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?

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?

Evo 3d or iphone

so here is the deal. i cracked my screen on my evo 4g. i can upgrade in a couple of months. should i get an evo 3d or an iphone?

IPhone or something better than 3d

HTC phones often come with two different displays. If you end up with the "good" one it's a different story.

welll my gf has the epic 4g and all it is adw launcher.

epic 4g touch hands down

I have the Evo 4g with I well never give up. Was looking and saw the screens are not expesive if you want to replace it. I had the Ipad. I would never ever ever go back to Apple, now using Android. Mean ever. ha.. that is the first time I said that.. But I really mean it..

I would get the HTC. I've had the epic 4g, and Samsung has to many issues. I have the 3d now and the wife has the original evo. I just think HTC for now makes the better phone.

Honestly if your staying on sprint, you can get the screen fixed at the mall, at some of those lil kiosks, u can also do it urself if ur a lil tech savy...
Basically I would figure something out till sprint comes out w/ 4G LTE...

It all comes down to what your going to use your phone for. If you like to flash roms and customize your phone hard core, then stick with Android. If your using your phone for basic use, text, email and Facebook then go with iPhone. Keep in mind that iPhone does not support flash and never will unless you jailbreak it.

just got my phone!

well i got sprint to cancle me because of changes to contract flashed to cricket and that was cool for the price but i still had crap data sold my 3d and put a down payment on my phone
i love my data speeds with tmobile it might not be unlimited but its at least usable no more edge speeds all the time.
hope to get to know more of you over here just when i started to cozy up in the evo 3d section i landed myself here
so anyway asoon as i got home i rooted it of course and i thought i would start slow and flash a rooted stock rom i saw on cyanogens site they list the galaxy s2 but the picture of the phone doesn't match is that for a different variation
thank in advance
eric

yes it's different, that's for the international version. each carrier has it's own version of the s2

I took advantage of breaking my contract as well. Have had this phone for a couple Weeks.
How do you like it compared to the 3VO? Only thing I miss is qhd.

Im sure you know this, but it is a common mistake that happens and I dont want you to ruin your phone. Do not flash any other ROM for the S2 varient that is not specifically designated for the T989. You can flash Skyrocket roms, but still. Be very careful when flashing a gs2 rom! I would recommend the Darkside Warefare rom or Juggernaut 5.0. Both good roms and plenty of other nice ones to try out like macnut. Anyways, happy flashing and make sure they say for T989 or you risk a brick.

You can flash skyrocket roms? How do you go about that, just flash a T989 Kernel?

I cancelled Sprint last week too. Had the Evo 3D as well. I actually hated the qHD screen after having the OG Evo. The screen width cramped the keyboard too much. Loving this screen, battery life and data speeds.

I came from sprint and the evo 3d a few weeks ago not missing much love the data speeds going to miss unlimited data already I use a lot of data. Try Juggernaut rom I have been using it with launcher pro so I can change the shortcuts on the bottom and the paid version has some sense like widets. You can also download smart keyboard its more like the HTC keyboard after my last 4 phones being HTC a few things I missed and adding them makes it more like I'm used to.
As far as the 3d I don't miss it at all in 5 months had the get it replaced 3 times. The screen was crammed after the evo

This is the best thing about the sgs2. It almost seems that the battery is twice what I had with the 3d. Overall a better phone by far.

Evo 3d couldn't make it thru the day even being oc sga2 a good day and a half

Got to try this new launcher. Pricey tho. 17 bucks. Never seen anything like this.

Boo that. $17 is rediculous and its not built on ICS, plus it's nothing new has been around forever.

I'm not a cheap person, I waste money daily, often on purpose, and never look for the best deal. But $17 for a launcher is ridiculous. /rant

Video looks good. Looks like something similar to other home screen overlays. I like the beta browser selection for quick controls. I'd like to see that standard in the whole OS.

I played with it when they had the free beta up but as cool as it is... you might as well buy some Vaseline with that launcher. Don't get me wrong, it does look good though.

Is it true that it is not for ICS ?? Does it run smooth on ICS ? Its really expensive !

so do they run that on a beast of a PC in an emulator with a touch screen? That's the only way I can think of running all those graphics without any lag in that video.

Looks great, but not as impressive when it comes to usability. Looks and feels like a clunky miui launcher clone with a bit of polish. And for £10+ its poor value IMO. Really disappointed TBH.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

I agree - the transitions, etc are amazing, but the resolution seems blurry, the use of screen space is poor, and usability is lacking (twice the clicks to do anything).
Still, gotta admire their work, and I'll be keeping an eye on the updates.
Pricing seems like a bad idea, also. I'm sure that if they dropped it to $5 they would see way more sales...

Ad. 10chars...

I have to disagree on blurry icons etc. Transitions are cool. I don't have any lag or stutter running OC on lean kernel. I just downloaded it and will play with it some more throughout the day.

TouchWiz ruins ICS.

Hi, I just installed a skyrocket build of the TW ICS and it looks like garbage all over stunning pure ICS. Thanks to all the Dev's that work so hard to clean that garbage from.the Samsung TW rom's.
All this time I wanted ICS now I don't see a point for this UGLY TW ICS.
It's just sad to see this beautiful Phone ruined by TW and T-Mobile. Just because of this I just ordered the Galaxy Nexus. Even with its shortcomings its much better then this. It had ICS for half a year already. And we are dreaming for ICS and until we get it the next version of Android will be here.

I fail to register the fact that you buy a nexus over the t989 or i727 its a perfectly good phone that being said now that both s2's have ics its only a matter of time where dev's get creative and build ics roms that would have tw near non existent..
