May 4th, Resized Calculator,Mms, Email and Contacts for density

Hey guys,
After realizing how fantastic the tab is after switching to 182 dpi I figured I'd fix up some of the apps to fit better.
Thanks to Xan from this thread for the quick tool and batch script to make the changes.
These apks are from Overcome 1.6.3 and should work on other dpi settings as well.
Instructions, push the new files to /system/app after mounting the system rw, or using root explorer..
*Edit May 4th* I've attached an updated Email.apk as well
Disclaimer:The Standard disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if this causes boot loops, any other issues with your Tab, or giant meteors to crash into your car.Backup the files you are replacing first.

So u did rename framework-res to 1.apk and twframwork to 2.apk.. decompiling phone & contacts worked for me. Give me a howl if it didn't work and ill zip up mine and send it..
oh im editing overcome145 - not tested 163
just a friendly tip, might be a idea to use frameworks from a stock 2.2.1 rom instead from a moddified rom, might be a glitch there..

yup, sure did.
*edit* think I've got it now, I compiled the new apktool and started fresh..

Can you post screen shots

I tried, but ddms doesn't capture them correctly. The change makes the apps pretty much look exactly like they do at 240dpi.

can you change the email app too please? when i go into the landscape 2 pane mode, the left pane doesnot appear correctly.
thanks

Yeah for sure. Ill have a look and fix it tomorrow..

Thanks.
Noticed that the statusbar disappears in the email app, when i go into landscape.
How about modifying the camera app?
I didnt find the stock launcher too bad. Had to switch it though, after i changed density. Is that modifyable too?
Would be nice.

Email fc I'm on overcome 1.4.7 hope this helps

Mr. mssmison is only adjusting for overcome16x, mixing 2.2 with 2.2.1 will probably give errors..

Phone might be a tough one, any time I adjust the xml's at all it just crashes out the phone app when you end a call, thereby restarting the modem.. Best temp fix I can think of is to adjust the png for the end call button to be transparent on the right hand side.
I'll keep plugging away at it though.

Noticed it too, tested just changing background to black, and it would behave the same, fc on inn or out going.??

[APP] PerApp -- change a few per-app settings

Official release is in Google Play.
PerApp is a simple open source app that lets you set a few settings for individual apps. Specifically as of 1.03:
- orientation
- volume boost (Android 2.3+)
- screen timeout time
- CPU speed [root]
- font size
- input method [root]
I have a pre-release version here, with source code in the repository.
I wrote it because there is one app that I wanted to be able to lock the screen orientation for. I knew there is an app in the Market that does that, but I didn't like a recent review of it, so I wrote my own.
I am sure Tasker does all of this and more, but I prefer to use a simple, small and cheap app.
Only the CPU settings use root.

I posted 0.03 which should work better with the never show notification icon option.

Nice this is exactly what i searched changing the volume of one app.
i dowloadet the version PerApp003.apk start the program and after aktivating it and caling the programm again, my screen rests black and i get after +- 10sec the message: Unfortunately, PerApp has stopped.
any posibility to find a error log that can help to find the problem ?

Yeah, install Android Log Collector, run Per App, and right after the crash go to Log Collector and email me (arpruss at gmail dot com) your log. I have yet to see private stuff in a log, but if you're really careful you can email the log to yourself first, look through it, and then forward it to me.

ok its done, hope you can find the problem
EDIT: Works great now on gs2 4.0.3 big thx to arpruss

ICS problem fixed, confirmed with user.
I recommend everyone switch to 0.04 as it does stuff The Right Way.

I posted 0.06 which improves an audio boost issue.

I just added:
- CPU min/max speed changing on a per app basis (needs root); you need to go to Menu | Settings to activate it, though.
- Jelly Bean support (needs root, as in JB one doesn't get the READ_LOGS permission without root; on ICS and below root is not needed).

Just put out 0.08, fixing bug in CPU speed adjust.

Can you add per-app GPS setting?

Great idea!

I made some UI improvements in 0.09. Now in the apps list it shows some info about how apps were customized. Moreover, if you edit defaults, you get an option to reset all apps to default in respect of one of the settings.

Great work!
I suggest separating apps that had their settings changed from the ones with the default settings or puting them on top for easy access...
A change log in the OP would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!

color me impressed. I've been using tasker to do such things but I'd like it in a seperate app, especially if I can export those settings later (apply them to other phones maybe?)

It would be very usefull if you can set DPI perapp.
Thx.

But not all everyone likes CyanogenMod based roms

Does the volume boost work the other way around and can you use it on system apps? I'd really like to lower the volume of incoming facebook messages and the camera shutter since it doesn't seem to be affected by changing any sounds except for silent mode.

nice app
:good:

Great app. Any plans for releasing it in Play store?

[TIP] Changing dpi and using themes in landscape on 5.1.1. error/msg and workaround

Couldn't find anything else on this, but can't image I will be the only one (although in the xtrestothread there was another user facing the same issue) experiencing this...
After flashing 5.1.1 (Xtrestolite) on my S6 I noticed an annoying thing. When changing my dpi to 480 (and also 520) and applying a theme I got a message after rotating my phone to landscape mode (for example in the browser or camera app.
A dialog appeared with the title "Keyboard cover attached" and the message "Unable to apply downloaded themes while the keyboard cover is attached. The default theme will be applied". Pressing ok applies the default samsung theme and the only other option is to rotate the phone back to portrait after which the dialog disappears.
The issue seems to be with the ThemeCenter.apk in the /system/priv-app/ThemeCenter folder, I'll check if I can patch it somehow but in the meantime I have a dirty workaround... after applying the theme you want just rename the 'ThemeCenter.apk' to something like 'ThemeCenter.apk.mod'. Reboot the phone and you can rotate the phone as you wish without getting the msg and the stock theme being applied.
Only downside is you can not apply other themes while having it renamed (read disabled). Going to Themes in settings gives a crash, but at least the theme sticks now. If you wish to change the theme again, just rename the apk back to normal and reboot. Most likely the default theme will be applied again but you can now change it (and after changing, same procedure... rename and reboot).
For me this is good enough as I just want the material theme, so not too much hassle. Hopefully it will be of use to others as well.

Thanks! This workaround is exactly what I was looking for! Works with my Navbar + theme issue.

What is this for? Afaik this issue is still there with 5.1.1... Reflashing stock will reset the theme to default which indeed gets rid of the msg... But setting another team will make it appear again.

Got this message too...
My solution was to freeze ThemeCenter with Titanium Backup.
But it's only a workaround, cause you have to unfreeze the app to change themes...

Thanks a lot!! That's exactly what i was looking for

After some testing, it triggers if you set the density to 526dpi or lower. 527 and up is ok.

Thanks! Freezing in Titanium Backup helped

I found a solution.
You can use AppOps to limit it's permissions. Disable the draw on top permission and you won't have to freeze it nor remove it. You can change the theme anytime you like...

Install appops from google play store. Open it and tap install then reboot.... Then open it and slide to device and find the app Themes and tap on it and uncheck Draw on top. But once you want to apply another theme, change it back

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks

What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?
Sent from nowhere over the air...

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.

Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?

I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.

I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

OP7Pro w/Gcam Issues

I had just installed @Arnova8G2 's Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_V2.1.190614.0200.apk earlier today.
As of this post, it is the most up to date of Arnova8G2's Google Camera apks. The detail looks amazing as expected of the Google Camera, but when I check the pictures, they have a noticeable grey filter effect going on. A second issue I ran into is when I switch to Portrait mode, the mode freezes. The final issue I've found so far is the app also sometimes freezes when switching to selfie mode.
I'm wondering if anyone's also run into some of these issues and if I should use an earlier build instead?
NOTE: This is my first time using a third party apk, so I apologize if I sound ignorant. Do apps like these automatically update or do I need to install a newer apk manually for each iteration?

Apologies
I apologize, I'm new to this forum so I'm not sure how to delete this post. I realized that I forgot to install a config file, and once I did it fixed my issues.

I reverted to the stable Arnova's Advanced 1.6 apk along with the OP7_Arnova_Beta_Fizwiz_2.0.xml config file and it works (minus some of the more advanced functionality in the settings).

@tdnguyen0 , https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog566/

Ok so for front cam freezing in portrait change to nexus 6p in "advanced" then " base" and after that go to "fixs" and go to viewfinder change to YUV_420_888
For color none of the auto exposure fixes worked or white balance... The only thing that seemed to work okay for me was going to "libs" and changing to "Eszdman" its sets color gamut

Hello , i am using the application for oneplus 7 pro but i have a very big problem that i can't solve , when i take any picture with HDR+ it replays me always (processing HDR+) and still very much time to process and maybe not ! ? I don't know what i can do ??
