Hi
Guys we all know some apps dpi are just not compatible with ultra, well its nobody's fault if it all ends well. Some of you probably know this fix but for people like me who didn't below are the issue and the fix
Issue: The text box in skype gets cut off i.e we can call, voice call etc but just can't text anybody. Its even worse in landscape!
Fix:
Prerequisite:
1. Root
2. Always backup
Method 1.(I dont prefer)
1.Use an app in google play store to change the dpi, drawbacks is it will affect the whole device i.e everything gets tiny.
Method 2 (I prefer)
1. Install xposed installer from HERE
2. within xposed download and install App Settings
3. Run App settings search for skype and then change screen dpi to 800x1280, hit save.
thats it the text msg box will reappear without changing the size of the font.
Yes there is just an apk you could rather install without going thru xposed installer but then again i suggest everyone to experiment & discover mods present in xposed installer.
Or just rotate the screen and boom it's there?

I think you haven't used Skype. It really works fine in landscape for me. Everything appear normal. Only in portrait the issue appears.

Well, hello left hand i suppose? Yeah not to discourage you to fix portrait issue, but to do rooting and installing Xposed just to fix such issue is not worth it imo.. Just move that lazy left hand and problem solved. I have sounded to them in Play Store though through my Rating Comment so while i agree it is irritating to have the portrait issue, but it's not worth the time to fix it by rooting and such. Maybe the better solution if you customize the Skype apk and post it right here so unrooted people can gain the advantage too.

I never checked back on this thread until I got an email today.
Not to sound rude but mate I seriously dont need your encouragement either. I was just trying to help. Skype will eventually fix this issue. Its pointless decompiling, editing and uploading for me. Most of the users have root and Xposed module is widely used. Moreover 'root' has been clearly stated as a prerequisite item in the OP.

Well i was just stating the obvious, put it into landscape and it's fixed, use that two hands of yours. There are a lot of unrooted users here you know (me included, due to Z series rooting hassle) so i just put it up right there so anybody can realize that. I was not aware of this issue until using Skype unintentionally in landscape, so to save anybody's time who hasn't done rooting, just go landscape bud, nobody ever complaining about playing their game in landscape and plus, just as what you said, they will fix it anyway, so why the need to kill the flies with a bullet?
But then again, no offense for you and i apologized if i have said something in a wrong manner, case closed.
Thanks a lot for this!
I have to say that I use Skype a lot, and this was a true issue for me.
This is XDA after all, so a solution using rooting is perfectly acceptable, and it is just a matter of what you want to do with your own device. (also root is reversible, isn't it?)

I should apologize too. Lets hope someone comes with a better solution for users without root.
Take it easy mate.
One of the (bad) solution is to use the version 4.0.0.22082, the last version that lets you choose between phone and tablet UI yourself. (you can find it if you search for the APK)
Now Skype is at version 4.7 I believe, so yeah, that's bad ^^
You can also try IM+ pro, which lets you connect to skype, is better with the battery but really is not reliable when it comes to the quality of the connexion (also isn't free).
Yeah, I researched that a lot, haha!

So it's the reason why I told you that it's really a mess to use it in landscape mode.
And it isn't a bug, but a decision of Skype to provide the app like that.
I had the same issue with the Ascend Mate, now with the Xperia Z Ultra.
So I'm sorry but it seems that you're not a real phablet user and also a real Skype user or you must have amazing hands ! Please share your picture from the guiness book !
Otherwise, if you follow also the community forum of Skype, you can see that we are a lot to complaint concerning that, and we will continue !
One thing I found, since I'm using Skype a lot for work, and I can't escape it, is to use Swiftkey keyboard (and probably others).
Not only it's a great keyboard normaly, it also have a "split" layout where the keys are reachable by thumbs on both sides of the screen.
It is the only way that Skype was actually usable before I found this thread
Today all vesion old can't connect to Skype, update to v.5xxx not show reply text... set dpi in appsettings it's very big!

New Features
Journey stats saved in /My Documents/hdSpeedo
Tidied up the /My Documents/hdSpeedo folder.
Error logging to file
Display of Max speed. This swaps every 15 secs with the AVG speed
Planned Features
Looking at making the application skinnable
Bug Tracking
None noted at the moment
Please see attached file for full version history.
There are two buttons on the speedo page, one will log your current position, the other will start logging your track.
These write to KML files which you can load into Google Earth as below.

Please install SQL CE from the cab found here.
Please bear in mind that I have written this for my own use and am quite happy to put this out for others to use. I will take on board suggestions, but will continue to develop this at my own pace.
Many Thanks,
Paul Ryder.
Thanks for you application.
I see the bars on the top left corner. Is it GPS signal status ? If so, why the bars is still there when I stop GPS ?

Ah, that would be a bug..
Cheers, have added it to bug tracker and will resolve it shortly.
Great little application. Thank you.
A suggestion, perhaps an adjustable speed warning. IE change screen colour when over a set top speed. (or even stages of screen colour changes ie at 30/50/80 etc)
Thanks again
I noticed the name of your app "GPS Speedo" but some one already has that name for there GPS app over @ http://www.tchartdev.com/
So it'll get confusing to know whats what between the two.
Hi Ralph,
Tried your application yesterday and today and seems to be working fine. Speed shows nicely, AVG seems to be correct.
Some pointers you might wanna consider;
1- The font could be more clear. The "greyed" lines are a bit too visible I think
2- Are the gps records logged? You could integrate this into some kind of export. For people (like myself) who drive the same route to work every day, it would be fun to see some statistics..
3- Max. speed warning (no sound effects, please )
If I come up with something else, ill let you know. Thanks for the nice app!

1 - Still not decided on the font yet, I like the matrix style, but was going for the grid behind it. I might just remove that.
2 - They are not logged yet, I just need to know how people want it logged?
Raw nmea sentences
KML files to use in Google Earth
Or another way
3 - I though of this, how would you like it. Single speed or stepped as suggested before?
I am also going to provide logging for the trip, times/distance/(ave/max) speed etc
Cheers,
Paul.

Hmm, All I do is install the two fonts, I know that WM will use the best choice font, but that's a bit silly.
I'm going to remove this one from the next release. Try going to \windows\fonts and deleting the Font that Ends in A___.ttf.

Happened the same to me...
Looks like the apps that are being affected are missing a font, I had this with the Facebook app installed by default on Dutty's Leo R4.
Windows Mobile tries to be clever if you select a font and it's not on the device, it chooses the one closest in size (I think) to the one it's trying to use, thus you get some Random effects.
I'll see if I can restrict the font to only be used by my app, deleting the font will revert your other apps back to normal.

But also 'cause GPS Speedo to become unusable? I didn't try though..
It is still usable, but the Gray background looks even worse.
At least your other apps are usable again.
I'll get an update out at the weekend.

Active developer +1
First change.
Removed one of the fonts as it was making other apps unusable, thanks MS..
Also changed the name as GPS_Speedo isn't unique by any means.
Remove previous version if installed.
Unzip the cab file, copy to device and kick off install with file manager.
Cheers,
Paul.
This is a great application Paul, my 300ZX's speedometer does not work, so I use this app as an alternative and help me stay in the speed limit. Cops always watching me if I passed the limit in the highway
Didn't get the chance to install 2.1 myself, but view a few few reviews on here and YouTube, not sure i would want 2.1 if it was the same spec released tomorrow.
Why only 24 icons a page now and not 32?
Knowlonger 1 wallpaper per room
Can knowlonger delete unwanted rooms
Never disliked the old keyboard that much and now no arrow keys
With a 2.1 update i was hoping for (as i never had a problem with 1.6)
Open home page in portrate
Positive
Bookmark thumbnails in browser!
Anyone go any major positive/negative to report
Maybe Dell will read this before release and take note if there are enough comments one way or the other!! Then they might not!!
I was also hoping for a portrait homescreen and a more interesting homescreen something like the sence from htc...and maby a portrait program menu when opening it directly from the homescreen!
Maby someone of the rom devs here will be able to create a 2.2 rom with htc sence on it than it would be perfect for me
To be fair, this is a leaked Beta version. I'm sure I hope they have quite a bit more to add
Like FFC support in the camera app (works in fring).

I did a crappy review on my site (in sig, not the food one lol) if you want to check it out.
I like the new keyboard, the old keyboard was a pain with the number pad making everything squished to the left. BUT a left and right arrow key would be nice for sure (since no trackball).
As for all the other bad things you mentioned, easy fix is download ADW Launcher from the Market and then set it as default for when you hit the home button and then go into ADW Settings and change the rows and columns to 6 and you'll have all the space you ever needed on your home screen plus portrait rotation
@jmhalder
Front facing camera would be nice but how about zoom option lol Just want the Android 2.2 camera app from my Nexus... sigh
Now if only someone would make an AOSP Android 2.2 build for the Dell, I'm be in love with this phone....

Not so crappy, one of the best imho. It is great to hear from an informed enthusiast rather than just an opinionated commentator.
Not too sure about the intruding background music. Personally I found it distracting (that's a euphemism for annoying btw) to the extent that I stepped through the review in the rush to switch it off.
But that is just me, no doubt you gets loads of compliments asking for it to be turned up.
I like the scope of your site too and shall check in regularly.
Just to make sure I'm not missing anything. The Dell Facebook widget is NOT in the 2.1 update? Just did it and don't see it in the listing. Only the stock Android Facebook widget... Ohwell... Liked the Dell one... Any APK's floating around..? Also, anyone know if the HTC keyboard works with it..?
HTC keyboard is a no go... Crashes on launch... sigh...
i hope theres more to add to this in the final release!!!

To be honest Id assume that itll be in the final release (remember this is a beta release) because there is also no facebook integration for your contacts built in like there is in 1.6 so Im guessing all the Facebook stuff is missing.
You can download Facebook fkr Android and it has its own widget.
HTC's keyboard would be a nice addition...
There is the option for facebook integration in the accounts section, but once you enter you credentials it disappears.
So I would expect it in thefinal
PS the only negative I have (over 1.6, as I would also prefer portrait-especially because all apps default to portrait and im sick of flipping the phone to keep it in landscape) is that I cannot see all the apps in the market, annoying but I can live with it....just

Ya true.
As for your negative, have you tried ADW Launcher from the market, itll get you that rotation on the homescreen then once your in portrait just go to settings and turn off auto rotate and it should stay portrait.
As for the market issues, Google 'Market Enabler.apk' and install it. It lets you mimic different carriers etc so you can see more of the market. You just have to experiment with the settings till you get one you like.
Hope that helps you for now.
I can't see a number of apps including some that I bought also.
MyPlayer(free) has disappeared and logmein ignition(not free) has disappeared.
Excellent i'll give those tips ago

Hi,
Skip the next paragraph if TL;DR
I got this phone like a month ago. It came with 4.1.1, but I've flashed it with official 4.1.2 shortly after.
Since then I have flashed it couple of times with never official ROMs, and then finally moved to CM 10.1.
I was really amazed with the presentation of the pure android, not only the launcher, but dialer app, timer, alarms, messages, the browser, gallery - stuff like that. And while I'm still amazed with that, those simple annoyances that come with custom AOSP bug me, making me want to go back to the stock Samsung ROM. You know, faulty camera app, battery life, but what bugs me the most is that it's developed as nightly by regular people (don't get me wrong I bet those people are more talented than Samsung programmers, but they probably won't get fired if they **** something up).
In the end I just want my phone to work. Said that I'm going to get back to the official ROM, probably root it and remove apps I don't need, but to the point.
I searched for it, I really did, and looking how popular this phone is nowadays I'm having troubles believing that I can't find anything.
1. Stock messaging app lags as hell while scrolling. Please, one more person is going to say it's smooth and I go crazy. Open a conversation in stock Google Talk and in Messages and it is a night and day difference. I consider replacing it with Google messaging app, but I really like the stock lock screen notifications.
2. Stock web browser is lightning fast compared to any other browser I tried (including Dolphin or Chrome Beta) and I mean the scrolling and overall user responsiveness. However when you double tap a paragraph, or anything for that matter, it just won't center around it as other browser do. All it does is it zooms in in that direction. This is really annoying.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Michal C.

I'm note asking how to fix anything specific, as I believe it is not broken. However maybe people have similar experiences and would like to elaborate.
Well to be honest my in conversation scrolling is flawless, and tap to zoom seems pretty much as I expect, having played with it I would say it zooms quite intelligently, although, as you say, the zooming isn't centred where you tap, but it seems to zoom to say, a paragraph and centres it, in my example, on that para I tapped, and the adjacent one that I would logically next read, so that might account for it

I cannot test it right now as I'm still on CM 10.1, going to flash it back to stock when I get home from work, anyway I remember when I tap to zoom on a paragraph of text it zooms in but in a way that the left side of the paragraph is off the screen, resulting in text being unable to read without scrolling to the left. It worked fine in Chrome and other browser (CM one for example), stock Samsung browser on the other hand, always worked the way I described.
I don't know how to respond to your flawless in conversation scrolling, as I recall it be very different for me from the start. I don't think it's my setup as I was whipping all the data couple of times, flashing never roms, always experiencing the same thing.

Just wondering if you're zoom problem is related to dpi? Are you on 320 or less?
have you ticked "Force GPU Rendering" in Settings => Developer options...
this will make things a bit better though not solving them completely...
try it and see if its managable otherwise, no solution until samsung fixes it..unfortunately..touchwhiz is very heavy on SGS3 though it comes with good asthetic feel...!

You are not alone. If you have 500-600+ conversation, scrolling lags. If it's 1000+, well good luck to you.
I think that's the reason, samsung by default deletes messages and keeps the count 200 +.
Third party SMS apps, get rid of the issue by loading partial smses.
I recommend GO SMS.
Even whatsapp does that. It makes sense.
Why load 100s of messages, when you're most probably gonna scroll the last 5-10 .
I re read those special texts and I had well over 1000 in a conversation. It didn't lag for me.

Young love is so endearing!
Use SuperWipe before flashing any ROM. Many people don't know how to properly wipe. A correct wipe will solve the problems you're talking about.
I love how people defend their phones.
I've had this problem on stock rom , way before I rooted too.
I have 34 threads ranging from 10 messages to around 4000 and i'm fine here. ZERO lag or stutter, i'm using NULL_22.1 it comes with CM10.1 messaging app. As for the aosp side of things, i use Jellybam, and again smooth as hell.

CM10.1 messaging is very smooth. However OP was complaining about the stock Samsung messaging app, which I personally hate

can;t use that, since when i restore my messages, it split's a thread, no matter how long, into a load of smaller ones
Thanks guys for your input.
Excuse me as I wont address each of you directly, but anyway. It is not an issue with not wiping data as i was flashing 3 file rom beforehand with repartitioning and ****.
I guess we all see things differently, for some of you the thing I perceive a lag or shutter is "perfectly fine" or "flawless".
Good for you - the ignorance is bliss!
No. There wasn't lag or stuttering. But go on and let yourself believe that. You are correct ignorance is bliss.

Omega ROMS
I rooted my phone and installed jellybean 4.1.2. Since then, I have installed a number of Omega ROMS. I am using V40 right now and am now questioning the reason for frequently updating to the latest version. I find this V40 to be flawless with great battery life. Everything works.
Can anyone tell me why updates come out so often?

I need someone to be my guinea pig and give this build a try. I no longer have the device but think this great device deserves this great ROM.
Your warrenty is now void blah blah. You know the deal. Please hit me with some feedback on bugs. Thanks
Download link: http://d-h.st/u2g
Rev. 2 http://d-h.st/mId
Not sure if this will fix dpi issue. I dont have a hdpi.conf file that doesn't have a nav bar. Might need to make one if this doesn't work.
Rev. 3 http://d-h.st/qI6
A attempt to get hardware button layout straightened out. DPI issue unresolved. Use Hybrid settings.
Rev. 4 http://d-h.st/iqW
Possible dpi fix.
Rev. 4 http://d-h.st/rzS
Finally figured out what the real dpi is. Should be allset. check gps to see if recent cm sources fixed issue.
Rev. 5 http://d-h.st/8xn
2.9.5 updates.

I'm downloading now, will throw you some feedback after I have it installed
EDIT: Ok here's my review, first thing off the bat I noticed was the screen size was too big, tried setting the DPI value in build.prop and reboot but it stayed the same. Everything else seemed to run really smooth otherwise, if you can change the DPI to the s2 default I think this rom would then be superb I also wouldn't mind helping you troubleshoot, I'm not a noob to this sort of stuff, so just let me know, I restored my backup but I also have a backup of this rom too...
Im more than willing to help test.I recently gave up a much more "powerful" and well known newer device in favor of a new i777.I am at your disposal

Alrighty guys I have another attempt in o.p. Let me know how it goes.
Got this up and running right now and it works great, no force closes or bugs . Can make calls and use Wi-Fi. One thing though when it first boots up you need to go to the hybrid setting and change the dpi and your set. Also one thing, you cannot press and hold the capacitive keys for different commands they can only be.set for one touch action and there is no option in the setting to add the search key so it's basically blank. I'll post a screen shot after I test it out more.
Here you go

Thanks for getting back to me. The new repository has a whole new way of dealing with hardware keys Im still working it out. Were any of them set to anything at first boot? Also I tried to set the dpi to 213 I take it that didn't stick? Do you remember what it was at before you changed it?

http://d-h.st/qI6 Tried setting hardware soft keys correctly.
The capacitive keys were as follows menu was set as menu, home to home, back to back, and search key is blank but does vibrate when touch. In then setting for the keys I can change the normal key presses but you cannot set the long press key options since they wont work.
The DPI was set to 360 for system and apps, all I did was enable the hybrid mode, rebooted, changed DPI to 213 system and 215 apps and made sure to change the ui mode to phone. It can change to phablet and tablet modes as well. The only issue I have is the search key , and long presses that don't work yet.
This rom so far is awesome and runs smoothly, also battery drain is non existing, though I do have a extended battery, but thanks and let me know if you need more info.
You have a new beta tester! I'll get some screenies for you soon.
Edit:
Initial DPI needs to be lowered. I think it's defaulting to around 350. Should be the low 200's.
Is there a reason Play Store isn't included?
Also, and you may know this, GPS is broken due to upstream CM changes. Might want to note that in OP as this is a feature a lot of people rely on. Maps seems to work, but other apps that use location can't get a lock.

When I tested first release build.prop said it was at 180...
EDIT: Gonna test new build, will respond back shortly...
EDIT 2: Ok you guys may have noticed that the Play Store displays too big when you load it up, to fix that just go to DPI Groups in Hybrid Properties, then add Google Play Store to the 213 DPI Group and that will fix it, I've also got my system DPI screen size fixed This rom is shaping up to be pretty good, nice job RBMacgregor

If the play store is not included its to keep the peace with google. They have done a lot for us and doing what they ask is the least we can do. It was in there at one point but may be pulled. As for the gps I was not aware its broken. I'm not too familiar with this device I'm just trying to get this build straightened out for my girlfriend who has the phone. Do you know what the deal is with gps? Is there a fix available or a commit I can revert?

What was the dpi set at in later builds? I dont have a file I need for hdpi no navigation devices but It must have worked or been in the old repo at one point. Im gonna try and dig into it and see what I can find. Other than stock dpi and gps everything else is hunky dory? system dpi should be 213
Ok. I don't think this will do it but I need someone to install this and tell me if there is a nav bar along with hardware soft buttons. http://d-h.st/iqW
p.s. well done guys thanks for the help.

Heyo.
This is my first Xposed module, aimed at the app Jodel.

This simple mod makes it possible to see where posts are written from geographically, by clicking on "Map" or "Close" on each post. (Edit: lat lng accuracy 0.00)
It also shows which posts in a thread that is written by OP.

Known bugs:
Their listviews is kind of messed up. Sometimes when you load a thread, the "Map" textview doesn't show up. You can fix this by clicking "Write answer" to go to another fragment, then click back to go back to the thread.
Happy stalking
Minor tweaks
No text length limit on posts and captions
Display which comments are made by the OP
View post origin on a map
Click on the distance indicator of a post to view a map of origin. 2 decimals accuracy.
Override GPS coords
Open the app Jodel Xposed and select the location you want to be in. Toggle active with checkbox.
Upload custom image
Share image to Jodel Xposed
Open Jodel and create post or comment
Swipe for camera and take photo
Long press on the image and the shared image should appear
Use Volume Down to change the scale type
Known bugs
"bug" - The top left city name is not changed
Does not appear to be working at all for me
I had Jodel already installed. Downloaded your APK and installed it. Ran Jodel, but nothing.. Rebooted and reinstalled etc but still nothing.
Running on Xiaomi Mi4.
Works for me! 5.0.2 aosp xiaomi redmi note 2
Anyway cool mod, nice work! had the idea to do this, how do u get gps coordinates? Wondering about accuracy
Accuracy...
The mod works fine for me, on my Samsung S5 mini, with stock android v. 4.4.2.
A small thing I have noticed though, is that the location coordinates seem to be off by approximately 0.2-0.4 miles in a south-ish direction. ( It varies from a little southeast to a little southwest of the actual location)
I have checked this a few times on Jodels I know the exact posting-location of (the Jodels being my own or some made by my friends ), and it seems to be consistent.
I don't know if I am the only one with this problem, or if it is something that can fixed.
Anyways, it is a nice work done on the mod, it hasn't crashed or given any errors so far.
I am using Google Maps to show the location coordinates, if that has anything to say.

Nice that you like it
The coordinates are only two decimals (from backend), so the accuracy is not that great.
youtube.com/watch?v=l46zKG6ZhvI&t=541 <-- Here they talk about why.
There is no accuracy value to change, so I don't think you can get them better than that
Aha, well then I suppose it is as good as it gets, which is still better than "close" or "very close".
Thanks
Hey, when we know somebody's approximate location, we can distinguish different people in a group discussion (although sometimes, multiple people will be grouped into one geographical location). Maybe you can implement a feature that makes this easier - maybe show random pseudonyms for answers from each geolocation in a thread, or maybe assign colors to locations and show those colors to the Jodel-answers.
Awesome
Module just works!
Didn't know, that there are Jodel-Communities outside of germany
P.S.: Do you want to opensource your Module? If not, its no problem, but i think it would be awesome if we could do this together as community
How making Google maps as default map. Annoyed of having choose all the time between the other map apps I have.
Doesn't work for me at all. When I enable the module, nothing changes. After a reboot, the module disappears from system/xposed.
Other modules such as GravityBox are working fine.

Cool stuff, I'll try it out. I've also created a Xposed Module for Jodel which I have not yet posted. I use it to upload images that I've already taken or if I want to post some random image.

This is really awesome^^
Can we suggest new features? Like choosing the color of the Jodel?
edit:
Do you know how accurate the geo data is? It seems a bit odd... My location provided isn't really accurate..
But I love the OP message^^
Oh, and another feature request, it would be nice to see all the post that got -5 and disappeared. They don't get deleted, there just not visible any more...
And if you need testers, let me know^^
broken after jodel update
Please make this module open source!
