Will changing lcd density effect performance, battery life?

[Cstryon]

Thanks mrpotatohead! I'm gonna try lowering tonight, take off compatibility mode and see what my battery life is like tomorrow. (all day 12 hour shift with pandora streaming) Of course, I'll only keep it if it looks good.

Any time! Let me know how it goes!

 

[Cstryon]

Ok done setting up. Now to pay attention to performance and battery life. I like simple, how does it look?

I like a lot sir! What theme are you using?! And I take back my previous statement. I am not using 192 DPI. I am using 190 DPI and it looks great! I love being able to see more on my screen at a time. Especially, when browsing contacts, reading emails, and surfing the web. Keep me posted on your experience.

Oreo slice, and yorks black theme for adw. Good mix I think. Laid yorks black on first, then let oreo slice fill in the blanks. I'm set at 200 by the way.
I will keep you all informed!

I might have to try that because it was great thinking and an awesome combination for a sweet look. Haha.

I'm going to see if that compatability fix does the trick. I will be extremely glad if you gave me the answer to solve my woes, mrpotatohead!

 

[mrpotatohead99]

Should work like a charm. I was really happy when I found it out myself. Haha.

Well I completed my 12 hour shift with pandora over 3g playing all day, and the occasional call and text. I ended up with ~ 25% left at the end of the day. Not sure if that's good compared to any of your batteries. But it was a big improvement on my used hacked up droid 2. Didn't notice performance increase as I didn't have much toke using it for more than streaming. But I have a better quadrant score. 1630 over my ~ 1540 score before any lcd density changing. Nearly 1000 points... That's significant! Thank you for your help guys. Especially mr potatohead!

You're welcome. Glad I could help and to hear it worked and you like it! And that sounds like excellent battery life to me!!! I don't know how often you had your screen on but I literally use my phone all day long so the screen is on quite often and only get about 6 - 8 hours depending on if I decide to game or whatnot. Lol.

And I think you mean about a 100 point, not a 1000 point difference. Haha. But still a nice boost if you ask me. And I've noticed smoother transitions and movement from one homescreen to another. Everyone's experience is a little different.

 

[Cstryon]

Right, 100 x_x. Lol. My transitions from screen to screen is also smoother. And browsing is just plain more comfortable.

I couldn't agree more! Haha.

Well uhm, some text having to do with pandora (pulldown menu/song title etc. Whilst in app itself) is still being cutoff. I think I may reflash and see if that helps any.

What version of Liberty or ROM are you using and what settings and fonts? (i.e. what DPI, and did you turn off compatibility mode like I recommended?)
