Minimum width developer setting missing - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Anyone else noticed in the developer options, the setting to change the DPI (minimum width) is just not there? Never run into an Android phone on Nougat missing this setting before. Anyone know if there's a way to adjust it or get it back?

It was missing on the G6 too. Bastards, lol.

Is there any kind of workaround? The default sizing of everything is just too big.

My G6 is my backup phone, so I haven't tried anything to remedy this. I did read that there is a way to do it through ABD commands, but I haven't tried it myself. We used to have root for US LG phones, and changing the dpi was one of the first things I'd do. Changing the dpi would break several of the LG apps, so perhaps they removed the option in order to avoid that.

I remember trying to use ADB commands when I had the AT&T LG G6, and it didn't work. I assume that the V30 won't work either, so I haven't even tried. If you want to try, Google how to change dpi with ADB command, then let us know if it works or not. :good:

How to change DPI non-root?

Just got the G5 to move back from iPhone to android. Hate iPhone! But it's silly that my iPhone 6S can fit more content on the screen and it is a highly inferior screen than the G5...
Is there any easy way to change DPI without being root? What's the recommended DPI for this screen without breaking apps like camera?
Ideally would like to root and install app settings & xposed but not sure if my model can be rooted yet. It's the international model bought from EE in the UK.
How do I check for locked bootloader?
Rockin my G5
Hello, I know i'm late but I just got my G5 today and was looking for information much like you were but didn't find any so i experimented. to note, i do have the t-mobile variant so obviously if you have a different version of the phone your results could be different. I haven't tried any DPI's lower than 560 but that being said 560 seems to be perfectly stable and was easily changed through adb! and WOW does it make a difference on this device! for me at least, 560 seems to be the sweet spot! Really, i don't understand why OEM's don't set their DPI's to reasonable settings in the first place.. i mean, we have quad-hd displays for androids sake, LET US USE THEM.. anyways, rant aside:
You'll want to install ADB and the LG drivers obviously but once that's setup go to your phone, enable developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM unlock (the latter may not be necessary but my device wasn't being recognized initially so i enabled it. Also, for some reason i'm finding with this phone that it doesn't want to be recognized in MTP (file transfer) mode but seems to work fine in "camera mode".
first, type "adb devices" to make sure that the device is being recognized.
once your device is being recognized by adb (it may say unauthorized, ignore this) simply type the following command.
"adb shell wm density 560 && adb reboot"
or you can obviously change out the number to whatever DPI you want, but the lower you go the higher the chance that things like the camera will stop working properly. So far i have not had any issues at all with any system apps, the camera seems to have scaled perfectly as it should and this is generally the app that breaks for me. if i find any apps or anything not working i'll update my post here, but so far so good!
I hope this helps you out! If you have any further questions let me know!!
(little update, first and ONLY thing i've had issues with is the "always on display" doesn't seem to show time correctly.. oh well!! its a very fair trade and since the always on display can be shut off in settings its not even an eyesore. )
Hey bud,
Tried setting it to 560 using this method, think its probably a tiny bit too small, would probably prefer maybe in the middle between 640 (stock) and 560. I noticed that on 560 swiftkey didnt work properly (cant live without swiftkey!!) and as you said, the always on display showing time - signature works fine though.
Have reverted it for now, maybe yourself or someone will find a perfect number which gives minimal issues with apps. Otherwise, might just wait on root to edit the build.prop instead.

so try a different DPI? just replace 560 in the command with whatever you want to and see how it looks. only takes a couple minutes to do. also, if you like swiftkey.. you should really try Swype. much better keyboard and it scales perfectly with and dpi i've ever tried on any phone.

You need to search for the LG H850 on LG's website. H850 is the actual model number. But as other comments suggest, the drivers for the V10 will probably work fine.

Thank you! That looks awesome. I'm going to do this now.
Edit: SwiftKey does not seem to like the new DPI... keyboard is all messed up looking, haha.
I'm using 600 on mine, everything seems fine.
Is this a code that can be used on any phone? Could I use this on my Xperia Z5?????
I'm using 560 as someone suggested, and LastPass doesnt scale properly and PlaySTore, the blue top dev icon is too large, otherwise no problems at all.
I tried this with 540. Here's the list of things that weren't working right:
Uber | sprites like cars and pins were tiiiiiiiiiiny or squished. Still useable but not pretty.
Anything that required photo cropping or editing (Instagram, Bumble, etc) the photos were multiples larger than they should be | For instance, in instagram, you'd share a photo to it and it'd show up in the initial cropping window as huuuuuge and unscalable, but if you hit next it'd be normal size. So you just had to use guesswork to position the photo.
Swiftkey keyboard | As reported, also displayed HUGE, even though it responded to key presses in the right places.
Starbucks | Also seeing the "dots" on the map that show locations as super tiny. Not a big deal here.
In general, it seems anything that overlays graphical elements or that brings up photos for editing is at risk. I miss how this worked on my G4, but I guess that's because I did it via root. Can't wait.
Reseted the dpi but the always on Screen and the home button are still broken.
Weird thing. I used "wm density x" too, and, well... anything different than 640 (default), and android.process.phone keeps crashing....

I'm sorry to those of you having problems.. Not sure what to tell you though, I changed my dpi to 560 the day I got my phone and the one and only issue I've had so far is my always on display not working right. Every other app has worked flawlessly. For those having problems, what variant of the phone do you own? H830 here

Calling Problems with Nougat

I can't make or receive calls on any N ROMs, everything else works perfectly, any idea why?
Hello . I had this problem on my wife's opx very annoying the issue is with the roms in most cases but, it's normally because they add pixel stuff bundled with the rom... Because everyone loves pixel? Anyway. If you go into build prompt with an app you can download it on Google play.
Check to see if your ro.product.name says oneplus X and nothing else. This was my issue. Weird... I no. But anyway.
If it's not see if anyone can call you. Assuming you have full signal.
Try another phone or contacts app from Google play? The above worked for me but it might be different for you. Try switching brand name to pixel? There is a guide somewhere what to change in build prompt.
In the menus, there is a place to set the default ssm app, phone app...
Just re set it to make the Phone.apk be the phone app.
I've seen it on some users and it worked.
Simple fix happened to me once when I installed google phone. As Keno40 stated you need to set default phone app

change dpi?

so dpi setting is not avail in developer settings. Going into display and setting to small would probably be around 411 dpi. i usually with a qhd set mind to around 450-480. have anyone been able to change dpi with ADB? IF so how.
This is the command...adb shell wm density (what ever size you want, minus the parenthesis) && adb reboot
I haven't tried it on the V30 yet because I just assumed it wouldn't work. It didn't work on the G6 if remember correctly. It won't hurt anything if you try it and it doesn't work. It just won't change anything.
Only thing is, you may not be able to use Android pay.

That may not work, as
most all the ADB commands, at least the flash commands, have been removed on the carrier-branded models.
Only the official carrier unlocked versions have full ADB commands.
If you find different information, please share.

Always-On Display enabled but not working?

I've enabled AOD and for whatever reason, it's not working. I've messed with all the settings in the section, and nothing seems to make a difference.
I did go through and disable a lot of the bloatware on the phone (per this post, though I was selective about what I disabled), and it would make sense to me that something I disabled would be the culprit, but I would expect the AOD options to not even show up in Settings if I had disabled that service.
Any ideas?

And no, menu options won't magically disappear just because you cripple stuff that makes them work...
Many things are connected to each other. So, you'll either get lag (while the software tries to find something that's missing) or stuff just won't work.

Yes, do what I did and hard reset your phone. It'll all restore to stock condition.
BTW for anyone else reading, just "disabling" LG Setup Wizard does not have the same effect as removing using ADB commands -- in other words, Always On Display will continue to work. Once you "uninstall" and reboot, that function ceases to work.

Honor 8x Can't change launcher/ pie controls and vpn not running in background

I just got my 8x in the mail today, love it for the most part, but there are a couple things that are really bugging me about it.
I cant seem to change the launcher no matter what I do. I just don't have the option in the default apps. I've tried multiple different launchers. I also use Pie controls and a vpn. They run in the background when I have the app open. but if I close it I can't get it to stay running silently in the background like I was able to do with all my other phones. I've tried hitting the lock icon on the app when I hit the square and the apps come up.
I have tried allowing it to run in the background using the phone manager. I have turned on ignore battery optimization. I have tried adding the apps as trusted apps. I have tried factory reset after factory reset. I am at a loss. Please, let me know if this is an issue that only I am having, or if this is a problem with emui in general. I am tearing my hair out at this point, and I am going to return the damn thing if I can't get this to work.
Android is about customization, and it seems as if they are trying to strip that ability from us. Navigating my phone is a pain in the butt now, and I don't really know what else to do other than return it, unless someone knows something that I don't.
Thanks.
I have been using the Honor 8x for about a week now. The first thing I did was install Nova Launcher, and I had absolutely not problem doing that.
Not only did the screen pop up after the installation to choose my default app, but there is also the option in Default Apps to set it there as well. See screenshot.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HPPuTjWvFjTGwB270JkpZczg_2qiFTUu
I also had minor issues with apps closing when put in the background, but I turned off the feature, and don't seem to be having those problems anymore. You can change that in Settings -> Battery -> App Launch
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BuKGijCvg9KtyT4jo2Al0WaDE7hougL6
One VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that Honor 8x devices released in different regions have slight differences when it comes to software.
For example, I was watching an Indian review video on youtube, and they were talking about System Navigation, and in his Honor 8x, there was an option to use the iPhone like gestures for navigation. In my Pakistani unit that option isn't there at all.
So do bear this in mind. Have you tried running software update to see if there are any updates/bug fixes for your phone?

I have the Chinese version of the phone, Model number JSN-AL00a I had it imported into the USA. The first thing that I did with the device is factory reset it and use the gms installer And yes, the first thing that I did after that was update the phone. I think the first thing I am going to do when I get home is try downgrading the device or reinstalling the firmware using hiSuite if that's even an option. Do you know if it is possible to install a different region on it?
Also the data is locked to 2G for my provider but I rarely use data, so I really don't care about that. Was hoping maybe I could do a kernal update and unlock some US friendly bands. But I know the bootloader can't be unlocked so that's a pipe dream.
I guess when I get home from work I will try the downgrade, if you have any suggestions as to what I can do in the meantime let me know.
Thanks.

I'm sorry I have no idea how your would go about downgrading the firmware on the honor 8x.
Honestly, the phone has been globally released, and I would return that Chinese unit, and get the global retail version if possible in USA, or at least get an EU market unit.
Also, it might be possible to upgrade the firmware with a global version, but I have no clue how to go about doing that.
it is entirely possible that the Chinese variant is intentionally set to not allow you to change the launcher, although I am just guessing.
EDIT: The version I have, the build number is JSN-L22 8.2.0.101 (C185).

Looks like the global version doesn't support enough bands for me to use it in the USA effectively. Oh well. If I can't get it figured out tonight I am going to send it back. The retailer I bought it off on Ebay already sent me a return shipping label. So we will see what's going on tonight. Worst case I have to go back to my crappy lg v10 until I can find something else. Any suggestions on a different mid-budget phone just in case I have to send this one back?

Nokia 7 plus, the Nokia 6.1 Plus with stock android and unlockable bootloader is a good option in the midrange segment.
Mi A2 is decent, but has it's drawbacks like no headphone jack, and a fairly small (3080 mah) battery by today's standards.
The Mi Redmi Note 5 pro and the Mi Redmi Note 6 pro are also good, but come with MIUI which may not appeal to many. You can put your own custom launcher, but some people prefer stock.
So nothing I did worked, and I couldn't change the region. But I did notice that even after a factory reset of the phone that google services stayed on the phone. I know this is a long shot, but is it possible that the gms installer corrupted something? if so, how would I go about uninstalling?
Thank You, I too had this launcher problem ... but now when I make it default, it is forcing me to add a screen password/pin. Not allowing me to install without a pin/password. This is irritating.

My phone is Honor 8X Max. After installing ARE-AL00 8.2.0.134(C00) I can't change luncher. No option to set launcher here: Settings->Apps and notifications->Default apps. Any idea to get this option back or how back to previous firmware?
This is ridiculous. I have the same problem and I am at a total loss. This is complete bull****.... I can set a Dozent of Default Apps. But the launcher option is completely missing... Wtf
Is there a way to bypass the default huawei launcher? on the ARE-AL00 8.2.0.134 (C00) Build?
Okay nvrmind, i found what i was looking for guide-remove-apps-bloat-adb-root tread carefully tho, since removing somne stuff can result in a brick.
Also this prodcedure to get another launcher to be enabled permanently is only needed on a Chinese Rom.... furthermore make sure you have the 3rd party launcher of your choice installed prior to remocing stuff ...
I removed
com.huawei.android.launcher
com.huawei.vdrive
com.huawei.vassistant
that did the trick for me, at least for now ... Nova gets picked up as only Launcher and all is dandy, also vassistant removes the chinese voice helper thing, so you can run google assistant with a long press on the middle menu button ....
For further reference on what to remove check these Links ( pasted from the afforementioned Thread) credit for these links belong to mattrask i just put them here for easier acces

I have installed Apex Launcher and if I remove com.huawei.android.launcher then will always run Apex Launcher when I press the middle navigation button?
Hooray!
I was succeeded changing the launcher!
Although it was very difficult ...
I am sorry that I am not good at English because I am Japanese.
--------------------------------------------
Be sure to install the launcher software, you want to use first.
<I use the Microsoft launcher>
After that,
From PC,
the command
"adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.launcher"
send.
It is safer than uninstallation.
By the way it is necessary to set the "developer mode" and set the USB debug mode etc.
However, a concrete method, that is, how to connect to a PC, how to send an adb command, etc., is omitted here.
The launcher that was originally included remains in the body without being erased so it is safer than uninstallation.
When installing multiple launchers, at this point, you will see a selection screen of which launcher to use.
Please be aware that when you open the default application settings screen, the original launcher is restored. Conversely, it is safe as you can restore it.
I am sending comfortable everyday without witnessing the launcher that was originally included. Of course, the home button will call the desired launcher.

"adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.launcher"
send.

It works, but after restarting phone, again back 'huawei launcher'. Is there way to disable 'huawei launcher' without using PC?
I found bug. If I disable com.huawei.android.launcher, then not work 'ultra power saving mode'.

Hi doesntfazer,
would you be so kind to tell me where did you download your GMS installer? Have you got that link, yet?
My Chinese phone is JSN-AL00a just like your: I downloaded and installed so many packages of GMS installer, but none of them did worked for me.
10x in advance
--- EDIT
Solved! (Thanks, btw)

Hi
I am having the same problem of not being able to change the default launcher. Mine is Chinese version with Google play installed already. It came today.
How to change the default launcher? I shall be thankful.
Hi,
I was not able too: there are so many problems with it, (as I read in other topics), that I have decided to wait.
Actually, I was only able to install on my device the entire Google world.

Launcher Options after update
Hi there, I got the Honor 8xMax and I was able to at first change the launcher, then after a software update, the option to change was gone, NOW after another update, the option is BACK but it says "You will not be able to switch back to a third-party launcer if you swithch to Huawei Home." I havent switched to Huawei Home after the update and the other launcers I have are there but they arent lit up for me to chose and the one that's lit up says Drawer Home. What can I do to choose Microsft Launcher? If I do a factory reset and start over, how can I get Microsoft Launder to be my default?

Exactly that same for me.
I was looking for help on Internet and I did not find it.
Now I have a shortcut to the Apex Launcher at the bottom of the main screen. When I press the center navigation button, then I immediately click on the shortcut. I double click to make Apex Launcher appear.
