Hi,
I followed the steps in the create rooted update thread, my bootloader is unlocked.
After flashing the flashable zip & running Nextapp SD card fix & rebooting then running DPI changer to change the DPI from the default of 480 to 361 the quick setting tiles are all squashed to the left side & there is big gap on the right. I have tried different DPI's but it always looks the same unless & set the DPI back to 480 which is too big for me & widgets get truncated etc.
Have attached a screen recording in the zip file as I can't take a screenshot as the notification drawer closes to show the power menu. Is there anyway of fixing this without xposed or setting the DPI back to default, have searched but can't anyone else with the same issue.
Cheers.
Anyone have any idea's on how to fix this? I made a backup with Philz recovery first before flashing the flashable zip & this quick settings tiles thing is making me slightly OCD so if no one can help then I will just restore the backup.
I asked about the same thing a while ago and someone said there's an xposed module that let's you put more icons in the same row, unfortunately I don't remember the name of the model, Im looking for it too

Thanks for the reply
I would rather not have to use xposed at all due to past experiences with it, everything was fine on .314 4.4.2 firmware, get the feeling that it is happening due to the way sony have changed the editing of the quick settings.
Hi,
System UI patcher with Xposed installer, it's the only way I know

@lejailleur many thanks for the reply.
I have installed xposed, rebooted & installed the systemUI patcher & activated it & rebooted again, I see some tweaks for the quick settings but I'm not sure what ones to use, what settings did you or @ptmaniac use to sort the squashed tiles issue?

I set the following stuff only:
Enable: Change quick setting width (for Z3 style)
Quick settings width (px) = 320 (i use 320 dpi, i'm not sure if you have to set the same as dpi but in my case it worked)
Enable: Change quick settings
Didn't mess with any other options as i didn't need it, hope this helped.
Cheers mate
I use 361 dpi so will probably try setting the width to that, bit annoyed that Sony changed how the quick settings are edited as that seems to have caused the issue, didn't have it on 4.4.2 .314 firmware.
Edit The 270 default seems to be the best one for me, tried some others but some of the tiles were cut off on the right.

I am posting here so as to not clutter JamieD's CM10 thread.
Currently:
-Phablet Mode - Small
-Apex launcher
No matter how much I play around with System UI and Android System, the DPI does not change for the lock screen.
I am trying to increase the DPI and rotate to landscape.
Any help would be appreciated.
******************************
SOLVED - Installed JamieD81's latest PA ROM All is good.
- paranoid settings
- Apps
- Android Settings
- 720PX
- I personally changed to 213DPI
Playing around with Google Framework at the moment, doesn't seem to be helping at the moment.
I think the System UI might do it. ..though I changed it and haven't been able to get back into tablet mode. After making a few changes. pad.prop is really finicky.

I'll try playing with System UI again. Wasn't successful previously. It seems that some setting changes do not seem to stick perhaps?
BTW, even though I could get the dpi changed it still wouldn't rotate for me.
And backup your pad.prop. I was testing with mine now I can't get it to go into tablet mode again. I re-flashed the ROM to get a clean pad.prop and I can't seem to get it to change from 320. Grrr. Do you have access to post your pad.prop?

I think I changed it to Tablet UI instead of using the slider. My slider wouldn't go over 170. I'm sure I messed up my pad.prop.
I just checked. In cm9 it was Google Framework to change lock screen. Doesn't seem to be working with cm10 though...

Solved - See OP.
Is it possible to maximize the size of the pattern lock in the new cm 10,11 builds? So it will be the same as ics but keep the JB/KK layout..
Thanks in advance,
Cheers.
So far i know its not possible. But i can suggest you two possible solution.
You can try to change different Grid size. But i am not totally sure whether it will works or not.
or you can flash any stock lockscreen zip which is compatible with CM10+.
Press thanks button it helps.

It's a known usability bug -- please see: github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues/164
The only way (I know) of changing this, is to change the DPI from 160 to 140. You can do so with build.prop Editor (1) or Xposed apps like "App Settings" (2). It'll change the rest/parts of the UI as well though.

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.

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:

And some rather large icons I'd like to decrease in size. Also, how can I add an extra row on the screen to have an extra icon or app? Thanks.
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
^ Thanks pemell, would you recommend Google Now Launcher/Nova launcher over the stock Sony 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. I've been stuck on the bootanimation for quite some time now. Is this to be expected? Again, sorry for the off topic post, and keep up the good work!

For me only the VERY first time takes a while to boot, 4-5 minutes at the most.
Any more then there's a problem!

Why did you want to restore a nandroid backup? Because of this mod? If so, I'll make a flashable revert zip available.
Regarding you being stuck on the bootanimation I got no idea, except that it's definitely not because of this mod.

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.
Version for Marshmallow is available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xtouchwizs5-customization-touchwiz-t3372401

Hi
I was so glad to see you module popup on xposed. But I ran into a weird problem...
Is it in any way possible your app broke the way my phone connects to Chromecast? I was using Chromecast just fine at the moment I installed your module. But I had to restart for it to activate. So I did....
Now I can't connect to my Chromecast anymore... (if it even shows up).
An old tablet still works fine finding and connecting to my Chromecast.
I rebooted my Chromecast, my router, deleted your app and cleared (davlik/art) cache.
Still not connecting. I'm out of ideas. I hate to point fingers but your app is the most likely reason. I know you're not responsible for anything. I just hope you can help. Any solution I have now is to factory reset my phone.
I'm on a s7 latest stock firmware. I use gravitybox without a problem.
On MM I also used xtouchwiz without problems.
Thanks in advance!

Im using Chromecast myself and don't have any issues.
Also, there is nothing related to chromecast in the module.
Only thing I can think of is - restore your original csc.
When uninstalling the module, the csc changes are not revertes, so you need to delete the others.xml / features.xml and rename the backup file it created. Try that, reboot and update.
please add the incoming and outgoing data. I'm using gravity N and it has that feature. thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Weirdly enough it seems to work again after a night sleep. I really don't know what the issue was. It seriously happened directly after I installed the app.
But maybe it was all a coincidence. I really hated to point the fingers at the app... But I tried en tested everything last night. Sorry for that.
About the backups for others.xml and features.xml...
I only see a features.xml.bak which is 0 bytes. So maybe that's a bug? Can you tell me what the app changes so I can check them in the features.xml? I would like to have it 'clean' before I mess with it again.
others.xml doesn't seem touched or have a backup... but maybe that has to do with what option I choose in the app.
Thanks for everything.

features.xml is only backed up if you have the features.xml file.
Since your device is using others.xml it doesn't backup it, but created features.xml instead and uses it.
Do you have features.xml file? if so is it populated with something?

So if I understand correctly I haven't had a feature.xml before installing your app. That sounds about right and explains the 0kb backup file.
Yes features.xml looks like an extended others.xml with extra lines.
Does this mean that I could delete features.xml if I wanted? So the system will automatically look back at others.xml?
Or would that mess something up?

@firefds I'm probably better off posting this here than the GravityBox thread.
GravityBox breaks the volume panel, notification volume can't be changed, it always resets to the previous volume.
Turning off "link ringtone & notification volumes" fixes it but then I have two notification volumes in the panel.
So I think this feature needs to be entirely disabled on TouchWiz.

Yes, I'm aware of that problem in GB.
I was trying to fix this for a while now, but for the mean time I just have the duplicated notification volume bar. It doesn't really bother me.
Edit:
I was able to remove the 2nd notification bar for Touchwiz and created a pull request in GB source.
This feature from Firefds Kit MM was even worse, so I removed it.

tamerh said:

Yes and its actually crucial that its there, since default Text Size and View Mode settings no matter how you combine them wont give ideal looking combo - either too large or too small + notification area only reacts to Text Size changes and view mode mode has zero effect on this area, so although view mode @SmaLL/font @normal makes everything look good, notification area + notifications look way too big,but when you make font @SmaLL everything gets way too small.
With dpi in play I have reached my current favorite combo -> Text size/view type at Small and dpi @392. Not too big, not too small.

Also not in my Mate 10 which is absolutely disastrous in my case which I want to use all apps to be compatible with split screen but I can’t as the option inside developer settings, “force all apps to resizable” needs resart to be activated but if I restart the phone , the developer options are not saved. Go figure
This also annoys me. Coming from iPhone 7+ which is only 1080p, the Mate 10 looks low res.
We might need some app to make the dpi change persistent on reboot.
Hmm. Smallest width in developer options only changes the width dp of the phone. Anyone tried using adb to change DPI settings? Will try it in a while. Im using KangVIP rom which had the option to change DPI and sure enough, it scaled the contents of the notification bar. Will try it on stock to see if magic happens. Wish me luck!
The setting stick with a reboot on my phone, you need to leave developer mode switch on otherwise it won't stick, I know you can change the smallest width without them turned on but it doesn't stick.
Still doesn't change the notification drop down still huge any fix this wasn't the case on the mate 9 the system ui tuner changed all aspects so annoying
