it not a hack and do you even know what vga is (i change a few on wikipedia so try there first lol) yea vga program work but i can't get ozvga

It's a way to get a 640x480 "resolution" in a 320 × 240 display. It won't look pretty, because it will be squizing it all on 320x240 pixels, but it would give you more screen space.

I've been building and fixing computers since the time VGA was considered the standard desktop resolution so I'll let you try and figure out the answer to your own question.
I found out what it was and I don't see how it would work on the Wing seeing as how the screen is only 320x240, but since you guys were talking about it in here, I gave it a try. No change in resolution whatsoever and I tried two different programs, including one made especially for WM6.

I finally got it to work but as mentioned by ivan before it is not a nice screen to be looking at due to the small size of the text and symbols. nyditot seems to have done the trick...only problem is that it only wants to work 50% of the time, but it'll do 'till i can get ozVGA(or another app) to work properly. but when it comes down to it I think that this is too much hassle just to get win98 running on the herald.

Images in Opera 9.5

Can someone explain what is going on with images in Opera 9.5?
In 8.65 images were downloaded in native format: zoom in and you could see all the detail; download and you would have the original image in all its glory.
In Opera 9.5 all I get is blocky, condensed images: zoom in and all I see is a mass of coloured blocks with no detail; downloading images is useless.
The worst part of this is that I can't read the xda forum properly (I can't decipher images posted of rom benchmarks and the like.)
Why is this, and how can it be corrected?

First off.. you couldn't have posted in the opera 9.5 thread?
anyways, are u using the latest build? i was browsing xda-devs for a good hour last night before going to bed with opera 9.5 and it worked flawlessly.. the word wrap feature made reading through posts a breeze!
what internet connection are u on and how many other apps do you have open?

I did originally post this in an Opera thread but it just got lost amongst the general exitement, without receiving any response. I am grateful that you have taken the time to look at it.
Don't get me wrong; this is an excellent app port. It runs very smoothly and is great to look at. Kudos to the devs.
I just assumed that there must be something in the settings that controls the rendering of images, as i get images that have greatly reduced detail downloaded. This happens regardless of my connection type and available system resources.
Maybe its a quirk of the Presto system. Does no-one else experience this? (it is not immediately apparent only shows up when you either 'save as' an image or when you zoom right in.

i too get this problem.
when first installing the app all pictures seem fine.
after using it a few times, id say maybe five or six or maybe after a soft reset that this starts happening.

I too have noticed that Opera does some kind of image processing that degrades the image quality. Even when I go directly to the image URL I often can't zoom to a true 100percent. On some occasions images are completely pixelated and undecipherable. Not all the images on a page will degrade the same amount, either. This is one of my pet peeves about the new Opera, I hope it is a bug and we find a fix in the near future.

Web browsers & Image size on TD2 screen

Hmm, I guess this is my first post. And I'm not even sure if it's the right forum for it, though considering the issue comes from the huge screen resolution from the TD2, it may be the correct forum.
Anyway, I love my TD2. It's my first smartphone and even though it cost me €405, I don't regret buying it.
I'm using it a lot for my studies though, and I like using the wikipedia/wapedia.mobi. Thing is that Opera apparently doesn't manage very well image size when he resize the page with the mobile view; I'm getting images bigger than what they should be and much more pixelised; therefore when I browse mathematics related pages, I have to scroll horizontally to view the whole formula... which isn't really practical. The same happens with IE, plus the browser being unpractical.
Anyway, would you know any way to reduce for example all images in a page by 25 or 50% in a mobile browser (if you know one that can do it, it would be great)?
It would be too bothersome to download the pages on my computer and manually resize images and correct the html tags
Thanks in advance,
lnky

This has been irretating me too. Also, I think that the font size often i way too big even when I zoom out as much as possible. But I guess there is no easy fix for this.

I've been checking the opera configuration file, though I'm not sure if the "scale" or "skin scale" or even the "Image.css" work :/ I've tried various settings...

I have no idea what you mean by this. Could you give me a URL to see on my phone what you are talking about. Opera for my has sized all pages like they do on my laptop. No pictures have been pixelized ever except when I zoom in all the way.

i like Opera but on a WVGA screen give Iris a shot- it's a simple browser and it's good for sizing. torchmobile.com free- and it uses the iphones webkit engine so everything has that iPhoney feel

Me neither. Could it be that the websites mentioned have mobile-specific CSS styles that would cause the pixellation you mention?

PIEPlus and PIE6

I don't think these play well together. When I installed PIEPlus I got an error that said "can not get window handle from Browser interface", so I uninstalled it.
I reverted my PIE from IE6 back to the old version, reinstalled PIEPlus and it works.
I'm no expert, so it could have been a different issue, but my PIE+ is working and that makes me a happy girl.
I searched through the forums and never found anything to help me so I hope this helps someone. If everyone, except me, already knew this then there is egg on my face...I hear it's good for your skin anyway.

Possibly found something for you.
Here's something I posted a while back about the different classname that IE6 uses for the window it draws.
My post was to try and get the TouchPro's touch-sensative wheel (aka. Smartscrolling) to work in IE6 but it could be relevent to your question.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=59424
I found something that works. It was really bugging me, ever since people started cooking IEMobile6 into their awesome ROMs, that 4-wayNav/SmartScrolling were broken.
I think I found an improvement. I found this classname using the FDCsoft TaskManager: IEMobile instead of IExplorer
-It scrolls really slowly
-And it still doesn't jump to every single link, but it hits more than just d-pad.
NewKey:[HLKM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\IEMobile]
"ClassName"="IEMobile"

Interesting! I'm using PIE+ on a stock Fuze (WM 6.1) with no problems.

not all that interesting
stock Fuze doesn't have PIE6 on it.
I was using PIEPlus on a stock Fuze just fine as well...then I flashed a custom ROM that includes PIE6

?
I feel ignored, lol.
A little feedback would be appreciated, not necessary, of course, but in the spirit of conversation.
Did you understand what I meant about the "classname"??
If PIE+ uses a fair amount of registry keys for its program, you might just need to change a few registry values and be good to go.
Most of the applications don't know that there is a different windowclass because we're using stuff grabbed from WM6.5 ROMs. Which is Awesome, but some apps get confused.

scoobasteve, please don't feel ignored. I just didn't understand what you meant. I looked at your other post (ppcgeeks) again this afternoon to try to understand and I still don't entirely, but maybe a little.
For what it's worth, I thought I would change the registry to go back to PIE6 after PIEPlus was successfully working and now it's royally screwed up. I'm not sure what to do with registry keys within PIE+ to get it to look for the right stuff; I'm not that advanced.
I may uninstall/reinstall PIEPlus again to see if all of the correct keys are found again. Maybe I should have posted this in the ROM specific thread, but I know that PIEPlue didn't install correctly on a variety of new ROMs that I flashed last week.

I was just kidding, btw. Some people don't even check the threads more than once or twice a week
I'd be happy to explain. Hopefully simply and not so off that I get chastized by one of the pros. hehe
The way programs create a window is by refering to a template of some kind. In many cases they are found in __.dll files. In WinMo6.5, I'm pretty sure the Search Widget, Weather Widget, and PIE6 all use the same type of window. Some of these Windows can be identified by a name, aka classname. This so that programmers can change different aspects of how the program reacts to our user input.
If you use HTCAlbum or HTCYouTube, those both have their own classnames as well. And as of right now, they are soooooo much easier to fingerscroll: Faster and smoother. The distance the window scrolls when you swipe the screen is one of the things someone can change in the registry. What you are really editing is how the program uses that window (windowclass/classname) when you swipe the screen with your finger.
So, the developers of 6.5 changed the classname that PIE6 uses. This is probably because it is so very different that few programs designed for 6.1 will work well with it. I tried using the PIE addon from Spb PocketPlus v4.1.0 and it got really confused. Pocket plus must have recognized certain elements but choked, big time, cause of the significant differences.
In Conclusion- I would not recommend using any PIE addons with PIE6 for right now. If you installed the old PIE, hopefully it will only be the widgets that won't work. I'm not really sure.
Had a little more time for this reply. Hope it helps a bit more.

Solution...
Change the registry key here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer]
"MSHTML"=dword:0 ; 0 for old IE, 1 for IE Mobile 6
Install PIEPlus 2.2 and off you go...
I couldn't live without it eather...
Kind regards,
Axel

doesn't anyone actually read?
Freakydile:
not a solution...refer to op, that is what I did. That doesn't address the issue of PIE+ not working with PIE6 at all.
sc00basteve:
I have installed a 6.5 rom that I love so PIE+ will just have to go until it is updated to work with PIE6 or I can figure out a resolution.
Thanks, I understand a lot more about it now.

thanks

[Q] Question for those coming from 4.3" 480x800 screen to GNote

Good day,
I am reposting these questions as a new thread, hoping to get some qualified answers from people who are coming from a phone that had the the specs (or close to) the ones in the subject line.
I am an HD2\WM 6.5.3 user with poor vision, hence my interest in the Galaxy Note.
1) Can someone tell me if the icons and the icon text is smaller or larger on the GNote?
2) Same question when browsing the internet and reading mail BEFORE zooming in?
I often have to squint or occasionally use a monocle to view some of the program screens on my HD2 and am hoping that the increased DPI of the GNote is not going to make things smaller over all, despite the larger screen size.
Clearly I am hoping for all things to appear larger!
3) And a little off topic but one of the best things I liked about the HD2\Opera 9.7 browser was auto text wrap\reflow when one does a pinch to zoom. HTC seems to include this functionality in their Sense UI on Android as they did with WM and I do not think the built in browser on the GNote does this???
I tried Dolphin HD on an Andorid SD build on my HD2 but I could not get auto text wrap to work at all, let alone like it does with WM\HTC\Opera.
4) Also, how viewable is the GNote outdoors, in the shade and in the sun?
I would greatly appreciate any\all details and insights anyone can provide before I drop my cash on what I hope to be the answer to my needs.
Thanks in advance, you lucky people.

Text reflow problem in the browser is the only thing that keeping me from getting the SGN ,I also use HD2 WM 6.5 and the Text reflow is amazing on both Opera 9.7 and 10.
However, although I havnt tried it myself but it looks like that the Opera browser supports it,
On both my wifes and sons Samsung galaxy Tabs text reflow is not supported both in stock or Dolphin Hd browsers.
But on my HD2 when I install the MIUI Android SD ROM I notice that i can reflow the text in the browser.
In this thread you can follow discussion for galaxy S II which is suffering from the same syndrom.

Good day to you too.

Just going by straight numbers, a 4.3" screen with 800*480 resolution will have a PPI of 217. On a 5.3" screen at 1280*800 resolution, that number jumps to ~285 PPI. (For comparison's sake, Apple's retina display at 3.5" and 960*640 has a PPI of nearly 330.)
In short, the individual pixels on the GNote are going to be smaller than the pixels on a 4.3" 800*480 device. As such, assuming nothing else in the OS has been changed, everything else will appear to be comparatively smaller (but sharper too).
I know there are pixel density apps in the marketplace which allow you to effectively scale up/down Android across the board to emulate the PPI of your preference. Perhaps you may consider trying that out?
Good luck!

Just going by sight (didn't measure), the icons and text on the Note are about the same size as on the sgs by DEFAULT.
But If you root the device then you can change the screen dpi, which well let you make EVERYTHING (all text and graphics, icons etc) smaller or larger to your liking). App LCD Density Changer from the market does this.

Having spent some time with ICS on my HD2, the native browser reflows text very well. I think it would be safe to say that once the Note recieves its ICS update, as Samsung has promised, browsing should be sweet.

I believe text reflow is Application based. Try different browsers until you find one thats satisfactory. I had a HTC Apache, Fuze, and Tilt2. Opera was my browser of choice on the Fuze and Tilt2. I use Miren on my Note and am more than happy. Dolphin browser is another great one.
As others have stated, Dpi changing apps from the market will more than satisfy your desire for having things bigger and more readable. Just be aware that most stock Samsung Apps are not set to auto re-size with different DPI levels. There are many Launcher and dialer alternatives for free from the market that do auto scale.
I say get the phone. You will be more than happy with it.

To add to the list's of devices that wrap text...the HTC flyer would auto wrap text on the entire page when you zoomed in on the stock browser. Loved it most of the time, other times it got annoying.

From my part I thank you all for the heads up,I have already ordered it couple of hours ago,should recieve it by tomorrow,for sure will be needing more assistance for a full customization,Hopefully you will bear up with us.

The stock browser reflows text fine after i ticked the auto fit pages option in settings.

The default browser supports text reflow, it's just NOT ENABLED by default. Please take a look at the browser options.
The same for the FM Radio station name, you have to go into settings and enable it.
I've seen too many posts of people complaining of something that is optional. Just go into settings and explore all the possibilities, many things can be changed.

I never got to manage automatic text reflow on the samsung stock browsers after froyo (checked every option combination I could think of ) but Opera definitely does this on the Note just zoom in and the text of an article you are reading reflows which is a delight.
I agree with you with people quite easily start to complain.

Ok mr. Claude,I just got my G Note, one amazing piece of trchnology,first thing I did is to check up the text reflow in the stock browser which didnt work,however after installing the all too familiar Opera Mobile everything is superb.
I recommend you get it.One nice surprise was that it supported the Armenian language OTB in addition to a couple of more which I read.
By the way I am typing from the GN right now with the Opera without enabling auotocorrection and its super fast.

I wanted to thank the people who have replied about this as it helps me and I am sure, others.
I would still like to hear from users of the GNote as to out-of-box icon\text and default text size when in email app, etc. compared to icon\text size when on a 4.3" screen that has 800x480.
And I am sure I will be buyng this bad boy once we get a clearer indication if AT&T here in the USA w/b coming out with an LTE version of the GNote soon or not. (read that as not soon enough but I am willing to wait till Q1 of 2012 if AT&T does end up selling the LTE version).
Again my thanks to those who have responded thus far.

Ok here wr go,in the email application the headers on the HD2 can be pinched to zoom while on the GNote cannont,meanwhile on the GNote Hotmail the pinch to zoom works very well together with the text reflow,I was able to zoom in the email massage till there was just one word on each line!!.But the Gmail doesnt seem to support zoom nor did I find a way to enlarge the fonts,but than again my main email is the hotmail.
Regarding the Icons they are smaller than the HD2 but the text is a bit larger.
However there is one thing that the GNote excells in is the Keyboard,the HD2 Keyboard is a complete crap,thats why I preffered the Swype.
My advice,if it is just for reading webpages and email HD2 is not much worst than the GNote,but for everthing else it is completly different experience.

Dang your still using WinMo?! There are many Android ROMS for HD2 that have text reflow working. Anyway I just got my Note a couple days ago and I was an HD2 user myself for over a year. Great phone. I was also worried the higher res on the Note would make everything look smaller. But in fact it looks pretty close to the same. Higher res + bigger screen = about same appearance for text. Everything else though is MUCH better. AND you get more text on the screen. Obviously. Would I recommend it to you, someone VERY concerned about reading text? Not sure. AMOLED does provide better contrast. You would basically be getting a device that would show you more text not necessarily larger.
I will say this. I'm an ergonomic freak. I loved the HD2's design. Perfect fit in hand, good amount of rubberization on edges, quality materials and REAL buttons and a FRONT power button. I can't stand devices that put the power button WAY up top. Especially as these phones get larger it gets really clumsy to reach for that button every time. When/if ATT does get the Note you can be assured they will remove the front home physical button. Actually there is a pic of it without the button. http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-preparing-galaxy-note-hardware-for-us-release-image . The power button on the Note is VERY high up on the right hand side. VERY hard to reach on a large device when trying to hold with one hand(which is possible). So without being able to wake the device with the front physical home button this is the only option. I personally wouldn't want anything to do with the ATT version and am glad I purchased the international version for this reason alone.
