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

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.

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

Hello,
Are there any app that does LCD density change on samsung galaxy tab 10.1 ?
Tried "LCD Density for Root" and "LCD Density Modder" but nothing happens.
Note: I successfully used LCD Density for Root for my old galaxy tab 7 inch.
bump......
I saw your post on the AOKP thread, are you using that ROM?
If you do, the LCD density works well (not a feature that I use), to change it: Settings > ROM Control > Genenarl UI > LCD Density. Reboot to apply.

That's just an app to change it though right? I was wondering if apps support different dpi on gingerbread?
Multi dpi is not supported by default the same apps are going to be messed up all the time unless you have a rom that supports it if you are still on tpc may I suggest you try saurom?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
does the multi dpi mean you can change the dpi for certian apps, if so how

As I understand, multi DPI ROM enables an application to be installed in other DPI settings, (IF the app itself support the current dpi settings, if not (like speed test) will show not in full screen).

Saurom has the dpi fix built in?
Also, can the DPI fix from your alpha ICS rom work on GB?
I was looking for safer way to change the screen DPI to 240, but was a bit worried about installing any mods. Instead of installing apps, I thought of modding them using Xposed App Settings. For now, I have just changed the UI to 240 DPI and am looking at doing the same for other apps.
For those who are interested, below are the tweaks that I did (will continue to add them as and when I get them correctly on my phone).
I am using [N7100 MK4][23Nov]Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V5 Deodexed|Prerooted|Note3 Fs, but this should also work with other ROMs too.
Note: I am just sharing what I have learnt and tried. But am not responsible for any kind of issues that you may face.
Install Xposed Installer and App Settings module (check out the respective threads for instructions). Once its ready you are all set to go.
Change the System UI
In the app, search for: System UI.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 240
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for
Contacts
Chrome
Hangouts
Music Hub - Change the DPI for both Music and Music Hub
ES File Explorer
S Note
Email
Change TouchWiz home
In the app, search for: TouchWiz Home.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 320
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for Camera,
Check back later for updated list.

Yes, even I have used it, but I did not find options to revert back if required. Its better with Xposed, only change those that you like :laugh:

Reflash the rom you are using WITHOUT data wipe,everything will revert back to 320dpi.

Agree, and in no way I am saying your mod is not good. I used them for quite sometime.
Took this approach to avoid reflashing, when you can disable it without reflashing.
Changes to 'Android System'
DPI to 240, and the Screen (dp) to 800x1280 also made magical changes on 412...havent tried on 4.3 yet- if i remeber correctly it made the windows float too and be resizable.
TW launcher looks good even at 295 better than 320 !!

The best is UI SWITCHER, you can change/switch whatever dpi you want. I'm using it flawlessly in my DN3V3. Just had to change the contact dpi to 320 with screen dp 800*1280, and using lg keyboard which is the best of the universe or you guys can use vinney's 240 dpi modded keyboard if you need to use direct input. That's all and BOOM!
