Any possibility to make notifications font larger?
I am old enough to not be able to read those super tiny letters, making notifications so useless and frustrating to me.
Any help will do. Thanks!!

Which device?
Amazfit Stratos.
Try SetFont app, it may help. If not, try this command using adb (bigger value = bigger things on screen, default is 238):
adb shell wm density 258
It will remain until watch is restarted or you use:
adb shell wm density reset
Be aware that it may break some layouts...

that should be an easy one with tasker, executing 'wm density xxx' whenever call comes in
(xxx stands for numeric dpi value)
and exit with 'wm density 360' when call ends

Thank you for give me an idea but can you show me detail about the procedure to set that with tasker ?, I got the app but I don't know how to make a task as you said

On profile add App, select Phone, new task (name it), add shell, enter command 'wm density 424' (without quotes), add exit task (name it), add shell, enter command 'wm density 360'
Not exactly, but you'll figure it out.
Give feedback :good:

you may execute the script as root user.
Other than this I have no idea.
I've already execute the shell with root user, but I think the problem here is "Phone" app is incorrect, it must be another app, but anyway, thanks for your help
Not exactly what you want, but if you use 320dpi instead all apps works fine and adapt perfectly to the screen size.
Maybe try it and see if you like how it looks.
On profile add Status, select Calls (both incoming and outgoing), new task (name it), add shell, enter command 'wm density 424' (without quotes), add exit task (name it), add shell, enter command 'wm density 360'
Thanks to both of you, I decided come back to stock dpi and set specific app I want to 320dpi, that makes me breath easily
I am late to the Dell Venue 8 7840 party as I just bought mine three days ago. What a beautiful tablet and absolutely gorgeous display. However, I think that the text is just a little too small for my likings so I wanted to do something about it. Well, you first have to root your device which is kind of a nightmare if you ask me (after updating to Lollipop 5.1).
My first attempt at changing the resolution was through editing the build.prop and adding a value of "ro.sf.lcd_density=360" since the default density is 320. Anyways, every time you reboot it just is completely ignored.
I take no blame for anything that goes wrong with this.
So here's how you change the DPI:
1) Get root by following this most recent root tutorial. You will need to install "Busy-Box" as mentioned in that tutorial.
2) Install a terminal emulator such as "Terminal Emulator" or "Termux" from the Play Store
3) Start the terminal program
4) Type "su" and press enter. NOTE: You will need to grant your terminal emulator root access after you press enter.
5) Type "wm density" and press enter. You will see the default density of "320".
6) Type "wm density xxx" where xxx is the density you want to switch to such as 360. Basically anything above 320 is larger, anything below 320 is smaller.
Once you type the command such as "wm density 360" it instantly applies it. It also survives a reboot so please be careful to type the command exactly as it is supposed to be typed and do not use too small or too large of a change. If you change the density to 390 and utilize Google Now you will see that it changes format from a dual column to a single column. I prefer this look and feel plus tabs in Chrome are more normal sized to myself. Some DPI's cause text to shift off the sides of the display so it's just a matter of trying to increment or decrement by one until you reach the sweet spot.
If you want to reset it back to normal you can simply type "wm density reset".
Good luck and hopefully this helps someone.
Awesome. Looks a tad bigger but still sharp. So that's a plus.
Quick question. Do you know how to swap the menu and back soft keys? I tried switching with the..kl files and no luck.

I haven't looked into this myself and couldn't be of any help. I'm use to the positioning and never tried to swap them on my own.
With other high-res tablets such as the Samsung Tab Pro it is much easier to do this with one of the many apps available on the Play Store. However Texdroider and some of the others do not work; the change is not applied on reboots. By trial and error I stumbled upon Easy DPI changer, which works perfectly. It is probably applying the same change "automatically" that the op applied manually.
Hi folks,
after long searchs, compares, thoughts and headaches, my decision went for a brand new Xperia Z5c. It is my first ever just-touch phone.
I am on Android 6.0 Marshmallow now.
I guess most of you have gained some experience already, so I would be glad if someone could give me some advices on my issues:
1. I would like to have more grids on home screen, smaller icons, spaces and texts, as well as applied to all apps. Just would like to "increase" the "resolution". that "small" from settings is not small enough for me. I can reduce the icon sizes by using the Holo launcher though, but still the apps are in big sizes, like calendary, emails, status bar, settings etc.
2. I was told by the seller that I should better avoid using the quick charger, but he seemed for me like not sure. If sony offers that, why should it be bad? Is that true?
3. When I start the radio it does not end, even I try to close it through the right app button (where all the running apps are listed), it closes there but still runs in background. when I put off the ear plugs, and plug it in again, it still continues with radio. Only restarting the phone helps. What can I do that I can run it normally and close whenever I want? Or what could be the reason for that problem?
4. What simple music player can you suggest for me?
5. is it possible to record a video with HD (ready) instead of FullHD with 60Hz ? How?
Thank you in advance!
1. You can try change the dpi. If adb is installed on your computer, then connect phone to pc. Make sure USB debugging is turned on in Developer Options. Open a command window in the adb folder, and type "adb devices". If you see a device listed, you are good to go.
Then type adb shell
Then type wm density 260 or any value less than 320 (which is the default dpi). The lower, the smaller everything becomes. Then restart. You can always revert back to 320 dpi through the same process.
2. Use the quick charger
3. There is a switch off button in radio and that must be used
4. Phonograph
5. Swipe up in camera till you get to "Video". Then tap the gear icon at the bottom right. Select any resolution you want

Sadman Khan! Thank you ALOT for the help, and quick and direct reply!
For these 2 points:
1. dpi is ok now, worked like a charm, icons and texts on apps got smaller as I wished. so simple! Since I can not set grid size and reduce the spaces between the icons with Xperia Launcher, is it ok that I am using Holo Launcher (which is probably old? I am careful in installing apps to avoid high memory usages and slow down) just because of that? (I admittedly do not know other way, and I don't know whether it is normal. just pity that the weather widget is not so beautiful anymore, but is still ok.)
5. I didn't write correct, excuses. I mean: I can use 60 frames per second only on FullHD, I wished I could use for normal HD also 60. On the camera app it is just for FullHD available. What app can you suggest me to make use of it on a one lower resolution if there is no way with the current app? (I prefer more frames to resolution, in order to save a bit from file sizes.)
This is my biggest gripe on Android, it almost pushes me over the edge at times. :silly: Pardon me, as this is my first Samsung device in more than a year, I just got rid of my Pixel 3 XL due to my dislike for the screen not recognizing gestures as good as Samsung.
I've tried ADB with the command prompt adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0, which is what I used on my S8+ and even my P3XL, both successfully. It didn't work on my S10+. I also successfully installed SystemUI Tuner, followed the complete instructions and all of the ADB commands for that. The toggle appeared, didn't work.
This is the last thing I need to resolve to be comfortable in my new device besides the stupid GMail syncing notification. Any advice is much appreciated! :good:
Figured it out, I'm an idiot. I didn't see an option to delete the thread.....
Bro were u able to turn off the headsup notifications as i tried both of them the adb method and system tuner but neither works for me.

Its easy, you can choose it in the notification settings, you can choose for each app, choose only 'sound' if you don't want the heads up notifications.
This is new in UI 2.1 as before we had to disable with the adb method.
Cool!
hello guys, I love using the gesture navigation but when I watch netflix or play games horizontally, I still see a long black bar across the bottom of the screen and I seriously wish I can get rid of it! its so annoying cuz its bad enough the screen is narrow enough with this bar it makes the screen look sooo tall and narrow like an alien and it lowers resolution of the game... can any one suggest anything?
I use a third party gesture app and use the command to hide mine.
For example:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-130
The last number is what you want to change.
To return to normal type without quotations: "adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0"
Not a perfect solution as it won't work with the stock gestures.
