I just installed this app last night and started messing around with it. I have mine set at 200 everything looks good. This is how the Evo should have shipped IMO. My question is, will this damaged the LCD at some point in time? Or is it harmless to our phones?

Haven't tried the app, but there is a script that is on the Cyanogen Forum that does the same thing, but the changes are persistent after a reboot.

Well I think their is a setting where you can save your current as the system default.

There is, but it doesn't stick on Gingerbread roms...at least not in my experience. The script from Lithid does though.

You need to use adw launcher or a similar product that allows you to add more then 4 icons in a row/column. This will allow you to change the size of the widgets.

I'd like to be able to pull down the notification bar when I am using the browser.
I'ts nice 99% of the time that we get 100% full screen when using the browser. But my not. bar has the time, icons for if my gps came on, if I have a message, etc.
It would be cool if some sliver of the not. bar were there and we could pull it down to view while in the browser. I only use the stock browser and this might be an option in other browsers, but I think it would be nice as an option any way.

Back on track, I would like a little lightsaber to cut wedges of cheese to put on crackers. I imagine it being a little melted even.
In reality, to me the phone is pretty much just what I want. Especially now that there's so many developers working on different roms. Maybe more AOSP roms since the only two are CM and Miui.
For me.... moar gbs.... and maybe it could build me an island and then turn into a jet and fly me there

I too would like to see more AOSP roms. CM is one thing, but it is more stock AOSP which is cool but not what I want. MIUI on the other hand is something COMPLETELY different than anything else out there and that's what I would be interested in. Not something like MIUI, but something built off AOSP source that was completely different and original.
MIUI is amazing.
Lol that would be kinda dangerous and I want to try making a asop rom next but I'm still learning I'm going to release my first rom tonight just to see what people ask to change so I can attempt to fulfill there request and learn at the same time

Ill translate the dbags comment. Many people have asked to port over sense or some part of sense to our phones. To the best of my knowledge we don't have what it takes to port anything over from sense. Whether its the source for whatever or the knowledge to port such a thing over. So that's the main reason as far as I know. If you want a better answer, try and do a search for other realted topics on porting over sense to our phones and see what I said is true but I'm pretty sure I'm close lol

Hmmm, I know WDM was working with a group at one point that was going to try to port it. I'm not saying that it's impossible to do, just very difficult. It's not like the tw launcher which you can run on any device just by installing the apk. More like the dialeractivitytab.apk which has dependencies from the twframework. I guess the whole point is that it's not just getting an apk to run on our device. If it were that easy, it would be done already.
Can you throw up a link to the Huawei Ideos with sense?

I'm not sure if there's 6 or 8 for EC05 but I've searched, as always, but I can't seem to find the lock-screen mod by itself.

To anyone who wants a higher LCD density on our beautiful screen but can't stand the market issues, I recently found this app on the market for only $3. It changes the density and edits the market to make it think the density is 240 so there are no compatibility issues . Definitely worth the money, so check it out if you want:

There's nothing you can really do but either get a dailer replacement on the market or just run and AOSP rom because they have no problems with higher density.

I can't think of anything really besides maybe that it lets you see more things at once on the screen in some situations (like in your contacts or browser). It doesn't really look too small (IMO) on this screen because it's so big lol.
Yeah. Fron what ive seen it seems to mess with other things, such as dialer being messed up and market issues. If i can avoid purchasing an app i will if i dont necessarily "need" it. Thank you for your reply.

220 was perfect for me. Made icons large and the text large so that my screens would look the same. Using exdialer since stock dialer didn't stretch. Perfect now with extra resolution.

The pixel density of this screen compared to it's size is exactly 206 (check gsmarena or do the math). Hence that is what I use for DPI. It really showcases the screen as it fits so damn much and everything is legible and sized right.
Ofc, on stock, this doesn't work good.

thats how you do it manually with market fix.
Any way to do this on other roms ala ParanoidAndroid? I'd like to change the dpi for specific apps not the whole phone. Searched the market and came up with nothing. Didn't get much from a gsearch either.

Not pointless. Its one of the best features on the paranoidandroid port. For example the xda app is huge I'd like to make it a 200 dpi. But I want to keep apex at its default 240.

AFAIK... paranoidandroid is the only ROM able to do this. Even in then, there are still numerous errors, FCs with apps. To answer your OP, its impossible without paranoidandroid. Unless you wanna grab some source code and figure it out
