open the build.prop file in /system using any root enabled app and text editor..change the dpi settings to 240..save the file and reboot..
standadr dpi settings are 160,240 and 320 anything else and you will get errors in the market app..
Yes, like said above. You will get a lot of "not compatible with this device" in play store. Even tho it is compatible. So, download your apps, and then change DPI.

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 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

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.

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
Anyone know how how to fix this?

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....

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.

So you can change overall dpi in CM10 AOSP by editing build.prop.

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)

I changed my dpi to 280 to get a little bit smaller look to things. The issue I'm having is the lockscreen does not fill up the full screen anymore. I know there is a correction thing built in with the LG settings but settings is not one of the there, only downloaded apps. Anyone know a way to fix it? Using The Base Rom.

To fix the lock screen go into lock screen settings and change image to something else then change back to the image you want and it corrects this issue

Tablet mode would be awesome. I have no idea how that whole system works without messing something up. I noticed that with the 280 dpi the camera app would not keep the pictures I took. The shutter worked but never saved the picture.
Thank you for the tip on the lockscreen image. I'll try it and see what I can figure out with the camera.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Yea the camera app needs to be run at 320 to work flawless, if you change your dpi to between 190 - 204 that turns tablet mode on, its sweet I suggest try it, but install a 3rd party launcher 1st otherwise it's a real pain to install 1 after but possible lol I had to do it that way because in tablet mode home launcher crashes and DOES NOT WORK lol, found out hard way

Sounds excellent! What do you recommend for the camera? I've got a two year old so quick pictures are a must for me.

How do you change the dpi?
Mod the build.prop with the ro.sf.lcd_density line. It's there just need to search for it.
