[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterdan1506:
Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i would like to change the Pixel Density of. It is rooted currently, but I just want to be able to read texts clearer and play my games and watch videos more sharp and crisp.. i know there are afew apps on the android market which can do this, but if i want clear/sharpness which is the recommended pixel density(240 is the default).

Also, i need something that will work perfectly on Galaxy S2, like, not make the widgets or icons or anything out of proportion..i want things to auto fit
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariq2kn:
Get root access.

Edit the line where density is mentioned in build.prop in root directory, probably in /system. You can change from 240 to 320. But be very careful as you may mess up the things & will have to flash the rom again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
I used an app called LCD Density in the market. Paid app but you should be able to try it out in the time period. Before purchasing, make a nandroid backup as the app gives all these scary messages about not backing up before changing the density. The app doesn't do anything drastic and allows you to change relatively quickly.

I haven't used on my sgs s2 but did for s1. I used to use 220 or 230. Cannot guarantee it won't mess anything up. Also doing is subjective, I did not want too small as was squinting alot so test it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterdan1506:
yeah i used lcd density and put it to 200 its wayyy too small but why is it that bigger ppi means worse quality?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
My question is do different modems affect our battery life differently or not really?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yes they do from my experience. They also effect your signal strength.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
I'm aware what a modem is and that it affects signal and strength lol. Just wanted to know if they have effect on battery life. Thanks for the response!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Signal strength directly affects battery life, so that'll be a yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
I flashed my modem back to EG30 a couple days ago because before ever experimenting, I got the best data speeds on EG30 Modem. So far it has been the same way since I've flashed back to it. I've been getting good signal strength majority of where I go. But my battery drains a little faster than it did on EK02. EL29 Modem also gave me unacceptable drainage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GRBlitz:
Im currently experimenting with all modems on Blazer ROM 3.9 Im not done testing at the moment but If I had to pick the best modem w/ respect to battery life right now it would be the EL13. Im in Chicago BTW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
EL13 always gave me good signal. But my data speeds took major slow down hit. I might test it though. I am also running Blazer Rom v3.9

Can I flash ice cream sandwich roms from the galaxy s i9000 , then flash an ics vibrant kernel, modem and key mapping ?

What about the nexus s ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I know its possible to port a I9000 but i'm not sure about Nexus S.

There is a guide lurking around here I know that about the I9000 search it. I'm on my phone right now, can't do much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
Yes for i9000 since hardware is almost identical. You can straight up flash a i9000 rom with only minor issues.

Not the same for Nexus s would take work on rom to make it compatible. same CPU at least but might have to change some other drivers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackman17:
I was also asking myself this same question. Thanks for the info. It would be nice if someone could give some more info on getting the nexus s roms to work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
It's in theory impossible since our display is 480 by 800.. If you want a better display sell your SGS2 and buy a Nexus :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterdan1506:
how is it impossible? there are apps which change the density...

cant i just use a custom home screen launcher?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
have a look at hyperdroid. It is MDPI compatible
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xath23:
There is an app that magically creates more physical pixels on you screen? Wow how much is that and could it make my hdtv into a 3D tv too?.. Serious how do you think thats possible? If you want a better pixel density buy a phone with an hd screen because you definatly cannot change it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmat:
no.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramic:
Unless I misunderstood your question, there is no way on gods earth that you can create more pixels (ie higher density) than what there physically is.

The best you can do is to max out the screen brightness which gives the illusion of a better picture.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aslsthlm:
Of course you can change the density, just edit system/build.prop with rootexplorer..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathsgames:
Despite the smart answers above, I know what you mean, and love this app on my Asus TF-101

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
No need for that much complication, you just need to decrease the pixel value, well you can do that by editing build.prop or just use a simple app from market called LCD Resolution (Root).

But no, how on earth would you technically increase dpi while I9100 is given a 480x800 resolution hardware wise.

Wish that was possible and I could made my 1680x1050 monitor a HD one :p

[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
HI there People, I´m now using the Zeus V3.2.n by Huexxx, and I would like to know which Governor and I/O shedulers it´s the most proper for performance and battery life. I was messing around on the OB and i think i changed them...How do I know which governor and I/O are now on my OB? And how do i change them?

Thanks in advance for you ansewrs and big thanks to Huexxx who did such a wonderfull ROM like this one. :D
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Go to a terminal, type su, then type zeus and voila, you can change the settings and also see whats set at the moment ;)

Standard governor is InteractiveX as far as I know ;)

Scheduler should be deadline as default. You can find some information on the different governors and schedulers all around here in xda, just search for them, also knzo once made a thread about it, it explains all pretty nicely :D
[LG Optimus Black] TugaSoulHunter:
Thanks N00BY0815 for your quick answer. Just one more thing, I saw a thread here in xda about the ICS transactions for ALL ROM´S, and as far I remeber, that is one thing that Huexxx want to put in his ROM. Do you know if he knows about that or we can´t do that? Once again, thank you. :D
[LG Optimus Black] mdfaisal:
well, I use Savagedzen for governor and Noop for i/o... I Think it's best for performance and battery if you are not using any 3d ui and play various game...

but I use SPBSHELL 3D for launcher and if I play Angry Gran I got this lag in my games...

So I change to Smartass V2 and Deadline... I never got lag in games... but battery is draining fast if using eg. wifi, internet and GPS at the same time... maybe like 1% for 2 or 3 minutes :mad: ...

If I sleep, switch off the wifii, gps, I got 1% batt drain for 2-3 hours :rolleyes:

Im using battery drain indicator from the market to measure my batt drain every percents...

I use Zeus v3.2n by the way....

Ham3r's beta H3r7 roms are the newest English roms you'll find on here.

Some (beta 1 at least) are based on 6.1.

There are also some decent 6.5 ROMs on here, but I was always fond of 6.1.

Ham3r's roms are good because he figured out how to unlock the extended rom, giving 5 or 10 Meg of extra internal storage.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 918273645ams:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
Not good if you haven't got a tracking number yet. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ksprelude01:
If your really itchy to see if your package is shipped...if they are shipping via ups you can enter in the order number in to track by reference and enter in the order date and zip code and it will show up the shipping info, i tried it with an IPhone that I ordered in November and it came right up by using the order number. (Which ATT did ship the IPhone via UPS). But im pretty sure you can do the same thing with fedex.

But this will drive you crazy too, by keep going and trying the info till something come up...everyday...every hour...every min!

[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
So yesterday I was in a call with low battery when it shut off. Normally not a problem, just plug it into the wall for a while. Well when I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't even boot up. It was stuck at the red M logo. The LED showed amber colored as well. I left it plugged in and the light remained amber until 90% battery, where it turned green.

I tried to turn it on and its been stuck on the red M logo. Its been stuck for more than 12 hours now.

I CAN access fastboot, android recovery, etc. I already tried wiping the cache and even did a factory reset. Still wont work.

What can I possibly do? I luckily have a backup phone, but I've had my photon for less than a month, no warranty, and I'm a novice Android user. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jmorse:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393519

Click on the software and tools link and use rsd lite to reflash the stock os onto the phone. If that doesn't work I would take it to the sprint store.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbb2388:
I assume you tried pulling the battery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
I'm downloading SBF now. Hopefully it works, because I live in Canada and we don't have Sprint stores.

And YES, I tried pulling the battery. Multiple times. With every combination (eg, plug in, turn on, then insert battery; put in battery, turn on, then plug in, etc)
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon_man:
the sbf should work but may i ask how you managed to brick your photon? when i just got mine i did everything wrong and i never got even a soft brick so i'm interested what i didn't mess up haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
Quick question: I should be downloading the most recent? Will it make a difference?

And damn, did I actually brick it?? I'm pretty new to this thing, this is my first Android and I've had it for less than a month...

And nothing should have triggered it. I added another line in build (ro.media.setting.1080p or something) and I added another setting in /system/etc/mediaprofiles.xml. I was trying to add 1080p to the camera (unsuccessfully). I didn't remove anything, and even after a reboot it was fine.

It wasn't until the battery died, where it stopped booting up. Just my luck :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
You should probably choose one of the newer ones, just becasue of bug fixes, etc. If you happen to know what version you were running before then I'd choose that. I cant stress enough, make sure the one you download is for the Photon and NOT Electrify! And technically yeah that is a brick lol but its extremely hard to legit brick beyond repair a photon due to the fact that we have RSD Lite and SBF files to bring it back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
Strangely, I found a thread depicting the same problem that I had, although with the electrify. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=14813

Anyways, the problem is fixed, by reflashing the SBF using RSD Lite, everything is back to normal! Well, almost, just have to restore my backup :D

Thanks so much for your help guys, I wouldn't have been able to fix it without you all!
[Motorola Photon 4G] 6thSense:
can you fix a bricked phone??

My Photon has done the same thing! I rooted her and did the Bootstrap Recovery thing. Everything was kosher until I tried to load that stupid Beats Audio. Something happened between me flashing it and the reboot where it locks the phone. I tried to do the Android recovery screen, I wiped, I did about everything I could find. No bueno.

I followed this forum and clicked the software and tools link as instructed. I tried with RSD 5.6, and tried several iterations of SBF's located here and here. I was using SBF - 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_MR-3-CM.

It lets me go into boot mode, and when I try to flash the SBF it appears to go through, but it always fails at the end. Which, the posts state it will do, but my phone will not reboot afterwords. After trying everything I could for a couple days, I decided to just take it to a Sprint store. Mind you I've had this under 30 days, but longer than 14 so they stated it would have to be replaced. They tried to flash, but said they were getting stuck too. :confused:

I know that a replacement is pretty much the answer, but just wanted to check one more time to see if anyone had any other ideas, or could point me to other forums maybe? Appears I've done what few have been able to accomplish...brick this joker.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
Slightly. It just has added height. It is a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9. Its not a big difference, and is basically the same thing between 1920x1080 versus 1920x1200.

Personally, the extra height is a plus.
