Oh, apparently turning compatibility mode OFF makes a huge difference! I misread the description and thought it said to turn it on to fix scaling issues. Everything is perfect now with it off!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottndville:
This is great. Before its like having a 24" monitor and only using 1024x768 running the setting of 210 now its like 1680x1024. I feel like I can really enjoy the larger display of my EVO. Thanx for this mention and thanx to the DEV.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottndville:
YUP gotta read the help file ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I didn't even have to do that. I just had to re-read the description under the compatibility mode toggle. D'oh.

What I love about XDA is clicking on interesting topics and finding something that changes my phone from good to AWESOME.

This is one such topic.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
Agreed. This was an awesome find. The Evo should have shipped this way.

I read about boot loop errors in the other thread. Scared to try anything besides 200. Anyone have feedback with results above or below 200?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vinscuzzy:
Heres mine set at 172. I have tried a ton of different settings, none of which have caused any bootloops.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Yeah, I was also getting some issues with 200. I would get stuck on the EVO splash screen a lot. I'm at 220 now, but I want something lower. I might try 188 or something when I install Fresh 3.2.0.0.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
I just noticed. How did you get 9 buttons with Switcherpro? Or is that a different power control?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
That's the superior Extended Controls.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JackDaniels7:
i want to try this befor i buy it and see hot it works on my EVO can the OP drop me a pm with link so i can test it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You have 48 hours to refund any app on the Market. I've never seen people act so stingy over 95 cents...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JackDaniels7:
I use a Prepaid card for all my internet purchaces no matter how secure the website is that means that if i want to buy somthing from the market i have to go into town reload the card and then make my purchace. Identity theft is not fun so yes i am asking if he will give me a link but i am more than willing to pay for it if and when i try it out and my evo works well with it.

also there are people that cant get on the market yet so why don't you hop the hell off your high horse and let the op decide if he wants to let somthing be tested for free first.

he could also make a lite version that has adds if he wanted and then anyone could try that free and make there decition.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Maybe because the dev took down the free download for the exact reason that he was asking for. Too many mirrors were going up, and the dev didn't appreciate it. If 95 cents is a big problem for you, you shouldn't own a $500 phone. Get off your paranoid horse.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JackDaniels7:
the dev took it dow cause people were abusing it he also listed the he wanted people on this forum to get to try it. i intend to pay for it just not today. as for paranoid come talk to me when somone take steals your credit card and racks up a few thousand in a weekend then even though the bank cleared it up your credit score is still f***ed up. cause some punk kid didn't want to work for the 40in plasma tv he bought with your stolen card.

not paranoid but i like my credit score i it alows me to do things like buy a house for my child

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SharkUW:
Just as a better followup to my last post. Aside from layout issues, things that should be pixel to pixel will be scaled smaller, blurring them. As far as designing for a layout that is dynamic, that's not really an option for things that use images such as sense stuff among many of the other prettier apps. You also may run into apps that have different versions by device/screen as well as apps that adjust their layout by screen dimensions that behave oddly at the odd effective dimensions they are presented with. You won't find many good looking apps that reflow to anything/everything because handling such things is ridiculously hard. Choosing a font size would be a nightmare.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Go to the Market and search "Extended Controls." Voila!

The Facebook/Twitter one is Pure Messenger Widget, and the calendar is Pure Calendar Widget. Pure Messenger can be used for Facebook, Twitter, SMS, and email.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
So does anybody have a setting that doesn't screw up the Evo apps? It seems to me that to use this app, you have to lose Beautiful Weather and AudioManager. Those are two of my most expensive apps. You could replace Beautiful weather with Weather Toggle or whatever the other one is, because it remains centered.

So, has anyone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Yea I finally downloaded this **** and it tore up my widgets and made launcher pro chug like hell till it just fc'd

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
I haven't seen any problems with this app (yet). I just installed it, and set New Density to 200, and reboot. Didn't change anything else.

Under Settings: Compatibility should be left uncheck, and It shouldn't matter, but I have Reboot Automatically checked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
Attached pics
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
Sorry. Didn't know I could only attach 1 image from XDA App. Additional pics below.

Don't know why the phone didnt ship this way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Turn off compatibility mode to fix that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjones832:
So I bought the app, installed it, set density to 200 and rebooted. 3-4 times a day while using my phone, it will randomly lock up for a second or two and reboot. Anyone else experience this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Hasn't happened to me any on CM6. I did have a couple problems with Fresh with 200 density, but that was mainly when booting.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjones832:
Lucky. Lol. Yea, its just really random reboots. And some apps and game dont like the change. I have a really hard time swiping or tapping. Perfect example is unblock me free.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JvIo55iBl3r:
Thanks for recommendation, works great for me, feeling just like when we change from CRT to Hi-Res LCD with cleartype setting in windows , sharper(is that right word to describ? anyway) and clearer. sweet...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjones832:
Yea, its really a great program. I have given up the apps and games that don't work just so I may keep the awesome screen resolution. But if the reboots keep happening, I'm going to have to try a clean CM6 install without all the customization like themes and whatnot. We'll see...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] danootz:
Tried it. The idea is great but I'm not going to give up widgets and apps that get broken by the resolution change.

Refunded it.

Default resolution for the EVO is 240 right? I set it back as such and the widget and app it broke are still displaying the wrong way.

**update**

App left my device a mess even after resetting things and uninstalling it. Think I'm going to have to wipe it and reinstall the ROM to get it working again. Uninstalling and reinstalling affected apps does not help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You just have to change the LCD density line in the build.prop. It's not a very complicated task. You don't even need the app to make the change.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
I had bad experiences with this app. Had to wipe and reboot in order to be as was before.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
All you really had to do was edit your build.prop. No need to wipe anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jonnei:
This app on CM6 is nice. I bought it and will definetly keep it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jykinturah:
Everyone with problems, if you haven't done so already try going into the app, Menu > Settings > and checking the compatibility box (this will turn compatibility off). Solved a lot of stuff for me. Makes some apps not scale, but they all work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saguratus:
Getting constant crashes, and my battery life has been cut by ~70%. LauncherPro doesn't exactly play nice either, it'll periodically crash/lock up. That aside, 200 is so much better over the stock 240.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
This app is only cool if you don't care what the phone looks like. It messes up the orientation of the widgets. They're all stretched unnaturally or over on the left.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjones832:
I agree with most other users. This app is absolutely stunning in concept however, and prolly not due to the dev's fault, other programs dont work exactly swimmingly. So I'll hold onto my purchased copy and maybe wait to see if the dev can hammer out some of the issues with program and widget scaling.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Only on widgets with fixed widths. All of the Pure widgets and Extended Controls scale perfectly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] FDDT:
Doesn't work for me, the value doesn't change (I tried it using Root Explorer to change it and this one). I have VirusRom RC2 with the BFS' virus Kernel, any ideas? :S
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
It might be the kernel.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rootwind:
I had to clear dalvik cache before some of the apps reverted back to the default resolution.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] felacio:
Just downloaded and am trying it now. The smaller keyboard doesn't really bother me.

Having more screen real estate is nice. Everything (mostly) looks sharper which is nice.

The issues that are getting to me are;

Mango rEVOlution theme. The notification bar icons are blurry now. That's annoying.

Beautiful widgets clock/weather doesn't look right when its not tweaked. Even after tweaking it is still off with some clock themes.

In order to "fix" beautiful widgets you need Launched Pro or ADW. set icon Rows to 5 with launcher pro and probably more with ADW. That helps.

Asphalt 5 HD doesn't work (device is not supported). Nova is shrunk in the middle of the screen, and i'm going to assume the other GameLoft games will have issues as well.

I'm still on the fence in whether to refund or not.

My setup: BakedSnack 1.5 / rEVOlution 1.2 theme. KingxKlick BFS 8

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] FDDT:
Reverted to the stock kernel and it ain't work...

Guess is time to change the rom, lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Helton566:
Awsome app! No issues here. 200 is sharp and eye catching. Best 1.00 I spent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] whoamanwtf:
it made my home screen look awesome but it made most of my apps run in kinda offset screen when I set it at 220
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vboyz103:
I noticed that if the app is well written to not have FIXED resolution but check for available resolution then the app will function well with this change. Otherwise, you'll see various defects in graphics of the app.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] felacio:
Just wanted to let you all know. I just tried asphalt 5 and NOVA again, didn't change my density of anything (although the application was updated) and they both work, fullscreen without a hitch now. I even tested Gangstar and Let's Golf and both those work too. Hmm.. odd, but, i'm not complaining!

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Did you disable compatibility mode? They should scale to the screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] illogic6:
Wow. This just made my phone **** itself big time. LauncherPro is awesome, but suddenly it's running at a snail's pace with a pixel density of 200. :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
That is very strange considering that ADW runs fine, and LauncherPro usually runs much better than ADW.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chronzy:
Great app. I love the smaller look, like the resolution got jacked up a little.

-launcherpro is running fine

-beautiful widgets look fine

Only two issues i'm having are:

-Switchpro looks a little grainy now (esp. no background)

-Every time I switch wallpapers, it gives me grass and I have to reboot to get the new wallpaper. And I go through wallpapers a lot, heh.

But its definitely a keeper, despite the flaws. LOVE the extra screen space- one of the better benefits is taller menus in landscape. Thanks for posting Biles!

[Edit] Running CM6 final with setting @ 200... tempted to go lower. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
i did the manual version and set it to 215 and like it, as soon as the udpates stop coming, i will probably pick this up and donate.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
I love the idea of this, but the problems I'm having in ADW is becoming a deal breaker. Here's what will happen.

-Set density to 215

-ADW runs fine in portrait or launcher

-I rotate the screen, and the launcher runs at a snail's pace

-When I rotate back, acore force closes, and ADW has to load again

-The orientation it loads back to runs at normal speed, repeat

I don't know what people are or are not doing to not see this, but it's killing me.

EDIT: It looks like ADW doesn't like having scrolling widgets and a different density, though I don't understand why that'd be a big deal.

EDIT: Or not again... Even after removing the scrolling widget it still explodes when I rotate..

EDIT3: Looks like if I have scrolling widgets enabled, regardless of the size, ADW crashes on rotation. If I uncheck it, it rotates fine. Can't have everything, I guess..

EDIT4: Haha. Even if I don't have scrolling widgets enabled it will crash. I don't know what to do here.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Simple solution: Don't enable rotation. I've never seen the point of that on the home screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Daft Punk:
x2. I have it off.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BB15:
Or the dev can fix the problem. Any app that breaks functionality, regardless of how seemingly insignificant is a problem IMO. If you like it, more power to you, but disabling features is never a "solution".

I was trying this for awhile with my screen density set to 215. It looked pretty good, but not so good that I preferred to lose functionality like screen rotation and some apps/games looking like garbage, or not working at all.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Daft Punk:
the app just released like last week. give it time to marinate and let the dev tweak it up. Dont get your feathers get all ruffled up, geez.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BB15:
No ruffled feathers here. :)

I understand that the app is in early development and I'm sure the dev will make the necessary improvements. It's a great idea, just not for everyone yet.

Not trying to bust any balls, just giving my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
usin this on my droid and im lovin it...no problems whatsoever and the phone feels close to the awesomeness of the 4.3" screen i wish i had =p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
Just because you've never seen the point of having a landscape home screen does not mean others don't. I personally like reading webpages in landscape mode, so it's a pain to hit home and rotate the phone back around to Portrait or read it sideways for the two seconds I'll be in it.

What's weird about the problem is that it will go away for brief instances before coming back. I haven't done extensive testing with LauncherPro, so I don't know how exclusive the problem is. I prefer ADW's swipe up/down features and the dockbar over LP's sliding dock, so I'd like to keep it with this if I could.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Helton566:
In the pics on the first page what programs are they for the agenda and the feed? I can't find anything that even looks close.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
I tried this app. It did not resize my home screens. Tried a few reboots and said ah hell, I wasn't all that interested. Reverted to 240 in the settings. Rebooted. Uninstalled. Now my weatherbug application is the only thing that had the screen size affected and it don't revert to stock. Im now missing the buttons at the bottom and framing is off. Im unable to fix it. Reinstalled the app, nothing. Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, still the same. Oh well. I guess it will get fixed next time a flash a new rom.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jadoe05:
Hey guys no need for any (seemingly) condescending remarks. I can confirm that iif you have the latest versions of both LCD density changer and ADW, then only having rotation on is not your problem. I am using this setup and it works just fine for me. Try restoring adw settings to default and see if that works for you.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
I was able to fix it by reinstalling the app ($1 gone, but seriously so what), enabling compatability mode, setting the density back to 240 and rebooting. Now that I know that works, maybe I'll play around with settings.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Has anyone gotten any problems with WeatherBug Elite? It's totally jacked up for me, but that is the only app so far with problems.

Sent from my Commodore 64 Evo running 8 bit XDA
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] halorin:
After trying a lot of different thongs, I've resolved to the idea that adw does not play well with different densities if you use anything but a 4x4 grid. Anything else crashes on rotation for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Ah, you're right. I wonder why it is so messed up compared to other apps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
For me it's the only thing that responded to the density change at all. I set it to 200 and reboot. When it comes back up it looks the same and the confirmation screen says 240. So i'll watch the updates come since I can't refund and see what happens. Admitedly in weatherbug the maps looked superb. Bit you had to guess where the navigation buttons used to be to move around the app!

I think this is the verge of usability for me. But I am going to go a little higher JUST to see. It would probably be better if I didn't have the ManUP FONT. A super sexy font that gets near impossible to see at this density

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Just to let you know, this program changes the

ro.sf.lcd_density = 240

value in the build.prop. You can manually change it as well by editing that and rebooting. Looks like stock RUU is set at 240, and a commented out default at 160
