Right guys,
As you know it, Themer doesn't display Themes on 1280x800, 800x1280, 1920x1200, 1200x1920, 600x1024 and 1024x600 resolutions !
I found a working way to display Themer Themes on these displays.
Maybe the tips have been posted ago, sorry for double posting then.

Don't Blame if your tablet become unusable, It's your fault NOT mine :silly:

What you need :
- Adb or Terminal Emulator
- 3rd Party Softkeys (I used well known PIE Controls)
- A third party launcher since stock launcher cause SystemUI FC (I used Nova Launcher)
- 2 Minutes of your LIFE :silly:

Let's get started.

Before you start, add these line to your build.prop
Code: 
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

For Android 4.1.x and Android 4.2.x :

Via Adb :

Code: 
cd c:/
cd adb (or wherever you have adb)
adb shell
su
am display-density 240
am display-size 720x1280 (example Nexus 7)

or

Code: 
 wm display-density 240
wm display-size 720x1280
exit (to exit shell)
adb reboot

Via Terminal Emulator :

Code: 
su
am display-density 240
am display-size 720x1280

or

Code: 
 wm display-density 240
wm display-size 720x1280
reboot

For Android 4.3 and Above:

Via Adb:

Code: 
cd c:/
cd adb
adb shell
su
[COLOR="Red"]wm[/COLOR] density 240
[COLOR="Red"]wm[/COLOR] size 720x1280

or

Code: 
 am density 240
am size 720x1280
exit
adb reboot

Via Terminal Emulator :

Code: 
su
[COLOR="Red"]wm[/COLOR] density 240
[COLOR="Red"]wm[/COLOR] size 720x1280

or

Code: 
 am density 240
am size 720x1280
reboot

Softkeys/Navbars still here ?
use
Code: 
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
in build.prop instead. (just change 0 with 1 :p )

Don't want to hide Softkeys/Nav bars ?

Try this, However SystemUI may FC whatever you use a 3rd Party Launcher or NO !
To keep navbars, use "1184x768" resolution (aka Nexus 4 resolution with Softkeys) instead.

Screenshots :

Nothing here so far :laugh:

I no longer have the Nexus 7, so please do post screenshots in replies if it's working for you !


That's it,
Hope you like it :angel:

Regards,
Nonta

Hi, my phone screen resolution 1280x800, 320DPI with soft navi, running CM12 Lollipop 5. 0. 2. I want to use Themer but it always show this when I press browser:
7ccb8f3dc5353cad335dd247b06f4f0d.jpg

So I searching in Google and found this topic, I did everything but still get above error, did I miss/wrong something?
b34a299a105578982e1210f8876624a6.jpg

When add line code you give into build.prop file, should I reboot phone then do next, or keep doing follow your tip?

You're using wrong command ;)
the correct command for LP should be
Code: 
wm density 240 && wm size 1280[COLOR="Red"][B]x[/B][/COLOR]720
Take care of the "x" (red colored in my command) instead of using the asterics (*)

And yes, you need to reboot your device after you modified the build.prop
A full reboot is recommended :good:
