Launcher 7 720p - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I have an HTC Rezound which has a 720p display. I love the screen and love Launcher 7, but noticed that the tiles appear "smaller" than they did on my other phones. I assume this is because of the resolution. Does anyone know of a way to blow up the icons?

Wildfire Wallpaper Resolution

Hey, does anyone know what the optimum resolution for a Wildfire wallpaper would be? I'm going by the assumption that users will have HTC Sense enabled and will have 7 screens to scroll through.
It doesn't matters. When you choose a wallpaper to apply you can crop it to fit Just drag the frames and the selection will be enlarge

Yeah I know that works, I just wondered if there was a resolution in which the picture didn't need cropping or anything.
480x320 is the resolution for wallpaper,with this resolution you cover 7 screens of htc sense.

Works like a charm, thanks dude
Use Wallpaper Set & Save when applying a bakground image, it will give you the best quality rather than the stock method that somehow lowers the image quality.

[Q] PPI resolution for Icon Panels?

Got a Q for all of you themers/modders/icon artists out there. I wanted to make a few WP7-esque panels (1x4, 4x1, etc...) and managed to find the resolutions posted for each panel.
My question was (I'm using GiMP for OSX) is there a recommended setting for the ppi to ensure that the image/panel comes out sharp on our SAMOLED screens? I believe the default is somewhere around 72 ppi.
Many thanks!

[Q] What size are wallpapers?

I'd like to make some custom wallpapers that will be compatible with every Android phone, can someone tell me what size they should be? Thanks.
That depends. Clicky
Could I just design them at a very high resolution, and they would scale down and still look good for phones with smaller resolutions?
I generally use computer wallpapers since the phone prompts you to crop & scales down accordingly. However, a lot of people notice better quality when using the correct size. I have cropped and resized all of my wallpapers to the correct size for my device (960x800) because I'm a wallpaper junkie. I have noticed that most people have a 480x800 display, which will use a wallpaper of 960x800 (twice the length, same height to allow for scrolling). Usually wallpapers made for Android - like the ones that come in wallpaper packs - are sized to 960x800. Newer devices are coming out with higher quality displays, and those with HTC Sense 3.0 don't have scrolling wallpaper, so 960x800 isn't future-proof. I would suggest making the wallpapers in a larger resolution, and offering both the high resolution to crop & scale, and an already resized version to 960x800 for the majority of current Android users.

[Q] MIUI - own made wallpapers display goes way off the quality

Guys, i made my own wallpapers and reedit some original miui wallpapers with cs5 that come with themes always display off the quality. Not in HD. I use official miui.
I tried with different ppi and resolution, it look real hd if i set as desktop background on my computer. But not on my phone. The tiny line will display blur line on the phone.. It goes the same when i edit some icons too.
I wonder if theres any program or specific setting for images and icons that would display like hd for miui? Anybody guide me or point me to any program that appropriate for miui?
Thanks

[Q] CHange Pixel Density on Galaxy S2?

Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i would like to change the Pixel Density of. It is rooted currently, but I just want to be able to read texts clearer and play my games and watch videos more sharp and crisp.. i know there are afew apps on the android market which can do this, but if i want clear/sharpness which is the recommended pixel density(240 is the default).
Also, i need something that will work perfectly on Galaxy S2, like, not make the widgets or icons or anything out of proportion...i want things to auto fit
It's in theory impossible since our display is 480 by 800.. If you want a better display sell your SGS2 and buy a Nexus
how is it impossible? there are apps which change the density...
cant i just use a custom home screen launcher?
have a look at hyperdroid. It is MDPI compatible
There is an app that magically creates more physical pixels on you screen? Wow how much is that and could it make my hdtv into a 3D tv too?.. Serious how do you think thats possible? If you want a better pixel density buy a phone with an hd screen because you definatly cannot change it...

Unless I misunderstood your question, there is no way on gods earth that you can create more pixels (ie higher density) than what there physically is.
The best you can do is to max out the screen brightness which gives the illusion of a better picture.

Of course you can change the density, just edit system/build.prop with rootexplorer..
Despite the smart answers above, I know what you mean, and love this app on my Asus TF-101

No need for that much complication, you just need to decrease the pixel value, well you can do that by editing build.prop or just use a simple app from market called LCD Resolution (Root).
But no, how on earth would you technically increase dpi while I9100 is given a 480x800 resolution hardware wise.
Wish that was possible and I could made my 1680x1050 monitor a HD one
why you would like do that ?
yes, i'm courious too, why?
