Guest mrmrmrmr Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I am not trying to achieve something which needs development. Just trying to understand why people select lower density. What is the advantage if it will not supply more space ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SomeoneStoleMyYodafone Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I've some different and possibly interesting observations on the black-and-white issue. It seems to me that booting (or rebooting) my Streak when it is charging... with debug.hw.sf=1... causes B&W video. To cut it short, I was just about to tear my hair out when I noticed this behaviour quite by accident. Previously I'd applied and removed the sysctl.conf edits, but I needed to rule them out. So in utter exasperation I did a factory data reset. Immediately after this I edited build.prop and set debug.hw.sf = 1, without touching the heapsize or doing the sysctl.conf edits. The same issue could be reliably reproduced - B&W video after phone was started when it was charging. Unplugged charger. Rebooted with charger unplugged and all was fine. At no point did I try clearing the dalvik-cache, though. Anyone want to check this out? Or am I headed for the funny farm? P.S. I'm now back to debug.hw.sf=0. IMO I'm not going to trade sluggish UI menus for embarrassing B&W video... Edited October 5, 2010 by SomeoneStoleMyYodafone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cue_32 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Another benefit to this Build.prop... it charges FAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bostonguy Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hey guys, I'm looking to just make the edits to the build.prop file that restores the native Android app menus (if that's what I understand you've done here) without all of the other edits. I've already customized my build.prop file some and my Streak is fine and stable as is. Does anybody (Stephen?) know which line I should change to just get the stock menus? Additionally any listing of all the changes in this file (provided in this thread) wold be great if it exists. Thanks for any help, and great hacking/tweaking stuff going on here!

Guest lbj23numb1 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 when ever i do a normal reboot the video and camera turn black and white... i have to clear dalvik to fix everytime.... is there a way to permanently fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your build.prop, I mean that it is the ro.build.FEATURE_BENDER_UI=0 Because, when I diff my previous file and the new file, I have two difference : Previous build.prop : debug.sf.hw=0 ro.build.FEATURE_BENDER_UI=1 New build.prop : debug.sf.hw=1 ro.build.FEATURE_BENDER_UI=0 Could you get back to us if I am wrong or not ?

Guest neil tring Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hmm thought i'd register and ask a question lol I've edited the build.prop rebooted etc but nothing appears different, specially with the menu still being on the right hand side. Running 2.1, rooted, busybox installed. Not sure what im doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 check you edited both lines the CONFIG_BENDER_UI etc are in build.prop twice by default both need editing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bostonguy Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 yep the bender ui is the dell menu tweak, so disabling it gives stock android Thanks guys, that worked a treat. Now if we could just get the stock Android taskbar and shade (and portrait lock screens). Hopefully the custom rom's will start flowing once Dell gives up all the right bits. Thanks again.

Guest wyxwyx Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Did the screen resolution changed? Very small icons after.... How canv I revert it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirrdhyn Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 In your build.prop, you have : ro.sf.lcd_density=120 And in the stock build.prop, you have : ro.sf.lcd_density=160 In the stock build.prop, you have the "native" definition of your screen. As you like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mirrdhyn Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) No change for the screen resolution I mean, is just to change the dots per inch (dpi) setting. But, it is possible that I am wrong. Edited October 7, 2010 by Mirrdhyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mirrdhyn Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 As I said in my previous comment, this parameter doesn't change the resolution of your screen, you have forever 800x480. But, this parameter change the dpi settings. With 120, you feel have the bigger resolution but no :) If you change this parameter on your Microsoft Windows, your screen resolution doesn't change too, but you feel the same as on your Streak.
