Change LCD density and keep standard size of apps - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm trying a few different builds and noticed that some apps become smaller, is there any trick to change the density and keep the original size of apps? In Americanandroid tons I can change density and for example my ndrive navigation software runs in fullscreen but in other builds it runs smaller..
Thank you guys.

Hey, did you uncheck compatibility mode in spare parts? Don't forget to reboot after this magic trick

Latest market

Hi!
Is it possible to get the latest android market for X10 now?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870190
Working version attached. testet on 2.1 AOSP b006, but should also work with original SE firmware. have to say i don't like it that much. Design is really nice, but the old one was more intuitive to use.

Thank you
Thanks, looks great, but the words applications, games and my apps are hardly readable...but the comments on the same page and suggested related items are a nice addition...
Now I added this apk, do I still get future updates?

I think and hope so. i replaced my vending.apk before and still got the update with that added "similar" button, so it should work...
Okay, thx. But I dont see all buttons okay, it seems to be some things are stretched..., the vertical space between the installed apps is to big for no reason...

Did you ever use density changer on your recently flashed rom? Because when I did, some apps stayed "changed" even after resetting density and uninstalling density changer, e.g. Doodle jump. Not even reinstalling doodle jump helped. Perhaps this happened with your market? Just a suggestion.
Cheers

I have the same problem. My buy buttom is only half, and so are the program, game and my apps buttons too. Anyone know why?

Sorry, I only tested on custom 2.1 006 and didn't experience any problems. don't really know about original se rom
Sent from custom AOSP 2.1 using XDA App
Same problem...
Probably a glitch due to screen size for the stock SE rom as it adjusts to the location of where it would be for a less wide-screen
Buttons are only 1/2. When I clear the cache, no buttons at all.
Reverted back to old market.
Just a thought but the x10 isnt wvga. Iirc. There actually 854x480 as apposed to 800x480. Or fwvga. This may be an.issue

Right, good thought! But why does it work on custom ROM, then? Shouldn't screen size/behaviour stay the same?

possibly because the aosp is a generic rom meant for a good few devices therefore adapting its size. then these are just suggestion and not guidance, i really have no idea just providing shots in the dark
FWVGA is a support resolution for Android (see the Motorola Droid 1/2/Pro/X devices). The resolution is probably not the issue. Gotta be something with the stock ROM.
How do I go back to the original Market?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
New Market
1. Slow
2. Crashes
3. Buttons not showing properly
I tried to uninstall the update but, when I restart the market again it updates itself. Any clue as to how I can uninstall the update and make it that permanent so that it does not automatically update?
Thanks!

LCD Density and Scaling...

Many apps/games have no problem auto-scaling, but some of the most used apps/games on my phone just don't play well with my 190 density. Is there any way to force scaling or would I just have to resort to begging the app developers to implement a fix? I love my 6 rows of space, using LPP, and would hate going back to the ugly 800x600 Windows PC look lol

Don't mean to thread-jack, but I'm assuming you are using a ROM that has a different dialer than stock? Otherwise, can you tell me how you got it to work with a different density? TIA
In Spare Parts (comes with most custom ROMs, or download from market) at the bottom uncheck the "Compatibility Mode" option. Reboot your phone.

LCD Density

Did a quick search and didnt see it posted.
Changing it from 240 to 200 looks good on these like it did on the captivates. This is a sweet spot I feel for looks and without causing issues.

did you have any problems with the dialer? people reported it crashing when changing the density (but most were changing it to be HIGHER)
shiiiiit didnt try that...
ok yeah thats not cool.. damnit it looks soo good like this too.
looks like Ill be playing around and researching other moto phones to see if theres a sweet spot that works maybe something weird like a 203 or some crap
and yes everyone if you go back to stock all is well
dialer2 from market (free) works well when changing density
Thanks for the feedback. Im going to add it to the list of root apps found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099846

Smaller number means higher resolution. Make sure to use small increment changes when testing. its mostly a personal preference type thing. I think the Atrix screen looks great, much better overall than the Cap. Hold any two screens next to eachother and look at different images and you will see how different screens look better or worse depending on what your viewing. Me and my buddy had fun pitting my Atrix against his G2x just surfing though google images. Warmness softness sharpness density Screen type, many thing influence the image quality. In the end its up to your eye to decide what looks best to you.

camera app and 185 LCD Density

Hello
Im using LCD Density 185 and everything is looking better, but some apps gets crazy but I only thing that I think is most annoying is the camera app and the icons, is it possible to make the camera app look as good as it does when using standard LCD Density of 240?
thanks!

yes if you mean when remove the check from Compatibility Mode... when using CyanogenMod 7 the camera app still looks good, but when using the built in camera app from LG, Samsung etc the camera app goes crazy when changing the LCD Density.
bump!
im using the lcd density at 200 and the camera app and some other apps get weird, but i really like how it looks and im using ADW launcher ex so now im using 6x6 on the home screens and everything looks great exept for some apps
Why bump this for telling how you like it.

sorry, it was for finding a fix for the camera app and the dialer that arent resizing to the new lcd density
If the value is set below 182 , camera app will force close.
This is the lowest u can go if u want a functioning camera.
I'd be interested in knowing if the camera app can be modded to work ok on other LCD density's.
I love cognition rom at 200-220 but the camera app is the only problem as the icons are misaligned but the functionality of the app is great
I too am interested in this as i am on Cognitions rom and the camera app is a bit jumbled up on 200dpi. Also I cannot download the paid for lcd density app as it says my device is not compatible. I am using the free one but it resets with every reboot. Any ideas?

Root explorer, navigate to system, mount system r/w then edit build.prop.
Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density=240, change the 240 to whatever. I run 200.
Hit menu button, save, the original will be saved with .bak and reboot. Permanent density change

After lcd density adjust, play store shows fewer choices for apps

After adjusting the lcd density From 213 default to 175, I can't scroll past 30 apps or so in the market. It just stops, as opposed to having hundreds of choices.
Also, searching for apps I know exist, don't appear.
Anyone else having problems?

you break market by running a non standard density. You can find modified market apks or directions on how to do it yourself here at xda, so don't feel like you have to buy an app to do that.

This app does work on other devices but do not use this app on your nexus 7, the current version soft-bricks your nexus and you have to flash the stock image from google and lose everything. maybe a future version will work but this will not help you. (no fault of yours to suggest this!)
I am having the same problem with market
AND the copy and paste bar wont appear after lowering <= 175
