[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedofchaos:
last quick question. ok my original vibrant which i odin it back to stock heres the info

model number:SGHT959

firmware version:2.1-update1

baseband version:t959uvjfd

kernal version:2.6.29

build number:eclair

while that is that the new vibrant i have has this info in it

same model number

same firmware

baseband version:t959uvji6

kernal:same

build number:eclair.uvji6

now should i have to worry about anything? is mine just basic stock? or should i look for a different stock to odin it with?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Nope ur good dood. ji6 is just an update. both are stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedofchaos:
thanks. i also did the kies update to froyo just in case :) thank you all for your help i now have a sexy "new" vibrant that has an actual working usb port! hoorahhh
[HTC Incredible S] vancecwtan:
Hi guys, any idea how to check my HTC IS is manufactured under/for what region?

After checking the phone's info with Quadrant Standard, found it showing ~615mb of Total memory instead of ~768mb.
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
If you have quadrant benchmark on your phone you can run the app and click on system information and it should tell you everything. You can get quadrant benchmark for free in the android market.
[HTC Incredible S] vancecwtan:
Hmm, doesn't show me what region my device was originally made for. However it shows that my IS only has ~615mb total memory?
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
After you click on quadrant app it should bring you to a screen. There you will have 5 options. Run Full Bench Mark, Run Custom Benchmark, Result Browser, System Information , and About. Click on System Information. Go down to the section that says Device. There should be a break down for Model, Product, Brand, Etc.....Under Brand it should say something like htc_asia_vivo (I have an Asia region Incredible S)
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
The model numbers I'm aware of are:

S710a = North America

S710e = Europe

This should be listed on the box.
[HTC Incredible S] vancecwtan:
Hmm, I already RUU-ed with aussie gb rom so now its virgin_au. Still doesn't explain why the app ain't showing ~768mb RAM though.

I bought my set in Malaysia(Asia), the box says S710e though.
[HTC Incredible S] cruxidex:
look at the software number... example 1.36.405.1

take note at the three digit number... that shows the region...

my way to know is just google 1.36.405.1 htc.com you will see the htc.com page for support... you can see what region on the htc site your set is

i will compile all n edit this post when i have the time...

so far as i know

405 = europe

707 = south east asia

720 = india

669 = sasktel canada (telco bonded)

415 = ARA (telco bonded)

980 = Australia Optus (telco bonded)

981 = Australia Virgin (telco bonded)
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
I belive the rest of the memory is locked for the adreno 205 gpu ... We need to find a way to unlock it if u want the full memory freely ..
[HTC Incredible S] will.m:
Weird. I have 405 and no update. Maybe its a UK model, but its unlocked.
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
Doesn't Malaysia uses the same 3G frequencies as Europe?
[HTC Incredible S] ocakar:
666 = bell canada
[HTC Incredible S] riccoho:
708 - Hong Kong

I don't know whether it's the same in Taiwan though...
[HTC Incredible S] vancecwtan:
Uhhh... I don't know? ><

But if that's the case then it explains why I got S710e.
[Epic 4G General] jamice4u:
This does not work well with Touchwiz launcher or the default dialer and some of the older programs.

Change the Density of the screen. Get more info on your screen, like with a high resolution setting on your PC

Need ROOT (+ BusyBox)

*Fast density switching

*With the possibility to save the density and load it on demand or save the density as your default system density

Density change not supported by all devices.

Recent changes:

(Dec. 11) Preview / temporary density change now supports more devices. Corrected version# in the about box

Note1: setting the density as the system density will not work on the *Droid Incredible* stock rom. Temporary change and change by widget on reboot will though.

Note2: The new *Nexus S* will *not* support a system density change at the moment. If it will support a temporary change is not known at the moment.

LCD Density Changer v5.4 for Android

When this programs first came I guess it did not work with the Samsung Epic so well. But now it works perfectly with the Samsung Epic. From my experience using it the first time I flashed my phone the settings did not stick then I did a fresh install and not my setting stay on my phone. The only problem I have with this application is it makes my dialer small. But I know that the genius here will come out with a theme for our phone if the demand is high. Try this program out on the android market it is now free. Please let me know what you think of it.

I am using a density of 186 and the default density is 240 so (240/186) = 1.290322580645. So (240/186)*480 = 619.354838709677 and (240/186)*800 = 1032.258064516129. My map programs look great and so does my browser. If only people can start making themes that support this resolution.

I went to this website http://thirdculture.com/joel/shumi/computer/hardware/ppicalc.html to measure the ppi and with my resoultion I got a score of 300.95 ppi. I believe the Iphone 4 score is 319. With program you can go as low as 182 and without any FC. Beyond 182 and your contact will FC. (240/182)*480 = 633 and (240/182)*800 = 1055 with a ppi of 307.57 ppi which is not too bad. Most of the newer programs adjust to the new screen resolution. Also the great part is you can always change your resolution back to the default if you want to. :D
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
This sounds not to good for future stability :(
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
does it remove pentile?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No, that's a hardware element/flaw in amoled screens.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
This can be changed by editing build.prop,why do you need an app?
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
FYI this is a paid app on the marketplace.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer&feature=search_result
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Not anymore lol
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Its alright. I can do the same thing by editing the build.prop file that the app does, so no real reason except the interface. I'm at 190 right now. I like it there.
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
I have been on 100 LCD density threads and your the only other person to do 190. High five!
[Epic 4G General] gsrboy171:
not free. so idk
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Reply i like this on 186

But there are a few problems like the corner has the time cut off and keyboard is now.smaller
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
Looks nice but overheats and drains my battery
[Epic 4G General] ccpotato:
say no to aliasing

native resolution or bust
[Epic 4G General] techargon:
made the mistake of using it at the minimum number it suggests, haha jokes on me, phone kept rebooting for 15 minutes, finally pulled battery and now all i get is force closes! joy, tomorrow will be a day of re-installing roms and apk's.... so excited!!!! wish i would have passed this thread by........ back up your phones first...
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Why would you try to run it at 100? That was a stupid move on your part. If you read the post, you'd see you can go as low as 182 with no issues.

Second, why the hell are you not running journaling on your rom? Would have stopped the fcs you get after the battery pull. The FCs are due to no journaling, not this app or changing the DPI
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
It is still the native resolution. DPI is software. By lowering this, you get a larger virtual resolution, eg more space on your homescreens. The screen is still running at 800x480
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
My battery drains at a rate of 3600-3800 mV regardless of what it is set to.

Unfounded unless he can post hard evidence proving so.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I am using the gingerbread keyboard and it is definitely smaller. Kind of a pain, but it frorces me to use my hardware keyboard more which is good.
[Epic 4G General] techargon:
You're right, I should have read all of the posts to see that anything lower than 182 was a bad idea +1 for you. I'm also aware that the lack of journaling was causing the force closes due to improper shutdown, and not the program. I haven't had any problems until today, so maybe I will go ahead and enable journaling now. I was just relating my experience to make sure someone else didn't share in it.
[Epic 4G General] tahlsr:
I'm a resolution junkie and always thought everything was 'too big' as far as the interface is concerned.

This app works surprisingly well. I am very excited and will likely continue to use it. It's very simple to use and just use the setting the OP statue (I think 186) at least to start. I haven't had to many visual glitches in 3rd party apps either... i.e. games and apps I use still look and run fine.

I'm very pumped and will monitor the progress of this app and this thread.

If you are on the fence about trying it... Try it now!!!! Guaranteed to put a big smile on your face...
[Epic 4G General] Gkillratio:
I'm loving this app. I hope someone can make a theme for high res.
[Epic 4G General] thehelios:
Wow oh wow! This is fantastic. I feel like my screen is huge now! I can finally have my 6 rows of apps per homescreen page now. Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] tahlsr:
what app do you use to give you more homescreen rows / columns?

Is there any lightweight one that does just that feature and works with Android Stock Launcher?
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
Umm my hard evidence is my battery temp staying at a solid 50 celcius with nothing running and the back cover off. Plus my battery dropping 10% in 3 minutes without me touching it. As soon as I set it back to default and it rebooted it was fine. Not saying it happens to everyone, just how my phone reacted, so get off your "official bug verifier" high horse, mmm'kay? Thanks :)
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
I use adw ex. The default looks just like default and you can customize columns/rows in landscape and portrait.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
XDA does not support piracy. The LCD Density Changer app is a paid app. This is against the rules.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
LCDDensityChanger is a paid app yes.

That said, the app LCDDensity is free.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
No high horse. I just don't think you can jump in a thread and post that without saying anything se, mmm'kay buddy?

Maybe you should consider other things besides this app. Not happening to anyone else.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Just bought it and wow it makes everything smaller like the density on my moment now I really feel that extra screen space
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Must have been my mistake... the app in the OP was version 5.4, which is the current version of the paid "LCDDensityChanger" while the "LCDDensity" app is only up to 0.1.1.

Can't have us spreading garbage :)
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
Did I say it was happening to anyone else? Nope. Just reporting my findings. Now get back on the topic of the thread please.
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
Yeah it looks really nice. Didn't test it with videos but it was cool to have 6 rows of apps in the drawer with adw and not have bleed-over. Pretty much all apps functioned well with the modded resolution, but I can verify the dialer issue. Go contacts dialer is a nice workaround. Has some pretty cool themes too.
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Im running mine at 215 seems like a good enough size for me what are u guys running ?
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Guess I am just sick of people posting comments about apps that don't even make sense.

I got the vibe of "I installed this contacts app and now my 4g is slow. Wth." from your post.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I am running at 182 with srf 1.1.0 standard. 6 columns and 7 rows on my homescreen.

Launcherpro will only let me have 5 columns on my app drawer though.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
so at 186 my clock is off the screen how are you guys getting around this?
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
I have mine o 215 and have both bigger screen and no clock cutting off
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Putting a clock dead center on my homescreen and using the clock on the lockscreen.
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
And to get the same effect, all I need to do is change my build.prop fil from:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

To:

ro.sf.lcd_density=190(or whatever)

Right? Or am I missing something? Btw, those code lines were from memory, so they may not be exactly the same as what's in build.prop.
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
No not at all lol. It was weird, I applied the change and literally felt the phone warming up in my hand afterwards and watched my percentage drop. Im gonna see if maybe the fact I rebooted it was enough and if I can keep it at the higher Res. Will post back in a sec.

Edit: hmmm this time its working properly. Now if I could only figure out how to adjust the gb keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] Gkillratio:
What themes are working well at 186?
[Epic 4G General] jeremiah.rs:
what are the benefits of using this? I tried the app, and it does work but I'm not too sure what the exact point is...
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Go to your messaging app and notice how you can actually see more than one message at a time.
[Epic 4G General] Epicdriver:
Another LCD changer that works good and is free, comes with Root Tools, which is also free on Google Market.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
...but it isn't really improving resolution. It is just changing the density. You are mapping >1 pixels to each pixel. There is a loss of detail.

I've used settings like this before, and it does give more working room... but with web browsing, for example, you'll have to zoom in more to make text resolve, negating the mod done in the first place. I don't mean because I have bad eyes, I mean that when you turn 20 pixels into 8 pixels there might not be enough to even form the characters.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I'm at the smallest allowed. If anything, it is easier to read the text because it isn't shoved up in your face. A Paragraph no longer takes the entire screen to display.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Installed this... Set it at 190 or some number, it rebooted and my phone went in to a boot loop.. Had to reinstall everything... Well everything but this program.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
190, or some number? Sounds to me like you set. It to 100 without reading anything.

I brought it as low as 120 without going into a boot loop.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
I'm rooted running SRF 1.1.0, I read the instructions as I always do the first time I run a new app. As others have said you are not increasing anything.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I am running SRF as well. If you had journaling enabled, you would not have had to reinstall everything. Mind saying exactly what number you set it to? Some number really destroys your credibility.

Since I installed Go Contacts, I decided to go even lower. 155 is a nice number. Less than that and things start to get hard to read.

You are increasing your virtual workspace. Good enough for me and should be for anyone else. If someone would create a theme designed for lower density, it would resolve a lot of the issues.

I've had only one game look funky, Meganoid. Everything else either scales flawlessly, or is easily replaceable with a comparable app.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Eh, not for me.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Bought the paid app. This is like night and day. The ever so small quality lose in images isn't a biggie. The text is easier for me to read even smaller. Went with the recommended 186 and it works perfectly. Thanks to the op for posting a topic about it
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for the hint.. ;)
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Went with 190 myself...nice changeup!
[Epic 4G General] Mighty442:
Great thread, thanks for the info and screen shots.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
As soon as I saw this I instantly wanted to switch to qhd res. (Same on atrix,etc.) So after doing some math I got the correct number almost to a tee. What I came up with was a ppi of exactly 200.

240/200=1.2

1.2x800=960

1.2x480=576

Qhd being 960x540 this is pretty Damn close. Try it out guys :)

Edit:

So I ran a few benchmarks to test if the higher pixel density would affect performance seeing as its a software tweak ( just like increasing game resolutions in pc gaming I assume?) And I ran quadrant. Idk if any of you noticed this before but when running at stock ppi quadrant cuts off at the bottom where the fps is displayed a bit. After switching to ppi200/"qHD" res quadrant fits in the.screen perfectly. Which leads me to believe that I have found the perfect ppi for this 4" amoled. Imo anyways lol
[Epic 4G General] somedude0608:
So I thought this was just going to be a gimmicky app that I would get rid of after a day. No way, I can't go back now. Awsome for a free app.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Its literally like increasing res on your pc past its native lol cool ****
[Epic 4G General] Gkillratio:
+1
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Not at all, it's actually a 960x640 display. Software tweaks to "increase resolution" =/= actual resolution, it breaks some apps and makes some look like ****.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
So I am confused, if I switch from 240 to 200, am I going to screw up apps or not? Also does it make for overall better experience?
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Gave the 200 a shot. All apps are there and functioning and I appreciate you thoroughly explaining how you came to get the optimum setting. EDIT ...made my dialer out of alignment. Put it in the lower left corner
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Yea some things are off like that but there's nothing you do. Personally I like the dialer small. Its easier to use one handed :)
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Well after giving this a fair shake, I decided to revert back to stock "resolution". One disadvantage that was becoming rather annoying was scrolling in dolphin was laggy and would stutter on some webpages and even on tapatalk scrolling through the threads would stutter and get hung up randomly.
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
i tried this at 185ppi and it was really nice. i only found like 2 apps that didnt fit the resolution. (spare parts and the stock music)

but i think* it caused my phone to hang at the boot animation. it would boot, and the screen would turn on and off, but the screen would just have my boot anim. so i had to fix that and havent used it since...

which sucks because i really want to use it!
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
Yeah I tried this at 210, but through Droid Overclock's lcd density changer, since I already had it on hand. As you know, the dialer shrunk. Also, a few of my games shrunk, and there were screen glitches from time to time. I have juice defender plus, and I usually average around 1.85x. However, after changing the lcd density my average dropped to 1.20x. Nothing else was changed, so either it was due to the lcd change, or was merely a fluke. Either way, I ended up changing back to normal density.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
As has been pointed out here, this doesn't change the display resolution which is determined by the display hardware (800x480 pixels on the Epic), it simply changes the virtual or apparent pixel density that the graphics system renders to.

It's like viewing a 720p video full screen... the pixel dimensions of that image are 1280x720, but must be downscaled to 800x480 to fit in the actual hardware display.

This is generally not an intensive operation, and GPUs these days have dedicated functionality to handle it.

When running at native resolution, no scaling -- and hence computation -- is necessary to display.

In the case of changing the overall system virtual resolution, you are requiring these computations to take place continuously, all the time, no matter what's on the screen. Further, I doubt the GPU is being used in this case, but rather this scaling if being (inefficiently) handled directly by the CPU.

This will definitely result in a battery and performance hit.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
For those running syndicate frozen and having issues with the time being cut off. Run over to the thread and grab the am/pm restore zip. Fixes the clock from being cut off, even at the lower densitys.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
My phone uses the same amount of battery (~3700mV) regardless of what it is set to. Additiionally, cpuspy reports that it sits at 200 mhz and in deep sleep roughly the same amount of time as well. I see no degredation of performance either.
[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
I use the batteryleft widget
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Im truly enjoying this at 200 with no lag or anything anywhere. The only thing I noticed is the 4g acting shotty but that was the network. Everythings a ok here.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Did you do the 4g MSL enter then manual adjustments in General..Worked wonders for my 4g bars and less sleep time...
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Its called "Want better 4g, do this" in General. It really helped me
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Really? I've not had such an issue.

Battery lasts 24+ hours under normal usage (2-3 hours screen on time, 1/2 hour of calls).

I am using the Frankenstein beta and the dk28 modem, density is set at 182 which is the lowest I can seem to go before contacts force closes on open.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
You mean the changing of extensions in the wimax menu? Ya I did that long ago. For some reason my epic saves those settings even when I reflash different roms.
[Epic 4G General] NoPh33rRaCiNg:
Awesome! Diggin the resolution

Hi guys

I would like to know if it's possible to change the default dock apps....

I would like to replace the message app with chompsms' Is it possible without replacing launcher
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AndyM:
Yes you can change the dock icons (except applications I think)

I replaced contacts with "Internet" and messaging with "Music". All done with stock launcher.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DVC1985:
How? :confused:

Long pressing on any of the docked icons and trying to drag them off does nothing, and you can't drag a shortcut from the home screen on to the dock, either?

EDIT: Got it, had to go into applications and then edit from there. I'm such a tool.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] enne91:
Could you be more specific :) ? I opened "application" and pressing the dock's app now appear "remove" but even if i drag them...they're still there.

Thank you in advance :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] exar_kun:
1. On Home Screen press "Applications"

2. press "menu" and select edit

3. Now you can drag any app into dock position and replace default icons

3. press "menu" again and select "Save"

All done :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] echoes.:
Sorry for the OT question, but I think it's related. Can you change icons in the TouchWiz launcher, both the 4 buttons in home and in the "applications" menu? That's my only gripe about it, ugly icons.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crucio_:
yeah the 4 icons at the bottom are part of touchwiz which i havent seen away to replace with other icons yet.

Seen people talking about using a different launcher which i assume is related to this in someway but im not to sure.
