[Q]Pixel Density and Games - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there dev's and users...sorry to bother...
i've noticed that SE xperia mini,mini pro,active,live with walkman have the same cpu/gpu/ram as xperia arc/ray/play but they have lower screen res...
sooo....
if you use a game which is built for arc/ray/play it would run on the lower res devices but some buttons/options wouldn't be able to be used because of the screen resolution...
is there any way to fix the apk of the game so it could be used in the lower res devices?
because those games aren't available for our devices normally...

no games' resolution cant be changed but there is a way to change the screen density of your phone.Once i accidentally changed my screen density my phone was completely destroyed so i wouldnt suggest you to try it.If you want to though try googl-ing -> android screen density tool or somethin like that

Change the screen resolution dpi in build.prop. needs root. Apps on market will also do it for you

[Q] is it possible to reduce screen resolution in android?

is it possible to reduce screen resolution in android? so as to save power or play games more smoothly just like on a pc for example?
There's an app for Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7938982&postcount=1
will reducing resolution actually increase battery life or play games more smoothly or i am being wrong?
anyone? .........
thread up..........anyone?
As for battery no. The screen is still lighting up the same amount of pixels and same brightness etc... Gaming i doubt u will see a difference. Tell us if u find othwise tho. Hope that helped

Changing screen density isn't the same as changing resolution. Apps choose which icons to show depending on the "screen-density" value reported by the device. So higher density devices will have larger and more detailed icon graphics, etc.
As far as saving battery life, the screen typically uses most battery which varies slightly depending on the brightness setting. One root user found he could save battery by only showing red colours (requires changes to the display driver).
Shrinking the screen like in Note 3 will save energy...anybody found a way how to do this in other phones? application?

[Q] change tablets resolution

I have a Tomtec excellent 8 inch tablet with screen resolution of 800x600. After some playing i saw that many games dont work very well at this resolution. sometimes i can play a game and some of the side is missing. very annoying . Dont know if its possible but might it be possible for some games to change my resolution?
If it's rooted, then you can change the dpi by using this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer&hl=en.
oke looks great. I have not yet rooted it but was thinking about doing that soon so im going to try this for sure
havent tried all the density change apps there are around, but it dont seem to work with the ones i tried. I cant stretch my ratio of my screen so it doesnt help.
Need an app that can make a stretch 480:800 to a 4:3 screen with 600:800

[Q] CHange Pixel Density on Galaxy S2?

Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i would like to change the Pixel Density of. It is rooted currently, but I just want to be able to read texts clearer and play my games and watch videos more sharp and crisp.. i know there are afew apps on the android market which can do this, but if i want clear/sharpness which is the recommended pixel density(240 is the default).
Also, i need something that will work perfectly on Galaxy S2, like, not make the widgets or icons or anything out of proportion...i want things to auto fit
It's in theory impossible since our display is 480 by 800.. If you want a better display sell your SGS2 and buy a Nexus
how is it impossible? there are apps which change the density...
cant i just use a custom home screen launcher?
have a look at hyperdroid. It is MDPI compatible
There is an app that magically creates more physical pixels on you screen? Wow how much is that and could it make my hdtv into a 3D tv too?.. Serious how do you think thats possible? If you want a better pixel density buy a phone with an hd screen because you definatly cannot change it...

Unless I misunderstood your question, there is no way on gods earth that you can create more pixels (ie higher density) than what there physically is.
The best you can do is to max out the screen brightness which gives the illusion of a better picture.

Of course you can change the density, just edit system/build.prop with rootexplorer..
Despite the smart answers above, I know what you mean, and love this app on my Asus TF-101

No need for that much complication, you just need to decrease the pixel value, well you can do that by editing build.prop or just use a simple app from market called LCD Resolution (Root).
But no, how on earth would you technically increase dpi while I9100 is given a 480x800 resolution hardware wise.
Wish that was possible and I could made my 1680x1050 monitor a HD one
why you would like do that ?
yes, i'm courious too, why?

Xperia S resolution

Hi all , My xperia S isnt super speedy with its dual core cpu , so i was thinking , maybe the 720p resolution is harder for the phone to render so , is there a way to change the resolution of the screen to qHD or something ?
And i know there are some apps that change DPI , i want resolution change , like on a pc monitor .....
You can't do that. The screen only supports one mode.
Not possible

its just sony's ICS
if you want a smooth phone try unlocking your bootloader and get CM9.1, its smoother then the ROM from Sony. And if Jellybean ever gets the camera fixed i'd suggest to get CM10 instead.

[Q] Changing a device screen resolution (TOTALLY without any error/bug)

I owned a Sony Xperia S lt26i.
it will lags constantly while playing some games, i think it is because of its high screen resolution. (correct me if i'm wrong)
If i want to change whole device screen resolution from 1280x720 to 960x540
I just need to change the lcd density/screen resolution at build.prop and change all apps to 960x540 compatible (included launcher) , then change the details of my model to Xperia P (which is a 960x540 resolution)
Is it my steps will work?
any help is appreciate :laugh:
bump~
bump is allowed?
