What is Sensation screen resolution ?

Hello all- The screen resolution of the Sensation is listed as 960x540 but is that for 1 screen or is that for a screen with the scrolling wallpaper, if that makes sense.
The resolution of my Galaxy S is 960x800 but the actual 1 screen resolution is 480x800.
I am assuming there are also 2 different resolutions for the sensation, what is the other one ?
Cheers, LL13-

What?
First off, the 960x540 is the actual screen resolution not scrolling wallpaper. Second, if you're using the sense launcher then your wallpapers don't scroll and the sense wallpapers are also 960x540.
On a ROM without sense or with sense disabled, the stock launcher would use a scrolling wallpaper of 1920x540.

OK cheers for the information everyone. I had a look at this mobile today and the screen is a beauty but was curious as to what the actual resolution was, or what both(?) were anyway !!
I think this is my next mobile after moving on from my Galaxy S.

Synergy Beta

Forum for the beta testers.
Everyone let's use Antutu for benching marking purposes.
Thanks.

I've set equal performance battery/performance for now. A bit snappier than default user config, too early to report battery life. BTW, GPS works fine.

I am using that same setting as well. However, I adjusted eMMC to 1024 and SDCard to 2048 for the ReadAhead Values.
By doing this, I gained a 600pt increase on the Antutu Benchmark.

Ok,let's all stick to Antutu for testing purposes. Might want to edit OP.
4355 ANTUTU score.

Located in the same place? What time do you anticipate it being up?

Good to hear, I'm still on beta 1 and finding it very stable as a beta version! That new status bar looks awesome tho.

What tweaks has everyone done in the Dconfig, and how is the performance with them?
I have changed Equal/Battery, Dalvik to 60, eMMC 1024, and SDCard 2048 (ReadAhead values).

Request. Damo, is it possible to make that carousel after unlock to spin faster? To me it feels like I have to wait before I can use home screens.

It doesn't need to be put there because it isn't an issue.
What do you expect to use as a launcher is Rosie is banned and you don't have anything else installed

lower screen resolution

Hey anyone else find that the sensation is faster with a lower resolution due to it not having to redraw/upscale apps?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

didnt even know that was possible, is that what you have done? and if so how?

Not possible afaik

I used a free resolution changer from the market place
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

Though it does make some from of the native app/programs look funny - so there's definitely a trade off there
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

You guys can try this. I haven't tried it since I'm not rooted yet.

After changing resolution go into spare parts, unchecked compatibility mode, reboot.....and apps will appear correctly

That negates the whole point of having a nice qHD resolution screen.

Not possible afaik

Will give it a try

Reason why I went with this phone is b/c of the higher res.

Can we safely assume he changed his density and not his resolution?
Our resolutions rock a lower density. I love my insanely small text that is super clear!

Something interesting when you change the density to 200 and load up the new market in landscape mode. Looks and works just like my Xooms market. I can't wait for ICS!

Removing pre-installed apps?

Hello, probably a dumb question, bulbs there a way to remove/uninstall the apps that came pre-installed on the phone? Blockbuster and the like? I won't use blockbuster and its using up space. I have everything stock. Not rooted, its a brand-new inspire and I would prefer to keep it stock. Hope to remove the useless junk!
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App

Have to root of think. Then you can uninstall or freeze them. Might be able to freeze them unrooted, not sure. Though they would still be taking up space if you do freeze them, just not using up resources..
*ins>rt sig here*

In order to delete you will have to root. BUT you can try this. Download launcher pro from the market. Using launcher pro you can hide the apps. :-D
I got your 10 char right here

Titanium backup will freeze or uninstall them

Just hide them with launcher pro. Thats what I did for the first 2 weeks when I got this phone while I read up on rooting. Then I rooted and never looked back. :-D

I just don't want to deal with doing it, if not needed. Wanted to see if it was possible to get riff of the unneeded apps, like blockbuster and twitter. And asphalt. Ugh! (also, my signature thingy says 'desire hd' instead of inspire 4b... Why?)

I see "Sent from my HTC inspire 4G using XDA App" for your signature, unless you're manually adding it in there to say inspire 4G.

Yeah I manually changed it lol
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

weird, i thought only custom roms had that issue. anyways, to answer your question, its because the inspire and desire hd are the same. desire hd is the euro model where inspire is the us model... atleast thats the way i understand it. I think there are a couple hardware differences, but nothing serious. thats why alot of the roms for the inspire make the phone think its a desire, because thats where they were ported over from.

Not sure if it's the same with the free app, but when you're not in a thread, hit menu, more, settings and scroll down to signature. Click panel and choose customize, then click on the customize panel. You can make it say whatever you want.

Port rom

How do i port a rom? N i looked n looked n noting useful. Thanks
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

First off. You need good grammar and spelling, no more of the abbreviating stuff. Second off there is no sure fire way to "port a Rom" you will have to go to chef central on here and read for hours then compile your own cm7 build. Once you can do that you can work off that.

There is a couple stickies in android chef central that you can take a look through to get yourself familiarized with whats necessary to get started. I would definatly recommend setting up android kitchen on ubuntu if its possible for ya.

For starters if you want to just do a straight port, you could port miui from the DHD. It's the easiest one

lol the DHD and Desire Z?
well first and most noticeable is that the Desire Z (Tmobile G2) has a hardware keyboard. the next thing, is that the screen is wayyy smaller than that of the DHD. then there are the more inner things. the Desire Z has a 800 MHz CPU, while DHD sports a 1 GHz (like us). and also, the Desire Z has very little RAM, can't remember off the top of my head, but it's a lot less than the DHD or the MT4G.
but while the devices are different, it's still mildly easy to port a Desire Z ROM to the MT4G...

Mildly? The first ROM i ever ported was a MexdroidMod version using DSIXDA's Kitchen. It took like 20 minutes. I had an issue with the keyboard and dropped a gingerbread keyboard apk in to fix it. That was the ONLY issue I ran into.
I call that mega easy.
