I don't have any problems at 160, post a screen shot? ROM?
I do know some ROMs don't play nice at 160 such as starburst and Most ASOP.

Starburst 1.9.8.r

My photon did that when I went under 190, I don't know what causes that. Here's me at 160. I'd just leave it at 200 with startburst or flash a ROM that lets you run 160 if you really want it.

Hm, that's weird. Well I suppose I'll try flashing caulkin's and see if that fixes it. what rom are you using at the moment?

Its in my sig, and yes Calkulin does let you run at 160 I just came from that.

What about fixing the flash for websites. Flash doesn't work when I got 160

Smaller fonts, smaller icons, more information on screen. Also makes it not look like an interface for legally blind children.

Touchwiz doesn't scale. Period. Use another launcher or find a version from a galaxy note and match the dpi setting.
Launcher7 is fun and confuses people. Launcher pro is fast and smooth as it gets. ADW/ADWex are uber configurable.

That is exactly what it is like. Of course it can't actually change the screen resolution, but, it has the same effect as doing that on your PC. (Which got me thinking, why didn't any OS have a an OS wide 'scaling' option independent of screen resolution?)
I just edit my build.prop, though you can also you Density Changer or Blade Buddy and I'm sure there are many other apps out there that do it for you.
Of course you will need to be rooted to do any of this.

Thanks, I like it. It seems that 210 is the sweet spot for me. Only problem is that the dialer doesnt scale that well. Oh well, small price to pay.

Use go dialer, it looks great.

i swore by this with my epic 4g, and it was the very first thing i did when i got the touch....
but the little time i spent with it at normal, i started to realize that the phone was more reponsive. letters in the different keyboards i used seemed to pick up better and moving around felt more fluid, and i got the same ghosting thing you got on a different rom and i just kinda gave up
i admit that it could just be in my mind though, it could also be that using a secondary dialer and launcher may be slowing things down. what i do is use the 'font size' app and just decrease the size of the text leaving the icons and everything the same. would like it smaller though, would any of you happen to know an app that changes the size of the font alone?

I love being able to theme the status bar. You can't use all of the icons for the battery, you have to use the 1% icons....the others wont work right unless your original battery icon does not have percentage.
I am using the ICS theme with UnNamed rom and now everything is that awesome blue color with pink and purple throughout by using the theme manager to change some things. If they work on it enough, it could be like the CM7 TMobile ThemeChooser app as far as theming goes. It is a very cool app.
I've been on the fence about purchasing the paid version, mainly to be able to change the color of the status bar icons. Don't know if it's worth $5 just for that, but the app in general is awesome so I'll probably pick it up to donate.
i use this all the time especially to change fonts!!
I was able to make this happen. Lol.

I tried changing my battery icon and my phone freaked out after reboot. Alot of other things seem to work but I'm afraid to change any themes or icons.
I'm afraid also because this is an app that multiple phones can use.
You start getting bad stuff happen when changing random things. Most of these ROMs have built in theme options.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
If you have a battery mod already that does 1% increments, then only use the ones in the toolbox that are 1%, then reboot when it's done. Hopefully that helps a little.

You have to choose one of the icons available. You might find the same one. They have multiple colors of the same icons for some.

Interesting app.
On the stock EK02, rooted, can you change the battery icons to any of the % ones? aka How does one know which works?

Thoughts after a few days with my SG2

Well - after a few days of playing with the phone, I think I'm going to keep it. It's not perfect, but the screen is great, and the 4g data speeds are awesome and only supposed to get better. The only other phone I want would be an iphone, but I can't justify the downgrade in data speed! Love Android, but as a mac user there's something attractive about the unity of it...think I might get an ipad and just steal the SG2's 4G I gotta say though, not sure if it's from using Sense for a long time or what, but I do not see what the deal is with Touchwiz. Aside from the neat effect of dragging your finger over the window indicator to zoom between screens, I can't discern one special thing about it. Decided to throw Go launcher on the phone and have been much happier so far. The phone is a beast though. Once I decide 1000% to keep it I'll root and see what's what.
When cm9 hits (hopefully) I'll be all over that.
wish i felt like you did about the phone, except the iPhone part I've had one and thought it was a POS but that's another story. I came from the sensation and the amaze 4g and I really miss my amaze the camera is just superior and the resolution is hard to get use to after having qhd I just can't stand how big font is mainly. I do like touchwiz alot though and the slimness and speed of this phone is incredible I'm torn about this phone right now.

Umm how u change dpi? For galaxy?

Changing the dpi doesn't fix anything because certain parts of the phone start to get blurry and it looks terrible. I also like touchwiz so by changing dpi the launcher starts to look terrible as well.

Why do you want an iphone instead? Its not statistically superior..
Agreed about the touchwiz, I kind of miss my sense. Probably just because I'm so used to it.
If you want the iphone feel you can download espier launcher. I do agree that iphone has a more polished ui but have not tried ics yet

I appreciate your offer and realize that you probably get requests more for creating wallpapers, but I was hoping you could help me with a "resizing wallpaper" problem. This is the original image that I want to make into a properly sized wallpaper for a stock T989;
However, I can't get it sized so that the center desktop, (desktop 4), has the entire image of the band name centered correctly. No matter what I tried, the B and the I are always cut off, and the partial letters appear on desktops 3 and 5. Is there a way to size this correctly without losing either too much of the image, or messing up the aspect ratio so that the band name is centered cleanly on desktop 4? (It almost seems like the answer would be to extend the image right and left a bit.. I don't know..)
Thanks..

All you need is big font from the market, dpi set to 128 to activate tablet mode, then in big font, change its settings to 130% and you keep the tabletUI interface and everything is easier to read..

"huge font" ??? I've actually been digging 140DPI lately....I wouldn't go huge but I would go a little bigger at 128DPI...but not much.
This screen really does amaze me at times...140 just seems insane, but, after an hour or two it's awesome. Sure, you gotta hold the phone a little closer and using it while at a stoplight or, gasp, driving is completely out of the question...but My first computer couldn't even do the then-highres 640x200 mode. As long as the fonts are readable and not insanely blocky or obfuscated (font choice is key here) it's fnckin' fine.
IMHO, YMMV, ETC

You can adjust the font size for the statusbar in ROM control settings, under general statusbar I believe. Made it perfect to me, but everybody has a slightly different preference

Just wondering what dpi settings people are using. Currently I am using 320... because it's a "recognized" value in the play store. Thinking I may jump up to 360 though. Others?

Im running 320 too. I may try others but i really like 320. About the play store, i should have a modded one by the end of the day.

It's probably been answered somewhere but why do people change the dpi on their phone again?

The UI scales according to the DPI value
higher DPI = bigger ui elements

Haha you don't suck lol
and It just does it for you. I already know what needs to be edited and what not. Takes two seconds really. Just a matter of actually doing it

Aren't there already modded DPI play stores in various threads here on XDA? I mean, I fully respect the desire to do it oneself; but when the fix already exists and all....

They are modded to whatever DPI they feel like. I like doing specifically for each device i have to match with the stock DPI set by manufacturer.

Oh, I didn't think they were modded to work on a certain DPI.
Also, are you talking about making the play store itself show a different DPI other than the system DPI or are you talking about the fact that some apps will show as invalid when system DPI is changed to something other than the manufacturer default? Because I was thinking the latter; and the modded play stores I've used in the past have fixed that problem.

Yes to the second part. If you change your DPI, some apps will say incompatible. And if you, say, change to 320 (a default android DPI) and you want to download something that uses our 1080p screen, say an HD game or something, it will more than likely come up as not compatible.
Where as, a modded market with our stock 480?( i think ) it will show as compatible.
Which is exactly why I would be interested in learning how to do it...
