LK7 multi dpi camera
LK7 multi dpi dialer
LK7 multi dpi keyboard
240 dpi launcher note2 universal
240 dpi calculator note2 universal
Step 4: Open the UI Switcher now switch to any DPI or Custom DPI it should work.
Please post the queries that you have about this Guide

Hi aukhan, thanks for the tutorial
But are you sure it's just as simple as that? Because the last time I tried, I must change the lcd density in bulid.prop to enable tablet UI mod :silly:
Just install UI switcher didn't change anything for me last time

Just to add to this, I recently used resolution change / Density from Google Play and set my DPI to 240 on a stock rom and it worked great. The only 3 things that didnt agree with the DPI change were the Samsung Keyboard (Kept crashing so couldnt use it), Camera (menu bars misalligned) and Dialler so I replaced these with Swift Dialer, Swiftkey Keyboard and any other camera app from Google, I also installed Smartlauncher and it looks pretty cool.

what Rom are you on you could just Flash these above files provided and that should solve your problem with Dialer,Camera and Touchwiz.

does any of other samsung apps Multi DPI compatible?

which method do all reccommend ? how about the 240 xposed method ? you can get floating windows that way too and give various apps different dpi according to usage ?
is there a better modded TW launcher, this one gives blue page pointers which i dont like.

Its won't work on latest MG1 build bro..xperiacle hasn't released update for latest MG1 build..and simply installing ui switcher app won't do anything..it needs a modified framework(by xperiacle)..u need to flash the framework first then the ui switcher app

Tested on my GT-N7100, works great it does not change only the drawer dpi it updates all your apps, in adition I installed Nova Launcher in order to change the icon grid to 6x7 for a better look.

one question bro-
is it necessary to flash "LK7 multi dpi camera"?? Can't we set the dpi through xposed?

I've been running this mod since than and had noticed some issues:
- You cannot resize widgets in the home screen any more
- The clock app crashes in 240dpi mode, I used the clockpage 4.1.2 apk from this thread to fix it(flashed it like the rest) -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001577
- The dialer(I flashed the one from this thread) buttons are not ok in portail mode, they seem "squeezed" and too big
- In the messages app, the font size from the threads and messages is not rezied and scaled properly it goes outside from the threads box
- Stock email app is not scaled properly it has a right margin in the main threads about 30%
- Page buddy not scaled ok
+ Multiwindow not working
If someone can post a 240dpi email, pagebuddy, launcher(with min 5x6 apps and resize available) it would be great

Galaxy NOTE 8 KEYBOARD - Fully Working

Here you go, Guys - the Galaxy NOTE 8 Keyboard in all its awesome glory fully working on Galaxy Note N7000 at 213 dpi and below (Phablet & Tablet UI). I have fully tested it with the English language and qwerty layout and all works fine (just one minor bug - key tap sound causes FC when enabled so you have to disable it in Language and Input Settings). It is fast with awesome HANDWRITING RECOGNITION (powered by Vision Objects), has Predictive and Swype-like functionality (powered by Swiftkey) with many languages to choose from. Perfectly-fitting layouts both in Portrait and Landscape mode. It has 3 Layouts - normal, floating and split. Personally, I only use the handwriting functionality so whether the 3 layouts are of any use to you is a matter of personal preference.
As I said, I have only tested it with the English language (qwerty) so I dont know if there are any issues with other languages. I have tested it with LSZ-based ROM so I am not sure if there are any issues with other JB versions.
How to Install:
Important: Make a backup.
1. Make sure you have an alternative keyboard - just a fallback in case of FC.
DOWNLOAD
2. Flash thru Recovery and Reboot.
3. Test it. If it FC then go to Settings>Languages and Input>Samsung Keyboard Settings>Advanced and disable Key Tap Sound (refer to photo below).
4. Enjoy.
TIP: To activate the 3-layouts, PINCH IN on the keyboard with TWO Fingers and the layout selection will come out.
THANKS to my fellow xda-ers who tested it prior to release.
first!...tested it on DXLSE and DDLSC work great!...
Feedback
Just to report about other languages, there is no issue about other languages even Chinese just need to download language of your choice. It includes ALMOST ALL languages. Smooth and fast, handwriting is wonderful. This is the best app ported from Note 8 I think.

Remember this keyboard only works on 213 dpi.
I think you didn't flash it properly.I flashed it on Rocket Rom and it works for me. You have to activate it in settings, the only problem I had was the rocket rom settings didn't support 213 dpi so I just pushed this settings to APP folder and then changed dpi to 213 by editing build.prop then reboot. I also used TW launched which supports 213 dpi from other thread of xperiacle here and cleared the cash in applications manager.

Ahh yeah okay, forgot that. Now it make sense .
Make sure you all have enough space in system before installation. I was already on eybees lsz deodex first release with setting from other Note 8 thread the one with reading mode panel.
Use rom tool box lite to change lcd density to 213.
FC .. How to fix it or how to get back the stock keyboard?
thanks for this .. i will try it!
I'm obviousy missing something here because I also flashed it and still get the stock keyboard. Any ideas anyone?

Uncheck the key tap sound, that's the only reason for fc if you are actually on 213 dpi.

[APP][Xposed] Per app DPI for all apps, Volume Skip Track, Status Bar Tweaks & more

[APP][Xposed] Per app DPI for all apps, Volume Skip Track, Status Bar Tweaks & more
Great News: Xposed Installer now supports Galaxy S4​
Galaxy S4 has a nice 5 inch display. But having phoneUI in all the apps doesn't justify the screen size. With Xposed App Settings you can change layout and density of each app to tabletUI or PhabletUI whatever your preferences are.
I have tried it on Stock Rom. So it should probably work with every rooted ROM ODEX or DEODEX.
How to Install
1. Make a Nandroid Backup. (Just in case you mess up any system file)
2. Download the XposedInstaller 2.1.4 apk and install it. Launch it and grant it root permissions. Then press Install/Update button. Then reboot.
3. Download the Per App Density Setting apk and install it.
4. Launch the Xposed Framework App then in the module tab, enable the Per App Density Module. Then reboot.
5. Launch the Per App Settings app and there you can now set per app density for all apps listed.
Galaxy S4 has a default dpi of 480, So if you want phabletUI for any app then set dpi to 320-380 and layout to 800x1080. For tabletUI try dpi value from 180-240.
I have tried phabletUI for some google apps like Playstore, Gmail and Google Now. You can try various settings and keep whatever suits you best.
I will share some settings I have tried later tonight.
Note: You can also try it with Multi DPI Stock apps shared by bala_gamer.
If not using above Multi DPI apps then don't try these settings with Samsung apps. for now. You will just end up with weird layout.
More Tweaks Here: For more tweaks like volume button skip music, status bar tweaks and many many more check out this thread!! It says that its only for At & T version but I have tested it on my I9500 its working fine.
I am just sharing cool stuff I find in this forum and I don't take any responsibility for any damage to your phone. So whatever mods you apply, always make a NANDROID Backup
Thanks to rovo89 and tungstwenty for Xposed Framework and Per App Settings. And special thanks to xperiacle, I have been using his mods in my Galaxy Note and if it wasn't him then maybe I wouldn't find this amazing app.
You can also use the smiley replacer.apk with the xposed app installer

You can't just edit notification bar dpi. For that you will have to change DPI of your phone. But Stock Samsung apps won't fit properly if you change Phone's DPI. You can find more information about changing phone's DPI here

I wish there were PhabletUI Samsung apps available. But if you want to change just the dpi and not layout then read the OP. There's a link for some Multi-DPI stock apps. And for the TabletUI of stock apps lets wait for 4.2.2 updates for bigger devices like Tab, Note 10.1, Note 8 so that we can try pulling apks from them.
Installed and working fine
is it possible to change phone DPI to custom and set app specific density for samsung apps? will this kind of layout works ?
Yes I know about it im using it from SGS3 and for SGS4 waiting only for modded TW launcher, thats why I was so curious if this will handle it without the need to use modded multiDPI apps. Nevermind as the multi TW launcher will be avaible I wont need Xposed. THX for reply anyway enjoy it

No it's more tricky with Samsung apps. If you want for example 320 dpi for Contacts app then first you need a contacts app of 320 dpi and then you can change density from this app, just changing phones dpi won't do it. You can find some of these apps in another thread called Multi-DPI Samsung apps. Check op for the link.
You can also try to pull apps from another phones like gs3 or note which have different dpi but I'm not sure about their compatibility with 4.2.2 roms.

Working Htc Blinkfeed on Galaxy Note

Xda Member gakugaku made possible to install the new Htc sense 6 Blinkfeed on any device.
I tried it on my Galaxy Note and it's amazing. We only need to change Blinkfeed's dpi to fit our screen properly.
This only works with Android 4.4.x Now I'm using the latest Biftor™SlimKat Rom and it's working fine on it.
It doesn't work with Art runtime, only Dalvik.
I post here the latest version of Blinkfeed by gakugaku:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Lj-ul49PJtTXNqaXpFQWJLcnM/edit?usp=sharing
http://www23.zippyshare.com/v/33915965/file.html
-Unzip the file and install apks normally.
(Root is not needed but we need a 4.4x Rom to make it work...so you can choose any Kitkat Rom for our device on Xda)
-If you will install Blinkfeed and weather, you'll find blinkfeed as launcher option, set it as your default launcher and close the others.
- Now, you will find the Htc weather settings in your rom/settings/account,(near the Google an Email ones), configure it.
If not, go to settings and add account.
-Pinch in any launcher's page and set the left most one (blinkfeed) as home...Htc clock and weather now must work.
(weather works only on Blinkfeed, weather apk itself doesn't work).
-Feeds are working too, you'll find other feed options (swipe on the left).
-Install Xposed module and Xposed app settings (thanks to xperiacle, take a look here to find them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081), open xposed, update all, enable App Settings module and reboot.
-Open App Setting app and set Blinkfeed dpi to fit screen properly.
I suggest these three options: 354 (the best for me), 367 (maybe too big), 264 (the small one...) but all of you can try and find a best dpi setting.
(Setting a wrong dpi number will mess up weather icon).
You can choose from Magenta, Green, Orange and Black (original colors), plus the new colors edited by gakugaku: Blue and Red.
All thanks to gakugaku(getting Blinkfeed to work) and raj_ch2002(weather)!

Hey..
Try this tutorial.
Its about editing build.prop via adb..
Set your DPI back to 160 by following the above tutorial.
Also remember that TouchWiz will not show right if
you change the universal dpi. A lot of the
Samsung apps, the dialer and the launcher itself
will be messed up.
Options are use an aosp rom, or Xposed and app
settings if they work in his device, and change
dpi for only certain user apps.
thanks to my buddy @KJ for the info.
Cheers.

Ported_Tab_4_8inch-4.4.4.TouchWiz_Launcher_&_SecTabletMyFiles2

Ported - Tab 4 8.0 inch - 4.4.4 Touchwiz Launcher for Note 8
What's this?
Did you hear the news? Samsung just updated T-Mobile's Tab 4 (8 inch - 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8) to 4.4.4!. I got the firmware downloaded from sammobile, I extracted, odexed and then ported this baby over to our beloved Note 8 tablet. This is brand new ported TouchWiz Launcher from 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8. I also made animation much smoother, and a few other improvement. Plus, I am including SecTabletMyFiles2.apk from 4.4.4 as well.
Download

In this version of launcher; same features with version 2.0, plus it now has Hide Apps/Shows Apps feature enabled.
Download Link : Moded_Tab4_4.4.4_SecLauncher3.v3.zip_by_Jazzespresso.zip
Install Instruction
This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!. This is only deodexed Samsung stock ROMs version 4.4.X such as Civato's FlexBurst or FlexNote ROMs.
Steps:
Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available
Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.
Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.
Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz app, and clear data and cache and reboot your tablet.
Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.
Known issue/bug:
Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.
Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.
p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.
Usage:
If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.
This is Brilliant. Downloading now ............
Thank you so Much :good: :victory:
Works Great.
Thank you very much.
But sorry if my question is stupid, is it possible to add "Phone" or other app replace "My files" in the left bottom of home screen?

This is brand new ported TouchWiz Launcher from 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8. I also made animation much smoother, and a few other improvement. Plus, I am including SecTabletMyFiles2.apk from 4.4.4 as well.

Install Instruction
This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!
Steps:
Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available
Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.
Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.
Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz home, and clear data, and cache and finally reboot your tablet.
Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.
p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.
Usage:
If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.

have you carefully read OP post? looks like not...
Known issue/bug:
Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.
Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.
is it possible to also port the settings app and the status bar menu and bar to the tab 4version ?
Launcher work perfect in stock Odex. Great job!!
Now, setting and status bar would be amazing.

For setting, you can try this if you are adventures enough - I would strongly recommend you to do full nandroid backup before you try this!
Download SecSettingsProvider.apk to your tablet's SD card from link below;
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001606446
In your tablet, go to root's system\priv-app, and make a back up of your current SecSettingsProvider.apk, and then rename current one like SecSettingsProvider.apk.backup.
Now, copy the one you download and push it to system\priv-app, and give permission to 644 and reboot your tablet.
and go settings and see...
Be warned that this has some bugs, one issue is multiwindow bar sometimes does not works... I still could not able to figure out why so.

that's tough to make it work, make sure you don't have odexed file for secsettingsprovider and secsettings...

for status bar, use S5 SystemUI theme exposed (search in XDA) or download it here :

Getting settings is though, but maybe getting System UI (status bars..etc..) would be possible
Nice work, but is it me or did i miss out something? My weather widget not in proper size. Thanks

Couple of things you can do here:
First option; try to go Settings --> Application manager --> All --> and locate the accuweather/weather app, click on it, and press clear data and clear cache. After that remove weather widget from home screen and reboot your tablet. And place the weather widget on your home screen and see it it is properly sized. If not, move on to second option
Second option; because we are using Tab 4's launcher, current accuweather/weather widget won't properly resized because that one is for stock TW launcher, therefore you need to find or hunt accuweather app from other Samsung devices, search in XDA and you will see there are many diffrent version for diffrent size, hopefully you will find one that fits nicely. If you think this is too much work, move on to third option
Third option; There's new Accuweather and Briefing Widget I ported from Tab 4 too, which I am using it and it has some additional features as well, so you can go here New Accuweather and Briefing Widget, and follow the install instruction.
