Hi
I've been reading over the forums for a bit now, checking up on how to increase the screen res of my MDA. I pulled down the ozVga app and ran that, but that didn't seem to work for me, it just made some of my fonts bigger, but the screen size stayed the same.
I also tried going into the Registry with Total Commander but I don't seem to have the HKLM\Drivers\Display\GWE folder where you can modify the LogicalPixels setting manually. I have a CxScreen and a CyScreen that had 240 and 320 as values. I tried updating those to 480 and 640, but after a soft reset nothing happened.
Any thoughts on how I can accomplish a higher screen res?
Model No: WIZA200
ROM Version 2.26.10.2 WWE
Thanks
You can't increase screen resolution, the physical size is 320x240. You can remove pixels and give the appearance of a larger screen at the expense of being able to read anything on it but it takes more than a couple of registry settings. A lot more. Check out http://nyditot.com/Home.asp which does what I described above. Last time I checked it sort of worked on a wizard but had a tendency to lock mine solid.
I know I'm gonna get it for asking........
How specifically do you change the lcd density? They all have this line.......
"lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen #"
So where is the actual setting? Does it need to go somewhere between the quotes at the bottom where the width and height settings are?
I really apologize for being so clueless...... I am obviously missing something that is very simple.
Ok I got. Seems there are a few builds I just can't get to run. Would like to try the new hero.... at least Ion & Donut run.
directly after your resolution, write: lcd.density=xxx
Hero requires 160 donut you can use whatever, 120 is ideal
Thanks got it going.
I have better keyboard pro but I am running hyperdroid which has the density set at 167, making the keyboard smaller.
Is there any way that I can make the better keyboard bigger?
Im not sure, as i havent tried that rom, but if you have spare parts installed, try turning off compatibility mode, reboot and see if it works. or you can always edit your build.prop lcd density.

There's an app in the market called LCD density changer, you could try that..
I would personally like to know this too. I would like to have low density with a normal size keyboard. I have tried turning off compatibility mode.
ive done a little testing myself now, running hyperdroid and same key board. i couldnt get it to work right til i un-installed it after turning compat mode off and restarting. so maybe it will work for you this way,,, un-install it, turn compat mode off and resart, best to turn off phone then back on really. after re-start, re-install and see if it is full screen. good luck!
Same issue here. Interesting problem -- the HyperDroid rom with CM7 on my HD2 *came* with a 167 density setting (tiny fonts) but a large keyboard (sized as if density were 240). I wanted to change the size a bit and set the density to 200, and then the keyboard got *smaller*. Now they are correlated and I can't get back to the way it was originally. Love to hear if anyone has this figured out. There must be a separate setting somewhere for the keyboard size.
hey all
as i found, we edit /system/build.prop as follow
change
qemu.hw,mainkeys=0 can enable softkey
change
ro.sf.lcd.density=240 we can change the resolution ratio
but when i change the value of ro.sf.lcd.density from 240 to 260 and reboot
the screen size of HD2 become ugly, font size are too big and cover one by one.
and the icon became more big too
which parameter can i change to fix this issue
all i want to do is resize the bottom navigation bar without changing anything else.
my current ROM is HD2 android [4.0.4][720p] NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a [NativeSD]
hope you guys can help me
I usually find mine in the settings & set it to around 24 so that it can be as small as possible

yes, but i try to find a usual method to config it out, many of ROMs doesn't give a UI support of this issue
OP, try to follow these instructions

The density setting in build.prop changes every size onscreen not just the bottom like you need.

How to adjust your DPI without root, I believe the current DPI is around 300 I could be wrong.
To adjust the DPI follow the steps below, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT.
Open settings and scroll all the way down to About
Open Software Information
Tap the build number quickly a couple times till it says "You're now a developer"
Head back into the main settings page and open the new Developer Options
Enable USB debugging
Install ADB on your computer (there are plenty of tutorials out there if you don't know how)
Start ADB and check if you see your device by typing
Code:
adb devices
If you see your phone go ahead and type
Code:
adb shell wm density 250
Reboot your phone to apply the effects system wide.
250 is the DPI set which I think looks the best for me. Adjust how you like it
NOTE: IT WILL LOOK WEIRD AT FIRST, REBOOT YOUR PHONE!
This is a great method. Use it often. Couple more commands:
Code:
adb shell wm density reset (set to default)
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 (emulate whatever resolution)
adb shell wm size reset (set to default)
What Screen Resolution have you chosen?

I noticed in the pics from your review consisted of smaller icons. I am assuming you changed the DPI to 250. I would like to know if you have tinkered with your screen resolution as well. If yes can you show us some screenshots? Does that have any other benefits like battery performance and processing speed?

Yes, you're correct the dpi was changed. There's no performance gain I see. I do this so I can fit more on the screen at once within apps, while browsing etc... For me this is half the value of an HD device - you can shrink stuff down to fit 2x as much, but tiny text still remains comfortably legible.
This can also be done within terminal emulator. For me, not successful unless entering su.
nice way to adjust animations on your phone..its now fast without the animation by the way i need help i accidentally touch the Logger Buffer Sizes....its under settings..developer options...scroll down you will see. logger buffer sizes...now there are number to choose from..64k..256k...1m...4m...16m.... now would like to ask if what is your default value in your phone"? want to do default...whats the diffence it do when you change those settings 64...256...etc....tnx

Mine is 256k. That should be how much data is held in the logs.
thanks...got it...it just goes to default by itself when closing developer option......
This is pretty cool, is there an adb command to readout the density what ever it's currently set at?
I ended up at 390, it gives a nice 5x5 grid.
Thanx, work fine! A little notice: Asus Powermanagment end in force closed when you change the DPI. Went back to orig. 480 and it works, when you need it
And next big issue Swift key doenst work with changed DPI. When changed i saw only a few very!! big letters. Keyboard not useable.
Thanks OP!
The issue with swiftkey is well known and documented, just search Google for it (XDA says I don't have enough posts to post links yet). It looks like there's a fix, but it requires root. I switch to the Google keyboard and it works fine with modified DPI.
FYI, density setting of 460 is the lowest (stock is 480) that will keep the widget width taking up the whole screen for wide widgets. Makes everything a little sharper than stock, which was needed.
The hardware keys below the screen also stop working when the screen resolution is changed.

ZenMotion touch gestures config also crashes.
As for swiftkey, you could probably use xposed appsettings to adjust its dpi/dp settings.

I have test it with AppSettings at first but no luck or i do something wrong. I have set DPI to 480 all other at default but same as before.

Try a different DPI. 480 is extreme and some apps simply won't work properly at such a high setting.
After doing this, how to revert to the original one???

Tasar, I stand corrected. 480 it is.
