Hoe to enable full screen size for certain "legacy" apps? - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

Hi all, is there an option to enable "full-screen" or "app scaling"? I'm using Buzz launcher and somehow there is no option to enable the launcher to fully stretch to the bottom of screen. Thanks in advance.

i'm also looking for a solution ...
i tried multiple roms , some roms support legacy app scaling and others not ...

[Q] CM7s 'CM Extra' as stand-alone app? Auto Brightness with Milestone/Froyo

Hi!
I'm new in this Forum and want to thank all you for your helpful posts!
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any solution for this problem (which seems to irritate also other users):
After upgrading to Android 2.2.1, 'Auto Brightness' does not work anymore. The problem is, that the Display gets brighter in the sun, but it does not reduce brightness in shade - which is very battery intense and irritating while driving in tunnels.
What I did so far:
+ checked and unchecked the 'Auto Brightness' setting many times ;-)
+ used widgets like 'extended controls' in the hope their settings will overwrite the problematic system-settings
+ was searching for the app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) - which might be able to overwrite system settings. But downloading this app is not available for me (maybe because of country restrictions)
+ I rooted the phone - also for other reasons. With root I hope I can also reduce the minimum brightness level of 'Auto Brightness', which would be helpful using it as an alarmclock next to the bed.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best wishes from Austria!
No ideas to the Auto-Brightness Problem? People from Android-Pit-Forum didn't find a solution. So I changed to the forum with the best reputation ....XDA.. ;-)
It seems, that the light-sensor works well... because the button-light goes on and off according to the surrounding light intensity ...
Any idea or hint?
that's not a bug, that's a feature!
anyway - CM7 has the option just like you ask for - auto adjusting brightness to lower setting. there are also hysteresis options so you can prevent the brigtness going up and down all the time.

Thanx MuF123 for your answer!
This feature sounds great ... but I feel not ready to install CM7. All in all I am happy with my system right now. I learnded in the last two Android-years, that big changes for solving small problems can cause even more problems and time-intense problem solving actions... especially for me as a beginner.
So, does anybody know about a root-app or a module (eg. out of CM7) just for solving this auto brightness bug/feature ;-) ?
It would be very helpfull for me and others ...
this feature is in
Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease"
I wanted to tell you just so you can ask someone else about this exact feature, maybe the "CM Extra" can be installed as stand-alone app? Dunno, try to ask in CM7 thread.

Hi!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post into the developement-forum...
Senior User 'MuF123' informed me, that CM7 has this feature, which I miss a lot (Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease").
My questions:
Can the app "CM Extra" be installed as stand-alone app in my rooted Milestone with Froyo 2.2.1?
Or is there another solution for me?
Not possible. Its integrated to the framework.

You mentioned an app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) before. try to download that app after faking your network using "marketenabler" from market.
just my 2 cents
You can try the widgetsoid app from market.
Great idea!
Thanx. First I have to reanimate my milestone ... I killed it with deinstalling all Launchers ... stupidity pure

I tested widgetsoid ... but it didn't work.
The app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) is not in the market any more ...
... hmm any ideas, how to solve this problem? See my starting post below...

[Q] Nitrality Faster UI

In Nitrality and Spare parts,
There is an option to make the animations faster. After enabling it, the lag on my Note completely disappears !
What does it really do ? Where can I manually adjust those parameters in the system without using those third party apps ?
Thanks!
Framework Res APK does not hold any adjustable parameters regarding Menu transitions that has a delay. :-(
Still Searching...
All it does is either speed up or remove the animations which are one of the causes of lag..

By Any chance do you know, How it is manually done ?
I do not, sorry. All I know is how to do it through Spare Parts or developer options on ICS.
Nitrality Still works. !
Wondering whether its a lib file!

[Q] Can't amend lock screen wallpaper

Whether I go into settings - display - wallpaper,
or
quickpic - select photo - set as lock screen
Neither of these modes 'take' and it just sticks with the same lock screen I've always had.
I wonder if I'm supposed to be performing another step, or whether my phone is just buggered?
Running Ripper ROM v10 and JKay Deluxe14.9.3
Does anyone else have this issue?
Fixed it.
You have to use the Stock Gallery app, so I had to clear defaults in application manager first (I was using Quickpic) and then it worked using Gallery.

I think most mod roms removed the default wallpapers and some apk that support using it to make the rom light, but have options to install them if you needed it or use gallery pictures

Improve Tab S performance

Hi folks,
I read about this in the Tab Pro forum and found that this helps to make Tab S performance snappier with TouchWiz. If you use another launcher, it will be even more snapier. So here are the steps:
1) Enable developer options by tapping Build Number 7 times. You will find Build Number by Settings -> General -> About Device.
2) Once the developer options are enabled, change Window Animation scale, Transition Animation scale, Animator Duration scale from 1x to 0.5x (see attached snapshot)
Regards,
Kalpesh
Tried all that. I would also try disableing system apps and use greenify to hibernate apps until you open them. I also use nova launcher and changed the speeds to fast. I also use a live wallpaper and its all smooth. What font do you use? This is what my tab s looks like. Im am rooted on stock rom.

That doesn't improve the performance, it just hides some of the lags. It is nice that you try to help people (really, it is), but you should have chosen a different headline.
Anyway, I would advise against changing Animator Duration, with it deactivated Hangouts refused to auto scroll to new messages.
Thats like putting a bandaid on a wound. Want to reduce lag? Find the thread that lists all the system apps you can delete.

Missing features and how to cope with it

Hi !
Have you some features that you wish to be included on Emui 8.0 but you have to find an app to make it happened ?
There is my list :
Caffeine > Caffeinate
More Quick Tiles options > Shortcutter Quick Settings
AdBlock > Blokada and Yandex
Merged Storage (or move apps to SD) > not found yet :crying:
Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
A good Dark/Black Theme that don't mess with the UI > Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
Don't hesitate to share !
Change DPI
You can change DPI by activating developer mode.

Multiple user accounts, it's such a shame Huawei crippled that option when it's supported by the underlying operating system. No workaround that I know of...
Wish there was an auto setting for the backlight...
First world problem I know but it's not ideal to have to adjust brightness yourself
There is merged storage. Its just not clear how to do it. Go into settings, then storage. Underneath the SD Card option there is an option called storage settings, default location. Change it to SD card, the tablet will reset and you will now have joint storage. Works fine for me. Having the 16gb version with only 7gbs available was a real shocker for me. I wouldn't have purchased it, if i had known this. I mean, seriously, why do they need over 8 gigs for the OS+install files?
Anyway, I slapped in a 32gb card, did the above and all my apps install on the SD card now.

I suppose you are not speaking seriously. Have you checked your internal storage before and after installing some apps?
There's no way you can merge the memory. Wish it was that easy.

Tried few values between around 700, but UI gliched a bit, camera UI was broken and few buttons were on top of each other.
If anyone have a valid value we would appreciate it.
Thanks for answer.
This low DPI for 1920x1200 screen are not serious from Huawei...
I set 720 dp. Settings menu are glitched.

Exactly, very useful for a tablet, especially when you have a kid. A shame…

Hello,
Values 679 to 754 glitches settings menu.
I set Smallest Width at 678 dp.
I used face unlock on my 2014 Nexus 9. It's a shame they have REMOVED this feature from original android. I was thinking of getting a MediaPad M5 Pro AND a Mate 20 Pro. I'm glad I have bought this cheaper tablet before. I'll never buy anything else from huaweii again.

I'm about to buy this tab but can anyone tell me if this tab is upgradeable to pie version? I heard from rumors we gonna get pie.
No Screensaver on my Device
I bought the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 3GB/32GB and I am not able to find a Setting to activate a Screensaver.
Is my Tablet broken ?
Hey all, just got the 4gb t5. My first one had a backlight issue but new one seems pretty good!
My main issue was the size of the items on screen and the launcher. Lawnchair and lawnfeed solved the launcher easy enough but thought I'd share how I got to the item scaling menu.
I used the app quickshortcutmaker:
- Add widget to desktop, choose quickshortcutmaker
- Change search mode to normal
- Search for 'vision' and only one option should pop up, select that
- You can choose to make this a shortcut, or you can just hit test and it will open up the vision settings window.
- Choose view mode and said the item size down a notch!
This changes the display to be a little smaller without any glitches.
Hope this helps someone out!

I can't find the option in developer menu. Can you share please? Thanks
It's called "smallest width" in developer options, but doesn't stick after a reboot. If you use the method I put above you should get the smallest ui and without bugs, and it seems to hold when I turn the tablet off then on
Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width
