Hmm that's really cool. Am not to sure how to do it though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jpcdeux:
LCD density app didn't work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Used root explorer and worked like a charm. No issues with maps. Using senseginger and the only thing that sucks are the bottom row of apps..the app name is cut in half lol. but looks good!

Not so great on sense rom. Clock hangs up and doesn't fully flip numbers until screen is touched
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jtadak:
There is an app free on the market that works great. Its called LCD Desity Changer. Sorry if this was already covered...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
Just a personal update; I've changed the density to 200 on CyanogenMod RC3 and besides some slight blurriness on the top of the notification pane, everything is displaying perfectly (and in high density gloriousness!). I've tried most of the standard phone functions and facebook / messaging / mail / etc all are working.

This is probably my favorite change to my device (with more positive results than I usually just get flashing a new rom).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mabalito:
I'm currently running CM7.0.0 stable with the density set to 200 and am experiencing this:

Look at the bottom bar, there's a small 1px-wide vertical glitch. It was fine before at least nightly 32.

Anyone else seeing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phoenix79:
I got that too.... Annoying enough to make me go back to stock LCD density
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hay112:
wow really, that little line? then just go back and quit crying
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I'm at 190 and everything is alright except the numeric battery status bar icon on the side of the numbers is tiny.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
i use 190 now, and i dont see any issues with the display on CM7 final.

I did turn on the battery number and i do see that the color indicator is really small. I dont usually use the number though so it doesnt bother me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
I'm running stable @ 200 and don't have that line. I'm using the honeybread theme though, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbush78:
I use 170 but, i've used 200, 190, 180 etc and I see that line from time to time. Try changing to 199 instead of 200.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BoscoTM:
Some people like uniformity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phoenix79:
I have been running stock for a couple weeks for this issue but int he meantime I've started running one of the themes in the market and just tried a density of 200 again and the line is not there. I am now running 7.0 final
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
200 seems to work good for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LagunaCid:
is there any way to know what resolution the phone is comparable to when at 190/200 dpi?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bingley:
Tested this using my Desire (non-Z) and many screenshots. Best/sharpest settings are:

240 (stock), 210, 208, 204, 197, 191, 190

Values in between either are less sharp or distort the notification bar. Hope these are of use to someone else :) I'm using Redux GB rom and looks good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Using something other than 240 on CM7 with the stock Gingerbread launcher, messes up some of the icons in the drawer. At least thats what I notice with my device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I changed the density to 200 via my Rom Control (it's provided in the AOKP rom control in the rom I currently use) and looks pretty nice can adjust apex launcher a bit to fill in any of the gaps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Steven How:
Buy changing the density may cause some apps to malfunction right? Or maybe can't find the app u want in market after changing density :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
And course I'm back at 240, seems certain apps will not show up in Google Play (i.e.: SD versions of HD apps would no longer show... which isn't a big deal) and course some apps like say T-Mobile Wifi Calling would not start up at 200, but would just fine at 240. *shrug* maybe some apps are hard coded for 240.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
When will I learn not to tinker,have changed the density back to 240 in build.prop but the screen will not reset,have tried a hot reboot,normal reboot,cache wipe nothing gets me back to default,any suggestions people?

Cheers in advance

Update seems the text editor was saying one thing but the actual build.prop when pulled from the phone was saying something else:confused:,problem sorted as have changed it back and pushed the file back,

strange......

So my screen is back to 240 but yet there are alot of the sale apps that do seem to be compatible with my phone? and therefore do not show up,Anyone else only seeing a limited amount of sale apps on their phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
this happened to me before when plaing around with dpi, I ended up changing roms anyway after that, but try clearing data/cache for the playstore before you do this. or you could also try flashing gapps over your rom without a wipe (may cause issues depending on rom) or even flash the kernel or rom over without a wipe and see what happens
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Cheers got the dpi issue sorted,seems droid edit free was not saving the changes(will investigate), Only problem now is that a whole bunch of apps are not showing up,I thought this was down the dpi seems not,I am sure before I started messing around I could browse the full range of sale apps on my phone(wiped market data),when I go to the store from my computer it says they are not compatible with my device,DPI is definitely back to default 240,can you browse the full range of sale apps?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
I am now but this was a long time ago and have changed roms altogether since then. the market is real funny/finiky sometimes and I believe there is something apon start up that checks things like do you have internet and what device you have and then is stored to your account, if you go to the playstore from pc it should show the devices linked to your account. sometimes when I change roms it thinks I have a completley diferent phone, my guess is it thinks you have a different device right now. try restoring a recent nandroid if you have one or try flashing gapps without a wipe over current setup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Does this work in ICS?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Yes but be warned it will cause problems with the play store.

Tapatyping
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oVeRdOsE.:
Buy ''LCD modder Pro'', there's and special option for ICS and a fix for the market
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vbaros:
Has anyone tried changing LCD Density on Sense 4.0 ROMS? I tried it and keyboard looked streched and out of screen. Is there a fix for that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
If you change the DPI on Sense ROMS it will look all weird because you are stretching the images i think? The images were made for 480x800 resolutions with 240 dpi :P

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Nope. That would be cool though.

[Click Themes and Apps] rallapag:
Font change

Try Type Fresh apk from following post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6103587

can only use true type fonts (TTF) at the moment

It works very well and pretty easy,

some times it says it can't mount just try again.

If reboot now at the end does nothing (problem on some roms)

just reboot manually

following webpage has lot of ttf fonts

http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html

See attached images on my tattoo two different fonts

All the best

I have got a new Tattoo and i been sufferin for almost 6 hours tryin to figure out how to root the device ...

now since i have rooted it ! as i think ! the Super one click app did that

and said ur device is now rooted

i have no idea how to check if its rooted really

and i need to know how did u change the battery view !
[Click Themes and Apps] rallapag:
May be your phone is not rooted, generally when you apply fonts through type fresh it asks for root permission.

To check your phone is rooted, If you have terminal app launch and type su

if you get # symbol then it is indication for root.

or check following post from 1-click root for Tattoo (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5) thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9171953&postcount=41

If your phone is rooted you can do this through metamorph

Seeing as so much of this forum is devoted to "Help with this problem", I figured I'd get a thread going about what we like about our phones

Mine: Today, at breakfast with friends, a mate and myself were both trying to load a graphics heavy webpage on our phones. We're on the same network and he has an iPhone 4. The Legend loaded the content 40 seconds faster.

Speaking to a friend who gets frustrated with having no flash on his iphone 3GS and now his iphone4, I loaded up another forum I use which has a flash banner at the top and he was jealous :smug smiley required:
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
A lady friend told me the Legend is the sexiest phone she ever saw and I have good taste for buying it. Win? Hell yeah.
[Legend General] dc/dc:
I really like this phone because it has fairly decent battery life, is built solid, looks very classy, fits well in the board room or the VIP room and as a Gmail user it does exactly what I need it to do with regard to managing my digital life.

Admittedly, the battery life will probably not be quite as good when I am roaming in a country with 3G service, but that is only when I'm on holiday, so I'm not terribly worried about it.

I am getting a can´t open serial COM port error when ever I try to flash an eclair ROM (or any rom for that mater) using ODIN. I currently have Froyo installed but want to revert back.

I didn´t back up my efs folder before upgrading :(

My phone is currently stuck on the Galaxy S GT-i9000 loading page. I have no idea how to recover it as it won´t enter recovery mode. It will however enter download mode.

Any advice?

UPDATE: I restarted the PC and ran ODIN in compatibility mode and it finally loaded the PIT file. I was then able to flash a stock 2.1 ROM to the phone. Phew!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willemrt:
restart your computer, start the flashing process again. Usually fixes it for me when this happens.

Also, I'm sure you would find more detailed answers to this problem before in a search :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spmodi:
Hi Guys,

I have done some searching and have not been able to find the answer to my problem. I have a rooted evo and I'm just running a rooted version of the Stock Rom. For some reason my phone will stop receiving texts, sending is fine but at times it will just stop receiving texts from anyone. I am using chompsms and i have made sure that it is set to automatically retrieve messages and all that good stuff. I have also uninstalled my appkiller to make sure its not killing any sms stuff. I first started noticing this issue eary last week, I uninstalled the appkiller last sunday and everything seemed to be fine until tonight. Does anyone know what I could do fix this? I am not against flashing a new rom or new kernel if need be, although id prefer just using the stock stuff. I am also running rom manager, titanium backup and the most recent clockwork recovery. Thanks for any help you guys can give.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
Some where in Themes and Apps i saw a zip file that replaced the evo's sto k messaging app. At the time i was not intrested in it because all it looked to do is theme it black.

I am wondering if it is possible to replace the stock messaging app on evo with handcent. I am using root explorer but can't find the stock app in system/app. All thats there is messageuploader.apk and deleting this just takes the possibility to recieve new text away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
I heard it was done with the G1 and MyTouch, not sure if it will work with sense phones. You could try swapping apk's in a ROM and flashing, thats what I would do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
I was going to attempt this only there is no messaging.apk located in system/app
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
It was mms.apk for the stock Evo messaging app. I am gonna try flashing and post results in a bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
This was about the easiest mod ever.

1 Just install handcent or your choice.

2 I used Root Explorer and deleted mms.apk.

No problems sending or recieving messages yet
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Outstanding! So I just move handcent to the system/app folder and delete mms.apk? Root explorer is the best app ever. Im going to try this too, I never was too fond of the stock sms, but I dont like having multiple apps doing the same thing also, weird things happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
Yes it worked for me, it takes away the stock messaging widget as well. There is a file in system/app named MessageUploader.apk make sure to leave there or you will not be able to recieve text (i thought i was getting ignored).

Do a regular download and install of handcent

Force stop messaging app settings/applications

Use Root Explorer move mms.apk to sd card, getting it out of system folder & allowing you a back up

Reboot to recovery clear cashe

Really? Im pretty sure you can. Considering im rooted right now. I have wifi tether app on my g2 and i overclocked from 800mhz to 1450mhz. It may not be permanent root (root disappears when you reboot phone) but its root nonetheless
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Superthrust:
if the root disappears when you reboot, Does that mean i have to redo it? (im sure thats a yes...)

and if it disappears, will the wifi tether continue to work on the G2 after it has been rebooted? Or should i just stick to PDAnet?

I just want the custom lockscreen/slider icons.. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tubaking182:
you would need a script that re-applied the logos each time the phone rebooted(possible with visionary set to run on boot, but will need to be written perfectly to work)

Am currently using an HTC Trophy and location based services are not working. Maps won't locate me - just perpetually displays "Searching ..." - and no other app can make use of GPS.

The available settings aren't especially granular in WP7 and I don't see any options besides having GPS ON or OFF. Toggling this setting has no effect.

Any ideas?!

Thanks!

UPDATE: It's the o2 SIM. Swapped out SIM with Vodafone and Orange SIMs and GPS works both on those tow networks. I don't understand as the same o2 SIM does GPS just fine in an HD2 and an HD Mini.

did you go outside to test it? i mean here inside my home its also not working. but outside it is ;) Also you can try go in settings locating/position finding and turn it on.
