I made a remix OS USB key and a partition on a tablet
I tested USB key on macbook retina and everything is too small, same on tablet
any way to resize screen? o change screen resolution?
I was also wondering if when remix os will release an upgrade i will need to start over and lose all my configurations?
When you are choosing beetween resident and guest mode, press tab with the wanted mode selected. At the end of the line that appears, add DPI=(desired dpi) and UVESA_MODE=(your resolution). You can change the DPI around until you are comfortable.

You should press tab button at the beginning ( Guest Mode or Resident Mode selection). After pressing tab, you should add DPI=150 and uvesa_mode=1366x768 at the end of linux line. ( Of course you should try again and again which DPI you feel comfortable)

This apk is a slight mod on jerryfan2000's Button Saviour app (similar to softkeys). . . the only difference I made on his app is that the ever-present overlay icon (that you press to bring up the soft keys) is invisible.
So if you learn where it is on the screen, just touch there to bring up the keys--and you won't have to have an always-present arrow overlay sitting on your screen. It gives you the option to set it to launch on a long-press, in case you find yourself accidentally launching it.
If you have trouble finding it the first time (after all, it is invisible), just switch to the Sense theme, then back to default...
If you have trouble finding it on a regular basis ( harder than you might think) and your LCD density is set to 250 like mine, here's a setting that will make it easier:
1. Set it to come up on the right side (default)
2. Set "icon position" to 0
... This will give you an easy landmark to help you find the invisible launcher icon: the bottom of the volume down button on your nook. Look for that, then touch the edge of the screen next to it to launch button saviour.
If anyone has found useful landmarks for screens with LCD densities other than 250, please post and I'll update.
If you want to check this out, you'll have to uninstall Button Saviour (if you already have it) for it to successfully install.
If the button menu looks tiny, you might want to get the Spare Parts app and check the box for Compatibility Mode (then reboot). This should increase the size.
If you like it, please thank jerryfan2000 (his thread here), as the app is his creation--my contribution in making this mod was an idea and two blank png images.
Is this file the same one as the site in your sig? I'm assuming thats your site b/c it has all of the info from your thread over in General.
But so you know if you change the Theme to Sense you can get the position of the button without having to play with the numbers.
Also on 0 it wasn't on the bottom of the Volume Down button. I'm gonna guess this is b/c your LCD density is 250 and mine is default but just FYI.

Good point on the LCD density - I'll edit.
Yeah, same file as the one on the site.
I am using this now after switching many times. The visible button on Button Savior drove me nuts. The Softkeys button could be made transparent but it kept floating around so I never knew exactly where it was. But I got this one finally to my liking. I left it in the center on the right side. Easy to find in landscape mode because it is next to the hard home button. For portrait mode I put a very tiny piece of black tape next to the edge of the screen. This allows me to feel exactly where the button is. Works perfectly for me now. Thanks.
*settings are at 260 for the slider, LCD Density is set to 204. I used the Sense Theme of Button Saviour Mod to get the numbers to visually line up with the hard home button in landscape mode and to apply the black tape in portrait mode.
Would it be possible to somehow map the hard home button to the "invisible" app to make the menu appear?
I love Button Savior 5, but it would be great if it appears when the hard home key is pressed. Even better if I could set it to bottom center of the screen in portrait!

I don't think u can map Button Savior that way. You can mount Softkeys that way. Leave the Invisible button Savior installed. Also install Softkeys. Set Softkeys as your home launcher. In the Softkeys settings set the home launcher of your choice and set Softkeys to one home tap and your home launcher to double tap. You will also probabily want to "kill" the Soft keys floating button if u are running Button Savior along with it.
The only problem I can think of with that configuration is that when u hit the Button Savior Home button all u will be doing is opening up the Softkeys buttons unless u double tap it. U may want to set the Softkeys button to a double tap and your chosen launcher to a single tap to avoid that redundancy.
How to set trigger button to bottom center of the screen
Can I set the trigger at the bottom center not on left nor right side?
Thanks a lot!
HI...i am brand new to the forum...got my Gtablet the other day....upgraded firmware...so far without installing another Rom....i like the device...I am just checking to see if the 4 buttons on the right side..IE....SEARCH HOME MENU and BACK....should ALWAYS respond...OR if each only will respond depending on what is currently on yr screen....The HOME button ALWAYS seems to bring me to the home screen...the other 3 seem to respond ( or not ) depending on what is screen at the time....they device seems to work fine and the 4 buttons do respond do respond depending on what is on the screen at the time so i am assuming that the buttons physically so work ok.....id appreciate anyone's input....thanks a lot.....
From the user manual (http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/GTUG010411/G Tablet User Guide Rev Final 01.04.11.htm#_Toc281858063)
Home and Menu do different things depending upon what is running at the time:
IMPORTANT BUTTONS
On the right side of the LCD Screen there are 4 buttons.
1. SEARCH – Pressing the search button from the Home screen will bring up the Google search web site.
2. HOME – Pressing the Home button takes you back to either the Home screen or the Dashboard depending on which screen you were last in.
3. MENU – Pressing the menu button brings up different options based on the application running at the time.
4. BACK – Pressing the back button will always take you back to the previous window displayed.

so then depending on what is on the screen....is it likely that the ...say ...BACK or MENU button would not do anything...depending on what is on the screen at the time.....do others find that? Just making sure the unit doesnt have a defect...Thx

I have definitely seen this with the menu button.. can you give us an example of an app your are in where it is not working? someone can double-check on their tab...
I'm thinking BACK should always work. Are you having a consistent problem with it not working? Could it be sluggishness of the tablet?
Thanks for the replies gang....i just talked to Viewsonic and they indeed said that depending on what u have on yr screen at the time, certain buttons may not cause the screen to change.....such as if i am on my Classic home page and hit the HOME or MENU button....nothing will happen....if i hit the SEARCH button...it will change screens....and then...after going to the search page if i hit the BACK button.,....it will return to the CLASSIC HOME PAGE.......that all makes sense?
Kinda... need moar coffee first ....
Does anyone know how to assign the default home-screen on touchwiz? Out the box it always had the dots for the screens but it always moved to the center screen when I pressed home.
When I restored the TW settings to another ROM it ended up with numbered dots instead of solid dots. And now whenever I pressed home while on the home-screen it always moves to the last page.
Is there any obvious setting anywhere it dictates which home-screen page is the main one?
Pinch on any home screen to see all. Menu... Set as Home. Tap the screen you want. Tap Done.

I must be not pressing the right combination of buttons. Can you explain it again?
I feel like a 5 year old
When you pinch a home screen (thumb and index finger swiped toward each other) , it should show all your homescreens. Then press the menu capacitive button. Only option is to Set as Home. Then just tap on the image of the homescreen you want as the main one.

Hmm, when I have all the pages showing I press menu but no options shows up. I vaguely remember this when I picked up the phone stock. I wonder if it has anything to do with the SAUROM.

If you having problems 'pinching' the home screen, you can also hit menu, edit to get to the same view, then hit menu to set home...

I am on Saurom too and I too am not able to set the homescreen. I know I was able to on the stock rom by tapping menu when there was a preview scree but it now no longer works.
if I set on the device autorate ON + allow home to rotate ON, I can enter desktop mode and It runs as should
if I set on my device autorate ON + allow home to rotate OFF, desktop mode is broken (lock display & unlock solves, but...)
can you confirm this?

How you set the 'allow home to rotate'?
Long press on an empty portion of the display (as if you want to add a widget), settings (last button on the right), you there

Just tried with auto rotate + home screen rotate off.
Indeed makes the desktop mode problematic.
Can't exit desktop mode due to touch alignment problem...

I mailed huawei with the details...who knows
Well, they told me to reset my device. LOL
BTW, how can I send a big report?
Anyone know how to make the button presses that you map on your kunai not show? I layout the buttons and make that invisible, but when I hit the button it flashes the button press on screen. I'd like to make it so I don't see my button presses for a full screen experience without crazy button flashes.
I just uncheck the display hotkeys configuration option.
I have a picture but it won't let me upload it.

Yea but when you hit the button it shows up on the screen. That's what I'm talking about. I hate the button flashing and analog stick showing up while playing fullscreens.
