Just purchased a Android smart watch . it's a no1 d5 Chinese watch. Running Android 4.4 .not Android wear. So some apps tend to cut off and don't fit the circle face. Is there a way to resize the operating system. Maybe a app to make all the apps smaller resolution or round like the watch face. Any help I will appreciate thanks.

Hello
Please note I will only be choosing the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Metallic Blue) but I might still choose the iPhone 5 (if it's worth it)
I have a iPhone 4 and I am contemplating going over to Android.
My first smart phone was a Nokia 5800 (well First one I customized had the N70 & N73)..... now I'm using the iPhone.
I understand that flashing fw to cfw was how one did custom roms on the Nokia's, and of course jail breaking is for the iPhone. So I figure rooting is for Android. ?? is it easier to root than to jailbreak ??
I would also like to know if these options are available for Android,
Custom tones for all tones (email, battery warning, alarm... etc.)
Multiple wallpapers for pages, custom page transitions.
page transition sounds (not on iPhone as far as I know, seen on pip-boy Android theme)
Hardware wise How does scrolling and touch feedback compare on Android compare to iPhone (specifically Galaxy S3 to iPhone 4) can it be done on Android ?
I listen to music in my car via an aux cable headphone input cable when I unplug the cable the player stops.... I love that feature, and the activator app that allows you to customize gestures and button presses for apps (like double press of the sleep button to skip a song)can it be done on Android ?
I know there are apps that allow you to hide icons on the home screens and lock screens on iPhone, can it be done on Android ?
Basically I understand that Android should be easier to customize than iPhone......
Lastly I would like to ask If the users that are on Android that have used iPhone's, And those that have gone from iPhone to Android, will I be happy ?
I love tinkering with tech...
How is the scratch resistance on the Galaxy S3 ?
Are screen protectors really needed ?, I have been using my iPhone 4 for
Almost a year and 7 months, hardly any scratches on the back - none on the front, and it lives in a pouch (no screen protectors)
That's all I can think of for now... Will add more questions soon
Another question.... I see on the screenshots thread that the "status bar (iphone) " barckground on the Android is black, can one make it clear (like on the iPhone) ? (or better yet move it's location.. say the bottom of the screen ?)
Oh and can one hide fonts ? and if you can, can you hide the shadows of the fonts ? (can be done on iPhone)
As stated above Please note I will only be choosing the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Metallic Blue) but I might still choose the iPhone 5 (if it's worth it)
Take a look at some of the custom roms already out for sgs3 and you will see just what can be done, google samsung s3 roms as a starting point.

hi everyone
i just recieved my oneplus one and i've noticed that the recent app interface was way too big for my taste : only 3 apps fit on a 5.5" display
do you know if there is a way either to get the android 5.0 style (with staking cards) or to make the recent apps smaller
thank you in advence
1. Change your DPI to something less (e.g. 480 to 380).
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaydvl.idealthemes.light for Android L "cards" recent apps.
Hey guys,
I would like to know which vector design apps are the MOST POWERFUL with a LOT of features on Android? For example, desktop photoshop has a feature that curves texts, and this is a very uncommon feature for mobile art app cause they are pretty much lacking a lot of features. iPad has many more featureful apps in this area, but I want to buy an Android tablet because I design and publish themes for Android, and I want to stick with this OS for my phone and tablet to keep up to date.
I tried Medibang, but it seems to lack some important features like drop shadow and outline, but I don't know if it's just that I can't find it. I tried Autodesk Sketchbook as well, but that one is mostly drawing, and not creating logos, icons, etc.
So, what is the MOST POWERFUL vector designing app for Android tablets/phones?
Does Galaxy Note devices come with an app like this? How featureful is it, compared to desktop level apps like photoshop?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Hello everybody,
I would like to use my D5 as a smartalarm but I wasnt able set up alarm on these watches because of rounded display. I wasnt able to see all parts of display (some parts were hidden).
Could you help me with some free way how to user smartalarm apps on these watches?
Thank you
you can use control app from pc to watch and configure most apps even ones that are not for round screens like: Mobizen screen control
Hello,
I am visually impaired and I want to use a tablet as a phone, because everything looks bigger on a big screen.
But some apps look different on a tablet than on a smartphone.
They show more content on one screen if you use a tablet than if you use a smartphone.
If you then set large fonts and an enlarged display, elements overlap in the display.
Is it possible to use a tablet as a phone and make the app believe, that it is a smartphone when it is a tablet?
My smartphone is rootet and I have already tried some things.
I have changed ro.build.characteristics=tablet to "phone" (build.prop)
But that did not help.

Change DPI. Lower means bigger. You can adjust that in developer settings, in the "smallest width". Play with that number until you find the good value. Keep in mind, every restart will reset that value to default.
Note that the Android's window size and the device's screen size are not the same. . For example, the area within the window that is used by an app can change if the window becomes too big to fit on the screen.

BTW:
Smartphones usually have a screen measuring between 3.5 – 4.3 inches. The screens of tablets measure between 7 – 10.5 inches, they look like a large smartphone but with additional capabilities

That is right. Tablets look like a large smartphone. The screen of my tablet has three times the space of the screen of my smartphone. This could mean, that everything is three times as big as on my smartphone. But that is unfortunately not the case.
If you then set large fonts and an enlarged display, elements overlap on the display.
I would like to have a tablet, that behaves identical to a smartphone and everything on the screen looks exactly like on the smartphone, only three times as big.
The tablet knows the physical size of the screen. Otherwise it would not know the ppi-Value. Does anybody know in which file this information is?
Maybe the tablet knows the physical size of its screen ( screen size ), but that's absolutely not of any interest in your case: it's Android's window size ( viewpoint - resolution ) what matters.
You have to find the suitable combo of PPI related to resoulution ( window size ). Both values
wm size
wm density
can get set in Android's system file
