I prefer to run my phone with a density of about 220, but with any Samsung based ROM the dialer and contacts app just force close. AOSP based ROMs like CM9, and AOKP ROMs deal with it fine. Any insight into why this happens or a way to get the dialer and contacts working at a 220 density with a Samsung based ROM?
You would have to rewrite each app to handle the different dpi settings. Alot of issues come from messing with the dpi

You may also try 213 or 240, I use 213 as it is tablet mode. I have seen other using 240.
Either way you may have apps that do not cooperate well.
I'll try some of these other specific DPI settings. I've always known I would have some app issues messing it, but dialer and contacts are pretty much necessities, so I'm stuck with AOSP ROMs unless I can sort this out.
240 should work alright..That is hdpi resolution...the standard before the galaxy nexus came out.
Now it's 320 "xhdpi"

Hey guys
I seem to have a problem
I used dpi changer utility to change my dpi to 200 and began to notice that many apps weren't turning up in the app store so I restored it back to 219 and still nothing.
Any idea what's going on?
All help and input greatly appreciated

wel revert back 2 std 240 dpi if ur on stock official rom else try some custom roms which will work at lower dpi than 240
ps- check with 184 dpi or 220 dpi and see before reverting 2 std 240dpi

Try LCD Density Modder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi
Has ability to fix market compatibility issues.
Nandroid backup immediately before using!!
Sent from my GT-P6810 using XDA Premium HD app
Restore the DPI back to 240, or you can use 160 for the tablet version of apps, and clear the data for Google Play. You should be able to see the apps again, then just go back to whatever DPI you wanted in the first place.
play store will work good only with eithe 160 or 240 dpi. if you want working market with anyother dpi a fixed market for multiple dpi value is available in net, search for that.
Okay this has been solved.
I used lcd density Modded pro to reset the dpi, reboot, clear the market and reboot once more. All done.
Thanks to everyone that helped

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.

Everything looks smaller and you can fit more on the screen with a lower setting. Higher numbers make everything bigger.

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.

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

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
Is it okay to change the razr dpi if so anyone recommend. Good Ond
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
How is that even possible?
"dpi" is generally referring to "dots per inch", a spec on printers. If he's referring to "ppi", or "pixels per inch", the spec for pixel density on a display, then no- it cannot be changed.
You need a root device and there are apps in the market for this, like dpi changer. Make sure your prepared for the worst if you pick a bad setting. Not everyone has a perfect experience.

I haven't tried it on my razr, but on my old galaxy s you could simply change it in your build.prop if you have root then reboot for it to take affect.

Lower is better right? I have it running on 200, just changed it with a file explorer (open build.prop in the system folder look for the line LCD.density) and try some settings on, google play and some apps don't work properly anymore when density is too low.
dpi lowering failed
I had no problems using LCD Monitor app to lower the dpi on my CDMA RAZR M with ICS, but when I had JB running on it all I got was an endless loop at reboot. I believe it got stuck while shutting down. I forced it and got it to boot to Safestrap but thats as far as I could go. I really do have this phone. Or should I say I hate Verizon for locking the bootloaders. Probably gonna sell it and go back to my trusty D2 and good old Froyo. NEVER had a problem. And dropped that phone hundreds of times on the pavement and it never faulted. I doubt the RAZR will be that tough

I used to keep mine at 200dpi. Stock was 240dpi. But now that I flashed Jelly Bean I havent been able to change it using LCD Monitor app. Anyone know if its possible and if so how to do it? I really miss my 200dpi resolution.
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.

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?
