Anyone have tried reducing DPI on our device? Any disadvantages of this operation? Like screwed up icons or something?

Have you tried xposed & appsettings?
I've just noticed the thread about it (XDA App haven't shown it to me or may I missed it). Will do a try, I only hope I won't make a mistake anywhere.

I use xposed an appsettings without any problem.
With the other solution (to change dpi in build.prop) you will have the problem that several apps seem to be incompatible and Play Store won't update these "incompatible" apps any longer.

So... Setting 217 DPI will cause problems with updating apps such as jakdojade.pl or something like that? God damn it, I hoped, I would have a bit smaller interface like One S has.
And thanks for the feedback.

Personally, I had no update issues in reducing the dpi to 217 in build.prop
The only problem is that some apps will look glitchy (sense interface, torch), for them you'll need to set dpi back to 240, using something like appsettings for xposed framework

Good. I've tried installing Xposed Framework to get Appsettings module, but then I've been spammed with illegal information. Do I have to install busybox? Or may I just forgot to set system rw in ES File Explorer... I just realised that might be the solution.
EDIT: Well... That haven't worked either. Only app_process have been patched. If I will push xposedbridge by myself, then it should work?
EDIT2: Okay, that haven't changed anything.. Any idea?

Flash back stock boot.img with fastboot, install xposed, flash back the kernel/boot.img you used before.

I was wondering, if it wasn't caused by non-stock kernel. Then you picked up the idea here in this thread. And it worked. Thanks!

I had the same problem
I'm bumping up this thread again, because I tried to take a DPI one step lower, so it means - 216 DPI. I have to tell, that the interface looks much better than it was on 217. The notification icons are sharper and all the icons and texts are sharper too. I really recommend to try it.
(I didn't want to make a new thread, so I posted it here.)
I find 216 still too large for my liking. I've been running 200 for a while without any issues. It's a good balance.
I am also using the multi-dpi version of google play so no probs there either.
The ONLY minor issue is that it cuts off the bottom of the 'Recent Apps' (the part showing the app name) which isn't a big deal for me at all as I can see what the app is anyway.

So I got:
X-Note 5.1 @ 320 dpi (all bloatware removed)
AC!D sound mod
Simplistic Framework + Simplistic Control for Note 3
XPosed Framework + Various modules (Xprivacy, Wanam, XBlast, ICSAppPicker, etc.)
AOSP Browser (modded to have Startpage and Startpage Mobile as search engines available)
SuperUser 1.65
Busybox 1.21.1 for armv71 (you wanna get the one from busybox.net for maximum commands - the one from stericson or so often miss some commands)
Appsi (as Sidebar Launcher for apps)
Switchr (as Task Switcher + Home button is set to switch between the last 2 apps with simplistic)
Will also get themer for homescreen. (as far as I understand it's just a "homescreen" launcher?) - used lightning drawer in the past. (allows maximum customization too, but not so easy theming I think)
----
All with my knox warranty still intact! (unfortunately I cannot make photos myself, only got the note, no other camera, and when I'm out I dont really thing about stuff like making a photo of my own phone lol)
(check my other threads if you want to know how this is possible)

What do you think is missing in my setup still? (apart from custom kernel, and recovery off course - but dont wanna trip that knox just yet)
aww I shouldve kept my mouth shut... after setting everything up and trying to use wifi for the first time i cant get no ip assigned from my router somehow ... sigh - too much customization.
I think its because of deinstallation of so much "bloatware" or a permissions thing. ARGH :silly:
You know you can take screenshots right?

Did you use the x transformer app to change dpi? If so how did you set it to 320, the lowest I could set it to is 360.

i think he is talking about download mode, as that's where the knox binary counter is. And AFAIK you can't take screenshots in download mode, however I can be wrong as I have never tried it.

I got my DHCP fixed now, it was indeed a permissions problem. (some folders and files in /system/etc need special permissions which I overwrote in the process).
But one small problem remains so far: Cant connect with openvpn. It does not find the local adapter - any idea what could cause this?
When I try to connect it say udp local unbound, where actually should be a network interface right?

right - I am taking all this time to provide false informations, maybe you got time to do this but I don't.
Why shouldnt it work? Its no damn rocket science to change some files in the system over adb, and knox does not care about the system partition! (at least as long as you dont try to odin flash a custom roms system img... this is not yet tested, but I believe as long as you leave out the kernel and recovery that you can flash custom system.img even through odin.. but I didnt wanna risk it yet..).
Its just a bit time consuming and you need to be careful not to overwrite certain files (some libs most notably - you will find out which in my other thread about how doin it). The permission fixing by hand is the most annoying part I can tell ya. (maybe this could be automated through a permission fixing script for all the important files etc..)

Go look at his thread man. Ppl tried it and found success. And just for the record he can't exactly post "proof". If he shows that he is running an custom rom and then shows that his knox is 0x0, he can obviously post a pic that was taken before flashing the rom or borrowed from someone else. So you just have to either take his word for it or try it yourself if you have been patient enough to not trip the knox binary counter.

If you still want to see how a non knox tripped download mode looks, google helps ya I'm sure! =)
With simplistic its also showing official in the telephone info (even with sysscope deinstalled) but in download mode it obviously says custom system. (which can be fixed to official if you flash the phone with kies, but this will also update the bootloaders - so only do it when you need to return the phone ever! Probably can just flash stock odin minus the bootloader files to get official status back too, but not sure)
What is acid sound mod??

No clue what it actually does, but just installed it for the heck of it. (noonoxide too hehe, dunno if they are compatible togehter).
Those were the soundmods that were included in the xnote zip installer.

Still need to figure out why local udp is [undef] if I want to connect through openvpn .. anyone have an idea what might cause this?
Already tried disabling afwall and also xposed (xprivacy) to see if thats the cause but its not.
I'm thinking its a permission thing again....
UPDATE:
Can someone please tell me whether they have a folder called /system/lib/modules or not? (might be missing kernel modules here, so I want to find out if i maybe deleted it or smth... or if i need to manually install tun.ko for openvpn to work)

Even though there is no proof but I totally believe it cos what he explains makes sense. I have use the same adb methods to replace frameworks and apps for theming purpose with success and not tripping knox. So why wouldn't it work. All he did is just go the extra step and replace almost all the files from a custom rom.

thanks,
how about /system/app/mcRegistry and /system/app/pak - does anyone have these still?
If so please upload - I need to figure out if they are required for anything important.
(they are not included in odin image unfortunately)
My installer script is 99% ready but needs some more testing and some small additions (like beeing able to choose whether you want to clean /system/app and /system/framework and if you want to clean dalvik-cache etc. - but its working fine already, reinstalled xnote again from clean odin rdlv mj6 just with my script!)
I will make it so it can install basically all cwm scripts (well no aroma support, some files will need to be installed manually, or rather copied into the right folder to be installed then)
1)Does using xposed modules affect the performance of your phone!?
2)Does "per app dpi" module work well in kitkat 4.4.2?
3)Is it recommended to even restore the xposed framework+modules via titanium after flashing a "different" rom?
4)Why does fixing permission restore the modifications done via xposed to some apps?
5)are the modification codes injected into the rom or they run over it(sorry if i sound like a noob,i am one)?

1) for some people for no known reason
2) yes, app settings
3) Same as any other app restore. Who cares, do what you want
4) Didn't know it did. "fix permissions" is not a good thing to do. Avoid it at all costs
5) Read the xposed thread. they are not injected (thats the whole point)

Xposed runs on top, not changing code. Gravity box only supports pure AOSP. The code Gravity box changes is not the same if not AOSP so some things work, some do not.
Dont fix permissions. Recovery doesnt know what permissions should be so it guesses. Bad

These are apks. Insofar as I am aware, the Google email and exchange apks are only available to Nexus devices through Google play, so they'd never get updater.

I've tried my best, in all possible variables and finally decided to give up after wasting 3 straight days of a perfect weekend.
My Driver just doesn't stick and I've tried all alternative installation methods. I've kept backups of system/*.* so all damages were reversed without any flashing. Root, Busybox everything runs perfectly and tested everything for integrity.
So far I've cornered the issue to Systemless Root, which seems to be the only entity having issues with v4a. Until a proper answer is digged up, I'm gonna stick with my Note 5 which has this working on System-Mode Root. (The driver didn't stick on the Note 5 when I tried to use it with System-less) Luckily the Note 5 is still on LP, with Su 2.64.
Good Luck to those who are trying, and thanks to all who helped!

Yes. Actually there is a perfect package from @guitardedhero. You have to be rooted, busyboxed, twrp'ed. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3701983&d=1459364213
It is Viper Atmos Sony Beats edition working beautifully on ny S7E. Three more step to do after flashing: 1. freeze SoundAlive and AdaptSound, reboot. 2. go to system preferences and check whether Viper has memory access granted. 3. go to SuperSu and DISABLE 'Mount namespace separation', reboot. Done!
Btw. If you want to play with Profiles inside Viper, go to your internal memory using root explorer and inside Viper folder create folder called 'Profiles'.
Btw2. 6.0.1new abowe destroy your conf files. Hope you have backup.
Better flash @guitardedhero mod on fresh rooted rom. hope you enjoy.
Btw3. Sound is AMAZING!

Hi all, I've had quite a few issues with Viper4android, including extreme battery drain (since installing my phone will drain from 80% to 0% overnight with no use), and inconsistent volume in various apps (Spotify only has about 60% volume output with random bursts to 100%).
How can I remove all of its components and revert back to stock? I'm guessing it's more involved than just reflashing the stock rom, perhaps I need radio files + others too
My phone is a Samsung s6 edge plus (SM-G928i).
Thank you all, and apologies if this is in the wrong place!

How can I remove all of its components and revert back to stock? I'm guessing it's more involved than just reflashing the stock rom, perhaps I need radio files + others too
My phone is a Samsung s6 edge plus (SM-G928i).
Thank you all, and apologies if this is in the wrong place!

Actually, its much easier than reflashing your ROM (though that would work fine too)
All you have to do is hit the menu button/3 dot icons>uninstall drivers>reboot. And you're done.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I'll give that a whirl

This just removes the drivers, uninstalling the app after removing drivers and re-enabling your stock audio(if you had to remove/disable it), this should put you back to stock.

Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me how to re-enable my stock audio? I get the feeling this was removed during the installation process

By extracting a copy of the audioFX apk from your stock firmware
Or
By extracting it from a nandroid backup if you have one
Or
Find someone with your device and have them upload a copy of it.
Or
Find a copy with a Google search for:
"Audiofx.apk(or whatever the stock audio is called on your device) for (your model number and firmware version)
FYI, you would have had to manually remove or disable your stock audio yourself. It wouldn't have happened automatically, so if you yourself didn't remove/disable it then you probably don't have anything to worry about.

Did you flash V4A via recovery? Or did you install the app manually?
If you don't see the stock Equalizer in your app drawer then it was probably removed during installation of V4A (when done via recovery) but if it was installed manually then the equalizer app should still be installed/visible in your app drawer. All you have to do is open the app and toggle the on/off button.
If the app was removed though, you'll have to reflash your ROM to get it back.
NB 1. If stock EQ was already enabled, you might wanna disable it and give V4A another shot. As I've personally experienced issues with both of them enabled.
NB 2. Uninstalling the drivers practically kills the app. But you can go ahead and uninstall it as recommended by @Droidriven

I flashed a recovery file for it. So I might just take the easy route and reflash my rom I might give it another crack when I get my new phone in April / May!

Yep, my installations on all devices I've had have been via app which required me manually removing/disabling stock audio.
I've encountered installations on some devices that required using terminal emulator or adb shell to implement correctly, slightly tricky stuff that I don't remember the details for.

I'm guessing your stock EQ was deleted then.
Just flash your ROM and you should be fine. Keep in mind though that any other additions/modifications you made to your system partition will be overwritten.
Uninstall Flashed App - Viper4Android
Hey folks,
I am new to xda and so this question might not be appropriate for this particular thread -- I don't know, I guess I'll take my chance. So, upon rooting my android device last week I went ahead and downloaded the Viper4Android audio enhancer as a zip, and installed it through the TWRP recovery terminal. This flashed the app on the phone drive. However, the Viper4Android driver is not installing properly and all my attempts to fix that are going in vain, thus I think the best solution is to uninstall the app and install a new package following a specific xda thread instructions to the letter. So my question is how do I uninstall a flashed app? I can't seem to find the app folder when the installation files are located. The app is present in my app menu. I am a root user and have directory apps like Root Explorer, Magisk Manager, BusyBox, RomToolbox etc. Btw, I've read most of this thread, and it mainly discusses the removal of the drivers. (Which I presume never installed in my phone anyways, as Viper4Android never worked -- hence why I am looking to uninstall the whole thing, and try anew). I have a Moto g5 plus.
How should I proceed? What's the best tool to uninstall a flashed Viper4Android App?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
