Change LCD Density(MUST HAVE APP)[NEEDS ROOT] - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Works on our phones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765639
Setting it to 200 works great only issue i found is that the unlock screen is a little out of sync you have to slide a little under the line...but looks AMAZING
Later edit PICS
you can see the difference with my older screenshots here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7629490#post7629490
maybe someone can fix the unlock screen

Thanks for this - I also tried it out, but didn't tell anyone about it...
Sorry guys.

Amazing!
The first yellow exclamation mark of death I've ever had!
Edit-
And on top of that, PC companion doesn't want to co-operate. When trying to repair it, it throws me with a network error. Fck this shiet, I'm going to bed.

Just test this app, and all is fine for me. It's impressive but I notice a few bug: the lock screen like you say before, and the animation in the forecast weather of beautiful widget doesn't work... (at 200)
That's all for the moment

maybe you should try to contact the program creator... or post in his thread I don't this a saw anyone with yellow exclamation from this program...

did you have ROOT(su and SuperUser installed) and busybox ?

Worked on my rooted x10a with 026 firmware, superuser, and busybox.

At me х10 26, from the first attempt all is good. But on 200 me it was not pleasant, and here 220 anything) Thanks

PC Companion still doesn't work. Can't repair with SEUS either and I can't be arsed to download some 200mb big flashtool... At least I have made full backup of my phone with titanium.
Edit-
Didn't really like to have a paperweight worth of 500€ so I de-bricked it with the flashtool and used the exploid method for root. Now it works like a charm. Tried the LCD Density changer but it broke my emulators and I didn't like that. Also the lock-screen was awful. I'm fine with marginally less screen estate to work with as everything works and looks as intended.

apk file is not downloading on my phone.. saying -the content is not supported on your phone..

Psx4Droid and GameBoid. It made the screen go letterbox, changing the scaling settings made no difference. Also the D-pads touch sensitive area seemed to be at it's normal place but the icons for it were misplaced.

[MORPH] HDPI Battery Morph: Dots and Arrows & Arrows Only [updated 8-26-10]

Here's another battery morph, because I know you guys like your custom batteries. Plus being one of the only animated icons, they are fairly fun to work on.
This Morph converts your current battery icon to a series of six dots. As the dots drain, empty dots replace them. When you plug in to charge up, behold–it turns into a series of arrows! wow, hahaha. (idk, i like it...)
This probably wont work with the percentage overlays, as the icons are pretty complex, and dont really facilitate great legibility of the percentages. But one can only do so many circle and square batteries, so I'm branching out to do other ideas and shapes.
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
If you like this Donate here to help out an unemployed designer!pretty please?
==================update 8-24==============
Here's an arrows only version as well that some have requested. This one functions a bit differently than the arrows on the dots version, so check out the screenshots and all icons jpg to see if you like.
=================update 8-26===============
Made some serious improvements to the Arrows versions. Now have both dark and light versions for different colored bars, as well as improved icon size and spacing for better viewing. Check out icon image below.
looks cool will give it a try.

Do you have usb debugging enabled? Its been in the op in red since I posted, but I cranked the text size up so no one will miss it again. If that isn't it, you prob need to do a full data/cache wipe, including dalvik cache and reinstall your rom. If you are running a rare/uncommon rom, i suppose the pathways could be incorrect, but I have yet to encounter that issue. If so let me know what rom it is, and ill take a look at the pathway and repackage it for that particular rom if thats the issue. But try the other stuff first.

Sorry, but there isnt really anything else I can do to make it compatible for you. There is nothing in the zip that could cause any of that stuff to happen honestly. Its just a zipped folder with some images and xml telling the images where to go in your system.
I would think that if it worked before you themed, but then your phone went crazy after you themed, that there may be an issue with the theme or the way you applied the theme or something else.
That's why I dont create themes though, too much room for something to go wrong. Morphs are much lighter, more stable in my experiences, and easier to apply. But that's just my two cents.

Ruined phone by making my "Carbon theme" HELP!!! (post 13)

This is now made in photshop. The plan is making 5 or 7 homepages based on Home, Applications, Games, Music, Weather etc etc with on each left side a screenshot which I will paste in a x10 png photo exactly.
Questions:
How can I put the shortcuts on my screen without a title underneath it, so just a clean text.png file which will be the shortcut?
Which Launcher can you hide the bottom dock (and notification bar) totally? Or do I have to wait making this till we have 2.1 and use Launcher Pro?
Which application do I need to put the Home.png X10.png and the verticalbar.png files as pictures only without frames around it or anything? Especially the vertical bar will give problems I assume...
Hopefully somebody knows the answers and I can work with it. When it's done, I will share everything here of course...It needs quite a few hours of photoshopping and making everything the right size, but the plan is already in my head, which is half of the job...
Cheers,
Arnold
ADW launcher You can hide the icon labels, app drawer (bottom dock) and the status bar (notification bar). You hide the app drawer by holding your finger on it and when arrows show up just pull it. The icon labels can be turned off in the ADW settings.
EDIT: As for your question about the big icons..that can be done through ADW aswell but only if you compile it as a theme or using another application like BetterCut (not free if i remember correctly).
The vertical bar...i suggest you put it on the background itself because the only other way would be to make it into a gadget but in that case you would have a lot of trouble with aligning it like that (even with the overlapping function from ADW). All of the mentioned can be done but will require patience and in some cases XML editing to gain the desired effect.
EDIT(2): I'm not sure if BetterCut crops the icons or allows for big icons...someone else will have to answer that.
Hope i helped
owh.. nice work and hope u success PollPixx.. Hope it will be nice as the same you created the WP7 for WAD in windows mobile. Its really a nice work.
all of your enquiry can be used in adw launcher (donut). it really a nice launcher.
1. u can hide the label
2. status bar can be hide except for the dockbar i dont know about this one as this is a must as u need it to launch the apps
3. for the pic widget this one i still dont have it but you can try bettercut as u can paste any shorcut and even internet history
p.s. Sorry if i give wrong info. still new in android world
I have adw already, did not know you can hide labels. I will start working on it and see if better cut
Does the job as I wanted...thanks for info....

ADW Settings -> Screen preferences -> Hide StatusBar
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Hide icon labels
Thanks I found it.
With better cut the icons will be small. I need some picture programm to add the bigger x10 picture on my screen. It does have to be a shortcut as well. Bettercut crops my icons, Anyone?

I think if you add icons through ADW (Hold on the screen and Add->Custom shortcut) it should give you an option to adda full icon or crop an image..
But i never tested this so i'm not sure.

It is working indeed: I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT BLACK STRIPE IS ABOVE DIALER, IT IS NOT ON MY SCREEN....must be something wrong with the screenshot
have to fine tune the bar so it will be in the middle, the x10 picture is not as sharp as the original so have to define the exact resolution to get it sharper and find a digital clock which is smaller than d-clock widget, than make the other 5 pages.

have you tried digital clock by maize? I know that's smaller than our stock digi clock and has more customizing options.
I use now our stock clock but 1x1, fits perfect.
For some reason my phone is rebooting every hour all of the sudden.
When it finally starts up all widgets which i added disappeared and I have an empty homescreen. Never happened before till today...
Very annoying!
If i touch on the spots where the widgets were, it vibrates and I can swype them to the dustbin. But when i just tap on the place where the widgets should been, nothing happens! It is driving me nuts, what is wrong with the phone all of the sudden???
What I am doing now has nothing to do with root or playing in the settings, I just add homemade icons as shortcuts. I just finished HOME and APPS and now I can start all over again for the second time!! Damn.....Does anyone know or experienced the phone reboots all the time? If yes,what is the solution??
well, i give up, I reset the phone in factory settings and started all over again, just installing adw en desktop visualizer first.
When I add more than 2 pages of widgets the phone reboots all the time, it must be desktop visualizer, further on my phone is empty now. I come this far and than it crashes all the time, spend 6 hours and result is a complete empty phone
very frustrating, all my games and settings and programs are gone with no result on this theme....
EDIT: WHEN I PUT MY TELEPHONE ON THE COMPUTER, IT WORKS, SO SOMETHING IS WRONG ON MY SD CARD....
HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH IT AND HOW DO I EMPTY AND CLEAN IT COMPLETELY?
Edit 2: The icons will not load after reboot...damn....i am really lost now...
Edit 3: reboot again and now it says, "no sim", i think i ruined my phone somehow....HELP!!!!
try flashing with SEUS or pc companion, that should totally repair your phone.
regards DauL
Thanks..... i know, but how do you do that, without sim my computer doesn't recoginze my phone in pc compagnion. This is sooooooooo frustrating, something must be wrong on my sd card, if it's working and I say IF, first thing i do is formatting my sd card (first copy the files to the computer). When I do that, which files on SD card I have to keep on it to avoid my phone bricks again ???

Sorry to hear about your project, there's nothing worse than spending hours of work for no apparent reason. Can't you use SEUS instead without the sim card?

Just format the card and put it back in, the phone, I would imagine will just rewrite the essential files, I think. I've done it before and it worked ok.
thanks, I go now to a repair centre which is luckily in my town I called them, know someone who works there and he says he can reset my phone.
I will delete all files from my sd card and put music/video/pictures back on and put it in my phone than to see what happens, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully it will work out.
Maybe using shootme with the 1 click root system ruined it, i installed that recently or Desktop Visualizer, that's the other new thing on my phone. Since than the problems started...
I am guessing it was shootme, as Desktop Visualizer works for everyone if you read all the comments about it....
Still frustrated by the way

Try without that and see what happens, it may well work for others, but if the majority of them are using solid built themes, and your just in the process of making/testing one, it could just be a compatibility issue that you've not yet pinpointed.
flashing right now, thanks, i will post the progress today....just in case other unlucky members have the same problem
Flashing seems to be okay, I lost of course everything i installed, but it starts up again.
Next move, only install ADW and Desktop Visualizer in 2 hours, first i don't want to have a reboot for 2 hours to be sure...
If it goes wrong again, I know where the problem was......
flashed it and everything is working again. Even my new project goes well after reboot...i thaught....but after 2 pages again it is restarting every minute and i have to flash again. so it is proven for me Desktop Visualizer will not work on our phones when you want to add several pages full of widgets....
Is there any other tool than desktop visualizer which get the job done?
Or a home programm like ADW which you can set a different wallpaper for each page! That would do the trick to, than I make everything in photoshop and add with bettercut blank .png files for the shortcut on the right places....
Cheers,
Arnold

Hey,
Great looking app, can't wait to try it out.
Just installed it to my Desire HD (stock rom, 1.72 firmware) via adb and whenever I try to add the widget to my home screen, it tells me "no more room on this homescreen". This is with LauncherPRO.
On restart of my phone I also got a message saying that the process had crashed and had to force close. (app loads fine however, just not able to put the widget on)
Any suggestions?
I just tried it on my galaxy s it says no enough romm in this page in both launcher pro and touchwiz.
When i open the app it force close and keep doing the same.
I really want this watch but no luck.

There was no need to use adb! It's similar to stock but not same app. The widget will occupy the whole screen. Did you have another shortcuts on the screen when u tried?

Heh, only reason I used adb was because I downloaded the apk on my desktop, and my phone was plugged in but not mounted. I'm lazy like that XD

Hey Adam, I've been toying around with the launcher pro settings, just found, your widget uses a 5x5 layout currently which may be why many people are having issues not being able to add this to a home screen since the default is 4x4.
Any chance of a 4x4 version?

[Q] no download link in market

Hey everyone, I want to preface this with apologies if this indeed happens to be an issue previously resolved, i just cannot for the life of me seem to find any info on the subject. This is a big problem for me. For a frame of reference I am running CM7 with Fauxs kernel with the newer looking market update. Dont know when i got this update, just kinda happened, but then you know, i hate it. First of all i cant figure out how to browse all the apps like i used to. In the old market i could browse everything and see if i wanted to mess around with stuff. Now they only show the tops in certain categories or you have to search for it yourself. Hate that. Also, i am having an issue with downloading apps. The little blue download button is just not there on most apps and I am failing to figure out a reason why. some apps have it some dont. some will have it one day and not have it the next. I am really confused and need help. If you know whats wrong with me Id appreciate a hand!
Thanks,
Depressed Android User
Hmmm still having a difficult time seeing what the problem is. The only solution i can think of is to re-flash the latest CM7 Rom along with the latest gapps and make sure to wipe factory data, cache, dalvik, format/system, and fix permissions.
Hope this helps. But when i mess around with my phone too much and do something stupid, this method always works for me. Good luck sir.
I have the exact same problem. Im running GB on my g2x.

sooooo happy im not the only one with this problem, i dont feel like such an idiot anymore. I install clean everytime i install. I wonder what is causing this as some apps have download links while others do not. If anyone wants to try something, look up "sixaxis compatibility" see if you can download and install, that is the latest app to give me the issue

Yup on mine it shows the download button.
Try this. Go to settings, Applications, select Market and clear cache and clear data. After that re-open Market and see what happens.

ooooooo very wise pickup sir. I am currently running my LCD at 180 vice default 220 setting. i use the g2x as my home computer as well hence the density shift. let me switch it up and check.
Edit: reverted to default screen density. cleared cache and cleared data in market. Reboot. Accept terms in market app again, no download links for various apps.
Edit 2: very confused about this issue. Apparently it is only happening on a select few apps in the market.

Some apps has compatibility issues therefore no diwnload link would appear. Try native android lcd densities like 160 or 240 and it should work.

ok changing to 160 to see if that works. By the by, what device uses 160 as native res?
edit: 160 worked for the sixaxis app. crazy how that works. now if i could figure out how to get my status bar to look alright in this 160 format id be stoked hahaha
Edit 2: by the way, hahhaha i went back to 240 just to see what its like, i can barely function! everything is soooo big! at 200 i have fat screen real estate and the icons and such are much more comfortable on my eyes. its nicer to have more line items on the screen too, like in my music apps, more artists and less scrolling. win

Download Eris Market Fix. It fixed all my links. Great little program. It was designed for a Droid Eris, but it definitely works with the G2x.

i will most definitely try that fix. is it in the market?
Yes it is.
When you select a category, swipe the list to the left or right to view top paid, top free, most recent, etc. Is that what you were looking for in terms of viewing all apps?

For people who say they can't browse. You know you can swipe the screens left and right to see all the lists like you used to? And now it has top NEW paid and top NEW free which IMO is WAYYY better than it used to be.

[Q] LCD Density on ICS

Anyone had any luck changing the LCD density on the ICS leak? I tried it using LCD Modder Pro and it resulted in a soft brick.

I'm trying LCD Resolution, it says it needs busybox installed.
I go to the market and try to get an installer for busybox, and apparently market is broken for me - I can't download anything from it. Updates work fine, but can't get anything new.
I've been unsuccessful in getting the LCD resolution to change. I tried LCD Resolution with no change (no soft brick though). Also tried modifying the build.prop directly, that resulted in a soft brick.
I resolved my market broken issue (just reinstalled ICS through odin).
Going to try it after my nandroid backup is done. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
On further thought and some googling, a lot of the LCD density changing apps on the market have disclaimers about it not working on certain devices, or ICS. So I would actually be surprised if the ways of doing it on 2.3.5 will work on 4.0+
EDIT:
Alright, gave it a shot. It won't work. In fact, some of the icons appear larger. Didn't break my phone at all though, just a quick reboot and it was back to normal. I'm going to keep trying different ways.
anyone have any luck with changing ICS density yet? cannot stand how big everything is!!!

I haven't been able to get it yet..
I'm hoping that once the custom ROMs start rolling out I'll be able to figure it out. I'm good at getting into those and changing things, but I'm bad at manipulating just my phone.

Yeah editing the build file just gave me a soft brick as well.. bummer.
EDIT:
I tried adding a new line to the build.prop - My phone appeared to soft brick, and when I was trying to boot it into CWM it somehow booted up. But nothing had changed. Weird..
Also the apps on the market that claim to work with ICS don't for me.
Also, I heard that the Galaxy S II folks had this weird issue of there being TWO LINES that you needed to change... but from what I could tell (I looked over the file very carefully) there is only that one line.
i got the lcd density to change, use rom toolbox pro and changed it to 200 in the build tweaks section

WORKED. Going to check it with 160 (what I used). Excellent find man, thanks!!
EDIT: Ah my phone is so beautiful now. Works perfectly, now if I can only figure out how the app is getting the job done.. haha
That worked perfectly. I was trying to change it for hours. Thanks! I am using 160 too. Looks great, better than with Gingerbread!
What exactly does changing this do?
This changes the resolution of your screen.
ROM Toolbox did the trick, thanks.

Ahh, thank you. Saved me! I did not want to revert back to GB, but do not enjoy a senior friendly UI either!
Ok, I tried this and not sure what is going on.
When I do, the icons get smaller, but instead of using all the screen realestate, I have a large section of unused space that I can't do anything with.
What am I missing or what am I doing wrong?
After you've changed the density, you'll want to change the number of columns/rows of your launcher to make use of the extra space.
Awesome! Rooted up my skyrocket on ICS! First root for me on my first android! And just got my skyrocket yesterday!
I changed mine to 200, it's way better this way. I did it through the rom toolbox as suggested.
There is a small lag though going back to the home screen, are you guys experience this as well?
Any suggestions on fixing the dial pad? I've done some searching and it seems most of the fixes aren't for us.. yet.

Where do I make that change? I'm looking through Rom Manager and can't find that option.

You change it in your launcher settings. I'd highly recommend Nova launcher. It acts like the AOSP ICS launcher (with the widgets section integrated into the app drawer). By default the desktop space is 4 rows by 4 columns, but you can change this. I'm experimenting with what works for me with a 160 density.

Thanks, that helped, now how do I create folders in Nova launcher? Can't figure this out for the life of me.
EDIT:
Nevermind, figured it out, it's like the iOS way of creating folders. Just drag and drop 1 app onto another.
Hmm, noticed that the disagree didn't resize either. Can anyone recommend a good dialer?
Exdialer is great.
