I have a sprint touch vogue so I don't know why it wont work. I am using myns rls3, flashed the 240×320 nbh and change lcd density to 110, even tried 113 but everything is just a tad bit off. Everything is a little stretched. I'm happy withe the 320×480, I can handle the barely noticeable blurriness. But when they fix the full market problem with 240×320 id like to switch. Anybody know why this wont display correctly?
Not a noob so I'm pretty damn sure I did everything right.
Thanks
Have you tried an LCD density of 120? Seems sharp to me.
Yeah it looked the same as 110 and 113. That is why I'm stumped at how this not working.

Did you reinstall the 240x320 version of myn's build?
I did not do that but all that does is change the lcd density. So I didn't bother

No offense, but are you sure? when i flashed from 240x320 to 320x480 to fix my market (without reinstalling the other build), some images were sized incorrectly. I guess that could have been density related, but it might be worth a shot or a pm to myn.
Myn uses custom fonts.
Switch back to standard android fonts supposedly fixes things. I don't know how or what files.
Perhaps an androidupdate.tar?
Lol yeah I'm positive. I've talked to myna about it and he suggested trying the 240×320 build but he also said that the only difference is the lcd density. I guess I could give it a try but I'm sure it wont be any different
OK I just flashed the latest 240×320 nbh and installed myns 240×320 build and still looks like crap! I give up. 320×480 looks pretty damn good anyways.
I ran 240 x 320 exclusively until about 2 weeks ago never had any problems. Did you blank your sd and re-install system and wipe data? Make sure you have the latest nbh. I keep both nbh's in seperate RUU folders on my desktop and update both as DZO releases new ones. When I went from 240 x 320 to 320 x 480 initially I did not install the new system and the icons were super small LOL
No I kept data. Don't think that would make a difference anyways. Maybe my phone is just drunk. I'll just stick with my current resolution.
Yeah I think I might switch back to 240 x 320. Game graphics are a bit crisper.
Just switched back no issues. I did not keep my data just copied all my apps to a folder on my sd.

I think keeping data may have part to do with it. If you don't mind backing up/restoring your apps/contacts I'd go ahead and try a fresh install. Fresh flash, fresh sys, fresh data.
Still don't think that will work but I'll give it a shot

Not yet cause I got to thinking, in or to do the full market trick you have to have a 320×480 data.

not an old one. you can just make a new one.
I'll give it a shot but I still don't see how wiping my data will make it look right. And the boot animation is cutt off a little.
OK, flashed 240×320 nbh, installed myns 240×320 build, wiped data. And it help but some stuff still looked bad! Like the text on the beautiful widget clock was overlapping the clock. The market was a little messed up. And some of the text was really blurry. My phone is not messed up and I did everything right. Guess I can never use 240×320

Alright, I've been meaning to do this a while;
Jamezelle asked me to port his Sense Hero build over to the new installation method a while back but I've been really caught up with my personal build. Now that I'm at a level I'm comfortable with I had some time to do this for James.
Bear in mind this is a cupcake based build, so alot of the new work we've done to tweak android won't work here. But it was good then and it's just as good now
Please don't use the 'orange' launcher on setup. I just realized now after uploading 100MB that I put in a donut launcher that won't work in cupcake. so just use rosie.
I've tweaked it a little, including userinit on boot etc.
It is nandable. Boot up is slow because it isn't odexed however once up and running it runs as good as.. well as good as it did before.. lol
The original thread for the post is here;

also you dont need to format your card for donut and above. so if you had started out with donut or eclair and didnt format your card thats probably why. cause i had to format my sdcard when i was using cupcake but then i had got a new sdcard and immediately switched to donut but never formatted my sdcard and it worked. just throwing out some possibilities

I love the Hero, thanks so much! I think it's running even faster than the tatoo, but since it's cupcake, all the wifi updates I have for donut and eclair don't work for the cupcake (I tried and with no luck), it would be perfect for daily use if the wifi is working, anyway, appreciate for your work!
Thanks for all the info guys. I love the senseui in this SenseHero build…but I honestly miss Myn's Warm Donut. It is the most fast and reliable build I have tried for the vogue. Even with the Market working in the SenseHero build, it lags to much to me. I will really miss using the mail, sms, album, and calendar widgets that are in this build. Does any one know if I could just take the apk's of the widgets out of the data/apps to insert into the ported Hero theme in Myn's Warm Dount?

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?

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!
Just an FYI, I installed it and a bunch of stuff I couldn't find in the market before is there. ( I doubt it though )

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.
I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..
@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
So now that I finally have my Nook rooted and running Custom Nookie Froyo im playing with it constantly. I noticed while looking at it next to my HTC Droid Eris that the Eris screen looks crisper and more colorfull. Obviously the Nook is much bigger but I began to wonder if it looked better with the original software than it does now. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Could it be something that will improve as development of the software continues? Is there an app that will allow me to fine tune the colors?
I think the colors look great although it would be nice to be able to adjust them if you want. as far as i know there is no way to adjust at this time.
Im not complaining by any means but clearly next to my phone I can see a difference. Im thinking its simply because Froyo is scaled larger than Google intended which may cause the loss in crispness and color. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed and maybe had a theory as to why. Looks like Ill just stick to my theory and continue to enjoy this fantastic software on this fantastic device.

Have you adjusted LCD Density?
That's the first thing that came to mind when you said "loss in crispness".
Adjust screen?
This is what was brought up before while posters were talking wallpaper. How is this done? i'm going to check the menus now for density.....
I think it's just because froyo was never meant to stretch like this. I use CM7 which defaults to the ADW launcher and it looks crisp to me, but that launcher is also compatible with larger screens.
Well I seemed to have taken care of it. I was being thrown off by the lousy way it handles wallpaper. Using ES Explorer to set my wallpaper made a huge difference.
Even still how does one find the LCD density settings?

Or use Root Explorer and check out the how-to that's stickied. The build.prop file is in the same location as 2.1

Or if you want to do it the manual way, and you have adb installed..
(on your computer)
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
then use a text editor to edit build.prop. Change the line with "density" (just do a search for it) from 160 or 169 or whatever to whatever value you want.
then, again on your computer
Code:
adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/
adb reboot
Hey Guys.
I have recently discovered how to change my LCD density using Rom Toolbox. I have changed it to make everything smaller, kind of zoomed out. I was so happy until I wasn't able to install apps off of Google Play. My question is: why does LCD density mess up market downloads and can it have a negative impact on the device? IE: does the screen have to constantly re-draw to set to new density?
If anyone is knowledgeable about how LCD density (build.prop) effects the device, can you please post below with your smartness Thanks.
i have seen how this work in my galaxy s where they had higher density roms.
i dont think it can actually hurt your device.
i have tried it on an ics rom on my n1 and i dont experience any trouble to install apps from play. may be its gb problem or specifically your rom?
actually i was surprised how well the system adapted to the new settings
except a few graphical artifacts everything looks ok.
btw i used 200 value on medroid 6.1 if i remember correctly.

Yea, I tried lowering the density and I couldn't install any apps off of the market. I had to set back, reboot, and clear Play's data in order to download more apps. Happened to me on CM7.2, not sure if it is a rom limited problem or if that's just how it is.
The apps themselves aren't coded for such low (or high) pixel density for your device.
