer Debug Info, it says it is 1824x1080 with a DPI of 320. Perhaps it is the DPI that is the problem? Either way, would sure love a fix so I can try Themer out.

Hi Danial,
If your phone is rooted, please check that any other display setting has been set to default. This includes any height settings of notification/nav bars or any resolution settings. If you visit gsmarena.com, your phone settings should match the stock display settings for the G2.

Hi luvboox,
The developers are working very hard to improve Themer's performance and other features, however adding more device support won't be easy due to lack of resources. Once Themer is more stable we'll look into more device support such as the Z Ultra

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks
You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now
Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.
Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...
thanks for work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.

Have you tried using xposed and installing "app settings" through it? It lets you change individual app dpi's, you could try changing the dpi launcher to the normal dpi which is i believe 320.
