Hello everyone,

Last week, I did something stupid. I was looking into updating my Samsung Galaxy S10 to Android 13, and for that, I had to perform a bootleg on my phone. Since I don't have enough knowledge about it, I followed a video tutorial. However, I don't think they explained everything correctly because I encountered an error while loading my phone. To fix this, I had to reinstall the firmware and then restart it. But after the restart, the Samsung interface and all my apps appeared much larger, which is extremely annoying. I have already tried going to the accessibility options and adjusting the icon grid, but it only helps with a small part of the interface. Can someone help me?

I know it's dumb to do this without enough knowledge, but I still wanted to give it a try.

What do you mean by "bootleg"?

I'm not sure how it is called I thought it called bootleg.
I got stuck in the blue Download screen for samsung s10.
It looked like this:

After that I had to reinstall the firmware but I didn't find a firmware option for my country so I installed from a country nextdoor.

When I signed in to the phone the UI was waaay bigger than before.

You mean you installed a different CSC? As long as the firmware is for your model number, it should be fine. To change the UI size go into Display Settings.

What is the model number of your device? I can help you look for the latest firmware on SamMobile.

Yes other country but the right firmware. I already changed the display settings but that doesn't solve the problem. my interface in different apps is also way bigger.

My model number is: SM-G973F/DS
Country: Belgium

(but I installed from the Netherlands, but i think that is not the problem)

Did you wipe data when you installed the firmware?

Well, I would always recommend wiping data when flashing a different CSC.

What should I do to get my old ui back should I do another firmware update to hopefully get my old interface back. I think it could have something to do with the android version?

Before I did the firmware manually I just had the stock phone with its automatic update. I see there are different android version for the samsung s10. with the firmware update I now have:

android: 12
One UI version: 4.1
