Hello Guys,
due to my bad English i don't try to tell you why i made the following.
On my Moto G 4G i changed the Resolution to 720x1200 with the Command "wm size". Now the top and bottom bar is very small.
Could anyone tell me the command to change the size?

It goes of the screen res. Not adjustable by itself.
Meanwhile i found the App "Dimensions Editor" here on the Forum. And this App was of course able to Change the Status Bar and the "Button Bar" aswell.

They should not have been able to edit it. As the size is built into the framework and anything that can alter it may cause issues with other apps. Main reason people don't mess with the screen res is that the play store will not show the proper apps.

Well, i didn't know that. And i haven't tested it yet.
I try to write why i had to do this:
I bought this Moto G for just 30€.
But it has a Hardware Malfunction.
The Phone sends Touch Signals in the upper left and upper middle of the screen, about 30-50 Pixels from the top. Not all the time, but regularly.
I searched for a Solution (e.g "Dead Buttons" that i would Position at those 2 Points) but the Resolution Change was the only Thing that made Sense for me so far.
Btw is it possible to "drag" the Screen more to the Bottom?
Or does anyone have a genius Idea to let this Phone work like it should?

Running themer on my stock G2. I really like it but have an issue when often upon waking up the phone, the icons are shifted down and off the screen a bit. This ususally corrects itself after a while. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for the links not working, apparently I haven't posted on the forums enough. Thanks.

Is the issue just with Icons or does it happen to the widgets as well?
Do the themes you use have the status bar locked in place, or is it hidden until you slide down to display it?
I have yet to see this on any of our test phones.

It happens with the status bar shown or auto hidden. I've attached a couple of more photos of similar issues using other themes. In the one with the white back ground, check out the clock hands. It seems that it may be related to wake up? After I unlock and my home screen appears, the home buttons kind of slide up from the bottom. You can actually see the screen sort of adjust after the home buttons slide up. Sorry again for the links not working directly from the message. The forum won't let me post links just yet since I haven't made enough posts.

Ahhhh... those shots were helpful, but you mentioning the fact that the bar slides up from the bottom is really interesting and may just be the cause of this issue. We unfortunately do not have a G2 in the office to test this on.
Here is what I am thinking. If I run my N5 with a Paranoid Android Rom, or any other that allows me to remove the software navigation keys and replace it with the ring navigation, the aspect of the screen;s drawable area changes as far as Themer is concerned. In essence it makes my N5 a GS4 or HTC1 to Themer.
What I think may be happening on your device is very similar. I believe when you unlock the phone the aspect ratio of the draw-able area on the screen, may be reporting back to themer as larger than it really is, then the software keys finally slide into place and Themer takes a few seconds to realize the it.
Ill bring this to the attention of our Devs and see what they think.

Just a little more information. I think what you describe happening is correct. I was playing around with "Blades" set as my theme. After I unlock (pattern) the home buttons slide up and you can sort of see the main background adjust to the new screen size. It just looks like the widget parts don't adjust. If I long press and then change the default home screen to 1 and apply, it reloads the theme and everything looks OK and everything is in place.
I also noticed, if I sleep the phone with an app open, like the browser, it wakes to that app. The home buttons still slide up upon waking but when I return to my homescreen everything looks to be in place.
I hope this helps you guys troubleshoot. Other than this small issue, I love themer! Thanks! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you sort this out.
Same issue on LG 4x HD... i hope the devs solve this problem, cuz it's really great app, a way better than buzz launcher. Keep the good work guys. Issue seems to be like some incorrect columns vs. rows settings or maybe just the resolution 1280x720is not supported ?

For all of you still having issues with the LG device.
We have a work around for you.
This is NOT a fix from our end ... yet, but it will resolve the issue on your device.
The fix is pretty simple, you have two choice.
One, turn off your lockscreen on your device.
If this is not an option for you due to security concerns, then you can simply install an alternate lockscreen app from the market.
The LG lockscreen on these devices is the culprit, disabling/replacing it will fix this issue.
Hi
My Nook has only one small area that no longer accepts input, but that area covers exactly the area where the Next button is during installation of a ROM.
Installation screens don't rotate, they start in landscape mode with the N button to the right.
Is there an alternate way to click Next, maybe a way to activate a voice command? Or maybe a way to force the screen to rotate?
Are my only options to either alter the source code to make the Next buttons show up a bit higher on the screen, or to get my screen replaced?
Thanks for all feedback.

If you feel like messing around, you could try to use ADB on TWRP to pull your /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, edit it with SQL, find the value that means rotation and set it to whatever value seems correct (I can't use touch events. ****ty Touchscreen Firmware Flasher app crashed on me and left me with no driver). Sorry if this is very sketchy, but it's all I know off the top of my head. You could also try out other ROMs (I know some do rotate the setup screen) or use MIUI. Cool, but not very useful. I wish someone with the correct knowledge could make a port and us, the ones who only know the hands-on stuff, could beta-test these things... Very nifty.
Hi Guys
I just purchased a H96 Pro Plus, in the status bar there is a solid circle icon that wont disappear no matter what I do, I also don't know what program it's tied to.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or if someone knows what it is, its freaking me out because it looks like a recording icon.
Android version of box is 7.1.1
I am posting here because I have no idea where else to post about this

Hi, I just got this box with 7.1.1 and have the same circle icon. Not really sure what it is, but if i find out I'll post back here.
It wouldn't be the button to get back to the home screen like on any other Android device?

No, it's up top in the right hand corner where the time and wifi icon is.
When I click there all it shows is the wifi icon and a few others but the solid circle icon isn't there in the menu.
I'm thinking it's tied to a hidden system app but I have no idea what!
If you have a touchpad or mouse do a quick double click on the bar to make it show up fully.
Then you should be able to see what program is linked to it.
Go in the app manager and disable all notifications for that app - the circle should disappear.

I've done that, there's nothing there with the solid circle only the usual icons.
Even when I click on edit icons to either add or remove them; there is no solid circle icon there, this is what leads me to believe it's tied to a hidden app.
You wouldn't have the app "Sixaxis Controller" installed by any chance?

Nope, I have nothing like that installed.
Then I am running out of ideas here what could be represented by a solid circle
On my unit (7.1.1), the solid circle disappeared when I made change in system language. Just change it to anything, then change it back.
Another icon that may appear there is a circle with minus symbol in it. Thats means you mute the unit.

Wow that actually worked, how weird that it's related to language.
Thank You...
With the H96 Pro Plus (or others that are S912 devices) that have a solid white circle in the notification bar on the right side, this is a trojan indicator that is part of the Wireless Update utility. The updates for these boxes don't work anyway, even more so the wireless update. If you ran any decent anti-malware / anti-virus software on the device you would find the trojan. The solution is to uninstall the Wireless Update without running it and reboot.
For the white circle with the line in the middle, that is the DO NOT DISTURB icon. That can be changed in settings. Search for the word "Disturbed" in settings and turn it off.
Should you happen to get the White Trojan Token icon again, see what apps you have recently loaded. Run an app, like Malwarebytes against it and see if you possibly loaded something you really don't need on your device.
It should be noted a lot of MTK and S912 devices with hacked Chinese firmware may cause this icon to appear. It also shows up with hacked Yoka KB2 software upgrades. In this case, it is usually a BitCoin miner installed on your system, and it takes more than root permissions to remove it. Should this appear on an MTK device, run any form of benchmark software to test memory and you might be surprised the memory and CPU cores you thought you had were all a coded facade.
Hope this helps.
Multi windows options not showing on PIE (S9+). After tapping the spacer icon the options are not showing (see screenshots). Any suggestions?
The multi windows options are explained here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00079048/
Yes I notice it. U have to do it the other way... Not sure why they remove it
They changed it a bit..
When your in recent apps there is a symbol that appears at the top of the app. Pressing that will show a menu, one of the options is "open in split screen view".
This is how you now access the feature. I attached a screen shot of the settings app showing the respective symbol. Yellow arrow points to the symbol you want to press (symbol will vary pending on the app).

Thanks for this. I was slightly confused at first, it might be easier for people to understand to say that the app's icon appears at the top of the app in the recents screen, and tapping that icon gives you the options for the app, like split screen, pop-up view etc ?
I want to creat a 'icon pair on the home screen' that option is missing from the new menu. Thats my real question. Sorry about asking it in two steps
You can creat an icon pair in the edge screen but it will not appear on the home screen. Any ideas?

I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either, though I haven't used the feature before so I never created an app pair on my home screen. It maybe something they changed and now is (or with one UI maybe only ever was) available from the edge panel.
Update - Checking the users manual (for our phone with Android Pie) indicates the only way to natively create an app pair now is via the Edge Panel.

There is an apk called split-screen creator in the play store that allows you to create shortcuts that can be placed on the home screen.
It's quite annoying. I cannot access the menu bar anymore. Looks like the first cm of the screen cannot be accessed.
If I go to settings, I can use it. In other apps, such as WhatsApp it's not accessible. It happened after the restart when it updated Android to v12.
Does anybody know a workaround?
To be more precise, the upper part of the screen can't be accessed. If I rotate the screen into landscape mode, it's fine. I can also not click buttons or text on the upper screen area. It's about 1 cm from the top. Everything else from down there works.
And as I said in my original post. If I open an app, the upper screen area works as well, so it's not a hardware issue.

Do you use an app like Energy Bar? I reset my phone for the same issue and whe reinstalling each app I found it was Energy Bar causing the issue, I guess because it requests screen overlay permissions?
