A silly question, but, some Android applications only use a small part of the screen, is there a simple way to change this? e.g. solitaire
Uncheck the Run in compatibility mode in spare parts app, or change the lcd density.

OzVGA is totally killing me. I have spent hours trying to make mu ozVGA setting work, but bloody thing is just do small.
After applying the VGA .dll's WHAT OZVGA SETTINGS DO YOU USE???
When i switch from seVGA to ozVGA things just go crazy small.
WHAT'S WRONG???
in oz im using these settings
1200 not bold
1350 not bold
19

750,900,975,1200,1500
The font arrays relate to the text size slider in the screen settings
I'm using the same font sizes for true VGA and for the qVGA-mode. It means that fonts are small on the screen but oh so beautiful! Larger font sizes just made certain things look ugly, which kinda defeated the purpose of switching to VGA, IMHO.
I guess it depends what you're using your Universal for. Most of the apps I'm using allow me to scale their fonts so when I need larger fonts I can have them. Only the Microsoft apps have unscalable fonts...
Make sure you have the text size set to medium in the Screen control panel applet. I found that it helps to turn Cleartype OFF as well.
And I wear glasses
what about phone app, myne goes all funny, and very small. I can barely see numbers, and the whole keypad just stays at the corner of the screen. that,s abir annoying.
and I think I will have to wear glasses very soon with text size like that.
svyatko - this is all being discussed in the other thread, with suggestions for replacements etc...

i was wodnering is it possible to change the options at the bottom of the screen with this? i mean currently it has Launcher and Contacts is it possible to change and add more? as well as changing the ones that are already there?
im looking at the main site but its quite hard to understand what you can do with it
i am also unsure what res version to get for it as i thought the res of Touch HD was 800 x 460 but thats not an option to download - am i missing something?
apparently, after changing my screen density to 182, these are the problems i found:
camera app - preview at bottom right hand corner does not scale according to the square.
phone - dialer does not scale.
calculator - does not scale.
apparently i think these problems can be rectified after i came across this thread

i tried the apks at the thread but it's only suitable for galaxy s and not galaxy tab.
i do not have the knowledge to do edit .xml files. anyone knows how to???
I've been thinking about this recently and wondering if there was a way to band-aid this problem. I'm running a 220 lcd density and would like to go higher res (lower lcd density) but apps that I use and like start breaking.
Ie :
- the email program in landscape
- words with friends
- native web browser address bar
Anyone know of an easier way than hacking the apk xml files?

Hi, I would like to use a note 3 with external monitor when im away from home but I would prefer more real estate. Is there a way to trick android into thinking it is a larger screen and reduce the icon sizes shown. By this I specifically want to be able to program on it so reducing the font size to show more of the document on the screen would be great.
Thanks for any suggestions.

How did you manage to do this without rooting?
I dropped my phone. Now, one strip of the screen (where the address bar in Chrome is) is no longer responsive to my touch.
I've come up with a workaround: using Nomone resolution changer to lower the screen height to avoid the problematic screen parts.
This is not ideal because the app removes screen size from both the top and the bottom, so I waste valuable screen real estate. Is there any app or any way I can adjust the screen height from only the top and not the bottom? Alternatively, feel free to suggest other workarounds

You can change system DPI in build.prop.
