Hi all
Just got the mini pro. It's brilliant but cause of fab resolution everything especially text is very small and hard to see and read.
Can anyone pls recommend an app that increases text size, maybe icons too.
Or is it possible to decrease the screen resolution?
Thanks

Hi.
If you're a Root User, you could change some values in your build prop related text size.
Otherwise, you could use UOT kitchen and change your font size and your framework's icons.
Please correct me me if i'm wrong, or even if there's a shorter way way to do it.
Bye
Thanks for your reply mate
Im not a developer im afraid. Im happy to root if needed and looking for recommended apps that either increase text size or decrease resolution
Ones known to work well with mini pro

Try an app called "Spare Parts" available on Android Market - there's a free (ad supported) version. It includes an option to adjust font sizes - no rooting or modding required. It's not "global" but it may help with menus and some other items.
I've just tried it with the SK17i - worked fine. Not tested over any length of time so can't say if it is the ideal solution for you.
Thanks very much trying it now!

hi ive just updated my X10 to 2.1 and would like to know if there is any way to increase the size of the text in the message app as it is rediculously small considering its on a 4" screen.
theres an app called lcd density on the market, but that changes everything bigger or smaller!

Don't know about stock messaging but I use handcent sms and you can change font and size.

Is there an app I can use to do this or some settings I can change to make the font size larger? I tried an app called "Root Changer (root user)" didn't really work. Thanks everyone.

Spare parts works great
I have spare parts but it only changes the font size within the app.

I'm also looking for an app like that, i want to make my front smaller
Maybe you could change directly the front with flipfont ?
I installed the Zapf Chancery font from flipfont and thats the reason I'm trying to find something that increases the font size. It's a great font just to small.

I think the only way to do what you are asking is to edit the font through the creation of a font and install it with flipfont. There is a great thread (created by Ritalin) with all the info how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345 - there may be one already created that's perfect for you.
It's a very easy process. It is a bit time consuming changing the font size if you don't get it right the first time cause you have to do it over and over till you get the size right.
Thanks for the thread, I appreciate it.

Lol, he needs a little more direction than that...
There is an app in the market called "Desktop Visualizer", download it. It will allows you to create widgets on your home screen that are completely adjustable (you pick the image, the application it pulls up, and the name below it). If you want to use text icons I suggest you download some packs which can be found on:
www.deviantart.com
www.iconfinder.com
OR
You can head over to my theme thread to replicate my themes in order to gain some experience.

Is there an easy way to change the stock font size to a smaller one?
I am not talking about changing LCD density, I don't want all the apps and widgets messed up.

Try the font size option in Spare Parts basic settings

Or try font changer from the market and change your font to alex. I hate these massive fonts too.

Spare parts just works on OG Droid and within app itself. But thanks for idea.
And I would like to know if or more where it sets it in the code. I changed a .ttf on PC swapped it in system fonts folder and created a custom rom and it still came in the same size so must be code setting it to default size.

Or you can change your screen density. But everything goes smaller. Depends on how much you put it.
Screen density normal is 240
Smallest is 190 (still readable)
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.
