hey guys i was wondering if there is any way (or maybe app? ) to change the display settings on hd2 or android in general
i searched some other threads but somehow nobody knows how it goes^^
Try lcd density changer. I found a few in appbrain market, finally found one that works on my hd2, check your default before changing anything though, the first one i tried for some reason when i rebooted my screen was black, like i could touch things and feel the haptic but no screen. I had to clean install my android rom. I think the hd2 is default 240 and i went to 220 and it was cool. Some apps dont scale right but others are fine, and the font is much crisper imo

LCD density changer doesn't seem to change contrast/saturation but only pixel density/resolution.
Is there a way to change dispaly contrast or saturation?
Been looking for this too..
The Desire HD should* have the same screen as the hd2, am i right?
why is it that the colors are a bit more saturated in the desire hd? it must be a software issue, no?

Just made my first android app.
I'm really confused about one thing. How to rightly simulate different android mobile screens with the android sdk.
Im trying to simulate the HTC Desire screen. But ive problems getting my app looking the same in simulated screen (avd) as it does on a real htc desire.
This is the example i am using:
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S phone, and my friend has got a HTC Desire.
When i install my app wht the default HVGA-avd on my pc , it shows exactly as on my samsung galaxy-phone. But the app doesnt show the same on the android-avd compared to the real htc desire phone.
Ive attached in this post 2 links to screendumps, that shows the app on avd(htc desire simulator) and the app on a real htc desire phone.
- link: home.c2i.net/hkhan/real_htc.jpg : this is a screendump with the app running on a real htc desire phone.
- link: home.c2i.net/hkhan/avd_htc.jpg : this is a screendump with the app running on the avd.
In the AVD (htc desire spec) the whole app-screen gets showed, with the button numbers from 1 to 9. But when i run the app on a real htc desire: Only the numbers up to 6 get shown, as in the picture. I dont see what im doing wrong....i need to get the avd similar to the real thing, or else i would not be able to test my app properly.
Ive got my friend to send me his htc-desire specs. this is what we get when he run the app 'tDpiInfo' on our mobiles. Both the htc desire and samsung has got the same specs as following:
Density:1.5
Density dpi:240dpi
Screen layout size=Normal
Aspect Ratio: long WQVGA,WVGA,FWVGA
Height px: 800px
Width pixels 480px

The only difference between the galaxy and desire i get is:
Desire:
Xdpi: 254 dpi
Ydpi: 254 dpi
screen size: 3.7"
Galaxy:
Xdpi: 234 dpi
Ydpi: 236 dpi
Screen size: 3.7"

I have set my pc monitor resolution to
Screen resolution: 1366x768
Screen: 15,6" widescreen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have set the Android AVD for htc desire with the following:
-WVGA800(480x800) AND HIGH DENSITY(240)
-scale density to real size with: screen size 3.7"
-monitor dpi 100 (screen size 15,6" and Resolution 1366 x 768 for my dell studio 1555)
-scale 0,40.

Any suggestions and help will be very very appriciated. thanx.
Did you check Android Development and Hacking and then the subforum Android Software Development?
Seems to be the best place to search for, or ask, a question like this one. Your question has nothing to do with this Desire subforum
Hello Fellow Clockwork recovery users
question in regards to the resolution of the recovery screen on the wildfire
is it just me or does it not quite fit the screen corectly? like word wrap is turned on? looking at other images on the net it looks diffrent, like its fit better.
is there a setting or config i can mess with to fix this
sorry for bad english im dislexic
Cybertyk
The other images u saw are from phones with much higher resolution screens which can accomadate more text per line. We have a very low res 240x320 screen, with which you either can't fit everything or you have to make the text smaller making it harder to read. In clockworkmod readability is given preference over fitting everything.

I thought that might be the case thank you for sorting it out. Shame there is not a configuration that gives you the option lol.

Different ROMs use different graphics.
Colour banding happens because the screen of the HD2 is 16 million colours instead of 32 million colours. To see this effect on your home computer, change the monitor settings to 16m from 32m.
If you have an image that changes colour progressively then banding is going to happen i'm afraid. The only way to avoid banding is to use images with block colours.
If, however, you are both using the same phone and same ROM, then I am lost as to the reason you've both experiencing different visual effects.
It could also be that your screen is starting to break down, if u see colour distortion also in official wm6.5 ROMs i would return it for repair.
Bot me and my brother had the same problem, colours fading away or not looking correct, HTC does np in fixing it (atleast here), got our screens replaced within 3 weeks
Thank you i will go to a/s center..
without pay..?

Oh well, I was still right then, 65k colours would certainly cause banding.

I don't think its a hardware problem... its just that the hd2 only has 65,000 colors while other android phones have 16million, so unless you use a launcher that gets rid of the banding, you will see banding. The HD2 wasn't meant to run android... it doesn't have the colors to support what the OS wants to display.
I think launcher pro will get rid of banding.... it all depends on what launcher you're using.
Does your friend that doesn't have banding have a HD2? What launcher is he using?
My launcher is default miui launcher..

So what does this do....

With AWD Launcher i now get a screen with 6 x 6 (columns,rows). I finally get to use the big screen on the Desire HD.
Compatability?
Well i have no idea what sense would do and themes may have issue alone with some apps.
i know that Camera360 Ultimate don't like this until you run in hardware compatibility mode.
But ill never go back to ro.sf.lcd_density=240
This command is in the build.prop file located in the system folder. I recommend 'Root Explorer' for editing. And its all done at your own risk, always backup
FYI, i even did this to my Desire, not HD, and its just brilliant.
I also run at 200dpi, I find if you take it any lower that compatibility starts to become an issue and some games don't look nice in 70% screen usage. Personally I use ES File Explorer to do the editing of build.prop
wont sense be incompatible with this dpi setting?
that screen is so cluttered. I like mine to be open with everything big, easy to see and press. Plus the app drawer is where I keep most my apps
reminds me of an iphone

I'm running CleanDHD which comes with 190 DPI, and i love it. My screen is way bigger now!
Have found three small glitches, but apps and games runs perfectly.
Confirm that troubles occurs with Camera360 but it's usable. Another application having problems with DPI=190 is CalWidget... it just displays an exception instead of my agenda....

can you send the Camera360 dev an email explaining what happens. i don't think that they understood what i was on about
Could you also test wide screen shots with zoom, full zoom or half zoom. I found that it crashes the app at dpi 240 or 200 for me.
cheers,
To save editing the build.prop you can download lcd density changer from the market. A bit easier I find.
I found that sense worked at 190dpi with a glitch on the lockscreen.

the problem with LCD density changer
is that the change doesn't survive reboots, where as changing build.prop does.
I may have missed something but can't get Camera360 crash...
2 other app that are not perfect :
- the stock dialer is too small the dialer part
- freecell has problems too

I have LCD Density changer 5.3 and works perfect for me. Even with a reboot.
I don't see myself going above 180dpi anymore, I just love the screen estate I get with this. Also looks much cleaner.
This is with dpi on 170 and I'm thinking of going lower, the keyboard stays the same size so I go nothing got lose
I installed virtuous unity and I notice that in the phone application I can see the first 6 contacts over the virtual keyboard.
With standard sense for desire z (virtuous sense) I can only see my first 3-4 contacts.
This because virtuous unity is ported from a device with more resolution (I think) but the effect is great!
I hate the standard sense because I can't set the text size.
Large text is good for people that have vision problems, but I don't have, and I would like a rom with "less zoom" to see more objects in my screen.
I switch continuously from sense and cm7, I love cm7 and AOSP for the text size
PS: Spare parts have an options to resize the text, but don't work with all the sense applications. I hate the space waste of senseee!!! but I love sense services and beauty

I don't need a dpi changer.. change dpi in sense roms don't works.
I would love a sense rom with the text dimension and proportions of sense 3.0 ported from other bigger screen terminal.
I think that in bigger screen terminale htc makes smaller proportions in sense..
So an htc HD2 sense rom ported to htc desire z would be great (I think)
Someone can confirm?
