Hello i just want to share an article i ran into which allows you to change the DPI on the s7 without having to root.. ? i take no credit just sharing in case some one wanted to change their dpi.
http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-dpi-scaling-setting-680736/
It worked! Awesome find ?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Great find, thanks for sharing.
Not as good as having xposed and changing dpi per app, but this is great until root is achieved. Thanks.

Just curious, do you use Android Pay over Samsung Pay by choice, or is your cardholder not yet supported?

I didn't get the Galaxy Gear because I am not very proud of it's battery life, but if there is one thing that i'm really jealous of is their ability to root and have custom ROMs. I'm just starting to learn development and it might take me some time to get to the point where i can create a root for a new device, but i'm ready to pay somebody to do it for me.
What i would like to be achieved is a custom rom that allows us to rearrange icons, change the Bluetooth icon color, because when the phone disconnects and the icon grays out, there is not much of a difference. Something that allows us to have custom clocks with weather, or a notification badge, or other stuff that this watch lacks and that could be fairly easily implemented by Sony. I am aware that there are some limitations to Sony SDK and due to poor LCD resolution, but something is better than nothing. All i'm saying is i'm not expecting CM11 on this
I pledge 25$ to the cause
Bounty now at: 25$

no, but thats not the point. The watch is tethered to a phone thats running android and that can push information to the watch. The gear has some custom OS is possibly based on android 4.2, i'm sure the SW2 is not so far from that either
I'm not nerdy enough yet to confirm if this is possible, but i'm sure there is something we can do
Yes the gear actually runs android and can run apps natively. Thats the whole reason you see a custom rom. the gear is no where near that capable and doesn't have the luxury of already having an android base.

I'm sure there is something we can do regardless of what OS it's running

Thanks To be honest - I am little bit afraid about HW capacity required for running Android. On the other side - I see enough space for SW optimization. If I compare it to old fashioned PalmOS devices.

There is no way on this planet i am donating even a penny to a dev that has an app called "i am rich" that cost 200$ which does nothing except steal money away from people. I do not trust some weirdo that has no reputable work and claims he can port android to a smartwatch... Especially if you check out the poor coding skills he uses for his other apps. This guy is a hustler, i can teach my grand mom to code a better app using eclipse than him

I emailed the dev of this app. Seems like a scam sadly enough. Was looking if they would post any type of progress thread or link any info as to what they had accomplished up til now. They replied with an muddy response stating their progress had been stalled but they would surely still accept a donation *surprise, surprise* and linked their bitcoin address. Seems shady to me. Be wise

The Smartwatch can not and will never run a full Android since it uses a microcontroller cpu that is not made for this kind of usecase (ARM Cortex-M3 at least in the smartwatch 1 not sure which CPU is used in the Smartwatch 2 but i suppose it uses the same or similar cpu)
I reported this Donation app to google. Not sure if they agree with me that this is fraud but it is very obvious.
Everyone who researches a bit would know that it is impossible.
the 200$ app however i think i can't report since they deliver exactly what they write. nothing but a expensive app that does nothing.

Yea I think that feature was done on the stock samsung broawaer . It appears for whatever dumb reason verizon removed the samsung browser. Only way you can log into Web sites using the scanner is by downloading and setting up last pass. We get 3 months free from the galaxy gifts promo. I'd rather just use the stock browser thoigh.
There must be a way to download the stock browser?

Thanks. I'm glad somebody here wanted it and got to use it, rather than have it just go to waste.
It's been running great for me. It's really a surprisingly awesome phone, especially for the price. I can understand why "Android purists" may not like EMUI, but you can really mask a good chunk of that between using both a theme and a third party launcher.
And no, I didn't root mine. Don't really have a need for root anymore these days, thanks to Adguard. (Previously, AdAway was the only thing left that kept me rooting my phones).

It blocks ads in Web browsers and apps on Android. And it works just as well as AdAway, from my experience.

Blocking ads is the only thing I was still rooting my phones for in the past, but with Adguard that's no longer necessary (for me anyway).

Hey guys
Just thought I'd start a discussion for all the Good Lock fans here.
Good Lock basically gives you the ability to customize your Galaxy phone even further, it's almost like being rooted in some cases. If you're not familiar with here's a cool video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18DwNQSGwPY
Most of the users in the united states and Canada should be able to download it via the Galaxy store however since it's geolocked and might not be accessible in other countries here are some cool alternatives.
NiceLock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648
BadLock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/app-t3805969
You can also APKs right here: Sammobile APKs: https://www.sammobile.com/apk/
Please feel free to contribute.
Enjoy! :good:
Not only in us and canada. It can also be downloaded in india
Here in The Netherlands I am unable to find it in the Galaxy Store.
I have tried a few apks but always getting this error.
Does this mean I won't be able to use Good Lock ever, or could it be an issue that will be sorted?

Hasn't been an issue since Good Lock 2018. That I know of. The original Good Lock from 2017 was super beta and had all types of bugs. The only bug I found is that the app slider doesn't work if you use the module that changes the recent cards.
