Guest ak47m Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Ok so I just became interested in changing the DPI after seeing Dj_Steve's photos of 1.5.3 and was wondering what do you believe is the optimum DPI setting for a screen of the Dell Streak's size? 160? 180? 240? I liked the 240 dpi but did not like how some graphics were messed up like in the gallery app but everything was so crisp looking. Edited January 5, 2011 by ak47m

I liked the 240 dpi but did not like how some graphics were messed up like in the gallery app but everything was so crisp looking. its all preference, 160 is stock, everything works fine as far as standard android apps go (dialer, messaging, maps, etc) I've used 180/190 and it boosts up the size of most things enough that everything doesn't seem so tiny, but you can still take advantage of the screen size in menu's and whatnot... 240 is great for compatibility with other problematic apps since the Evo4g is stock 240 as is the Nexus One IIRC, most 3.7-4.3" phones are set at 240... 240 on the streak is ridiculously large stuff though. try different settings out and see what you like.

I tried 140, 180 and 200. I still love the stock 160 most. And I'm 22 years old :unsure:

I like 200 - 240 for stuff like Navigation but then it makes the Gallery app look weird, like some of the graphics are resized while parts of it arent.
Guest CharlieBareham Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I usually use between 120 and 140. I hate huge buttons. Some things don't work properly but on the whole it all works perfect.
Guest Edrill Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I like 140 best! Guess I like to see more stuff per page! Haven't really tried anything over 160, but maybe I'll give it a shot sometime.
Guest DMax99 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 lol...i like 140 as well i think 120 is too small :unsure:
Guest adzman808 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 180 or 190 for me... (but i'm an old man = poor eyes) bigger than 190 & my sim lock screen wont dispaly the bottom row of buttons
Guest superutp Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 180 or 190 for me... (but i'm an old man = poor eyes) bigger than 190 & my sim lock screen wont dispaly the bottom row of buttons 160 seems most stable for me....180/190 feels the best though(even though I am young :unsure:) sadly the notification bars interferes in some applications/games...
Guest adzman808 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 160 seems most stable for me....180/190 feels the best though(even though I am young B)) sadly the notification bars interferes in some applications/games... so that's what causes that, i didwonder :unsure: (old & stupid) the 'fix' for that is to hide the not bar (either in adw settings or by dragging ur finger up the screen)
Guest fards Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I tend to use 140(for sharpness) or 160, but sometimes swap to 240 for the odd game that runs much quicker
Guest the_didge Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Im on 130 (and have been for a while). but then again i use 1900x1200 resolution on a 15.4" monitor... i like to fit more on the screen, the more the better. all i have is one homescreen with everything on. its all depending on your eyesight and how fancy you want everything to look.
Guest superutp Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 so that's what causes that, i didwonder :unsure: (old & stupid) the 'fix' for that is to hide the not bar (either in adw settings or by dragging ur finger up the screen) ha ha....my young n 'wise' self did happen to try doing exactly what u said before, without any success...yeah but I havent tried disabling it totally in the settings...so I cud try tht..B)
Guest DMax99 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 140 makes my Ultra Keyboard way smaller though.....not sure why it's only effecting that keyboard
