320x320 Love (via RealVGA)

[NeboWiki]

I just posted a blog entry about my experience with RealVGA and 320x320 mode on the Treo Pro. Check it out at: http://nebowiki.blogspot.com/2008/11/treo-pro-320x320-love.html

I am curious about the experience of others?

Screenshots? Anyone?

[johnjtaylor]

I will try and put some screenshots together tomorrow. I have been running RealVGA at 96dpi for nearly a month now and have *never* switched back to 128dpi since installing it. The only faults I notice are the lack of icons for SMS messages in the threaded view and the compacted battery icon - neither of which bother me significantly. frankly, I think the rom should run at this reolution as stock - and as soon as we can cook up a rom I will strip out of it all the 128dpi stuff!

I'm running it for weeks now, really like it. The fonts may be too small for some, but I certainly appreciate it.

A few weeks on RealVGA for me too. Never need to change from 96dpi back to 128dpi. In fact 96dpi full 320x320 allows me to easily run apps that have problem with 240x240 mode.

Real VGA here as well. The Best. I wont go back.

Could anyone post any piccys of their pros running the 96dpi?


Thanks

Hi folks,
A couple of screenshots of 96dpi on a Treo Pro just to show you what it looks like. If anyone wants a particular view showing, just ask.

I guess i have to be a problem child. its not working so well for me. a lot of things are messed up, images, background, phone dialer, etc. not so great on my end.

Using 96dpi, it's needed to get Olivetree's Biblereader to display icons on the taskbars correctly, along with some of the fonts.

Also needed @ 96dpi for Mobile Shell 2.1 or 2.11 to use the Omnia or Experia themes (found in the square screen themes thread at ppcgeeks.com). They go offscreen otherwise.

Yes, fonts in some places begin to become uncomfortably small. But, in most instances, it's not a problem. However button placement display gets off center with comm manager, especially the data connection on/off setting.

You can of course slide the font size a notch up, that will make most text a bit larger while keeping the 320 resolution. Not perfect, but perhaps for some a better compromise?

I've been running the RealVGa at 96dpi for a week. I've noticed that the icon for the threaded sms is missing. I can only see a "x" at the icon location. Is anyone able to share some view how i can change the icon back to normal?

Also another thing that i notice for is the view of the dialer is a bit shorter than the screen. Therefore, you can see a line of the background when you on the dialer.

Another weird things that i notice when running RealVga is that, when u dialed an unknown number, after the call, a notice will pop up and ask you whether you want to save the no. You will NOT be able to save the no. from there. Have tried that many times and gave up :(

Have hard reset and use back the original config. Evertthing went back normal. But just TOO BIG. I just wish that the original config will come with an option for us to choose between 128 and 96 dpi. .... 96 dpi still the best view for my treo pro :(

I use RealVGA with lot of pleasure on my Treo Pro, here (http://misutsu.free.fr/index.php/test-palm-treo-pro-pis-aller/#suggestions)

For now, i would like only replace the icon in the threaded sms, like i did for the battery icon. Maybe in the windows folder ...

Can you change the start up screen showing the distorted and extremely big window mobile 6??? I notice that it's good with the original setting but was enlarged when using realvga. Any suggetiong how to change that?

[Misutsu]

I guess not but i'm not a specialist. All my tips came from xda ;)

Works fine on my Pro, except it's very small & my eyes aren't that young, anymore. :-) Because of that, I installed CMKeyboard & a couple of htctoucher's skins from right here on xda.

If you're having issues with RealVGA, are you using the latest version by Ebag333? It can be found here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=170002 on TreoCentral. If you're using an earlier version, change to 128dpi before doing anything else, so that you're at "normal" resolution. The newer version uses Mortscript & it's suggested to install after a hard reset.

Yes it's a good solution. I personaly install RESCO KEYBOARD PRO that has a Big Button skin and work really great.

I only miss SPB mobile shell.

Thanks

I'll have to look at Resco Keyboard. I like other products by them (file manager & registry tool).

AFAIK, some of the versions between 2.1 & 2.14 are OK with 96dpi.

Why would palm say the res is 320x320 but only use 240x240 ? Are the pictures 320x320, and just leave the 240x240 for the rest of the programs for maximum program compatibility ?

Does anyone know if it is easy to uninstall RealVGA ?

[bhojo1]

does anyone know how to cook realvga directly into a rom....?
