What LCD density are you using for your Razr? I'm on 220 atm. Default is 240.
Lower density better quality?
Makes the items look smaller so they look more defined somewhat. May throw some apps off. Can change this in your build.prop file but you need root.

I run mine at 200 with android overclock and using adw launcher i have edited the grid to get more apps on each screen...

So dropping the density works better for you? Thinks look less pixelated when I raise the density, maybe it's just me

Raising the density is lowering the resolution. Lowering the density is raising the resolution. By dropping to 200 I have basically upped my resolution, so to speak, and my app icons are smaller... I then had to be able to edit the default grid for my apps and widgets to be able to effectively use the increased screen real estate... I am therefore able to have 8 apps across my screens and another 8 down, if I so wished. I do not have 8 down because with ADW Launcher I get home screen rotation back so there is only so much I can put on the screen in portrait that will actually fit in landscape... Check out the screenshots below bro...
I Got My Density At 215, I Tried 200 And It's Just Too Small For Me Cuz When I Try Tapping On A Link Or Anything For That Matter I Had To Be Dead On. It's All A Matter Of Preference To What Ya Like.
I noticed lowering the density screws up navigation. It doesn't follow you on satellite view. Slight deal killer for me.

Really... I haven't noticed that, but then again I haven't had to use the nav in the last few weeks... But I have used the nave with the LCD density change.... I was using LCD density app and not android overclock tho... Maybe that's the difference???

Yeah man, I tried changing the views, and it still wouldn't follow. It just stayed on the same spot. When I switched the density back, all was good...
It sucks too, because my screen looked way sharper IMO. However, I use navigation too much to not have it work as I like...

With ADW Launcher pro... Look for it in the market... It lets you edit how many columns and rows of apps you have on the launcher and in your app drawer!! I couldn't deal with blur so this has helped me get over not having CM....
the screen quality on my tp when using webos is better then when using cm7. is there a way to fix it? thanks
Depends on which one you're using. WebOS looked horrid for me.
It's cause the current CM7 port is running a lower res than the Native webOS resolution.

I too felt webOS looked better than CM7. I was using 160 and 140 for LCD density. Then I upped it to 169 and it looks much better to me, also i installed the ICS roboto font and that looks much better than the stock g-bread font. Also for some reason when i went the other way and took LCD up to 169 suddenly I could get a few more apps in the market that seemed to be missing before (I remember early on with my Nook Color the LCD density affected the market as well).
Also there is a market app "hp touchpad wallpaper applier" that lets you use high res wallpaper in CM7 which looks much better.
Won't it simply be because cm7/gingerbread wasn't meant to run on anything bigger than 7"screen?

Greeting to everyone! This post is to help you mates to change the screen density on your android screen. I believe that most of you flashed the CM9 rom and finds it too big for you. Here's a quick tutorial to change the density without modding your build.prop.
Download LCD Resolution (Root) from Android Market. Open the app on your mobile and set the density to 140. Tick 'Set on boot' and apply. See the changes when your phone reboots.
140 not 160
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
Thanks, always usefull!
GingerReal + SlaidFastMod 2.5+ Turboboost 8.5 = GingerUnreal!
thanks matt i forgot about the keyboard positioning. 140 seems great. thanks.
iam use root explorer & edit bulid prop

Don't change density - most apps are incompatible - including my apps.

That's a huge lie. I've been running at 120DPI for about a month and I haven't had ANY problems with anything at all.

You won't have dpi other than 160 on stock ROM, dialer crashes

All the more reason to switch to custom rom
I can change density in any of the CM based roms but not in any of the Sammy roms, it won't boot up at all and I need to restore from back up. Has it been done? 240dpi is such a waste of screen space!

@ op
open the build.prop file in system\build.prop and do the changes as said by jje.
do note the stock dialer in sammy ics will look messy if you reduce the dpi. but you can live with it as 240 dpi is a waste of space.
bala is right guy to ans this haha he plays with density alot....well jje an bala both right....
An easier way is to use LCD Density app from the market which will change dpi for you. Have used this many times will no problems. Hope that helps someone

What are the benefits of changing LCD density?
I mean, the phone has a standard density because it might be the best one, right?

hallo,
use romtoolbox
when you open, give superuser permission
then go to the tabon the top of the screen called: performance, select build prop editor
you get a screen with a little pencil in the upper right corner, select that
your now in the buildprop. in contents you can scroll down to a line with the LCD density is 240. select that line and change the number.than save
Caution: not lower density as 160 and dont touch anything else in the contents

It works for me after flashing SiyahKernel.
Hi, I hope I'm not posting in wrong section.
Default DPI for U is 240, but somehow it's look ugly for me. So I change it tp 192 and it suit nice. But some native app like calendar / phone is looks weird. I wanna know how to change those apk to use my new dpi setting.
Also since using ICS, I had a problem with market and 192 dpi. Market won't show all the apps. Even I'm already using a dpi patched version. It was work in GB but not working in ICS.
Thanks for the respons.

You can use CM ROM or AOKP ROM for changed dpi, it's work well. For the market use lcd modder pro, it's work like a charm, even you can use built in dpi changer in AOKP that give u market access too.
