Hey guys, I have an issue with the app scaling on my atrix. The apps work fine but some apps such as weather eye and a few others.. They don't take up the whole screen, only half of it. Their scaling is all messed up... Their size is smaller than the screen size... I hope I'm making sense... I did some reading and found out that its because of the screens resolution. Is that true? And if it is then is there a way to fix it somehow. Thank you for all your help...

Some apps do not support qhd. If development is active however, try sending off an email to the dev, might be surprised to see a fix!

Download spare parts and disable compatibility mode.
Problem solved
cheers
and I will confirm that this does indeed work with Weathereye.

Seemed to make my touchscreen better.
Im sorry I should have been more clear after awaking the device the 1st and usually the second swipe or touch doesn't register ...it kind of gets annoying

You might try using widgetlocker, though that is a paid app. It allows you to customize your lock sceen with different unlock themes and widgets. I've never had an issue with it registering my unlock after wake.
I found the problem ...fancy widget when enabling weather animation the touch screen lags for a second or two works good now

***USE AT YOUR OWN RISK***
Do not use with any other ROM besides neobuddy89's ICS Passion Version 10.6
This mod adds the onscreen software buttons for neobuddy89's ICS Passion ROM version 10.6 found here
This is based on evilisto's guide found here
What this Mod Does:
Adds onscreen buttons like you would normally find on phones and tablets which have no physical buttons.
This mod adds home, back and recent app buttons at the bottom of the screen (or on the right side in landscape mode)
Why would you want this?
1. because you can.
2. ever been in low light conditions, using your screen filter app to dim your screen nice and comfortably low when BAM your blinded because you hit the back button?
3. it looks neat.
Instructions:
1. backup everything in case you need to revert.
2. its a good idea to make a backup of your current framework-res.apk (found in system/framework)
3. disable your lockscreen (this is a current bug I hope to fix soon)
4. download the attached framework-res.apk
5. either use adb or a root file browser to replace the current framework-res.apk with the new one.
6. reboot (if you've done this through a file browser on the phone it will likely do this by itself)
6. enjoy
Current Known Issues:
1. The lockscreen becomes extra large and the locking mechanism is displayed slightly off screen. (you can still use it but it is very difficult to get the lock to catch)
2. the settings menu looks different, some of the text is not formatted correctly.
3. the keyboard overlaps slightly. (it is still usable but you might hit a soft button occasionally when going for the space bar)
4. this appears to take away the additional items on the reboot menu.
5. more of a downside than an actual bug and its likely implied but this takes up an extra little bit of your screen.
6. It made me re-sign in to google I cant say this will happen to everyone.
7. probably quite a few more bugs I haven't found yet.
Please feel free to let me know of any additional bugs you find.
Special thanks to Neobuddy for an awesome ROM
and of course to evilisto for the Idea.

Would use if it didn't create any of these problems but will be watching for progress

I am 100% sure if you changed the screen resolution to something else ALL of those issues would be solved.

Changing the screen density would work but it also causes some app compatibility issues.
Mostly small issues like the apps not filling the screen.
But I am hoping to find a workaround that does not require this.
Of course if your already changing screen density then this shouldn't be a problem for you anyways
I'll play around with it and update the op with the correct density for those who want to go that route for now.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Change density + market enabler = problem solved??
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
The market actually works it just makes you sign back in once after installing the mod.
And I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't just a fluke.
I've been playing with LCD density changer from the market and it doesn't seem to be changing the home screen for me randomly.
It does make the keyboard a bit smaller but pushes it to the left.
I'm still playing with it though.
Hopefully I'll find a good setting
Does anyone use a density changer on ics?
If so which app do you use?

Yeah I don't want to just flash this and be like ehhhh and then revert it... I want to be able to have a switch to turn it on and off, that'd be great, but its a bit hard to implement i would guess.
I'm still working on it but progress is slow during the week because of work. And my sister is getting married this weekend.
I expect to work on it a lot more next weekend. Although with any luck I'll get something working sooner.
Basically I've found that enabling the soft buttons seems to enable all tablet oriented options even when they are specifically set to off.
I'm currently trying to find a workaround for that.
I did find a couple other fun but mildly pointless options as well like allowing the lock screen to rotate.
Or disabling the screen turning on when plugging or unplugging the phone.
But I'll play with those a bit after I get the soft buttons fully working.

I think I found it.
When I recompile the apk its adding some stuff that I didn't tell it too.
Once I can figure out why, I think this will solve a good 90% of the bugs.
More to come soon..

Don't have a market link for it, but this is by far the most unique launcher I ever used. Its styled after magazines and you can change just about everything. It even has page turning transition effects. A go launcher replacement in my opinion. Go check it out Lord willing

gave it a shot. I like the concept -- but its not for me.
very fast and smooth on my CM7 atrix though.
Definitely interesting.
After emailing the dev, found its closed source though. Personally not fond of using an app with so many permissions without access to source (same story with GO apps)
ADW is still for me, but thanks for sharing.

Wow really tempted to make it a keeper!

Really great Launcher, thanks for the tip... this is my new fav.

I came across after a post somewhere here, and it is a ripper. It gives massively more customisation than anything I've seen to date. Effectively you can even set things almost to the pixel, and set every attribute of it. I say things, because you can add may things.
Now that I have freed myself from app launching woes in each launcher by using a combination of WaveLauncher and FolderOrganizer, I can swap launchers at will. I no longer need to mess with app groups in each one, and can customise widgets alone. This one will be one of my all-time faves, I can tell.
I look forward to it progressing. I already have a few suggestions!
I haven't tried this launcher yet, but I also have use both wave/folders together. I find it much more efficient Anne completely frees up my screens.

Thanks for the recommendation! I am looking for a simple yet elegant launcher and this fits well to what i wanted!
I was wondering if any roms have fixed the bug where the HTC app is stuck on large font size no matter how you set it. This is really starting to bug me and would love to find a Rom with it fixed.

Pinch to zoom in and out changes your font size for messaging and email will keep it small or larger depending on where you leave it at.
This isn't working. I can only pinch to zoom out so far, which is equivalent to large font size, even though I have the thing set to small.
Doesn't sound right, if rooted ask the developer, if stock you should probably return for exchange as nobody seems to have the same issue. Sorry

Common issue, even on stock. Theres a thread on it here (no fix yet though).

Interesting.. I had a coworker who had the same issue with his new EVO, I resolved his the same way, by adjusting the 'pinch' zoom and confirming the global settings. We did a soft reset on his due to other issues but it stuck with the desired font size. This was stock with native email and messaging apps etc. We rooted and installed Fresh 1.0 and replaced native email with Enhanced Email which is what I am running now and the font sizes remained in that app as well. I didn't realize there were known issues (sorry to OP). Definitely some differences somewhere it seems.

Nice app called Display Brightness. Posting this so people will stop starting threads asking how they can do this on ICS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
i'd thank ya but ya had to be a wise guy about it.
tx --- art.
thanks i like the app !
After trying this app today i can readily say it's terrible compared to the stock feature in GB.

I like it enough to put it on all my phones. I got bettter battery life because I could easily manage the screen brightness.
People if you use a free app think about making a donation. The link is on the settings.

If you actually take the time to configure it the app is very nice. For example, set location to top, make bar wide, make fully transparent...and it operates very much like the stock with more features.
work great
