Now that my Xperia Z Ultra is rooted I would like to change the DPI setting to match the functionality of my Nexus 7. Unfortunately I have never done this before and Google shows me several ways to do it. Maybe someone with a little bit more experience could point me to the best way to change the DPI and to which setting.
Thanks!

Changing the Dpi of the whole system is not really good. Some apps will not work very wall and some part of Sony app like contacts and others will show some display problem.
Best I know with stock ROM is to use Xposed framework and install per app setting (per app dpi). You need root but this way you can get tab UI application like dual screen on settings and tab UI for mail, gmail and etc... But for this you need to root your phone.

or, you could change the entire dpi, and set the relevant apps with xposed like contacts etc, the apps that you come across as wonky, set them back to default dpi size 320 i think.
Xposed is by far the more elegant solution. Plus there are lots of other models you can use to customise your Z Ultra

Agree. I changed the system DPI manually editing the build.prop, a let me tell you; chaos, chaos everywhere. Some UI elements were tiny, whilst other stuff crashed and wouldn't work. That was when I took sight on the mighty Xposed, who lets you take control over the these delicate details yourself. I strongly recommend Xposed.

I finally find back my two volume settings for notification & call thanks to this app !
Any idea to get the different method to stop the alarm ? On my previous gNote, I was able to shake the phone to stop the alarm (now it's a small button in the middle of the screen Hard to stop it ^^)

You can snooze the alarm by pressing volume buttons, just need to set it on your alarm.

i just rooted today and tried gravity, so it's working for me, LTE model
unfortunately, although changing the dpi in build.prop to 240 works fine for everything including contacts and phone, my contacts still crash when i try to open certain entries...not sure why though

Arrr right, maybe theres been an update. Actually I think Xposed itself has had an update.
I'll have a bash with it myself now. Just going to do a nandroid backup first as it went haywire the other time lol
For DPI settings I much prefer the per app DPI module :good:
Edit gravitybox still not working on my C6833 with .257 Rom.
Wait I've fixed it.. I was trying to open the module before enabling it in Xposed Works now..
After testing Xposed framework now for a few weeks I wanted to say it's a great recommendation! Thanks a lot ...
One more question: Is there a way to get rid of Sony's small settings in the notifications and get Android's stock settings (swiping down on the right side of the screen) with Xposed framework?
I found the 'Xperia Flip Settings' Module for the Xposed Framework. This was exactly what I was looking for.

I rooted my Ultra. Changed DPI to 240 - LOVE IT! Still on stock rom.
Most of the app adapted ok for new DPI but some not.
Installed "Exposed" and managed to get some good result adjusting Clock, Swift keyboard etc
Problem is the sistem Dialer (screen shot attached)
It's not actually a dialer.... It's the screen when the call is in progress.
I tried different 3rt party dialers but as soon i press call from any dialer i see this screen.
It is always in portrait mode.
It is usable but it looks ugly and needs to adapted for new DPI.
How can i adapt this screen to 240dpi using Expose?
What sistem app i need to modify.?
Thanks in advance for help.
in Exposed, have you tried changing Android System's dpi?
Verry interested by changing the DPI on the official rom.
What's the best way to do this ?
Just root the device and change the DPI setting in the build.prop ?
Using app setting I changed the phone and phone/messaging apk to 320dpi and screen to 480x854 also do the same for the contacts. Reboot and call yourself should be back to normal.

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks
You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now
Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.
Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...
thanks for work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.

Hey guys,
As my title says, I keep getting that message quite often! Sometimes 2 times a day and it messes my wallpaper up. When I hit the recents menu and clear it enough times, the UI "reboots" or redraws itself and I have to enter my knockcode (using Xposed) and reset my wallpaper. Anyone here know what could be causing this? I can provide a list of Xposed modules that I use if that might be the case. I also use Nova prime (latest version).
Please can someone help pinpoint this problem or message me if you have found a solution? It annoys me to no end!
Thanks!

I also use Adaway itself and have an Android L theme (from the cross development section)

I'm going to back your choice that it's the Knock Code module. I'll disable for a few days and see how it goes.

Hey Darren, thank you for your reply. Sorry, I have been extremely busy with work.
Yeah I do get the feeling it's knockcode but I've just had the message come up now when I hit the recents menu and I was already using the phone. Do you think it could be the xperia Xposed (KK) module? I'm not even sure what the hell I'm using it for to be honest.
Let me know your findings on knock code. If it is that, I'll be sure to disable it and report the bug to the developer or to the dedicated thread on XDA.

If I had to put it down to something I would say Gravity box or Xposed xperia although at this point it could be anything! I'm running catlog in the back as often as I can in order to catch the process actually stopping. Think this will pinpoint what causes it?

Could potentially be it! I had the nav bar tweak on where my navbar was a different colour. The process only stops working when I hit the recents menu so it might be that the UI isn't refreshing properly or something. I've disabled it anyway, let's see how that goes.

I did try with that mod off but I'm going to uninstall for a bit and see what happens.
I've tried taking gravity box off and uninstalled it too but the process still stops although the wallpaper doesn't mess up anymore. The ui just redraws and takes me to my lock screen (knockcode) which I then enter and everything is fine. I have a feeling it may actually be knockcode. Might turn that off now and see what happens.

If yiu are using a different wallpaper for your lock screen, then change it to the same one as your home screen. I did that and no more messed wallpaper or android process force close for the past few days. The option is in the personalization section I think

This is the correct answer. Since I last posted, I had turned off Knock code and that is exactly what was causing the process to end. I now have a pin entry and so far I have had no problems with the wallpaper corrupting or the android.core.UI process not working. I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem; turn knock code OFF if it happens to you. :highfive:
Reflashed phone a few weeks ago and stopped using Knock Code mod then. Not had the error since so yep it's definitely that. Shame as I really like the mode
Hello all,
@superbass311 had a suggestion to create a thread to let all us HAM2 users know which Xposed modules work and which ones don't, so here it is! Simply post the names of the Xposed modules you know work, partially work or don't work. Try to separate the ones that work and don't work so it's easier for me to add them to this post. If they partially work, feel free to add a description mentioning which tweaks don't work and/or any issues that arise. This should save people some time and effort.

When you open ES File Explorer, tap the menu button on the top left (the 3 blue horizontal bars). Scroll down to "Root Explorer" and press it. A pop up will... pop up. Press "Mount R/W" and then select "RW" for "/" and "/system". Press OK and you can modify anything. Remember to turn it off when you're done!

Thank you sir!
I believe my phone is pimped out as it can get. lol
Rooted,Xposed, YouTube AdAway, Adv. Power, GravityBox and Adblock Plus.
I cant think of anything else I could need. I changed the Battery icon like yours, I have adblock plus on and hidden notifications so it does not take room on my status bar. I got Amazon Prime working with Instant Video.
The only thing I want that I cant have is the notification LED change to the colors i want. I believe we only have orange, green and red. Orange is charging, green is notification and red is well red. I should never see it with this battery.
AdBlock plus is not working with my MMS. When enabled it fails if i disable it sends. I googled and nothing for a fix. Someone said change port 80 to 8080 but that is not working on my At&t. any other program?

What worked for me was adding a proxy for both my wifi and apn settings. Use localhost and port 2020. This worked for me, the annoying part is you can't just add a proxy to the default apn, so you'll have to copy all your settings over to a new apn (and you can't copy and paste). Let me know if this helps, I may have used a certain build number of AdBlock Plus, once I got xposed working, I switched to AdAway which I feel works much better.

I can't get GravityBox to work at all. I'm using the KitKat version. Any advice? Every time I launch gravitybox, it just crashes.

I could be wrong, but you should be using the JB version of GravityBox, since the AM2 is on JB and not KK.

He might have the non-US version of the HAM2, which has a KK update.
He has to have non us version based on the android version

Yep, I have the mt2-l05. Tried both versions of gravitybox, no dice with either. Maybe xposed isn't working properly... What version of xposed are people using?

Did you edit the line in build.prop? This (and then a reboot) has to be done first.
Look at attached pic

I've edited the build.prop, and tried version 2.3.1, 2.6.1 and 2.7, gravitybox crashes with each one. I checked the advanced option for themeing engines too and it doesn't seem to help.
Can anyone tell me why xblast would stop my notification light from working ? Can someone install and confirm ? I like it better then gravity box for status bar tweaks. Any other alternative module?

I use LightFlow for the LED. Might want to check out the paid version.
this may not be the correct area, but i installed exposed, tried to install the framework after downloading it, but it says application not installed.
Read the first thread. You need to change something in the build prop

Nope, it's a known non-working feature (at least for HAM2).
I was bummed about it, but found that the Go Locker theme Burst by Nanotech is a pretty good replacement. The free version works fine, and the donate version (99 cents) gives you notification count on SMS and phone.

the only way I saw it working was when you check the box so the orientation changes even on lockscreen, so I thought it was only me having the issue.

All seem to work great. I have to be careful which options I implement with gravitybox, as some seem to conflict. Haven't had any major problems though, just know which options are already offored with the stock Xperia firmware.

I'm only using gravity box to color the statusbar icons, but I notice if you try to change the signal cluster style it doesn't look so great.
Thanks
Great info, everyone! If we're not to expect custom ROMs then it would seem Xposed is the best we can do?
Any known conflicts would be appreciated to share.
Am I correct in assuming that just because an Xposed module works on the stock Z3 doesn't necessarily mean it'll work with our variants?
Using 20mp SuperiorAuto, GravityBox KK, & GEM Xperia Xposed. Only issue I have seen so far is that it says "Preparing SD Card" sometimes. Not sure if one is disconnecting it or if it is something else yet. Not in Xposed I have changed font with Toolbox Pro by JRummy, Sound Mod v3.3 with all features from Z3 development, & blocked ads with AdAway.

I have Toolbox Lite and have tried changing my font but it doesn't work. Does the paid version do something different?

Not entirely certain. I bought it when it was on sale years ago & haven't looked back. Best app I've ever had for freezing apps, changing font, & a few other things. Won't do a couple things with some phones like changing icons, themes, & boot screens but what it does do it does well. Even the processor tweaks & ad blocker seem to work good enough.

I've found that it works for some apps. I didn't configure it in any special way, though. Gmail did work with the settings I configured through Xposed LED, but Google Messenger did not seem to work with the settings I created, so I honestly don't know what was going on.
I really wanted to decrease the amount of time in between LED pulses, so I didn't have to stare at my phone for 4 seconds (terrible, I know) before finding out if I have a notification or not. Coming from a Droid RAZR HD running CM11, I was really pleased to see that the Z3v had a similar LED bar, I just wish it was able to be configured with the Xperia ROM like I could with CM11 on the RAZR.

Hi GigaSPX,
I am having trouble with both the Xperia Xposed options out there. Seems that every time I load them it disconnects my memory card & I have to reset all my ringtones, Google Music doesn't pick up where I left off & my email ringtones won't allow it to change at all. I just keep getting a stopped working error. Have you seen any issues with it?
Also I'm getting a little bit of overheat issues but I've hoping the restore I did will take care of that & I haven't loaded everything back just yet.
Lastly do you know what settings on Amplify are best or do you just leave it at the standard settings it pulls up?
Thanks for any input you might have.

Right now my phone isn't handling too well with Xposed either. I don't know how amplify works and I didn't even know I could set my own settings. What I've been advised to do though is uninstall Xposed and reinstall since my phone has been overheating and force crashing. I am just going to use 20MP Superior Auto only first. I didn't quite take a good look at Xperia Xposed features since I'm kinda fine with the stock setup myself.
Hope this helps.
I used kingroot as I was unable to get the other root method to work both on Linux and Windows 7. Currently unable to install busybox at all. What could be preventing me from doing so?
