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.

[Q] Wallpaper Question 480 x 800 not Fullscreen?

Guys why does 480 x 800 Resolution Wallpaper won't go Fullscreen?
whenever I add a Wallpaper with this Resolution it asks me to Crop it now it can only display a part of it. Is this really how it should be?

Do you have the ROM virtuous unity?
I've got that problem too.

You need 960x800 wallpaper.

Thanks
I will try that man Thanks

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?

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

Though it does make some from of the native app/programs look funny - so there's definitely a trade off there

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.

Why buy this phone and then change the one thing that makes it so special?

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!

Wallpaper Resolution

I tried searching this up but I found a few different answers so I just wanted to verify.. What is the exact resolution size of the wallpapers that the Sensation uses?

Same as screen - 540x960 pixels.

How to remove names and makes icons smaller?

How would I go about removing the application names under the icons and also make them smaller?

ADW Launcher gives you that control.

Every launcher have that option. Of you want smaller icons, I would recommended to change LCD density from 240 (standard) to something less.

If you are going to do this remember that sense will look odd and i personally use 167 for my density
