[SM-G901F] Galaxy S5 Plus - DPI change messes up certain apps. How to fix that? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I changed the DPI of my S5 Plus to 400 instead of the default 480. Some apps now appear in smaller boxes on the screen. For me the biggest problem is that the camera now has this problem.
In other threads people bring this up for the normal s5. The solution is to use Xposed to set custom Appsettings. But the problem is that Xposed doesn't work (yet) on the S5 plus! So is there any other way to fix the camera app?
Cheers!

hmmm.... so how to install it? When I'm in the xposed installer app, it says: Xposed is not yet compatible with android sdk 21 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)...

you just have to flash the latest xposed with your recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65373013&postcount=3960) and install xposed alpha 4 apk
I assume it also works with rovo89's official xposed but I'm not sure.

I think that you should try since we have the same firmware as the "standard" S5. It is just that our device is not very popular and so it is not on the list.

Known issues:
- It seems to boot loop on Samsung stock ROMs. I have received a file which I can use to analyse this issue, but it might take some time.

[Q] Xposed Framework on Lollipop

Hi everybody!
I wonder if the D800 (AT&T's Model for who don't know) it's compatible with Xposed on 5.0.2 (stock Lollipop Rom)...
If anyone knows, please let me know
Thanks in advance, Joe
It is NOT. There are several force closes with quick window app and weather app. Makes the phone unusable.
In the xposed thread is explained that you must uninstall/freeze weather and smart cover apps to make xposed works.

On Sony xperia phones if you install xposed you lose some camera quality because of some encrypted proprietary software.

Xposed on xz3

Hey,
Now that alpha 4 is out, I'm curious to know what xposed modules you are using and on what rom.
I'm new to Sony so I'm first getting to know my phone, before trying to customize it. The only module currently installed is true silent mode, on stock rooted 5.0.2.
What about you ?

Do any of these modules enable vibration intensity control as it's not available in stock lollipop.

How is the 20mp superior auto? Any reason why this option isn't available for stock? Does it put a strain on the hardware or something?

Took this picture yesterday. Works like a charm!
As to why this isn't a stock feature: I really don't know. It doesn't really put any extra strain on the phone performance-wise... At least, not that I noticed.
I have some noon questions, please be kind tried to find out answers on the forum but there is so much old & new information mixed up..
1) Is unlocked bootloader necessary for Xposed to install on lollipop?
2) Is bootloop really fixed now?
Thanks

I am using Xposed and definitely recommend GravityBox if you are running on Google UI. Also App Settings to change DPI of some apps so everything doesn't look that big. Fix Lollipop Memory Leak really helped me maintaining more free RAM after long periods without reboot.

Firstly install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and then flash the zip archive in your recovery (xposed-v67-sdk21-arm.zip).
In the Xposed Installer app - "Framework" section you should see your installed version of XposedBridge.jar.
I am currently running a little older version (v64) but i think that doesn't really matter.

I don't think that's true...
The difference between Google and Lenovo UI is just that few apps from AOSP were replaced by themed ones from Lenovo. That's all.
I've had xposed on Lenovo UI on kitkat 4.4.2 without any problems.
I mean, xposed alone should work regardless of your UI. The problem might be with some xposed modules written specifically for AOSP roms (eg. GravityBox).

Maybe, but do you think that it is so easily? Why we don't have already updated to Android Lollipop 5.1.1 ?
What I know is that Xposed without GravityBox is like holiday without sun...
Can you try GravityBox on your curent setup and write result here, please?
GravityBox official:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 5 (AOSP)
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 5
- supports Motorola Moto G Dual SIM running stock Lollipop
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
im trying on kitkat 4.4.2 (switch to Google style UI)
install xposed
install gravitybox
but gravitybox wont running correctly...
weird...
im try switch to lenovo ui back...
install xposed..
install gravity..
gravitybox work well..
weird...
how to make gravitybox work on 4.4.2 google ui style???
any help please...
on kitkat ROW i use successfully gravity box and xblast tools.... NO PROBLEM.
[I bought a ROW version with Kitkat.
Updated it for Stock Lollipop.
Rooted it with 0_install_root_K920Pro.bat.
Unlocked bootloader with VibeZ2Pro_ROW_UnLock_BootLoader_L using Qfil
Run (did not flash) TWRP 0_run_twrp_recovery_K920Pro.bat
Backed up my working stock ROM
Flashed DragonVibe8 with TWRP run
Installed XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Flashed xposed-v71-sdk21-arm.zip using TWRP run
Installed GravityBox_Lollipop_5.1.4.apk
Everything on Gravity Box works perfectly on Vibe UI.
Installed Titanium backup, froze unwanted apps.
After I was sure, removed all bloatware which were frozen using Titanium backup.
Installed Device control. Modified CPU and GPU settings.
My K920 is now amazing on performance, power backup, functionalities and features in addition to its lovely Hardware (screen, camera and looks).
Thank you

You should disable resource hook before flashing the zip and use the compatible apk it was called xposed magisk apk easy to find

Actually both le pro 3 and le max 2 are working. But if you want to install viper and dolby together, you will need to install old version of VIPER.

You can use arise so you can both have dolby and viper (yes the latest 2.5.0.5 one) plus the magisk compatibility module with the mod. Just configure install options in arise_customize.prop file then flash the zip. And you can try, add/delete other mods (included in arise) by creating other arise_customize.prop files and reflash the same zip to do it too.
