Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.

julian schapman has just released touchxplorer there are some limits
it seems to only work on htc devices. Non htc devices will have to wait a bit...
The device is only meant for chevron unlocked/developer unlocked devices that are HTC
Have fun with it
As a matter of fact, tried it on Samsung Omnia 7 and it didn't work. Very promising

maybe you should read the post before commenting...theres a link and a set of instructions.
Anyhow, already had it loaded on my phone since earlier. Been monitoring his site. It works as advertised. Can't wait till we get some more functionality =D
I like it. Work very well. Top!
One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)
Very good work!
Here we go again.
Some apps in the legit market place and others in the grey market. Yay?
Is it possible to copy WP7 to PC?
works outstandingly! very fast, very smooth on my device. got a custom ringtone!!!!! thanks so much
I actually had this installed for the past week on my HD7 which is what I am typing this post on but just 10 minutes ago a message came up and stated that Touchxplorer has be revoked by Microsoft and it would not let me do anything TILL I uninstalled it. Anyone else getting this problem? Looks like I will have to reinstall it somehow.

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...
There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.
Just got an error. This app has been revoked by m$hit please uninstall. Should i reinstall it and will it work?

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?
Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?
how can i install it on my phone?
Since the release of ICS on our phone I'd been having the issue of Media Server eating up 50-60% of my battery at all times and none of my pictures, ringtones or music showing up in any of the stock google apps. I know a number of people were having the same problem. I assumed it was kernel issue (it still might be) but i wanted to figure out if it's user fixable. To figure out what the problem was I pulled every last audio file off my SD cards and re-added them one at a time.
The problem seems to be with the m4a scanner/decoder in the media server. m4as use a different algorithm than mp3s so the 2 file types are scanned/decoded separately. The problem seems to be in my case that the ringtone for the facebook app pop which resided on my internal SD was hanging the scanner and blocking all the other media files on both SDs. Other m4as were causing problems too, none of which seem to be corrupt or dysfunctional. It seems that m4as scan before mp3s and m4as are more prone to catastrophic failure so they are the biggest offender.
tl;dr
The fix:
Step 1: Remove all m4as from your sd cards to a folder on your desktop via usb storage; ringtones and all. I dont have any AAC files (itunes format) but they are m4as as well so I recommend removing them as well.
Step 2: Add them back one at a time, each time disconnecting from your computer and checking battery stats. If the file is ok you will see media server fall off the list within a minute. If media server hangs at 50% then that audio file is your culprit.
Step 3: If the offending file doesn't show itself, remove all audio files from your sd; mp3, wav, aiff, whatever. Use a mp3 repair app (I use http://www.triq.net/articles/mp3-validator-mac-os-x for mac, theres eleventy-seven of them for pc. I dont claim to know which is best) to check and repair them and re-add them one at a time in the same procedure as step 2. Hopefully it wont come to this.
If none of these steps work start checking other media files. Corrupt video or image files might cause the same problem as they are all scanned by the media server.
Hope this helps
Not pulling 1.8k songs from my phone lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
No one told you that you have to.
That is definitely a WORKaround....LOL!!!
Think i will just stick to the GB ROM's for now. I have 26gb of AAC (m4a) music on my phone right now. I do appreciate you taking the time to figure this out!!!!
It took me about 3 hrs to get it working properly and most of that time was spent getting all the 20GB of music off my phone onto my computer. The troubleshooting aspect went pretty quick.
I have no empirical proof that the issue is caused only by m4as but i have an inkling that it is, just based on what i went through during the fix. So unless you only use m4a and aac audio files it actually is pretty easy. You can actually use the mp3 repair programs while the files are still on your phone to cut out a large portion of the initial time consuming dump.
Thanks for the tip, but this definitely isnt a fix btw for the record. And here is my little rant. Not towards anybody though. Just to google actually since there is no answer from them whatsoever regarding this issue.
Whatever media files you might have "mediaserver" thing shouldn't happen. We could be downloading some new ringtones and wallpapers that are "corrupted"...(how the hell are we supposed to know if the files aren't corrupted. And what the hell does it mean by corrupted? Was something supposed to really even care that files are so called corrupted? )
Does your 3 year old mp3 player drain battery by just having a corrupted music file?
Google should step into this and fix it....
I had the same issue, in fact I posted about it 2 days ago in the Q&A section trying to find a solution. In searching, and I did a lot of it, I'm sure I ran across your thread in a Google search and started doing what you suggested.
In doing that, and then checking to see if it would still run after reboot, even after having very little media left on my cards, that stupid media server would not stop running. So it got old pulling of little by little so I finally just took everything off and reformatted both my internal and external SD cards. Now I never see the Media Server running in the battery stats.
I've been slowly adding stuff back in, paying attention to the server and it doesn't show it running constantly anymore.
I know it was a corrupt file that ICS didn't like somewhere, a MP3 or ringtone...something it was scanning and getting stuck on.
It's nice having a clean SD card again. After many flashes and different ROM's, I had so much crap on there, who knows what it could of been. But it solved my problem; and thanks for the heads-up because I was at a loss as to why I was having this issue and others not! Very happy now
Did help on my phone.
Thanks alot!
Is there any way to get Media Server to ignore directories? I think I am having issues with it hitting a WebM file.
TBH, I don't know why I want it to scan my files. I keep them in a fairly organised way and would probably be fine if it never bothered to scan for them.
add a blank file named ".nomedia" in whatever directory you wish it to ignore. all subdirectories will be excluded as well.

What exactly does media server do, is it necessary to certain functions of ics, and could we just block it or remove it?

U resurrected an old thread why?..
MediaServer is the media scanner, you can remove, but your libraries wont be refreshed, there ARE apps online that can be used to replace, and offer 1-click scan, & scheduled scan. But as of official release, (for me anyways) this is a non-issue.
Plz don't resurrect old threads.. thx
If he had a question about the thread then there's no reason why he shouldn't all the question in it. What do you want him to do, start a new one?
Thanks for the media tip. I didn't even know this could be a problem. But know I know how to trouble shoot it if it occurs.

Yes actually, he could have simply made a response in Q&A section, considering this is a very old post for a very old bug that has been long since fixed
And considering all his questions, although are pertaining to posts topic, could have been answered with a google search, or even the lazy way (Q&A) would probably yeild results quicker, expecially since the topic doesn't actually suggest the presence of his question?,

Hi, I've been trying to find a fix for this issue and after reading all posts and doing several Google searches, I still have not found a satisfactory fix. Removing everything and putting it back one by one is a VERY time consuming work around, but no fix. Stopping the service and replacing it with 1-click or scheduled sync is also not a fix. I am using the latest 1.6 Paranoid Android ROM and this issue started all on its own without me doing any updates to the music or videos. Only changes are new photos and new or updated apps. I hope a proper fix is found sooner rather than later.

What worked for me was moving everything from the SD card, formatting it, moving everything back and rebooting. Hasn't run since and I've been checking on it for the past few days.

It really is the only fix, and it works. I too started removing things one by one until I got fed up and completely reformatted both internal & external sd cards a few months back, and the issue never returned.
I had one of the Devs tell me it's always good practice when making a OS change, like GB to ICS to start with fresh reformatted cards; because you don't know what junk is left behind on the cards, that the new OS is not going to like. It works, you don't need to stop any services, and its worth the time.

Hi,
I installed PowerAMP full version, why can not I play list selected music on an external SD card. I especially get the card and from there I want to let you listen to.
How to solve?
Did you select your external SD card in settings? You might have to manually select it, I had this problem too at first
Where can I find this option, I'm sorry but I was on the iPhone 4 years so I did this all new
When in poweramp hit your menu key on phone (the one left of the Home key) that brings up a menu ,3rd from bottom settings.4th option down folders and library-music folders-Sd card -whatever your folder is (probably music) tick it then go back 1 page and hit rescan.
That should do it.
Check your stock music player can see the ext card files .
If not you may need to delete that folder and copy the music back .

I started having the problem a couple of days ago where nothing happens when I tap on the preview window in the lower left hand corner of the camera application. (The one that normally takes you to a gallery of all your camera shots.) Tapping on the screen to focus still works, and the icon in question "depresses" to register that I tapped on it, but nothing happens.
Any idea how I could fix this? Many thanks.
