[Q] Changing screen size of Dell Streak 5 - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Looking to Buy But Have Questions

I was attracted to this tablet as a replacement for a recently sold off Nook Color as it was a 10'' device but running 2.x rather than 3.x. I enjoy HC on my SGT 10.1 but I missed the feel of 2.x as well as certain apps not supporting 3.x and at any rate needed a machine with ports and expandable memory for storing reading material.
To that end I know that the GTab has the same resolution of 1024x600 as the Nook Color and I was wondering if apps scaled the same way (full screen on NC but not too pretty sometimes)?
An example would be Age of Zombies.
TL;DR version:
How well do apps tend to fit the screen?
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter and if this question has already been resolved I would greatly appreciate a link or keywords for searching.
here's hte easiest way to respond to your question. Age of Zomibes running on Calk/Clem Gtablet:

Thank you very much for the quick and detailed response. I think I will be going for the GTab now.

[Q] Any way to get THAT kind of launcher on our phones?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnn5bthvq7M&feature=player_embedded
They told me that when someone buys the phone they could provide a dump so that we have that launcher on our phones. Does anyone of you know anything? Is it possible to code such thing? Our dual-core phones definitely can run such an app. What do you guys think?
Bump? Noone? Don't you guys think it's worth a try? Customization is everything..
Looks cool. Its 1300 dollars. You should buy it and dump it for us.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Well, I used the 600euros for the S II. Guess noone has the phone. Or wants to develop such launcher...
Its not even a phone , there is no mention of radio bands anywhere on the website, i think its pure development/tech demo unit , qualcomms version of google Nexus series of phones minus phone function
What i really like on this demo unit is external SD card slot , you can quick swap without opening your phone if only more phones had it.

[Q] Android Development for Pantech SKY Player SMP-301 PMP

Hello fellow XDA-ers
I was looking around on the internet, and I found this:

Pantech's SMP-301 "SKY the Player"
A relatively unknown PMP, that never made it past Korea, made by Pantech. Based on that site, the player comes with 32 GB Internal Memory, a 3.7" 480x800 AMOLED display, and from small research, I hear it's capable of 1080p video playback without conversion.
There's one thing which I feel is a let down to this device though, and it's got Android 2.1 Eclair on it, and I have tried to look for developments for this device and found none.
My question is this, do any of you know of android developments for this device, if not, based on experience and perhaps knowledge, how difficult would it be to port a Gingerbread, if not ICS Build on the device? I'm thinking a good starting point would be to work from other developments on Pantech devices already.
Thoughts guys? :O

[Q] Change usability of screen size on android

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to put this inside a calculator.
Just to mess around it seems like a fun idea, but im wondering if it can be done and what i need to edit in the code.
any tips on this?im very interested in this in order to make a screen of a 7'' tablet to fit an acessorie from my car

Does everyone have the "rainbow effect"? It's deal breaker?

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

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.
