Nope... Every image that I set as a wallpaper, it ends up having to be cropped in either "Photos or the Gallery" apk. I then have to crop the photo to the pic/area that I want to use and then center it so that the orientation of the pic fits the lock screen properly.

There isn't any lock screen wallpaper problem. However, there is a theme chooser issue, but that's an issue with Theme Chooser - not the ROM. The workaround is to manually apply a ls wp via Dirty Tweaks.

The function isn't necessary. The fix is to change the DPI back to the stock DPI. There's zero need to use xposed.

The function isn't necessary but how much of the work you do is out of necessity? Stock Android works well out of the box.

The specific function I'm requesting is normally functioning play store at the default DPI of 420. Existing solutions are to extract the TBO play store apk or use xposed. Going back to 480 DPI is a bs solution. You can say "we cannot/will not implement that feature at this time," but not that there's no need.


[If there's any doubt that it's my setup, I just did another clean install and created a test google account. Amazon and Real Racing 3 were not available (can't remember other apps that were problematic months ago). I did literally nothing besides install gapps and create an account to access the play store. It is the latest stable release and stock pa gapps linked in the first post.]

You might try the Play services add-on available at the bottom of the PA Gapps page at XDA as it actually seems to adjust the playstore for whatever dpi it finds on the device if I'm understanding the script correctly.

Scroll to the list of add-ons at the bottom. Never tried it though since I use TBO Gapps. I never noticed any problems with PA Gapps at 420, but then I don't use either of the apps you mention.

Thanks, I did some playing around with it. This is what happened:

1. Flashed that play services add-on to stock DU, Amazon not available.
2. Clear data/cache for play services and play store, reboot. Not available, even after 3 cycles
3. Restore 480 DPI, clear cache/data, reboot. Still not available
4. Flash add-on again at 480 DPI, now available
5. Return to 420 DPI, don't clear cache/data, reboot. Still available
6. Clear cache/data, reboot. Still available
7. Flash add-on again at 420, clear cache/data, reboot. No longer available

These lines go in the log
getprop_density= Display density of your device as determined by getprop command in recovery (xxx)
default.prop_density= Display density of your device as shown in /default.prop (xxx)
build.prop_density= Display density of your device a shown in /system/build.prop (xxx)

So I'm guessing whatever the update does, it must be done with the DPI at 480 and it will stick unless you update again at the wrong DPI. If I had some foresight, I'd have checked the actual logs when it was flashed at 420 to see if maybe a mismatch in the numbers was causing the problem.
 
One more possibility (untried also as I don't use PA Gapps). This seems to be the latest version of the Play Store (same one in current TBO Gapps) with all the multi-dpi stuff. Not inverted, just like TBO. NYCHitman had formerly recommended the ones on the first page of this thread, but the OP hasn't had a chance to update to the latest yet.

That's it for me, I have nothing else. :D
 
New DU Test build 09/14 up on DU Google+ by Edwin :thumbup:. As stated before Edwin is one of Josh's colleague's and is putting out builds when Josh is busy.
Downloaded now and flashing in 1, 2, 3....
 
Edwin is the one who does the Grouper builds i have on my Nexus 7 Tilapia-turned-Grouper. Great stuff. :)
 
Oh Cooll! :thumbup: Yeah so far the new Test build is running great! Looking for any new features and goodies!! I see he has his own Kernel version... Not sure if its any different than Josh's new Kernel, (spaceman kernel 3.4.86+)... Seems to be working and running smooth so far though!! :)
 
New test build is up. It's mostly for those who use Theme Chooser. There were some fixes that we had recently pushed for testing.
 
Does screencasting work? I flashed play services after Edwin's 9-14 build and it won't detect chromecast, only upnp TVs.

Uncertain. I haven't tried it in a while. However, the last time that I did - it was functional. It's possible that something was merged along the way that may have broken it.

Once I get home from my business trip - I'll let you know and then look into it.

Your 9-17 build works with chromecast. I don't know what Edwin adds to his.
 
Any ideas as to why when I try to receive a photo via NFC the playstore opens and says item not found? I can send a photo the same way no problems.

I am getting a lot of restarts when I press the microphone from Hangouts. Once it restarts all is good. Is this a GAPPs issue or a known issue with this ROM? I am on DU_hammerhead_4.4.4_20140914-1857.v7.9-TESTBUILD

Yes I'm too also confused about the microphone from within Hangouts!?... Are you meaning "Speaker Phone" by chance?
 
Biaviian said:
You know, that icon that lets you do speech to text. I'm not sure what it's called. I don't have the issue from any other app just from Hangouts. Then again I rarely use it outside of hangouts.

I tried the "Microphone" text to speach in both hangouts messaging and in the hangouts dialer and neither one is causing any issues or restarts ofthe device.
What version of Hangouts are you using?
What Gapps package are you using?

I'm on the newest Hangouts version - 2.3.7
Hangouts Dialer app - 0.1.7
Also using the DU TBO 08/10/14 Gapps package
If that help
