Description:
UI Tuner is a small app that can alter your phone's default window settings like density, screen size and overscan area without rebooting.
For overscanning, this picture from developer.android.com may help you understand what it is if you're not familier with it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's equelivant to setting overscan like this: 96, 54, 96, 54 [LEFT, TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM]
Note:
Changes persist after rebooting!
Based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP), this app works only on 4.3+
Changes cannot be reverted unless you reboot your phone and use this app or adb commands:
Code:
adb shell wm density reset
adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm overscan reset
Tested on:

Thanks for sharing! Works well on my S3 with CM11.
Works on an S5 running stock
A video showing this off would be awesome!
I'll give it a try on my Shield. Thanks for sharing your app.
Thanks!
HTC ONE M7 works fine.
Add the Russian language.
What about the permissions? Can anybody explain that?
Overall great app but I'm missing two things you could add:
1. Something that will restart systemui after applying settings
2. "flash-to-disable" zip would be also nice
[!] Belive me you don't want to set resolution to more than GPU can do :silly:
[Q] How to disable this from recovery?? I already removed it from /data/app and /data/data. I also wiped and reflashed system
Does it have a "Keep Settings" popup window (like windows etc) in case someone really screws up overscan?
EDIT:
Looking at the post above mine maybe it really needs something?
not for sensetion
not for now.
whats the difference between changing the DPI and changing the resolution???
you can't really change the resolution...
and it works fine on S2 Plus

I have no idea, setting my phone's density from 150 to 75 or 200+ didn't cause any problems, but I'll look into it, thanks for your feedback.
very interesting app
It also needs a help section where explain differences between overscan, screen size and resolution it also needs a option that we can decide if we want changes persist or not so we can play safe with the settings

I'm having the same problem on my OnePlus One (bacon), running 4.4.2 XNPH25R. It happens only when I change the resolution (when changing DPI or overscan the buttons still work). It's not really a huge problem for me because I can just enable softkeys, but it would be nice if you could look into it.

It looks like the same symptoms. I dont have a problem either. I pull down notifications, go to settings and launch my home launcher from there and everything works. It's just that in the Window Manipulator the keys are disabled.

So can you tell me how to disable it if I can't enter system. I don't want to wipe data. I'm using Nexus 7 2012 with cm11 m9. I'm able to use adb and fastboot it's just that my screen is black after boot only with statusbar and I can't do anything.

For rooted devices only
Update (Oct 20): Fixed a bug with busybox in the full version. This bug could cause booting problems because of a damaged build.prop file. Should be totally safe now when saving the density to the boot up density of the device..
(Lite version, see attachment, doesn't save the density setting and is therefore safe by definition)
App to change the density setting of the screen.
In short, by decreasing the density the display will create a high resolution effect by displaying more info on the screen. For example, with a density of 180 I get this on my Galaxy S screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
or
There is a extensive help file "on board" with some (important) info.
Free version
Is also a lite version and fully sponsored by adds. The lite version only makes it possible to temporarily change a density setting. This setting will be undone when you reboot the phone. It uses "hot reboots" and no "cold reboots". It doesn't rely on the build.prop density parameter. Should in principle work on all devices. The free version is attached to this post
Full version
Full version (no adds + with the possibility to save the density and/or write it to the build.prop + desktop widgets for fast loading temporarily saved density setting) can be bought from from the Android Market (0.75 Euro). Search for "LCD Densitiy Changer" or scan:

Yeah, not shocking, but it is what is under the hood that makes it worthwhile
Tips
tip1: If the dialer doesn't scale well with other density settings try dialer one
tip2: It seems that ADW Launcher can get the most out of a density change. By changing the amount of colums and/or rows of the desktop one has a better control how icons and widgets will display. Also a smaller density will allow you to add more icons to the desktop without any clutter or overlap.
tip 3: Devices that run a default default density of 240 (Nexus, Droid, Galaxy S etc), a density of 200 gives the best result. It's the best compromise of having more info on the screen and readability of that info.
tip 4: Beautiful widget center problem: see here for a possible workaround.
Link to "app-site" with some additional tips, tricks, help and some frequently asked questions: http://densitychanger.blogspot.com/
Any other tips about getting the most out of this great "Density tweak" are very much appreciated. I will add them to the first post and, if possible, I will incorporate them in my app.
Note for developers
To make your app support all density values (and don't have any scaling problems, even when compatibility mode is on!), select SDK Version 4 as your minimal target and add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
Code:
<supports-screens
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />
-----------------------------------
Thanks to xda-member jdsemler who discovered this density tweak on his Samsung Captivate.
bratfink for giving some very useful input
Cutefox for noticing that deactivating the compatibility mode solves the scaling problem (in most cases).
No go on motorola Dext using android 2.1.
Congrats on this one.. very handy and ease of use.
I have tried on my nexus one with modaco froyo on it.
It work very well on most of the apps; When you have a list of information (like gmail, sms, setting, post on Facebook, etc ) is perfect, in other case the program looks a little weird.
Some app don't take the whole screen (Setting of Digital clock widget) and in other cases the graphics looks a little to small (dialer and Kit auto).
It would be great to have the text in the list smaller to see more information without the problem on other application.
I hope that i explain myself well!
Great app!

Did you disable "Compatible Mode" in the Settings screen? This will fix the scaling issue in most of the apps. (It's in the help )

That's a pitty. But maybe you can explain what exactly doesn't work. Does the app not run? Can't you manage to get another density setting running?

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I first want to make sure that it doesn't cause boot problems on devices.
As for the density change, maybe it isn't possible to get lower than 160? Can you try a higher density like 180? (Not that nice... of course). If that doesn't work maybe your system files doesn't allow to set the density. If you can't manage to get in running on 180, maybe you can attach the build.prop from the system folder of your device. (maybe the problem can be found there).

Using Incredible - does not work for some reason. I changed it for 200, and rebooted. However when powering back up it goes back to default. I am ROOTED and SU popped up and granted permissions.

i do the test and post the result and the build.prop.
thx mate.
cheers.
For those for which the tweak doesn't work some background info:
The app changes a parameter in the build.prop in the system directory. The parameter that is changed is ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx. If the app doesn't work for your device please check the build.prop file. If the value of the parameter is changed to the value you entered in the app then somehow this parameter is ignored by the system, or the parameter is changed back at boot-time. (To exclude the last scenario, check the build.prop after you changed it with the app and before you reboot, and again after a reboot)
Another scenario is of course that the app just doesn't change this parameter. In that case there can be a busybox problem or last and I of course least simply a bug in my app.
On the Sprint EVO it is not working;
i've attached my build.prop from after changing the setting, before rebooting, and the second from after the reboot.
i had tried to set the value to 180.
i would love for this to work, let me know if you need any other info from me to help you out.

EDIT: found the problem. I placed an update in the first post (version 2.1). This version should solve your problem.
Others who had used the the app without succes should try the new version also!
Man for my problem, i find a workaround, i add the line ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx at the end of build.prop, aplied the density usin your app and it works.
This is great, works well on my Vibrant using touchwiz launcher. However, some widgets are resized smaller or distorted. You probably know this already though ^^. Will make a donation in the market.

Yeah the widgets .... I know. On the other side, it creates a whole new market for widgets Watch the market for some very expensive new widgets that will fit on displays with divergent density settings

Always Do A Full Wipe Before Flashing, This Avoids Any Issue With The Rom..
Happy Flashing !!
what difference there between this and miui v4 of @proxuser?
Proxuser won't be continuing on his miui port sadly due to personal reasons ...
BnD takes his legacy forward ..
Seeing the rest of the work of BnD, I am pretty sure it will be awesome.
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
dont know if its possible due to needing a cm7 base i believe but would you be able to include DSP manager in this or blindsmoke?
waiting to try this...bookmarking
waiting to see
Ah come on man! I installed BlindICE just yesterday
BUT I will gladly try it as well
Will this rom also have that weird bug/feature that text is white on white background?
miui gb had this and I had to change the "compatibility" mode for each app I installed.
Hey Guys !
Download Link Is Up..
Check First Post For DownloadLink and Changelog..
I am not a great porter as proxuser , yet I have managed to port MIUI 4..If the ROM has any issues and bugs , Please report.. I will try to solve it
Happy Flashing

no. looking at the changes made full wipe is best, not about who ported it thats irrelevant the change log is quite large for 2.5.4 ---> 2.5.11 and blindndumb has added batt tweaks etc your more than likely going to run into problem/bugs

Integrated somewhere deep within the ParanoidAndroid source, is a Hybrid Engine. The Engine that makes PA stand out of the crowd. The feature of Per-App-Density & Per-App-Layout. (PAD & PAL)
Now, it has expanded beyond, & offers independent customization of even more visual elements, such as Lockscreen, Widgets, StatusBar/NavBar etc.
The Hybrid Engine, is the source that powers it all. But to implement it we need something much more simpler, something that allows High-Level Control.
This is where ParanoidPreferences app comes in. (Abbv: PAPref)
This handy app interacts with the Configuration files, & allows to control any & all elements easily.
This guide for those who might need it. The App in itself is pretty self-explanatory, but to make it easier to understand, I've made a visual guide, explaining each & every part of the app in detail.
Feel free to ask any questions that you might have
--------------------Jargons--------------------
You might come across some terms that are commonly used across the app, & all over the threads & blogs.
I'll try to explain them briefly.
DPI: Dots Per Inch. As the name defines, DPI is the number of dots per inch of a screen.
In PA, we can modify DPI of any & every app or service independently (PAD).
Lower DPI value, would cause a general shrinkage, & higher DPI value, would cause the app to get bigger.
In general, we have a few standard DPI values:
xHDPI: 320 DPI | HDPI: 240 DPI | MDPI: 160 DPI | LDPI: 120 DPI
DP: DP, or DIP, is Device Independent Pixel.
On an Android device of 160 DPI screen,
Code:
1dp = 1px (pixel)
Hence, for a 320 DPI screen,
Code:
1dp= 1/2 px
& so on.
DP (or px) can be used to customize the layout of the app used. PAL is where we make changes in px of any app or service, & change its layout to Phone/Phablet/Tablet or any custom layout (wherever applicable).
We use some standard px values as: 360px: Phone Mode | 600px: Phablet Mode | 720px: Tablet Mode
NOTE: The examples used below & in all subsequent posts is of a screen with standard 320 DPI (xHDPI). Some values might differ for other standard DPI screens, but the theory remains same.

always compile paranoidandroid with . rom-build.sh devicename, or tell your dev to do that. make/lunch/brunch will not result in a functional rom. when youre done, try not to change your build.prop, the script does all that for you.
another thing is, hybrid engine needs a healthy system DPI. if you go and change ro.blabla.density it will simply shut down and refuse to work. this ones actually strange because i have seen many people so hung up on build.prop dpi they just cant stop themselves - hybrid engine can do all that regular tablet mode could in the past, even dropping all your apps into tabUI at once if you so desire - it does that without harming your system though (read, not changing the system dpi).
if its stillnot working then it can be fingerprint and signing issues. in that case only a fullwipe helps. when the rom is built clean from the beginning though all will work right out of the box, issues like that are born from wrong compiling.
Default size Default UI
Hi,
I am new to Paranoid Android but that hasn't stopped me from recognizing the innumerable possibilities it offers. I have a galaxy nexus International version and I was experimenting with almost everything, As you said, the Hybrid Engine needs a healthy UI rather than just any random number. Hence my launcher went into a crashloop upon changing orientation.
Another thing I would like to know is the basic difference between the System App Default Size and Default UI.
Also what are the safe values for the Galaxy Nexus.
What if I want to reset everything back to normal? I tried doing that through the given option but certain values remain overridden. Will I have to perform a full wipe?

YouTube app can't go any higher than 600px without crash
Hi
Thanks for the guide.
However, something disturbes me a bit when I use my Nexus 7 tablet. I have seen all those cool reviews with the YouTube app in tablet mode 800px-1200px, but mine can firstly only go to 800px - and when I choose it or 720px, it crashes!
600px is the only one I can choose - the phone app, which kinda sucks.
Can someone help me?

Being a first time PA user - this did help me a lot and I am quickly realizing just how powerful this hybrid engine is.
I appreciate the examples of how changing UI settings per app can change the layout (gmail, youtube).
Is there an ongoing list of apps that are affected by particular layout settings AND what the "recommended" or common UI settings per app are?
Thanks!
Try this

Hey! i had the same issue and I know how frustrating it was. Here's what to do. Go to Settings;Paranoid settings;INTERFACE...and on the right hand side you'll see:- Workspace UI, System Apps UI, User Apps default UI,...all of them being "Phone Mode". You have to change the last one, "User Apps Default UI" to TABLET MODE and reboot. Voila! Youtube in 3d!!

having the exact same issue on 2.54 ! :S
Was ok on 5.52 !? why ?!
if anybody can tell !
Thx
Hello, I love this ROM but I am trying to fine tune a little. I have everything in tablet mode, which works very well for me and I have my System apps default size DPI set to 196. This makes the icons a good size and fits them nicely on the screen but, I am not able to take advantage of all of the usable space on the screen. There is area at the top and bottom that I am unable to use, how can I maximize the space of the entire screen in tablet mode?
I've attached a pic to show the range of where I am allowed to place apps. There is a whole unused space at the top and bottom.
Great, great guide...
A must read to all who uses this rom.
CyanogenMod 10.1 (based on Android 4.2.2 "Jelly Bean") for the HTC Liberty/Aria/Gratia/etc
NOTE: Just to make this clear, this is UNOFFICIAL, and NOT supported by CyanogenMod.
Hboot 1.02 or higher is required! (Revolutionary or HTCdev unlock)
Bugs etc:
Gesture typing, Photosphere & voice recognition won't work (see notes below)
Built-in live wallpapers don't work
USB debugging verify (the popup when you plug into a new PC) doesn't work, so it has been disabled
WiFi & USB tethering don't work
Minor graphical glitches that don't happen every time
Camcorder doesn't work
Camera will force close if you have bad videos from the camcorder. Delete (or move) them to fix it
Camera app has graphical glitches (LegacyCamera won't build right now, and I would rather just fix the normal Camera)
Notes:
Android seems to now default to timer mode for button light(s), so they should turn on every time now, but will turn off after a few seconds of no input.
However the screen sometimes being at lowest brightness when turning it on still exists..
Gesture typing, Photosphere, and voice recognition: all require closed-source libraries from Google built for ARMv6, which don't exist.
I can't make any of these work unless Google does.

So it's time to port Ubuntu now, right? Even my new phone (Desire X) doesn't get CM 10.1 or even CM 10, cause we are waiting for kernel sources... I shouldn't have lost this phone...

That depends on if it has ARMv6 support... It runs on top of CM10.1 sources, but the Ubuntu-specific parts may not support it (like when I tried Boot2Gecko/FirefoxOS, the Android parts were fine, but Gecko didn't seem to have ARMv6 support)
I'll probably try and find out
Edit: Well all of Ubuntu doesn't support ARMv6, so that won't work.
But, Firefox OS hardware requirements say ARMv6 & Adreno 200 or better, so that's a good possibility (not sure if it wasn't supported back when I tried to get it working or if I did something wrong)

The GApps you flashed probably filled up the system partition, the Trackball wake script needs at least 1MB free space in the /system partition to work I guess.
Try a lighter/trimmed gapps.
In not a developer of this rom, but i installed and all works fine, i just want to share.

I did it but still no lucky, I also tried to hide the Google service, Google play service and Google frame work actually, but still got the same result!
Possibly flash presist.img will fix this but I cannot find the persist.img of Android 10 from the web, (I think it is noway to fine it because Pie is the latest official OS by Xiaomi)
Can I use Pie's persist.img?
Flashed this a few days ago, I've tried all the other roms now as I just like testing out roms. I've got an odd problem with this one though when playing YouTube videos in a browser they play all blocky with random colour squares I've not seen that before. Anyone else have that problem?
Does this have the same features as the Android 10 port?
Banking apps doesn't work
Neither banking apps nor Google pay detect the SIM card.

Like on MIUI 10/12 EU ROM (Android 9), normal temp is 34-35 and goes to 36-37 with medium use. Seen 37-38 on the current Android 10 custom roms and upto 39 with medium use; had similar experience with the early builds of Rev. Glad to hear they fixed that.
The battery issue might be due to kernel, if they can fix it with future updates; hopefully might make the switch. Almost forgot, last question, how much free RAM is available, when no other app is running in the background?
Again, ty for info

Thanks for the information about the temp.
And to the free RAM, in my experience, with same Apps installed on both EU ROM (android 9) and this one ( i have 84 apps ), there are 300Mb to 400 Mb difference, in my experience, EU ROM has almost 2G free RAM, in this Android 10, only 1.6 to 1.7G free after power on!
BTW, do you know how to change the icon to teardrop?
It keeps in same even though i changed it under developer options!

That's expected I guess, the newer versions usually eat up more RAM.
I don't think you can change it to tear drop using the stock miui launcher, might need to switch to a custom launcher or use a miui theme.

Yea, normally, new versions need more ROM, but it's totally acceptable! Especially it is EOL in Xiaomi!
And that's too bad, i usually use Lawnchain V2 as my default launcher and its easy to make the changes,, but after I found the stock Miui launcher had the "GoogleFeet' function too, I switch back to Miui launcher to save some spaces!
Anyway, it's okay to keep using the default icons! Not an issue!

Ya, after EOL, so wanted to switch to custom rom or the ported version. But, the battery drainage is a major issue in both.
Custom roms, still have few issues missing here and there. While the kernel causing a bit of heating issue is another factor. Hopefully, might wait a bit longer; before both are fixed.

Yes, just as you said, it's time to using customer ROM after EOL, and i am not a heavy user with smartphone, so some slight problems are okay to me!
