Question about resolution and minimum flash & RAM

[Barry.Tan]

Hi,
I want to study new device use Android platform. But have some issue I
don't know how to modify it. Please help me to clear these point.

Q1. If I want change screen resolution to 176x220, have any suggestion
how to do?

Q2. What's is minimum flash & RAM? I want remove some applications,
like music app, phonebook app... also want to remove from libraries
layer. Can you let me know how to do?

This would not represent an android compatible device (the screen is smaller than we support, and it sounds like you may remove things that are required in the sdk), so I'm not sure how much help you can expect to get.  You do have the full source code to play with, and changing the basic size of the screen should be fairly simple as it is just based on the driver reporting it...  but of course lots of the standard UI would break on such a small screen, so you'll just need to dig in and work on things to make them do what you want.

The framework just uses whatever size the framebuffer driver reports.  There is a separate system property for setting the desired density of the screen.
