[Q] How do you Perm Change LCD Density on Gtab? - G Tablet General

I want to know how to change the Lcd Density from 160 to 140. Im using Zpad clean rom. I Went to System/Build.prop and I didnt see the Ro.density text or what ever it is. LCD Density for root works but it resets after restart. Anyone know how?

Figured it out. In system/Build.prop using Root Explorer I just made my own line and put ro.sf.lcd_density=140 and then saved and rebooted the tablet. Seems to have worked. If somone decides to change density like this dont forget to make a backup just in case.
EDIT: EHHH. Slide down bar was buggy and pissed me off and some apps wher windowed a bit so i gave in and just bought LCD Density changer from Market for a buck and use that. Works great.

works well for me by changing the system/build.prop to 140.

Changed to 140 also and it makes some apps not fill screen but not a big hitter actually see more on screen with browsers and other apps. Especially with apps like settings and ROM Manager, etc....
Also went down and trying currently at 130. Here are screen shots of what it is like at default and 130. I kind of like seeing more of the screen.
Here are the setting I used in the build.prop file
ro.sf.lcd_density=130
Running Vegan 5.1 here are screenshots before and after
Screenshots below default and 130 settings:

Yeh lcd density app same as just changing it in build.prop. Slide down bar not full screen anymore when set too 140 on zpad clean rom. Wonder why.. Hmmm... worked b4 so now no point in the app except faster changes. Oh well.

Have you checked Spare Parts app to see if you have "Compatibility Mode" checked or unchecked?
I believe Unchecked should open things back to full screen.

I unchecked compatibility it at 130 and 140. No effect to Android notifications.

[Tweaks] some build.prop tweaks

been playing around with build.prop tweaks today. here's some that i have had good results with:
setting dalvik to 64
yes, that's high, but, switching screens on the homescreen has been a lot smother. you may have some issues with smaller apps, if so, try a lower setting. stock is 42, 48 may work good if you have a lot of smaller apps.
i also added these, so far so good, no problems. these are older tweaks, but they seem to be working here, but it's hard to tell
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
locks home in memory
Code:
ro.media.enc.JPEG.quality=100
makes pics display at 100% quality
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
enables hardware rendering of UI and home
take caution when editing build.prop. the file is located /system
do not delete or change anything else if you don't know what you're really doing.
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Disables the boot animations

Do you know if that works with 3rd party launchers (i.e. is HOME_APP whatever is linked to the home button, not hard coded to the moto home app)?
Wow, nice work guys. Quick question, does disabling the boot animation = faster boot time.

Not sure. You will still have the android boot animation. You just won't have the AT&T boot animation

I tried using the these settings and it bricked my phone. Just FYI for anyone thinking of trying them out.
I think it has to do with the hardware rendering setting, because when I boot the video is very distorted and slow. It then goes black and vibrates every few seconds and I can't get it back. Restore to factory default was no help at all.
Any thoughts on how I might get this thing running again?
here's the stock build.prop
if the device will power on, extract it from this zip and try to adb push it to /system
not sure how these settings would brick your phone though. are you sure you added them to build.prop and not default.prop? did you change anything else in build.prop?
Yeah, I only added the options listed in the forum post, and didn't change anything else.
The first thing I tried was shelling into the phone using adb, but it didn't work at all in the state the phone was in. After restoring to factory defaults I was able to boot and get the initial setup screen for the phone where it asks you to add your email accounts, etc., but when clicking "done" the app would crash and restart effectively locking me out of the phone.
I'm assuming the crash is because I de-bloated the phone previously, and maybe it's missing a system library? Who knows.
In any case it looks like I may be taking a trip to the AT&T store

Thats odd. A factory restore would have overwritten any changed files and added any missing apks from /system

Did you use a text editor on the phone or on a computer? If you use one that word wraps it will fubar the whole thing.
Here's a list of build.prop tweaks I found searching around, I haven't tried any myself yet, but hey, the more the merrier, right?

i used an on the phone editor. windows editors will wreck it, linux editors are fine with build.prop though. not sure what the member who bricked his phone used.
I just tested the boot animation setting with a stopwatch and it's pretty much the same time one way or the other.

I did in fact use my phone to edit the build.props file (instead of using adb shell). I used the text editor feature of root explorer. I didn't notice the text wrap on the screen or anything like that when I was typing. I suppose that could've been the culprit.

root explorer is fine, that wasn't your problem. i use root explorer as well. i think that either something else was changed, or something else is the problem.

With this setting does it change the display of your contact photos? Which show pretty crappy on the call screen.

That's one thing I hope can be modded once the bootloader gets unlocked. My X10 showed the contact pics the top 1/3rd of the screen and the quality was very good, would be nice to see something similar on this phone.

Same here, it just doesn't show the animation, but takes the same amount of boot time.

Asus tf 101 dead pixel and isuues

Hi Igot 3 diffrents tablets, and in the first one I have a 2 dead black pixels one next to the other like a little very little black spot. I tried all soft where but nothing work, is there anythinhg I can do?? And in my second tablet is something like the resulotion of the screen is not sharp, like is 800 on 600 or something and not 1280 on 720, is there anyway to fix it??? The 3rd ta let has no issues at all thank u
Nothing you can probably do about the first one. Black pixels = dead pixels. Software can only affect stuck or "lazy" pixels, and even then it won't necessarily fix anything. On the second one, go to Settings>Accessibility and make sure that the option "Large text" is unchecked. Or go to Settings>Display and set the "Font size" to Normal (these two options affect the same setting, that is, choosing "Huge" as the font size will turn on the "Large text").
On the second thought, you might have to change your DPI settings. (You will need root) Download and open ES File Explorer, open "Tools" and turn on the "Root Explorer", then go to /system and open build.prop with ES Note Editor. Find a line "ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX". Set it to 160 if there's any other value in place of XXX. Make sure the changes are saved and reboot your tablet. It should be back to normal afterwards

mediapad t5 dpi settings

Hi,
i´m a little confused. I tried to change the dpi settings on my new mediapad t5 under system -> developer options -> smallest width to 800 (and i tried 700,that was changed to 702) but when i reboot it is resetted to 566.
I also tried to chage it with the tool "minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable" and used the command adb shell wm density 800 && adb reboot the device does a reboot but the value is not changed. i dont want to root the device right now. how can i change the dpi without rooting, what did i wrong?
That's "normal" I can't keep it when I reboot too.
for my end I'm ok rooting but I didn't found a way to make it stay after a reboot.
I'm really waiting for custom rom... Really good tablet but not-so-good EMUI8...
is it possible to have a start script that will set the dpi to 700 on every boot? does someone know how to implement a startscript without root?
Also trying to achieve this now. But get the same problem.
It's set to normall again after rebooting.
From the other side, USB debugging is also not holding it's settings. So don't know if it's related to each other somehow.
I also noticed that the left side icons in the settings menu dissapear when changing dpi setting above 640?
So far rebooting is the only way to get them back (resetting dpi) for me.
Annyone found a sollution already for this? Or can someone confirm rooting will help (keeping the stock ROM)?
I am also looking for solution but no clue !
The only solution is Polished Custom Rom and it's not available yet!
I am using this tab for Netflix and Prime only. So, right now I am happy with EMUI 8.

Hey guys, this has already been asked in this forum somewhere.. I've changed my dpi to a usable setting although I'm not sure what it's actually set to!
Use Quickshortcutmaker, grab it from play store. You can create a home screen icon to open vision settings. Open the settings and set everything to small.
I've done this and it persists through a reboot. I can't tell you if it's 700 but it's way better than the insane huge stock settings

Apps interaction

Some apps don't show enough screen to access all the interaction buttons. You can't scroll to get to those buttons. This happens with several Topo Map apps.
They are not compatible with the HU screen resolution (DPI setting). You could change the DPI on the HU but that will mess up the display for everything else.

Thanks, Nick. I will try anything. How do I change the DPI on the HU, please?
Should be under display in the Android settings menu.

If you're rooted, you can use easy dpi changer app from the play store to set a custom dpi. That's what I do
So you don't see anything to do with display density? This is annoying maybe they found a way to keep people from messing up their display or it could be under the factory settings.
I tried factory settings months ago. No luck.
I would try rooting but I'm afraid of bricking as I'm not very tech.
Is there a foolproof way to do it?

Question Alternative EQ application for joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200

Hi,
I just bought a joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200 head unit. I am not sure what type this unit is, is it a TS10?
The problem is that in third party applications everything is very small, small fonts, small details. This applies to apps like tidal, google maps, chrome etc. It is basically impossible to use these apps comfortably.
There is no "font size" or "display size" option in the device settings.
I solved the problem by changing the "smallest width" setting in the developer options from 1200 to 700. The apps look good now. the built-in apps also look good, except for the EQ app and the built-in launcher.
The launcher is not displayed at all, however, this problem can be easily solved by installing another launcher such as car web guru, which works great.
The real problem is with the EQ application which does not scale well. Some controls are out of screen, others are displayed incorrectly.
Is there an alternative application that supports dsp functions (dsp version of this device is dsp55) and will be displayed correctly?
Maybe someone has another way to solve the problem I described.
Marek.
I've done the same change on my 11.6 version. Did you do a full system reboot after changing the dpi setting? I had the same issue until I did a full reboot, then the system apps changed to the appropriate dpi scaling. You may want to change the dpi in small increments as well until everything looks correct.

What do you mean by 'full reboot"? All other system aps scale well, only eq app doesn't.
Just the Reboot from the top drop down menu. I guess I had not noticed if the EQ app was significantly larger in scale after the dpi change.
You missed the FYT forum listing your device....

I think I did it before, but to be sure I did a reboot today few times. It didn't help.
This happened on my 10 inch joying (airmont sc9853i). I hated it so much. Here's what I did. Should work for you.
Enable ADB by.... (or using Termux app)
- going to settings > system > developer options > 3368 > confirm
- at the top of the screen on right, tap three dots overflow menu icon > USB computer connection > pick the 2nd one (usually the one not selected on restarts)
- under where it says developer option, inline where it says "On", make sure that toggle switch is "ON"
- scroll down to, USB debugging, enable
Find the OTG port on the back of your unit. plug in a laptop with adb installed properly so you can 'adb shell'
From that shell, type enter the command 'wm' to being up its help.
what you are looking for is the correct "wm overscan [LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]"
"wm overscan 10,0,0,0" worked great for me
dont worry about any white bars, they will go away after the screen redraws (switch apps or something)
I never adjusted any fonts or dpi in the system

Thank you. And what about smallest width setting? Should it go back to 1200 as it was originally?

Yea. See if it makes any weird apps better. If not, leave it.
It turned out that the overscan setting didn't solve my problem, however Your answer pointed me in right direction. Thank you.
What was that right direction, post what you learnt so others may prosper
I mean that I started to experiment with adb and wm command, which I was not aware of before. Then I had the idea that I will use tasker to change DPI each time the eq app started and change it back on the exit. But this didn't work. Tasker can not change DPI in my case. I get error 1 message. So when I want to use this app I manually change DPI. The truth is I don't mess much with those settings once I've sett it to my liking....

Hi may I know what do you changed to ? I
I believe I set it to 720p (1280x720), common resolutions seem to work the best. I've since exchanged this unit for the new 11.6 slim so I can't say for sure.
