is there a program with which i can change the screen resolution to lower value?
the 800X480 sometimes is too much and strains my eyes.
please use search to vga fix 3 (here, in blackstone forum, or in dev&hack forum )

WVGAfix cuts the screen so the view area is smaller.
I think you want to have a lower resolution but fullscreen?
I don't know if that's possible, at least I don't know an APP that can do it.
...I never heard of anyone complaining about too much DPI before, REALLY!

Hi all,
Now that we have all got our XDA's does any one know if it would be possible to change the Screen in the XDA to a 640x480 screen so that we can use the High resolutions in the new version of Windows Mobile edition?
I have seen some screen shots of the diference and its a HUGE difference... I would love to have a 640x480 screen now after seeing what the device could look like.
I suppose that the device can pump out 800x600 for Output but am not sure if it can pump 640x480 directly to the screen? do you think they will be an upgrade option if people would like to have there screen's updated on there XDA2's?
well of cause you would have to replace the whole screen
not sure if the the xda2 is popular enough for them to consider ofering something like that
I think they will, but it'll be called XDA III
Would it not be as easy as getting a new 640x480 screen and connecting it up? Provided we can find the right size and with the correct connector of course? Is there any reasion that our XDA II will not beable to push out 640x480 reso direct to the screen?
I'm not very technical when it comes to the workings of the XDA as I do not know the hardware it has inside, and am not game enough to start poking around in it just yet...
Well I do hope for all of ours sake that we will have an option or a parth later on for the new reso it does look sooooooo much better and is super CRISP...
No, it would be possible (Se NYDITOT Virtual Display) but you can´t see ****, because the screen only has 320x240 pixels.
maybe the cable to the screen would have a different wireing
and maybe the lcd control chip on the "motherboard" would also
have to be changed
different res's on intergrated devices are never as std. as external monitors on pc's
But you can change the resolution, the problem is neither the chip but the screen. It can only display 320x240 pixels, because is has no more!
skenliv yes but he's asking if they would make an upgrade where he gets a whole new screen for his device which does support 640_480
of cause that still leave the issue with the posible connection difference
and the chip may not be able to control a bigger res and maybe one would even have to change the touchscreen along with the lcd if it's limited to a lower res aswell
anyway i'm pretty sure it would be a very expensive upgrade
and it would prob be cheaper to just buy a xda3
But it is able to handle a higher resolution, that´s what im trying to say
Although the display can show 640, but you can´t see anything because it´s so damn small on a 320x240 pixel screen.
And yes, it would probably be very very expensive to change the whole screen.
how much bigger is the e80X 's screen then xda2's ?
The E800 is 4 Inch. The XDA II is 3 Inch. So it´s quite big.
I think the amount of video ram is also a factor in the available resolution, so even if you could get 800x600 it would probably only be in 256 or 16 colours.
Maybe I wil be too sad but,the Himalaya has internal GPU that is confirmed for ATI Imageon 3200 series.
Following there are the spec:
Display Support
4/8 bit monochrome
12/15/16/18 bit color STN
12/15/16/18 bit TFT
Maximum resolution 320x480 at a color depth of 16-bpp
Partial display refresh
2 HW cursors, 1 HW icon/overlay
Frame modulation
Panel rotation (90°, 180°, 270°)
Please note the maximum resolution supported!
It NEVER support more than 320x480..so never 640x480!
You must change all the matherboard of your ppc for that and also the screen,it isn't factible.
Regards,Ser
Thanks for the replys guys although I am even more confused now, if the ATI Imageon 3200 series does not put our more then 320x480, how does the XDAII output 640x480 and 800x600 output? is this a totaly diferent card/chipset that does this work? If so things might be starting to make a little sence although I don't see why they would not use 1 chipset that could do both... so still a little confusing on the logic side of things...
Cheers...
yes,I see your confusion!
XDA2 can't output 640x480 and can't 800x600.
You probably refer to Nyditot Virtual Display,a program that force "via software" to use virtual resolutions like 640x480-800x600 and up..but more things are unreadable!
or could he be talking about displaying on an external monitor using the backpack?
No.. I think he's talking about the external output on the backpack...

Hi fudgebottom
as your friends said, the display of your pocket pc is designed for 320x240. but i found a software called Virtual Display, you can resize your screen for 640x480 and 800x600 and you can rotate the screen, ...
the site is: http://www.nyditot.com/NVDPage.asp
hope it can help
i wouldnt use that s/w on ur xda2 as it means a hard reset lol been there and done that :|
works fine on xda1 using ppc2003
Is there any way to control the properties of the HD2 display in the same sort of way as one might adjust a conventional LCD monitor? Most monitors, for example, will at least allow you to control R, G and B drive strength so as to adjust the whitepoint (or colour temperature). My HD2 is quite badly shifted to blue compared with the D65 standard, which spoils viewing pleasure when playing videos - can this be corrected?
(bump)
Anybody?
(bump)
Nobody? I can't believe I'm the only person who cares about getting the right colour temperature when playing videos.

I was thinking, if this tablet has such a high resolution that stresses the gpu so much, is there anyway to manually lower it? Like, you know, on a computer?

Try changing the DPI there's a few apps on the market that'll do it for free
Changing DPI won't change the resolution, only the size of elements shown on the screen.
Smartphone screens doesn't have the ability to change resolution as far as I know.
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus
its just draining the battery ...i have no use for quad hd resolution

You can use NOMone Resolution Changer - 1080X1920, 480DPI is the best setting.

Something I learnt is that if you lover the resolution you will NOT get any bump in your battery life. That's because the device upscales the 1080p res to 2K. Also, the processor is capable to run 2K 2D Contents (such as text, webview, certain UI elements etc) without any kind of problem. Only 3D contents such as games could be greatly affected by this.
I can't find it, I heard it is possible since Android 7.0. So, is the option present in Axon 7?
I'm on A2017G (B01 Nougat 7.0) and it's possible, the setting is under Display

That's only changing the font size, not the actual resolution

There is no way to change the resolution only the display scale, and that's what this setting does
You can make it even smaller (or bigger) by setting a custom display scaling. Enable developer options -> then find a setting called smallest width. Then your custom value in it. For example I use 500. bigger values will make the screen show more content(make everything smaller)

no need for root. go in About phone, then tap build number 7 times. It'll enable developer options. This will appear in the advanced settings. then do as I said in previous post.
In terminal emulator:
Code:
wm size widthxheight
So it you wanted to change the resolution to 1080p:
Code:
wm size 1080x1920

Yeah, but for what I know, Android 7.0 supports changing resolution, am I correct? What about 1080p, or 720p, what should I type into ,,width: section?

May I ask what the benefit is for lowering the resolution?
On some Samsung phones you can change the resolution.
The benefit for the battery is nearly 0%

But there is no way to type ,,x" into the smallest wide. By default, it is 360 dp

go to Settings > Advanced > Developer Options and change the smallest width from 360 to the value you need.
410 to 430 good for me... i think 550dp will change it to tablet mode.

if you change the resolution (using build.prop) the stock apps won't scale good.. eg. Stock Dailer incall UI. ..
if you don't care abt stock appps.. root and change the build.prop thats the best option.
Try messing with the DPI. You can find some apps on the market that edit this value for you
can reducing resolution improve 3D gaming performance? like more fps. for example always get more than 30 fps which was not possible with high resolution.

if you're not getting more than 30fps on games I'd recommend you to check the settings. turn VSync off, and if that still doesn't help just lower some setting.
You can get more FPS by reducing the resolution but it's a headache, a bunch of stuff breaks until you restore to stock resolution and restart the phone.
Newer games have a resolution slider

Yes of course. If you lower the resolution (NOT DPI) the games will render at that lowered resolution, giving a performance boost. After change of resolution you should change the DPI as well so the icon, menu and app sizes arent too big or too small

Still I don't recommend it at all. Capacitive keys break. Keyboards may get all messed up. and the performance boost is rather negligible
If you're gonna try, get ready to use mipop a bunch...
