Rendering issue on SlimRom - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I just recently installed a Custom Rom on my Nexus S after being on stock for 2 years+. Reason being that it was quite slow so I thought I give a Custom rom a try. I choose to go with SlimRom since it's quite new and I feel excited about the new 4.2.2 Android. Also I used a custom kernel (marmite).
The problem I am facing is that on the first flash (try) I had a perfect ROM until I faced a problem with Exchange and Email application crashing constantly so I followed the advice from the FAQ to wipe data and try again. I thought it would be a good idea to reflash the latest SlimRom as well since it was fixing the Gmail problem with toast notifications. After that point and after some Apps doesn't render correctly. It's not just one (then I would say it's the app) and it's not all of them. So I am posting here in case you have a better idea of what's happening. See the images I attach for get an idea of what I am talking about. In the Chrome application the tab number is like moved some pixels down and on the other application (Online Radio app) the button is moved few pixels up.
Anyone happened to come across that? Any suggestions to fix it?
Thanks

Hi
I would suggest putting this in the development section under the slim ROM section so the developers can help out
But what DPI are you using?
Good luck

That was my first thought as well, but unfortunately I don't have enough posts to let me post there. If an admin can move it there it would be great.
DPI setting : 182 (default from SlimRom)

setting to stock [240] DPI has always
cleared squirrly display errors
both on my old 4G and the current 9020a
i use to run 220 and could go back to it
and it would desplay correctly...
ymmv

OK, I forgot about the development section requirements.
But like the previous post mentioned... The DPI should be changed to stock 240 or what he has at 220. Give it a try to see what happens.

I tries setting the DPI to 220 and I saw some improvement. So I gyres it's a combination of the custom DPI and the apps. I can survive for now with the rendering bug since I like the small DPI (182)
Thanks for the suggestions

It seems it's a problem with the application, since new versions of chrome fixed it.

[Launcher][Alpha1] TouchWiz UX on KF

So, we have an improvement, TouchWiz UX is currently WORKING on Kindle Fire, I have tested it and no crucial bug for a user except for the CM9 stuffs and a small DPI of 120, but it is WORKING with a DPI of 120, a little small? Your eyes will adjust. If you want to test it, here it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6b65sayjfz86fd3
Go to Google Play Store and use any apps possible to change your DPI to 120, then use root explorer or adb to push it over /system/app and install it! You should be good to go!
Here's what the first version of it looks like:
http://db.tt/WqRG8e64
http://db.tt/S7bmuvyR
Special Thanks to bobrien4975 for making this
What not working that I need help with! Coming Soon
* Working with a DPI of 160, 120 is maybe too small for a good use on a tablet.
* If you have the Galaxy Tab 7 or 10.1 rooted, go to system/app and get us the TWLauncher.apk , Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
* No Wallpaper on Lock Screen
* Soft buttons and notifications that looks like TouchWiz UX. (I guess for this we need a ROM, right?)
Oh, and don't update any apps on Google Play now, if you want it, I suggest changing the launcher then the dpi and update then change the dpi and back to TouchWiz!
sadly no
I spent hours last week trying this... no success the resoultoin on the launcher is weird and doesn't fit right i got contacts app to work and that's all

That's a good start! My KF forces close every time I use the launcher, but it seems you got it running, do you still have the apk or anything so I can test it out and find a solution! Or at least somebody will!
You'd have to port a TW Rom. Like the Stock HC 3.2 Rom on the Galaxy Tab 7. It's mostly AOSP. But I know TW ports are hard, you'd have better luck with HC Sense.

I see ur point, thanks for pointing that out for me! I guess if it involves ROM porting we should focus on the cm9 first, maybe our awesome devs will do it after their cm9 project! But I still can't see why can't we just port the launcher or make a typical theme at least! Is TW UX built for Honeycomb or are there other reasons? Thanks

Hey bobrien4975,
Can you send me the apk of the launcher and the framework apk file that is in /system (asuming that you do it this way) and all the files involving this.
I would like to test it, I hear it crashes a lot but it's great to have a try on TouchWiz and see what is the problem.
Can you upload it or something and make it a Alpha version so others may help with the progress and perfect it.
Meanwhile, I will try to get some information and try to port the Soft Buttons and Notification as I see you didn't get it working, I will try to borrow my friend's Galaxy Tab 7 and get the files I need! If you have a rooted Galaxy Tab and want to help, go into system and copy out the twlauncher.apk , framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and email it to me: [email protected]

Made this into a development thread, not a question thread, hoping to get TouchWiz working!
It takes a while for your eyes to adjust to the small density, but when you do, it's amazing, the launcher really is, and for an average user, I don't see any crucial bug here (except for the CM9 stuffs), it's beautiful, not as small as I imagined it would be, and I fooled a dude at my school claiming this is the Galaxy Tab 7!
Nice yeah I kept it at 120 I like it

Have anyone tried this, I am looking for a bug report, I am not seeing anything on my Kindle except for the not working Lock Screen lock!
When you changes the DPI, some apps in Play Store seem to be updating and some apps forces close all the time after update, so let's not update any app for now, but installing new apps seem to work great!

Does Sense still crash all the time on CleanRom?

Sense crashes on me constantly. I tried the fix suggested where you go unclick the activities setting in the development area, to no avail. Can any Cleanrom users tell me if this is problem for you (AT&T) after you rooted and installed CR on your phone?
What do you mean by crashing? Is it force closing or just reloading (get the loading circle)
If its reloading its because of HTC setting aggressive memory management.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
I could have worded that better - I mean to say that HTC sense, on my vanilla AT&T rom, goes down a lot, and when you press the home button, it says "loading" for upwards of 20 seconds.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214, however while this seems to fix it for some folks, it does not fix it for others. It's still happening to me, sadly.
I am considering returning this for a SGIII, but I got to wondering if I root it and install CleanRom, maybe that fixes the issue to, in addition to removing the AT&T bloat.

That would be the aggressive management that HTC put into the phone same reason that the browser reloads the page after you close it.
If you find a ROM that locks sense into the memory then it should solve that.
I only have the t3 hox so I can't recommend any for at&t

bumping, in case some Cleanrom users can reply. I got really frustrated yesterday - set up my screens and launcher and folders all nice, just the way I like them, nad Sense reloaded - all of a sudden, the screens I had removed were back, my icons were all over the place, and my folders were not on the home screen. Super frustrating!
Hold on, it actually goes back to default layout after reloading as well?

Almost - I had five screens again, my folders were all bumped to the last screen (so I had to move them back to the home screen before I could delete the extra screens), and a bunch of icons appeared out of nowhere, all over the place. So, it didn't go back to default but it did jack everything up.
It may be something that never comes up because most people do not remove all the extra screens.

I doubt you're going to get many replies from CleanROM users over here, since you've posted this in the international (Tegra 3) subforums and CleanROM is for S4 devices so no-one here will be using it. You'd probably get a better response asking here (or you could maybe ask a mod to shift the thread for you).

WHOOPS! Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Well hello Welcome to the correct forums xD
CleanROM has many multitasking improvements, from what I've read, so it should help quite a bit.
And if you still don't like the multitasking, AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 or AOKP have perfect multitasking (I've been able to get up to 7 apps running with AOKP)
CleanROM 4.1
Using the latest version of CleanROM on the AT&T One X, I have none of the issues that you speak of. Multitasking is night-and-day (granted that you flashed the multitasking mod in the AROMA installer), battery life is stellar, and everything is rock-solid stable.
I've never seen sense reload on me but I don't play games much. Are you a big gamer? I've been using clean rom since it was introduced.
I haven't had Sense reload on me once since flashing CleanROM a month and a half ago. I play a ton of RAM heavy games too like NOVA 3 and as I said, not once has it happened.
I mostly use the web on mine, Google Music, and a couple minor games like Words By Post and Temple Run. Thank you all for the replies, this makes me feel a bit more hopeful. I'm a bit anti-Samsung at the moment, so I am glad to hear that maybe flashing a ROM will fix my problems. I was pretty close to just returning it.

Trust me man, flash CleanROM and you will fall in love with your HOX. The ROM is amazing and the dev is awesome. It is the way HTC should have shipped these things.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) - LCD Density

Hi there,
I was looking through the forum without lucky and I have a question. I have a SG3 and I would like to change the LCD density from build.prop without brick my phone. So my question is if anyone know what are any possible value for this?
The default value for my last SG2 was 240, and now the SG3 comes with 320. I used to use the SG2 with 160, but I'm not sure if this will work with my SG3.
Thanks in advance, and hope that this info help to anyone else in the community.

SOLUTION:
Before change LCD Density value in build.prop make sure that you have installed Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher in your SG3. In that way your phone will not crash...

From my understanding on the Galaxy S3 if you go any lower then 240dpi you will crash your phone. Anything lower then 240 I believe would be used for tablets, and the like.
I set mine to 240. lcd density did not work. build prop change via rom toolbox did and it looks AMAZING for 10 seconds then crashes. (freezes) eventually reboots (trying to reset in adb from CWM now) suggestions?
what could be causing it to crash I REALLY want that higher effective resolution. BADLY.
running leaked JB rom
I set my GS3 LTE to 240, works really well. However there were a couple of qwerks to note:
The launcher is rubbish, changed to EXLauncher pro
I had to mod the email app to fill the screen. sadly i can't attach the modded apk to this post as it is too big.
The camera app is a little strange, but perfectly usable.
The clock app crashes on launch - very irritating, however i set alarms using the voice controls! i should install an alternative clock app.

you got it so far. use alternative launcher. use alternative clock
calculator and talk are also borked
there IS a user working on converting the apk's to work on the S3 in fact he has most of them done but they don't work on US S3's only the international S3. he says he will try to make them work for US S3's (fingers crossed)
The S3 at stock res sucks. it was MADE for 240 in my opinion.
FYI I rooted the device with I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 and CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip then changed ro.sf.lcd_density in puild.prop from 320 to 240.
for some reason there are 2 entries of ro.sf.lcd_density. I assume the first one gets parsed and the second one ignored, as I changed the second one first to no effect. eventually i changed both.

Completely agree. it seems utterly crazy to make such a nice big high res screen then just scale up all the apps as if it was designed for only people with poor eyesight. I almost put my device on ebay ready to go back to iphone before i started getting into it.
Do you have a link to the the modded files? I was just looking through the camera app dimensions definitions and I don't have the time to change those! The email app just involved 3 dimension changes.
GS3 with slimbean.
I Installed slimbean 4.3 beta.2 and it has my screen density as 245. If you take a look at the screen shot I uploaded it shows what to do for changing screen density. Hope this helps.

DPI change on Jellybean?

I sucessfully installed jellybean but I can't seem to change the lcd density..
I have in my build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=160 and nothing happens.. I still have it set to the original, 240.
I noticed theres a new options in jellybean's build.prop ro.sf.override_null_lcd_density=1, I commented this out and also set it to 0, but still no go.
Any ideas? I've tried various apps and they all have no effect
uh, I may be wrong, but how is you changing a setting going to have a physical change on the hardware that's in your tablet?

It's NOT a physical change - Changing the LCD DPI Density has been a method used on most versions of Android for years. What rock have YOU been under?
Yep. Same here. Can't find a way to get 160 back to life.
This is pretty much a worst thing Asus could do to us. Or is it JB thing?
Don't know, but i'll try to find a solution to this as i just can't look at 240 density after using 160 for so long.
Oversized icons are really not nice :cyclops:
Hmm this might have something to do with my sensitivity issues too. Before in a certain game I could rapidly tap a button and it would go through. Now on JB it's not registering my rapid taps and I have to tap slower. Looking all over the place for a solution!

I'm on CM 10(JB 4.1.1.) and DPI change works through the build.prop without any problems. I wonder if Asus did something to block this in latest update..
Could it be related to the kernel not supporting it?
I mean, they probably changed kernel, so maybe they didn't include this in the final release.
Why is beyond me and my understanding of their logic.
I hope this is not the case.
hm.. this is hard to get used to 240 again. i hope theres a way around this

It tricks Android into making each pixel smaller. Which means all your icons, text, etc shrink on the screen. This gives you more room on your screen and makes mostly everything look a hell of a lot better. If you do a search for DPI on the general forum, you will find a thread about DPI with screen shots that show you the difference.

Why not just try out a custom Rom? At the Moment Baked BlackBean 4 and unofficial CM10 10/1 versions work very well and give you all kinds of settings and tweaks to work with as well as theme chooser. The only thing that isn't working (well or at all) is GPS and I expect that will be fixed in short order, now that the official TF700 JB update is out.

Don't get me wrong, I used CM9 on my TF101 and use it on my phone, BUT I like a stable ROM with barely any noticable issues as I really do use just about everything on my devices, including the GPS. For now, until the custom roms make a bit more headway, I'm not going to switch.
Any luck?
Bump on this topic, no go on lcd mods in build.prop
REALLY would like to go back to 160...i may downgrade if there is no workaround...
I can also confirm lcd changer apps dont work either, got soft brick with one and the others didnt change anything
Agreed, any news?
Has anyone contacted Asus about it and asked?
Or, has anyone tested DPI changes on other Jelly Bean devices such as the Nexus 7 and seen if it works there (which would indicate Asus intentionally disabled it)?

Tablet UI

So i already started messing with LCD Density
brought down to tablet UI 190 Nothing (crashes Touch Wiz)
also tride 170 samething just smaller icons and txt
brought back up to 320 and now touchwiz is permanetly messed and Tablet UI No where to be found
also tryed to bring up 2 360, 420, LULz, 540 <~~~ not good by any means
if you mess with density dont forget to install another Launcher if you forget to install a Launcher turn on easy mode it works on all densities
im woundering if they took out tablet ui in jellybean or if it is under a different density will look more into it

i am not going to have an argument here but this isnt developmental. Everyone who has had an Android in the last 3 years knows about changing the density. You can do it as easy as changing the build prop.
Just saying our threads are over booked with threads that are irrelevant.
Also you will not get tablet ui on this touchwhiz because it was not designed to be in tablet mode, Just like AOSP roms after 4.2. They removed that feature
Since 4.2 the tabletUI is gone from google-side. There is also no tabletUI in the new Samsung Tablet Note 10.1 (2014). All i know is Xperiacle is on the right way. Please be patient, he has a lot to do with mods/apps for our Note 3 and has a real life. If it´s possible he will do it. I am also a TabletUI freak and i can wait.

Also you will not get tablet ui on this touchwhiz because it was not designed to be in tablet mode, Just like AOSP roms after 4.2. They removed that feature

i have had tablet ui working on all touchwiz version ever since it was implemented by google . tablet ui was easy to bring back after it was removed by google , most 4.2 aosp based roms all have tablet ui for any phone ...

Since 4.2 the tabletUI is gone from google-side. There is also no tabletUI in the new Samsung Tablet Note 10.1 (2014). All i know is Xperiacle is on the right way.

the ressources need to be added back in . its doable but very time consuming .. and the fact tablet ui doesnt exist anymore (even for tablets) makes it much harder to make that stupid smali language to work . form one version to another , I would also like to add that this mod isnt very popular , the last time ive done it (for the note 2) there was very small interest in the rom after it was released ...
@op this is not a dev thread more like a request/Q&A thread

yep, i do it with the auto-patcher (i hate smali coding)on my tablet till 4.2. Here I think the systemui is/was the point.

I'm happy folks are discussing this. With the floating windows possible by short cuts or pen launcher there may not be as strong a desire for tablet ui but what I think would be good is to extract some from the apks form Note 10.1 (2014 edition) and get them to nicely fit and work on Note 3. There is a deodexed version of its rom and I extracted some of its apks. but the only one I got to work so far was MyFiles. Hope folks have more success than me!
Here is some more info if interested...

i use the splanner and the tabletjobmanager from the P600 2014. I also tried the email and contacts. At the email the will start and i can see the app for a short moment and than FC. The contacts is half working like on the Note 1 on the begining, all is working, dialpad, protocols and favorits. But when i hit contacts - FC. I also tried the secMMS from the P601, the result was a bootloop and Odin . Tonight i´ll try the contacts from the N900T, i love the white.
Edit: What dpi are you using, also 240?
