TP with CM9 Nightlies
Does anyone know how to set the DPI for a specific application? I want to run the system UI at 160 and a single app at 120 DPI. I've seen this done on other devices/roms, but not on CM9 -w- TouchPad.
Thanks in advance

Those are tablet ui type ROMs for specific devices like my Galaxy S2 that has a tablet ui option... seriously before asking something such as this pretty much proves you didn't bother to read even the opening posts of ANY of the ROMs here in the forum which needless to say is pretty lame

Good morning to you too. While I always appreciate help and guidance where I can get it, I do not appreciate condescension. I have read the opening posts on many of the ROMs. I did not see where it says "All your DPI questions go here". Also, I've posted on the ROM threads and PM'd a ROM dev but not received any answer yet.
My mom is going into surgery and then a lengthy hospital stay. I gave her a tablet so she can a bit more comfortable and entertained while stuck in bed for weeks. I am trying to figure out how to fix this one app's display before she goes in.
I ask you a favor, what is my best shot at getting a specific answer? Your expertise would be much appreciated.
What App are you having problems with?

It's that blasted "Words with Friends". She's hooked.
You can't see the chat portion of the app at 160 DPI, you can see it at 120 DPI but then the rest of the TP's UI is too small for her. So I'm looking to get just WWF at 120 while leaving the rest of the Tab's DPI at 160.
Is this something that has to be cooked into the ROM?
Any ideas?

Of course, its an app I dont use. lol. I've never heard of changing the DPI for each app. But maybe you can change it to a DPI somewhere in the middle. I use 140 and it looks great. I've heard changing the DPI can break the play store, but I have never had a problem with it.
Also, I've seen some apps that dont fit on the screen like you describe. Does it do that in both landscape and portrait mode? The ones I have seen only do that in one orientation.

I have tried 132 and 140 only 120 shows all the UI. And it's hard-wired to go landscape on the tablet. I tried to get it to go Portrait with no joy.
Dagr8 over on the SG Note threads has made a "Per App DPI" ROM which is very cool. I want to do the samehting on the TP but I did not know if it was a ROM thing or just knowing where to set the DPI thing; example in "build.prop" file.

Simple answer... the function is not available for the TouchPad and only available for a select FEW devices (phones) as there really isn't a need for the function considering the size of most tablets... you can stop looking or stressing waiting for an answer as that's pretty much it..... its a great feature on my SGS but convincing a dev to do the work for a tablet is quite a task

There is no "how to" for the functionality yet (a todo i think), but there is for the implementation.

That looks like its specific to that ROM. It modifies the build.prop file as well as adds a hyb.prop file which controls the different app DPIs. I'm not a dev so I wouldnt know how to add that to the TouchPad. But it looks like it might be possible. That would be awesome to have that modified for the TouchPad though. Especially since our DPIs are all over the place. But as it stand now, I dont think we have that option.

Most 12 year olds have to clean their room before they can go out to play. This can make some of them angry and bitter. Just remember they are mad at their mom, not you.
As an adult and experienced tecnophile, I am humored by their social ignorance. I take solace that the real world will kick them in the "you-know-what" someday.

My girl and i both have G1s. Her phone uses DXtop and is not rooted. Her DXtop has the ability to orginize APPs in her APP drawer. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything that alows my rooted G1 to do the same. Is there anything out there that can manage APPs in the drawer on a rooted G1 running cyan 4.0.4?

Advanced launcher is a home replacement. I'm interested in a theme or application that is not running over my original home but allows the APP drawer to be customized. Besides, it also states that it is not usable with Cyan 4.0.4. Any other ideas?

its not a home replacement like dxtop....it actually replaces the one you have
did you even read the op properly?
I'm confused by myself. So here's the description: u17 ist still the old version for cupcake releases. There is a standalone and a replacement. Both are for cupcake based builds.
Then there ist v2.0.1. It's the new version. It's for donut based builds. And it's currently only the replacement version, standalone will come.
So don't use v2.0.1 on cupcake based builds (like cyanogen's 4.0.4 stable) and don't use u17 or u17_replacement on donut based builds (like the cyanogen experimental branch).

i.e........ u17 is compatible with 4.0.4 but not donut
read the op and use the replacement version instructions to fix up your build

i know what you mean xD
yesterday i spent 3 hours debugging another teams program. they had 6000 SLIC and it crashed on run time. I figured what the hell, im up for a challenge. well the whole program crashed because of one letter
fliers instead of flier
both flier and fliers were valid so it compiled fine but crashed when it was run. the exception being thrown was nowhere near (in a completely unrelated class) where the error was and the debugger on eclipse missed it completely.
turns out, the guys made bets on how long it would take me to find it. (i beat all their wagers. i told them to give me the pot or id report their asses. see, im super productive XP )
because of that diversion, i didnt get my team to finish their project so i made them stay after xD

LOL. Yea one lil letter, number, space, or character and that throws everything off. I've had to go thru line by line studyin everything to see whats been wrong and after awhile everything just blurs together. Luckly I'm workin on a couple different projects that use arbortext which makes everything alot easier. But there's those times arbortext messes up and its back to lookin at the code in text pad or word pad and wow you already know how that is.

I don't know the max size, but I know that the clip needs to be under 30 secs. I tried to make one larger/longer and it didn't work. So I would say .5 mb's in size and no longer than 30 secs for my guess.

My wife is going blind and uses the tab as an e-reader. I need to make the fonts larger on the kindle app than they already are. I've used lcd density changer to set the density to 300. That has been sufficient for the past 3 months but her vision is getting worse. In order for be to set higher than 300 I need to edit the build.prop. This I can do but I'm not confident in my ability to recover from any boot loops or what not that an incompatible setting my cause.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8184409
It doesn't save to build.prop so it's temporary. A reboot will get rid of the density set with this program.
Test value with this app 1st, then go and edit build.prop when you've found the perfect density
Cheers, let's hope it works!

Ok new suggestion, get Blade Buddy from Market, go into Advanced Settings, and change qemu sf lcd density option. If I remember right it lets you input with a textbox. After setting a value, press 'Menu' hardware button and choose Apply, NOT Save. After, it will ask to reboot UI so do it.
Hope it works this time

A little iniciative on your behalf to actually read up on the specs and you'd find that the TouchPad wont be able to support it when released because the resolution is too low. Whether that can be ported remains to be seen. Next time please do a little reading before starting a new thread with a question to whose answer can easily be found
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Ummm ok, I did read up on the specs. But I didn't know what the resolution of our TouchPad was. Secondly I thought we can change the resolution by adjusting the DPI? If I'm wrong oh well. Well it doesn't matter anyway.
No need to be so hostile. And yes I did search before hand. And btw, I was even on the kickstart page to read on this issue. I did find a few other donators who wondered the same thing.

For those who wants to increase the odds of our devices being support go here and run their app. This gives them an idea of what kind of interest the public has and the device we are running so they can design accordingly.

DPI change is a simulated change in aesthetic looks but physical hardware is what matters in these type of compatibility ccases
