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!
I don't know if this idea has been tossed around or not, but obviously there are people out there like me who miss having an LED or trackball flashing for notifications on the Nexus S. Something I thought would be cool is to somehow have the soft keys at the bottom of the phone flash or light up whenever a SMS, MMS, E-Mail etc. comes to the phone. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd like to have something like that for this phone. Hell, I'll even provide a generous donation if it really is possible. If it's been done before, let me know. Thanks all.

I'd really suggest trying to use the search function before making threads, mate, 'cause this is about the fifth time someone has asked that. Yes, there's an app that will do that but it requires a some coding in custom kernel that's unavailable right now. Patience.
In the meantime, I suggest you check out NoLED from the market. That app will use your screen with little colored dots/icons showing what kind of notification you've received. Aside from the colored dots, the rest of your screen will be solid black which on SAMOLED consumes almost no power so the impact on battery life is negligible.

I didn't see anything about this particular subject when the Title brought up the results so I figured it hasn't been talked about yet. Furthermore, I'm not that much of a fan of NoLED when I tried it but maybe I'll give it a second go until something else comes about.
Is there any way/app to change the screen rotation delay?
Sometimes more delay would be nice, and on rare occations a shorter delay... ie, when my asswipe iphone fanboy friend of mine comments on how "slow" the phone are
I try to tell him its an delay that are set, and not lagg but deaf ears...
Anyone know ho to do this?
Anyone have any input?
I am 99 % sure you can't make the device delay the rotation
It only depends on the CPU speed and memory usage (RAM usage).
Only suggestion would be to make the phone lag which is always an horrible idea

+1. Don't really think that there will ever be such a feature as most users will not really use it haha. Faster is always better to me
Well.. how to make it respond quicker then?
Im not talking about lag or rotation speed.. im talking about the delay from the time i flipp the phone to the screen starts to rotate
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
First you want delay now you want it quicker???
Why do you need the delay and why do you need it to be quicker???
there probably will be a way to do it but to be honest no developer is going to sit down for hours trying to figure this out as there really is no need for it.

If You had read my first post You would see i asked for BOTH... what does it matter... sometimes like when I need a wider keyboard, i would like it to change quick... when in galery it would be nice... sometime it would be nice to have it as it is today or even a few ms slower.. say when your reading documents, playing games (when You move the phone alot and dont want it to change emediately..)
there are alot of reasons for this feature, just because You'r happy with the delay.. Hey!... some are even ok with the stock ROM... but i dont argue with them...
Anyone else that have any info?.. or atleast give me som pointers in the right direction.. maby i'll be able to figure it out myself... just does'nt know where to start....

Its possible....roman did it in the galaxy tab 10.1 pics aokp build with his from tools app..Not sure how
it is kind of possible (changing the screen rotation animation speed - making it look like instant rotate or slow screen rotate). Using Temaseks Kang with ICS transitions - you can go to "Spare Parts" app (downloadable via market in case you don't have it in your rom), scroll down to Transition animation and experiment. I'd guess it's not the solution you wanted, but close enough.
A smart App on the Market available for free : SmartRotator
You can choose which applications enables/disables the screen rotation
I use it since few days, it does it job.
(Don't remember if it needs root access or not, but I don't think so)

Well.. i have since changed my phone (several times), but the problem persists
Hi All,
As the title asks... Is anyone else having issues with apps not displaying "fully" on the screen of the Note?
I have an issue with the "Scrabble Free" game where it runs ok but it only shows the game screen in the top left corner of the screen. It is showing the WHOLE page but it is less that a quarter the size of the screen.
Can someone maybe download this game and see if its that same for you? Its free. And if anyone has other apps that they have this issue with then perhaps share them here so we can make a list of these "wonky" apps.
If you know how to fix this then please advise as well.
Thanks,

No. I have not changed the DPI settings at all however I am running Darky Note ROM... Perhaps the ROM has changed my DPI settings? Everything else seems normal on the ROM though except that in the Dialer for example and in the Task Manager app - the Selection Bar that is usually in the top of the screen shows now at the bottom but I thought this may be a feature of the ROM...
What is the standard / stock DPI of the Note?

Thanks for the info. Would you mind perhaps DL'ing the Scrabble game to see if it does the same for you? I have an email out to EA Games on this but have not heard back yet. Perhaps I can get them to update the game for the Note if needed so that this issue can be avoided in the future...

The stock DPI is 320.
But if you have not modded it the chances are that it is at the stock value.
Nevertheless, install any DPI changing software from the market, they generally show the current value. if you are at 320 dpi then it most probably is the problem with the app. otherwise just change to 320 reboot and check

Hmmmmm... Perhaps it IS an app related issue. Can you please install the Scrabble game and tell me if you have the same issue? That would be most helpful.

I should mention that one of my chess clients also does not display properly. Granted chessboards are square...
It's an app issue. Various old apps have this problem.
For some apps, you can download spare parts and enable the compatibility mode.
If I do this for bonsai blast, it runs full screen but it is choppy.

Ibrahim keyboard a keyboard for Arabic language. .. Does not show right. .. Smaller and looks funny. .. ..
Also have some app, not the main content of the app, but just the loading is no displaying fully (Match En Direct)

No problem here with any of the two games, or any other game I tried for that matter. With that kind of information, you are submitting I guess this is what anyone can inform you.

Unfortunately no.
It's a software problem.
I hope they fix those bugs with future updates.
i got same problem today when first install the game. next time will be black screen and sound and next time opened. i don't know why. it can be about game turbo im not sure...
Anyone found a solution?
Downloaded this and was able to debug this on my device via looking at logcat. Went from a black screen to having the startup page. Didn't test ingame

Looks like the app uses SSL certificate pinning. If you use an adblocking solution that intercepts HTTPS traffic like Adguard - you'll have to disable it for this app unfortunately. If you aren't doing something like that, try a different network
Firstly. Thank you for that fast answer. I appreciated.
I don't use any Adguard, mine Mi9 is on global Rom and I've tried to open the game in different connections.
Anything else I can do? Maybe using developer options.. Because I can't understand why this mobile its intercepting HTTPS traffic.
It was the problem for me - you might have something different going on. If you dm me a logcat I'll have a quick look, no guarantees
Same problem here for skyfore reloaded but for skyforce 2014 there is no problem. It is very weird.
Try changing the contrast and colors display settings! I had the black issue with HDR YouTube when being in standard contrast, so give it a try!

I tried it but it doesn't work.

I got this problem too. Playing on a Mi9 and solved by turning off the Game Speed booster in "General Settings".
Same goes to me, fixed it by turning off game booster. But, the problem appears when I closed the game while I'm in the middle of a match. Please help me to find a fix for this
Well I got a few problems also.. mine it doesn't play NFS no limit, relic run, on call of duty mobile when I play battleroyalle the game shuts down randomly, Fortnite does play well 60 FPS but when the storm shrinks it freezes for a couple of seconds but only then... Actually I can't really play anything...
I get black screens in call of duty mobile, only in the battle royale mode. Didn't get it before updating to Android 10. Probably going to move to a custom ROM, the update has too many bugs.
Im all so
facing this problem .when iplay codm in my rei note 8.plz help
