[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
You can change the DPI of the display in WM5 by changing the following keys:

HKLM/Drivers/Display/GPE/

LogicalPixelsX

LogicalPixelsY

Using 96 for both should give you what you would expect from upgrading from 320x240 to 640x480 - i.e. 4x as much "screen space."

HOWEVER!

When I choose a LogicalPixelsX (height) value lower than 192 (even 190) apps like Contacts and Calculator refuse to run and various icons & display elements disappear. LogicalPixelsY doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Its just one of those things mate. The VGA hacks all reduce the size to 96dpi that being half of the normal 192. Any other ratio just doesnt seem to wash. A cpl of ppl have had success with 144 (I think). I didnt myself. My sad conclusion is the best solution is to use the .mui file hack to you can at least have apps like Adobe, Pocket Streets, and some games run in true VGA mode.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Hi,

when u change the dpi, u must ensure that the corresponding files are available in your windows directory! Search for *192*.* files in your windows directory....these are resource files built to suit 192 dpi. When you change it to, lets say 96dpi, you must have the same equivalent file *96*.* files, otherwise you'd have missing icons and graphics!

Hope that answers!

S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
No, it was with *any* value below 192, including 96. I tried 96 first.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
Hey :-)

Looked in \Windows, found no *192*.* files :-(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
they are dlls, so you must make sure you've turned "show all files/ system files" option on, else you wont find them!

Anyways, here is a bunch of DLLs for you...(rename them to whatever DPI you want, and copy them into your windows folder).

I've included a Disable certificates cab file, which is needed to make sure windows chooses unsigned files to run....so that the new resource files you provide are accepted by windows....

let me know how it works!

cheers,

S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
Wow, thanks! You exceeded my expectations!

I can see the files now, in the first instance I was looking for them on the device instead of with ActiveSync.

Will try it now & let you know how it went...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
Perfect! Thankyou :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
ok... *nearly* perfect...

Contact details can't be viewed
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Thats great, you finally got it working! :)

You'd have many apps screwed up in vga mode, thats common! For some of the default system apps, there are fixes which you could apply....look around the forum for the words "fixed" & "VGA"....and you should find them.

cheers,

San

PS: Whats with the contact details? I dont remember having a problem there!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
What device are you doing this one if you dont mind me asking?

I just noticed the soft blue lights there looks alot cooler then the red menace of the jasjar. Then again I thought the jasjars was good till I saw the blue keyboard backlight so maybe its a case of the grass is greener :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
its the o2 exec!

S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
At 640x480 the contact details are just blank.

Thanks for the tip, I'll go a-searching!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
Or bluer...?

In case Osir1s is not aware: the O2 Xda Exec is the exact same device as the iMate JasJar. Except it has a blue keyboard backlight (probably a tiny bit more expensive to make) and a different font on the keys. Oh, and the body is in a really nice matt black. But I keep having to wipe my grubby fingerprints off it with a cloth made for cleaning LCDs.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
heh well thanks for the info but yes I tend to do my research before purchasing an expensive gadget so I know about the exec; just hadnt seen a pic of the blue backlight.

I actually was all keen on importing an Exec until I discovered the finish on it. The same with the XDA Atom, the piano black finish ruins it for me. I learnt my lesson with casing like that from the Motorola mpx200. I was forever wiping that thing down.

Will be a cold day in hell when I go back to those days :twisted:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
This is my 2nd matt black device, the first was a custom case for a little Samsung A300 which I still have. Arriving in the post soon will be a tiny bluetooth GPS device (which appears to have an accelerometer inside it) which is also matt black.

BTW, speaking of "expensive" - the Exec only cost me about AU$360 (with a ~AU$45/mo contract)

Ooh, I just thought of the ideal accessory for the Universal - remember the "tiny" phone in Fifth Element which looks huge by today's standards? How about a bluetooth "headset" like that? One that you hold to your ear, so it's easier to operate. Probably a good way forward for most mobiles now - if they'd only engineered bluetooth to handle connection with more than one device at a time. Then you could buy different brands of GSM radio, handset, camera, storage, keypad, display and use them all together. No doubt there would be a bluetooth capable iPod which would allow you to store all your contacts alongside your tracks. Oh well, maybe next time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:
One problem I still have not being able to solve:

It is quite easy to change the DPI with the method described above (i.e. copying the corresponding .dll's to windows directory and changing the 2 registry entries).

So far so good.

I have however up to now not been able to find a background (*.tsk file) which is large enough for true VGA (except the Windows standard which I don't like).

All the other *.tsk files I am using on VGA 192 display smaller on the true VGA resolution.

Is there a way to increase the size of the *.tsk files ? Couldn't find a graphics editor yet to do that (not even infantview which normally reads almost everything)

Anybody has an idea ?

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Yes like most devices you will find the European and Australian versions of expensive are quite different, ie. Until this month infact no Aust. provider has provided the jasjar on a plan, hence these must be purchased out right for $1500 odd dollars, hence I consider that an expensive device.

I suspect even when Vodaphone do offer this device on contract later this month the monthly fee with be the usual $99, although likely with a cap plan so some repreive there; still expensive though.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
It doesn't really matter. Threads can meander around the subject and take on side issues from time to time, and I think trying to force them into a channel of The Original Subject can stunt the overall community spirit. It also doesn't do a great deal for ones latteral thinking or creativity to keep so focused. How can you think outside the box if you're locked inside it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madkat:
You could always ask one of us nice UK dwellers to take delivery of a ~$970 Exec/JasJar and post it on to you.

Unfortunately, I'd like to get the problem solved which is inside the box......

I have this job *because* I think outside the box. It's an extraordinarily useful skill. Of course, it depends on what your situation is and whether you prefer to follow orders, or simply achieve a goal.

BTW: the lock is on the outside of the box, and so are numerous tools which would help solve the problem inside it :wink:

Well im glad other people have helped you and yes I was aware the thread was mulling about on different courses, however my and madkats little side story if anything just kept this thread afloat rather then you sitting in here posting 'Bump' or just letting the topic die.

In any case the last post contained alot of what I would consider helpful links so hopefully the issue has been resolved for you, although im pretty confident you will still have other issues with the Dpi but thats for another thread I guess.

I'm 'flitting' between 640x480 WM5 and Linux at the moment, actually... When I do get Linux running, and when Linux is all in its finalised state, I'd probably like to run both.

original firmware had a number of hidden codes that you put into dialer and it does stuff. None of them work anymore. Particularly the ones I care about are:

[Moto X Q&A] bobo-the-drunk:
Ah, I didn't realize you wanted the long version. If you follow jcase's instructions from start to finish (including running Use RockMyMoto and MotoWPNoMo) you'll be good to go. First thing you'll need to do is use RSD Lite to downgrade to 4.2.2, from there you can use a bunch of exploits to remove write protection (MotoWPNoMo) and root 4.2.2 (RockMyMoto). Once that's done, you can upgrade to 4.4 and follow jcase's guide (SlapMyMoto) to root your Verizon phone with 4.4.

If you're new to rooting, follow this guide:

[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
In reality he can do it either way if he dose not want to unlock he does not have to but my guide covers both ways
[Moto X Q&A] Coop9:
I can see someone wanting to do that if they had a non-dev edition phone which was unlockable, in order to save the warranty, but unlocking the bootloader just makes sense if you have a dev edition and want to root. It's literally a 5-10 minute process, and very simple to follow.
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
i agree with you the one thing that i cant stand about the Moto X forum is the important info is not sticky'ed like it should be to help new comers find out how to do things. i know when i first got my moto X 3 months ago i unlocked my bootloader but because i could not find a good guide i did the whole slapmymoto steps to root 4.4.

this is one of the reason's why i try to answer any Q and A i can and why i try to keep my guide as updated as i can i just wish they would sticky it for people to find it easy. but anyway back to adding how to unlock the bootloader to my guide.
