Vzw sgs iii dpi

So has anyone changed the dpi on our phone? I've changed it to 240 using Rom Toolbox but my phone apk is displayed incorrectly (obviously) and for some reason I couldn't change it back to normal. The highest in could set it to was 280. Just want others opinions on their favorite dpi, methods of changing it, tips and tricks and other problems they've had.

Root Explorer to manually edit the build.prop or LCD Density Modder (I have the Pro version to take care of any Play Store incompatibilities) both work well on stock/stock-based TouchWiz ROMs or AOSP-based ROMs.
You can use a third-party dialer from the Play Store if the stock dialer bugs you at different densities.
Anything below 240, IIRC, won't work on a TW ROM.
I am currently running AOKP on my GSIII and set the density at 180 so I can enjoy Tablet Mode. I love it, and we have a great big screen that can really take advantage of it.

Ooohhhh. Does your phone apk look alright on AOKP? I had AOKP on my E4GT but I'm too scared to flash it on this phone. Lol

Yeah it looks great. All I ran on my GNex was AOKP and so far it is the same for my GSIII.

I don't think the devs want to risk hard bricking their own phones. I know the devs with the International version will make ROMs based on that leak.

Yea too much differences between the two variants as they are completely different phones internally.

We're around 2-3 months behind the international version, correct? 4.2.1 has leaked but we're not even on 4.1.2 yet . I care but it's not a huge deal to me but some sort of timeline would be nice.

Hero just posted that he is porting it. :thumbup:

I could wait. There's plenty of 4.2 around. All I really want is the multiwindow anyway

You guys that are getting excited about 4.2.1 must have never used it before. This version will become known as the Windows Vista of Android.
The biggest bug I have is https://code.google.com/p/android/i...c=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars&id=39633 . It was somewhat fixed in 4.2.2, but not completely. There are several other issues introduced in 4.2. There are lots of people that believe that nothing since 4.1.2 has been better than that version. Each Android since then has had bugs that ruin the experience and should have been caught by the beta testing team.

International always gets the love first

You're talking strictly TW right? Because the only issues with 4.2 AOSP are the signal and bluetooth, which I believe was fixed with 4.2.2. The signal has been worked on and is actually pretty decent depending on which ROM you flash. What other "experience ruining" bugs have you dealt with?

4.2 on my nexus devices runs without a hitch. l haven't even had issues with Bluetooth. 4.2 on my S3 on the other hand has been a bit buggier. Data drops, crappy Bluetooth audio and crappy/inoperable camera have plagued every rom I've tried.

The Unofficial CM10.1 rom by Mastamoon has been running great on my Verizon S3. They are nightlies, but certainly don't act like it!

Hopefully this fixes data issues. Where I normally have 3 bars of 4g I had 1 or none on every 4.2 rom. Even the new builds do the same thing. Maybe my phone donesnt like them? Ha

It shows the signal differently. The actual dBm should be the same. At least that's what I'm to understand.

Got a feeling TW 4.2.1 will be a little different than AOSP. At least that's what I would think.

I hope Samsung is working on a theme/skin engine for TW. They've come a long way with the level of customization in TW, but it's just so [email protected] ugly. Can't wait to see what else Sammy has integrated with 4.2.

Help with DPI changing.

Hiya peeps, have some questions about changing the dpi on my transformer. Have been looking to download a good racing game eg, real racer2/3 gt racing ect but having no luck (not compatible). After doing some research i got to the conclusion that the compatability issue is down to dpi, right?. Well heres the next question, i have managed to get a download which appears to work up untill the screen res changes (i think) so would manualy changing the sreen dpi with a third party app allow it to run?. And finaly can anything go wrong using apps to change the dpi regularly?. Any help you can offer would be great TIA.

Im using cm10.1 on Brazil and it works great. Try to download an app called "lucky patcher" and patch your play store to be compatible with all apps.

Hi, back again. Have managed to get lucky patcher but to be honest i am not sure quite what to do with it. Can you give me some pointers on what it does and how to do it?. Custom Patch, remove lisence, change permissions, create modified APK?.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

You have to select the play store app from the list. It will display custom patch if you are using one of the latest versions. Then it will present you with an option to unlock the compatibility with every app you want.

It's CM10.1 + paranoidandroid + aokp so the extra system overhead causes the lag.

I was just bout to say the same....... I'm sure with some tweaking, I can reduce this lag. Just have to wait and see. My OG is asleep on the Welcome Screen for the night, because that is how I usually do to let it ALL settle in. Although, I flashed the NoA2SD version straight up, so I don't know if that will make a difference. Either way, it is still PAC-man 4.2.2 on the OG. Can't say it hasn't been done.

To help a little with the lag, I go to settings/developer options, scroll down towards the middle & turn off the animations. Change all 3 from 1x to off. I think it makes a difference, you might not.
And by the way, I'll say it here too, thanks a sh!t ton for this Eric, love this on my og. Running great still, thanks bro!
Sent from my SPH-l900 using JellyBombed Tapatalk 2

No problem man. I appreciate it. As I said, as long as I have to use this phone, its gonna get 4.2.2. I saw the light with the Note2 for a little bit and there was nothing quite like it. I'm hooked on jellybean. :beer:
P.S. my default action is always turning animations to off, then sideloading Nova and disabling there too. Yes. Works like a champ here.

Yea I always either turn off animation or set it to.5x

Side load=have a backup copy from play store in an app folder on my sdcard. Go into file explorer and tap to install.
I meant to add it into the ROM, but I got lazy. Its a lot smoother than Trebuchet imho.

Not necessarily sideloading it makes it smoother, I mean nova in general. In Nova Settings - Look and Feel - Scroll Speed and Animation Speed set to faster than light.

Hey, so i have a question for all of you veterans on here. Im mildly experimental, so i just do the basic flash a rom here and there deal. However, im running hyperdrive rls14 with stock kernel on my Verizon s3. Since it gives me options to have beats audio, aosp email and clocks as well as other great features like the touchwiz motion controls, I've been running it for a few months now.But ive realized its heavy on my battery life, and my phone has been getting hot more often than before. I felt like that partially due to the amount of ram it takes up. So does anyone have any good suggestions as to what i run? Because ive heard things such as pure stock is boring and want to make a good decision.

You can still run this, but I suggest you try the things that you want installed, and those that you think you can live without remove them. I think that will make a huge difference.

Also = AOSP, right? Well there's Halo, nightlies, "less" lag, faster updates (currently at Jb 4.2.2, TW is at 4.1.2), no TW bloat, (customizable) soft keys, and a host of other things. It's not what AOSP has that TW doesn't, sometimes it's what AOSP does not have which is why folks choose to avoid TW.
