[MultiDPI] Galaxy S Pack from Xan! UPDATED FOR GINGERBREAD!

slider2828 · May 25, 2011

Just in case someone missed the thread.

Since we don't have CWM, follow the instructions below

Download the GalaxySPack...

Unzip files in /system/app.

Backup your phone's file.apk that you are about to copy from GalaxySPack and also the odex file. (You can rename the files xxx.apk.bak, xxx.odex.bak)

Copy the files in your phone's /system/app/, reboot and there you go.

Done.

Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" Button for me is all I ask.

*** There is also the MultiDPI Video Player and Camera, but it doesn't seem to affect our phone. Should work on any DPI.

FOR Gingerbread Install.... (Other APK's are coming)

1. Download unsignedDialerTabActivity.apk
2. Rename to DialerTabActivity.apk
3. Backup your Original DialerTabActivity in \system\app
4. Copy new DialerTabActivity.apk
5. Hit the Thanks Button for me please (I actually did this one on my own)

Enjoy!

P.S. Music Player is the same for GB.

Sorry I am a noob but just trying to figure out what this is supposed to do?
Is it just an app that runs on any dpi?

The zip contains apks. Basically you replace the apks from this zip into your /system/app

Like the DialerTabActivity.apk or MusicPlayer.apk. These apk's are modded to support most DPI changes. So you just replace away, but a good idea is to back your old apk hahaha....

Hope that helps.

Whats the benifit to replacing the stock apk files?

Read the other thread about MultiDPI apks.

When you change DPI's certain things like the phone dialer doesn't scale correctly. These APKs does...

If you don't change DPI's on your infuse, don't worry about it.

Did you rename DialerTabActivity.odex to Something like DialerTabActivity.odex.bak

?

flipwalter76 · May 25, 2011

Of course not! That would have been the smart thing to do! Can anyone post the original for me?

I have the black galaxy pack applied, would that have caused an issue?

Wait there are two files that you had to modify in your phone.

You replaced DialerTabActivity.apk from the .zip THEN you have to remove or rename DialerTabActivity.odex

THEN REBOOT!

Did you do this?

flipwalter76 · May 25, 2011

No, I re read the instructions you clearly posted, kicked myself, and it works splendidly now. THANKS!

HAHHAA its all about reading.....

Try it for the music.apk, its nice especially when you turn on visualize for a song. Its so nice on a horizontal screen on a 4.5" screen!

S2K_MoZo · May 25, 2011

Awesomeness dood! I am going to try this right now

S2K_MoZo · May 25, 2011

Okay, so I made the change and my thoughts:

Dialer works perfect, music player works too but my biggest concern is that my grid where I can place icons and the apps drawer is still in the top left corner.

It's almost like phone doesn't know I can put icons in the bottom right.
What do I need to change in order to fix that?
Basically the layout of the phone does not recognize all the extra space I have now?

How can I take a screenshot to show you guys?

S2K_MoZo · May 25, 2011

It kinda looks like this. Any ideas?

assuming you copied files to /sdcard/settings/apps/ and run as su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=240/ro.sf.lcd_density=190/g' /system/build.prop

cp -rf /system/app/DialerTabActivity.apk /sdcard/settings/backup
cp -rf /system/app/DialerTabActivity.odex /sdcard/settings/backup
cp -rf /system/app/TouchWizCalculator.apk /sdcard/settings/backup
cp -rf /system/app/TouchWizCalculator.odex /sdcard/settings/backup

rm /system/app/DialerTabActivity.apk
cp /sdcard/settings/apps/DialerTabActivity.apk /system/app/
rm /system/app/TouchWizCalculator.odex
cp /sdcard/settings/apps/TouchWizCalculator.apk /system/app/

reboot

i use AWD Launcher to fix launcher problem

S2K_MoZo · May 25, 2011

I used root explorer to copy the files over and set permissions.
It was launcher issue...I changed the launcher to launcher pro and it works like a charm now at 200 density for now. I might change it to 190 but I think 200 is a decent enough density

Thanks everyone

Dude 190 is WAYYY better.... at 200 there is a little oversharpness by samsung's filters. 190 really creates more of a rounded letter... Doesn't make that big of a difference.

Also in LauncherPro you can change the number of rows or columns on the home screens + have it automatically size widgets and placement of icons to get that even look.
