DPI

Default System UI DPI - User interface density, can be reflected on statusbar, Recent apps, etc. This one can't get you outside of your current mode.

Default User DPI Is the one used when your app is not on pad.prop list, so when you run a new app that it's installed by you, and not on /system/app, it will run at this density. This one cant get you outside your current mode neither.

Message that appears every time that you change DPI or layout mode for any app IS NORMAL, we put in there so changes can be applied, APP IS NOT FORCE CLOSING, we're asking you to force close, please read at least!

FAQ

FAQ < ParanoidAndroid betadan.com/paranoid/faq/

Global density

Is the one used by your hardware configuration and all non PAD touched applications. It's the old one that you can change with build.prop, and this one can get you outside of tablet mode - Phone mode. Don't touch it if you dont know what you're doing. This one has nothing to do with PAD or PAL, as it's the one designed by google.

Google Apps

Google Apps Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) Universal Packages [5]

Google Play

Google Play does not allow density changes and will stop working if you mess around with that. This rom fixes that problem for you 100%.

Kernels

The following kernels have been used with PA HD2

tytung_HWA_r2.3uM

HTCLEO-Kernel_2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.4-uniMAC [6]

HTCLEO-Kernel_2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.4-uniMAC-update [7]

Dorimanx kernel 6.9 HWA [8]

When using different kernels don't forget to use this ROMs ramdisk (initrd.gz) otherwise your WiFi won't work.

Keyboard

Keyboard must be on the same global density, for both tablet and phone mode. This also applies for some apps like facebook, otherwise it produces some visual bugs (images getting cut, etc).

Users who have problems with softkeys overlapping the keyboard please flash ParanoidAndroid-0.9b-KEYBOARDFIX via recovery. [9]

Launchers

It is recommended to use all launchers on Phone mode, and highest density (240 for HDPI, or 320 for XHDPI). If DPI’s are lower that some magic values, it may cause crashes when using themes.

OTA

OTA (Over The Air) tool is not ready/compatible with our HD2 yet. Don't use it for updating the rom !

Statusbar

Statubar Toggle is a core feature of Paranoid Android that enables you to show or hide statusbar with a single tap [15]

Tablet Mode

If you see the dock on launchers in tablet mode, and not the old layout, this is NORMAL, it was ugly before, and now it's preset to phone mode at 240 density. If you want to get the old ugly tablet mode for launchers, go to settings > paranoid > hybrid settings > list apps, select your launcher, put density to 120-140 and put in on tablet mode
