Hi,
i got a couple of app's "games" that are abit dodgy. one the whole right panel is "off" and the other the bottom and top are "off"
firstly deal or no deal game.
on the left side you see the "prizes" but on the right of the screen it is too small to show you the rest of the games "prizes"
you get a list of $0.1 to $750 and on the otherside your ment to be able to see $1000 upto 1mil. but screen too small
and the other's sheep launcher plus
on the bottom you cant select characters and on the top you cant "tap" the sheep also the calibrations abit off as you have to touch around 1.5cm under the actual launch icon to launch it .
All of this boil's down to one question really.
Is there a way of resizing "app's" for the X8
Thanks
Yes... in a kind of way but it is not work will all roms. It resize all your phone's screen.
It is called designity changer... our default is set to 160.
You can change it to 140 or 120
At 100 most launcher crash and all apps crash.
You will have problem typing on 120 as buttons are too small.
Best rom from my opinion for this is mini cm.
Some apps will not be resize and you may have layout problems, only on the look.
P.S root need, app is paid, can be found on market.
Just edit build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=160 <-- our default
you can change to
ro.sf.lcd_density=140 or ro.sf.lcd_density=120
Note: some rom have two build.prop
one in System/build.prop
two in System/Bin/build.prop
Warning:this will resize all app

Hi, I'm running into the issue that the screen is being rendered larger than the physical size of the screen so status boxes sometimes partially off screen and app icons get half hidden in the corners.
I plaid around with build.prop, but it didn't really help any. Is there a way to modify the home screen without changing the resolution? Also, if anyone knows of a way to change icon sizes short of installing a different launcher, that would be a huge plus.
TIA!
I've read that there are limitations in place for the preview image that kind of create this problem. If I understand the problem correctly it may be a case of changing pixel density but the preview image doesn't let you go beyond a certain density so even then the problem still exists. It's probably just something we have to deal with until Honeycomb becomes publically available for development.
This makes sense. The only reason I care about this is that when I use Aldiko, I can't see the top line of text because it pushes the words above the actual screen.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an E-Reader that they use successfully on HC???

You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
I haven't really looked into this but I do know there are ports of honeycomb for various phones such a the evo, maybe try pulling the build.prop from one of those and see howe they altered screen density.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i've tried changing the number but havent had much success through the buid.prop. Any ideas on a good number and which number to change? Looks like there are 3 density numbers
For Honeycomb, I found that 120 is the best lcd density, it shows all the options when you expand the settings from the clock, it also displays the correct number of running apps in the quick change button (or whatever you call it) Also, Lcddensity is a good app for trying out diffrent settings. For Aldiko, I recommend increasing the margin size to see the top line of text, not a perfect solution, but it works.
Hi Guys,
I have been enjoying a reduced size swipe keyboard ever since I got my Galaxy Note till I updated to Ice cream sandwich. Now with the update, the keyboard's width is being stretched to the maximum on both left and right sides. I really need it to be on a reduced size as its easier to swipe with one hand. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I really don't know as Im new to Android. I meddled with it and somehow got a reduced size, the keypad was positioned in the centre, almost 2cm spacing from the left and right of the screen.

How did you "meddle" exactly? Did you edit a specific file or setting? I'm sure you changed the resolution somewhere.
I'd also like to reduce the swype width. I downloaded the file "swype qhd by keaton" (google it) and it takes a centimeter off each side of swype on my galaxy nexus. It throws a resolution error in landscape mode though, and doesn't stretch.

I did not change any file or sort of that. I was stock. Might be some setting. And yes it does look like way u have with the blue glowy things at the background. Though mine was 2 cm from left and right as well as a proportionately reduced height.

Ok, I see. I'll post if I can find a solution, but I'm not very skilled at this. This needs to be an option for swyping on bigger phones.
hi guys ...
i have troubles with swype ... hated the version that came with ics (the suggestion bar on top of the keyboard was useful but quite annoying) ... i've installed the beta version, but its size was ridiculously small
i've found in beta apk some files "display#_SwypeScreen.ini" ...
and i've found that if you put them in system/data/data/com.swype.../swypedata
it will resize the keyboard nicely ... but only to a reboot when you have to do this again
any idea how to fix this?
Edit: this is a fix to the reboot issue ... quite a move
"option one - rotate the screen into landscape/portrait and then revert back - its sort of working. "

This is something I haven't seen before. I just got a Nexus 6, and on the first day I had it, I poked around on the phone with the OOB configuration, and chrome did work in landscape. Videos would be full screen, etc. Since then, I have:
Upgraded to 5.0.1
Rooted the phone
Removed the encryption
Changed the dpi to 493 with textdroider
Replaced the google launcher with Nova
Set the desktop grid to 8x7
Now, if I switch the chrome into landscape mode, the page takes up the whole screen for about a second, but then half of the screen becomes black, like there is an overlay over it. It cuts off the bottom half of the page. This happens when playing full screen videos in chrome too. Everything else on the phone, including the desktop.
I put the dpi back to its original value, but that didn't matter, so I changed it back. I've also set the desktop grid in Nova back to its original settings, which also didn't matter. I tried using chrome beta, but it has the same issue. Has anyone experienced this before? I haven't found any other examples of this. I tried to take a screenshot to post here, but the screenshot came out looking normal.
Fixed it.
Setting the DPI back to 560 fixed the issue. It must just not like the 493. I tried 520, but that didn't work either. I'm going to try 480 now, since 493 looked pretty nice.

Change lcd density to 560 in /system/build.prop, save changes, exit, and then reboot. 520 was the closest I've found that was free of issues but chrome would still have that issue in landscape with side buttons down. In landscape with side buttons up, however, chrome works fine in landscape in 520. I'm sure other values will provide the same but it seems other apps get affected.
480 was a no-go
Nope, issue persists on 480 too. Guess I'm going to be stuck at 560 until this is figured out.

460 DPI seems to work for me. I had issues with 480 and other DPI I tried as well. Seems hit or miss at certain settings.
460 works fine. I started at 480 and had half black screen as well.
I have been fiddling with different settings and 498 was the lowest/smallest I have been able to get with out any issues what so ever. With other numbers that I have seen seem to work but then I always end up with letters in the keyboard being cut off from the pop-up when I tap them. I don't know much about how the screen works and how scaling works to figure it out which DPI's will work with out any issues.
493 dpi over here.
I experience half black screen bug in landscape when i rotate my phone in such way that my power/volume buttons are on the buttom of the phone and if the keyboard is not present.
if I rotate the phone in proper direction, meaning, when the phone is in a landscape position and my power/volume buttons are located at the top of the phone, bug isn't present.
if keyboard is present and the phone is in landscape mode( power/volume buttons on the bottom) position results in keyboard flashing/constantly trying to redraw itself every time I press on keyboard.
Black overlay bug is system wide for me, not just in chrome(also present in other browsers, message app, file manager, etc), so I think the bug lies in Google Keyboard not liking 493dpi in landscape.
{ I'm as well, removed the encryption, root'ed, 5.0.2(AOSP, LRX22G, Pure Shamu) with Nova(12x7 grid) as default launcher. }
I just wanted to let you know that this issue seems to be resolved on Android 6 / Marshmallow.
I'm now able to set the density to 384dpi without getting the infamous half black screen in landscape mode (when the phone is rotated clockwise).
FYI: 384dpi is the highest value possible to keep the UI in tablet mode (including 4-way screen rotation, etc). From 385dpi up the UI switches to phone mode.
Hi Guys,
If you wanna be normaly screen size (not original screen size of Htc Desire 510) than download this apk to your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=hu
NOMone Resolution Changer (its free)
Open the app and you see
"Width" "Height" "DPI"
Change Width to 720
Change Height to 1280
Change DPI to 312
and click on apply
Or second way:
Open the app
Click on "Select device template"
and choose Motorola Moto X or Htc One X
Click on apply and you done
If you dont like this sizes,dont worry,apk will restore stock sizes after 10 sec and after 1 minutes too.
I hope its helped to some people.
Good Luck to all.
Use this all the time (different app, same effect) but it can seriously eat ram depending how far up you go. While it makes stuff look prettier, it can slow down your device.
Also our aspect ratio is weird. 720x1280 causes a border effect. Use 768x1366 at 300dpi. Looks great and uses the same amount of ram.
I don't know if it's just me or not but everything seems tiny on my screen, including the HTC home,back, and recent apps button.
this does not work on my 510.
any idea why?
do i have to be rooted?

Yes.
I've done this with a different app, but now my widgets & some other stuff seem rather disproportional.
Any way to fix this?
Other than this, however. The 720P looks much better on this phone. Thanks for the tip.

UPDATE: The biggest problem so far that I'm experiencing is that I cannot use my favorite keyboard. The buttons are out of place. Too big, can't fit the space allocated. SwiftKey & TouchPal are both out.
All the resolutions dont suit it they are all too big
After changing resolution, reboot your phone. The resolution will stick but everything else will resize to normal. If it doesn't, lower your DPI. All issues regarding "stuff size" should be resolved by lower DPI. Experiment, you'll find what works for you.
But again, RAM is an issue. I've asked pattyboi to adapt Swap into his kernel so I can test out RamExpander. With Swap enabled we should see a bit of a performance boost, but it can be risky if you don't know what your doing. Until we have a Swap capable kernel (and it actually works) were stcuk with what we got. From what I've read up on it, Swap seems like a viable solution to many performance issues with the 510
Okay so I'm really puzzled about how you can just change the resolution, how does it work??? Does the screen have a resolution more than the stock 480-800? I dont understand
So, that changing resolution? Is that works at all?
After recently rooting my J7, I've decided to use one of the resolution changing apps to give my phone a 1080x1920 pixel faked resolution, with a dpi of 280. For the most part, it works. Some built-in apps such as the camera or even the touchwiz launcher (seems some UI elements used hard-coded numbers to define regions, or in case of the camera, the view is almost a quarter of the screen with black around the edge, and the touch input is offset to a different corner.
All else seemed good, until I realized another major flaw - the call screen - it works, however when trying to pull up the keypad when in a call, it only displays a single, gigantic 1 button. no other buttons are available. Button-based menus are of course now impossible to navigate... unless every button to press is 1, 1 and 1. And then 1.
Can't take pictures of it now as the resolution change causes an issue for screenshots - I'll need to get a screenshot app for this, but ultimately, are there apps that replace the call screen? I thought a dialer app would fix this but the one I have only replaces the text/call/contacts apps, not actually calling. I'd prefer there to be an app that can replace it, as it seems most third party apps are almost never hard-coded to a specific resolution, meaning I'd imagine it should work on my modded phone.
If more explanations are needed I can try to provide some screenshots as needed when i'm done. I'm really hoping I don't have to reset the screen. I love how everything works otherwise...

Install Google Phone apk and set it as the default dialer app.
It also replaces the incall screen
