the screen quality on my tp when using webos is better then when using cm7. is there a way to fix it? thanks
Depends on which one you're using. WebOS looked horrid for me.
It's cause the current CM7 port is running a lower res than the Native webOS resolution.

I too felt webOS looked better than CM7. I was using 160 and 140 for LCD density. Then I upped it to 169 and it looks much better to me, also i installed the ICS roboto font and that looks much better than the stock g-bread font. Also for some reason when i went the other way and took LCD up to 169 suddenly I could get a few more apps in the market that seemed to be missing before (I remember early on with my Nook Color the LCD density affected the market as well).
Also there is a market app "hp touchpad wallpaper applier" that lets you use high res wallpaper in CM7 which looks much better.
Won't it simply be because cm7/gingerbread wasn't meant to run on anything bigger than 7"screen?

For lcd density yes. Launcher, no. Just download them from market. Ex: Launcher pro, adw launcher (ex), go launcher (pro), tons more.

Is the display really that dull and not sharp? I'd hope for a step up above pentile, larger size and all.

I think it's very sharp and readable, but that's coming from having used the Nexus One for almost a year and a half.

I'm have an i4 at the moment, and I can't see any pixels on that so on the SGS they are a little noticeable :/
Can anyone tell me what LCD Density actually does please?
is it effective?
Will it make text in the browser sharper?

haha ^^ that made me LOL
on another note, i have tried changing the density by modifying the build.prop with root explorer, the default is set at 240 so i tried 210, made it look so much cleaner but the games have a slight issue with it tried running compatibility mode but no joy so back to 240 for now...
If you want to do it using root explorer
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL BUILD.PROP!!
1. navigate to system/build.prop and open in text editor
2. Make sure ur read write (lil button top right)
3. scroll down and look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
4. change to whatever you want, i chose 210
5. save and exit and reboot

Can you remind me how please :/ I did this the other day but I can't seem to find it now :/
EDIT - Remembered ... I have already done it tho :/
In the end the display will always be WVGA and 4.3 inches so small text will never be as sharp or pixels as invisible as on an iPhone 4, ZTE blade, or other small-screen high-res device.
On the up side Samsung's choice of WVGA probably kept costs reasonable and means all software is compatible, and the screen is still flippin' gorgeous
Screen is beautiful. I'm using the above mentioned font. Can't see why anyone would complain. What r u guys trying to read?

Hey I understand, but was using a motorola atrix the last 2 weeks. And that was a poor excuse of a phone. My fiance has a iphone 4 and my naked blind eye dont see any difference. Its just me, guess I got low standards.
I've been changing the LCD Density of my phone but I can't quite figure out which is the best, im just trying to combat the evil pentile screen, any suggestions?

I run mine at 200 with android overclock and using adw launcher i have edited the grid to get more apps on each screen...
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
So dropping the density works better for you? Thinks look less pixelated when I raise the density, maybe it's just me
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Raising the density is lowering the resolution. Lowering the density is raising the resolution. By dropping to 200 I have basically upped my resolution, so to speak, and my app icons are smaller... I then had to be able to edit the default grid for my apps and widgets to be able to effectively use the increased screen real estate... I am therefore able to have 8 apps across my screens and another 8 down, if I so wished. I do not have 8 down because with ADW Launcher I get home screen rotation back so there is only so much I can put on the screen in portrait that will actually fit in landscape... Check out the screenshots below bro...
I Got My Density At 215, I Tried 200 And It's Just Too Small For Me Cuz When I Try Tapping On A Link Or Anything For That Matter I Had To Be Dead On. It's All A Matter Of Preference To What Ya Like.
I noticed lowering the density screws up navigation. It doesn't follow you on satellite view. Slight deal killer for me.

Really... I haven't noticed that, but then again I haven't had to use the nav in the last few weeks... But I have used the nave with the LCD density change.... I was using LCD density app and not android overclock tho... Maybe that's the difference???

Yeah man, I tried changing the views, and it still wouldn't follow. It just stayed on the same spot. When I switched the density back, all was good...
It sucks too, because my screen looked way sharper IMO. However, I use navigation too much to not have it work as I like...

With ADW Launcher pro... Look for it in the market... It lets you edit how many columns and rows of apps you have on the launcher and in your app drawer!! I couldn't deal with blur so this has helped me get over not having CM....
What LCD density are you using for your Razr? I'm on 220 atm. Default is 240.
Lower density better quality?
Makes the items look smaller so they look more defined somewhat. May throw some apps off. Can change this in your build.prop file but you need root.

Okay. So I'm working with others on getting our devices in tablet mode. I've gotten far enough to hare with you guys. Only some apps are in tablet mode. gapps and su etc.... so basically you must be running CM9 ( haven't flashed AOKP to try it yet) and you CANNOT HAVE NAVIGATION BAR! When I figure out how to get the bottom status bar with ics buttons ill let you all know
Now what you need to do is download LCD Density Modifier ( or root explorer just need access to LCD density)
Change it to anything between 129-160, reboot and viola. You'll have the SEMI-Tablet mode.
This is my first thread. If I'm leaving important info out please let me know. Enjoy your 5in tablet.

A friend if mine noticed that there wasn't a difference between 129 dpi and 128 dpi. I knew on 129 it didn't fc but didn't notice that it worked just as well as 128 I was going to direct you to a thread this guy gave me instructions on how to mod the apex launcher so that when we get the bottom status bar it would look good. He modded it for the nexus but their dpi is set to 192. And I'm not good enough at dev'ing to mod it. So can you take a look and give it a shot?

[EDIT] here's what he told me
jay,
couldn't do it blind anyway, hacking smali was more like trial and error. i sat one night and adb-pushed countless of times to see if changes were reflected or not. you'll be better off grabbing apktool (1-2 pages before you'll find a working version), learning dalvik-opcode basics and just hack it.
what i did was:
1. find everything that contains "density" and hardcode it. you'll be looking out for displaymetrics api's. density is a float, look up the manual and calculate it. make sure you encode it properly, use an IEEE 754 converter. denditydpi is an int which can be either 160, 240 or 320. scaleddensity, same as density.
2. half of the app drawer will be wasted. i had to kill a switch somehere to help it, but i dont find it because i trashed the rewritten smali by accident and my comments are gone. i studied the original launcher2 java code to find it. not so important for now.
3. you'll get the dock back by changing launcher.xml in the res files. take the original one and copy it over the one in the dpi600 folder. port and landscape need different implementations.
4. all the relevant sizes and styles were in dpi600.
im sorry it's such a mess. a real dev would have written down the pieces of code to change but im a newb and that's all that i can offer you.

Well that helps :sarcasm: Tablet mode doesn't trigger just by changing the DPI. The systemui.apk fc's on boot. Unless your on AOKP. I'd use that ROM but it isn't available for the US YP-G70....
