That can be fixed with a keyboard app like smart keyboard where you can adjust the key height.

Swype works fine as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I wish my old geezer eyes could take the 160dpi setting...

question; if you set everything to 160, then use a larger font, and make all your stuff larger, is it still 720p "like", or does that kind of defeat the purpose of 160dpi?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I do not believe you can raise the font size throughout the system. You can do it in individual apps though. For example, when I put a widget that allows font size adjustments on my home screen, I usually choose the big size font as that looks much better. It doesn't take away from the fact that I can still add a ton more stuff on my homescreen because of the 160dpi. You have to raise the size of certain things in order for it to be usable.

If you look at the Galaxy Nexus, it is 720p but that doesn't mean everything on the device is tiny. The icons are still a nice size and everything on the device is manageable. So you might need to play with the sizes of certain things but some apps do not need to be touched as they look totally fine.

I do not need to squint at anything on my phone the way everything is setup. 160dpi is the way to go with the size of this screen. I also like it because you will not get any messages in the market for compatibility issues like the other dpi settings.

One of the things I like about 160dpi is all the menus are so much better to use. You do not ned to scroll through as much to get what you need. Run 160dpi for a week then for the hell of it switch back to 240. I guarantee you will be amazed when you look at that screen. My first reaction was WTF, you kidding me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, I did a lot of testing for a dev on my evo when he came out with one of the first apps that did change the dpi, so I know what you mean about how things look.

and, I agree, that you can change the font on lots of apps and widgets to make them more readable at 160;

Problem for me is that there are so many roms that I like right now, that I am flashing a new one almost every day, and, it takes a lot of work to go through everything after a flash to get stuff setup again when you change the dpi like this..

I love the fact that I don't need my glasses ever to use this phone, with the text/icons being so large natively, but, hey, its sunday, and no football for awhile, so maybe its time to play around with this for awhile!

thanks for your suggestions!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
To anybody getting the compatibility error in Market, I seem to have gotten rid of it doing the following:

Set resolution to your liking, click to save on boot.

Reboot the phone.

Go to manage apps>>Market>>clear data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am pretty sure unless you are running the 160 density which is a native Android resolution, this will not fix it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've got mine set to 180 now, which helps my eyes a lot; I seem to be able to access everything in the Market...

Its like having a new phone again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am pretty sure you will not be able to access everything in the market at this resolution. I just tested it.

Clear your market data. Then try and download Opera Mini for example. It will tell you your device isn't compatible. You will see this message on a lot of apps in the market if you are not running either 240 or 160.

All these apps sure will work at that resolution but you will need to download them either at 240 or 160 or you can sideload it if you have the apk. You can also download from the Amazon market as it does not check you device settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yeah, I just tried opera mini, and it says not compatible..

well, if I really want any more apps, I can just switch res to get them, or side load them..

with 160 apps on my phone right now, getting more apps is not a big deal!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] warrenis1234:
You can actually. theres an app called fontsize (hard to find, look for the orange icon with the big A) and i actually used it initially to make the font even smaller while going for a bigger dpi. unfortunately when you change the font itself (i really like roboto) it reverts to the normal size.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thought this was an interseting find for those who like to run their screen at a different density then 160 and run into the market compatability issue.

There is now an app that will allow you to use other denity's and will trick the market into thinking you are running a native one so you will not have the compatability issue. It is not free but might be worth it from some.

I run mine at 160 so I have no market problems but for those who want things a little bit larger then that this is for you. From the review it seems to work fine.

If anyone tries it, please report back and I will update the OP if it works succesfully.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Has anyone that is running 160dpi thought about using the Phone.apk, TWLauncher30.apk, TWCalculator.apk etc. from the Galaxy Note?

Or maybe porting over the layout XMLs from the Note's APKs into the ET4G's APKs?

The Note is setup for 720x1280... Running 160dpi on the ET4G scales to a close 720x1200.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I have been saying that is probably the way to go for months now...I'm just too lazy to pull it all together.

...I can cope with the dialer and the calculator, etc. But Touchwiz becomes embarrassingly silly looking, so I lose HW acceleration by going to ADWex, Launcher7, LPP, etc. I don't know if it will be a drop-in-solution or require some framework tweaking, but, I'm shocked nobody has done this by now to get 160dpi 'native' style.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frigidazzi:
I have the same problem with Swiftkey X. I have it set to largest setting and it's still like 1/2 the size it should be LOL. I used to switch between swype and swiftkey, but stuck with swype mostly now unless i can train myself swiftkey with extra small keys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frigidazzi:
Anyone know of any roms built around 160 DPI?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
There are none...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metapy:
Works perfectly! I tested 180DPI with the quick test mode, hot reboot and no permanent changes. Test ran fine so I set the phone to 180DPI and did a full reboot, this also worked, but I did see some force closes. Once the phone rebooted a few times, the force closes stopped and the extra screen space was nice.

I then set the market fix for 240DPI and confirmed I was able to update apps. I just downloaded Opera Mini and installed without error on 180DPI setting. So it looks like $3 well spent and a nice compromise between changed DPI and a working market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I download it, im currently using 200 dpi on cm7. I looked up the Facebook app, it had the download option. Last time I checked using 200 it didn't let me download. This will come in handy because I usually like a lower dpi, but 160 for some roms is too low.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
Are you guys able to make/receive phone calls when set to 160? I'm thinking of picking up an Epic Touch soon, but when I use the 160 setting on my current phone (Nexus S 4G), if I get a call, I get the error "com.android.phone (or com.phone.android...can't remember which) process has stopped." Once I click "OK", the call disconnects, and goes to VM. I get the same error if I try to make a call. I know my issue doesn't have anything to do with the Epic, but I've read on google about users having issues with making calls after modifying the resolution via these types of apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I have been running at 160 for weeks have not had a single phone issue with it. You will need to use an alternate phone app like Dialer One or exDialer because the stock app does not fit the screen correctly. It will still work but looks dumb.

Anyway, no stability issues to worry about from doing this.

- how do I take off the sound when the phone is started ?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:

2- what rom you wearing rite now?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sylouu:
1) No I don't have any application like that. I just move on the games with parameters-> applications -> manage the applications

2) I have the R8
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
you have to play with unlock boot loader (be carefull)

flashing kernel (easy)

partitioning sdcard (ext2/ext3/ext4) (lot steps)

or

Download all the app U like with browser instead market

(because when download using market we don't have the installer for the app)

download the app.apk and save it in one folder and just name it apk folder..

so everytime u change your rom, u can simply instal it again and again, and again..

I just use this trick!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sylouu:
Ok I will do it. Do you know some websites with apk ?

And the sound at the starting of the phone do you know how to take it off ?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelikp:
some app.apk u can simply google it..

but almost paid app.apk are not allowed!

I just buy a paid app.apk dvd with my friend

About the boot sound U have to search it your self..

I'm not sure about your rom rite now (R8)??

but u can try this

install root explorer (phone need rooted)

(this app same like file manager but it can see phone and system files)

you can simply search the boot animation folder

on phone directory instead sdcard

search one by one folder

when u get the boot sound or boot animation u can simply delete

(If can't delete) click on "mount RW" on the top right

sory long explaination..

Hello, I've searched and searched and I believe this is the first thing that has stumped me. Been rooting my DX since the beginning, and I am trying to install Apex 2.0 RC4. I had been previously on Apex Froyo to retain wireless hotspot, etc. Yesterday I SBF'ed to .602, and then updated to .605, and then rooted with Pete's Motorola Root Tool.

I tried MIUI but it wasn't my thing. SBF'ed all over and now I want to run Apex 2.0 RC4, but it requires kernel tkwp86@ca25rhe81 #2. It appears I should have this as I am on Gingerbread, but I don't. I am still on bmvq37@zin22lnxdroid28 #1 kernel. My baseband is correct at .13P I absolutely can not find any help on this. Any info?

Cheers,
