Root Build.prop edits

On the DX beasley had a lot of edits that helped with scrolling thru the menus and other things. I've searched and can't find anything like that for us.

Theres not really a whole lot to change on the Thunderbolts build.prop. If you are running a custom rom, the dev has most likely made changes to the half-dozen items that are worth changing (Heap size, wifi scan time, etc)

Sorry, HTC doesnt seem to control as much stuff from the build.prop as Moto did with DroidX

If its LCD Density you are worried about, buy Root explorer and scroll through the build.prop until you see the number 240. it should say something like ro.build.lcd.density = 240 or something to that affect. Change that number to 220 or whatever, gain more screen real estate. I personally think stock 240 is just fine though.

Good Luck

I'm currently on 215 and I think it's perfect. My 5 wide app drawer looks nice and spacious and not cramped anymore. I use LP+ and have my home screen grid at 10x10 so I have plenty of room for anything and everything, although I'm a minimal kind of guy so I don't have much on them

Just be warned, you may have to do the spare parts compatibility trick* to get some apps to use the full screen after messing with the density.

*open spare parts>uncheck or check compatibility mode>reboot>repeat again>reboot. You should now have all apps correctly sized

Has anyone seen a higher than normal battery drain when they have their density changed? Mines been sittin on 190 for a while, but I accidently changed it back to 240 and I had much better battery life. Was this a fluke or truth?

I don't see why changing the density would affect the battery. It was more than likely a fluke. Try testing it, though if you'd like. Run phone at 240 until battery dies, make note of your life. Then change to 190 and discharge. Compare the numbers.

I found anything under 200 and my status bar got waaaay too small. I liked the way everything else looked except for status bar. I'm currently running at 205, it's now my default number

Guess it was a fluke. I don't what happened. I've been getting about 6-7 hours of heavy use again per battery. That one charge (using same battery now) was off I guess. Thanks Worm.
