I seek the apk to the size of the wallpaper sets

which. apk is for the settings for wallpaper in charge? I am going to PERSONALIZE DISPLAY - WALLPAPER - ALBUM and there I only have a small window where I can have a range ausäwhlen. There are roms from which the entire screen is to choose. I can change the window in the size, but not only in the broad 800th of 400 x Who can help me?
many Thanks

If you're asking for the size of the wallpaper as width × height, it's 960 × 800.

No I do not mean. in Rom there is an apk where you can cut the size of the background image. if I'm doing a photo and go on to use as background. then a cutout window is where I can zoom the size of what is to be used as background. I can not cut the entire screen but only one part. but there are roms with Sense 3.5 with which the entire screen is used.

if i understand what you are asking, then you must use another ROM with sense 3.0 +, because your seems cannot use the whole picture...

320Dpi to 240Dpi

so my note has 320dpi native, what happens when i change it to 240dpi?
are there any advantages?Disadvantages?

This is being discussed on a separate thread, bit I think it is a good idea for a thread of its own.
I tried it, and the screen is much larger. That means most things in the screen are much smaller. It appears to make most launchers smoother as well.
I find it too small for my tired old eyes, but if your sight is good, I think it is a marvellous idea. It basically becomes a miniature tablet, and most apps seem to take advantage of that.
The stock phone dialer seems to be one of the very few TW apps that does not resize. TW also does not allow more cols and rows (IIRC), so it would be best to use another launcher, and perhaps Go Dialer.

Actually the thread is here, so this is a duplicate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487309

you see more stuff in most apps for example in settings you see more options at once. most launchers do ok as long as you adjust rows columns although sometimes widgets look weird

i run darkyrom at 240dpi only. nothing is to small for me to read and everything but s-memo seems to work perfectly *you get some weird lines, just color over it with a white and go on with drawing .
i run adw ex launcher with 10x10 homescreen layout and 7 icon dockbar.

It´s so EASY!
It´s easy: Everbody who is interested in this, should definitly give it a shot. Get DPI Changer from the market for free and try it out yourself. There es nothing (again: nothing!) that will happen to your phone, you are always able to go back to 320 again without ANY issues.
The only one thing everbody has to do before is to install another launcher (I can fully recommend Go Launcher (ex), IMAO it´s the smoothest for our Gnote) just for that one reason: Damned TouchWiz doesn´t scale correctly.
Try it out folks, deside for yourself, it´s worth it!

just modify the build.prop density to 240. The default 320 is too big and it pains the eye after many usages!

there are a couple ways of doing it
the 2 above and also an app called "Rom Toolbox" which i recommend more then the others because it also gives you alot more options for different things other then DPI aswell.

Can someone upload 2 screenshots with both resolution please?

The biggest advantage is that you can see more in the screen. Especially useful with context menu, browser, various apps and so on.
First 240 Dpi images
Images for 320

Thanks drgopoos... 240 looks more like a phone, and 320 looks more like a mini tablet... One question, does dpi is the same as ppi?
I see my iPhone 4svis 330 ppi the Gnex is 320ppi and the note is 236... does that mean the resolution is lower?

i thought that 240 dpi is kinda crap but now changed from 320 to 240dpi and im enjoying it, looks so cool and more comfortable ;D

It means that the screen has less physical pixels per inch, so it can be same resolution as a smaller screen that has bigger ppi.
Which means that even tho u have less ppi on the gnote, you still have more resolution than the other phones cause of the size of the gnote's screen.
Ppl say dpi for screens but the correct term is indeed ppi. dpi is for printers.

Does the CriskeloRom can also change to DPI or not ? need depend on the launcher or not ?

What is the best DPI for our Note

Hi folks!
I was just wondering what is the best DPI settings for our note without hindering usability.
I would like a general opinion.
320dpi fanboys not welcome!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

i run gingerbread at 240dpi, and ICS alpha at 213dpi
seem to be the best ones for each android version
160dpi on GB and well on ICS makes everything a little bit to small
240dpi is perfect due to 90% of phones being stock at this.
*s-memo does mess up on any dpi not 320dpi so remember that
213dpi on ICS brings out full tablet mode but keeps the screen readable

Where can i find info on this ics alpha? id love to give it a shot.

Yeah it's a Galaxy Note, are you jealous?

I've set mine to 240, and loving it. I think it's the best setup for usability and aesthetic for the Gnote. I don't think I would ever go back to the default DPI after switching it to 240.

240
From my experience 240 is by far the best. It is too small for me, but I have poor eyesight (one of the main reasons for buying the Note). For most people it should be fairly easy to adjust too, I would think.

Yeah 240dpi is pretty awesome so much screen to work with. Only problem is my eyes are kinda bad but I still love it regardless.

cmon guys... DPI? that's for printers...
The correct term for screens is PPI, and, it's a physical characteristic of the screen, it's impossible to change a screen's PPI after it's manufactured.
The 320dpi, 240dpi thing that you talk about and which android refers to as lcd density internally is like a virtual pitch, the spacing between each pixel displayed on the screen.
That's why when you decrease the spacing between each pixel from 320 to 240 for example you get much more spacing on the screen cause more pixels fits on the screen.
So a more correct term than DPI or PPI is PITCH. (which isn't also 100% correct cause you can't also change pitch of a screen as it is fixed, but it's like a virtual pitch setting that we can change to "fool" the OS into displaying things as if the phone had a different screen installed)

There are so many advantages to rooting. Imagine running your very own Windows PC without admin rights? That what carriers, and even vendors like Samsung, are trying to force on us. It's BS.

The point is that using a correct term to name something is sometimes not bad at all
[/OT]
Even though lowering the "virtual density" to 240 will allow for more real estate on the display, I am not totally sure that the need to consult an ophalmologist won't increase likewise after that.
It is looking good when you take a snapshot though.

Nah, i think we'll continue with the term "DPI" (Dots Per Inch) But you're right, there's a huge difference between DPI and PPI, but that's not the case since no one has used the term "PPI" here.

Ideal DPI for N5

Hey guys,
I found 400 DPI to be ideal on the N5.
Default is way too huge. What other DPI's have you guys tried?

I found a DPI of 400 way to small, the distance between the icons on the homescreen just become too long. I'm back on 480, because I like the big icons

IIRC 380 will add the extra column of icons so you don't have those massive apps.

I don't really get the DPI subject

I'm not so sure I get the whole DPI subject, I thought DPI referred only to the "printed resolution" in other words , that DPI is the same as PPI but you talk about DPI from printed things and PPi for digital things, am I wrong?
The nexus 6 comes with a stock value of 480 DPI and if I want to have more space available when I'm using chrome, so I can fit more text on the screen I should lower it, but by doing it am I reducing the quality also?
I'd appreciate your input on this :laugh:

DPI refers to androids scaling where as PPI is the physical amount of pixels per inch on the screen so a lower DPI makes things be smaller on screen (which is what you want) where as higher makes text and things larger.
Also, stock DPI on the nexus 6 is 560 where as the PPI of the screen is 493. Personally, I like 520 DPI as its smaller than stock, but not so small that you can't see anything

Thanks for taking the time to explain [emoji57] , and every android uses 560 dpi as default ? What do manufacturers take into account when choosing the DPI, only the screen size ?

Nah, just the n6 uses 560 that I know of. It all comes down to personal preference on what you like.
When a manufacturer chooses a DPI they look at no only screen size, but resolution of the display because as PPI goes up DPI needs to as well

Not necessarily. Generally yes - but with big screens at higher resolutions, they may want to opt for more screen real estate than maintaining a proportional ratio to smaller screened devices.

There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about this subject.
Fact is, that PPI and DPI are actually synonymous.
One pixel is one dot. Hence the number of pixels per inch is the same as the number of dots per inch.
The "standard" DPI/PPI resolution for Android is 160. It is so because the first Android device, the HTC Dream, was physically 160 DPI.
Now the way it works in Android, is that the SOFTWARE needs to be made AWARE of the physical resolution of the screen. This is why the build.prop file often has a parameter "ro.sf.lcd_density". This is the DPI/PPI value for the physical screen.
The kernel tells it what the overall resolution is, in the case of Nexus 6, 2560x1440. Knowing the DENSITY, and knowing the overall resolution, you can calculate the physical size of the display.
The reason why this information is necessary, is to be able to SCALE things -- text, UI elements like buttons, images -- such that they take a proper physical space on the screen. I.e., if you have a font size that displays with a character height of 1/3 inch on an HTC DREAM, then using the same number of PIXELS on a Nexus 6 would result in a character height of 1/10 inch, i.e., too small to actually read.
So instead, the fonts/UI elements/etc. are sized using something referred to as a DiP -- Density independent Pixel. This is, basically, 160 dpi. So what it does, is it SCALES everything into NATIVE pixels by the ratio between ro.sf.lcd_density and 160, so that things look the same size on the screen, and you are actually able to read it.
Now, it is technically incorrect to screw with the value of ro.sf.lcd_density, since this will convince Android that the screen is larger or smaller than it actually is. However, some people like a tighter or looser UI, so it is there in case they want to tweak it... within reason.

So basically a device like the nexus which has a 1080p 5" screen has a 445 PPI and a 445 DPI and the nexus 6 has a 5.96" display which is 493 PPI and 493 DPI, I just get confused for example because on a macbook pro retina you get a resolution which is greater than QHD but still get a "working space" of a 720p display and I assume it has to do with the DPI
