- Allow apps to display on top of a secure lockscreen (use carefully)

****************************************************************************************************************************************
With permission from rovo89 and tungstwenty, I would like to introduce to you the Xposed Framework by rovo89 and the per app density app by Tungstwenty. You can find out more information about the Xposed framework here and here. The Xposed framework is a powerful framework in that mods like call recording, etc. persists even if you update your ROM. There is no longer a need to modify apks like SecPhone.apk just to get call recording and so with other mods. Not all mods are supported but a lot of them if only devs will support the development and use of the framework. This post just deals with the per app density app by tungstwenty. Credits go to rovo89 and tungstwenty. please send them your appreciation.
A Little Introduction
Some ROMs use 240 dpi. Others 213 dpi. And the problem with changing dpis is that you need to mod stock apps to look nice on the selected dpi because they don't scale very well. Samsung did not create them to scale well at different dpis. So the solution was either replace them with alternative apps from the Play Store or mod the apps to fit the selected dpi. Here comes the per app density module running on top of the xposed framework.
Another scenario is the note is a big phone with a bigger real estate than other phones but it is not taking advantage of its real estate because it just uses the phoneUI of installed apps. With the per app density module, you can now choose whether you want the Phablet UI or Tablet UI or Phone UI of your favourite apps.
I have tested this with rooted deodex XXLSC/XXLSA/XXLS7/XXLS2. I believe it may work for rooted ICS and other rooted JB versions.
Will it work on odex roms? Yes, if you are rooted.
Will it work for CM10? I haven't tested it myself, but the author of the framework made this based on AOSP, and CM is the closest relative of AOSP (closer than TW, Sense, Motoblur). The author himself is using this on his GS2 with CM10.1.
Will this work with other phones? Yes, but there is only one way to find out. TRY.
How to Install?
Make a nandroid backup. Works only on a rooted ROM.
Download the XposedInstaller apk and install it. Launch it and grant it root pernissions. Then press Install/Update button. Then reboot.
Download the Per App Density Setting apk and install it.
Launch the Xposed Framework App then in the module tab, enable the Per App Density Module. Then reboot.
Launch the Per App Settings app and there you can now set per app density for all apps listed.
Warning: This is a powerful framework, and if you are not careful about the settings you use, you might mess up your apps or system UI.
EXAMPLE:
Note: The examples below assume you are using the stock unmodded apps (meaning if you are using the 240 modded apps then the settings below wont work).
1. Fixing the camera layout if you are on 240 or 213 or whatever custom dpi.
a. Launch the PerAppSetting app. It will list all available apps you can tweak.
b. Look for the Camera app then click on it. Then on the top right corner there is a slider to enable it.
c. set dpi to 320 then choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box. Press the Save button located on the Title bar. Then Press the Play button located beside the Save button. That's it. Your camera now fits like it used to be.
* You can have the same dpi setting for the voice recorder, fmradio, diary, clock, splanner, task manager, multiwindow flashbar.
2. Fixing the dialer layout if you are on 240 or 213 or whatever custom dpi.
a. Launch the PerAppSetting app.
b. Look for the Contacts app then click on it. Then on the top right corner there is a slider to enable it.
c. Set dpi to 320 then choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box then save. Setting the Contacts app also sets the Dialer app as they always go together (kind of inseparable twins).
3. How to enable Tablet UI for Play Store.
a. Launch the PerAppSetting app.
b. Look for Play Store app then set dpi to 160 and choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box. Save.
c. Look for com.google.android.gsf app then set dpi to 160 and choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box. Save.
d. Run the Play Store and be amazed.
Settings I have tested:
How to Enable Phone UI for Apps (depends on app if it has phone UI support).
- Set dpi to 320 and choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box then save. You may also choose between 214 to 320 dpi.
How to Enable Phablet UI for Apps (depends on app if it has phablet UI support).
- Set dpi to 213 and choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box then save. You may also choose between 213 to 178 dpi.
How to Enable Tablet UI for Apps (depends on app if it has tablet UI support).
- Set dpi to 177 or 160 and choose 800x1280 on the dropdown box then save. You may also choose any value between 177 to 160 dpi.
So drop by here once in a while to see or share your settings that work for you for the benefit of others. Please show some appreciation if it worked for you. Share and post what works and what doesn't.
* Some errors can be fixed by just uninstalling previous versions and downloading and reinstalling new versions of the xposed framework/app settings module and your APPS.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
DID YOU KNOW?
* The per App Settings Module also enable you to control permissions for your apps. Of course, some apps may malfunction if important permissions are revoked.
* Other Xposed modules you maybe interested.
- Call Recording In areas where call recording is legal.
- Disable SMS to MMS Conversion

This looks awesome. I'm running 4.0.4 (LRK) but will give it a try.

Awesome bro its working thanks for this gr8 app :good:
edit :- can you just share how to set dialer dpi i had tried but its not working

It doesn't work on my Phone or Dialler apps. I can press the save button and I get the message about killing the app but once I've saved it the Play button doesn't do anything. It appears to be greyed out.
EDIT: I just noticed a message on these apps in red that says "Shared packages not yet supported".
Other apps I have tried are working great.

its work for JB 4.2?

You are awesome... Have been waiting to see something like this!!!
Gonna try it now.:good:

So what are you running? ICS, JB?
Feedback would be useful. I can't get my dialer to change. The play arrow is greyed out.

On Alliance JB xxlsc beta1.1 with 240dpi mod.
Only thing that I do, and which it is not mention in OP is: just pulling the contacts.apk from original .zip of alliance xxlsc (which is 320dpi, and my contacts.apk was modded for 240dpi and not nice looking), replaced it with the old one in preload\system\app\, reboot,
then do like OP says, open per-app and set it to 320. Now phone dialer is bigger, and thats the way it should be, because it is more finger friendly
that is how it worked for me

sorry mate, realy dont know why, but it smells me like partial root or something
just for notice: what I experience every time i flashed various JB leaks roms. Flashed normaly, without any troubles, superSU update normaly, it prompt me for root acces when doing some random root stuff. But when i install Solidexplorer and then try to go system\root (for changing some apps etc..) it prompt me that i dont have busybox installed, then I installed it from market (the solidexplorer busybox),update then reboot.
After that I fell like I have full root now, until then it looks like partial root.
I dont know whats realy happening there, but thats the way how it work for me
Thats is my experience, if it can help you in someway.

Ichave root as i sad. I can modify systeam apps. Like i had to hide system/xbin/su and rename superuser.apk coz the fcking barclays mobile app root security so after all i have root

xperiacle is a great asset to any forum :good:
loving all the feedback in here....
just wondering if we can change the flashbar and weather widget......
definitely gonna try this

thanks a lot xperiacle, this mod makes TW live again on my Note :good:

What should we do abou xposedbridge.jar??? I really cant understand this.m i have root for sure.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

it seems your rom use preload and symlink system to it, instead of system itself, if so you need to replace the apk file before set dpi
I guess so, you can check in the SVA rom thread to confirm use of preload, then hope xperiacle advise more on using his mod on symlink-ed system

[Q] Remapping Recent Apps to Search.

Is there a way that I can get my search button back? I would like to change the recent apps button to a search button.

Check Xposed Sense 6 toolbox or Xposed Gravity Box KK

That's a stock system setting now. Settings -> Display, Gestures & Buttons -> Recent Apps.

Where can I get that? I see Xposed Sense 5 toolbox, but not 6. Is it something I can get in the google play store, or do I have to get an apk somewhere? I just got S-Off, so I'm trying to fix this issue now. Other than that and the Verizon bloat, this phone is perfect.

Ok, I got Xposed Framework installed, but the latest version of Sense Toolbox is for 5 and crashes instantly when I try to run it. Gravity Box says it's for AOSP roms, so I'm doubting it would work.

Derp. I left out xposed from the search and it was the first result. I'll probably wait until I install Skyfall to try it. I'm sick of the Verizon apps reinstalling themselves after I delete them with root explorer.

Settings -> Display, Gestures & Buttons -> Recent Apps.

I don't know if it is possible to downgrade launcher (because I don't have Nougat yet), but if you want to stick with Xperia Home then download this. I think this is latest Xperia Home that you used on Marshmallow. Ofc you will not be able to install older version, but changing package name will allow you to install launcher that I gave you link for. Then select old one as default and that is it.

XTRONS Launcher - Name?

Hello!
Can anybody tell me which Launcher XTRONS is using for their Headunits with Android 8.0 and where to get it from? (see attachment)
It's my favourite one and I would like to use it with a Custom ROM.
Thank you!

Here you are. I've extracted them especially for you from the Malaysk ROM. The launcher you are looking for is the GS one
P.S. It could be that you also need the widgets. Ask me again if so.

Great, thank you!

PS: yes, please also give me the Widgets - THANK YOU!

thank you, but I can only find the widget for the HCT launcher - or is it the same as the "GS" launcher? (the one that I am looking for)

HCT is the software developer of different Android head units like HA, GS, KGL, LM, KLD, ... The software installed on the units is the same, only the launchers are different. That`s why this apk is called HCTwidget_GS.apk. GS is Xtrons (seller).

Hey Guys,
thx Oberbergler for the upload, but it doesnt work for me and my friend.
The installer just says that he cant install this program. (Launcher3_GS.apk) @erdloch
Did u had any success with the installation?

That's a package name problem because all hct launchers in Android 8 are using the same package name. You have to uninstall the stock launcher of your ROM first.

I had no chance to try it yet, but will probably do this today or tomorrow.
Maybe a stupid question, but what happens when I delete the stock launcher? Do I still have an interface where I can install the Launcher3_GS.apk? Do I get the "standard" Android launcher?

Thx for the answer.
I've uninstalled all the launchers in the system apps including Launcher3, except the LauncherLM. That's the only launcher remaining on my device.
And i still can't install the Launcher3_GS.apk
Do you know where I've could went wrong?

I have the same problem as waxjee...any suggestions?

I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it. We need an app with different package name, but I don't know how to compile it.

You could try changing the package name by editing the AndroidManifest.xml file using apkstudio. I use version 4.0.3 and have done with other apps that I need original and modified versions installed on the same deviice and it works great.
Change the package name (Usually top line "package=")
Save
Build
Sign
Then copy to your device and install
The save, build, sign are all buttons on the toolbar, and I have found it works a treat.

Hello,
wanted to ask if someone has already solved the problem, the GS Launcher to install and if he did it how the whole thing works.
Thank you for your feedback

Hi, i found this forum thread after looking for the exact same launcher theme. Im havin no luck installing it, i seem to have no permissions to install it at all. I've yet to try apkstudio, but im completely unable to uninstall the stock launcher, the option is greyed out! Any ideas?

This would also be very useful for me too as I am indeed looking for this launcher. But my unit has not been rooted and have no wish too... can this still be done?

It's an old thread but hopefully it's still alive
I tried changing the package name using APKStudio but somehow I couldn't. Can someone with the right skill set please change the package name for the "GS" LAUNCHER located in the first page and uploaded it back here. Thanks a lot!

any one had any luck with this?

anyone get this working?
