You can change it manually.
In Root Explorer open file: /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density=190
Save and restart phone

I tried yesterday to change the density.
Looks cool but quite a few apps have pretty much fixed width/height and sometime 1/3 of the screen is black

whats the recomended density?

From as far as i can tell 240 seems to be the perfect density for me (and I think it's the default one also but i'm not sure)

I'm using 200 at the moment, looks and works good but I think I might bump it up to 220.

Well 200 makes my dialer shrink and leaves 1/3 of the screen black

what density did you use??

The only problem is the dialler is smaller in 190 density setting. Any solution?

this is very old...
but nice that you find it yourself
but you can better change it to 110 it looks nicer
120 normal
110 nice
105 it show only your status bar in landscape
100 it show only your status bar in landscape so no go!
Now i changed the resolution of my mini pro but the app switchpro widget does't work, is probles of configuration or my apk can be corruptted?

Thanks!

working sync SE Xperia Arc Media-Time scape update(13/10/2011)

Download The .zip below
flash it using clockworkMod or Mistadman Recovery
reboot
And enjoy the real Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc time scape and media scape UI
on your Dell Streak.
now with working flashable zip
working Facebook twitter sync
Download Link
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZVIjE3bR/Timescape_update.html
Going to test it, thanks.
Flashed it but does not appear anywhere.
I dont know, sounds like a fake to me. Can someone please confirm?
Not fake. Installed without flashing, just decompressed archive and install apps one by one. Works fast, but its just another launcher ideea.
Wow I thought it was a fake but...it's not and it's incredible! It's working so fast!
Thank you so much for making my phone look beautiful!
EDIT: Trying to install with Clockworkmod does not work. Everytime I try to flash the zip file it says some ''error 6: installation aborted''
Nice. Too bad it doesn't fit the entirety of the screen tho. bottom half and right-hand side of the screen are unusable.
Bet it would work awesome on a smaller res phone. Ill have to check it out on my aria. Ill put it on there when my girl gets back from school. Someone stole her phone so she's got it for the time being.

Can you please post full instructions on how to set the lcd density on the Dell Streak? I want full screen on it.
Because this looks really well made and I would gladly use it if it wouldn't be only half of the screen.

Thanks for that. It didn't even cross my mind. lol
Looks pretty nice, but not my style. Atleast not on the Streak.
It does look like it would be nice on a smaller screen tho. I'm anxious for my girl to get back now so I can test it out on the Aria.

How much should the density be for the dell streak?
EDIT: Install an app for the LCD Density from the Market and set it to 240, now my Streak won't boot up.
EDIT 2: Had to pull out the battery. Density hasn't changed.
EDIT 3 (lol) : Tried the app again and it worked but looks even worse lol.
i've tried installing it through clockwork and it gives me "error 6". any ideas?

I've had the same error.
Solution: Open up the zip file you downloaded, and go into the system folder. There you will see the ''app'' folder. Open that and in that folder you've got APK files. Put these files into your SD card and install them using Astro File Manager.
hey if you have the root explorer then copy the build.prop from zip to system folder.
if not search google for free root xplorer
send me message for the site for free android apps

I did what you said, no changes. What is this supposed to do?
How do I get it to no fc? I have it up and running but with no Facebook timescape is kinda pointless.

App tip: LCD resolution

I used this app to set the pixel density at 170 on my tab 8.9
I think it looks awesome, give it a try.
(you need to be rooted, and I am using the latest overcome rom)

Thanks for the sharing. I am considering to change the LCD density but not comfortable to root yet (still reading and learning....).
1) Can you help post the screenshot on home screen, app folder screen. If possible, can you install the CNN News and post this app home screen etc. Due to original 160 setting, the font on CNN News is extremely small.
2) Can you help posting the above with 240 setting.
3) Any problem install app thru market (i heard market can only install with 160 or 240 LCD)? Anyway I am prepared to reinstall the old mkt version as it does not has this limitation.
Sorry to trouble you and appreciate your helps and sharing.

thanks for the app recommendation. But my tab went crazy after switching density. gmail force closed, calendar force closed... it because quite unstable. Reset back to default density, and removed program. All good again.

Strange, did you set it to 170?
not sure if I can tell a difference.. icons seem to look larger on the screen...
market and apps will act up if you change density. switch back to the default values to fix this.

I believe it's 170, at least according to the specs listed at GSMArena.com.
I'm not sure I understand the advantage of doing this. My display looks beautiful as it is.

Making Apps Compatible On "LCD DENSITY" Change!

My Personal Density Is 120 But the Major Issue Which Forces Me To Go Back to My Original Phone Density [160] Is Due To

2. Market Apps Getting Incompatible Upon Change
Well I Have Found the Fix for the Second Issue While Checking The XDA Forms The Day Before, Its Tested By Me On Our ACE And Its Really WORKS!
Heres What Must Be Done.
1. Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> All.
2. Scroll down and click on Market.
3. Click on the "Clear data" button.
4. Using whatever method you favor, change the LCD density to 160 for now.
5. Reboot your device.
6. Go to the Market and click the Accept button when prompted.
7. Go back and change the LCD density back to whatever you like.
8. Reboot your device.
See Simple And Effective!

I Have And It Works!
Works! But 120 is too small for me. About to leave it at like 130 or so
EDIT: Had to restore my phone using a Nandroid Backup. Tried changing the ADW theme and I'm guessing it didn't work correctly and my home screen couldn't load. So I'm guessing a fix is, changing themes in normal 160 density then switch down to whatever you want.
EDIT 2: The problem was that the theme wasn't for LDPI devices. Heads up everyone; make sure your theme supports the density you're setting phone at so you won't get any deformed icons or glitches.

CM9 LCD Density Change Problem(Solved)

I had earlier posted this in the CM9 thread in the dev section but since no one was replying i thought id come to the general section
Our phone looks so beautiful when the lcd density is changed to 140:
And now the problem :
When i try to make a call or there is an incoming call the phone gives this error-
"Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working", and it becomes okay if i revert the density back to 160. This did not happen with CM7 and is there only in CM9.
I believe this is a prob with the phone.apk but i dont know how to edit system files
Can someone PLEASE make a fix for this
EDIT
Guys guess what I fixed it myself
Now you can can lower the density of your screen with the help of this
I just used the phone.apk file from a lower resolution phone's ICS unfortunately I don't remember which phone it was(I think it was htc wildfire). Link to phone.apk attatched.
Oh and I will take full responsibility for any damage this may cause to my phone but none if you try it and something happens to yours ;-)
I had this problem too, but I didn't know that density was the problem, so I went back to CM7. If someone can help fix this issue would be great. I appreciate the effort for anyone that tries to help.
Believe me it would be amazing if somebody could fix this. Our phone begins to look like higher end phones when the density is lowered.
Just wondering, in the screenshot with the status bar pulled down, did changing the density shift the blue circle on the bar (on the bottom) to the left?
Yeah but it still looks better ;-).

What do you mean with Density ?
The Pixel-Density ?
kind regards

changing the density makes our device look ugly imo.. i like our default density, its perfect.. there is also pixelation here and there with lower density and smaller fonts.. u can increase font size, but well, doesnt suit me.

Technically lowering the density should make our device look ugly. But I find setting the density to around 140 makes the device(and the resolution) look perfect
and iv never faced any pixilation at that density, though setting it to 120(default ldpi) does make it look little pixelated and a bit ugly(and everything too small)

Guess uv got too used to the normal density
And iv removed the line from settings so cant say about that but no I don't have any prob with the search box

I just checked the dock divider and no I don't have any prob with that either :/
hey will this tweak work on xperia x8 with cm9 ?
Yeah it should. I cant tell for sure because I cant try it.
There's no harm in giving it a shot. Just backup before trying.

I had been using this with perfect peso(cm7.2 nightly based) and had got so used to it that at normal density ics was looking ugly to me
Thank you very much for this. I tried the same sort of thing myself, but because I have no idea what I'm doing, I tried taking the Phone.apk from a GB ROM that I was able to change the density on instead of one from a lower-res CM9 ROM and it caused a whole mess of problems, haha. Running Quattrimus CM9 alpha on my OV in beautiful 120 density.
