DPI System Crash Loop - Verizon LG V10

I switched my DPI and like an idiot I didn't make a backup in titanium backup like I should have. I don't have ADB set up but USB debugging is ON and I have LGUP and LG Bridge installed . What should I do to even reflash the phone with stock?

I ended up having to re-root it with the TOT in upgrade mode, which over-wrote everything. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to flash single files, and I could never figure out how to remount /system as RW, to edit build.prop by hand and push a fixed copy

Anyone found a way to safely edit the DPI yet?

There's a T-Mobile thread about this. For starters you can edit freely but unfortunately systemui and the second screen (can't recall app name) will have to remain stock. There is an app that does this for you, unfortunately can't recall the name either but take a look in other V10 sections.

I know about Xposed's "per app hacking" app, but Xposed still isn't working with the VZW V10, last I knew?

Found a working res/dpi, without using Xposed's 'per app hacking'. (I thought Xposed wouldn't run on this!)
'Resolution changer' from the market, set to [email protected]; works fantastic with everything!
With one tiny problem... the touchscreen is much less responsive, and the right edge becomes almost nonresponsive totally unless I do a sort of slide-tap when I tap something.
Anyone know how to resize the digitizer grid and/or edit the sensltivity? :/

Email apk *to replace the system APK *Stock gingerbread

I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more *****ing about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.
How to install:
Download here
Push to SDcard
Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.
change permissions to:
Code:
Read, Write
Read
Read
^ Just like that.
then reboot
and
Enjoy
Don't forget: Backup your stock email apk, just in case.
Does this replace the B&N app when using their launcher too? I'm getting very upset with it constantly re-downloading all of my email...
You need to reboot for it to take effect btw
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
I'm having an issue getting this to work. Do you have to push the apk to the sdcard, or can you copy/paste it?
Issues here as well. The app isn't showing up in the list. Reverting for now
I already said you need to reboot for it to show.
Rebooted twice. It would show up as Email or Mail, right? Followed all the instructions, permissions, etc.

I did so. I made sure that I followed your instructions. I'm having similar issues with changing out the keyboard, though that may be more related to the apk I downloaded.
Did you guys put it into system/app?
Yep. I used adb because i was already hooked up and working on stuff. Didn't look at logcat because i was working on a compile config.

Of course. After making the /system partition R/W with Root Explorer. Would have preferred to use my own r/w script for /system, but when I got rid of my Droid I think I deleted all of my Android editing/modifying files.

It worked just fine on my tablet and another persons tablet. Check completely through your app drawer for it it should be called "Email"
Got it up and going fairly effortlessly...
the mistake I was making?
I am using Go Launcher Ex...after reboot I looked at E and M for Email or Mail...well, it wasn't there (even though I was sorting alphabetically)
It turns out, it WAS there in my app drawer...it just went to the very last page of my app drawer and was listed after Widget Locker...obviously NOT in alphabetical order, haha
Maybe you guys were also having this problem?
Yep that was my issue as well. PEBKAC. Sorry for the mixup. Thanks for the app!

I found it exactly as described above.
My main issue was that I was initially trying to launch it using the stock nook home apps screen.

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with me. Go Launcher doesn't always seem to auto-sort correctly.
Not sure if that's an error or feature of Go Launcher but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Recently downloaded apps are placed at the end of the app draw. I like it cause I down load so many apps, I forget what I've downloaded.
Lately however, I've noticed that new apps appear in order with a little orange label in the upper right corner of the icon - I think it says new.
Awesome! Thanks, Indirect. This worked perfectly for me.
On a side note, this also fixed an issue with contacts. I was stuck with the abysmal stock contact list manager, because nothing else I installed would allow creation or editing of contacts. With the stock email app is in place, I can now use GO Contacts to create and edit contacts.
BTW: email addys open a new email, street addresses open in Google Maps, and phone numbers open chat in textPlus if you have these installed.
the download link is no longer work. Can you send me a new URL?
Thanks
Please ignore my last post. I found it at your other thread.
Thanks

Adjusting DPI on Galaxy S4

Has anyone successfully adjusted the DPI on the galaxy S4? Curious how to do it safely and what DPI setting works best.
yes! i was wondering the same thing. i figured i'd wait until ROMs come out before i raised the question though since some cooks will bake this into their ROMs.

answer - get root, build.prop editor, do 320. 240 is too low.

I'm still running touchwiz but am using nova launcher. I adjusted my DPI but all the touchwiz elements, like phone and calculator, are kinda wacked up, any way to fix that?
Oh, and chrome is a little off too, like the tab button.
Word of advice - NO MATTER what I did, changing the DPI on my S4 (and possibly all phones) always causes issues. I have spent the past week experimenting with trying to make it work right. If you change the overall phone DPI in the build.prop (I have tried 320, 420, 440, 460), you WILL trigger the Market issues with certain apps no longer showing up for you in a search- unless you type the name in the search but then select the actual item from the predictive box below (instead of actually searching). But, even after you are brought to the page, at the top you will still get the 'incompatible with your device' message and cannot download or update on the phone. Trying to do it on a desktop PC in the Store also does not work. So far, this happened to me with YouTube, Google Keyboard, and a few other Google or common apps.
I tried several methods of modding the market or different apps that have supposed options for spoofing what DPI the Play Store sees, but in the end, the issue always came back, every time eventually (may take a reboot or two). Clearing data on Google Framework and Play Store and clearing cache/Dalvik cache never is a permanent fix, it will always recognize it eventually.
Oh and also, there were always a few apps that would become wonky looking or cut off, like the stock Samsung camera and gallery apps, among others.
In the end, the only thing that worked is to leave the overall DPI alone, and just adjusting the DPI of certain apps individually using something like Hyperdrive Control in the Hyperdrive ROM or equivalent app (I ended up just changing the DPI of Nova Launcher and nothing else- at least the launcher/icons then can become smaller resolution).
If there IS a method that works and does not cause this issue in the Store eventually, please let me know! I tried em all!
To the above poster:
First off - calm down. Everything will be alright
Here's how to change the DPI without issue.
1. Edit build.prop to desired value. Do not reboot. (I like 400)
2. Download a multi DPI play store. (Google for an xda link. I use inverted multidpi)
3. Reboot to recovery and flash multidpi play store. Reboot.
2. Use any launcher except TouchwizHome
3. Install the xposed framework and per app DPI module.
4. Set all the Samsung apps to the stock 480 dpi
Easy.

Hey. There's a much easier way of you want to adjust specific apps
1) Download/install the Xposed framework
2) Download/install App Settings
From there, you can pick from the list of apps and change dpi to whatever you want. On the phone now so I don't have links but do a quick search. The App Settings for the AT&T S4 works for ours.

To people who do not know that changing DPI affects some Play Store apps like this.
And your method may work, but it's tedious to have to change every Samsung app's individual DPI afterward, and also you won't always get the latest Play Store update until the newest version is again manually modded for multi-DPI. But yes, doable.

Oh. I see what you meant. Just say "for those unaware" lol. The phrase "don't know any better" doesn't apply as you are referring to knowlege rather than behavior
And there's no "may" about it. It does work. It worked on my galaxy nexus, and it works on my S4.
And I've never had a problem getting the newest play store update. The thread I get them from is pretty on top of it.
Unfortunately manually setting the DPI for Samsung apps is the only way unless you want to hack apart the apk and deal with overall buggyness. Samsung is lazy and only cares to make the app work for one device... Unlike play store apps.
I really don't think the initial two minutes of my time to fix the 4 or 5 samsung apps that have issues is that big of a deal.

I used the tool too, but play store wont start.
What dpi setting you use for play store ? I tried 480 and 320.
Not sure if you have fixed this issue yet, but newer ROMs for the T-Mobile and AT&T S4 variants us ethe Exposed Framework. From there you can use a module called Play Store Fixes (follow directions). Manually change the DPI setting in the build.prop and reboot. Mine is set to 320 and I can see everything in the playstore.

Galaxy S4 4.4.2 stock phone DPI change
Hi everyone,
I have the Omega ROM v20 (4.4.2) installed on my galaxy s4 i9500. It came with the Xposed installer 2.5.1 and the App Settings 1.8. I have already installed the framework in the Xposed installer and selected the app settings under the modules and rebooted the device.
I have changed the phone's DPI to 320 form the original 480 by manually updating the build.prop file in /system. A few Samsung apps, including the touch wiz, the calculator and some others started acting up and pieces where out of place. I managed to fix all of that by migrating to the Apex launcher and also the extensive use of the DPI changing feature of the App Settings application.
The DPI changing utility seems to be working on every application, including the Google play app store, but not for the phone app. Even though the App Settings says that the 480 DPI has been applied to the phone application the dialer and its pieces once launched are still out of place. The phone application on the ROM is the stock samsung 4.4.2 i9500 phone app and I have tried it every which way but still no go!
I was wondering if another application's DPI also needs to be changed for it to work or maybe I have ran into an App Settings bug of some kind!
Any help would be most appreciated
Many thanks

INCREASE DPI - Phone App FC Fix..

I want to change the LCD Density to a higher value on my Galaxy because its all a bit too small for me.
I am using an app called Resolution Changer (and have tried a few other similar apps that do the same job and work fine) to set the the phone to a higher DPI and all becomes much more usable and looks bit bigger and better on screen. Everything works perfectly smoothly except the Samsung Phone/Contacts/Messaging & Camera apps that instantly FC. The Messaging and Camera apps don't matter because I simply use a 3rd party app and the problem gets easily solved. However the Phone/Contacts app is a real problem because the phone becomes useless as "phone".. and using a 3rd party dialer doesn't fix the problem because these add-on dialers still need the native phone app to actually make/receive a call (basically Android 3rd party dialers are actually just a skin on top of the native phone app).
I have been reading that the Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 leak allows for working at higher DPI without any problems or crashes.
Could someone verify this information and if possible, post a download link of the S3 Phone/Contacts app from 4.2 so I can try? I have no idea where to get the correct Phone/Contacts apk
Thanks very much in advance for any feedback or and help in getting the correct file/s.

You can't simply use the apk from 4.2. You'd need the whole rom.
Another suggestion... maybe mention "increase dpi, phone app fc" in title as I think there maybe some modified versions that people may know about?

What I mean is if you're on 4.1.2, the 4.2 apk probably wont work, so you will need to be on the right ROM.. Also you need root if you just want the apks, they're not installable. Probably will work across all 4.2 samsung devices, but not 4.1.2 devices.

Correct. I am already on 4.2 ROMs on my devices and they are all rooted. And certainly the Phone/Contacts apps are not installable. I will just push them directly into the system/app directory and overwrite the current ones. After wipping all of their data & caches & clearing settings on some dependencies plus a reboot, I am hoping it will work. And all is backed, so the risk and liability are zero.. whatever doesn't work or renders any experiment into a failure, is just a CWM Recovery away
So all I need now is a 4.2 ROM Phone/Contacts apks from the S3 and see where that leads me to:highfive:

Download something like Omega or Wanam lite in "Android development". Wanam lite, smaller so quicker to rip the apk's out of. Both deodexed.

MultiWindow

Hello, Does anyone know how to manage the apps in multiwindow. I would like to get rid of some of the stock apps in there with some apps that Ive dwnladed from the play store. I am rooted, and running a custom recovery with ZV6 rom.
Thanks
Also, have another quick question that doesn't really pertain to multiwindow but I hate to start a new thread for just one question. Is our G3 capable of using the new wifi frequency? I believe its the 802.11ac I googled this but have not been able to find the answer.
Also, I checked enable voice recorder in I believe in G3 tweaksbox but when I make a voice recording and try to play it back, it keeps saying unsupported file type. What do I use to listen to my recording?

For you wifi and voice recording question, I dont know about that. But as far as multiwindow apps, I you want it to show ALL of your apps instead of just the stock ones...you have to go to build.prop and its a line that says "persist.splitwindow.support_all" and change it from false to true. That way you'll get all of your apps to show, I dont know about it NOT showing certain ones, but at least that way you'll get more than just your stock apps in split window.

Always-On Display enabled but not working?

I've enabled AOD and for whatever reason, it's not working. I've messed with all the settings in the section, and nothing seems to make a difference.
I did go through and disable a lot of the bloatware on the phone (per this post, though I was selective about what I disabled), and it would make sense to me that something I disabled would be the culprit, but I would expect the AOD options to not even show up in Settings if I had disabled that service.
Any ideas?

And no, menu options won't magically disappear just because you cripple stuff that makes them work...
Many things are connected to each other. So, you'll either get lag (while the software tries to find something that's missing) or stuff just won't work.

Yes, ideas from that very thread. You disabled LG Setup Wizard with ADB, didn't you?
A simple search of that thread found this:

It sometimes depends on how you froze it. Read the post I quoted.

Thanks, didn't catch that. I can confirm I did disable com.android.LGSetupWizard, but not sure how to go about re-installing it. Any tips? I used pm uninstall -k from a shell to remove it.

So can anyone help me sort out how to get the com.android.LGSetupWizard library reinstalled to fix this?
I used 'pm uninstall -k' to remove it.
Yes, do what I did and hard reset your phone. It'll all restore to stock condition.
BTW for anyone else reading, just "disabling" LG Setup Wizard does not have the same effect as removing using ADB commands -- in other words, Always On Display will continue to work. Once you "uninstall" and reboot, that function ceases to work.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, and looking to find the package installer itself to reinstall, but I guess a reset is the easiest route.
