You don't have to root to change dpi. I used adb. There are a lot of guides out there. It's very simple imo. Google "how to change dpi without root" good luck!
[Nexus 5X General] Rado_vr6:
Forgot all about that method. Using it now good sir
[Nexus 5X General] compulov:
Does the build.prop method make all apps behave properly? I tried using the adb method, but I had a few apps which didn't handle it properly (not the least of which was the Play store).
[Nexus 5X General] Aleq:
440. That matches roughly to the same estate as Galaxy S4 - just a tad bigger (as I expected when upgraded 5.0" to 5.2")
[Nexus 5X General] jss2:
I was psyched when my Nexus 5X arrived and I saw that the stock DPI was 420. For the past two years, I've been changing the DPI on my Nexus 5 from 480 to 420...

Hi,

can I use the Fire TV Stick as a bluetooth receiver for my AV Receiver?

Perhaps with an automatically launched app.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I've been working on picture viewer for the HTC Touch that has a little more of an intuitional feel(kinda like the iphone tho mine has some major differences) You can use the touch screen for everything including changing pictures, panning, and zooming in or out. Right now 2 mega-pixel images take about a second to load(used to take 4-5!)

Here's how to control it:

To use gesture mode check "Gesture Mode" in options menu, to use double-click mode uncheck "Gesture Mode."

Gesture Mode:

Sweep your thumb to the left to move to the next picture

Sweep your thumb to the right to move to the previous picture

(for sweeping, start with your thumb/finger off the phone, otherwise it'll mistake it for the panning gesture)

Press on the picture and then move to pan

Double-press to change to full screen.

Double-Click Mode:

double press to switch between panning and switching pictures/zooming.

move picture with finger in panning mode

zoom by moving finger up/down in non-panning mode

switch pictures by moving finger left/right in non-panning mode

Reply if you have any questions :)

Update 3/3/08 6:49 PM PST:

Eesh, so for those of you who downloaded that last update earlier today, I'm sorry. I found a couple rather nasty bugs that made the program nigh on unusable after I left the house. Fortunately I've managed to fix those and it's looking pretty stable. You can also now zoom in unlimitedly(almost). Basically it'll let you zoom in until your phone runs out of memory to handle a picture of that size. Don't worry, it won't crash or anything, it just won't go any bigger(you'll kinda see it seem to bounce back to being its original size). Let me know about any problems you find. On a side note, I actually was able to make it crash by trying over and over again to push the picture past the boundary the phone could handle. It should work perfectly for normal use, just don't go trying to make it break, or it will.

Update 3/3/08 10:13 PM PST:

Big day today updates wise, and this one is a BIG update. First, I fixed the problem of the background not covering all of the screen in landscape mode. What? That's not a big enough update? Ok, I'll throw in the ability to rotate pictures too :). There is now a button in the bottom-right corner(should be out of the way enough I think) that will rotate the picture 90 degrees counter-clockwise. There is one slight problem with the rotation, it works kinda strangly with my new zooming algorithm and if you zoom in too much and then try to rotate it will crash the program. Simply put, just don't zoom in very far and then rotate it and it should be fine. Oh, and for those worried about speed, it rotates in a fraction of a second(don't know exactly how long but it feels instantaneous).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] signs2006:
Sounds great!

I tried it but i'll get an error related to "Internal.Get.File.Directorynames".

Maybe because the name of my storage card isn't "Storage card" but "Opslagkaart" (dutch version).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
ya, that explains it... I need to fix that, I'll get on that now ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
Sounds COOL i'm in for testing :) ENGLISH rom here

OK now i understand what you mean by you just started working on it today lol so no need to talk about bugs yet hein

I really LOVE the double-click to exist maybe you can find another gesture for zoom in/out for example :)

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biffert:
How did you get the TouchFLO to respond to gestures? I was looking into using some gestures is a test application, but I havent found anything yet :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Heh, actually I didnt, I just set capture to true and created my own gestures(really, really simple ones) to handle it. I would have no idea how to utilize touch-flo for this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marcos200:
Man, you are the one.

i´m along time waiting for this stuff, men very very god.

Thanks, i´m rigth now testing your app.

work on this and make a realy god application for the ppc world .:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ok, here's an updated version, now it initializes to the root directory and lets you choose whichever folder you want to load pictures from. The pictures still load fairly slow but they are a little better. Also, pressing on the bottom menu activates it, so basically you double press on the menu/quit icons. However, you have to actually choose one of the options to get back to being able to move the picture again (annoying, I know but I'm trying to figure out a way around that.) Also of note: you press the names of the directories you want to open twice to go into them. Clicking accept will choose the directory you're currently looking at. I think you'll see what I mean. It's actually fairly intuitional when you're doing it. 2 MP pictures take about 4-5 seconds to load. Again, if any1 knows a faster way to load in the pictures than using the Bitmap constructor, please let me know. Finally, none of the menu items are actually implemented, so clicking on them right now just makes it so you can move the picture again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marcos200:
good work

:)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

Justo 2 remarks, your program have a lot of potential of improvements.

But for now, just 2 important functions. if is possible for you to improve.

1. 1 browser like resco picture viewer, just to chose 1 picture to start.

2. that browser need to be finger scroll friendly, just like the touch rom.

scroll and chose the picture that you like to see, pic the picture and see just one or scroll just like your application do right now, because now you must scroll to all the picture just to see 1 that is im the midle.

sorry for my ingles, but i´m also working on that

great job for you my friend, congratulations and good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
Ok here are some comments on the updated version :)

1. The swiping "feels" a little better but it still "hangs" on the border a bit

2. The picture still "looks" stretched on the screen

3. when you exist and re-enter the program the image location is not "remembered"

4. it would be nicer if we can have a tree view of the folders to select from

5. when u reach the last (or first picture) we shld somehow be notified that it is the last picture OR loop again from the start

I really LOVE the concept of this program can't wait to see it done
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
@ArcticCat, it does actually loop again to the first picture when you get to the end. What were you experiencing? If it crashed it's probably a memory issue. That goes along with my problem of opening the bitmaps, as does the hanging on the edge of the screen. Anyway, let me know, I can only try this on mine right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marcos200:
go on nice work.

a browser with pictures and landscape is the nest steps, in my opinion.

i`m just talking abaut resco viewer because is the program for me that actualy load a browser withy pictures very quikly, is very, very fast.

i dont now the working process used but...is just 1 ex. that is possible, and very fast with 7 mpixel fotos..

but i love your program and for me is now the 1 one for see fotos

must have 1 directory by defaut on open.

maube 1 option to browse with your app or use to browse the defaut one in WM just to see the pictures and when picture start.

go on and thanks a lot man...very...very..very and fast work.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
I'm sorry I just noticed it does loop!

can't wait to see the next upgrade
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryshah:
Aweome app with great potential !!

You will be the talk on xda for a few days to come !!

Cheers buddy !! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
any1 know where the app that rotates the screen is? I tried looking up how to do it within a program but it looks too daunting so I think I want to just launch that app but I can't find it. Let me know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Update time! :) This time I added that feature request for being able to choose a picture from the middle using a list of the pictures, you'll find the option under the menu under "Choose Picture." Also, I added full screen capability, just double press on the screen(yes, it replaced quit) and you'll get a little more room. That extra room would be completely unneeded were it not for my final update and the biggest of all. You can now resize the picture by sliding your finger up or down the screen. Up increases the size and down decreases it. Theres a wait period when you resize because it reloads the picture at the correct resolution. Have fun!

*Note:* due to the added memory needs of the choose picture screen, the app will probably crash if you try to load a picture from it unless you have the ROM with the expanded memory. I'll get to work now on another version where this isn't necissary but you won't get the choose picture feature. Still need a way to load in a 2MP image at a lower resolution without loading the entire thing into memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
A quick note before testing it :)

I think it is about time you start with

1. introducing version number for each release much easier to track which version we have installed

2. a history log

sorry for being picky ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
I'm back :)

1. Pictures in portrait mode are still loaded as landscape so they are stretched and distorted

2. picture folder is still not remembered

3. Maybe an option to start in the "choose picture" mode would be useful

4. I LOVE THE ZOOM in/out man it is really GREAT : IF possible you can make that the part that is being zoomed to is actually where the "click" occurred

5. Now that we can ZOOM basic finger movements like (UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT) should become part of PANNING across the picture no? maybe

a. double click to go back to "fit in view" size

b. changing pictures would only work in "fit in view" when zoomed in RIGHT/LEFT would Pan across the picture

c. to Zoom in out would become one quick click followed by another and then UP/DOWN

just speculating :D

keep it out please (y)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Marcos200:
Marcus,

hello again,

these becames my favorite tread on xda, and another one calls "TouchNav" is also cooll, but is far away from the final yet.

my comments are exactely the same as the last posted by ArticCat.

awsome program man, go on, you have a lot of talent.

1.another thing, just to help, the resco picture viewer do the load of 100 picture in the browser (to chose the start picture), in 1 second, it´s incredible the speed.

sorry but i dont know how it possible, but is just one example.

Maybe you change the defaut wm browser by the resco one, but if you do that, you stay dependtly from resco application (:confused: )

2.the landscape option not work

3. the options not work

4 we need a icon for this application, yes this app as grow and now is a serious one, she want a icon :)

Thanks and good work:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I'm going out of town tomorrow morning and won't have my computer with me so there won't be any new updates till I get back. However, I will continue to watch this thread(using my touch hehehe) and can respond to any questions you guys have(or any ideas!) I'm not sure when I'll get back but it'll be definately by sunday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
heh, actually I'm kinda surprised people are still looking at this. I'm thinking about starting developement again since there's interest and I've noticed a rather nasty bug in the htc album program where it keeps changing back to the first picture you rotate sometimes. Anyway, I don't have screenshots.. mainly just cause I don't have a way to take them. any1 have a cab for a screenshot app? Also could use instructions as I haven't done that before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
bugs?

Alright, so let me know of any bugs that are in it. I'll start it off.

1: options menu shows a piece of the picture underneath it when in full screen mode.

2: still bounces up and down when animations are off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Hey it's been a while but I've got a new update that fixes the previously mentioned bugs. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khizar79:
its not working giving lots of error. when u chose a picture the picture doesn't appeare & when u move finger upward gives error. and then quit
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jura_ZG:
Where can we download ti? Is this new wersion on the first page link?

Ok i've got it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LeoArg:
Screenshots, please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik_for_you:
its not starting..

opens with blank page.. and if try to scroll with finger.. it crahes..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] @rj*n:
using S2v!!

hi checked it out on my HTC touch (elf) didn't work out for me:(!!! still needs lot work on it... m using S2V currently instead!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
ya, gonna work on the whole crashing thing but the coming up with a white screen SHOULD happen. You have to go to menu then press choose directory to choose the directory where the photos are located. Might change that since it seems like a bad idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik_for_you:
ya photos are opening nw.. but they are bouncing badly.. i tried to disable it from option but then also it is..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik_for_you:
panning is very good man.. liked
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Well, another fix is up(on the first post as always). This one removes that white screen completely and just asks you to choose a directory if there aren't any pictures. Also, if you try to use a directory with no pictures in it, it will give you a black box and say "No Pictures Found!" as it did before. The black box shouldn't make it crash at all, fortunately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nik_for_you:
will try.. at let u knw ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
whoops sorry nik_for_you and anyone else who tried the version from earlier today. There were some pretty bad bugs in it but I've managed to fix those in a new version on the first post. Also, it adds greater ability to zoom, which is always nice. Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
hehe another update. it's a big one, so check the first post. Also, I REALLY need a program that can take screenshots since I don't currently have any way to do that. Let me know if any of you know of a program to do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ervinelin:
hi there,

great application! most of the bugs I think have been sorted out in the latest version but zooming in and out for me still causes a crash every time.

Also can the image be viewed to the maximum area of the screen without having to zoom in?

Lastly, can it remember which orientation it was previously in? So if it closes in landscape mode, it opens in landscape mode.

Thanks, looking forward to your next update!!

Ervine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burningwheels:
With me it also crashes every time i zoom in. I receive an error: System.Drawing.Bitmap.Unlock at InternalRotateImage.

But it is potentially a great application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys. I'm pretty swamped with classes and just started my senior project so I'm not going to be able to get updates out as quickly as in the past. Some quick answers:

Ervine: The landscape mode idea is a good one, I'll think about that. For the crashing, I'm probably going to impose a limit again, but I need to run some trials to see what a good one would be. A big problem is that different people have different ROMs loaded with different amounts of memory let along have different amounts of programs running in the background. That said, I'll try to find a setting that works VERY reliably on mine and impose that as a limit which should stem the crash problem. For the image filling the screen, I'll definately add that next version(at least every image will come up filling the screen, not sure what kind of control to make to set it back and it might be easier to just go to the next picture and go back) since that should be easy enough.

burningwheels: That looks like it's asking for more memory than your device has available. That's happening because the image was rotated before your zoomed in. I'm working on fixing it but in the mean time you can either zoom or rotate the image, doing both might cause a crash depending on memory.

Hi!

Just one word to tell you that your Picture viewer does work on my HTC Trinity fitted with WM5... A little problem though : once in awhile I get a message that my device gets out of memory, and that the program has to be terminated...

But anyway, this is truly impressive. Thanks a million!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dannydeman:
Nice application. Please keep working on it :) it's worth it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwues:
Great app! very excited about upcoming updates, this will be a must have app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] canardlebarbare:
Hello,

I agree with the fact that loading images is really slow. I made some tests when I received my Touch, and if I remember well, I estimate that .Net apps on my Touch need between 100ms and 120ms to load a 300*200 JPG image from a buffer.

Just unusable. By the way i made the test in Java J2ME. The result is between 12ms and 15ms. Even if i prefer the .Net solution, it could be an issue for your PictureViewer maybe ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zachr3:
fantastic app!

so looking forward on upcoming updates :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cngfive:
Great app, great potential. Keep up the good work and please continue to make improvements!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ddotderek:
amazing concept, please keep working on this..it would be a huge step up for the ppc world..pictures looks stretched, picture swiping speed is slow, but like i said, amazing concept
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] douginoz:
Most apps that do this sort of thing use a cache of thumbnails that they generated the first time they find the pic in the directory. After that, you're only working with the thumbnail until you zoom in, then it uses the big one. But it can start loading the big one in the background while you're viewing the thumbnail.

Douginoz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ya, I tried to make it load a the next and previous pictures while showing the current one but threading doesn't seem to work and it just sits there until the thread doing it finishes. It looks like I'm gonna have to delve into the imgdecmp dll and to load in an image at a different resolution. Just need to find the functions to do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
NICE finally we have

1. Versions :) Yes I do like this

2. Icon :) ok the icon is not great looking but it is still something ;)

now me rambling

1. The zoom works really good, it is sensitive enough on my touch and i like it

2. option to start in picture chooser is good

3. IMHO double click should toggle between 100% view and "fit to screen" view

4. panning should be done with the finger and not the hardware key :) how to solve the problem of the zoom and switching pics? easy ! zoom will become double tap then up/down and flip picture is only available in "fit to screen mode"

What language are u using? I MIGHT (I am saying might) be able to help u develop this great software

thanks for your efforts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
For your screen rotation problem I found out that

HKLM\system\GDI\Rotation

You have a key called ANGLE change that to 90 degrees an soft reset the screen will rotate so u shld only find a way to "refresh" the device or similar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
The only problem I see with using the touchscreen for panning is that it would remove the ability to zoom in when not in fit to screen mode. So you can zoom when you're in fit to screen mode but as soon as you zoom in you can't zoom anymore. Problem is that would restrict how far you can zoom in. That's why I decided to use the hard keys. I guess I can add switching to the pan mode when you double-press instead of switching to full screen, gonna have to fix the full screen menu item first tho ;). I'm using C# to write this in Visual Studio 2005 sp1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Oh, I fixed the screen rotation thing, if you notice, the landscape option now works. :) thanks tho.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArcticCat:
OH I should have missed that :)

but now i found you 2 bugs ;)

1. if you are in landscape mode and start picture viewer it will automatically switch you back to portrait mode not a big deal at all but just thought i'd let you know

2. Try to open a landscape picture in landscape mode :)

3. did you ever had the chance to test the iphone? the picture flipping is really smooth you don't need to actually drag the pic till the end of the screen it is enough to give it a quick flip to move the the next one and that would be nice too

Hey please don't think i'm nagging I LOVE the prog it is my default picture viewer now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ya, I know about the first one, had to put that in cause I couldn't find a way to check if it's already in landscape mode and it freaked out if it started in it so ya... For the second one, it works to load in a landscape picture as long as it's actually landscape(default for the camera is 1200x1600 instead of 1600x1200, the pictures are, by default, saved sideways because it's assumed that the screen is usually held that way.) I decided to leave it like that cause otherwise landscape would be exactly the same as normal. For the third, I'll probably do that for a future release but want to pin down the basics(loading pictures at a reasonable speed) first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ok, so I found out imgdecmp doesn't exist and you have to use aygshell, which I tried but couldn't find a function that lets you load one in with a different size or loads any faster than the .net Bitmap constructor. Back to the drawing board I guess. At this point, I don't even know where to look so if any1 knows how to load in big pictures fairly quickly in C#, let me know.
