I May Going to read about coding, but thats fir sure a bit far away,
but is this possible
Buy a iPhone
Joke ...
i think the "finder" is a great file / app / settings manager, but on a device with a
resolution of 320x480 pixel only it is not very usable as the statusbar too - for this screen resolution
you need a pen to activate small strings like in the left navigation bar in the "finder"-window

I know our device is considered a mid range device and that one of the main reasons we can't port other roms is due to the lack of an hd screen. What if we were to take the screen density changer from the android apps forum and incorperate that with say the evo or galaxy rom? It would allow us to use these roms without having to resize every image. I'm just thinking out loud. I pm'd CR about it hoping he could work on it, but haven't had a response back yet. Let me know.

I'm not entirely sure its impossible. Can we figure out what rez the pixel density changer can get us to? If it can get us to an hdpi rez ill give it a shot.

ignore my last post. Not thinking this is possible. The pixel density doesn't affect the device resolution from what I can tell. See attached screenshot. Things look smaller (appears to have higher res) however, screenshot is still the same stock res. I'll change some more build prop settings to see if i can get some different or better results. Fyi this is pixel density set @ 130.
EDIT: It does make angry birds lite fit better on the screen, gonna play with some other settings in the build prop and some hdpi apps and see if I can make something happen for you guys.
Good stuff. I know it won't change anything about the resolution, but it allows the device to mock a higher resolution on the screen. Just seems like we should be able to view bigger images on the screen. I'm gonna take an image with the mts's resolution and the same image but with the galaxy's resolution and see if they display full screen in their respective settings in the density changer. Should be a good test.
Edit: Just remembered, the netbooks running android only display icons 4 wide from the factory. Your screenshot reminded me of that. If those screens which are higher res than ours look the same as ours (the icons are bigger only because the screen is bigger) then in theory this should work.
Edit 2: Just for ****s and giggles I read through the comments on the market for lcd density changer. On the hdpi devices people are complaining about certain widgets not scaling well, but the mdpi devices are only having issues when scaling to funky non-standard resolutions... just wanted to post another reason why with a little hackage, this should work.

I'm working on finalizing my DPI changer app. It should be possible because the Android specs states that pixels = density * ( dpi / 160 ) or something like that (I don't have the page pulled up right now). My program is 90% complete... the logistics are done, but it just has an error wsaving, but it's due to programmer error most likely.
So, for example to scale an image from HDPI to MDPI you take the X resolution and multiply it times 0.75 and let the image program lock the aspect ratio (e.g. don't specify the Y resolution). MDPI to HDPI is (obviously) multiplied by 1.25.
Hope that helps.

THanks for the info
Anyone know where/how an apk determines its going to render in mdpi v hdpi? My guess is the build.prop, but It doesn't appear to gather that info from the pixel density. (rom manager won't cover the entire screen when lcd density is set to 130 so i'm thinking its sensing mdpi some other way) Any help would be appreciated

You may want to change the thread name to something like "THINKTANK: MDPI To HDPI Port via Pixel Desnity"
That way people will have a better idea what the thread is about
Changed. Also, I wasnt able to test anything last night as it got pretty late, but I have tonight and all day off tomorrow to tinker around with things.
The problem is that HDPI devices don't have MDPI drawables, so every image in every app (and then some) have to be scaled down.
I have a program on my computer called image resizer, that let's me right click on the pic in file explorer and click resize photo, the select 320x480 and it rezises it for you.

What version you using? 2.1?
It keeps aspect ratio so sometimes it doesn't resize perfectly. ie when I try to resize boot screens it converts to 296x480 instead.
That would be the purpose of the density changer. No need to resize any images. Just load the changer and it visualizes a higher resolution on the screen....

Wouldn't that cost alot of CPU power to dynamically resize the images?
I've never used the density changer so I wouldn't know.
Ok, after chattin with IB, he provided a little insight on how the density changer works.
I just got the touchwiz ui to load no problem on the slide by changing the density to an HDPI equivalent. It's still a little "off". But im gonna keep tweaking it.
Ok, so I've been able to get pretty much anything made for the n1 to run properly on the slide. Only thing i've had issues with are when loading the touchwiz ui, it is all pushed to the left side of the screen. If I can force tw to use 5 columns it would fill the screen and we'd have an almost full port of the tw launcher.

Sorry to triple post, but it wouldnt use any extra cpu cycles... All the res changer does is change the value in the build.prop.

But its still displaying an HDPI image, just scaled down?
Well I installed Density Changer from the market, but it won't do any thing, it says it works nut when I reboot my phone nothing is any different, and its still at the default res, any idea on why this is????

Anybody knows the answer for this? I downloaded some 1024 x 600 (landscape) wallpapers and they are too big for the screen. Any help will be appreciated.
that's right ... 1024x600
You're forgetting the 48 pixel honeycomb bar
1024x552
ok guys....but how come all of the 1024 x 600 pictures I downloaded are bigger than the screen? when I set them as wallpapers they all appear oversized by like half an inch or more???
wow 1024 x 552! where is one to find scrimmages in that resolution? I swear that honeycomb bar sucks!
well...all I know is that I have tried SEVERAL wallpaper changer apps that have many aspect ratio settings......and also I have set the wallpaper using the tablets native menu and STILL never shows the 1024 x 600 (or 1200 x 552) pictures in landscape correctly. they always show outside the "borders" of the screen by almost an inch. images appear distorted or not cropped correctly.
I have the same sort of problem, no wallpaper changer apps seem to correctly set wallpaper, the edges are always cut off.
We need a good wallpaper app. It shouldn't be hard, either fit the image width or height and let the user choose the color of the bars on the top or sides. Allow tiling small images too. Stretch to fit would be a good option as well.

AT LEAST this confirms I am not crazy. Thank you. The good thing is that I found out the ACTUAL screen size in pixels which is 576x312. That is NOT counting the black task bar. Any doubters just open any image editor and make an image of that size and compare it to the actual screen size w/o task bar.

No, the screen is not 576x312. That few pixels would look like crap on a 7" tablet.
If you take a screenshot (hold power button then tap Home) it comes out to 1024x600 pixels. It's just for some reason apps don't seem to realize this. Even HTCs own Live Wallpaper "Slide show" doesn't do it right. Maybe the OS is reporting the wrong size? A config file wrong somewhere?
The correct size is 1536x1024. HTCs wallpapers crop and scrol correctly and that's their Res.

Hello,
I am currently designing an app for Android. I designed everything in Photoshop and eyported all layers. Our app Is currently in alpha, but I can already see that all colors don't look like on my pc. How can I setup photoshop that the colors on my pc will look like on my device.
Possible?
Regards,
Anil.

Not sure...but the color on the device will change slightly with every device...for various reasons....a few big factors being type of screen (LCD vs Super AMOLED), on board GPU, amount of colors the device can produce...etc
This is just an idea...not sure if its even possible...but find out your device screen specs...like type of LCD or S AMOLED, resolution, amount is colors produced...contrast levels...etc, then try and tweak the display settings on your PC to match that

Hey community,
i own a Sony z3c running cm12 .
Problem is that there is a crack in the screen in the upper left end making the first 80px from the top inaccessible via Touchscreen. Is there any possibility to run the device with a custom resolution which displays the GUI with an offset of 80px from the top? Currently i am unable to access the statusbar, which is a big downer.
Hope you guys have an idea.
Cheers

You can change the DPI and resolution on some phones, but it will still display in full screen, so that won't help you. What you can do is use an app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.friedflow.statusbarexpander
I use Pie controls and have this set up to expand my notifications that way as I have the Nexus 6 and although I CAN reach the top, it's much easier just to trigger it with a mod so I don't have to adjust my hand so much and have less potential to drop it.
i know that there are apps to pull down the statusbar via button but with that i still have problems with other fullscreen apps. Also dropping the DPI to a level i could access the statusbar the phone would became nearly unusable...
Lowering the DPI doesn't make the screen shrink in that manner. I'm afraid you're kinda out of luck without replacing the screen.
okay, i actually found what i was looking for.
wm overscan {LEFT,TOP,BOTTOM,RIGHT} offers exactly the functionality i was looking for
Code:
wm overscan 0,80,00
gives the manageable GUI an offset of 80px from the top... everything working fine now.
Interesting find. Thanks for sharing. Glad all is well now.
Thinking of getting a moto Z. My biggest concern is the dpi on the screen. From what i saw, the default dpi looks pretty ugly on the screen. Even my 5.2" Dtek50 has a much nicer layout of apps and websites with a dpi of 441. How easy is it to change the dpi so that its more or less in line with Dtek50 or google pixel?
Also how good is the camera? Main issue with my dtek50 is that the camera sucks..
You can change DPI with a launcher like Nova. For Apps, I'd start by rooting and removing the on screen buttons to free up screen space. Replace it with a pie app, where you drag from the bottom to left/center/right to use those keys.

I dont want to root yet. My basic concern is due to the default dpi if i open up a website in chrome what is shown in one row is a lot less than a smaller google pixel or my dtek50. For example a website paragraph which is shown in 3 lines for me shows in 4 or 5 lines in moto Z. This is due to
o the dpi setting. I read we can change this without having to root??

Yup, seems you can change the DPI from developer options in Android 7.0 (no root needed)

It can be done by adb on MM too (without root...). There is a thread somewhere...
