BA Screen Resolution Hack (960 X 1280 dpi) at 268288 colors

[Ivanhoe_888]

Oh shit ... it didnt get in ....
sorry folk i forgot to zip it up before attaching.

there you go ...

btw ... i'm already using the hack ... no side effects at all ... just a more beautiful screen !!!!

[Ivanhoe_888]

16 bit = 64K = 65536 colors

1 bit = 65536/64 = 1024 colors

18 bit = 262K = 268288 colors (262 X 1024)

Does it work for Blue Angels

[Ivanhoe_888]

The answer is "YES !"
I am using a Blue Angel with This Hack and I'm very happy about the result !!!
Try .... If u wanna revert just jot down the values so u can key them back in.

I never thot it was possible but by heaven's will I chanced upon the genius who discovered it .... i lost the link but lucky i saved it as mht. file.

Now i want u all Blue Angels out there to have the same beautiful screen i am enjoying !!!

Cheers Mates :)

One for all and all for One !!!

[Ivanhoe_888]

Please don't try going above resolutions more than 18 Bit
Although it is possible to do it ... there's no guarantee that the hardware can support resolutions that high .... if your pixels start dying it's your own fault.

18 Bit is safe and good enough .... don't kill the screen by overdosing it !!!

Would someone be kind enough to post a guide on how to do this in their own words?

I've tried both apps suggested and also replaced the files but nothing seems to work.

ozVGA's files already exist in /windows and wont let me overwrite them, and when I start up SE_VGA it opens a dialog box without any text and when you close it the closes the app.

I agree with Biohead, instead of reading long info from the link on you rar file, why don't you just give us step by step how you make it worked on yours.

here it goes .....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Active\Built In LCD
In "LCDcolors" Enter Decimal Value 268288

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Citizen
In "CxScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30
In "CyScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30


Install OzVGA

These are the settings I use ...

ozVGA
MEnu&Bar Font 650 (Checked)
System Font 700 (Checked)
Hor. Scrollbar 10
Ver. Scrollbar 10
Min Scrl Thumb 10

Fonts Arrays :
SEvga : 500,600,650,800,1000
SEvga : 750,900,975,1200,1500

oz=SE* Ratio 2

Soft Reset

Goto Start/Settings/System/Screen
Set the font size to (Smallest)

As has already been pointed out, a lot of applications don't take into account the system-level font sizes in the Registry. Also, the vast majority of them doesn't check for the actual size of the screen to give you exactly the same view in VGA and in QVGA. (The most notable exception is the excellent document reader application, µBook , which offers the same resolution in both QVGA and VGA modes.)


View the screenshots below for an idea of wat it'll look like.

:shock: Can Someone please tell me why my screenshots don't show up in this page ?????

Today Screen

[nonereal]

friends, do our blueangels' lcd hardware support that resolution? Or is it just a programm tweak and is not a real resolution enhance?

[Ivanhoe_888]

i have no idea at all whether the hardware supports the resolution ... but the OS definitely allows for different resolutions.
Does anyone have any idea how to check if it is real ???

The only way i know how is to compare the same screen with same brightness settings against another device which is 18bit screen ... like the BenQ P50.

If anyone can do it ... please post your findings Thanks :D

I can only afford 1 device ... I am Poor :(

[Trek55]

Thanks for the setp by step info...Iam going to try it...so it is safe to modify all the setting right?

[Ivanhoe_888]

yes it is absolutely safe ... just remember your original settings so you can key them back in if you want.

[Trek55]

Hi Ivan, I have try it, not working so good, and the text are mixed up, even after changing the setting to the smallest, and the resolution remain the same, yes I follow your step by step, Thanks anyway.

[Ivanhoe_888]

Oh dear ... Sorry about that ... But the prospect of having an 18bit resolution blue angel would really have been a dream cum true ...

I'll experiment some other settings and post it for u guys can try ...

[PPCNUT]

Will it work with a Blueangel running WM5?
Thanks.

[Ivanhoe_888]

I got no Guts to flash my ROM ... So I dunnoe if it work on WM5
But it seems quite safe to change the values back and forth ... it only affects how your screen displays stuff ... if you don't like still can go back to original settings ... I'm still experimenting

[hasanj4]

Need someone with WM5 to have the guts to try it and tell us his views.

[Biohead]

I'll do it, but someone will REALLY have to create a really basic guide. I've never really gotten into modifying the Windows Mobile thing so I'm not 100% whether I'm doing it right.

If someone creates a 100% step by step guide then I'dbe more than happy to try it out. I understand WHAT I have to do, its just HOW to do it.

[Midget_1990]

trying it on wm5 now

[Midget_1990]

the only effect on wm5 is that the text is smaller

[arliss]

Tested here with BA with WM2003SE.

No other effects than reduction of fonts size too.

Any ideas?

[athena99]

This post means our device supported VGA, right.

[raymondu999]

So has anyone had any luck with using it in WM5? What other devices (not necessarily with this program) have hardware that supports higher-than-reported capabilities, in terms of colour depth and also resolution?

[Brazilian Joe]

If someone comes around with a file which displays 'color banding' in 16-bit color mode we will have a nice test case to check whether it's an effective hack or a placebo.

EDIT: Ahhh, nothing like getting your hands dirty. The simplest, best example. Place this file inside your 'My Documents' folder and set this jpg as your background from your 'Today' setting, in 16-bit mode and you will see what 'color banding' is all about. Then change to 18 bit mode and see if it looks better.

EDIT 2: Tried the registry hack on my BA using Helmi 1.3 beta, and saw no image improvement, and a horrible slowdown...

[MHoefler]

The physical screen resolution is 240x320. This hack doesn't change that, of course. It just enables anti-aliasing of screen fonts, but you can have this much easier by simply enabling "Clear Type" in the screen options...

Changing the LCDcolors value in the registry doesn't have any effect either.
