I dropped my phone. Now, one strip of the screen (where the address bar in Chrome is) is no longer responsive to my touch.
I've come up with a workaround: using Nomone resolution changer to lower the screen height to avoid the problematic screen parts.
This is not ideal because the app removes screen size from both the top and the bottom, so I waste valuable screen real estate. Is there any app or any way I can adjust the screen height from only the top and not the bottom? Alternatively, feel free to suggest other workarounds

You can change system DPI in build.prop.

Is it possible to have lower resolution/different aspect ratio games be displayed centered on the screen with the remaining screen space left black ?
Default functionality is to place the graphics on the top of the screen with the remaining space underneath displaying whatever it was displaying when first starting the game (lower part of the today screen/calendar/whatever).
Something like nvidias stretch to fit while mainaining aspect ratio (on the pc)
If I look carefully my display I can notice that display image is not properly centered, infact it has two different black vertical bounds.
I would like to expand image to cover all the display area (like a regulation for lcd displays for example...).
Is it possible??

Hi. That's a bit vague - difficult to understand. Can you take a screenshot so we can see what you mean?
Yes I know it is a bit vague, but unfortunately I can't take any screenshot of this, bacause it would show nothing about this problem... I'll had to use an external camera, but at moment the only one I have is the leo's one...
Let me see if I can explain in little words... what I see is that the potential area of display is for example 480x800, but the real display (image on display) is smaller leaving black bounds all around it; it seems projected to a smaller surface, resulting in a smaller display experience (not so much to be honest ).
Given that in all pc monitors you can adjust image position and size to best fit its window, I was asking if it could be possible also on this leo device.
Hope you can better understand now...
If, for example, I open Internet Explorer and wait till the address bar and bottom buttons disappear, I'm left with a mostly white display. There IS a border of about 1mm all the way round this.
Is this what you are talking about?
Yes, it should be! In my case the stripe on the left side is a bit thinner than the one on the right...

That's not an active display area. The display shouldn't go to the very edge, so there's nothing wrong with your phone, and no, you can't expand the display.
Ok, thanks a lot!
I know this is not something we can do, but hoping a dev will see this and answer, but now that we can change the size of the screen from 240 to 220 or 180, thats great, but can the preset size of the space it keeps be changed to? For example:
You have 4 icons or more, if you press and hold to move the icons there is a size box in green/yellow border that as you move the icon moves, but now the box is bigger then the icon, if we could make it smaller, then we would be able to put more icons on the screen.
Anyone else feel the same way?

not sure if this is exactly what you want, but launcher pro allows you to change how many icons you can fit horizontally or vertically
also take a look at Multi icon widget:

Actually yes thats what I was talking about, but can it be done without the need of a 3rd party app? And thanks for pointing me to this app.
this mod would be awesome for htc sense. it's one reason why i changed from sense to gingerbread (with go launcher)...
I have experimented with lower screen densities on my SGS2. This makes much better use of the screen real-estate.
However, TouchWiz no longer fills the screen. Is there a way to alter the "height" of TouchWiz home pages?
There is a launcher.xml file in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/shared_prefs.
Does anyone have a list of valid options for this config file?
Is there any way to get Trebuchet to go full screen when in portrait orientation. I have like 1" of unusable space at the top and bottom of the screen. Any way to make this usable? I tried changing the number of icon rows, but that didn't change much.
This is full screen.
It is supposed to look like this.
One way for you would be to change screen's Dpi, but then maybe there would be problems with apps.
