How To Change Paranoid Android ROM Settings | ParanoidPreferences

Paranoid Android ROM gives Phablet and tablet user interface on your Android phone. As well as it’s available normal stock UI.  It’s a hybrid ROM. If you’re new to the Paranoid Android custom ROM, it’s better to know how to change its settings. I have tested these things on the Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean PA version 2.57.2. I think other versions have similar settings with minor changes.

Very first time when you booted your phone, you can see tablet mode. If you’re a new user sometime it’s annoying. We can customize the Paranoid Android ROM user interface (UI) as we want. After change the UI, you have to reboot the phone.

PA ROM we can change the every apps (user, system) Dots Per Inch (DPI). Lower DPI rate gives smaller and higher DPI gives a bigger app interface. There are several DPI values, Phone Mode = 360px, Phablet Mode = 600px and Tablet Mode = 720px. Like other after market firmware such as CM, AOKP this ROM also has a status bar, navigation bar, power menu, expanded desktop customizations. This tutorial I’m going to cover basic Paranoid settings.

They’re Tablet UI, Phablet UI, Stock UI and some ROM’s we can see Hybrid Off and Tablet small and mid options. Most of time, the default user interface is tablet version. This option will change the home status bar size and position, notification drawer size.
