[Q] Screen Size - LG Revolution

I'm trying to re size some pictures for back ground on my REVO. Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? Also is there a size limit on the jpeg?
Thanks All.

according to gsmarena, the resolution is a sorry 480 x 800

All you do is come on here and piss and moan about how crappy this phone is yet you do absolutely nothing constructive. The so called "sorry" resolution of 480x800 is correct and is exactly the same resolution as the thunderbolt and droid charge, not to mention most every other 4.3" screen phone out on the market except for the htc,sensation.
If you don't like the phone do 1 of 2 things, 1) sell it and get something else so you can piss and moan on there boards, or 2) shut up and do something constructive. Complaining is not going to encourage the dev that is here and working, and it sure isn't going to bring in others from the outside. So complaining and running others off is not going to help your "sorry" phone get any better, and you are going to be stuck with it the way it is.

i'm already stuck with it and i've been doing everything i can to make this phone better, including verbally supporting the dev that we have (funds will come later upon completion of the RevoToolKit - there's your constructive jargon for you). i'll do other "constructive" things when the time comes and when i feel like it.
also, that resolution IS sorry. it has been out for phones since the original droid x. you would think a "flagship" phone for LG like the Revolution would have more out of the box. the droid x2 has a res of 540 x 960, you can't compare our screens to the charge or any samsung phone for that matter (it's the same res, but sam's is obviously better), and even the original droid has a 480 x 854 (i'd look for more, but i think that'll suffice). my main gripe about this phone has always been about the screen.
i chose this phone over the tbolt because the battery lasts longer. i chose it over the charge because it's faster and it looks better than both phones. THERE. i said some good things about it. happy? the screen still sucks.
never knew that consumers couldn't be unhappy with the product. SURE i'll just shut up about it. news flash: devs go where they want. doesn't depend on what one person thinks about a device. besides, you have plenty of people on this forum happy about their Revo. why can't you just let me be unhappy about mine?
to the OP: like i said 480 x 800. screen size is 4.3 (not that it matters). you can make it bigger, but in order to show cleanly as a background, it has to be the same aspect ratio.

If you aren't using static wallpapers, and the wallpaper scrolls with the screen, the resolution of the width needs to be doubled to allow for the scrolling... so try 960(w) by 800(h).

I am ok with you not liking it, make yourself a thread about it, but don't go into every thread to piss and moan about it. The guy asked a question, not for your smart ass "sorry" comment. A simple 480x800 would have been plenty.

Should i buy this phone: g2 vs nexus s

Hello fellow xda members, im visiting from the p500 section, and I'm in the market for a new phone. So i have the choice Between this and the nexus s. Can you all. Demystify the issues I've heard? The hdmi out is really selling me, but people tell me about various issues. So can yall help me?
Thanks!
Sent from my P-509 using tapatalk
well to be honest this device has had a fair share of problems i luckily didnt face any of them from my experience it beats nexus s in all ways, processor camera hdmi speed display built quality, all aspects are better. There are a few thing though u should look before getting this device if u get a used one from the market
1- Put on a black wallpaper or image and see the corners for lcd bleeding
2- Load couple of system apps like camera and stuff see if it looses responsiveness or restarts, finally look closely at lcd if there are dead pixels if it passes those test ill buy the g2x no doubt about it

I know this thread is old but...
Just have to say... If you didn't get it, I bet you wish you did Nexus S is first phone after gn to get ics! This phone is the ISH! It is now clear why google chose this phone over the g2- the gpu still beast enough to handle ICS, while none of the other phones (except gs) of the time(not event g2) can compete. I will never buy anything but Nexus.
Nexus FTW!

those considering switchin to one series

i used it today and its def not worth it. Screen looks the same. It was actually a little slow and idk i prefer the amaze a lot more. Switch isnt worth it
Esp since ics our phone feels faster than the one s which is sad
even tho with roms itll be faster
I tried out the one s today and its a fantastic phone, but not having expandable store is a no go for me, not to mention the lack of a menu button is hard to get used to *seriously*
I do have to say its butter smooth and the sense 4.0 features are nice but not worth the switch for me.
Edit; was blown away by the quality of the screen though, perfect black scales and no lag

I played with the 1S today too. I was doing speed test to load certain pages and the Amaze kept up and at certain times was faster. The non-expandable storage is a negative for me too. The phone felt nice, screen was nice and all but like others have said, its not worth upgrading it from the Amaze.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Yeah... i dont know what the OP is talking about. must have been playing with a defect or something lmao.
never, ever judge a phone by a display model.. those phones are on 24/7 and pretty much never get rebooted (which you need to do every once in a while on android).
the screen on the one s is FAR superior than the amaze screen. talking about colors, viewing angles, and visible outdoors.

I heard it wasnt good outdoors.
Does anyone have the spec differences of the Amaze and One S. That no SD card really gets to me man. I need more space. I have 2 batteries for the Amaze because the battery life is not that good. I couldnt imagine having a phone where I cant take out the battery either.

I just did a full upgrade with TMO.... I initially wanted the One X but TMO US doesn't carry it. And none of my lines qualify for any upgrade, but TMO US was very nice and gave me a courtesy full upgrade I took the plunge.....
Now I have both Amaze in ICS and One S. And my Amaze is 2 weeks old since I had them replace it when I dropped it.
I'll post comparisons once I get the One S. For the courtesy and full upgrade price, I was not able to resist the urge.
But in no way am I letting go of the Amaze, it's such an awesome phone especially now we have ICS leaked out.

Buyer needs advice

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

It goes into such great details.
I wonder if HTC could do something about the night mode. Since it captures better photos in night mode than the phone adapting to the darkness. Maybe do something were the sensor notices it's dark and reviews the time on the phone to automatically go into night mode.
Jeez never read a review that was so in depth

Makes me want the darn thing even more.
I'm excited to see HTC turn around. I've stuck by them through it all since the OG Evo days! I can't wait to see the One and experience the next generation of HTC.
amazing
that's good:silly::silly::silly:
In fact, I do really like the iphone-similar appearance on HTC One.
It's iPhone like only in that it's metal and square... It's distinctively HTC in design though. It's way more EVO than than iPhone. I'm pretty proud that they made all of the choices for the right reasons. Now my biggest concerns are s off at some point and getting more than 1 OS upgrade out of them.

Were there recommended camera settings posted in the mega picture thread? I believe I saw a post that stated people were getting best results using a certain combo of settings. I know settings depend on circumstances but it would be nice to know what the 'bar' was.

to Flex or not to Flex

ive been with XDA a while now and it keeps me off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol. I have had the Infuse, Note 1 and now the Mega 6.3.
I have rooted and flashed more times than I can count, even if I take my shoes off, except for the Mega. (stooped bootloader)
having a few minor issues with my Mega and have been given the option to trade in. even with its issues, I love the real estate of 6.3 inches. who wouldn't right?
once you feel the girthyness, a 5.? screen just doesn't cut it.
so in the store I discovered the Flex and was surprised to find out it is a 6 inch screen. that I can deal with.
I have been doing some reading here as to the satisfaction with the device. I do trust the majority of folks here on XDA and would like to solicit even more feedback. maybe some inclination as to the possible future of development here.
let her rip
I can attest to the awesomeness of the screen real estate for sure! It is a 720p screen so keep that in mind, but videos and pictures do not suffer bc of it.. I absolutely love the way it feels in hand, in pocket, and during a phone call. This is the first phone I've used that I can pinch between my shoulder and cheek, and not have someone complain because they can't hear me anymore.. The phone is only lacking in one area, IMO, and that would be the lack of integration of the screen.. The lock screen effect is cool, but I'd like to see that utilized in menus, Chrome, Google Now and the like..The battery is a damn monster, no doubt about it! I easily get two days worth of use and 6 hours screen time every charge cycle!

I did mean to add that I love my flex. As to development it's looking like a bootloader bypass is in the near future with several devs already saying they're bringing AOSP based ROMs and I know I'll be releasing a stock based with light theme work (i.e. no more ugly grey).

I recognise your avatar from the Note threads, or was it the Infuse? Although I havent seen it in a while.
As stated, I did see and have read 2 or 3 post with the like or dislike agenda in the threads. I am also aware if the many threads that exist in the context of "what is the best rom".
The future of the development was intended to be the main question. I got the Mega in hope of a real future in development for the phone and now it is all but dead, for At&t variation that is. I was attempting to not walk down that road again.
With your experience here and a recognized face sort of speak, I tbought that your XDA experience, and others alike, might see that and offer the valued insight I seek.
But I thank you for your very predictable response.

The Flex hasn't been out that long. With time development should pick up but who really knows. LG locked it down good and at this time we have no recovery. I'm a flash whore as well but it's nice to take a break and get other things done. lol

You didnt ask about the future of development in your OP post, so that wasn't addressed by anyone.
And, who can say what the "future" holds? At this point, we're just hoping for a custom recovery..

It's an awesome phone. Like LG's software better as well. Runs smoother than my note 2 and feels better in the hand. I honestly don't think you go wrong if you decide on this phone. Best thing to do is go to a store and test it out. Worse case you have 14 days to test drive it, just need to pay the 50$ restocking fee.
Personally haven't felt the need to root this beast yet. It does amazing out of the box.

I think I'm going to switch to the Note 3. I have a few apps that I use that don't work properly on this phone, that worked perfectly fine on my Note 2. Also I miss the physical home button. I end up hitting the onscreen home button rather than the spacebar on my Flex, and I hate that.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Flex, and I would keep it if it weren't for those issues. I think if you factor out this issues I have, its a much nicer device

Can always change around the home keys and see if that helps.
Curious as to what apps don't work. All my apps work just fine. Had a ton of them to boot.

I hated that as well lol. There is the option to swipe the bottom row keys to the right or left. It might help some, but I found that it becomes a nuisance after a while. I was in your boots as well and did make the switch to the N3 and am happy. I miss the curve and a few small nuances of the Flex, but I don't regret switching.
Pretty sure the G2 xposed app lets you shrink the nav bar so you won't hit the button by mistake. LG needs to have that option with stock.

ive been with XDA a while now and it keeps me off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol. I have had the Infuse, Note 1 and now the Mega 6.3.
I have rooted and flashed more times than I can count, even if I take my shoes off, except for the Mega. (stooped bootloader)
having a few minor issues with my Mega and have been given the option to trade in. even with its issues, I love the real estate of 6.3 inches. who wouldn't right?
once you feel the girthyness, a 5.? screen just doesn't cut it.
so in the store I discovered the Flex and was surprised to find out it is a 6 inch screen. that I can deal with.
I have been doing some reading here as to the satisfaction with the device. I do trust the majority of folks here on XDA and would like to solicit even more feedback. maybe some inclination as to the possible future of development here.

its a great phone, but its not ever going to get any development traction, youre probably better off switching to a note or a g2
