Hi Guys
Is there anyway to move the app draw and icons on the right of the screen down to the bottom of the screen , just feel that they are take up screen size
Many Thanks
RF
Try another home screen launcher
If your talking about the dock being on the right hand side in landscape mode thats reliant on the DPI of the screen. The dock on the bottom isnt supported on the stock DPI which is i think 330? I cant remember. You can, if your rooted and you want to have your dock on bottom in landscape you can change the DPI using textdroider DPI to like 220 or 240 and itll unlock most of the features of the 9/10 inch tablets.

Had a few issues with tower dwellers and pocket starship. The top of the screen was cut off on tower dwellers and pocket starships would crash after loading a area, also the chat at the top was cut off. Went back to stock and everything was fine. I barely play those games anyways so its not like it was a massive issue. But there do seem to be some issues.
oh and for some reason stylus wasnt being recognized on Star Wars Commander. That game sucks anyway and stylus isnt needed for it so w.e

Hey.
I found out that the Go launcher for tablets works for my phone and delivers the same icon size and menues as it gives for the actual tablets.
But when i open it i allways get the menu of either downloading the one buildt for phones or quit the launcher.
Is there any way to bypass that message to continue to use it?
Or is there other launchers that delivers tablet UI to my 720p phone?
(Htc One x rooted)
The phone version works fine. Why a tablet view?

Because i love a big desktop on a "small" high res screen.
Why not just max out columns and rows on the one that works better?
Because i want to have the same UI and look as an tablet on my phone, but i cant seem to go into the root system of the launcher to remove the block cause the folder for the launcher is nowhere to find -.-
I got nothing. Yours is a strange need. Keep closing the prompt until you figure it out. Or just do as above and lock screen into landscape view.

Alright, i now got my galaxy s4 with a 1080p screen, is there any new or old upgraded launchers that allows resizing of text, icon size and collum numbers to make it look like a tablet theme?
Or perhaps a tablet made launcher which also works on phones?

You can try TSF shell and use it in landscape mode and increase the number of rows and columns
Or get Apex Launcher, this is free in the play store and allows to use it in tablet ui for phones but i dont know which one it is the normal or pro which is paid, sorry

Hello,
I'm looking for an app that i had quite a long time ago, it had as option to have compatibility with older apps (meaning that apps that didn't go fullscreen on higher resolution devices, got upscaled to have the full screen covered).
Anyone know what app that was or has another app that can do the same?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have an Android, it should fit the screen regardless.
Yes i do have Android and no it doesn't, why would i be asking for it otherwise
What phone you have and what apps aren't fiting?
The Sensation, currently i have it with FF3 (Final Fantasy 3), 2 black borders on the side.
But older apps have this aswell (some just appear in a small screen with black area's in the bottom and side parts)
Like this with FF3:

Hmm.. this doesn't happen on my Droid 3 except on emulators, in which case it has to do with the original game having a specific resolution. Sorry I couldn't help
After searching some forums, i have finally found a post i made for a game that had this problem (Eternal Legacy HD).
The app is Spare Parts.
Thanks for trying to help tho!

when your phone is idle (screen is black) swipe you screen without touching it. shows you time, battery,calls, and messages. just a little thing i noticed
I'm stupid... Cant make it work
Sent via Tapatalk
make sure that you hover swiping the camera. you can tell it worked because the notification light will be blue. also check settings. it may be an air gesture
I finally got it to work It's in the air gesture settings.

You don't have to swipe - just reach towards the phone.
Also, it doesn't seem to work when docked/charging (still playing with that part).
Do these air gestures drain battery??
Also, I realized this particular function ONLY works if the device is sitting flat on the table. Man, Samsung really thought a lot of these features through lol.

Weird, but ok. It would be convenient to leave the screen off on the dock (since you can't STOP IT from turning off the screen after a while) and reach out for this...
Aha! It is an air gesture! I got it on... Now to get it to work...

Maybe it doesn't work for very vertical docks?

Wow, thought I wouldn't use any off these new features on the S4 but I find myself using them more & more and actually liking them
Hey XDA'ers,
I was just wondering if any of you know how to create wallpapers specifically designed for the Desire S. The current resolution I have (googled and found out I should use this, i think) is 980x856 or 980x850. Anyway, I want to design a wallpaper like PieUI, as follows :

}
See how the widgets fit right underneath the colored lines? I want to make a wallpaper like that for my Desire S. I'm not sure how to figure out Android grid sizes in Photoshop, so any help on doing so would be amazing. Might be nice to mention I want to do it for 3 Homescreens, if that makes any difference.
Thanks people, hope I was clear in my question. (I searched for threads on how to do this, but I couldn't find anything that explained it properly)
Peace!
Why don't you take a screenshot on the central home screen with some stuff on it and then use it as an under-layer for your design in photoshop, then remove it before saving your final version?

From what I remember, and I'm sure someone else will pipe up if I'm wrong, the screen of the DS is 480 wide by 800 high. When I used wallpapers compatible for scrolling they needed to be 960 wide by 800 high - 480 pixels in the centre for the main screen and 240 each side for the scrolling.

I thought about the pixel size when it went to landscape, i wasn't sure what the scrolling sizes needed to be (i just doubled the width, hoping it was right lol) I'm still messing about with wallpapers, trying to get a wallpaper/UCCW theme going on here. Proving to be a hassle, but ill get it Thanks for confirming the sizes man.
Found this post in the regular Verizon S7 section thanks to @jayochs. Cool little hidden feature and seems to work great so far. This will change the DPI from 640(stock) to about 540dpi. I'll show a few examples below, but the article will show even more and tell you how to do it.
Check out the XDA article located here :
http://www.xda-developers.com/there-is-native-dpi-scaling-hidden-in-the-galaxy-s7/
Examples:
Standard View

Yeah I think it gives the phone a lot cleaner look. But that's just my opinion.

I am used to altering DPI with root access, so this find was a godsend.
You can alter DPI through ADB without root access, btw.
This is good though. Could go lower though. I have text size at the lowest settings and turned this on. The notification bar is still a little too big.
Not sure if its worth screwing with though
I did this with Nova Launcher and I really like it. Definitely helping the S7 edge grow on me a little more.
I did this with Nova launcher as well but it didn't seem to stick for the touch wiz launcher. Everything else is condensed
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I really wish they had a Super Condensed mode. I'd like to run it around 500.
I do like having this to be able to quickly (with one reboot) toggle back to a density that will allow Samsung Pay to work.
After doing this with Nova Launcher I noticed that I don't have smooth scrolling when I hit the recents button
Just FYI to those who don't know... you can change your DPI through ADB without root.
I feel the condensed mode and already low stock DPI is enough.
The 7 Edge has 5.5" @ 640 DPI
The LG G4 has 5.5" @ 640 DPI
The Note 5 has 5.7" @ 540 DPI
Add condensed mode and its smaller. So I am happy with the stock/condensed values.
Doing this also kills android pay which socks, I want to reduce DPI but still use android pay
I switched to condensed DPI and Android Pay is working for me still.
Edit: Nevermind. Tried adding a card to it and says nope.. :\
HBO GO working for anyone else after changing dpi?
