I don't think is possible since it requires build.prop tweak

you should be able to do the adb shell size or density not rooted... may cause issues with bootloops though so watch out...
theres also a toggle under the settings-home for a larger grid on the stock launcher which essentially makes it larger however unlike a samsung phone this setting doesn't reflect if you are using another launcher other than stock

'adb shell wm density XXX' did work for me, but unfortunately the only density I can get to work other than the default 640 is 540. Any other usual value causes the com.android.phone app to crash repeatedly.

adb shell wm size should work and not cause app crashes... only issue with it is that you have to keep messing with it to find the best setting

I wanted to try this, but I'm not seeing anything when I enter "adb devices". I can browse my phone through Windows explorer though.

I figured it out, turn on USB Tethering.
Edit: You can also set USB mode to Midi Device.

using this method messes up many applications, including the Always-on Display.
have to edit the build.prop file to change it properly.

560 works fine for me. Only slight issue is the maps navigation popup for turning. The icons a little off center

[Tweaks] some build.prop tweaks

been playing around with build.prop tweaks today. here's some that i have had good results with:
setting dalvik to 64
yes, that's high, but, switching screens on the homescreen has been a lot smother. you may have some issues with smaller apps, if so, try a lower setting. stock is 42, 48 may work good if you have a lot of smaller apps.
i also added these, so far so good, no problems. these are older tweaks, but they seem to be working here, but it's hard to tell
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
locks home in memory
Code:
ro.media.enc.JPEG.quality=100
makes pics display at 100% quality
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
enables hardware rendering of UI and home
take caution when editing build.prop. the file is located /system
do not delete or change anything else if you don't know what you're really doing.
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Disables the boot animations

Do you know if that works with 3rd party launchers (i.e. is HOME_APP whatever is linked to the home button, not hard coded to the moto home app)?
Wow, nice work guys. Quick question, does disabling the boot animation = faster boot time.

Not sure. You will still have the android boot animation. You just won't have the AT&T boot animation

I tried using the these settings and it bricked my phone. Just FYI for anyone thinking of trying them out.
I think it has to do with the hardware rendering setting, because when I boot the video is very distorted and slow. It then goes black and vibrates every few seconds and I can't get it back. Restore to factory default was no help at all.
Any thoughts on how I might get this thing running again?
here's the stock build.prop
if the device will power on, extract it from this zip and try to adb push it to /system
not sure how these settings would brick your phone though. are you sure you added them to build.prop and not default.prop? did you change anything else in build.prop?
Yeah, I only added the options listed in the forum post, and didn't change anything else.
The first thing I tried was shelling into the phone using adb, but it didn't work at all in the state the phone was in. After restoring to factory defaults I was able to boot and get the initial setup screen for the phone where it asks you to add your email accounts, etc., but when clicking "done" the app would crash and restart effectively locking me out of the phone.
I'm assuming the crash is because I de-bloated the phone previously, and maybe it's missing a system library? Who knows.
In any case it looks like I may be taking a trip to the AT&T store

Thats odd. A factory restore would have overwritten any changed files and added any missing apks from /system

Did you use a text editor on the phone or on a computer? If you use one that word wraps it will fubar the whole thing.
Here's a list of build.prop tweaks I found searching around, I haven't tried any myself yet, but hey, the more the merrier, right?

i used an on the phone editor. windows editors will wreck it, linux editors are fine with build.prop though. not sure what the member who bricked his phone used.
I just tested the boot animation setting with a stopwatch and it's pretty much the same time one way or the other.

I did in fact use my phone to edit the build.props file (instead of using adb shell). I used the text editor feature of root explorer. I didn't notice the text wrap on the screen or anything like that when I was typing. I suppose that could've been the culprit.

root explorer is fine, that wasn't your problem. i use root explorer as well. i think that either something else was changed, or something else is the problem.

That's one thing I hope can be modded once the bootloader gets unlocked. My X10 showed the contact pics the top 1/3rd of the screen and the quality was very good, would be nice to see something similar on this phone.

[Q]Crazy Wallpaper Issues[Q]

This is starting to really frustrate me now!
When applying a background to my phone, weather it be from the Gallery or integrated wallpapers, sometimes it will jump around on the homescreen. For example I will be in an app, press the home button and on going to the home screen the wallpaper will momentarily zoom in then zoom back out to normal. As this is happening the phone has excessive lag.
I've tried to isolate the issue, thought it might be a bad factory reset but my sister is over this weekend and hers is the same! it doesn't happen when running any applications in particular, it's literally random but when it starts doing it it will keep doing it. Restarting the phone doesn't fix.

It's all good. First you'll need adb to be installed. I usually run adb on ubuntu, so I'm not experienced with windows commands.
On ubuntu. open terminal, connect phone, make sure usb debugging is enabled. You'll probably recieve a warning about an RSA fingerprint, which you will accept. Then in terminal, do
sudo su
adb start-server
now cd into whatever directory you want to store your logcat in
Once in the directory, run "adb logcat -v long > wallpaper.txt"
Reporduce the problem
Kill the logcat
Open the text file that was created
Either upload the file or pastebin it and post the link
Done!

Doesn't that require root? Not 100% how to do that though, I used to be pretty good with ADB but unfortunately that was back in the Desire days and I've not really been into rooting since I got my HOX last year I change devices too much. Anyway, here is the video documenting the issue.

And you said your entire family is experiencing this? Ok go to about phone and tap Build Number a bunch of times. Should activate dev settings. Just see if you can get adb to work at all. I'm not certain whether it requires root or not. It confuses me that your family all has this problem, but it hasn't been reported by the rest of the Nexus 5 users around the world...

Well I have to go out right now but I will try when I get back in. I'll do a Google Search and see if i can find how to.
You could try wiping data for your Home launcher. Just go to Settings/ Apps then swipe to " All" tab and open Google Search. Wipe its data and it will reset your launcher to default. See if it still persists.
I'd say it's because the launcher wasn't designed to have many additional screens as shown.
Looks like it's redrawing the launcher after leaving and returning to it.
Try getting rid of the extra home screens and retest.

that's alright, I was just stating what I had read else where.?
My phone phone was doing this, but I figured out that it was an issue with how you zoom or place the wallpaper when applying it. When I applied with zedge, it was causing problems. Are you using a 3rd party app to find and apply wallpapers? Try switching by long-pressing a blank area on your home screen, and hitting wallpaper.

I actually just managed to replicate it. To fix it, try this... First select one of the stock wallpapers that came with the phone, using the stock method I mentioned above. Then test, your problem should be 100 percent gone. Then go to change your wallpaper back to the one you want, but do NOT select it from where it is on the bottom bar. Hit 'pick image' and then choose the wallpaper you want. Before you hit the check mark in the upper left hand corner, make sure the wallpaper is centered and fully zoomed out. That should fix it.

PSA: Don't change the DPI

For some reason, LG likes to stick with 640 dpi as their default. Personally, I prefer 560 dpi on a screen this size.
Anyway, one can usually use adb command to change the dpi. However, on the V10, it looks like trying to use any dpi other than 560 results in System UI crashing constantly.
Don't make the mistake I did. I'm completely stock and changed the DPI without saving the SSH key in USB debugging. Hence, after a reboot System UI crashed constantly and I could reconnect via ADB because the confirmation dialog couldn't be shown. Ended up having to Factory Reset via buttons. (Power + Vol Down, Release Power then Hold Power again when LG logo appears.)
Thank you sir.

Check the camera out after you do it.
using a non rooted method can be flakey going by G4 experiences.
This is becoming a problem on other larger screen devices as well, the UI is made as if its for a smaller screen just blown up.
I finally installed xposed today and with the App Settings module, you can set the DPI per app instead of system wide. I set the home launcher to 600 and it's been fine so far. I prefer 540 but haven't tried it yet. I also changed call setting from second screen to pop up so the second screen doesn't FC when receiving a call. Hopefully this module will help others who don't like the giant icons on the default 640 setting.
You can install Xposed without being rooted? That's news to me
*Edit* My bad, just seen tmobile is rooted
@Raztrax how did you change the setting for the second screen to pop up?

This could be a temporary fix
Runing Nova try: "Adb shell wm density 550". Works like a charm! (As long as you dont reboot)
If you do reboot, wait for the UI to FC and then change DPI back to 640 wait for the boot to finish and then change it back to 550. Nothing is broken. You do get some minor changes in the date at the second screen but it still works perfectly.

You can get around the issue by using the APP Settings app from xposed. Search System UI, change it to 640 and save. Then use Textdroider, and enter the DPI of your choice. When you restart, your system UI will still be 640 and won't crash, but the rest of your apps will be the DPI you chose.
I personally like the big icons all around even on the battery icon and signal icons and I'm not sure why they shrinked the ui in this phone completely because everything looks so small even the apps anyone know how to make it all bigger?

I tried the App Settings in the Xposed Downloads area, and the 1.11v made by someone on XDA for Lollipop (apparently 1.10 doesn't support LP). I tried changing the camera app back to 640 DPI using both apps but neither worked. Which version are you using and exactly how are you doing it? Once I changed my DPI with Texdroider, I had to go through hell of restoring the phone (reflashing system.img - the build.prop backup didn't work at all for some reason). Also what DPI are you using?
@Nitemare3219-What are you trying to change? If you change the dpi of Nova (haven't tried stock launcher yet), you can do so with Nova. I have mine set at 480, no issues at all.

When I was messing with DPI (shell wm density) I tried keeping the Camera app at 640 - didn't seem to work. I'm not sure if I should be trying to use wm density or a DPI app to change build.prop. Going to test both I guess since I'm about to make a backup.
Editing the build.prop didn't work for me, I haven't tried the other way yet, as I'm happy with changing dpi of Nova.

Launcher is the last thing I needed changed. Apps weren't showing enough stuff at all! lol. After installing Xposed and using App Settings (worked this time - get v1.11 from XDA for Lollipop) to keep certain system apps including systemui and secondscreen at 640 DPI, I used adb shell wm density 540 which affects the rest of the phone. So my apps and such are showing a lot more, but the phone has no issues working normally.
I've changed Nova and my browsers (480). Any idea what would happen if I changed Wm density after changing the apps dpi?

Try to remember if you have installed an application these last weeks. Maybe this cause the problem. Also if you're using Good Lock's lock star apk check your lock screen wallpaper setup or uninstall it.

Did you ever figure this out? It's doing it to me as well. I can't find an answer anywhere, I'm about to factory reset my phone.
When I first got it, it showed the wallpaper fine. After about a week I noticed it was only showing it very infrequently.
Static and "animation" wallpapers work, but not "video" wallpapers like those included with the phone or ones downloaded through the galaxy store.
That issue has disappeared after upgraded firmware and then restored my backup

I solved it on my phone.
It turns out that I had used an ADB command to push the gesture hints bar off the screen (Galaxy S20+).
Code:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-42
It's the easiest, best trick ever, because it gives you the full screen but also doesn't have the negative effect of using the option to hide it in the actual settings which causes you to need to swipe in an arch to change apps instead of just swiping left and right. I had to revert it by using the same command but changing the -42 back to a 0.

Question Alternative EQ application for joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200

Hi,
I just bought a joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200 head unit. I am not sure what type this unit is, is it a TS10?
The problem is that in third party applications everything is very small, small fonts, small details. This applies to apps like tidal, google maps, chrome etc. It is basically impossible to use these apps comfortably.
There is no "font size" or "display size" option in the device settings.
I solved the problem by changing the "smallest width" setting in the developer options from 1200 to 700. The apps look good now. the built-in apps also look good, except for the EQ app and the built-in launcher.
The launcher is not displayed at all, however, this problem can be easily solved by installing another launcher such as car web guru, which works great.
The real problem is with the EQ application which does not scale well. Some controls are out of screen, others are displayed incorrectly.
Is there an alternative application that supports dsp functions (dsp version of this device is dsp55) and will be displayed correctly?
Maybe someone has another way to solve the problem I described.
Marek.
I've done the same change on my 11.6 version. Did you do a full system reboot after changing the dpi setting? I had the same issue until I did a full reboot, then the system apps changed to the appropriate dpi scaling. You may want to change the dpi in small increments as well until everything looks correct.

What do you mean by 'full reboot"? All other system aps scale well, only eq app doesn't.
Just the Reboot from the top drop down menu. I guess I had not noticed if the EQ app was significantly larger in scale after the dpi change.

Sorry, I was not aware that my device is FYT. I am new to this...

Just the Reboot from the top drop down menu. I guess I had not noticed if the EQ app was significantly larger in scale after the dpi change.

I think I did it before, but to be sure I did a reboot today few times. It didn't help.
This happened on my 10 inch joying (airmont sc9853i). I hated it so much. Here's what I did. Should work for you.
Enable ADB by.... (or using Termux app)
- going to settings > system > developer options > 3368 > confirm
- at the top of the screen on right, tap three dots overflow menu icon > USB computer connection > pick the 2nd one (usually the one not selected on restarts)
- under where it says developer option, inline where it says "On", make sure that toggle switch is "ON"
- scroll down to, USB debugging, enable
Find the OTG port on the back of your unit. plug in a laptop with adb installed properly so you can 'adb shell'
From that shell, type enter the command 'wm' to being up its help.
what you are looking for is the correct "wm overscan [LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]"
"wm overscan 10,0,0,0" worked great for me
dont worry about any white bars, they will go away after the screen redraws (switch apps or something)
I never adjusted any fonts or dpi in the system

Thank you. And what about smallest width setting? Should it go back to 1200 as it was originally?

Yea. See if it makes any weird apps better. If not, leave it.
It turned out that the overscan setting didn't solve my problem, however Your answer pointed me in right direction. Thank you.
What was that right direction, post what you learnt so others may prosper
I mean that I started to experiment with adb and wm command, which I was not aware of before. Then I had the idea that I will use tasker to change DPI each time the eq app started and change it back on the exit. But this didn't work. Tasker can not change DPI in my case. I get error 1 message. So when I want to use this app I manually change DPI. The truth is I don't mess much with those settings once I've sett it to my liking....

I've done the same change on my 11.6 version. Did you do a full system reboot after changing the dpi setting? I had the same issue until I did a full reboot, then the system apps changed to the appropriate dpi scaling. You may want to change the dpi in small increments as well until everything looks correct.

Hi may I know what do you changed to ? I
I believe I set it to 720p (1280x720), common resolutions seem to work the best. I've since exchanged this unit for the new 11.6 slim so I can't say for sure.
