[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ardabey:
If you tell the phone that the screen has 240dpi instead of 320, then it starts drawing things smaller. For instance, 12pt fonts are used instead of 16pt, or the icons become 30x30 instead of 50x50.

As the phone uses the pixel density information to calculate how many pixels should a quarter-inch-wide icon should be, coding in a lower dpi value makes all the drawn elements smaller, giving you more room. This way, you can have smaller text and have more on our gargantuan screen.

Most apps deal with this change nicely, as there are devices out there that actually have 240dpi density. A number of apps (google market) need your pixel density to be one of the supported ones (180,240,320) and other arbitrary values break certain app updates. And some apps (mostly samsung-specific ones) have hard-coded scaling factors that break the app when you change your density setting.

All in all, decrease the density value => have everything rendered/drawn smaller => more screen real estate, the caveat being a small number of apps not supporting scaling at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] OpenMinded:
awesome explanation, I 'hit the button' :).

Thanks.

To be honest I am happy with the space and prefer the 'no hassle' approach :).

So apps that do not support scaling would simply not be in fullscreen mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ardabey:
It would make sense for the unsupported apps to simply be smaller than fullscreen, and it certainly is the case with samsung's touchwiz dialer, where it sits close to the upper left and has unused room on the right and bottom (contact list, call log and favorites tabs of the phone app scale nicely though).

On the stock launcher (touchwiz, samsung, surprising?), the dock is still at the very bottom of the screen, but there is unused/unusable space between the dock and where your app icons sit. third-party launchers (I tried adw ex) have no problem dealing with scaling.

For the s-memo app, it gets funkier, as the background drawing part of the code seems to have some weird hard-coded scaling, and when you increase your density, the memo-drawing area both shrinks (like the dialer) and also has thick black horizontal lines on it. Looks like an aliasing effect.

So it depends on how the various bits and pieces of the UI elements are coded in each app. If they coded it with multiple densities and scales in mind, it works like a charm. If they ignored it, it depends on where the reference/anchor points of UI elements are, as things can all get scaled and shrunk towards the upper left, or some things may stay at the bottom while others shrink towards the top. If the coders dropped the ball completely (s-memo), things get very ugly.

Any news regarding these apps in 240 dpi ?

Using alternative dialer is not ideal for me, I happened to like the TW dialer etc...

We can already find S-Memo here thanks to claudekenni but I'd really like the dialer also :o.

+1 to this idea I personally think 240 DPI is the best on this phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] daddymatt:
Hey guys, is there a modded stock launcher that works with dpi changes so its not so jacked up looking? I use romow rom and would like to have it just the way it comes but use 240 or 260 dpi. I like the ics themed touchwiz and tried the ics launcher from the market which looked pretty good but lagged pretty bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
Most 3rd party launchers will be smooth when you adjust the DPI to 240. I haven't seen a modded TouchWiz launcher that looks good at 240 DPI, so i don't think you'll have any choice if you want to use 240 DPI. You'll have to switch launcher.

I'm currently using ADW EX with ICS theme at 240 DPI, and it's very smooth :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Hendrickson:
We need a 240 DPI custom rom on this phone. When switch to 240 DPI you see that its really perfect for the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
Yup. Too bad nobody is willing to do it.

I did the gold card method to the sd card, now i am confused as to how i flash the old ruu in the stickied post?? i want to see if the old ruu had s off?
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
U wont get s off man. Don't u think if that got s off people would have already done it?
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
yea you are right but either way i still wanted to flash previous ruu's for the purpose of the radios as well. it was kind of a two in one thing.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I think you can just flash it
[HTC Rezound] morbidz:
have you tried flashing yet?
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
do you mean just flash it straight from a sd card without having to do the goldcard thing? because i tried that and it wasnt let me do it. i dont know if it was because i did something wrong or maybe typed the .zip name incorrectly. it just wasnt working. i will try it again once i get home.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
You can't flash .zip files until you get root. :D
[HTC Rezound] con247:
You can flash Pxxxximg.zips via hboot if they are straight from HTC. I am not sure what prevents the flashing of the older RUU though because I would want to try out the radios from it to see if I get better reception in buildings.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
Yea see that was my main reasoning to do it. That's why I was going to try the gold card thing to see if I could revert back to the older ruu because on campus I get horrible signal inside the buildings.

Edit: ill try and flash an older one tonight and see if I can get it to work. The rexound is PH98IMG.zip correct??

[HTC Rezound] con247:
Well if it is an RUU for the Vigor I don't see why they wouldn't be.

OP, have you tried flashing via fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
im in the process of flashing it right now. its just taking a while so give me a little bit and i will let you all know.

Edit: yea its still not working. it says bootloader version error. im guessing because i am going backwards??
[HTC Rezound] con247:
have you tried just doing fastboot flash system system.img?

if you are trying to flash the whole thing it is probably complaining because it doesn't want to downgrade HBoot to avoid exploitation.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
no i havent i was trying to flash the whole thing. im about to do that now. the image file is PH98img.zip right?? Oh and I have never flashed anything via fastboot so if you dont mind can you explain how it works?

Edit: i have the radio image and system image if anyone wants it as well.
[HTC Rezound] Berzerker7:
S-ON prevents the flashing of *ANY* unsigned images, be it an RUU or a system.img in either fastboot or HBOOT. Anything flashed will need to be signed directly by HTC. Also, S-ON prevents the flashing of any RUU that's older than the currently flashed version as described in the android-info.txt file inside the PH98IMG.zip file.
[HTC Rezound] rjskalet:
now even if i did do gold card it still wouldnt work? i would assume not by what you just explained but i just wanted to make sure. im kind of stepping out my own box by doing this.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Some people never listen. Like I said, you have to be rooted with s-off to flash radios. Been doing this since 2007.

its not that i didnt listen, i was just being stubborn. lol. i had never done any of that kind of stuff. all ive ever done is flash stuff in hboot and recovery so i wanted to try some different things.

It's the same GPU as the Charge and a higher res screen (albeit a higher clock speed as well), so don't expect any dramatic difference- but it's quite smooth, yes. I use N64oid and it works just fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Fender890:
Ok cool. I tried it out and it does seem to handle Zelda a lot better. Not perfect but less framerate drops and sound clipping.

I'm thinking the 1GB of ram vs. The 512 from the charge make a difference also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robstunner:
Hello,

Picked up a TPU case from Cimotech in Black, S style a few days ago and thought i would share my thoughts on it.

PRICE:

You cannot complain about the price. Anything that is 1/3 of the price as the ones that are located in the store are a win. These cases really are the cheapest you want to go without sacrificing quality. Trust me, DO NOT get those full silicone $3 ones on eBay.

FEEL:

The case is smooth for one half, and more plastic on the other. The "S" line is actually a design, where one part is straight TPU, and the other is a softened matte finish.The matte finish is very close to what you would get with the soft touch smartphones of yesteryear. The other part is also TPU, however has a more of a "sticky" feel to it. Also with this case, the sides are textured for grip. I cannot stress how much i like this. Under any situation, I have never felt like I would drop the phone with these grips. Definitely adds extra feel to the super slippery awesome phone that we have.

LOOK:

To be honest, I always thought these cases looked cheap. Now that I have one, i would say that these S series cases beat the $25 ones you see at the Verizon retail stores without question. If your looking for something more rugged, I would look more towards otterbox

FIT:

Super snug fit. Its almost too snug when putting my phone in there. However once its in there, there is no wiggling or gaps at all. the left and right sides tend to buckle when you pull them away from the phone, but that pretty much the standard for any kind of case like this.

BUTTON ACCESS:

The buttons for camera, power and volume control are very tight. They work great and the tactile feedback feels better with this case than without it. I honestly never thought I would say that, however it does add a little extra press into each of the buttons. The Volume and Power buttons are both covered by the case.

Design:

The case has a pre-cut spot for the SD/SIM door. This i thought was awesome, as some cases have that area sealed. The main, and really only negative with this case was that it covered the secondary microphone that's located on the bottom, back of the device. My recommendation would be that if you were to buy the case, i would make a hole (I don't know what method would be the best way to recommend) so that you don't loose the functionality of that second microphone. The phone will be expecting it, however I haven't noticed any call quality degradation so far.

Final Thoughts:

In the final tally the case is well made, looks good, fits the device, & the price is right, if it wasn't for the secondary microphone being blocked, it would be a perfect review for a perfectly priced TPU case.

4.5/5

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediavieja:
Hi, i was using the official Ginger 2.3.4 from Motorola with motoblur and one of the things i liked about it is that the screen never rotate on desktop or the app drawer but the apps and games do.

So i was wondering if anyone knows a way to do this with any of the custom roms out there? currently im using Aura 1.2.2.2 with faux133 kernel and baseband .36, right now all i can do is use a rotation app that would disable the rotation with a click but thats not what i want, i want only the apps and games be able to rotate by them-self but the app drawer and the desktop not.

Also I'd like to know if there is a fix available out there for the rain drop or something what is called the bug, that if u keep your screen pressed for more than 10 -15 secs it will disable the touch until u release ur finger and press it again. I know i read somewhere something about it but now i cant find any info on how to fix this cause i like to play emulators a lot and its a pain for them as u can imagine.

First, the ubication of the backward arrow doesn't fit with the "touchable zone". I have to press it a few cm left to make that butom work. Well, I try to recalibrate a few times and now I have a phone with no one of the buttoms working :D

The buttoms are not phisical at all, I mean, they are touchable but they are at the end of the screen. Well, the problem is that if I touch the buttoms, the phone thinks i want to touch the end of the screen (for example my launcher dock).

I wipe all things , and installed many rooms and try with thousand of backups, but nothing worked. And obviously i can't fix this with the calibration app.

I'm desperate, I need something to help me. I promise I will give you all the money that I have in my paypal account (Around 2 dollars, it's not much, i'm not gonna lie). Please, help me. Sorry for my english.

Easy Fix

Happened to me twice before, it is a pain in the rear. To fix you need to change your lcd density. Many apps from the market can do this. Find out what your screen density is supposed to be. Now here is the tricky part. When it happened to me none of my buttons would work on the touchscreen because they where all out of frame. I managed to remember how to scroll down to change the screen density and I use my trackpad to scroll down and change the screen density. Now what you can do is download a rom that has the screen density setting for your device, do a hard reset and flash that rom. Or, if memory serves me correctly, you can use the update file for your firmware version. Create a folder called dload on your sd card, through using 91pcsuite and connecting phone to pc via usb, go into recovery mode and mount sd card to inable the cre3ation of this file on the root of your sd card. Next you must find the UPDATA.APP file with your phones original firmware. Place that inside the dload folder you just created on your phones sd card. Now, switch your device off. Now press end call button, volume up and power on key. Keep holding all these down until your screen says, Installing firmware update. Once that is done the phone will switch off. Switch your device back on and give it time to load. Everything should now be just as if you had recently bought your phone. Anyways, hope you come right dont worry about the money, Merry Christmas, and let me know if you still struggling. If this doesn't work then you better hope someone is going to buy you a new phone for Christmas. It took me 5 hours to get mine going again. Never play with screen density settings and whach what roms you flash as some have some hidden B.S. Good luck and God Bless.
