app to make screen res better?

hello. i saw somewhere there was an app or something that can make your screen res so much better.... like certain apps that are on your homescreen that are long on their title fade out... wit this app it makes it show the whole thing? hope i am making sense lol. i saw it before i got my captivate and now that i have one i dont remember where i saw it and its driving me nuts! any help is appreciated!!!

It's called LCD Density. You need one of the apps that changes it.

LCD Density is the one that i have used... but it doesnt save the setting, so anytime you power off your phone and turn it back on, it goes back to its normal Res.

I used one once that had an Apply to Reboot option. Don't remember what it was called.

Lcd density. Paid version saves it. Well worth it. I cant use stock anymore. 190 is a good setting.

does anybody use that app? if so does it make a big difference? is it worth it?

yup. worth it and huge difference

I love LCD Density...really makes it look like a whole new thing...a must. I use 182 as my Contacts crash if I go any lower with my current beta ROM.
I used to do 160!

[Q] Workaround for MMS compression in native Messaging app?

Is there a hack/workaround, besides using an aftermarket messaging app (i.e. handscent) to allow MMS messages to be sent without being butchered by compression.
I hate taking awesome photos of my **** (rooster) and then learning that the receiving party gets a distorted grainy pic because of the stupid compression used to make the file smaller.
Unless, I'm blind I can't find anything to change that... I actually enjoy the native app and dont wanna resort to some overly featured messaging app just to send/receive pics at "close to true resolution" size.
Thanks!

Looks like my only option is to go with an aftermatket solution eh

ics video mms

i havent been able to find a solution, if there is one, for the video camera not having a setting to lower the quality of a video enough so it can be sent via mms. from what i can tell the ics camera in all roms has hd and sd setting and sd doesnt lower the quality enough for mms. ive poked around in the camera settings and in the forums and im at a loss. am i mising something?
thanks

Just encountered this. I have found one way. Compose a new text message and "Attach", then select "Capture Video". This will set the video camera to MMS quality.

i read that in a thread a few minutes ago. i havent tried the stock messenger app but for some reason handcent previously didnt give the option to capture. only gallery and quickpic to choose photos and videos. ive flashed a different rom since then and now it does give the option but when i choose capture: 'unfortunately camera has stopped'. capture photo option works but capture video doesnt.
fyi... ive had this problem with all ics roms ive used. cm9, slim ics, nostalgia, paranoid android, Team Nyx ICSSGS, and currently AOCP.
im beginning to think its a hardware issue since im having a multitude of other problems as well such as battery indicator saying its charging well after its been unplugged and the settings>about phone menu fc'ing in PA.
I appreciate the suggestion tho.

Morning bump

Still no nothing? I find it hard to believe there's nobody with a fix or workaround. I really don't want to use a lesser version of Android all because the pics camera can't do this. Again, its the pics camera on every from I've tried.

[SystemUI/Framework-res]Pantech Burst Users.:D

A few member in the burst thread know about what I have done SystemUI wise to give us a little bit of that Stock ICS flare. After so I did the same with the framework-res. Well here is a thread dedicated just to that. I hope you enjoy. These do work! I use them myself. Screen shots shall be uploaded sooner or later for proof. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if something goes wrong. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP, just in case.
Below is my 4th revision of a SystemUI: Signal bar, bluetooth, wi-fi, silent, vibrate and battery is changed to stock ICS blue.
www.dropbox.com/s/3ippqv6698z5j7a/SystemUI4.4.apk
instructions: for ease do this.
Of course rename the file back to "SystemUI.apk".lol don't want a awkward situation.In the directory of where you would adb your device place this in the directory and navigate to the folder where said file would be located type.
- adb remount (remounts device and can give permissions)
- adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
--Should move accordingly. Then this.
- adb shell
- su
- reboot
SystemUI is finished!!!
Below is the modified framework-res. The toggle switches for like wifi and bluetooth in the settings menu is changed. The spinner icon for when your phone shuts off is changed. the scrubber when you use your volume control is changed. The USB, ADB, Dload/Uload is changed.
Download it.:https://www.dropbox.com/s/cw7bxsvljplwiwb/framework-res.apk
Instructions: Move the file to your directory where your android stuff is on your computer like for systemUI.
- adb remount
- adb push framework-res.apk /system/framwork/framework-res.apk
-- Should move!
- adb shell
- su
- reboot
There you go!
There will be more revisions in the future when i have the time! Oh and some work with the contact and phone apk.
Hope this works for you and that you love it! I know I do.

Don't forget the scrubber animation on the volume switcher.

I will upload more screenies for you to post of gizmo. Will be later today as xda is being a fart nugget.

the status thermometers (such as shows when installing an app under "Downloading...") have a flicker to them while they are running...

I noticed that too.. I really do not know what happened at that point... Something may have went wrong when I was switching out the scrubbers... No idea. I will look into it when I get home from work. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No inconvenience, just wanted to mention it in case you hadn't seen it and want to fix it.
Looks like the bar is not in the same place on the Y axis as the original, and it's redrawing a blank page after looping, which causes the jump. guessing

The download is the original. I believe it is just a issue with the phone because when I was tinkering with drop down alittle bit it started that. And I will definitely look into fixing it. It isn't a major issue. I mean. I never pay attention I just look for complete and not installed lol. At the moment I'm working on changing apk icons for our phone and editing the framework for the dialer. It is really ugly in my opinion.

Actually the stock dialer (and phone.apk, incoming call screen, etc.) will not scale to my resolution (192dpi), so if you have a way to fix this, it would be major! Using Go Contacts (and dialer) EX as a substitute, which works but is very slow.

Get exDialer and get the ICS theme for it. I like it alot better in my opinion. And I got a request to cook up a rom. I'm implicating a lot of the stuff you have seen throughout the thread. Stock ICS apps, my systemUI and framework.
Should have the ROM uploaded sometime today!

Yes that's what I have but it is very slow. Loading the dialer/phone app is very, very slow, same for contacts.
While you're building something new, the AOSP lock screen would be killer, and the dialer & phone apps need to be reverted to stock. Those are some of the biggest problems with the Burst stock ICS IMHO.

I actually found where our lockscreen lurks. Took me 4 hours to find it. And the dialer and contacts... I have the Stock ics apps for it.. I have tried alot of ways. But I can not get them to work to save my life.
And I'm actually done building. Just a matter of uploading the rom.
Stock ICS contacts and dialer. Ours has so much that they do not so it will be tricky to revert but I will keep fooling with photoshop and see what I can do.

Yes, I did the same thing, and had the same kind of success rate (zero). Couldn't get stock ICS dialer and contacts to work.

[Q] Low res photos on contacts

Recently got HTC One, really love this phone, but this issue is bordering me.
Only few contacts have hi-res photos. Even after I add through a web new HQ picture it syncs it in low res again.
If I add through phone new picture it works, people app shows hq picture, it even shows new pic on web (google contacts), but as soon as I remove account and add it again, it syncs again in low res !
Only few people are in high res, those one's I added ass soon as I sow news that google fixed this issue, is it back again or am I missing smth ?

Can abybody at least say that everything works for him ?

This happens to me too, if I set a high res picture for the contact on the HTC one it works for a bit but for some reason it goes low res after a while, I changed lots of contact pics to high res but slowly and seemingly at random they are becoming low res an dotty, I've also tried at the Google end, importing high res directly to Google contacts but the same happens

The problem you have is because Google compress them.
I use HD Contact Photos from the market. Works quite well.
HERE is the XDA thread.

Thanks for help!
But isn't Google fixed this issue in JellyBean ?
How come I get few contacts in high res ?

Well if they have it hasn't ever done it on mine yet. When I replace them they just go back crap unless I use the app I mentioned.

Just tried this app and I am not sure if it is working as I want to.
Yess, I do have hi-res photos now, but it hasn't updated it in web, so as soon I remove acc (or hard reset phone, eg. new rom) I will need to set-up all over again ?
EDIT: it seems that it updated photo on the web

Little bump. I think this is HTC issue, because when using clean Android or CM 10.1 all photos are high res.
With the app suggested, it all works until I make hard reset or flash a new rom!
