I am currently using Paranoid android and I am looking for another ROM where I can set custom DPI...I know that resurrection remix has a tablet UI mod but I wanna use phone mode with a custom DPI...can you guys please list any other ROMs that have this option?
AOKP has it, but you can download apps to do it on any ROM.

just change the values in build prop ro.sf.lcd_density=240
just change number 240 to anything between 160-240
easy done saves downloading apps

I know about the pad.prop and the custom DPI panel...paranoid android is just being slow and giving me problems but I can't use ROMs on default 240 DPI anymore thats why i am looking for other roms that are smooth but have the option of setting custom DPI
Just use Slimics..it has 182dpi on default, with working play store pre-installed in the rom.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536783
Other rom that have working multi dpi play store pre-installed are insanity ics, hydra h20 and others i can remember, sorry...you can change dpi in all aokp rom in the rom setting but not all the roms have multi-dpi play store or dialer...just try slim ics, u won't be dissapointed..

Is it possible to change the DPI on stock or Sammy based roms rooted or is this only possible on CM9 AOSP based roms. I would like to keep a Samsung based rom for all the unique apps Samsung have developed for the S3 but I cant get away with the huge icons and DPI. CM9 based looks so much better so I am torn between the two.
DPI can be changed in the build prop on rooted roms via rom explorer .
Or in a custom rom Samsung build .

and change the digits to any of u like
dont forget, changing the dpi in sammy roms will have the usual probs like unscaled dialer and a poor theming for camera. setting the dpi too low will crash the stock launcher, so install a secondary launcher before starting

Can u kindly tell me whats the use of reducing DPI? Does it have an effect on saving battery?

Just tested on my S3 with stock ROM + root and it works. Just as a note, you should have a keyboard other then the standard Samsung, it keeps freezing over and over until you change it to another one.

Hi,
I tried changing /system/build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density to 260, rebooted device and nothing happened.
I am using leaked 4.2.2. I double checked and build.prop really changed.
Can anyone help me with this?

for rooted phones, flash the xposed framework.. there app settings module (i think) enables DPI settings.. (you may need to search for the module..)
I tried to set dpi to 300 and it works very well on sammy 4.3 ML2 rom. Dialer looks weird as mentioned above, but I use pixelphone app and issue is solved for me.
Tablet Mode for Galaxy Player 5 ICS ROMs - Supermaster34
I consider the galaxy player to be a sort of mini tablet, but so far most of the available roms use a Phone UI. The Phone UI is great, but the user experience can be enhanced with the addition of Tablet Mode. I know tablet mode has been applied to the Player 5 before, but on an old and buggy rom, so I decided to fiddle with a few bits and bobs and I managed to activate Tablet Mode. One of the best things about my MOD is the ability to apply the patch to any ICS rom. There may be a few UI bugs, but everything works as it should
Features:
Tablet Apps can be used
The Status Bar and Navigation Bar combine to form the Combined Bar
Landscape Lockscreen
Full Album Art displayed on Lockscreen
Apex launcher runs very smoothly in tablet mode
Can be applied to any ICS rom (I think)
Installation Instructions
RemICS-UX v1.3.1+:
Install the latest version of RemICS-UX if you don't already have it installed
Flash the RemICS-UX tablet mode zip file in recovery. No need to wipe anything, just flash it
Boot into the rom and download LCD Density Modder (or similar) and set the DPI to 128 or lower, but not below 120, and reboot
Read my Tips for Tablet Mode here
CM9:
Flash a CM9 rom if you do not already have one installed
Boot into recovery and flash the CM9 mod
Boot into the ROM and use LCD Density Changer (or similar) and set the DPI to 128 or below, but not lower than 120 and reboot
Read my Tips for Tablet Mode here
AOKP:
Flash an AOKP rom if you aren't already running one and boot into it.
Go to Settings > ROM Control > Navigation Bar and enable the nav bar.
Reboot into recovery and flash the AOKP mod
Boot into the ROM and go to Settings > ROM Control > General UI > LCD Density and follow the steps.
In step 5, scroll to the bottom on the list and select custom and set the DPI to 128 or less, but not less than 120
Reboot
Read my Tips for Tablet Mode here
Tablet mode can be entered by changing the DPI of the device to 128 or less, but putting it below 120 causes bootloops. I am still testing my mod, but it appears to work on any ICS rom for the player 5. All you have to do is flash the zip file in recovery over the rom you want to apply it to. No wipes required and setting the DPI above 128 returns the player to Phone UI
Tested to work on:
RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Maybe v1.3.0) - Use the RemICS-UX version of the mod
Latest CM9 rom by me - Use the CM9 version of the mod
ICS Crumble v1.6 - Use the AOKP version of the mod
Untested but should work on:
Any CM9 based rom
Any AOKP based rom
Downloads
Mod for RemICS-UX. Click on Tabletmode DL on the right
Mod for CM9 roms
Mod for AOKP roms
Screenshots can be seen below

Which rom? RemICS-UX or CM9? I tried it just now on RemICS-UX v1.3.1 and it worked. Try turning off HD video or wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery
the tablet patch doesn't work for remi ics v1.3.1 but it gives a nice theme style to apex launcher : )

It does work for RemICS-UX v1.3.1 but the touchwiz launcher doesn't work so I included apex launcher. Everything else works fine.
The MOD doesn't work perfectly with AOKP roms so I'm currently optimising the MOD for AOKP. Currently the MOD only works perfectly with RemICS-UX because I've modified some files in its system, but once I remake the MOD for stock CM9 and stock AOKP it should work on every rom

it does work yeah but you first need to put the dpi to 128 and have apex as standard launcher.

You can set the DPI to anything between 120 and 128 inclusive. You can also use any launcher which can handle tablet mode. Currently I think Apex handles it the best so that's why I included it in the mod
I have a problem... and i'm pretty sure it happened when I installed this tablet mode...

OK for a short term fix you should move all of your apps on your SD card to the internal storage using titanium backup.
Which ROM did you apply the mod to?
Also are you sure it was caused by this mod? If it was I'll be able to fix it soon

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaah! I didn't even know until you pointed it out to me . Thanks for the tip! I'm planning to see how I can create a unified mod using Aroma installer so you can have one file which you can use to enable tablet mode on the different ICS roms. I'm also trying to fix the string misalignment on some roms. I can't give you an eta on any updates, but I'll try to be as quick as possible. The galaxy player 5 cannot afford to lose any more devs..
Also, first post on the XDA portal about the SGP
Congrats on the portal article, i believe this is the first time for the player.

Yeah, awesome job on making the front page! Now to get our 4.0 ICS thread there...now THAT would be nice .
I've got a Fascinate, but I bought it exclusively to use as a PMP, but I hate all of the phone features it still has. Anyone foresee massive problems arising by using this patch on the original Galaxy S, to effectively convert it to being a Galaxy Player?

Hello GS2 Users , XDA developers
about my story
-my story is that i like aosp and especially android 4.3 and aosp supernexus 3 rom full off bugs and i posted help thread but no one helped me and i searched and founded 2 android 4.3 roms (cm10.2.1 by infected_ and Slimbean build 2.2) but these roms not pure aosp so i got a good idea to make stable aosp 4.3 by modifying one of them and remove all mods and addons and get aosp
-i chose slimbean and used all aosp apps in supernexus 3 except hardware libs and kernel and security setting to get blacklist function and privacy guard
about v1.0
-bugs the same in slimbean rom but i fixed every bug i found like stretched screen in video camera
-fc when tab sms message limit in security setting (i will fix it another time)
about v2.0
-cm10.2.1 based (Phone UI better than slim)
-pure supernexus 3 style
-bug1 (get fc in pattern unlock type)
-bug2 (get fc in APN setting )
-download here v1.0 (core gapps included)
-download here v2.0 (install rom and after first boot reboot in recovery and flash this minimal gapps version here)
-if you found any issue post here because i'am not developer and to make apps work in other framework not easy
-screenshots in attachments for v1.0
-big thanks to infected_,Faryaab,slimroms team because this rom created and packed from their builds
Good ! i will try now
Good rom bro! Only my nokia bluetooth headset doesn t work
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 utilizzando Tapatalk
This looks good. Stable and clean... Awesome!
Why did you not decided to 4.4.2?
"fc when tab sms message limit in security setting (i will
fix it another time)"
If you decompile Settings.apk, than this bug is present because of some resources are broken. You must correct that in Settings/res/values/arrays, search for something like "sms limit" and you will see somewhere:
<array...
</array>
but should be:
<string-array....
</string-array>
And compile Settings again.
You can only add Theme engine? Thhanks

my problem with kitkat is gpu mali works better in 4.3 and you can believe this by compare between 4.3 and 4.4 in game performance using any game such as subway
What are the advantages - upgrades of 4.3.1 against 4.1.2?
Any updates for this rom ? A aroma version with more options / tweaks ? Or somethink like this ! Maybe somethink like HCT ROM AOSP ?
Does anyone know why I constantly get system-ui force closes when I set the DPI at 280 and 240.
Does the stock rom support sub 320 DPI?
it depends if its odexed or deodexed ...and if im not wrong..I remember I saw odex files in the system/app/ and system/priv-app/ folder
I might be just strolling on my own it was so long ago I read about this things. I only stick to CM roms these days

My experience with 240 DPI on KK stock based ROMs is that the Sony modification of the notifications/quick settings break those things when phablet mode is enabled. When the DPI is lowered to those numbers, Android automatically goes into phablet mode with a notification drawer on left swipe and quick settings on right ditto and what happens is that the first one breaks and fail to show any information.
In older 4.3 based stock ROMs, 240 DPI worked perfectly without breaking notifications on phablet mode.
Tablet mode itself has been removed but it can be restored through TabletKat for Xposed. The best way of running 240 DPI or 280 is to flash either the GPe ROM or something along those lines like CM11, CandyKat, SlimKat and so forth. The other option would be a 4.3 based stock ROM but I can't really recommend to jump back in Android versions.

The colors don't look as bright or punchy. They look faded out. I've only tried PA so far but the colors were severely lacking for me.
Perhaps the bravia engine stuff only gets executed at standard DPIs?
Can confirm that the GPE Rom supports all resolutions fine. I'm on 280 so at least you can resort to that if you're not tied to the stock Rom for any reasons
Hello there,
thank you for developing themer, i follow you since the first time.
It works like a charm on KK but now I am testing the new CM12 on my SGS2 and when I try to apply a theme Themer download and apply it but it is "resized" or messed up.
Anyone else is experiencing this issue? Any help?
EDIT
It seems that certain ROMS modify the original sgs2 DPI (im referring here to ResurrectionRemix ROM) and so themes are loaded broken.

Themer works best with stock DPI. If you set your DPI to stock and then clear Themer's cache and data. Should work after that.
