I have Nexus 5 with Chroma installed and Pioneer 4100NEX.
I plug in my phone into USB port 2, go thru setup process on my phone, then I get to this screen on my head unit. I can't seem to get pass it. Anyone have any ideas? I tried restoring my head unit and phone, but I haven't tried a different ROM yet. My head unit detects the AndroidAuto device, but I can't get pass this "Drive safely..." prompt.
Well, I cannot post any links yet, but I'll do my best to explain the screen I see. The bottom half of screen is sky blue with a checkbox and "do not display this notice again." I have seen other videos where this sky blue portion is only along the bottom of the screen, but mine takes up half the screen. The checkbox to accept the prompt overlap with "do not display this notice again," so I can't get pass it...

Hiya
Are you using cm 12.1 nightly? Looks like the density / resolution is off so the button you need is hidden.
They changed something in one of them which mucks up the screen density / resolution.
I found the 22nd nightly for one plus works at the right resolution which will allow you to click the buttons you need.
Check your devices cm change log for density and goto the night before.

Sorry just saw chroma mentioned in your post... Stand by that the density is wrong as such would try a different room. Shouldn't look like that.
Appreciate the tip. I found the density setting. Mine is currently at "480 DPI (device default)."

Hiya
I don't think that makes much / any difference, didn't for me, that changes the density on the phone but not on android auto.

Hi, I'm running into the issue that the screen is being rendered larger than the physical size of the screen so status boxes sometimes partially off screen and app icons get half hidden in the corners.
I plaid around with build.prop, but it didn't really help any. Is there a way to modify the home screen without changing the resolution? Also, if anyone knows of a way to change icon sizes short of installing a different launcher, that would be a huge plus.
TIA!
I've read that there are limitations in place for the preview image that kind of create this problem. If I understand the problem correctly it may be a case of changing pixel density but the preview image doesn't let you go beyond a certain density so even then the problem still exists. It's probably just something we have to deal with until Honeycomb becomes publically available for development.
This makes sense. The only reason I care about this is that when I use Aldiko, I can't see the top line of text because it pushes the words above the actual screen.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an E-Reader that they use successfully on HC???

You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
I haven't really looked into this but I do know there are ports of honeycomb for various phones such a the evo, maybe try pulling the build.prop from one of those and see howe they altered screen density.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i've tried changing the number but havent had much success through the buid.prop. Any ideas on a good number and which number to change? Looks like there are 3 density numbers
For Honeycomb, I found that 120 is the best lcd density, it shows all the options when you expand the settings from the clock, it also displays the correct number of running apps in the quick change button (or whatever you call it) Also, Lcddensity is a good app for trying out diffrent settings. For Aldiko, I recommend increasing the margin size to see the top line of text, not a perfect solution, but it works.
Hi, I am fairly new to Android development. I have a question regarding the Galaxy S. What is the stock screen density of this phone in 2.1? I am trying to create the Galaxy S environment on an emulator so that I can test my application (I do not own one of these phones). Does the density change in later versions?
I have read hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
I know that the phone screen resolution is 480x800.
I am not sure what type of screen it is (Normal or Large), hence I cannot determine the density.
Is there an easy way of determining the density and screen type of a phone?
Thanks!
I do not know how to find out a density of other phones thought its a standard
But Samsung Galaxy S I9000 should have 240 (as seen in build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=240 ) as the standard one and no it doesn't change in the versions.
(I use 200 though looks nicer )
Hmm, strange. The application seems to work fine with that configuration, yet one of the users is reporting an issue. I wonder if he changed the density..
Thanks for your help!
What kind of issue?
Well tell that guy to download spare parts and unticks "compatibility mode" if he is using changed density it may help him.
Grr. It was a simple user error. He thought the background picture was not appearing in the center, when it was. Just the way the picture is.
I started fiddling with making the application accessible to other densities. The AVD comes with a large screen, medium density skin (480x800/480x854 at 160dpi). Are there actually any devices that use that kind of setup? I ran my application at those settings, and for some reason it is loading the mdpi resource, which is designed for a normal screen (640x480).
Thanks for your help Pagot!
Been playing with the Bionic for a day now, (came from LG G2X) and it's pretty amazing. Have it all rooted and such.
Used "Root Explorer" and decided to changed the density from 240 to 190. Looks very nice on that big screen. Everything seems to be working normally, except the lock screen is a little funky. But I didn't mind.
I've never done or heard of changing the pixel density before. What does it do and how did you do it please?

Ohhhhh. If you have used ROMS for other phones, for me it was the X, then you would know about that. Like "Liberty toolbox" and not other "Tool-boxes" let you turn screen settings up or down. To the thread starter, any way to get a pic of "Before" and "After"?

It's an effect you put on the framebuffer to give the illusion of having a higher resolution on your phone. If you lower the pixel density value, it will make everything more spaced out and smaller in general, giving the illusion of the phone having a higher resolution. It adds nothing besides a placebo affect and breaks certain things, such as the lockscreen and the background image for the pull-down bar. If you don't care about those things, you can try it out and test it for yourself. I recommend a value of 200.
Check out lcd density in the market, it is free and there are some screen shots. I have mine set at 200. Make sure to get spare parts from the market and turn off compatibility mode to make some of the troublesome apps fill the screen.
200/220 seems to be the nicest with the pentile display and century gothic as the new stock font, anything lower and you really really see the pixels...bleh
This is something I haven't seen before. I just got a Nexus 6, and on the first day I had it, I poked around on the phone with the OOB configuration, and chrome did work in landscape. Videos would be full screen, etc. Since then, I have:
Upgraded to 5.0.1
Rooted the phone
Removed the encryption
Changed the dpi to 493 with textdroider
Replaced the google launcher with Nova
Set the desktop grid to 8x7
Now, if I switch the chrome into landscape mode, the page takes up the whole screen for about a second, but then half of the screen becomes black, like there is an overlay over it. It cuts off the bottom half of the page. This happens when playing full screen videos in chrome too. Everything else on the phone, including the desktop.
I put the dpi back to its original value, but that didn't matter, so I changed it back. I've also set the desktop grid in Nova back to its original settings, which also didn't matter. I tried using chrome beta, but it has the same issue. Has anyone experienced this before? I haven't found any other examples of this. I tried to take a screenshot to post here, but the screenshot came out looking normal.
Fixed it.
Setting the DPI back to 560 fixed the issue. It must just not like the 493. I tried 520, but that didn't work either. I'm going to try 480 now, since 493 looked pretty nice.

Change lcd density to 560 in /system/build.prop, save changes, exit, and then reboot. 520 was the closest I've found that was free of issues but chrome would still have that issue in landscape with side buttons down. In landscape with side buttons up, however, chrome works fine in landscape in 520. I'm sure other values will provide the same but it seems other apps get affected.
480 was a no-go
Nope, issue persists on 480 too. Guess I'm going to be stuck at 560 until this is figured out.

460 DPI seems to work for me. I had issues with 480 and other DPI I tried as well. Seems hit or miss at certain settings.
460 works fine. I started at 480 and had half black screen as well.
I have been fiddling with different settings and 498 was the lowest/smallest I have been able to get with out any issues what so ever. With other numbers that I have seen seem to work but then I always end up with letters in the keyboard being cut off from the pop-up when I tap them. I don't know much about how the screen works and how scaling works to figure it out which DPI's will work with out any issues.
493 dpi over here.
I experience half black screen bug in landscape when i rotate my phone in such way that my power/volume buttons are on the buttom of the phone and if the keyboard is not present.
if I rotate the phone in proper direction, meaning, when the phone is in a landscape position and my power/volume buttons are located at the top of the phone, bug isn't present.
if keyboard is present and the phone is in landscape mode( power/volume buttons on the bottom) position results in keyboard flashing/constantly trying to redraw itself every time I press on keyboard.
Black overlay bug is system wide for me, not just in chrome(also present in other browsers, message app, file manager, etc), so I think the bug lies in Google Keyboard not liking 493dpi in landscape.
{ I'm as well, removed the encryption, root'ed, 5.0.2(AOSP, LRX22G, Pure Shamu) with Nova(12x7 grid) as default launcher. }
I just wanted to let you know that this issue seems to be resolved on Android 6 / Marshmallow.
I'm now able to set the density to 384dpi without getting the infamous half black screen in landscape mode (when the phone is rotated clockwise).
FYI: 384dpi is the highest value possible to keep the UI in tablet mode (including 4-way screen rotation, etc). From 385dpi up the UI switches to phone mode.
Are there any Marshmallow or Nougat ROMs for the nook HD (Hummingbird) that are 100% right side up?
Does anyone know a fix aside from locking the orientation in settings?
After searching this seems to be the only "fix" I have found.
Every ROM newer than Lollipop that I have tried is flipped 180 degrees. I can lock the launcher to stay correct, but most apps still flip upside down once they are opened.
This is driving me batty.
Thank you

I'm currently working with cm_hummingbird-ota-MMB29T.160129. So far I see no upside-downness except with the HDMI output which is easily fixed (see my related post).
The only issue I have with the ROM so far (except for the ever-present shut-down issue...) is Trebuchet. Removing an icon from the home screen throws it onto a blank page. No big deal, but trying to reposition an icon does the same! I finally just installed Nova Launcher and all is good. So far.
Thanks, I'll give that one a spin once I find the download.
