How do you get you phone to scroll like that? Mine just scrolls straight across.

Watch at 0:49 as casper moves the G2X.

[littleNoobGirl]

0:49 the phones starts moving without him touching it.

I have G2X and my touch screen is much more responsive!

(I have CM7 on it, I tested other roms and it was almost the same)

[dezzmond1234]

What's the app for that setting on your phone?

[Joe333x]

What keyboard are you using on your G2x I like the look of it especially because of the number row

So this actually increases your LCD screen resolution?

[Uejji]

@COLDICEPro (Simplified for brevity)

Android generally renders screen elements in terms of "dp"s, density-independent pixels. dps are 1:1 with px on 160dpi, and scale accordingly depending on the device's reported dpi, with lower dpi values generating fewer pixels per dp, higher dpi values vice-versa.

Android sees the G2X as a 320dp x 533dp screen. Changing the dpi to 190 changes that to 404dp x 674dp, so in order to scale to the same physical size, everything is drawn about 20% smaller.

[Uejji]

@COLDICEPro Of course, some things (such as drawable images) are handled differently. Developers can include graphics that are drawn depending on a wide variety of conditions about the device, though most commonly the device dpi. Currently, Android natively supports low dpi (120), medium dpi (160) and high dpi (240), so whenever the dpi is set to a different value, it chooses the closest drawable and scales it up or down appropriately.

[Uejji]

@COLDICEPro (tl;dr version)

Changing the Android device dpi can increase your decrease your "virtual" screen resolution, but of course doesn't actually modify the number of pixels on the display.

It's similar to running an LCD screen at the wrong resolution. Things generally look a bit "off" unless you're using the appropriate resolution for the screen size and dpi.

What is the calculator widget faller

[Outlawbiker1971]

That's 'Go Launcher' on the G2x.

[proteanview]

Are you using a special skin or is that a special UI for the G2X?

[Outlawbiker1971]

I honestly don't know of any free apps that let you edit framework. There may well be one out there, not saying there aren't. I just don't know of any personally.

[rwo23]

anyway to do this without a pay app?

[Outlawbiker1971]

Hmmm... where can you find the manufacture date? When I go into 'about phone', under 'Baseband Version' there is a date (March 27, 2011)... would that be it? If not, where do I look?

[javolin13]

I didn't notice any LCD bleeding on your phone? What is the manufacture date?

[Outlawbiker1971]

I'm running 'Go Launcher EX' instead of the stock launcher and I don't see any ill effects. However going back to the stock launcher and opening the app drawer, I can see what you mean. They look a bit blurry or something. Like I said in the video, you can choose 200, 220 or any other number that might make things look better to you.

not bad except the apps in the app drawer look choppy
