FAQ

This is a short summary of ParanoidAndroid settings, and other interesting facts.First of all, please read CyanogenMod FAQ – HereGlobal density: Is the one used by your hardware configuration and all non PAD touched applications. It’s the old one that you can change with build.prop, and this one can get you outside of Tablet mode – Phone mode. (Only on SGS2 Based ROM’s)

Deafult SystemUI DPI: User interface density, can be reflected on statusbar, Recent apps, etc. This one can’t get you outside of your current mode.

Deafult User DPI: Is the one used when your app is not on pad.prop list, so when you run a new app that it’s installed by you, and not on /system/app, it will run at this density. This one cant get you outside your current mode neither.

Some other facts
•You cant change framework dialogs (like when you hold power button) density on tab mode yet, don’t waste your time.
•Keyboard must be on the same global density, for both tablet and phone mode. This also applies for some apps like facebook, otherwise it produces some visual bugs (images getting cut, etc).
•It’s recommended to use all launchers on Phone mode, and highest density (240 for HDPI, or 320 for XHDPI). If DPI’s are lower that some magic values, it may cause crashes when using themes.
•Disable Settings > System > Statusbar > Auto Hide Statusbar. Use toggle instead  (Only needed on HDPI devices).
•If you see the dock on launchers in Tablet mode, and not the old layout, this IS NORMAL, it was ugly before, and now it’s preset to phone mode at stock phone density (240 for SGS2 based ROM’s or 320 for Nexus based ROM’s). If you want to get the old ugly tablet mode for launchers, go to Settings > Paranoid Settings > Hybrid settings > List apps, select your launcher, lower density a bit and put in on tablet mode. You can also do this if you want Tablet mode launcher in Phone mode.
•We’re not responsible that some apps, being on phone mode, and seted up to tablet mode looks ugly. Google is. Go blame Google!
•The message that appears every time that you change DPI or layout mode for any app IS NORMAL, we put in there so changes can be applied, APP IS NOT FORCE CLOSING, we’re asking you to force close.
