The system display settings won't allow it, but some apps can (aldiko reader)?
Is there a way to make the sytem brightness go lower?

Try "screen filter", find it on the market. It works great for me.

Go settings-screen-uncheck auto brightness and set it using slider.

Sure, but even with the slider on lowest it's not even close to lowest.
I downloaded some apps and they work, but I'd like to jave it working without needless 3rd party apps

I'd like a bit more hi Res on my desktop and have heard u can change the density. Can anyone rwccomend a good setting or offer advice on this?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
You need to edit your build.prop found in /system.
Find the line,
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=
The default value on most ROMs is 240.
Anything lower will give the impression of a higher resolution.
Can u recommend a setting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I usually run 220 on MIUI without any problems. And 190 on CM7.
Some apps don't scale to the new resolution.
Ok I thought adjusting this would make things smaller. But I see no visible difference

What ROM are you using?
It should make things smaller, It won't however give you more widget locations. You'd need to use LauncherPro for that.
Using leedroid 3.1.3
A friend has a hd2 and is set at 167 is it wise to go that low with dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I've never gone below 180. Not through fear, just happy with how it looks.
167 may be a little low. You won't do any damage by trying.
I'm running 160 on CM without any problems whatsoever(but be aware that you have to disable compatibility mode in spare parts). If it doesn't look smaller, then you're not doing something right... How did you change the value?

Did you reboot after saving it?
Dose any one know of a way where I could set up my phone to where I could set it to have swype when in portrait and a different keyboard when in landscape?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
The easiest thing you could do is use a downloaded keyboard such as FlexT9 or SlideIt that allows you to type in Swype style or standard tapping keyboard all on the same keyboard without any menus. Just tap when you wanna tap and swype when you wanna swype. I do that on one of my phones
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I know I can do that, but I really like using "hackers keyboard" in land scape and swype in portrait. Third would be especially nice if I could do that too on my xoom
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Ok. What you need is the application called Tasker. Basically, it allows you to run things and change settings based on various conditions of your phone. Its an automation app.
One of the conditions you can choose to use is the orientation of your phone. So in Tasker you would set it to change tthe proper setting (keyboard) on orientation change and it will begin to do this on its own.
That's all I can think of.

Thanks man, il check it out

After about three hours of playing with tasker, which I got to admit is absolutely awesome app, it doesn't not however allow for two different keyboards to be used one in portrait and a different one in landscape

I'm sorry it won't let you do it the way you want it to. I just tried it. The only thing I could get it to do was when I turned it landscape, to open up the 'Input Method' options. But that's a pain in the ass. I really am sorry it won't do what you need. That was honestly the only thing I could think of that would do what you want without using a keyboard that does both.
Heu dont get me wrung its a great app that I'm already hooked in.and will be on my phone fire some time to come. I wounder what it would take to write and app that will do it. I have some apps I've made, but most are informational, and one interactive to control my dvr. Gauss il just have to start playing with it

You're not alone. I like that CM7 has that feature, but sometimes it's very buggy I guess. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does.
I have never been able to get this to work, and I have even increased the LCD density to ridiculous levels just to have a larger bar to swipe on.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
OK, at least I know it's not just me. I even tried tuning off status bar dead area thinking it might be that.
Any alternatives for changing brightness on the fly?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yeah, the status bar brightness doesn't really work vary well for me ether. I had to add a brightness toggle power widget to the notification bar. brightness mode at auto / dim / 25% /50% / 75% / 100%
There's a really great app developed specifically for CM7 on the Nook called RecentPlus over in the themes and apps forum. It replaces your long press home with a recent apps dialog that contains recent apps, plus brightness and volume sliders.
Recent plus fits the job rather nicely, thanks for the suggestion.
Wish is defaulted to brightness slider instead of volume, or remembered your last choice... But now I'm nit picking.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Hit the settings button once you're in the app and those options are available

How about using the tasker app (Google it). Bit of a learning curve but amazing when u get used to it.

You could try http://www.appbrain.com/app/smart-rotator/net.xdevelop.rotator_t it's what use on DHD but i turn off auto rotate in system settings then allow via smart rotator the programs want to rotate Browser/Album/Messaging etc.
Just re-read post may not be what after...

Tried the app (Im on Cm7 atm), and it seems to completely turn off the autp correction as soon as you open the app. When you exit it the other things doesnt rotate.

Jus run through the settings one by one and deselect anything that sounds like it might waste battery. Qslide, knock on, all nice touches but both waste that extra bit of juice and I can do without.
Enjoy
Ok thanks also what screen brightness do you have yours on?

Dude, why are you asking us? How can we know what brightness do you like? Which settings do you need? Just explore and try everything yourself.

Sound advice. I have tried daily at 50 60 70% and full. Personally I find full brightness too bright for web browsing.

A he never asked that. He asked what brightness do YOU have it on. You do know people do this all the time. Just look into monitors at Hard forums. People love to know all the settings people use. People will say they get the best battery life with.. and then post.
Ok so I have it set up using nova Launcher just like on my note 3 I'm loving the tablet so far only this that's annoying me is the bar with the touch buttons at the end, as in when I'm using apps I don't get the full screen I guess it's something I will just have to get used to.

or just root and use one of the many apps. If you install the G2 xposed framwork you can make it really small. or if you install UDN Lite you can select auto hide
Do I have to root to use one of those apps?

Yes, it has to have access the system files (for G2 xposed) so yes...
