Some apps don't show enough screen to access all the interaction buttons. You can't scroll to get to those buttons. This happens with several Topo Map apps.
They are not compatible with the HU screen resolution (DPI setting). You could change the DPI on the HU but that will mess up the display for everything else.

Thanks, Nick. I will try anything. How do I change the DPI on the HU, please?
Should be under display in the Android settings menu.

If you're rooted, you can use easy dpi changer app from the play store to set a custom dpi. That's what I do
So you don't see anything to do with display density? This is annoying maybe they found a way to keep people from messing up their display or it could be under the factory settings.
I tried factory settings months ago. No luck.
I would try rooting but I'm afraid of bricking as I'm not very tech.
Is there a foolproof way to do it?

*ROOT REQUIRED*
AdjBrightness adjusts screen brightness for *rooted* android device. It can set the brightness from 2 ~ 255 and lock it so that most of other applications cannot change it. Alternatively, if you don't want to lock the brightness, "auto restore" option can restore it after screen turned on.
It also can turn off the background light of buttons.
Saves the battery and eyes!
Anyway, IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM, REBOOT!
It can be downloaded from market or just download the attachment.

This would be really nice if you could add an auto feature that has more too it than the stock one to save more battery. Like winmo Lumos
Works very well with my Evo 4g running Damage3.2.3 neterty kernal 7.1a rooted
Maybe also a widget with custom or pre-defined settings for easy access?
I really wish you could make this like lumos MANY MANY users have asked for this already for the evo
What Lumos is? Where can I found it?
Most excellent ! finally i can stop those stupid backlighted buttons when i use my phone in the dark
But i found the brightness range is the same as what i have normally from the phone manual settings (Desire), i hoped it could go lower.
don't work on Galaxy S.
a question: can i make it darker then 0% (in the settings>) ?
sry for my english

You are right. Galaxy's are not supported. It works perfectly on Hero.
This app is great. It turns the backlight completely off on the myTouch 3G which is just what I wanted. It would be great if you could add the ability to make shortcuts on the desktop to a particular setting.
So I could hit a shortcut/widget on the desktop to change the brightness to 10 (backlight off) and then one to turn it back to 20 (backlight on).
Thanks for the app!
I found out about AdjBrightness yesterday in a thread where it was discussed it's possible to lower the brightness more than the standard brightness settings in HTC Sendse. I'm running a rooted HTC Desire with Android 2.2 (Modaco) but I can't see that the brightness get any lower with AdjBrightness than with default settings in Sense. I have given AdjBrightness root access as well. Have I missunderstood what the application actually does, can't the brightness not go below the lowest value you can set in the settings in HTC Sense? Cheers!

You can disable "Automatic brightness" in system settings and try again. I use HTC Sense too and it works.
updated to v1.2.7.3, support to turn off amber light. fixed fc issue sometimes after turn on screen.
Awesome. I've always wanted to go lower brightness than what Android's minimum was. This will be great for reading at night.
good app!!! thanks!!!
Hi. New member to the forum.
I have a rooted Backflip (US AT&T) and previously installed adjBrightness. It worked fine the last time I used it before today. However, for whatever reason, today it throws force close errors.
As I recall, the only thing I did to my phone was delete some AT&T crapware (the radio and music apps).
Any ideas?
Thanks, mojohn

Hi, could you tell me when the force close occurred? When starting the AdjBrightness application, or after clicked a button, or after turn on the screen?
Nice app. Just need some sort of homescreen widget & a new icon, it's hideous.
Fixed some bugs for 1.6 android system. If somebody cannot turn on screen, please keep the "Auto restore" ticked in settings.

Hi, will you plan to support the galaxy s at some point, or is it just not possible to lower the brightness on this device?

I once made a version to support galaxy s, it can adjust the brightness, but people reported they could not turn on the screen afterwards.
Sorry, I am afraid it won't be fixed until I can access a galaxy s device.
I want to know how to change the Lcd Density from 160 to 140. Im using Zpad clean rom. I Went to System/Build.prop and I didnt see the Ro.density text or what ever it is. LCD Density for root works but it resets after restart. Anyone know how?
Figured it out. In system/Build.prop using Root Explorer I just made my own line and put ro.sf.lcd_density=140 and then saved and rebooted the tablet. Seems to have worked. If somone decides to change density like this dont forget to make a backup just in case.
EDIT: EHHH. Slide down bar was buggy and pissed me off and some apps wher windowed a bit so i gave in and just bought LCD Density changer from Market for a buck and use that. Works great.

works well for me by changing the system/build.prop to 140.
Changed to 140 also and it makes some apps not fill screen but not a big hitter actually see more on screen with browsers and other apps. Especially with apps like settings and ROM Manager, etc....
Also went down and trying currently at 130. Here are screen shots of what it is like at default and 130. I kind of like seeing more of the screen.
Here are the setting I used in the build.prop file
ro.sf.lcd_density=130
Running Vegan 5.1 here are screenshots before and after
Screenshots below default and 130 settings:
Yeh lcd density app same as just changing it in build.prop. Slide down bar not full screen anymore when set too 140 on zpad clean rom. Wonder why.. Hmmm... worked b4 so now no point in the app except faster changes. Oh well.
Have you checked Spare Parts app to see if you have "Compatibility Mode" checked or unchecked?
I believe Unchecked should open things back to full screen.
I unchecked compatibility it at 130 and 140. No effect to Android notifications.
Hi guys !!!
The Android keyboard app "SwiftKey" doesn't seem to save its complete configuration. At least the keyboard size always resets after rebooting the device (not after standby!), so that I constantly have to manually set it back to my preferred size. Is it a bug, or what's going on here?
Greets,
The SphereX
Did you manage to solve this? I got an S8+ today and it's doing exactly the same thing. Infact it's even doing it after I change the screen resolution or play a game and then go back to the keyboard.
So far nothing's changed here. As long as I do not power off my tablet, everything's fine. However, after a restart the keyboard size setting gets reset. Fortunately I don't power off the device very often. So I can live with it.

Sounds like it might be an issue with the app, contact the developer of the app to see if he needs to fix it.

Like the title says, my brightness slider just disappeared from the notification pull down area. Im running oxygen os 10 with root, twrp, No Limits magisk rom, elemental x 2.0 kernel, and substratum lite mod that changes fingerprint icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have the same problem, I didn't find a solution yet
what I found out is that the slider reappears when I create another user... so it looks like it's some kind of broken user setting
Could it be your DPI settings? Just throwing something out there...

I was able to replicate what you said and it disappears again after switching back to my normal profile. I guess it is a broken system setting that they have to iron out.
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.
You missed the FYT forum listing your device....
Yet another.
Requested mod moves to FYT.

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....

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.
