I found this Aldiko program and previously it worked perfectly. I am not sure what resolution I was running at, I think it was 320 x 428 though. It fit perfectly on the screen.
Now that I am running 240 x 320 , title pages are fine, but as I flip through, the pages are skewed off of the screen to the left so you cannot read the leftmost words, and to the right, you can see the first word on the following page. It makes it impossible to read anything
Does anyone have ideas about how to fix this besides going back to a 320x428 screen size? I haven't had success tweaking the columns in the program's own settings.
I greatly appreciate any help on this!!!
The same is happening to me. I think it's due to the resolution you have.
The application assumes a width when it's another. The offset is wrong and it's added up on every page, so it never gets the correct focus.
Did you change your lcd.density to 110? You need 110 for 240x320 to fit correctly.

I'm not sure about this - I am using DZO 240x320 flashed to NAND - whatever the default is that is what I have.
Is there any way to check / change this with NAND? I know how to do it on the MicroSD card using default.txt but am new to NAND.
Greatly appreciate the help!
hey
you need to have ur res at 320x480 for alot of apps. they make there builds with diff res because the screen looks a bit more clear at the lower qvga res. But then u miss out on alot of apps which i think kills the purpose of an android phone... u will have to flash it with ur own data.img that u make with haret (after u run haret it makes a data.img but make sure ur default.txt has its res 320x480 and the lcd density to 160). Then u follow the directions here and use the 320x480.nbh then after u flash u have to adb into your phone to /system/build.prop and change the lcd density to 160.
i cannot get mine to adb so i cant fix my density and alot of the apps i use need to be at 320x480 so i am just going to buy a hero tonight. hopefully u have better luck with it then me.

Haha enjoy the hero, wish I could have one. I'm trying to see how long I can hold out, hanging on to my Vogue and $30 SERO.
That really stinks if 320x480 is required, I really can't survive in that resolution. Sure you can tweak the density but it never really works well for me, the text is too small in Maps and that is probably the most vital function for my phone.
really i think 320x480 looks great with maps (including the words) lol.. slowly more apps are getting qvga resolutions apparently. I hope i like the hero i heard the battery life is worse then the vogue with android lol.
I have version of Aldiko which works seamlessly on 240 x 320, I will try to post later tonight, it is freeware.

Yeah I couldn't deal with the words - the map looked nice but the words I could not read well enough for while I'm driving
that's crazy that Vogue has better battery life than Hero... guess they got shafted.

have anyone succesfully tried to changed pixel density on our device? if you did, please leave a comment - i'd like to know which app and rom you used. thanks in advance.
btw. is it possible to lower the resolution on android devices? (resolution, not density, some people seem not to realise that these are two different things)

You can change densyti in build.prop about 140 and 150 looks very good but apps does not show properly.
Anybody know how to change resolution?

Hi again,
i have problem, my hp pavilion dv5 have 1280x800 screen and i cannot split screen in windows 8 like on screenshot. I know i must have min.1366x768 screen but maybe there is option to unlock this option in lower resolution.
Possible I guess. By using the resolution hack, I think you may achieve split screen. It's using the netbook screen res method, you hack the registry to show more screen resolution options. Gives you more, but it looks cramped, blurry, with uneven pixel density. That's putting more pixels than the actual screen may support. Another method you can use is plugging an external display that supports 1366x768 and up. This will definitely allow you to have that split screen.

res registry hack doesn't work anymore. Haven't found a way to do this yet.
Okay, solved. If you have nVidia you can add other resolution via nVidia Control Panel. Now I can split on my 1280x800 screen with resolution 1366x856
ATI Radion HD?
Hi all
I have the same native resolution as the OP but my laptop has an ATI Radion HD graphics card.
Does anybody know how to add an additional resolution with this type of card?
Thanks and God bless
andrew-in-woking
Check ATI software, maybe there is option to add the "adjusted resolution".
I checked it in nVidia software and Intel also ( HD 3000 ), and i can add other resolution ( higher than native ).
Regards
I use an nVidia based Graphics Card and this is how I change my resolution, in case anyone wanted to try it out! And yes, snapping works perfectly after this but your monitor might not display it all very clearly.
I have a Dell monitor as you can see in the screenshot running on a native resolution of 1280x1024, just like the OP's! \
After changing the resolution from 720p to 768 by my Radeon,its looking bad,I wanna know that, it shud look bad isn't it,I mean it's obvious to look bad in upgraded or downgraded resolution?can't we do sumthing 2 run those apps in 720p,well if sum1 mod the apps into compatible resolution...well this may b a noobie question,well I don't wanna use those apps in BAD LOOKING SCREEN THAT'S ALL

What I have observed from using Split Screen is that, each app has a minimum running width of 1024px wide, anything lower and it will look cropped and uneven. So even if somehow the people at XDA bypass that option and allow snapping at lower resolutions, it will still look bad.
It's not such a great feature either, you keep getting confused on what's running and hard to concentrate on one app when there are two taking up the screen. Multitasking was made for the desktop version and it should stay that way in my opinion
Hey guys
Just downloaded this app called Texdroider DPI and changed from 480 (defult) to 450 or 400 or 380(current) 320.
If anybody wants try go ahead... it looks bit nicer..
WARNING : DO NOT CHANGE LESS THAN 320 !!! PHONE MIGHT NOT BOOT !!! OR HOME SCREEN WILL BE CRASHING
MIN : 320
MAX: 480
I haven't tried higher than default 480 ...
Only rooted phones ...

Yup!!! Same issue but I don't mind for the time being.
I usually use FlipBoard (RSS) and the extra screen estate is so much better.

why I change from 480 (defult) to 450 or 400 or 380 or 320
what I get from I do it that ...?
@ Simona Simmy: Thx for the advice! I changed to DPI 380 (320 was a little bit too small for me) and it really is a relief compared to 480, which i find horrible and impossible to work with.
@ baso2000: See it like working with a VGA-resolution (low resolution) on the screen of your desktop PC. In VGA everything looks very big and you don't have a lot of screen space. If you change the resolution (higher) everything will become smaller and you can view full pages on one screen without scrolling. It's the same as working in DPI 480 and changing that to DPI 380 or 320. You have more screen real estate and everthing becomes smaller (no need to scroll) and your phone is more like a tablet.

Btw, the only negative I could find with changing to DPI 380 is that the EMUI camera app doesn't change. The capture button is not at the bottom of the screen, but in the middle.... :silly:

For fix this, use Xposed with Appsetting. You can choose DPI per app with this. Some apps (like camera) doesn't like dpi under 480. I use Appsetting to set defaut DPI. And camera works well with it.
There is a thread for xposed on mate 7. Read it because you have too use an old version. The newest will not work.
I changed to 400 and wow it look so much sharper than when i opened it and the screnn looks even bigger as well
Thanksa
Yes, with stock, It's like use a 25" Pc's screen, with VGA definition....
Hello guys. Can you post some shots of your screen with the differents dpi? I'd like to see if it makes a big difference before i make it on my phone. Thanks.
OK, some screenshots with 360dpi but i'm with nova launcher.
The title says it all. What lcd_density do you use most with your Note 4?
440-480...perfect
I always use 480
I like the stock 640. My eyes suck so 640 makes everything nice and big and easy to see.

I swear there was a thread on the App Settings that should be reset for apps on the note 4 with modified lcd_densitys but I can't find it. I just read it yesterday and even a search through my browser history yields no results Is it just me or do our subconscious minds create false memories sometimes just to mess with us and see how the conscious mind reacts?
I'm running 560 right now.

Funny. Yesterday I put my DPI @ 580. Looked nice and compact. This morning, it looks like it's back to 640 (normal). Ha ha eyes already adjusted to 580. Guess I'll be lowering that number very soon. BTW, is there a rule-of-thumb for the number we choose for the dpi?Such as to keep the number even? Keep it on 10's?
