[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
oh yea not jus list!! menus shows more options without scrolling, messaging apps also shows more, android market shows more and with 200 u wont see any scaling issue with the search part of market either. movies and pictures are also fine in the gallery3d..

i havent tried twlauncher but i suggest if any of u want to test any home launchers is to clear your home button "defaults" so you can always switch back to launcherpro..

so far its pretty usable..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
Here is what i did:

Changed build.prop the line from 240 to 200

Made a system.prop.200 file and changed the line from 240 to 200.

I have JM5 with LagFix 2.0 (version 2.3) and i modified my userinit.sh script (dunno if needed)

At first get the 3 files (or just one if you dont have lagfix)

If you dont have the LagFix 2.0 just get build.prop

Open build.prop with Notepad++ or JEdit (or any linux compatible editor) and change the density line from 240 to 200.

If you have lagfix, make this also with system.prop.

Then open userinit.sh and write this at the beginning of the file:

This will copy the prop file to /system.prop

Then lets send the files back to the phone

(Skip last 2 steps, if no lagfix 2.0)

Then:

If you dont have lagfix 2.0 skip last 2 steps!

Now i have great resolution ;)

Touchwiz is startable, but the drawer is with old resolution..

So either system.prop is to late changed or it depends on sth different too....

Shoot U!, Space Physics and Blow Up all play in "Silhouette" mode.

Actually right, other games do work and I suspect the above are made by the same developer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
Robo Defense, is also small screen..

Is there any mobile out, which has this settings to <200?

Because, if there is a official mobile with such settings, we should ask such mobile owners, if there apps are working well..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bratfink:
@OP

If you are having trouble with your app, i suggest you look at the app 'Eris Market Fix' as it too is using script to change 1 line in the build.prop, in their case fingerprint, which im sure can be easily altered to focus on the lcd dpi line etc etc.. just an idea, hope it helps!

And at the person who posted before me the dell streak i believe has a setting different that the standard 240 however it seems it doesnt have a system.prop file which seems to be causing all the problems for us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
I asked the dell users here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7802012#post7802012

And i will search the source, if there is 240 hardcoded and for system.prop and build.prop..

Update: As you can read in the dell streak thread, there apps are also small (for example paper toss).

So change it to 200 for gaining higher density, but there will stil be some apps, which arent displayed correct. But this has nothing todo with system.prop file..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That is actually a good idea. The problem isn't that it isn't possible to read a file, parse it and alter it. The problem is that somehow it isn't possible to fire the regular java exec shell commands to do some working on the shell level. Somehow they are broken, I thought I found a workaround, but eventually I have to conclude that it only works for me and a few others. I guess I have to consult some bad ass hackers about this :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ace518:
I rather like the 160 setting. The app did bring me to a black screen (I am on a captivate) but changing the file and replacing it with rootexplorer worked great.

Only issue I am having is the reported notification bar text overwriting other text. I can deal with a few apps not scaling, but not being able to read the notification bar is a bad bug. I was curious, is there a way to install an alternate notification bar instead of the one we have? If there is, if anyone could put up a link towards one to try, i will gladly test away. Thanks.

And thank you again for this little enhancement... It really makes this phone shine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
Until someone fixes the notification bar, i will use 200 ;)

Its better and not so much bugs... Just some apps arent good designed and so it doesnt resize..

I am writing the devs, if i found such a problem and i hope the devs will fix this bugs (because with dell streak, you can choose the density in the menu).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Update, should be fixed

Ok, I rewrote the whole machinery and did the modification of the build.prop the "Eris Market fix"-way. The whole processing is now done by Unix/Linux commands.

It must be fixed. Don't hesitate to give some feedback, good or bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Should be fixed now. Please test and report back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Toss3:
Just tried it and it works as it should now - no more black screen upon bootup! Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Piny12:
Its now working for me too! I more and more love this phone! And Android!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DavidX_07:
Working on JP3 as well :) I use 200 and seems to everythinkg working good - I use Dialer One instead of stock dialer. Thanks a looot
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bratfink:
Would love to have my name under credits in the first post for giving the idea :D. Would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] plemen:
This works great! I'm using 220 just to get a bit more screen space and twlauncher works as well. Some games (Asphalt 5) and apps (root explorer, dialer) don't use the whole screen but not too noticable.

Thanks for the app!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] plemen:
Dupe - doh!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] achio1115:
While 200-220 looks nice, and helps gain a bit of screen space. However, some apps. won't resize to fullscreen... some even FC'ed. Reverting back to default value. =(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ace518:
I will test it as soon as I get my phone working again.

Tonight I saw there was a JM6 release and I am trying to flash it to my phone. Only problem is I have a captivate and it doesn't seem to be liking me trying to get it on there.

I just wanted to ask again though, are there any alternative notification bars out there. I know theres the black Nexus one(i think) in the themes area. Could using that or perhaps one meant for the MDPI instead of HDPI could get that working. I didn't have time today to really look around and see what was out there. Just putting my thoughts out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Can't you just flash a Captivate kernel (for example the JM3 one) over the JM6-ware? I believe I read this idea in the Captivate developers forum. I did it the other way around with Captivate firmware and it worked great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Well I think I actually going to give you some credits. It was a great idea. Eris Market Fix is known to run without any problems on many devices and Android versions, so... yes, thanks for the input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
what about mine? lol... btw im currently running 180 instead of 200.. still beautiful! everything still running like 200.. no problem so far still daily usable.. will report more if there are any big issues i ran into..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yep, on the list to... Isn't there any problem with the notification bar on 180? BTW I hope we can solve the dialer issue. It is usuable, but it's so awkward.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chololazo:
I get the black screen.

Sorry noob here. I installed the app and changed the value to 200 then rebooted right away.

and each time I reboot I just get a black screen. but the soft touch buttons seem to be working

how do I fix this ? I've tried the update.zip but an error keeps coming up.

sorry.I tried reading back but didn't really know how they fixed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
180 no problem with notification bar.. is it safe to go 170?? lol.. yea i know its abit small the dialer.. but u can always get dialerone from market.. that runs fullscreen with exception of landscape.. landscape u have abit of gap.. but that will do as i use it for dialing in the car since default dialer cant go landscape anyway..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
bwahahahaah!! i love ur credit list!! =P sweeett!!! can i thank god too?? ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
for those of you who wants to see whats the effect of 180 is i attached before and after pic here.. note that i used adw in the 180 screenshot just to demonstrate the power of this increased screen resolution as i dont want to mess up my neat launcherpro setup.. anyway you get the point.. just look at the notification bar to truly understand this whole density setting hack.. u will know what im talking about..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] blingblingslyna:
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Oooch:
Not really fixed is it, if it doesn't work with every app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ace518:
Thanks for the input. And yes I can, but i was having some trouble getting ODIN to work. He kept bricking my phone. Got that all sorted out though.

BTW, this fix works great on the JM6 that came out.

Still wondering what it would take to fix the garbled look of the notification bar. I'm thinking putting a custom notification bar that is meant for an MDPI device may work. Not sure. I'll be looking for one and trying tonight, at work now, so unfortunately I'm not really allowed to spend hours playing with my phone :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mrassol:
thanks for this tool, works great for me :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Yes, lot to do. Problem is I can't go back anymore to a higher density, so i'm pretty much interested in all solutions at the moment. I'm working right now on the dialer. Also, i'm looking for a way to create a special High Density "box" in which one can run apps that don't scale right on a low density screen.

@all if anyone is interested here is an interesting article on density support in android: http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=7821315

Bring on the chefs that will cook us some nice density roms :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks for the tip. I overlooked this one... I immediately stop with hacking the samsung dialer Thanks.

BTW I've looked at your pic from your devicescreen at a 180 density. Just awful man. I hope you have some really small fingers and a cognitive system that can process all that information in real time :p:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
i used adw there jus to demonstrate what this hack can do. my launcherpro setup is wayyy neater than that. lol.. personally i cant use that kind of setup myself.. way too messy for personal taste..

but if you were talking abt "really small fingers and a cognitive system", surprisingly the system handled all those drag and drop and launching within that messy and awful adw setup quite well and accurate even with my big thumb! i guess thats the beauty of a capacitive touchscreen coupled with android..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cutefox:
you are welcome.. but by all means pls dont stop the hacking.. im sure every1 is interested in how to get all the other samsung apps and others to scale correctly.. XD how do you actually hack it? im just wondering if there is a way as i previously says to single out any apps not to run in LDPI mode instead..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] derbysig:
nice app! thanks alot!!

but just a suggestion, probably u can include a 'default' value button to get things back to normal as an option within in...i believe some of us cant rem the default values of SGS....haha...

I'm going to push a more "finished" version to the Android Market as donation ware (and as always, keep a up-to-date version of the app free for downloading from the great xda-developers forum). If anyone has some suggestions for some additions, improvements etc. , please let me know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jdsemler:
I really liked 160, but I didn't like the toolbar getting corrupted. 165 works well if you like that small size without messing up the toolbar. I like to zoom all the way out and read webpages in landscape mode, and this lets me do it nicely.

Major update. See first post.

I also tried to make the app fool-proof. Lot of checking under the hood :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
Could you edit your first post and add all values, which does not corrupt the notifcation bar?

Or even in the help menu?

That would be great.. I just know 200 so far :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I manage to run 180 without a distorted notification bar. I even managed to run TWLauncher with a 200 setting (accidently during development :) )

BTW if you have a corrupt not. bar you can try to restore it by triggering a screen repaint by turning from landscape to portrait (or vica versa).

I use APK manager. It can't be found somewhere here on XDA-dev. Great decompiler, very simple to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] wuffa:
Thank for that, previously tried 160,170 and neither worked well :) somehow 165 is OK!

Trying to see how low i can go, 155 is cool but the notifications window goes small :( Plus the time is being chopped off a bit at the bottom of the lock screen. Don't care though, I want the lowest possible with the notifications window being ok!

Edit: 162 is the best i can do, 161 and 160 give me a dodgy status bar and anything lower gives me a small notifications window

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
yeah, I also can do 200 with TWLauncher. The first time I tested the tweak though, TWLauncher FC-ed on me. Maybe it was because of the widgets I had on my desktop when I tested the tweak the first time.

This is a really great app! The default on my phone is 160, so i set it to a BADASS 145, gives my phone a sweet high-resolution-y feel :D. Love it!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I tried a ridiculous 100 setting for the hell of it... As if I had a real small computer in my hand. Not useful, but way cool :cool:

@all I don't have any problems with the notification bar these days. Even at a density of 100 there is no distortion. Don't have any widgets installed this moment, and not really much apps. So, my conclusion would be that there is some app or widget that doesn't like divergent density settings.

(I would also conclude that the same app or widget is responsible for the fact that twlauncher crashes, because at this moment I can also run twlauncher with every density setting)

EDIT: I posted a update in the android development apps forum and on the Android Market. The update only addresses some problems other devices had with this app. I also did some minor cosmetic changes.

BTW I have decided to update only the versions on the Market and on the android development forum here on xda-dev. So, for updates for now and in the future head over to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765639.

Users that have installed a previous version should/ are adviced to download the new version from the other thread (see first post). The new version addresses the problem that one can't boot into the system because of a conflict between a particular density setting and a launcher and or widget.

Hey,

this tweak (V.3.0), causes me some problems with some software or games ...

list:

- Deep Green Reversi (default display pieces)

- Speed Anatomy (default display)

- Unblock Me Free (default management touch screen "calibration?")

Even putting the default setting (240) and reinstalling the software ... :eek:

Otherwise nice tweak :o

LOL, I just wanted to reply to your message when I saw the edit. BTW Thanks for noticing. A priority 1 todo: set compatibily back when user want to uninstall the software (or at least make a big note of this in the help file) Thanks!

BTW I could make an addition to set parameters for particular apps. I can imagine a list of apps that one wishes to run with for example a 240 density and comp. mode off. Clicking an app would reboot the system with the right density, with or without comp. mode and then after rebooting runs the app.

Market APK now working...?!

Hey appelflap,

I just paid for the Market version (although I had already downloaded the APK from XDA). And now I can't download/install it from the Market:

First, it said --> "error during download" (in German: Fehler beim Ladevorgang).

Then, it says --> App not correctly signed.

Would be nice if you could fix that. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Did you have an old version installed? Please uninstall that one because it is signed differently. After u uninstalled the old one do a fresh install of the new version. If you have correctly signed version on your phone there will be no more problems in this regard with future updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jtmoney00:
I've yet to get this app to work. I install it and set the setting to 200. Phone reboots and it looks beautiful. 45 seconds later the phone reboots and set itself back to stock setting.

Any ideas? Running SRE 1.2.1a SetPCU set at 1200mhz. Running LauncherPro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
That would be the boot monitor that is restarting your device automatically. Don't you get a dialog window after a reboot in which you can confirm that you want to stay with the new density setting? If not, be patient the next time and let the bootmonitor pop up after a reboot and confirm the new density setting.
