One of the first things I did was set it to 240. Seeing as I run 160 on my gs2 it was sort of a necessity. also 240 guarantees full market access.

Any issues with 240 ? Dialer our screen not properly aligned?

I haven't seen anything yet. Google music does switch to tablet mode, drives me nuts on the gs2 but fitting here

I use go dialer because the stock dialer shrinks and is off center but that's really only thing i noticed

How did you adjust the density

My icons are off-center and cut off. Which is too bad because I really like the lower density.

If you use touchwiz its guaranteed to happen. Switch launchers (all good on go launcher and adw) or search for a mdpi version. The hyperdroid guys make one iirc.
Edit: I see the dialer. I'mgoing to try to push A mdpi version

Change the line
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
to
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
in /system/build.prop, either using Root explorer or ADB
As for my results, aside from scaling everything down, it looks very crisp and clear. I'm too used to the 320 resolution, so i'm going to set it back.

Can someone post an mdpi touch wiz and dialer....I'm actually liking the touch wiz.....240 looked nice but having the launcher cut in half and drawer sucks, and messed up dialer to...but man 240 looks nice

I use lcd density on the market basically its a gui that does the build prop adjustments.

Go to the market and get an app called Nitrality. You can change your dpi with it and it'll stick after reboot unlike LCD changer
Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!

Guessing you need root for that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App

I just downloaded Nitrality, but didn't change the setting because it looks like it only allows you to set it as high as 240. That is, it says 320 (default) when you open the dialog for it, but as soon as you slide the slider, the highest you can go is 240. This leads me to believe that the slider is hardcoded to top out at 240, and that if you change it using this app, you won't be able to go back to the stock 320 using this app. Just a word of warning if you are only trying to see if you like it. Someone who has used this app might be able to check if the 320 option appears after you have set 240? I kind of doubt it, but it's possible.

I have not changed my LCD density and my google music is using the tablet mode out of the box.

Nitrality tops out at 300. To go back to 320, you an always just manually change the value in the build prop.

the LCD Resolution app I use you can set it to change on Boot and it has a button to revert to Stock right on it so if you wanted to go back it goes right to 320

The Streak had a crap resolution compared to the Note. Amazon just needs to update their app store.
Change your dpi to 340. Hit thanks if I helped you
I doubt want to change font just for an app store. Thought perhaps there a a setting on the app store somewhere..?

How do I do this? Can I change it back and for easily? Can I change it for just one app? Is 340 the correct dpi for our device?
There is no way to change the font size. Interestingly, the tablet mode only started with a later update to the appstore. Also for whatever reason it runs in 'phone mode' on ics
Go into your build.prop and scroll down. You will see default is set at 320. Change it above that
I wouldn't change your lcd density ...it will mess up other apps...including phone app...some will look funny or be off aligned....

running 241 and its great
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I think it's mostly personal preference. I was at 240 for a couple days and it was fine. I even dropped it down to 210 to attempt tablet mode, but didn't like losing the task bar. I'm at 214 now and will probably stay here. Haven't had any issues with FC's and everything seems to be working.
I was on 240 for a long time but am not on 214 so i can get use to it so when tablet mode comes out at 213 I'll be well adjusted.

I'm using 240 and loving it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Any particular reason for changing it down? You have some apps that work at these lower settings that don't at 320?
I can't get the Astro key to install, and wondered if the dpi had anything to do with it.
I'm using 240 dpi with Go Launcher and exDialer. I don't think I could ever go back to 320 now. It looks so sick.

Halo Waypoint

I just got this halo waypoint app and I really like it. However, my pixel density is set at 200 rather than the default 240. Because of this, my halo waypoint app when opened, appears much smaller than my screen. Is there a easy way to mod the apk to make it think my pixel density is 240, similar to the market fix that provides a modded google play apk from LCD density modder pro?
Thanks

If you know how to edit the build prob due that, and put 240 instead of 200 it will trick the app
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Is it fairly easy to edit the build prop, only with the intent to trick the app? When I have my pixel density at 240, it works fine, but the default density sucks
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
There is a tool on the market that will change it for you. Just search density changer or something
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Let me reiterate, I completely understand how to change my LCD density and it works great. But, my halo waypoint app when opened doesn't fill the entire screen. I am looking for a way to trick the app into thinking by pixel density is 240 so it is full screen.

[Q] Change Resolution?

I don't know if it's possible to change the resolution on our phone or not. I am coming over from the Evo 4g. I've noticed that on some games and apps that everything is much smaller on the screen and very hard to see. It is even hard to touch some of the on screen buttons because they are so close the the side of the screen now. Is there a way to change resolutions when needed?
There should be let me see if i can figure it out.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to use any LCD density app to adjust the density of only a certain app, or in my case a live wallpaper? I have a feeling the answer is no, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Unfortunately no. When you change the density it requires a reboot to take affect and it changes everything.
-Density can also be manually set in the build.prop file if you are rooted without the need of an app.
Thanks, that's what I thought. I probably won't mess with it, at least not for a live wallpaper, it isn't important enough to me, but it's good to know I have this option.

It makes everything essentially smaller/bigger depending on what you set it to. Usually people set it lower so that everything shrinks and you can fit more on your screen. Paranoidandroid actually has per app DPI i believe so that you can change different apps such as email/gmail so that instead of the screen you see on your phone, you can make it look like a tablet with the menus on one side with the mail on the other.

I am on Samsung ROM: 4.0.4 xxlpx. I changed the DPI and the icons look good, but the issue is that the icons does not seem take the advantage of complete screen. so the space on the bottom and right is left unused not sure if there is any way to have the complete screen size to be utilized.
Find attached pic, and as you can see the right hand space is unused and also the page number that shows up, that the end of the usable space.(marked in Red)
Any thoughts on how to make that extra space available ?
Thanks

Try a different launcher. With nova or apex you can choose how many rows of apps you can have. (not sure you can do that with the stock one)
