[MOD] How to increase your resolution

In order to increase your resolution on the arc you need the phone to be rooted and get root explorer from the market (You can use ADP too)
Here are the steps:
1. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/
2. Mount the folder as r/w
3. Long press the build.prop file and select edit in text editor
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and look for r0.sf.lcd_density=240
5. Change it to r0.sf.lcd_density=194 (I find 194 works the best, d4rkwind prefers 180 see post#28)
6. Save and Exit
7. Reboot your phone and you should now have a higher resolution.
8. To ensure that all apps span full screen install spareparts from the market and uncheck "Compatibility Mode"
The stock launcher app will not work too well with the new resolution, Try ADW launncher as thats what I use.

Reserved for future use.

Or u could just get lcd density chsnger on market lol does same thing

Dear Tasos you are wrong, with this magic trick your display turns into a retina display, the one that iphone4 use! And maybe capable of 3D.. lol

Does 194 work Facebook and Market? I tried 210 (my favorite) previously but Facebook and Market didn't fill the screen which made it look quite awful..

Thanks for this guide worked like a charm

For some reason LCD density changer did not work and slowed my system down.
Have not tried it on .184 firmware, the issue was on .181

It works fine on mine the lcd density thing organist I having seen any lag or slowing down.god knows im on 181 also

im curious towards doing this as it looked good on my old HD2, however im curious to see how some of the stock apps, specifically the Music and Messaging app looks with this density..would you mind taking a screenshot of those perhaps?..
thanks.

I've tried!It's interesting!But it doesn't increase the resolution.It's actually something like zooming out.You can find this feature in windows also ,as a magnifier.

We should have 815mhz as a clock setting it would be the best co efficient

Well as far as I have noticed , on 10% the phone just dies - no warning popup .
Second it freeze's a alot - A LOT . In M4 it wasn't an issue at all - it never happen'd to me , but in M5 it just freeze's not while im using it ( screen on ) but sometimes ( wich is very often ) it freeze's while screen is off - it doesn't turn on , but the phone itself is working and screen come's back when some1 call's me . I had this same issue in M2 .
But all in all GREAT update , I am very satisfied with the new battery life , also the speed increase is really significant and noticable , smooth and snapy .
If the bug's are fixed in next release we will be one step closer to having the perfect ROM . I personaly would like to see native DivX/Xvid , and wireless hardware altough i don't use it . With this done ROM is nearly perfect , best one out there .
M4urik GREAT WORK MATE - REALLY APRICIATED . If you would ever hapen to find yourself visiting Macedonia , i owe you a LOT of beer .

The Flash_all_no_wipe)(fastboot) ? i havnt a clue what that is , i can guess that it dosnt wipe anything but some1 else explain it to me?
Advantages or disadvantages or wipe vs not wipe?
What one should i pick?

Backup everything and wipe I found its just a cleaner faster install
Also has to be said mur4iks work is awesome and I agree once the bugs are fixed perfect rom just need to find all bugs address them and small improvements more clock settings etc
Also on PC you can use an SD card as like a ram booster or temp ram is there a way we can utilize our 16-32 gig SD cards to do the same and speed up our phone's??
I think this would also minimize crashing freezing etc as this usually happens when system memory is low

Another bug if you search contacts in messaging it will freeze and you have to re boot

i have a problem with data2system. i installed the data2system version of this rom with recovery, and after i installed, i kept geting boot loops...its being looping for like 40min and still no change.
PLEASE HELP!! and also, can anyone send me an apk of the M5 version of livewallpaper picker.apk?? cos thats removed in data2system.

Quick question , think I know what it is just getting a second opinion, I factory data my m5 cleared cache etc, look at my phone memory, at 100mb came back 5hours later to a look its now at 92mb didn't install any apps or anything, ideas?

Steps 4 d2s-version:
-go to recovery - mounts & storage
-only format system & cache => do NOT make a full format

Freezing launcher

Hey guys!
I've got a problem with my launcher (GO Launcher EX)...when I use another app, which needs more free RAM, it freezes for about 3 seconds and I have to wait for about 10 seconds when my all apps are shown in App Drawer...
Where's the problem? (sry for my english)
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

What ROM?
What ROM are you using? There's a setting in Cyanogen Mod that forces the launcher to stay. You can also use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126940 , which is a mod that changes the way the RAM works for performance and to keep the home launcher application running.

I'm running on Mur4ik's RC1 ROM....I'm checking this option right now, I gonna try if it helps
I read about V6 script, but I don't want it. Instead of it I'm using Autokiller Memory Optimizer, which I think is same as V6 script

Yes, it's the same. CyanMod 7 has an option to lock home in memory under "Performance". Also, GO Launcher may also have such a feature. I don't know, I use LauncherPro. Good luck

Now I'm using LauncherPro, too and it works! many thanks for both of you

This. Your phone is not like your PC, so stop treating it like one. The way Android treats memory, having high RAM usage is actually a good thing. Not to mention that aside from being useless and counterproductive, task killers are a huge battery drain.

Well, if battery drain is your problem, then don't use a task killer -- that'll just be compounding the issue. As for how to deal with your battery drain, I've heard some reports about how turning off Facebook sync worked for some people.
Another option would be getting Watchdog Task Manager by Zomut from the Play Store (I've used it myself). It's not the typical task killer since rather than monitoring RAM, it instead keeps an eye on CPU usage (which is what causes battery drain) and notifies you when an app consumes too many CPU cycles and let's you decide whether to kill that app. It should also allow you to set a CPU threshold for certain apps, and autokill when the app exceeds that threshold.

Autorun Manager is a bit difficult to use for new users. u ll have to search for boot receivers and network change receivers among the receiver list for a particular app. if u disable an imp receiver then it ll forbid the app from running. so be careful. or else u can use other managers like Lidroid toolbox or Rom toolbox which are easy to use. Cheers

The whole debate surrounding task killers are stupid. Our phones have low memory and we are running custom built roms on our devices which tend to require more from our hardware in the case of ICS.
I like the ES TaskManager/File Explorer combo, has a nice task manager, autostart feature and apk backups.

Easy guide to improve jelly bean experience

Hello guys. I've been playing around with Jelly bean official, deleting some apps, adding other apps, and together with members on this page we were able to find some bugs and some workarounds. Well, i have some suggestions so that you guys can improve on speed (at least seemed to have worked for me ).
1) Download from Play Store app: Android Tuner (link for freeversion, has less options), Titanium backup, Gemini app
2) At Android Tuner, Go to Main Menu then again on the option One-Click (with the blue android) and it'll appear 2 options. One wich says One-click reset (it'll put all the buttons blue with on), and the other ont wich says "on boot" . Click on both, Leave the last one unchecked (it is not necessary to constantly do this, you can do it manualy later.
3) On same page, at the top wich says "build" click on it. Below you'll find a option wich says Presets, click and then Apply all presets. (later search for debug.sf.nobootanimation (click on the red cross, to remove it in orther to keep )
4)SysCtl, click at Recommended, the app will calculate for your phone automaticaly then click on boot so that it'll boot always with same configuration. (we can test this later, other configurations suggested by the users)
5) on the tab, scroll to your left untill you find the option SD, select cache size :2048 then click "on boot)
6) Slide again to the option OOM, and basicacly is setting same configuration as we use on Maximum Overdrive to max usage of RAM :
Select light preset
Then click on boot.
7) Using this app or titanium backup freeze or remove:
Samsung Push notification app
Email.apk
ExchangeServer.apk
8) Using Germini app ,click Menu then expert mode search for the following apps: Maps.apk, talk.apk, select each of them, select configure autorun, then press menu, and Disable app. (The app will still work, but use less the CPU usage, leaving free for other apps).
9) Go back to Android Tuner and On the main menu running click on One-Click (with a toolbox) -> Manage and it'll appear 5 options , click 1 by 1 on each.
10) reeboot
Optional: 11) Remove all live wall papers or convert to user apps, and free till 130 MB memory, using titanium backup, press menu then integrate dalvikcache.
12)Convert database to WAL(faster database).
13)On Android Tuner run again Defrag registry​
Now you should have a much smoother experience.
I've tested this with Wanamlite wich is free of bloatware.
I hope this helps to get a better experience.
Note: In touchwiz launcher, when you create a folder at the menu, and you insert there your apps, if after a reeboot for some reason the apps are not there it is because you have your apps instaled on your SD card, go to app manager, select the app and move to Internel SD Card, and it is solved.​

For now no. I've made this guide more and less three days after testing. Never has issues. Seems to be working great and fast battery life, With wifi off and power save on. Had an estimated of 7 hours screen watching a movie. When I can test ill share the results. But if someone could test this would be great. Once I had 2 hours and 30 min of display use and still was 78%.
