the display resolution of my wildfire is so **** looks like i an using some old black and white handset, i got rooted wildfire any one knows how to get it better? thanks
adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the file
find "ro.sf.lcd_density = 120"
change 120 to something like 100
save
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
thx but no idea
thx buddy but i dont know how is that all done
i have adb installed in my computer though
what rom are you using?
post your build.prob here and i could make an zip to flash
Well the resolution is what it is. I don't know if changing the dpi of the screen would make it look sharper or anything , but the resolution is hardware. Not changeable by software.
ok
i just want the texts to be sharper than it is now, coz i cant read any thing on web unless i zoom in, texts are fractioned so its hard to understand

when maybe dpi should be 140.
but less things will fit on screen but they should be bigger, like a "zoom in"
info
i am using wildpuzzlerom v7.2
build no
1.28.1107.2 cl233281 release keys

wht abt colour
gyz what abt the colour, colour looks really bad on wildfire if i install a new theme will it change the colour setting or is there any other trick to get better colour?
I just tried this and the results... well adwlauncher got a really interesting the actionbutton background totally messed up and the icons in notification actually looks worse. Text is slightly better i think though. All in all , no thanks. 8)
(and the resolution is still the same , but the ui 'takes up less of the screen' sorta)
Going the other way might make it look nicer , but i suspect the same problems arise , and also icons would hardly fit and so on... less space for stuff on the screen is a bigger problem than a little bit uncrisp graphics imo.
Edit: Didnt see your packages there Danne , i ripped it out and edited it , gonna try 140 too tho.
messy
i tried with the 140 one
things are proper messed up now its pretty worse thn i xpected, i am gonna try 100 one and post the result
Tried both now.
Apps don't scale that well , i guess the dpi change works on the larger phones cause they have the space to let text fit anyway and so on. Snowstorm in 140 has text all over it , adw actionbuttons are better but not that good and so on...
So then we could drop this idea for mean while
result for 100
tried the 100 one. texts looked a little bit better to me but things wont fit in the screen like when there is an app on homescreen text are half visible, not good, any other idea gyz?
and one more thing can anyone send me apk for rom manager because somehow my market wont show rom manager and tried scanning the qr code still wont work. it would be great, thanks for trying to help everyone, hope someone finds a better way.

Yeah, to be honest i didn't expect it to really get better , i did think the system would be better att resizing it all though.
As i said earlier , it's the resolution on the wildfire that isn't good enough to get the crispness of other phones.
I have a question about the .zip's you post too btw.
Would it be possible to switch the build.prop inside the archive and flash that, or is there some kinda checksum that would only allow the original file to be inside?
If it is possible to change the files , would you mind putting together a .zip that copies files into /system/fonts/ ?
I downloaded linux and stuff to try to get a rom-cooker working but my linux skills are fail. Hmm , is there a windows cooker available?

You can mod package without re-signing them with SignApk, it's only recommanded to signapk when you mod vanilla.apks

yes you can change build.probs in the zip
just make a folder called fonts and put that in one of the zips i added in this thread. remove build.prop and you should have a zip that update the fonts

I wanted to make some new clock faces for HTC Home. These work with the HTC Home Customizer ( http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html ) but I imagine you could install them without that by hand, i dont know why you'd want to though.
There's quite a few hours of work here to get these just right. Comments will be appreciated.
There are 10 in this first pack. I plan on making a few more packs.
Most of these are black fonts with beveling to make them look nice.
EDIT: Removed max compression on zip for those that dont have bz2. zip now has normal compression
EDIT2: rar version here: http://rapidshare.com/files/70732473/Kireols_HHC_Clocks_pack_1.rar.html
screens 6-10
I'm having trouble opening the zip file (Vista).... is it just me?
i had compression turned on max by default on my zip. that might affect you. zip fixed in top post
I'm using XP. Something is jacked up with your zip file. I get this error with all files when using WinRAR to try to unzip it.

Thanks for the efforts
If you need a Star Trek font or a Flintstone font, I can look to see what I still have.
I like LCD-type fonts and solid fonts with drop shadows. Are these paks hard to make? I'd like to try my hand at them.
Have you tried to do weather images? What does it take to make those?

They arent hard but are time consuming! for each font you have to find a good font, load up an image program and edit each individual number and symbol and make sure they are positioned correctly, the load to phone and test. I'd say each font is roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour for me. I havent tried anything but clocks yet. However I may in the future as everything is just an image file.
These are very nice, I like the claw and the German black the best, the only trouble is I cant use them because I have my tilt completely blacked out. But if you ever decided to change them to say...........red, then we would be in business. Thanks they look great!
good job they look nice i'll be adding one of them shortly.
Nice work! Not exactly my cup of tea, but I applaud you!
is it just me, or is there no zero in the claw group? the zero image looks the same as the one. sorry if someone has already mentioned this.
edit: also seems that the eight looks like a zero
kireol claw missing characters

I noticed the same thing here. I'm actually quite surprised that this has been out so long and only had one comment about the missing / malformed characters in this font. The claw happens to be my favorite of this group, but I can't use it if it doesn't display the right characters. I went sifting through the files to see if something was just mixed around and was disheartened to see that there was nothing I could fix from this end. Kireol: please distribute a new version of the claw font with all characters.
There was also a mention of different colors - yeah, count me in for that one too.
Beta!
I Put together this small application last night.
Pretty Simple, but it does the job well
Use it to convert Images from HDPI themes (nexus one, galaxy s, droid, etc.) To MDPI to use on your phone (Magic, G1 and other smaller devices)
Just select a bunch of image files (using shift) and press OK. This will decrease the selected images by 75%, suitable for an MDPI resolution screen.
Works on Snow Leopard. Not to sure about older operating systems
Could throw another one together to convert MDPI to HDPI on request.
Enjoy! suggestions welcome
Updated: Added some extras I guess I should call this release.. 0.8, because i'm still not sure if its working properly..
Nice i wil test it later when im on my mac but thanks this will save lots of time for loads of people
Crap i dont have a mac
Someone had asked in my thread regarding this. I found that 66% was adequate for mdpi as it brings it as close to its original resolution. The .9png's have to be excluded however when resizing. Even then, the end result isnt what i would call perfect but its a start.
Great work regardless.
Working on 10.5 Lepoard - Macbook Air - I havent tried out converting the files yet but it opens so thats good i'll say in about half hour if its working good Thanks
It shows that it's working for me, but it just closes before it even starts.
Come on guy. I want to Port over a few Themes to my G1. Any idea?
good stuff!
U guys don't mind having to resize certain images ? If no, then im almost done a beta version of hdpi-to-mdpi for theme-porter. Would be awesome if u cud test it out
I'll test it out. Hopefully it'll work better then this.

Actually, when I press it, it closes the whole thing.?
Sorry about that, it does it in the background once you confirm. Don't know how to make it show the progress. It takes about One minute to do 700 images on my computer.
.9.png files too?
And how does this effect the .9.png files that when edited you lose the guides and thus messing up your theme? I had noticed that if you so much as open some of them up and make any changes at all it will mess everything up.
Here's something worth looking into.

I believe they use apktool but I could be wrong. I think once you have it broken down, it requires that all pictures be resized also... not sure what the percentage or anything is, but I think there's another tool that can batch resize images.
Most times you use apktool to disassemble the apk then change some values in xml files. Then build a new apk and copy the compiled xml files from the newly built one to the original one. Actually you would then need to sign the modifed apk but as the stuff we usally goes into /system it's trusted and used anyway.
As for resizing bitmaps I did it on the wallpapers not because it was needed but because it was a waste of space using wallpapers made for 480x800 and 320x480. It propably also runs a little faster with wallpapers that has the correct size for the device but noone has measured it asfaik.
As for the new VoiceSearch I did try QVGA adjusting it but for some reason my modified version didn't work so I dropped it. Also the only thing you need to pass the initial dialog is to start it in landscape mode. After that it works fine in QVGA asfaik.
thanks guys! your always helpful

Since seeing the Dell Streaks UI (Dell Stage Launcher) i downloaded it and put it on my phone. As a launcher it works great, but there are alot of issues. So I am going to work on porting it over to the Eris, becasue it is a well built fast ui ( i am clocked at 710 and there is not lag). But I do need some help so this will be a slow process.
Here we Go
Ok im already pretty lost any suggestions on where to start?
we're all gonna need "a little" more than "i started to port a rom and am now stuck, please help."
what have you done? what's the ROM doing? booting? any errors when DDMS is running? what are they? logcat?
the streak has an 800×480 pixels resolution display, correct? so there are gonna be some sizing issues that you'll have to correct as well (honestly, a PITA)...
on top of that, isn't the streak still on 1.6? has it got a 2.2 update yet?
or... are you JUST using the launcher? or the entire ROM?
i don't mind helping anyone here when i can... just need a little to work with

Its not the rom i am porting its dells Stage UI it is a launcher
The streak is going to get 2.2 here soon. But this was leaked. I have it installed and it runs no FCs which is a plus. Off the bat i did notice that there is a massive screen resolution difference so it doesnt like to scale like you said. That is what i am trying to over come. I am sort of a newbie at this so i am doing research at the same time to expand and learn.
Somethings i am noticing.
1. It looks like portirate and landscape are backwards. So the widgets are all funky.
2. When first booting up there are no icons in the app draw.
At this current moment i am installing all the android development tools that i will need (Eclipse and so on, I already have Android Sdk installed). But im trying to get my hands on ADW's apk to compare the xml files for how ADW scales to different resolutions so i can apply that to Dells Stage UI
Thank You in advanced for dealing with a newbie who wants to learn.
gotcha!
i've got the files sitting here.
it looks pretty nice... but you'll have to resize all the png files each of the apks... as well, you'd have to edit (hex) a few of the xml's as well.
the resizing might be tricky, as the resolution isn't an "even" scale with our screen res. 320 x 480 "x" 1.5 = 480 x 720... but that would probably look ok and be best "match"
however, i've done LOTS of editing of the png's in many files, roms (theming, etc)... and it's quite "enjoyable" hex editing... meh, not really my strong point!
would definitely be "sexy" to pull it off! hopefully someone smarter then me can give some insight to the hex editing
did you have to use/install the LCD density change too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765639&highlight=dell

for png locations... use 7zip (or your favorite archiving program)... open up each of the apks...
you will find all the png's in the various folders
Has anyone got a port of the entire ROM to boot? Mine bootloops and I haven't had time to really look into it.

That is the first thing i did ( i did use seven zip) but there are no png files. I pulled appart the actual launcher to get started on that because i think if that gets fixed the widgets might be de-opxted. so they should scale. Other than that in all the files it is either xml or orl.....wait i found them lol great . Any sugestions on what programs to use to edit them?

Well, yes and yes, of course. I took DJ Steve's Froyo and ported it. Not real successfully yet, but I gave it a try. If I get a chance, I'll logcat the boot if it gives me such a thing.
okay I'm also working on this but for the sprint hero. The launcher and it's widgets install fine without any mods (running cyanogen 2.2) But of course since it's an mdpi device it's really out of whack. So far I was able to change the shared uid by removing the meta-inf from all the apks and resigning them all using release keys. I then used apk manager to decompile the apks. I can decompile and recompile the widgets no problem but when it comes to the launcher it doesn't compile. Of course without the launcher having the correct dimensions none of this really matters. If anyone has any ideas.
Almost forgot that this is basically the same stock launcher that comes in 2.2 so the dimensions could pretty much be copy pasted over

Would i just copy the bootanimation.zip to my phone then run it through this programme?
yes, once the program has created it, move it to your phone and replace the original one with the one you made
What about ones someone else has made but just need resizing?
I should imagine it would be the same as creating your own, Just edit the resolution and let the program generate it ??
Ive never actually used the program i just remember seeing it one time, and when you asked about it i remembered

if the animation comes in typical zip file, you should be able to unpack it and just resize all the pics,
