where the heck is this located on our phone ?
im trying to set the apps to 320 dpi while i run 213 dpi on the phone
hyb.prop:
hy.system_default_dpi=213
or is this just a line i need to to add to the build prop ?
thanks in advance
Have to have hyb.prop system dpi match build.prop dpi. I use Rom Toolbox to set the build.prop dpi (though you can edit build.prop, too)
In build.prop, set this
ro.sf.lcd_density=213
In hyb.prop, set this
hy.per_app_scaling=1
hy.system_default_dpi=213
hy.user_default_dpi=230
Make that last line match the default (but individual settings in subsequent lines override)
Hope this helps

Clarify: Make that last line read the dpi you want most of your apps to have

Hyb.prop is in /system just like build.prop

no wonder, hyb.prop is ONLY in dagr8's HYBRID rom, won't work anywhere else
thats funny
thats where i have been reading about it
thought i was going crazy trying to find it.
so sounds like app dpi is set if not using dagr8's

So I changed my lcd density to 220 and I really liked that but some apps in the market wouldn't let me download them... So I set it back to normal and its fine but I want the value to be 220 and have my market work. I used ROM toolkit to change my lcd density if that makes a difference.

Are u talking about "root tool" or "rom toolkit"
Im just warning that romtoolkit has been known to cause major problems I believe.
Does romtoolkit say X2 supported? If not get rid of it.
Either way get your android ready.
Easier to change lcd density by editing build.prop using root explorer. That way u KNOW its the only thing changing.
Sorry it was rom toolbox got the app name wrong. So are you saying that if I manually edit it I shouldn't have that problem?

NO DO NOT USE ROM TOOLBOX!!!!
SERIOUSLY plz quit while u r ahead
I don't know if u will have the problem if you do it manual it is just MUCH safer.
Rom TOOLBOX is not for us
And it could just be the appbis not compatible with the lower resolution ...most people raise the value and say it looks sharper (tho looks smaller) personally I like it right at default and only go as far as 20 above default.
Please trust me...there is another thread about toolbox...read that and u will see what I mean
Ok the oy thing changed as density and its back to normal now I already uninstalled romtoolbox

I have my density set to 190 with jrummy's android overclock app... Its not free but I have no problems downloading apps... Some apps dont display right is the only thing but thats to be expected.....

Would it be possible to make a script that can change the density for multiple devices? I'm no expert on this and can change the density manually in the build prop easily enough but I thought it would be neat for other users to be able to just by running the script and choosing the appropriate setting for their device.

There's actually a free app in the market that will change lcd density. It also backs your current up for easy restoration. Just go to market and search lcd density and it should come up.

I've used it before but I didn't like it because it wouldn't stick the same way changing the build prop does.
Nice work by the way CA. I've used your ROMs before and they're great.

I gave it a try last night and flashed rc4 over my rc1 (full wiping of course) when it booted it seemed real smooth but had rather large icons, assuming that's how its supposed to be. I than flashed enable 213 that I downloaded before (not sure if I could have done that) after it booted my icons where twice the size, status bar was huge and keyboard was crazy wacky. Ive read that most if not all of these issues can be fixed with changing the dpi settings. Can anyone take a few minutes and give me a hand setting it up, not sure how to edit apps and such. I basically would like my phone looking like how it does on rc1 running at 213 but would like a few apps to be adjusted to a higher level (reading purposes) thanks.

I guess I just need to know how to adjust app and system dpi. I think I can do it in root explore data/app and change the name...not sure if that's right.

please please please read through the OP of The Hybrid rom thread, it explains what you need to change, and how to change it.
it all comes down to editing the build.props and the hyb.props in your system folder.

I've read it several times...I guess I just don't get it and when you don't really get it I guess the best thing is to walk away. I guess its not as easy as finding an app you want to change and rename it in the correct format with the dpi you want

Just upgraded from SlimICS rom on my i9100 (great rom btw), to Omega 4.1 on my new i9300.... Slim had ASS which permitted DPI changing.... For my i9300 I tried DPI changer but all I got was a corrupted build.prop and lots of headaches in starting with odin from square 1.
Has anyone successfully changed DPI on Omega or other for the i9300?
Thanks

As mentioned you can manually change it by editing the build.prop via root explorer or something similar!

Works fine at 260dpi. Had tried a few applications all caused boot loops - changed via Root Explorer text editor and all works fine.. thank you

S Memo crashes, don't know about others but this makes it a no go for me.
Changed to 240 using rom toolbox lite - Dialer does not scale, rest is good, i dont use much of the samsung bloatware.
Chrome does not work, neither does TouchWiz, Using Nova Launcher.
240 DPI works good, apart from the non scaling dialer all looks good. 240 DPI is also safe to avoid market incompatibilities problem
I have AN ANDROID GS3 I am looking for some help on build.prop settings. I have spent several hours on the web and here, I have found some setting but not all of them.
I am looking for a full reference or settings for the ro.ril entries, specifically ro.ril.qos.
I have found only three examples but I would like the rest. see below. the reason I am interested in finding these settings is that I am using VOIP and the infamous t-mobile $30 plan. I have also tuned my build.prop with other setting which I may list later after some further testing and additional ro.ri.qos settings.
Here is what is in my build prop, what is blank after the equals sign i believe to either give the default value or no (null) value.
qos (quality of service)
ro.ril.qos.maxpdps=2
ro.ril.qos.traffic.class=14
ro.ril.qos.max.ul=
ro.ril.qos.max.dl=
ro.ril.qos.guarantee.ul=
ro.ril.qos.guarantee.dl=
ro.ril.qos.delivery.order=
ro.ril.qos.max.sdu=
ro.ril.qos.delivery.err.sdu=
ro.ril.qos.transfer.delay=
ro.ril.qos.traffic.priority=3
Thanks very much in advance
I am sure that qos and other tuning setting will make this very stable and worth the effort.
