[MOD] LCD Density - Higher Resolution Screen

[PlatinumMOTO]

Reboot device and run visionary...

Very odd.. I tried it on my other G2 and it worked flawlessly it rebooted itself and loaded fine.

Sorry for floodin the thread with such a massive post but maybe it will help others. But I still want to know how to add adfree into visionary.sh so I don't have to start that up every time to0. If anyone want to throw me the command you used, I will guinea pig it into the script I just created and post it for the for everyone as well.

It's off topic but at least it will be out in the open cause I didn't see it anywhere. I know how to search...

Thank you all!

I thought I got adfree working in visionary, but I cant get it to work.

the code should be as simple as

cp /data/local/tmp/hosts /system/etc/
busybox killall system_server

but it doesnt write to system/etc with visionary.sh, but I can get it to work with terminal and using gscript. will continue to work on it.

I have LCD Density working just fine but Adfree seems to only work at random times, most of the time though it does not function. Is there a way to revert back to the stock density without rebooting?

su
insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=74
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200
busybox killall system_server

I couldn't get it to work until I ran it like this as well. Very strange.

This is basically taken from the LCD Density Changer app and applied to visionary.sh

You can increase the density (sort of like monitor resolution) on your screen by simply changing the build.prop file. Unfortunately, since we have temp-root only, it'll revert back. The LCD Density Changer - Free app lets you modify it without editing the build.prop and uses a hot boot to apply changes...

I wanted to automate it into startup with Visionary so here's what you can put into your visionary.sh file:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /data
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density XXX #change XXX to 200, 190, etc
busybox killall system_server

I use "200" for the XXX density. Some people below mention 190 as their favorite number to use.

note: killall command will do a hot reboot of your system.


all the credit goes to appelflap and jdsemler who found these things.

update 10/30:
added mounting to read/write for /system and /data to the script for users who did not have it already in their script. also some people prefer using 190 as oppose to 200.

ok for everyone not knowing how to get this done:

#1 - have adb working and properly installed
go here for drivers for windows

#2 - copy the script posted on the first post of this thread:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /data
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density XXX
busybox killall system_server

#3 - paste it into notepad and change the XXX to ither 190 or 200 or some say 205 try 190 to start then move up so for now lets say you change XXX to 190

#4 - go to save as... select from the drop down menu at the bottom that says "txt file" change that to "any file" then change the file name to visionary.sh and click save to save it to your desktop or were ever u want

#5 - make sure you have visionary installed from the market and your phone is temp rooted and you select the run on boot option in the visionary app

#6 - on ur computer open up the command prompt and type in "adb push " with a space ater push and drag the visionay.sh file u just saved into the command prompt then type another space and type "/data/local/" then press enter so ur command prompt should look like:

C:\Users\Me>adb push C:\Users\Me\Desktop\visionary.sh /data/local/
(press enter)
and it should say that you copied the file over
23 KB/s (166 bytes in 0.007s)

then reboot ur phone and wait a few extra minutes and tada it should be all smaller and like when you raise the resolution on your pc

hope that helps someone

thanks. this should help people. i'll put it in the OP.

I couldn't get it to work until I ran it like this as well. Very strange.

i have noticed that the phone is very finicky with running scripts. i dont know why, but i sometimes have to delete and re-type things in over again to get it to work. i'm not sure if editing it in wordpad/notepad in win7 works half the time when switching over to android/unix. i have better luck typing the commands in root explorer.

i also seem to be running into a bit of trouble too.

when i run the visionary.sh with just the LCD density script it works perfect every time BUT when i add anything else to that script such as overclocking it breaks it... ive tried putting the OC before and after the mounting of system and data... after the mounting of system and data and even after the system killall and i cant get BOTH to work... im not an ADB genius lol so maybe some one can help us with how the script should be ordered idk...

or were just going to have to use gscript and make it run the scripts for us at boot...

 

[V1R3Z]

OK so i did what philosophics said at the end of post #12 and it worked for me too

very wierd i reall dont need to edit the overclock script/kernel i want to leave it at 1ghz not 1.4ghz so normaly i would only need to add this line o the visionary.sh file:

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko

but it some how breaks it and nothing works BUT

if you put

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=53

into the script then it works just fine with boh OC and LCD density mod...

its just like post 12 said a the end... tthe only thing i changed was the 74 at the end for 53 cuz i dont want to kill my battery running it at 1.4ghz

so at the end my visionary.sh file is:

su
insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=53
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 205
busybox killall system_server

but i should be working with:

su
insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 205
busybox killall system_server

sorry its getting a little of topic i just wonder if we can find out why its doing that....

This is for implementing adfree android into the script

the code should be as simple as

cp /data/local/tmp/hosts /system/etc/
busybox killall system_server

I just tried to run this in a shell and it says no such file or directory. Maybe this is the reason why it's not working?

I'm really sorry for making this go off topic so much. this is where the conversation is taking place though. Really don't understand why a thread hasn't been opened up about the visionary.sh

When I figure it out, I'll create the thread with instructions and possible options and/or various choices cause I understand that not everyone wants their device running at 1.42Ghz (It is pretty stable though and I'm almost positive my battery lasts longer due to underclocking the cpu for screen off) so a varity is needed.

Back to the subject, /data/local/tmp is EMPTY! WHY? This doesn't seem normal.

Just ran adfree and decided to try symlinking /data/data/hosts and nothing changed. Really don't know where to find /hosts so I'm running blind here.

If anyone has any insight on this, please help me out so I can get this topic somewhere else. The way I see it is the conversation is here right now so let's solve it and then create a thread when we have something working.

Again, I apologize...

Yea this is getting off topic but it's ok. Maybe we should start a new thread?

Anyway, when AdFree is run and installed, it modifies /system/etc/hosts file. I forgot to mention, that after running AdFree, I make a copy of hosts to /data/local/tmp so that it'll remain there after rebooting. My attempt is to copy this file to /system/etc/ at boot up and then do the hot boot to try to implement it, but it doesn't work.

Any ideas on how to fix the few apps that don't load full screen?

One thing you can try is to disable compatibility mode, which you can do from downloading SPARE PARTS in the market. I think mine is off by default though.

I don't know if its just me, but more than a few are not resizing to the new density.

 

[philosophics]

This question is actually on topic!

Is there a command we can implement into the script that will make all apps utilize all of the screen real estate? After reboot everything reverts (OBVIOUSLY) and it's stating to get a little annoying to uninstall and reinstall all apps that don't stretch.

SPARE PARTS DOESN'T WORK FOR ME!

Are you saying that if you reinstall an app that previously did not resize, upon reinstall it now resizes?

 

[minotauri]

which apps aren't working? i just went through my apps and it looks like everything i use works just fine at "200" density.

I use 190, but off the top of my head, Adfree does not resize, at least for me

 

[minotauri]

here's what AdFree looks like for me at 190 density.
