Does anyone know what is the resolution of X8? cuz Swype have a lot of file that depends of the screen resolution of your phone. Will run in my phone?
Sure, the resolution of the X8 is 320x480 pixels.
EDIT: It *should* run just fine on your phone, considering my girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy 5 which has a 320x240 screen and Swype works on it with no problems.

I know that, I was referring to the resolution of the phone, not the fact that it was obviously Samsung.
using Rom toolbox, the LCD portion of the build.prop is gone where as in my skyrocket it shows just fine as well as on my brothers Galaxy tab 2 7 inch.
if i use LCD modder pro to change it from the default to anything higher or lower then my Prime just boots to a black screen.
has anyone ever successfully changed their DPI settings on their primes?
all i wanted to do was enable the Phone UI instead of the tablet UI.
it almost feels like theres no real way to do this since Rom toolbox doesn't even show that section to change.
nothing?
i find it odd that no one cares about changing LCD density on the prime.
even searching for LCD or LCD Density or Rom Toolbox, there isn't even much regarding the subject in any of the sub forums.
I changed mine by editing build.prop.
Worked fine.

what did you change yours to then?
i have tried going up and down form the default and anything i choose always results in booting to black screen.
120 as this is a density that is acceptable for Google Play to work.
I've since changed it back, as I didn't like the obvious scaling on the bottom bar.
Other than that it was perfect though.
Just change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=160 to ro.sf.lcd_density=120
I didn't use an app.

Hi,
First I would like to thank the developpers of this ROM as it really gave my tf201 a new life. Working really great so far. My only problem would be the font rendering, all fonts look really blurry. I have used iFonts to change the default font and it is now a lot better but still fonts are not crystal clear. I have searched the forum for quite some time but haven't found anything on the matter. Has someone experienced the problem as well ? Is there a workaround ?
Thank you
It's not possible to make it crystal clear because prime's resolution is 1280*800 on 10.1 inch screen.
Nowadays phones have 1920*1080 on 5 inch screens and it's equal to 441 ppi pixel density. Asus prime's pixel density is only 149.
I was under the impression that fonts were not that bad with stock ROM (but I only just got the tablet and almost directly put KatKiss on it, so I might be mistaken). Changing the default font with iFonts made quite a difference already.
Anyone notice that the resolution shows 2k on this device but the icons and pictures and other things dont look as crisp as they should? They look sort of blown out.

I noticed it on my Axon 7 phone which has a QHD display too.
icons are probably incorrect resolution, 2k screen isn't that popular. Also you might have smart resolution on, (i never notice it and therefore doubt it does anything at all)

Smart resolution is off but screen (especially fonts) arent very smooth. Maybe its the EMUI ROM

I have TAB S 10.5" (Lineage OS 14.x) and M5 10.8" (latest) ... If I set dpi 800 in dev options, I see zero difference in sharpness compare to 2 tablets (2k oled pentile vs. 2k ips true), oled is vivid but it is not crispier

Okay, thank you I thought I may have had a bad unit or that the tablet was using some trash screen. Thanks again for the response

technically, the IPS screen would be better, as it has RGB layout instead of pentile.
But the resolution on both is high enough you probably can't tell the difference anyway.
I think its strange youtube will never give an option of more than 1080p

Currently the "smallest width" is set to 627 dpi. Would you recommend boosting that up to 800 dpi then?

I came from TAB S and 800 dpi ("smallest width") gave me same experience. Only issue is that, every reboot reset this dev value to 756. (+ in settings/display view mode: small; font size: normal)

Quick question, how do you get it to stick after reboot? Mine keeps going back to 627 dpi.

I boost mine to 915 (I think!), though I have to bump up the font size if I do that. Having come from a Tab S, that seems closer to a similar use of screen real estate (e.g. in YouTube, it shows 5 videos per row on the home page). Unfortunately, it means the other settings can no longer be accessed, so I need to reboot if I want to change anything
I'm surprised that more people aren't complaining about this. I think Huawei have simply taken the interface from the 8.4 version without any changes, so things are just bigger all round but you get no advantage to choosing the 10.8 version

Someone had posted just last week that the M5 feels like a large phone and not a tablet, likely due to it not identifying itself as a tablet. This causes annoyance with some apps as they draw as if they are on a phone, which when stretched to a tablet screen not not good. Instead of making use of the extra screen space and resolution, things just becomes hard to use.

I have mine set to 1250 dpi and I love it. So much real-estate, looks clean, higher quality and since its on the Resurrection Remix Rom, the dpi stays at that custom number even after reboot. Some things are hard to tap at times but I use GMD gestures and control the tablet with gestures and tasker

The Resurrection Remix Rom makes things easy to set a better resolution that works well for the bigger screen real-estate ☺

Check out my latest response with pictures included. I use RR rom with 1250 dpi and everything works atleast 99.9% accurately for me and allows me to see things better, even on reboot

Use RR rom as it has dpi number customization thats works perfectly and stays on reboot!

Look up vanced youtube apk on google. Default youtube on this tablet does not use a specific codec that is required "VP9". Vanced youtube has this codec in its settings that supports 2k option videos

No thanks, not rooting my device. Had a very bad experience with rooting a while back which bricked a brand new phone and got no help here.

I really wish I could, sadly I can't get an unlock code anymore. :crying:
Does anyone know how to change the screen resolution on the tab s7 plus to make everything on my screen smaller.
Thank you
You can change it at Settings | Display | Screen zoom.

You can change font size but again thats not resolution. Your tablet is running highest resolution by default so you can't increase it

You don't understand resolution. Its not the same as zoom but zoom is what you want to lower.
you could go into developer options and change zoom manually if you wan't a more granular control.

Lol I am not the OP. I do understand screen resolution. I've got a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and a Galaxy Tab S7+.
On the Note, you can change resolution between QHD and HD+ and even 720 I think. On the tablet there are no such options.

That's there on the phone mostly to save battery life(personally never use it), on a small screen it might be an ok trade off. I don't think many people are dishing out 800+ on this tablet to run at 1080p, just to save 30 min of battery life. There are apps in the app store that will let you do this. BE VERY CAREFUL you can SOFT BRICK your tablet.
Edit: Did not read the full post before answering. The DPI setting is not a resolution change, you guys are right. Sorry... Will leave the answer below anyway as it might help someone.
----------
You can change the DPI (named "Minumim width") on the Developer Settings.
I know that on most phones you can go as high as 597 without triggering tablet mode.
On a tablet the sky (and the graphical performance and glithces) is the limit, but i've tested here on my Galaxy Tab S7 and could go so far as 1800 without big issues.

Thanks for this, but could you please clarify if this would work from the device itself without needing root?
I am rooted therefore I don't know...Anyway, "su" command is for calling root permission on linux so I think root is needed.

Yeah that's what I suspected because the su command didn't work when I tried it.
Thank you very much for your reply by the way.
No problem...actually, most of tweaks or upgrades needs rooted devices therefore some questions about non rooted devices are obsolete.
Therefore, when you see some cool feature or tweak, expect root permission.
How do you make the MW change stick/permanent? Every time I change the dpi it is different when I next check.
