Would it be possible to edit android source code lets say for the Galaxy S to only use a certain portion of the lcd screen. Say much like changing the resolution but creating it so only say 1 inch down would be usable. The rest inoperative.
Just curious if this is a hardware or software thing.

As far as i know i don't know if this can be done but you can still try reducing lcd density.
Why do you want to do this ??
Note that changing or altering LCD density can give FCs on various apps.

Hi Guys,
I'm a designer and have put together a concept of a Google Search Widget that I wouldn't mind sitting on my home screen. I've integrated styles from other parts of the UI so that it'll fit more seamlessly into the user experience.
I've never developed for Android before but have done a lot of background reading and am aware of the various \res\drawable images I'll need to replace. My question is whether or not I'll be able to replace those images without rooting my device, using ASTRO for example?
Also, is it a simple case of replacing the \res\drawable images and it working or is there more to it?
I've got a locked bootloader and don't want to unlock it, so am waiting for ICS and a hopeful way to root with a locked bootloader then.
Screenshot of what it will look like:

I'll be re-designing the app that launches upon touch to look more like the Xperia UI menus

Hi everyone, im a nexus s ics user. My screen is almost death. Part of my touchscreen doesnt work. Like, 20% of it. But the other part of my screen works.
And there is no place to replace my screen. My device is unsupported in my country.
So i got an idea. If i can change the screen size (not the resolution or density) of my phone i can just ignore the unworking part and i can push the software buttons instead of touchscreen hardware buttons cuz they are not working anymore.

Hey guys I received my HTC One earlier today and I noticed a couple of things, one, there are small gaps between the polycarbonate and the speaker grill and my capacitive buttons seem to have a purple-ish hue to them. it almost seems as if they are not completely lighting up. Has anyone else had this issue?
If not should I go ahead and get it replaced?
The only reason I ask is because when I went to the AT&T store, the display model had the same issue.
By the way, they look sort of like this, except more purple:

Mine have somewhat of a hue.
They look like this:

or you can get it replaced,

Hi,
I have a dead pixel Dell streak 5. I though about decreasing the screen size from 5inch to something like 4inch or 3.5 inch. Is it possible?
So I will use the phone only with live pixels. See the attach. please help if there is any app for that which supports ICS (2.3 or 2.2)

You have a bit more than a dead pixel there.
While it's an intriguing concept, what you want to do cannot be done. You would need to rewrite every single driver related to the screen, and quite honestly that's an awful lot of work for little gain. That's assuming of course that such a thing is even possible.
Sell the device for parts, if you can't find a replacement screen at a decent price.
I thought about using an app like a multi screen apk. floating browser etc etc. but since it is 2.3, It doesnt support such apps. Do you have any suggestiong about it? any Mods?
I already gave my suggestion in my prior post. No mod in the universe will help with a hardware problem.
Just brought it, i really like it in all aspects except the annoying rainbow effect, i can even see it without tilt the tablet, especially in landscape, just wondering EVERYONE have this problem? after some time of use you get used to? any way of fix it?
I was thinking of change it but it doesn't make sense if all units are faulty
Rainbow effect:

I am unable to access your screen picture but my tablet is perfectly normal and has none of the aberrations you describe. I was in a shop yesterday and handled the two display models and they were fine too. So I would suspect a fault with yours.
Here are the pics http://imgur.com/a/mpuTI#0
So your tablet doesn't have any of this when you tilt it?
I noticed a rainbow effect when I first got mine, but now I don't see it at all unless I really look for it.

No, none of that. Using the same Google page,I have tilted it in every direction and it is a clean high quality IPS screen with no artifacts.
