Hi there Mates,
I've always used a different DPI on every phone i used.
I used to follow bala_gammer on his mods, but when he stopped i got lost, so i decided to do my way, and post on his topic.
I got many PM's so i thought was better to create a thread.
Heres how i got. I've tested on samsung rom and samsung based roms (omega and wanam)
1 - Root
2 - Go to root/system/build.prop - search for the line "ro.sf.lcd_desity=480" and change 320 or the dpi wanted. (image attch)
3 - install the "xposed installer"
4 - install the "appsettings" and activated the "appsettings" inside the "xposed installer" to work then reboot
Obs : This step is very important , because every app that dont fit the dpi choosed you will change here for the original 480 dpi . After reboot you have to immediately change to 480 dpi via appsettings the following apps : "gallery, camera, phone(and incall UI), contacts" if dont work after change , reboot!
5 - You have to install another time widget, the factory one wont work
At least here didnt. I installed "Zooper Widgets" and worked fine .
After install a different clock widget, on the lockscreen swipe for the right and will see a big "+" click and add a new widget on the lockscreen (the one that have installed, 4x1 size) and erase the old one with the pencil (to erase just hold a finger above the screen and swipe to trash)
if you dont have the + on the lockscreen, go to settings, screen , lockscreen and activate multiple widgets!!
DONE
:victory:
Im on 4.3 Original Samsung and upload some SS
Xposed , Appsettings and Zooper Widgets ARE NOT my work. Just put the link to help you guys . Sorry for my english .
Hi! Guys Today I will share a guide on How to achieve Pixel features and look on almost any android device running android Nougat.
What you need?:- A rooted Nougat device, Root file manager(I recommened ES), Brain
Lets start:-
Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now open Link2SD find & convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...xel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907/page1
Tips:- Signup for google beta tester on playstore and update your google app to latest beta version for seamless google assistant work.
You may add those two build.prop at the end and don't change your default model number. It will still work.
Boot animation have a huge chances to work normally as the just conatin minimal animations and cover center of screen. So try it out and tell me.
This is my first guide. Please PM me or quote if you have any doubts before rating my guide bad.
Thank me if you liked my guide and my assistance.:laugh:

I mentioned it in post that google assistant doesn't recognize voice. I am working on it and maybe i will able to fix it up soon. Hope so :fingers-crossed:
Yet again, all thanks go to @jrkruse for this one. I have modified his zip to work on the Verizon S7 flat. The ROM is silky smooth since it uses the factory kernel. The instructions have been tweaked to work for the Flat. I can confirm that SafetyNet passes using this method.
A MASSIVE thanks goes to @hunteditor for this. I haven't been around XDA much these past few weeks and haven't made a new thread for the U-ROM. It has been long overdue. He took on the annoyance of modifying the instructions and download links to work.
hunteditor said:
People ask if they can root this Rom. The answer is yes, but why would you want to? You get all the benefits of rooting and still have official status. Plus, you get the outstanding battery life of a non-rooted S7.

An Explanation of what this is. I have found a way to manipulate system files on a stock rom and not loose system official status. This Allows Samsung Pay and all safetynet checking apps to function. This Rom is not rooted just modified.

Latest Odin
Latest FlashFire APK
Nougat_S7_Root_2_81_All_Carriers_V2.zip – thanks jrkruse
S7 Nougat root kernel
Install Instructions From Any Build:
Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don’t follow them to the T, don’t complain.
1) Unzip G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_VZW.zip. Boot the phone into download mode (volume down, home, and power) then flash all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone will reboot into recovery and throw an error. Reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. – Thanks @thefirst__noel
2) Don’t bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk, AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, and UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Free_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip to Internal Storage. – Thanks @appye
3) Make sure secure boot is turned off!!! Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin.
4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC. May need to right-click and run as administrator.
5) Now install FlashFire. In FlashFire, select add Flash Firmware Package and choose AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 and make sure all partitions are checked.
Then add Flash Zip or OTA and choose UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Fre e_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip and tap mount system when FlashFire asks.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP! – Thanks @dclutter1
Click Add Wipe and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache and choose Format Cache Also select wipe SuperSU image. Make sure wipe is at end of flash sequence. The sequence should be AP file first then Zip second and Wipe cache last.
6) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first, then the Aroma Installer will start.
7) In Aroma, select wipe ALL data (DO NOT KEEP SU) – See notes below.
8) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.
The phone may take up to 20 minutes to boot the first time, so be patient.
If you reflash the ROM, you must flash the AP file in FlashFire at the same time.
Notes:
* Do not use Package Disabler Pro if you choose NoNaMe mods in Aroma.
* If you are installing the S8 apps, you may run into force closes. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you may run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk. If you don’t wipe data, then please don’t post issues in the thread.
* I was able to keep my settings and data by choosing keep data in Aroma and still passed SafetyNet. I can’t guarantee that this will work for everyone, but you can try if you want. This probably will not work if you are coming from MM. If you decide to take this route and have issues, do a full wipe and reinstall before posting any problems.
* If you get constant application errors saying "IMS service has stopped" and "com.sec.epdg has stopped", boot into recovery using the Power+VolUp+Home combination. You will likely get a "No command" error screen. Let it on that screen (30-60 seconds) and it will eventually go into the recovery menu. Wipe data and cache in recovery. – thanks paul.miner

Thanks @DJ XtAzY for the Boot_Recovery image.
Does this ROM come with Google Pixel Dialer, Google Camera etc Google stuff in Aroma to choose from ?
I didn't install those options, but I believe they are there, along with some S8 app options as well. I've been running this for a week. It's silky smooth with great battery life. Every time I pick up my phone now I can't help thinking this is how our phones should be. I'm loving this ROM.
Here's the boot recovery file I created that should be added to the first post:
AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5
Those that want to remove or update ad blocking host file will need to follow jrkruse post, with one modification:

I also modified the updater_script so that the BS Free section of the script will remove more of Google Apps, such as Photos, Hangout, but I kept the Camera plugins and the Gallery's photo editor and video playback, etc. I also sorted that section of the script by alphabetical, it was a pain to see what the script removes and keep when everything is out of order when going through the list. If anyone's interested of that updater_script, let me know.

I added this to the second post. Thanks!
As for the updater_script, I planned to redo it to fix the gallery and video issues on the next version. I didn't want to upload an update with these fixes, then release one right after when the latest ROM is available with the new firmware, because that usually ends up being the case lol. I'd definitely be interested in looking at your script.
I feel like I'm going crazy here, any help would be appreciated. I downloaded everything and flashed all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone reboots into recovery and throws an error. I reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. Then, it just gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen. I've tried reflashing multiple times, and even let the phone sit for over an hour in case it was just taking a long time to boot. But I can't ever get it past the SAMSUNG screen. Any ideas?
@CVertigo1
I was able to install this ROM.
I noticed a very weird thing. In the attached screenshot, there is a small white tab at top of the screen in scroll area.
Why does it exist ? Can we hide it ?

Thanks a lot. I was able to hide it.
Another weird thing is, in the ROM control app, the button size is enlarged. Not sure why (attached).
I was using other ROM of yours earlier and in it the size was correct. Any thoughts?
Also, a word of caution during installation-
When I flashed everything from ODIN first and booted, the phone downloaded an update(OTA)
I accidentally said Update. It went ahead and installed it.
Booted back fine, was able to root, flashfire, aroma. After aroma however, it got stuck in boot animation. Rebooted it, got stuck and would not go ahead.
Needed to factory reset from recovery and start over.
Some of the cursors are a little awkward with the modded systemUI. You'll notice it everywhere, especially Google.

How can we control settings of open source ad blocking ?
I think it is blocking 'Here Maps' App and I'd like to exclude this from blocking.

Is this more visible if we choose Google Play ROM version as opposed to debloat/verizon rom ?

I use Adguard, so I don't use the ad blocking in the ROM. I don't know how to help on that. Did you see post #2 about ad blocking? If I remember correctly, you can edit the file and use adb to push it, but I'm not certain.

That is really up to jrkruse if he fixes it in a later update. Switching ROM versions won't fix it. If it's a huge bother to you, then re-flash the ROM and don't choose the modded systemUI.
I am currently running Stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 v3 MM ROM on an AT&T S7 Flat and I believe the ROM is based on the S7 Edge . I am trying to flash this ROM using the OP instructions and keep getting this error in Odin on Step 1. The phone never reboots, it just stays in recovery. Any suggestions?

Its cause this ROM is nougat based and for a strange reason you can't flash nougat roms directly on top of MM ones. The usual fix is to flash the stock firmware for your phone, try to get the OTA update for nougat, then follow the steps. Also just giving a fair warning you can't downgrade back down to MM after the nougat update so you wont be able to go back to Stang5litre until he updates that to nougat.

Hey I have a bit of a bug report. Was messing around with the settings in NNRomControl and finally got things the way I like it. I went to go restart the phone and when it booted back up System UI either Stopped or Crashed and didn't restart itself. Did a little testing and found that it was the System UI Tuner Mod. After enabling any of the settings and restarting the phone System UI would immediately crash on startup.

A video of my aroma installer rom on API23 (Android 6.0)
https://youtu.be/zqyDmiqTdhc
Additional i like to suggest more apps to install yourself to your phones.
1. I use Whatscall, Dington, TalkU to make "free" phone call. You pay by watch ads. Whatscall is good to get fast free credits. TalkU and Dington are pretty similar. Autor is "our" phone manufactur Cheetah.
Benefit you can make real phone-call via wifi, safe expensive calls, etc.
If you have no playstore running you get less ads = less credits!
I use them since one year no problems. Me tested other "free" call/sms apps but did not find better once. Please no referal request!

Now i use it to enable emergency call by quickly press 4 times Power button. It can be enabled by shake also. That is a feature of new IOS as well as Samsung Galaxy. The benefit is you can automatic call even is screen is broken, eye or finger issue, else.
You can test your setup by automatic call friends number to prevent by mistake calling emergency
Only sms is working if not installed via playstore :/
** For location please keep your GPS on. When there is no Wi-Fi, GPS or mobile data then no location goes with the message/picture. Also it gives your last location if GPS is off.

So go and install that app!!! Alternative maybe SOS Stay Safe
Still no reply :/
However maybe not worse to have a 3 post contiguous (last -if no reply), to add details or infos.
You can replace shutaudio.mp3 at root floder system/media/
with attched silent once it increase free space in rom a littel. Play time is shorten so shutdown seems to be littel faster too.
Archiv contain a silent camera.ogg to replace them just rename the once you like to replace.
camera sound at system/media/audio/ui/
Here is a big silent system sound pack:

Not replace bootaudio.mp3 in v19. The mp3 worked on v14 but not with v19!!!
All my tests on replacement of bootaudio.mp3 in v19 end by bootloop. ( Guess same md5 hash is needed to replace! )
So if you can´t boot anymore run aroma installer and select install system media fix that.
1. edit:
Someone replaced gallery with old v02 version to get video preview back?
Not sure since when it is gone i believe since v14. or less?!
2. edit:
After a while i realize turbo download mode is not available in v19.
Turbo mode enables data transfer via wifi & cellular network at same time.
Can you please tell me how long first boot is meant to take please

If you just re-install less data e.g. boot / shot audio it´s fast as normal. If you are going to install all additional apps it maybe take some minutes. In case you do no install from slow external memory.
On Anroid 6 you can not reboot directly, hold power about 10-15 sec. till system (screen) full turn off and device reboots. Better choose power off device in twrp after finish aroma installation. :fingers-crossed:

This most likely happens if you:
- install exposed modul without flashing exposed sdk first.
- flashing sytemfiles ( increase by wronge firmware - aroma version)
- on android 6*: - if you reboot direct after installation ## or twrp screen off timer is set & reached * That is a bug of all our 6.0 twrp not a bug of rom
You can fix by:
- flash exposed sdk
- restore a twrp backup (guess you didn´t backup)
- flash proper systemfiles (check firmware i provide for most of them an aroma to restore system)
- flashing full stock rom via MTK tool = 100% fix
I found this topic today and will try it when I have time! For now, I've only changed the irritating boot sound!

I replaced the bootaudio.mp3 with yours shutaudio.mp3 and the system is booting normally (firmware v19)!
Ok idk why i always failed so maybe other user now also try. May i going to retry
Once again, only flash system app if you have no chance to recover.
Example:
I messed with contact app which may cann´t be recovered with aroma so contact crash by doing wrong. However it still works so i do not flash to repair that little bug.
Keep in mind xposed is tricky and maybe kind of risky to set, so make fresh trwp dump befor going to use "first time".
Hope u have fun with some additional apps.
