G2 navigation bar and themer compatibility - Themer General Discussion

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?????

You mean the galaxy S2 ? as the default screen resolution is actually 800 by 480,it may be the rom that is an issue and not themer

nope... LG G2.

Hi, Themer is designed to work on a stock resolution. Make sure that all your display/resolution/DPI settings have been set to default.

Works fine with my G2.

what's your rom?

using the xposed option to disable the navigation bar themer works fine.
but, that's a problem on the other side, phone is not really 100% without nav bar...

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

If still not working, please see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775244

LG G2, Nav Bar, & Themer
I rooted my G2 and did resize the nav bar. Is there no size I can make it to that's smaller than stock in order to use Themer?

[Q] DPI settings problems

I rooted my Ultra. Changed DPI to 240 - LOVE IT! Still on stock rom.
Most of the app adapted ok for new DPI but some not.
Installed "Exposed" and managed to get some good result adjusting Clock, Swift keyboard etc
Problem is the sistem Dialer (screen shot attached)
It's not actually a dialer.... It's the screen when the call is in progress.
I tried different 3rt party dialers but as soon i press call from any dialer i see this screen.
It is always in portrait mode.
It is usable but it looks ugly and needs to adapted for new DPI.
How can i adapt this screen to 240dpi using Expose?
What sistem app i need to modify.?
Thanks in advance for help.
in Exposed, have you tried changing Android System's dpi?
Verry interested by changing the DPI on the official rom.
What's the best way to do this ?
Just root the device and change the DPI setting in the build.prop ?
Using app setting I changed the phone and phone/messaging apk to 320dpi and screen to 480x854 also do the same for the contacts. Reboot and call yourself should be back to normal.
ParanoidAndroid is soon available for the Ultra. Check the dev section

Please set your DPI to default as well as make sure that the soft keys are visible. Soon we'll look at supporting multiple DPI settings for devices.
Any progress with alternative DPI settings on the Nexus 5? I'd love to run a lower DPI, say 421 or 381 for example.

Not yet, as it's an immense process to get all the widgets, icons and wallpaper to align correctly. Right now when Themer is installed it looks at what the device is called and chooses the appropriate themes. Throwing in custom DPI's makes this a bit more difficult, but the development should still be able to implement soon. :good:

I've run some of this themes installing first on stock DPI and custom softkey, then after set up the theme reverted to my pref DPI, no issue at all on my side
potential cause
A potential cause of that error may be the tweaks you've made to the navigation bar through gravity box.

Hi, your N5 screen dimensions should be 1776x1080. This means that your navigation bar might have been adjusted.

Ditto. I believe my LCD Density Value is set to 245. But themer can't handle that so I am wondering what people are using?

Any intention to support multi DPI?
Alot of Custom ROMS allow easy changing of the DPI, Seems your limiting your potential market.
I Love Themer, I just cannot use it, as Landscape and Multi DPI do not work properly.

I completely understand the complexity of the multi DPI.
But has anyone considered some pre defined DPI's
So at least the user can get a Near Enough DPI, and then tweaking the theme to fit perfectly is only minimal changes.
Again just a theory, I have never really worked on DPI.

There's a strange relationship with a device's DPI and resolution, which is why many device aren't supported (such as the G3). We've tried what you've suggested, however "near-enough" isn't what the average user wants

I have a rooted Nexus 5 with SlimKat ROM running. SlimKat changes the DPI by default, but using BuildProp Editor I changed it to the stock 445 DPI. However, Themer says my resolution is wrong. If I set Themer as my default launcher, I can press the home button and see the default Themer appearance, I just can't download anything from the app. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

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.

[MOD][Lollipop][2015-02-14] Fix navbar spacing on lower DPI

If you use a lower DPI like me (I use 320) on the 5.0 lollipop port by scrubber you've probably noticed the navigation bar buttons are too separated.
Flash the attached zip in recovery to fix this.
Only portrait for now. When I got some spare time I'll fix the landscape layout.
Status: Beta 1
Date: 2014-12-05
If you prefer to swap the recents and back button check out my other mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/themes-apps/mod-swap-recents-navbar-buttons-t2964524
Edit 2014-12-08: Added a revert zip. Flash in recovery if you want to restore the original SystemUI.
Edit 2015-02-14: Uploaded Beta 2. Fixed the IME switcher and menu button location. Also fixed layout in landscape mode.
This is great, thanks.
swap back and recent apps.
Good work OP. One question though, is it possible to swap the back and recent apps buttons? On 4.4.4 i just used xposed with gravity box but as far as i know xposed doesn't work on lollipop.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
It works perfectly, Thanks:laugh:

Oh, both of those are dependent on the launcher you're using.
Try this one where you can tweak most of the things: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Or this one which is the Google Now Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher

I know it's a little off topic, but I figured you might be able to give me some advice. I flashed this mod, and decided to restore a CWM nandroid back up.

Is it possible to tweak the dpi of Nova Launcher? The icons are too small when I'm on 320 dpi on Nova, but they okay when used in 400 dpi. On the contrary they are pretty decently sized when I'm using Google Search 4.0 + Google Launcher 1.11. I actually started using Google's alternative because of this and also due to the fact that the app drawer employs a white background which increases visibility even when the brightness is very low. I haven't seen this option in Nova yet. I know we can change icon sizes and scale them in Nova settings, but still the sizes and fonts are not proportional to what I would like it to be. Changing grid sizes helps a bit but it doesn't change the icon and font scaling problem.
I did try editing the shared_prefs.xml file from data/data and changed the dpi from 320 to 400 but it seems to reset it everytime the launcher is opened even if I've set the file to read only in properties.
Edit:
I also have another request for you. Can you change the navbar dp to 42 instead of 48 in portrait & landscape? 48 seems bigger than what it should be.
You don't need to tweak the dpi as you can change icon size in Nova
Or maybe that's only for payed users? Check in look & feel and see if you can change icon size

Yes, I used the option to manually resize the icons, but they're still way smaller than what 400dpi looks like.
Even after resizing, the icons are much smaller than what Google now launcher for Lolipop looks like at 320dpi. Only at 400dpi do they look okay.
Also what about the Navbar height? Is there anything we can do about that?
Is this "way smaller"?
Yeah I could make a mod changing the navbar height.
