OMG YEAH! Thanx a lot!!!

i saw the reddit thread adn i tired but i was not able to do it please help someone

Um..... I tried, but the method 'moves' status bar, not 'increase status bar height'.....
when I move down status bar, a empty space appears... (which can't touch... a null space)
conclusion : I failed, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to CHANGE status bar height, not MOVE status bar....:crying::crying::crying:

Yeah same issue i got the status bar with the level of notch but there was a empty space above

what happens if you try to change the DPI within developer options instead of the display settings ?
See here -> Method 2

[changing DPI within developer settings] is not working. if i input any dpi value, nothing happens. dpi doesn't change.

thats weird .... should work. I never had a phone were this doenst work

Someone install the MiAPPA app from Play Store, in vision settings please check custom DPI. It's probably 444 or 422.

Fixed this with ADB. 430 DPI works perfectly. Default is 444. Cheers.

@kurogami95
but thats only an individual solution ... what if i want smaller DPI

Ok this also happens with me! So what i did to fix
Step 1 go to developer options and find 'smallest width'
Under drawing section
Enter 440 in it
Step 2 go to accessibility
Open that display size set to default
Step 3 go to display
Set font size
Set it to Small (s)
Then restart it
And finally it fixed!

From what I understand
1. Apply a dpi setting of choice
2. Run that app to fix the notch
Is that all?
Also, what is the default dpi for this device?

doesnt work for me
I'm on ROM version 9.6.14

is it fixed with new Global Stable 9.6.22 ?
Changelog mention something about Statusbar height.
New Beta/Dev 8.9.20 is still suffering from this issue

I set smallest width dpi on redmi k20 pro as 4500 and phone turned off. Now it's in a auto restart loop. How do I rectify this?

cleaner/more professional looking s2

alright here is something you can do to make your s2 look more professional. well, i guess its more of a personal preference. i just want to share it cause im lovin my s2 again with this easy tweak
i totally forgot about this, but while at work, it hit me back. change LCD DENSITY!!
REQUIRES ROOT!!! DONT BLAME ME IF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOUR S2.
for those who dont know what changing LCD DENSITY does. its like changing the screen resolution of your PC, but with android an increased LCD DENSITY makes everything look bigger.
default LCD DENSITY for our sgs2 is 240. i changed mine to 200. and it looks great.
you can find a LCD DENSITY CHANGER in the market. i used ROM TOOLBOX. or you can manually change it by editing the BUILD.PROP under /system ....i ended up using ROM TOOLBOX cause everytime i change the number from 240 to what ever number manually it just wont accept the changes. anyways use root explorer or a similar app to browse /system ...mount R/W ...and search for BUILD.PROP, press and hold for pop up menu then choose "open in text editor". look for the line *ro.sf.lcd_density=240* ....edit 240 to what ever number. save and reboot phone. like i said manually editing BUILD.PROP didnt work on my STOCK ROOTED s2 but you can try.
the only issue ive encountered so far is the phone dial keypad. you can see it from the last pic below. also if you are going to do this i suggest using a keyboard that has HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT feature like ULTRA KEYBOARD
here are screenies.... enjoy
lcd density=200

dialer problem....but still usable
Just a warning - Starting a month or two ago, Google changed the market to start blocking apps from the market if the phone was running a nonstandard density.
So if you do this and start getting all sorts of compatibility warnings from the Market - undo it.
You can periodically change it back to 240, reboot, clear market data and get your updates and download anything that is marked as incompatible and then change it all back again if you are really wanting the lower DPI.
Also, there's a fix for the dialer. Check the themes section.

[Q] [REQ] Transparent status bar?

Hi, so as the title says... Just want to ask if there will be a transparent status bar feature?
It would be really nice to see it there, even in beta testing...

Good Changes! :good:
Saw that it arrived yesterday with an update, however the levels of transparency seem to be a bit broken.
If you select full transparency it doesn't seem to work, and just defaults to full black. (At least on the MotoX, anyway)
Additionally, if you select 'always show notification bar', the transparency option disappears entirely. (is this because it becomes adjustable within the widget setting instead?)
And finally, the transparency seems to have a forced gradient effect at all times, will there be a way to change this?

Hi,
Our team are still working on full transparency settings, as we want to make sure that the features will work 100%. So yes, we understand your frustration, but hopefully within the next update we'll include full transparency and gradient toggle support
I know there's a way but I don't know exactly "where" since I don't even know how to create a theme so maybe a theme maker knows?
This one have transparent default

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This one doesn't have statusbar on default
But you can pull it down which is exactly the look I'm after (until you do anything at all and it dissapears again)
So I've tried everything in settings
Which only makes it black
But there's obviously a way to make it persistent and transparent through the theme itself - how?
EDIT: Aha just unlock the widgets and longpress the statusbar and voilá - seems to be persitent (although I have a bunch of xposed modules that alters the statusbar)
Good!

You should report to google developers
xposed framework
app settings add on
you could change the dpi/font, etc for that specific app which is the only solution i can think of for now
Mine looks completely normal.

Yup, same here, but we're running at 400 DPI, while OP is running at 320. Still weird that the text is so small compared to 400 DPI, though.
OP, what's your system font size set to?

Ohh! My Font settings was "smallest" and one option on the gmail setting was somthink like "adjust mail to fit screen" (translated from my phone language) was checked. Changing the system font size make it readable again. Thanks to all, Cheers!!!

what DPI settings have you used?
After upgrading gmail on my phone, I also noticed straightaway how small the font was; hardly usable. On my tablet, it is fine. I went into accessibility settings, changed it to large; this fixed it, but across the whole system, large fonts are not great.

I had the same setting: "Auto-Fit messages". Now I have turned it off, and it is much better. However, the previous version worked fine with the same setting.
There is still the issue of too much wasted space on the new version. Maybe it is my normal initial reaction to such a big change, but so far, I find it a step backward on phones (tablets are ok).

Status Bar Fonts

Is there a way of increasing the size of the font on the status bar. They are very small and difficult to read.

Really I looked for many time and only editing some framework can enlarge specifically the letters in notifcation bar but I find an option that improves this and it is a feature that is included in almost all nougat rom based on AOSP; changing display size, for access to this hidden menu in miui you have to install from Play Store "Activity Launcher" go to All apps
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then go to Settings/Vision Settings
Then Display Size
And finally select the size, I have it in this point cause the maximum level also enlarge the icons and can look some weird
And in this roms is most optimized the size of letters, don´t change the size applying themes https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76049325&postcount=65
Thanks :good:, apparently app hasn't been updated since 2015, but working in MIUI 9.5 (Nougat):victory:.
Thanks. I used it to make screen size smaller.
I used Nova launcher activity shortcut.
Thanks, I will definitely increase the font to my mother.. She really needs some HUGE fonts to read hahah
I also found other app that does the same but it has this option "vision settings" more accesible. it works for miui, you´ll find it in Play Store; it´s called "MiAppa"
And an additional step to get optimum size (at least the most you can cause there is not an app that can change dpi per section) for users with some visual deficiency or that simply prefer enlarge all, is to set dpi to 490 value (for miui) and the size letter to medium, to change easily dpi there is an app like "Root essentials"
Don´t combine the two things, display size with dpi changed so display size works better with stock dpi cause the apps that can change display size don´t have all the steps in sizes like aosp roms integrated to display menu natively.

Broken DPI scaling on EMUI9

Hello.
May someone be interested. EMUI9 have broken DPI scaling, minimal width option in Developers settings working only on apps (some internal also) but lockscreen, notifications or icons (on the top, and launcher) still became large.
Attached screen shows quick settings panel with minimal width 530 dp in Dev settings.
Additionally, after phone reboot, it is reverting to default values (423 dp if chosen smallest screen size in settings).
Huawei agent told me that for sure it is bug, not feature.
I sent ticket to Huawei, maybe they fix this but i think we can raise up chance by mailing more from you...
What i checked, issue is not linked to P10, i.e. P20 Pro or Mate 20 series running on EMUI9 also have the same issue.
Regards.

Yes, bootloader is locked and it is my first phone which i don't want to root, because some bank apps are unable to pay via NFC when phone is rooted/unlocked.
It does not change nothing, official software should be done enough for end users, bugs like scaling is unacceptable...
After 3 weeks i've got answer from Huawei regardin DPI scaling.

Everything is super huge when using the default settings - that's really not good news. They made it unfortunately worse.
