Screen resolution? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if there is a way to change the phones screen res? Like on a computer I can do 1400 by 900 makes the icons small and looks like I have a large surface area.

I know there's a paid app called LCD density changer that allows you to make your icons smaller. Someone may chime in with an app that does it for free though

its not an app lol he meant to go into your /system and edit the build.prop. It has one line that says LCD density and requires no need for an extra app. You can do it all from your phone

In the op link. Its the two letters should be a droid one. (Df)
That does look really nice and it can't be a battery drainer unless you live on the notification dropdown. I think the nexus live wallpaper would be amazing looking. Or the droid charge boot animation? Matched for theme colors if possible would be even better.
I would LOVE the boot animation of the Android guy with the blue flames going around it!!

No more so than a live wallpaper...its only running when you're actually using it. I currently use an app called Multi Picture LWP that scrolls my photos every 5 seconds, but it pauses the pictures when I turn the screen off.

[APP] Change screen resolution ?

There is an app, called "LCD Resolution".
It lets rooted phones to change the resolution. It is free and works on ace.
Looks cool.. Post a comment if you used it.. and what setting is optimum.
It just changes the screen density. However, if you really are intent on using it, try 140 and your 2d performance will improve a little bit.
Muhaha from pocketnow
You can d this also manually by editting build.prop or with lcd density

Two screenshot collections. One before other after setting to 140 (also added more columns with ADW).
My language has long words, this helps to see full length words in settings menu.

have you tried make/recieve a call with a different lcd density? i guess your phone app will simply crash.
If there is a solution please, i'll be very glad to know about because my ace with a 140 density is much more appealing to the eye!
Great apk. And which smalest can change density 140 or smalest?

Just booted with 80 (940x640)
I'm wondering, since 800x480 game resolutions wont fit Galaxy Ace's screen, will changing the density to 800x480 from 480x320 make it fit? Haha just curious though

ROM : TheMythICS Lite Beta 2

Don't just say 'thanks', use d 'THANKS' button.

So it only changes the density, not the physical resolution of the screen, right?
Don't get it. Conventionally High Dpi = High resolution but it seems the opposite in this application.
Did you notice any loss of sharpness guys?
Using now 120, 110 status bar fc, 100 bootloop
If you do this keep it mind that it breaks the market, most things will say your device is incompatible, and lots of stuff will be missing.
At eny resolution i try i got crush of com.android.phone all other work good but i cant use phone for call :/ wen i got o try make call .. crush ;/

[Q] Changing DPI

Hi everyone. I'm using my E4GT on AOKP Build 33 and Codename Android and everyone constantly talks about changing DPIs. I'm just wondering... what are the pros and cons to changing DPI? And what problems are known to occur if you do so? If I'm not mistaken, DPI stands for dots per inch, so wouldn't a higher DPI be better in terms of quality? Why would people want to lower it then? Thanks.

I do it because more fits on the screen and makes it look more high Res. Typical settings would be something from the 180-200 range but I prefer 160. Some cons would be maybe harder to press on screens buttons since their smaller, some apps not working and market not being compatible at that DPI. Just try it out and see if you like it. I would start at 200 and go lower from there if you want.

I believe it was 320. I got mine set to 240 now Do u think you can mod the stock dialer and camera app to fit that!
Thanks ben
Can you explain why you lowered the dpi and how you did it. . One would think one would want more dpi not less?

The lower dpi = higher "resolution" gives you more screen space smaller icons looks way better then the stock huge icons.
You should try it.
I did it with rom toolbox under screen density.
