does anyone know HD games that can be run using ICS ROM, I tried with apk from SAMSUNG Galaxy 2 10.1 ( same resolution 1280x800 ) but not work..
thanks for your help
Have you tried it in "high resolution" mode?
Basically "high resolution" mode lies to the OS and tells it the DPI is lower. It has nothing to do with resolution at all in fact. I believe it gets set to 160 DPI, which corresponds to:
Diagonal dots = sqrt(1280^2+800^2) = 1509
1509 dots / (160 dots per inch) = 9.43 inches.
That's why everything ends up smaller - the OS is rendering as if you have a 9.4" tablet but it's squeezed into our 7" screen. But on the upside it activates the tablet interface of most apps. In regular mode it gives an honest density of 213 DPI but for whatever reason many apps interpret this as a cue to go into "big phone" mode rather than tablet.
Also I noticed that apps which don't fill the screen properly (bad developer! bad!) often don't show the full screen stretch option in regular mode, but it's offered in high-res mode.
I tried Asphalt 6 hd... trolollolloooo
But on my Nexus S, its much better than Mediapad. Or maybe on tablet is strange yet.

I really wish to play Modern Combat 3 in my mediapad..

I have a Dell Streak 5, but I bought a Galaxy S II last night. I realize the screen is a bit smaller, but I find the resolution or density extremely poor...I like a lot more on my screen, and it seems everything is too large. It's a show stopper for me. Is there anything I can do to change this before I return back to the Streak?
There isn't really a viable software fix for this, so just return the phone and get a Galaxy Note (1280 x 720 at 280 something PPI, 5.3inch screen).
1. Get your device rooted
2. Download "LCD Resolution" from Market.
The lower the number, the higher the resolution.
NOTE: Apps may not be fully optimized for this kind of resolution such as Phone, where the keypad is smaller than the screen. Market works with this DPI modification.
Also click on "Always Set On Boot" in the app so that it would automatically adjust your desired Density at boot.
This tutorial is on how to lower the resolution of your Dell Venue 8 7840 or pretty much any Android device. You might be asking yourself why would anyone want to change the beautiful 1600x2560 resolution to something 1/4th in quality? The simple answer is because it runs a heck of a lot faster as there isn't as many pixels to push around. The trade-off is that things are fuzzier but that's just the way it is. There are minor glitches here and there with apps that don't behave quite right since they base their scaling off of physical dimensions instead of configured dimensions. In my experience the apps that behave poorly are a very small handful so if you are interested let's get to it.
As always you do this at your own risk I take no responsibility for anything that goes wrong. This is even more critical with the Dell 7840 since you can't install a recovery and instead have to rely on a tethered recovery which takes more time and headaches.
1) Get root for your device (all of the cool things start with root access).
2) Install a terminal emulator such as "Terminal Emulator" or "Termux" from the Play Store
3) Start the terminal program
4) Type "su" and press enter. NOTE: You will need to grant your terminal emulator root access after you press enter.
5) Type "wm size" and press enter. You will see the default resolution of 1600x2560 displayed.
6) Type "wm size 800x1280" and press enter. Honestly, you can try other resolutions however you should try to keep to logical evenly divisible numbers. Ie. if you typed "1080x1920" it would work but be fuzzy since it is 67.5% the size of 1600 horizontally.
7) After you press enter above the screen will become quite large. Don't fret!
8) Type "wm density 160" and press enter. This is half of the 320 DPI that is default for our Dell Venue 8 7840 and should now look normal again except for the navigation buttons and such. Still don't fret!
9) Press the round home button to return to your desktop. You will be shocked with what you see. Again, don't fret!
10) Press and hold the power button and select "Restart". And of course one more prompt...
Upon rebooting you should see what looks like your normal desktop. If you had a custom photo selected as your backdrop it may be 1/4th the normal size but can be fixed by picking another image. As a test, I have included two images that show a "seascape benchmark" at 1600x2560 and again at 800x1280. The higher resolution received 12.4 frames per second playback while the lower resolution returned 33.6. While not four times the speed increase it is a sizable 2.71 times faster. Other benchmarks echo similar results.
I'm interested in what other people are seeing or different resolutions tried. Just be careful before you press the "enter" button because you could accidentally set some insanely low or high number and be unable to fix the problem. Rebooting wont help because this is persistent. As for me, I found that switching to 1200x1920 resolution (density of 290) a more fitting setting and a compromise between 1600x2560 and 800x1280.
If you want to reset the resolution and the DPI simply type from your terminal emulator:
1) "su" and press enter
2) "wm density reset" and press enter
3) "wm size reset" and press enter
What about having it run at 3/4 resolution of 2560x1600?

Oooh, I just tried it and it looks good to me. The resolution is 1920x1200 at 3/4th the default resolution and leaving the density at 320. I might lower the density to 300 or some number but will experiment. With the same seascape benchmark v1.1 I am getting 18.2 as the average frames per second. It's better than 12.4 FPS at full default resolution.
Density of 290 seems to work well when the resolution is set to 1920x1200.
Good suggestion.
Haha no thank you for your help with the res changes and such. How did 300 look?

I changed it to 1920x1200. Looks good. Runs a bit quicker too. I wonder how this affects the battery.

I'm loving running at 1920x1200 the tablet is much snappier and the resolution clarity is minimally less. I settled on density of 290 for mine.
The weird thing is that benchmarks such as AnTuTu 3D visually run much smoother however I get a lower benchmark result. Really weird. but it's what you see that counts in the end.
Just Perfect
Your instructions are clear, concise, and just perfect. The resolution has been way too high, and it has been quite difficult to click the navigation buttons. Using your instructions has helped me greatly!
Hi.
Just tried playing with RemixOS on a media center pc that I have attached to my TV. At the moment this pc is running a regular linux distro, but I thought it could be interesting to see how Android would work for this purpose. Problem is that my TV is an older 1080p 46" that suffers from an old issue where a large part of the screen is placed behind the massive border on the frame. As such, when running at highest resolution, I loose parts of the screen on each side, top and bottom. I found that running 1366x768 fixes this issue.
RemixOS of cause, is running at 1920x1080 by default, just like any other OS that I have had attached. Difference is that I have no way to change this. I tried changing DPI via kernel boot arguments, but this did not work as it should. The calculations for DPI
Code:
sqrt(1366^2 + 768^2)/46
states that the DPI should be set at 35. But doing so makes everything 100 times smaller on the screen.
How can I get this TV working with RemixOS?
With mate 10 lite's resolution being 1080x2160 (18:9) instead of the traditional 1080x1920 (16:9), I find that some apps (particularly clash of clans) are too blurry with standard settings applied. For some apps the phone offers the "full screen display" option, which is basically only for apps in vertical position. Due to clash of clans being displayed in portrait mode, it's really blurry up until the moment I change the DPI settings under developer options. Standard is 432 and I change it to 502. But everything becomes pretty small on the phone at that point and after the reboot, it will jump back to 432 dp. Does anyone have another solution for this non-traditional resolution size?
You could try using the adb commands in this post. I used to use it to force the resolution I wanted on my Z5premium
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/root-4k-screen-resolution-t3631413
I have also noticed like you that after a restart the changes in developer options reset to default. It's pretty annoying and I can't find the any setting in build.prop to try make it permanent. It's not in the list as far as I can see.
Hi all, I just upgraded from the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Tab. All in all it is a wonderful tablet but it also shows that the Xperia still remains very good in 2020 despite its age!
That said, I noticed a loss of resolution on some apps with the Galaxy.
Now I know that these two tablets have the same resolution (2560x1600) but a different screen size. As the Galaxy screen is larger, its ppi is smaller (287 ppi vs. 299 for the Sony). But I have the feeling that some applications behave on the Galaxy as if they were on a phone.
The Catan application for example has a tablet controls behavior on Xperia, as well as a very fine and pleasant resolution, where the same app on Samsung has a ridiculous resolution and phone controls (I put the app on my phone to compare and the controls are the same). See screenshots.
Now, I tried to play with the minimum width in the developer settings, which affected the menus, but it doesn't work in games.
Do you know how to solve this problem or if there is a trick to make the applications "believe" that they launch on a tablet and not on a phone?
You can try these options:
1 - In the Game Booster settings see if resolution is not 100%
2 - In the Display settings set Screen zoom to minimum
3 - In Developer options try to increase the Minimum width
