Just tried that. Was able to make a few changes with no problems. As soon as I tried to go back to the stock settings my phone would no longer boot past the white EVO screen. Doing a restore now :mad:

And of course the restore isn't working properly for some reason. Argh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
yeah

Yeah, I read the thread by Appleflap, about his app, and it really sounds like there are a lot of issues from doing this (at this point), some of which cannot be recovered from. And at the very least, there are apps and icons that won't scale properly, and there's no fix for that but to find new ones (from the horses mouth).

Things to be worked out by some real sharp devs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
I'm not totally convinced that this makes things anything beyond just smaller. I've been testing this a various resolutions and am not sure it really adds any new pixels...aren't "pixels" more hardware related? If it were just a software thing wouldn't everyone do it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rek410:
Well, it's not the same as windows desktop resolution but for arguments sake, yes it makes things smaller so you can fit more on the screen at once (see OP's screenshots for examples of how you can view more of the SETTINGS list after making the change)

Does anyone know how to (using sense) increase the number of widgets/icons allowed on the home screens? This mod gives me room for a 5th row/column on the screen but don't know how to take advantage of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
not sure but Calk's Evio 1.2 beta has 5 across in sense
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
I find it odd that it makes things "smaller" but the icons in the status bar seem scaled up and all blurry. but the time in the top right looks great
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattkenn4545:
Topic of this thread should be changed. This is not a resolution change. However it is a very useful way of getting a more useable experience. Almost makes my evo feel like a tablet.

I am having issues with acore force closes when awd.Launcher switches from landscape to portrait and vice versa. I had this issue on previous installs but this time it occurred right after making the change and don't really want to redo my setup again (full wipe). I've cleared cache and dalvik and did a fix permissions via rom manager with no change. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] scev5:
you cant actually change the pixels on your phone this is just scaling things up and down. Your not actually making your phone have a higher resosolution or more pixels. Your scaling. I guess its useful, but i think a lot of people here are misinterpreting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rek410:
OP made this pretty clear in his post, I think we're wasting thread space flogging a dead horse.

What we really need to supplement this mod is a universal way to add columns/rows to the desktop. Right now I'm scaled down to 180 and it looks beautiful but the icons still retain the original % of screen real estate and I could be doing a lot more with the extra space than I am.

I'm using LauncherPro but the same problem exists with Sense and AWD on all non-cyanogen roms I think.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NexuSix:
Great point the whole of idea of buying a larger screen is not to cram more crap on the screen with the same small content as found on the smaller screens but to have a bigger screen with larger more easily readable content.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattkenn4545:
Please mods change the title of this thread, its embarrassing. Calling this a change in resolution kinda dumb, its changing the dpi or scaling not the resolution.

Just my 2c :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattkenn4545:
Make sure to change uncheck the use of compatibly mode

Make sure to uncheck the use of compatibly mode. If you don't then lots of apps have weird scaling issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
No you are right. Im using a different theme and the notification bar looks fuzzy or blurred. Looks like garbage. Hopefully we can resolve this. I reverted back to 240.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Do you mean make sure it's checked? I got tons of weird scaling issues with with it unchecked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greg82uk:
Galaxy S

Just used this mod on my Samsung Galaxy S, Sweet!!!! :o) Thanks for the tutorial, great find! I went with Home Tag 2.1 for my home screen, while it doesn't allow you to change number of columns/rows, it does adjust itself to fit the 200 resolution rather nicely! :o) Thanks again! :o)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brunes:
No, you are correct, that is all it does.

People are confusing DPI and resolution. They are not the same, if anything, they are opposite. Changing your DPI from 240 to 160 means android is going to paint LESS dots per inch. Sure, by keeping the same resolution, it means widgets will take less space. But it also means that raster graphics like fonts and the status bar will be fuzzier and in general more crappy, because less dots per inch means LOWER resolution not higher!

Please read up here before deciding to do this nonsense. You are making a big trade off by doing this - sacrificing screen quality for stuff on it.

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brantyr:
No, he means unchecked, though neither is perfect.

With it checked you'll get black bars around everything - UI elements won't scale up at all.

With it unchecked apps will scale up. Some handle it very well (e.g. the google apps which follow the guidelines), most good quality apps handle it quite well with perhaps a few misaligned elements here and there but more text, list items etc are displayed on the screen at one time. Some apps will look **** but are still usable. None of the apps I use daily have problems, i'm running a Galaxy S at 210 (or 220 I forget!) right now, 200 makes some things a little too small to read easily.
[EVO 4G Android Development] then0ble:
Status Bar

The only reason I liked the change was the status bar was smaller meaning more icons could fit on it, any way just to change the status bar size?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonwarr.the.incredible:
After initially pushing to my phone via adb to 200, I adjusted to 220 using Root Explorer, both ways worked like a charm! 220 seems like the perfect mix so far...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
Will definitely try this, can't wait! Also, OP what ROM/theme are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
I set my density to 210 (from 240) and OMG what a difference! It just looks so sexy! I'm about to set to 205 to see if it looks any better, because 200 was way too small. Everyone should do it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
As someone already stated, not everyone wants to lower the quality of the graphics just to squeeze more stuff on the screen.

Just to add to what he said. Take a icon for example, I'm not sure what size they use, but lets just assume 75x75 pixels. Using this app/tweak, it will take that 75x75px icon and then shrink it down to, say, 60x60. Not only does it now use less pixels and thus have less detail, but if you're using some odd non-standard DPI, it will push the pixels off of the display's native pixel grid (remember, this can not change the actual DPI of the physical screen, it only changes what the software wants to display). This means that multiple "virtual pixels" will be mushed together on the same physical pixel on the display, causing blurriness. This is even worse on AMOLED screens since they tend to use a funky way of displaying sub pixels.

Another thing to note is that the EVO's GPU is not exactly great. Pushing the software DPI will create even more strain on the GPU. It all depends on how much you're pushing the software DPI but I already see lag on the native DPI when using things like live wallpapers so..
[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
I'm on Cyanogen and there is no quality degradation on my end. With Compatibility Mode off none of my apps have any problems rendering, and my system icons show no blurryness.

Edit: sorry for the attitude. The image looks blurry but regardless the resolution is still the same. Even if the system has to scale the graphics to a different density, you're still seeing the same pixels. The system scales it regardless of what number it is. I understand your point of resizing images and pixels, but I really don't think it matters much. Maybe on different screens, (I used to have a Novatek and I never tried it) you can see a blurriness, but I don't on mine.

I know the GPU on the Evo blows, but on benchmarks and other programs I'm still getting the same frame rates as I did before I changed it. I have an Epson screen now and it's been a breeze. Nothing at all looks blurry to me, and with Compability Mode off my apps properly scale to the screen.

So, I suggest more people try it and see if it blurs your screen or makes you have a better experience. Honestly, I'm never changing it back on Cyanogen; I'm about to try out Ava.

Btw, I'm using 205.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Who insulted you?

By the way, what I said is true regardless of whether you agree or not. The degree of degradation is dependent on how much you push the software DPI. Again, that doesn't change the fact that it's degrading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] detusueno:
your attachment just proved the point. it's super blurry.

here's what's happening to the quality. on the left is your super funked up pixel grid due to the DPI change and here's mine (also running CM6). this is a true to pixel 100% enlargement.

now guess which is which:

do you still believe yours looks good?
[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
Nice post btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
Actually...yeah... I do. Lol. I'm staring at it right now and I see it just fine, so I really don't care.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnycross22:
I installed the app from the market from earlier in this post, now when I power on my phone the HTC EVO white splashscreen comes up then it just goes to a black screen and does nothing, does anyone know what about this app/process might be causing this??

[Desire Themes and Apps] mr.r9:
From the web site:

This week, we were planning to run a closed beta test of Angry Birds Lite for Android. Due to the massive response and demand from the Android community, we have decided to make Angry Birds Lite Beta available for everybody through the Android Market this Friday.

Yay for tomorrow:D

Here's the link: http://www.rovio.com/index.php?mact=Blogs,cntnt01,showentry,0&cntnt01entryid=35&cntnt01returnid=58

I hope it doesn't turn into another DOODLE FAIL. Worst game ever.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tesiox:
Its there now! Installing :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cb8rwh:
Got it and it doesn't run anywhere near as smooth as the iphone version. I will still buy it as it is a great game.

What are everyone else's experiences in regards to performance?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sckc23:
Have only seen ppl playing on iphone but this one to me seems ok in terms of smoothness. Well I suppose its only beta and the dev will fix bugs and issues if lots of ppl complain about it. A great game nonetheless=)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tesiox:
Played the first 4/5 levels and thought the performance was great. No problems what so ever :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Anyone got the APK to up? I can't get on the Market using my work Wi-Fi...
[Desire Themes and Apps] fieryriver:
well i had it on my nokia n900 before. android version is as smooth although the first time i ran it it was laggy i force closed it restarted it and now works perfectly...remember it's just beta version. i've heard from others and in comments it is not working on evo 4g. great that it runs great on desire
[Desire Themes and Apps] cb8rwh:
Yeah perhaps I am being a bit too picky. I'll shut up now!
[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Got it down, started it up and forgot sound comes out - looked a bit sheepish in work!! Will play it later on :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] korokor:
Its available on the market now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Giland:
This is so great ;D Best game ever ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Just had a quick go now, running fine and smooth as the iPhone version IMO
[Desire Themes and Apps] danchappers:
Downloaded it and been playing it, runs super smooth, not seen any lag at all.. the only issues ive found so far is getting stuck on level 8 lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
One of the best games ive played in a long time. Considering its still in beta, im massively impressed and look forward ti the final product :)

installation error on AuraxTSense 7.3

I get installation unsaccessful error on AuraxTSense 7.3 (NextSense) for some reason. This is the only app that gives this error, every other app installs fine.

I tried changing spare parts App2sd option on all available choices but same error occurred. I have ext parttion.

Thank you very much.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
this is one addictive game, made it to level 11 now.

works fine on open desire 4.0.3 :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ik Desire:
Just played trough the game and it works fine. Only problems are the time it takes to close when you quit the game, it freezes the phone a couple of seconds. And the game closes if you get a call (without the 'freeze').

Fun and addictive game, hope there will be more levels.

i watched my friend play it a couple of hours ago.. It seemed to be a great deal of fun and time usage, so it's installing as we speak :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] Nosrulz:
Just tried it out and from what I can tell its identical to the iphone one. (only played on my friends iphone so I don't know the game inside out :P)

I agree SK. Angroid devs seem to neglect the graphics and UI in alot of apps. Its a shame because it makes them so much less appealing even if they do have the features.

Edit: Running fine and smoothly on Pays 2.0
[Desire Themes and Apps] ZiCoN:
Second that
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoemeistah:
Haha, nice, the birds crack me up.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jambu21:
Wish they would come up with more levels.
[Desire Themes and Apps] BphazeD:
Only a beta...will have more levels when officially released...
[Desire Themes and Apps] HellSassa69:
you cant multi task if you are in the game! In fact you can but the game will re-start if you check back and doesnt pick up from its current location!

I deleted it because I ve got no memory left with the official 2.2 app2sd :( I think I have to wait till CM6.1 with app2ext comes out!
[Desire Themes and Apps] RJ200X:
Looks like they added feature too, if you pinch to zoom a level, the view retains when you retry that level instead of like the iphone where it goes back to normal view.
[Desire Themes and Apps] terryhau:
I noticed this too. Every time you come back into the game, it restarts. Real annoying. I'm guessing this happens because it's ported from the iPhone which has no multitasking.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Nosrulz:
Yeah no multitasking is a bummer. Also I received a call while playing the game and it switched to the screen to answer the call, but would not let me interact with the screen so I couldn't answer it. (on the plus side it was work, so no great loss :D)

I like this addition. Very handy.
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
I've not played the game on the iPhone, but I presume this is what it would do on that version - in which case, it's a little too close to the original! :)

Since it is a beta, it would be worthwhile sending feedback to Rovio asking them to save the state of the game when you switch away, so that you can resume a previous game.

[Desire Themes and Apps] david_inuk:
Other than this (and the fact there are no more levels available yet!) this game is perfect!

Somebody should inform the devs that unlike the iPhone, Android can manage to do more than one thing at a time!

This game is really addictive and fun, i can see now why it is that popular on iphone.

Froyo 2.2 - can you install this on your SD and will it work OK ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ronok:
I have official Froyo and it was the first time an app installed automatically to SD. That was kinda new to me (no root or setinstallLocation mod). So: yes you can.
[Desire Themes and Apps] albert_htc:
Thanks :)

Installed and working fine..
[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Finished the beta, need to get 3 stars on all levels tho!!

Waiting the full version, one app/game I'll definitely pay for!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
I'd heard all the talk about Angry Birds, and I wondered what all the fuss was about.

Having now played it, I fully understand! IMHO, this game is the spiritual successor to all those great 8-bit games you used to get on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 back in the 80s.

Simple gameplay and simple graphics, but fiendishly addictive. Rovio will definitely be getting a few £s from my pocket when the full version arrives.

Definitely buying this one as soon as it's available!

Same problems as mentioned in this thread, great game but uninstalled it, because it freezed my phone for minutes after closing.

I can't do level 7 on 3 stars.(the one with all cheese triangles or whatever it is) At times, I get the last, first, and smaller middle pig in one shot. But There are 2 oters under the triangle, and I can;t get them
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ik Desire:
I found that level the hardest too. In the end, hitting the first high-placed stone directly with the first bird killed the first, middle and last pig and collapsed the structure far enough to kill the other pigs with two birds and awarded me 3stars... after many tries. (75360 points)

[Desire Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
Mate, lets get one thing straight here. What you're doing is illegal and is stealing - whether you like it or not. Because of this people ARE going to flame you as the game is likely to cost less than a pound (the iPhone version is 79p). Are you THAT tight as to not support the developers?

Now no one is perfect (although I'm sure some people will beg to differ) but when games as good as this are as cheap as they are there is really no excuse to stealing
