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?

Hi,honestly, I'm a HTC sense lover, however due to the animation of sense, i switched to Launcher pro...and HTC sense just feels like WINMO most of the time...Is it possible to make HTC sense got the fly-in effect when quitting or enter an application?

erm...Do you use Launcher pro or iphone before?it's the effect of the screen fade in/out animation when we enter or quit an application...i think it's pretty cool,if we can put this feature into HTC sense...
You cant get it without having another launcher.

Hi,just tried spare part from the market...but it doesn't work on my froyostone build.Anyway, thanks a lot, get to know one new app...switched back to launcher pro...
Try ADW.Launcher, it has the fly in effect when opening and closing the app drawer. It is also much more flexible on the desktop grid layout.
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?

The Desire HD uses an S-LCD were as the HD2 has a normal LCD
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've switched from HTC Diamond2 (windows mobile 6.5x) to S/E Arc, and I miss the HTC interface.
Is it possible to load the android equivalent to this hardware?

thanks
Thanks vegetaleb for the reply! I see that it is possible to mimic the home screen layout really well. However, what Im looking for was the part of Sense that handled calendar related stuff like booking a meeting. In detail, I liked how the clock was changed like it was on a spinning wheel - which made it possible to change the time really fast. Maybe there is something similar in the Android world?
I am missing some Sense apps as well, like the slide down Alarm that you will never find in other apps, if it was a Nexus One with 90% same components as HTC own phones you can ''port'' Sense into it by a custom rom, but when the hardwares are totally different here it's very difficult to do it.
SGS devs tried to port Desire rom but they never could, and they tried hard...
I hope you didn't see the new Sense 3.0, you will return to HTC once Sensation is out

The phones hardware is identical to (apart from smaller storage,screen etc) to the Desire HD, it would be very portable to this device although the smaller storage would make it harder.
Small storage is not a problem, on N1 the DHD port was working great thanks to EXT3 of 1gb on SD
I'm stuck on 190, haven't gone lower since SD days on americanandroid. Anything higher just makes things seems big for the screen IMO
well i use 167 and i'm happy ....my phone looks bigger with 240 it looks like u have 2" screen
Mines set to 200.
I would go smaller but I can't be bothered editing my dock again lol.
i get use to ...when i first flashed typhoon rom ...i said what's that the android icon had the same size like my face any way ...it's question of taste
set to 210
stuck with the basic 240. i play lots of games and many just run with a small screen when when the density is too lower, unchecking compatibility mode doesnt always work either. I like it though, don't need to squint to see things lol
Mine is set to 240dpi
mines at 217 and looks great
I stay with 240. I seem to get along with it just fine.
Standard Hyperdroid of 167, works great, only a few apps don't work properly, but most of them do.
My HD2 is set to 231
167 is just too small for keyboard and others, its a huge 4.3" screen so why doing that??
my rom is "sense of eclipse" (sense 3.0), the smoothest, fastest, coolest ( ) and most stable sense rom (maybe the best rom i had... ).
im on 167. i use 6x8 widgets/shortcuts on the home screen (hyperdroid rom).
is there a way to get similar configuration on a sense-based rom?
200 set for now. i think i'll give 190 a try.
167 is doing just fine with me.

Good point....not sure what mine is....got standard Pyramid sense 3.0 ROM installed, so i presume it's 220 or 240?
Gonna have a lil mess about now and see what looks best.
Might bore everyone with a few screen shots at different density sizes...lol

once again the rom you are using is NOT sense 3.0
it is sense 2.1 with the sense 3.0 rosie port and and other sense 3.0 stuff
from seo
if you dont believe me just ask Daekin
200 density is good enough for me.

some pointless screens...lol........
