Hi, does anyone know if there is a software which can change the screen resolution of mobile (java) games? I know that I can edit the screen resolution on the phone itself, but when I want to change it to "width: 176, height: 220" and then click "Save", it says "Invalid width". I don't know what to do about that. So I'd really like to know if there exists a program which can change the screen resolution.

Programers usually use the methods getWidth() and getHeight() in their games, which asks the phone it's resolution (176x220 on the k7 series).
However it's common for them to directly input the resolution when they're porting the game to cellphones. When that happens, if you try to play a version of a game that is meant for another cellphone (one that uses 176x208 for example), you won't be able to play it in full resolution on your cell.

there's no work around to it, unless the developers added a resolution option on their game (don't think they'd ever bother with that).
Though you can ask them nicely for the source code and the resources, change the programing, compile it and send it to your cell
