LCD Resolution (root)
Hi there,
This should help you out:
LCD Resolution (root)
As you can tell by the name, the app requires root previlages.
Cheers!

Is it allowed on the V? Its default is 160.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk

I currently just downloaded this app to try it out.. changed it from 160 to 130 and it froze the phone up.. made the screen look like a tv when you change it to an off channel with all the snow lol .. Phone is not restarting and looks good.. I'll try it one more time to double check and report back
Alright i was able to turn it down to about 140 and it seems to work pretty well.. I dont know if ill end up keeping this app just becuase i'm fine with how it looks just figured id let ya'll know also dont put it to apply at boot just in-case lol

I tried lower than 150, and I get a.black shadow near the bottom using a app.

I use this one. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi

I've tried it before too, certain ROM's don't like you changing the dpi. Like with the CM nightly's, i got lag all over, going down to 140

Thats really strange. It should install. are you rooted? If so, what rom are you using?
Yeah I'm rooted with synergy. Idk what's wrong?

Did you change anything in your build.prop ?
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P using XDA App
make sure you didn't change your lcd density (resolution). If so, set it back to 240. i have my scaled back to 220 so all the text and icons are small, but the majority of apps are "incompatible" with my device. so whenever i want to download something, i have to restore back to 240 to download.

Need Help Switching Keyboard!

I flashed CleamROM Kang Tablet Edition to my Rezound. I LOVE it and its a great daily rom BUT everytime i go to changed my keyboard in the settings, it force closes. Please help. Anyone know another way i can change my keyboard to go keyboard or smart keyboard?!?
Also anybody know of any security apps to lock the phone COMPLETELY?! Everytime i go to set a pattern or pin lock it force closes!
Usually when you get force closes you should fix app permissions. So since I do not know of another way. I would suggest that you fix your permissions in amon ra then retry. Other than that I have no help but I think that you should at least try that. Good luck and I hope you can find another way or the permissions fix works.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
it didn't work :/
Did you fix permissions in amon ra. And also check to see if any other sections to the settings app are killing themselves. And did you say you are using the tablet version of the Rom for a resound.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Another idea would be trying to use an app link to go to the settings like when I used use swiftkey it would automaticallly send me to settings. Some times when you kill.the app and do that you have enough time to get into settings before it kills itself. Just a suggestion.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
After rereading your post more closely I would recommend that you change Rom you can get security applications but if.you are having an array of problems.with the system settings app then I would recommend changing to the last stable version of tha Rom.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
nope ): still not working.. someone told me to change the "dpi" (whatever that is).. but idk how...
Oh to do thavyou can get an app called Rom toolbox in the android.. er play store. You go to the build props tweaks and you can edit from there I think that the default is 320 but I've never edited it before and I don't know whether.you should raise or lower. Just by looking at the number is say its safe to assume that you should raise by 10 then test then lower by 20 in other words 320,330,310
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
okay.. on the tablet edition of cleanROm the dpi is 192 though.
Try 320 that is stock rezound 192 seems awfully low.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Maybe go there with incriments and reboot between each change.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
thank youuuuu!!! i changed it to 280, did what i had to do, then back to 192..
much thanks!
No problem.

Benefits in changing screen resolution

I'm currently running Foxhound rom.its a great from and by default its LCD density is set to 200.So what are the benefits of setting it to a lower value rather than 240 which is default. Thanx.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Everything looks smaller and you can fit more on the screen with a lower setting. Higher numbers make everything bigger.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I had issues with the phone apk crashing when running altered resolutions, specifically 180. So I just left it on 200 which is "stock" for foxhound.

I must be the only one that likes 240 lol. Basically anything lower makes everything to small to click on. It looks nicer but tapping stuff seems more annoying to me. I believe 185 or 182 is supposed to be very compatible though if people want to try that out.

LCD density changed, YouTube doesn't work

So I decided to change my lcd density on my phone to 200 from the stock 240. I am on aokp siyah which I doubt matters but I was just wondering is there a way for me to get YouTube working with a changed LCD density? Forgive me if this has been posted but I couldn't find anything (I am a horrible searcher) flame me if there is a thread I will take it
Also its just when I try to load a video it says an eror occurred so I just deleted the app and apparently I can't download it with 200 density

Clear market data and attempt to re-download it; then, try it again.

You could try LCD Density Modder or try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24416330
Inverted YouTube app seems to run fine with most all dpi's. Also have u tried using LCD density modder pro?

Edit: would it be okay if I used the free version? I haz no monies and I can't find a thread on xda for it.

Ill say it again. 213 has been my magic number. I've yet to have a single issue with that dpi. For whatever reason 213 just works and doesn't cause any market conflicts.

There are alot more than that. 200, 160, and some odd one that Hyperdroid ran stock on fit perfectly. sure alot more. read somewhere something about the sizes, and how some just wont match up.
market issues are gonna be had.
And FYI, LCD Modder will NOT work with JB. least IME

I've had trouble with 200 in the past. I think 183 was another one that worked well for me but I never got used to how small things got and I think it made the dialer look funny. I don't even remember where I found that 213 works, but its never let me down (knocks on wood)

What rom? I'm on cm10 and the clock sits to the right by default. I pulled out my cm9 Captivate (stock 240dpi) to check and its aligned the same as my s2 with 213dpi; to the right.
If you're running a Sammy based firmware then I've no idea what the Samsung lockscreen should look like but maybe dpi changes just don't play nice with Sammy firmware?
Hurray for being noobilicious. Flashed siyah and YouTube started malfunctioning website and app. No clue why but YouTube hates me

OK went back to stock density annnnnd YouTube doesn't work. Device is not compatible. Absoiletely no clue what's going on. As said before crap hit the fan after a siyah flash. But I just can't part with my siyah. Any possible solutions?

[Q] Installing fonts

Hi, just installed liquidsmooth ics 1.5 mr2. It is the best rom I ever had. BUT.....
I wonder how can I install Hebrew fonts ?
Thank you
You should be able to.
I'm running a different font right now.
No problems.
It definitely didn't change everything though, but it changed the majority.
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda premium
Changing fonts is a lil different on ics. I have the best results using font installer from the market and rebooting immediately after.

Does anyone know of a universal large font that can be installed? I already use the Big Font app, but it's not universal across everything on the phone.

You could try to increase the DPI. everything will be better then

I was going to hope for a font fix first before I tried to learn how to adjust DPI. I'm not sure if there will be any unintended consequences going that route.
Download LCD density modder pro. You can change the density and it will let you download a modded market that will let you download all apps from the market.

That works pretty well. The only down side I've seen so far it it expands the screen to just off the viewing area, like for the drag to unlock. I also hate scrolling left to right to read web pages if I try and find one on my phone, but I've grown used to that and try to stay off the internet on the phone when I can.
I do like the DPI adjustement. I'll have to play with it some more and find my ideal setting.
