Hello,
i didn't find any topic regarding the sharpeness of the Optimus One, so i created a new one. Well, i bought this phone for my wife and i'am really suprised about the great quality of this phone. I use myself a Galaxy S and so i'am a little bit spoiled regarding the display. But i have already seen that the sharpness could be better with a 480x320 resolution (e.g. Sony Ericsson X8). The X8 has a better sharpness related to the small texts in the settings menu. So, is there a possiblity to get a better sharpness on the Optimus One?
Sorry to say but you cannot do much.
You can only change system font with something smoother. That's the only thing you can do.
You can't change anything. X8 text looks "sharper" just because of a smaller screen (0,2inch).
I agree with heino81.
Screen quality is rather poor.
The screen of the Galaxy i7500 (oled) was in another league.
It is poor but you can enjoy the speed of the phone + it never runs out of ram !
I miss indeed the i7500's OLED screen. It was excelent, but it was only a nice looking phone, the lack of ram kept it out.

Do you have any link regarding good system fonts?
There are some here on the forum. I will post the link when I get home.

Thanks, I downloaded it (edit - ubuntu 10.10) and it's quite a bit better than the standard font.
However, there are still some anti-aliasing problems (notably with bigger black letters on a white background), which are probably due to the 256k colors of the screen (the right gradations of grey may not be addressable or something like that)
about AA
I personally don't understand the propagation of antialiasing on a low resolution device. It makes the font blurry and causes lots of small input lags when you zoom or scroll. Even on my desktop computer when I first tried windows vista a few years ago, the first thing I did was turning the font smoothing off. Too bad there's no choice for that here.
As far as the sharpness of texts, no, there's really nothing we can do about it. The screen they put in the O1 was not designed to display a lot of pixels, unfortunately.
On my boyfriend's O1, I find that we can't use certain widgets because they look just horrible on his screen (clockr, D3 clock and some other minimalistic widgets that display lines and numbers/letters only).
I suppose it's unfair to the O1 because we're comparing it against high res phones (im using an x10), but LG could've given it a better screen cos it kinda ruins the experience.
Just got my Atrix yesterday and the screen looks grainy as hell is this something related with the qhd display or is it a hardware issue?Everything looks like little squares it doesn't look anything like the screen on my MT4G.
Anyone had this before.Ur input will be greatly appreciated.
Yes the pentile qHD looks sometimes grainy. You become used to it. I had a MT4G before too and was first a bit disappointed but now I like the display and its high resolution.

Nope, and it doesn't look like "DOS" either...
Thank you guys.I guess I will get used to It.So far loving the device.
Unfortunately you need to go over 300ppi, so you should buy a iphone4 as that the only one, even sensation/pyramid isn't that good at 256ppi.
Reason is, that's all the human eye can take.

Post some screen shots for us to interpret how big an issue it is important think you would need to go get it replaced as others are fine and not able to see the screen to be grainy
The Pentile LCD is the real reason for the graininess, not it's dpi. It has 1/3 less subpixels than displays of the same resolution.
Me Attix luks beta dan SGS screin loked.

Atrix has 240 ppi and is a different 1/4 HD screen to other phones.

yeah.. how come the "high resolution" looks crappy compared to the same qHD on the sensation? (not talking about colors).
not have atrix so far , the fact is most keepers i know feel the grainy,
Hi there.
Wondering if it's just me, but do most wallpapers seem to look really bad? I just put some hi res wallpapers I use on my laptop on my phone, but they all look terrible when set and don't get why. I have very few wallpapers that actually look good on my phone.
edit: Thinking about it, will they only look good if they're the same resolution size as my screen?
If you are using gallery to set them , and your pictures are high res , gallery most likely is messing up. Try setting wallpaper with "QuickPic" from maket and let us know if its better.
I9100 screen resolution is 480*800, so a wallpaper at that resolution will certainly look better. But as it has 8 homescreens you can also use 960*800 wallpaper, which will be a scrollable one, besides you can put a HD wallpaper too, you just have resize it by dragging the orange lines to the corners perfectly.
Regards.
You must mean the color banding you see. The SGS2's stock firmware has a 16-bit screen driver. The guys from Cyanogen hinted at making it 32-bit, making the screen look beautiful, but it'll take a long while.
Somewhere I think Samsung downclocked everything there is on the SGS2. Because now it all of a sudden charges faster than before, it's faster. And I wouldn't look up if they overclocked it to 1.5 ghz. I bet they have something up their sleeves for the 16-bit screen.
When I read what I just typed, I actually think that won't happen.. Mehh
Check it out! Just thought I'd let everyone know
isnt optimized for our phones display screen unfortunately.
Works fine but it doesnt support qHD so it does not fill the screen...

It does if you download spare parts and uncheck compatibility mode. Or at least I believe it should. Mine fills the screen and I have compatibility mode disabled through LCD Density Changer
rwith a density of 275 it works. use lcd density changer or edit your build prop.
275? Man. I imagine that in itself is massive. Just out of curiousity, Nottach what density do you use anyways? I have been on 200 for a couple weeks and I just switched back to 240 (default) I think for me, 220 is the sweet spot.
i use 240. i was just playing with it this morning when i first dled gh5. found 275 worked perfectly..
Hi,
On some preview for the Atrix I read that 2.75 was going to be the default pixel density, so it makes sense that setting it to that would be OK.
Cheers!
[Q]How does TW hold up at higher LCD Density?
any notifications pane or dialer issues?
You mean lower?

Yeah, I meant lower. It looks like it borks it. I'm stuck at samsung boot screen.

i couldnt get LCD Density Modder to apply a new density, crashes when trying to save it
Yeah I heard of someone using a lower density that got it to boot but it looked ugly with some settings I believe

used rom toolbox. set it for 220. stuck at samsung boot screen.
cleared cache
still stuck.
re-flashing the root-rom fixes it.
all setting and data intact.
Anyone succeed with changing ppi yet? Here we are, screen the size of a planet... and the email size shows what... 12 characters across??? Duh...
So - it's driving me nuts after running slimics on my SGS at 182ppi and I'm sure stock sgs3 is in the 240 range like most others seem to be.... but the LCD modder pro that I bought isn't good with ICS roms and wasn't sure if someone has already changed their build.prop for a better ppi/dpi (never get those straight...)?

dots per inch is something that is normally discussed with printers, scanners, etc.
pixels per inch is something that is discussed with displays

Thanks for that - just seems counter-intuitive for some reason that when you lower the pixels per inch that your display gets smaller. I'd love to get a better ppi for the phone though, lots more use could be made out of that football field sized screen.
This phone does not deal too well with lower ppi settings. Used LCD Density Changer and got stuck at boot. Had to restore to CWM backup and tried again with different settings to no avail.
Used LCD Resolution to try lower resolutions without the reboot effect and it looks like crap. I could not get past the bloated numbers on my pin lock, let alone look at the monstrosity for the icons on the screen. My HTC EVO (+ dialer fix) does 161 without any issues and makes such good use of the smaller screen.
Was hoping to get something better with the larger screen in the S3. Hoping that someone finds the trick to this phone!
The one poster above used from toolbox, which is what I saw as a recommendation for ICS roms but looks like it failed for him.

I used Rom Toolbox to change the LCD res on the same day I rooted. I went from 320 to the 200 I was on my SR, then to 220, to 260 and increasing back up as I thought it was way too small. At some point I couldn't get back to 320 anymore as the max on the slider is the current res. So I had to reflash the rooted img to reset it back.
I'm a little confused here. LCD panels should almost always be left at their native resolution. Why are we trying to adjust the pixels?

This isn't adjusting the screen resolution, it's changing the reported DPI so apps draw their stuff smaller to fit on the "lower resolution" screen. The actual display resolution never changes.
The reason the lower DPI settings cause an increase in perceived screen space is because all the apps (system or otherwise) believe the display to be of a lower density, so they draw smaller text/buttons/images/etc to fit on (what they think is) a smaller screen. The display is still being driven at its native 1280x720.
