[Q] Games too wide for screen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok So All Of A Sudden, My Games (Injustice, Uno & Worms 2) Are Too Wide For My Nexus 5 Screen. I'm Rooted Running Cataclysm + Franco. Things Were Working Just Fine. Then I Installed Xposed Installer With 3 Modules (Swipeback, XUI Mod And XBlast) I Played Worms (After Installing Those Modules And Modifying A Bit) And Things Were Still Fine. A Few Hours Later, I Tried To Play Worms And It Was Way Too Wide For The Screen. Same Thing With Injustice And Uno. My Spades Game Isn't Too Wide Though. I Tried Looking In Cataclysm ROM Settings, Then In The Settings Of Each Module For Something I Might've Changed Relating To Screen Size But I Found Nothing. Then I Uninstalled Those 3 Games And Reinstalled Just Worms To See If It Would Work But It Still Was Too Wide. Idk What Else To Do. Help Please.

I Checked Again, There Isn't Anything In The Mods That Say Anything About The DPI Settings But I Give Up, I'm Just Gonna Restore My Backup And Start Over. Hopefully, If It Happens Again, I'll Catch What Happened/What I Did. Thanks Though.

Go easy on that shift key, friend. It's hard to tell where your sentences begin and end when you type like this and defeats the purpose of having capitalization in our written language.

I got a headache reading this. Where do people write like that? I'm curious. And you probably changed the DPI to something that the game doesn't support.

[Q] no download link in market

Hey everyone, I want to preface this with apologies if this indeed happens to be an issue previously resolved, i just cannot for the life of me seem to find any info on the subject. This is a big problem for me. For a frame of reference I am running CM7 with Fauxs kernel with the newer looking market update. Dont know when i got this update, just kinda happened, but then you know, i hate it. First of all i cant figure out how to browse all the apps like i used to. In the old market i could browse everything and see if i wanted to mess around with stuff. Now they only show the tops in certain categories or you have to search for it yourself. Hate that. Also, i am having an issue with downloading apps. The little blue download button is just not there on most apps and I am failing to figure out a reason why. some apps have it some dont. some will have it one day and not have it the next. I am really confused and need help. If you know whats wrong with me Id appreciate a hand!
Thanks,
Depressed Android User
Hmmm still having a difficult time seeing what the problem is. The only solution i can think of is to re-flash the latest CM7 Rom along with the latest gapps and make sure to wipe factory data, cache, dalvik, format/system, and fix permissions.
Hope this helps. But when i mess around with my phone too much and do something stupid, this method always works for me. Good luck sir.
I have the exact same problem. Im running GB on my g2x.

sooooo happy im not the only one with this problem, i dont feel like such an idiot anymore. I install clean everytime i install. I wonder what is causing this as some apps have download links while others do not. If anyone wants to try something, look up "sixaxis compatibility" see if you can download and install, that is the latest app to give me the issue

Yup on mine it shows the download button.
Try this. Go to settings, Applications, select Market and clear cache and clear data. After that re-open Market and see what happens.

Some apps has compatibility issues therefore no diwnload link would appear. Try native android lcd densities like 160 or 240 and it should work.

ok changing to 160 to see if that works. By the by, what device uses 160 as native res?
edit: 160 worked for the sixaxis app. crazy how that works. now if i could figure out how to get my status bar to look alright in this 160 format id be stoked hahaha
Edit 2: by the way, hahhaha i went back to 240 just to see what its like, i can barely function! everything is soooo big! at 200 i have fat screen real estate and the icons and such are much more comfortable on my eyes. its nicer to have more line items on the screen too, like in my music apps, more artists and less scrolling. win

Download Eris Market Fix. It fixed all my links. Great little program. It was designed for a Droid Eris, but it definitely works with the G2x.

Yes it is.
When you select a category, swipe the list to the left or right to view top paid, top free, most recent, etc. Is that what you were looking for in terms of viewing all apps?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
For people who say they can't browse. You know you can swipe the screens left and right to see all the lists like you used to? And now it has top NEW paid and top NEW free which IMO is WAYYY better than it used to be.

Change DPI? possible?

hi. i was wondering if it is possible to change the DPI of this phone...
i play a game called heroes of order and chaos and before this phone i had galaxy s2, where the screen was smaller, and it was easier to play the game cause the skills buttons were larger cause of the screen resolution.
is it possible to change the DPI? or maybe just the DPI of the game app?

Yes there's apps to do it (like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi), personally I do it with build.prop myself. Find the line ro.sf.lcd_density= and put in the number you want, 240 is what I used to use but now I do 200. If you install Xposed, there is a module called App Settings that will allow you to do it on a per app basis, I use this on my roomies' S5 to keep the Sammy apps from borking.

The build.prop is found in /system and that is the file that textdroider would change, so whether you change it manually or through an app it will have the same outcome.
I've never had a bootloop from a dpi change on the Motorola, the S2 would be different because Samsung apps and Touchwiz only play nice with the stock DPI. As with any system change, you should backup if you are worried about it

DPI Changer S5

Thought you all might like a little more room. This app is amazing! I tested it on 360!!! If you go lower I cant tell you what happens. I tested from 480 all the way to 360 and I have to say 360 works the best!
Please Thank me if you like this find!
DPI Changer
Did this not change your dialpad? I change dpi manually and anything under stock made the dialer wrong.
Just checked. Ya same here. I don't mind I just have more room on the home screen. I just know this was the best setting for Gallery. If I remember right it did the same to the Dial pad too on my Note 3. That was the only bad thing.
PS Camera is a little smaller too.

Ya seems that AOSP was never struck with this issue, only Touchwiz based roms. I use Nova to get around the homescreen sizing.
Thanks for the share. I will have to give it a try.
I have been using the xposed module app settings. Nice module for anyone who is not familiar. Allows settings for dpi, force full screen, etc on a per app basis which is good I think as some apps I have a different dpi than others.
I agree with your thoughts on 360 for this device.

I tried it down to ~150, things got really small.
~120, and systemUI FC'd so badly I had to ODIN back to stock.
Has anyone figured out a way to force the dialer and the camera back to the right 480 dpi? I cant seem to figure out how to do it even in the xposed module App Settings, I can set it to 480 in there, and it still opens fullscreen, but not sized properly.
Thanks.

Haven't had much luck using any of the dpi changer apps. Also when I try to change it manually the ro.so.lcd_density line in my build.prop isn't there, dont know if thats how its supposed to be but adding the line doesnt change anything. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

The new line for the S5 is ro.sf.lcd_density=480. It is already in the build prop file if you haven't found it yet. Just change the 480 to whatever size your after as usual.

Hmm that's strange. I will say that the line in my build prop is earlier in, than in the past with other devices. As soon as I start scrolling I'll go though some # signs than it is the second line past them.

No actually at&t s5, maybe thats the issue. Ill try asking around in the att forum.
Hmm wouldn't think that the build props would differ as far as basic device info, but maybe. Defiantly keep info posted here if you figure something out just for our future reference.
Well, just for kicks tried to add the line again and lo and behold it worked lol. So for future reference, if you are missing the lcd density line in your build.prop, adding it to the bottom works.

[Q] HELP me get rid of Google Now triangle from lockscreen

Guys,
Can somebody tell me how can I remove that little triangle showing in the bottom center of the lockscreen that is used to launch google search ??
It actually is interfering with my Home button on the Navbar as it doesnt disappear after unlocking and in turn shows up behind the Navbar Home button. I have attached the screenshot for your reference (Look at what I have encircled in red in the bottom center of the screen).
I am using Omnirom on my N5
Let's start with "what mod/app did you install on top of your ROM that gave you that little triangle"? The stock ROM doesn't seem to have that.
Ummmm... I dont think i installed any such mod which could have enabled this.. Can you suggest me something???
And the stock omni has one.. I just checked it out.. check the 2nd pic in the attachment in the link that you posted.. Can you see that triangle?

My guess would be it's a bug in the ROM. That arrow is only supposed to be visible on the lockscreen when you don't have a navigation bar. What happens when you tap on the triangle? Does it function as the home button or not? Is there anything in the Omnirom settings to configure the nav bar?
I would say either take it to the Omnirom thread and see if anyone else is having the issue or try flashing another ROM.

I don't think it has anything to do with Omnirom as I'm having the same problem and don't have Omnirom. I'm just running Xposed and Gravity Box and this stupid little arrow has been driving me nuts for about six weeks now.
I though it might have to do with NotificationMod Xposed module so I uninstalled it but it still appears.

If you are, we can try and see which modules we have in common.
Also, I just remembered I messed up flashing something last week and had to factory reset and the arrow is still appearing so it's definitely a bug in some app.

I've disabled SoftKeysFadeMod and am going to look through GEL Settings to see if there's an option to disable GN on lock screen.
I'll probably put my money that SoftKeysFade is the issue.

You have multiple mods that have to do with the navbar. Any one of those could be causing the problem. Try disabling them and reboot.

Apps reloading themselves upon opening??

Youtube, and seemingly a bunch of other apps lately have been refreshing themselves upon reopening them ...
See the video for an example..
What's causing this? Really annoying..

well, the very first thing im gonna ask you to do is completely remove all xposed, and everything having to do with it. xposed can come with too many undocumented issues, so its always best to remove anything xposed before trying to resolve issues. it could even be xposed causing it.

ok, reflash your rom, dirty(dont wipe anything), without franco kernel. why reflash the rom? because franco kernel leaves stuff behind. and dirty so thst you dont lose any data.
I'm pretty sure this is standard behavior for YouTube, to refresh the videos. It happens on all my devices. Do you have an example of this happening on an app other than YouTube?

YouTube intentionally does it for sure. Maybe the other app you saw it happen with is the same.
Now with Lollipop this is much worse. Even on light multitasking my apps keeps reloading when swithcing to them... Why google why..
Frustrating.
Edit: the irony: just had the google play music app closed + stock launcher closed (and other apps: massive kill). When i got back to chrome this one was killed too.
Great.

I really don't seem to have this issue on lollipop. I did on kk.
Sometimes if i launch an app from LMT pie, it starts it as a new activity, where as from recents it goes to the last known state. I'm not having anything killed off though

Well, it was so bad that actually all the time I switched to an app (including launcher/homescreen) it just reloaded. And in Settings > Apps > Running many apps were in a Restarting state.
It seems that Lollipop has some memory leaks, I need to reboot the phone after couple of hours.
This is not an isolated issue, see:
