Working great so far.

So... what is this doing in laments terms for those who are a decent bit lost here? *raise my hand*

Is this jacking up the actual screen resolution or something?

doesn't those 3 buttons look ugly to you separated like that? also i use multicon and after the size change it leave huge gaps

what 3 buttons? the LauncherPro dock? it only made the icons smaller, yes in turn creating more white space, but i like it so what.

after reboot a window should pop up asking if you want to keep the settings, hit yes.

before i hit yes, it displays the desity back to 240. superuser permissions are present.

Daft Punk · Sep 1, 2010

so you hit YES and it doesnt set the 200?

Effect on battery?

There isn't going to be any noticable effect on battery life. This isn't a service running in the background. It's like changing a setting.

I guess the easiest way to understand it (though probably not entirely correct) is like you said changing the resolution. The issue is all of your apps might not scale properly. Make sure you have compatibility mode unchecked. Also this can be used with any rom, it's just best to use a launcher other than sense.

I like it set to 220, some apps get funky if i go lower than that

Yes it's on the marketplace, I bought and paid for it. Set mine to 180 and it looks freakin sweet on CM6 with the VatSense Theme.

This is the Evo forum, so not sure how many people know enough about the rooted droid to help.... but if it's anything like the Evo, there should be a way to turn on your phone and go straight to the bootloader. For the evo, it's achieved by holding down the power button and vol-down button when the phone is first turned on. There's probably some equivalent way to do that for the droid, no? Once in the bootloader, you should be able to select "recovery" from the menu. From there, you can nandroid restore, or flash a working ROM.

problem here as well with my rooted evo.
changed density form 240 to 200, now the phone wont boot the display; it gets to the startup screen sound, but the screen never comes up..
I can boot into recovery, but not sure what to do; should I wipe data/factory reset to get rid of this program?
I am on a mac, so not sure how to push ADB commands..

Thanks so much if you can help!

v01rider · Sep 10, 2010

wase...maybe wipe cache.

im currently set at 168 and lovin it!

wase4711 · Sep 10, 2010

tried wiping cache but no go

If only I had a nandroid backup..would wipingdata/factory reset get rid of that program and the files that it changed, and get the phone to start up properly?
