Changing the DPI on the note makes such a big difference.

You can fit so much more on the screen

I don't know how to

 

Trying to read up on it but getting confused lol

 

Some of the roms i flashed had DPI changed and it looks so sick

You mans roms look mad messy. It's all about simplicity.

 

Miui is what I'm working with, with the BAT theme.

 

Charge screen

 

Lock screen

 

 

The amount of hours I can spend just browsing Deviant Art and customizing shit to perfection. Plus with Miui you can take things from other themes to make your ideal one. So you can take the icons, fonts, dialer, status bar and all that from different themes and make your own. Comes like Rainmeter.

LG reveals 5.5-inch Optimus G Pro design with curved glass

 

 

Clearly, a lot of us wanted LG to reveal the design of the 5.5-inch Optimus G Proas quickly as possible: just a day after a teaser, we're looking at the complete picture. And it's quite a looker, by all counts. While it has the familiar digital cube pattern on the back, it's also using curved glass in black or white, which LG says produces a "2.5D" effect. Those other details that LG is willing to divulge are largely what we expected based on the Japanese edition, including a full HD (1080p) display and a quad-core processor that's likely the Snapdragon S4 Pro. LG expects the larger G Pro to launch in late February, although it didn't say whether or not this is limited to South Korea; based on the timing, though, we might get a peek at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Google Now updated with support for widgets, added information sources

 

 

Google already tipped its hand on this one, but those looking for some widgets with their Google Now can get their fix today with the latest update to the Google Search app for Android. In addition to letting you add a Now widget to either your home screen or lock screen, the update also adds ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and movie passes from Fandango (including a reminder for when you need to leave for the movie), as well as real estate listings from Zillow.
