yes you need to install the xposed installer app and appropiate module. there is a thread on it. or flash jellybeans rom by beans and its included. the other option is to modify the framework res for each app. I have a thread in the theme section "240dpi apps" that has some listed already modified for 240dpi. not sure if the work on 4.1.2, but they did on 4.1.1.

ok.
I am running b16.
in the per-app to dpi I have set touch-wiz to 240dpi with a 800x1200 screen(dp)
when I go back to my home screen I lose a row that I was previously able to have icons on i.e. from 4x6 to 4x5
any way to get back to 4x6 or at bigger?

The touchwiz launcher doesn't have customizable icon rows/columns. You'll have to download a different launcher. Like Nova.

It worked!
I set the nova launcher to 240 dpi 800x1200dp and in the settings it gave me a tablet style menu. (nice)
now I have many, many little icons & folders.
Thanks again,

Thought I'd post this for fun for anyone trying to get the mini tablet experience. Its not perfect but its very usable.
Known bugs
- No notification bar (dies with SytemUI)
Use any of the ICS releases floating around the forums.
Install Go launcher EX as your launcher.
Use Go Launcher as your default home option.
Set home screen grid columns to 6 and rows to 7.
Change your build.prop DPI settings to 210 (Rom Toolbox app does this nicely).
Reboot.
On reboot systemUI will crap out, just let it die twice and then it will go away.
Install the Switches widget in for Go Launcher to add settings shortcuts for your wifi, GPS, screen etc (this will act as a replacement for not having them in notification bar)
Change your Icon and Font sizes in Go Launcher if you want them bigger
Like I say far from perfect but very usable and you can enjoy the goodness of tablet apps and views on your note.
Piccies attached.
If you want a solid solution for running apps at their own custom DPI without having to mess around with your systems default DPI then take a look at this bounty thread and offer your support...

No that is what will happen, you are maximising the use of your super high resolution on this device. In Go Launcher you can change the font size for your labels to make them bigger.
System UI will crash repeatedly, each time the OS tries to use it.
I would say that makes tablet mode unusable at this point, but tantalizingly just out of reach.

That's what I thought too, but as I am using third party everything it doesn't seem to be an issue so far. At least it's something to play with until one of the genius devs finds a native way to support this properly.

Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.

I was thinking, if you can get the dock more further down the screen, like the Go Launcher dock, then we will all get the feel off a even BIGGER screen.

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.

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!

Ah, it's already thrown off because of the 360 DPI probably. Might have to set the system to it's normal 480 and use App Settings to do individual apps.
