Hi,
I want to change DPI on my I9300 with latest stock 4.3 Samsung ROM (rooted) - XXUGMJ9 so I edited the /system/build.prop file using Solid Explorer and changed there ro.sf.lcd_density to 245. After reboot I didn't notice any change. I tried the Texdroider DPI changer but it's already saying that my DPI is 245. Any ideas what I'm missing? Do I have to install/flash anything else?
Thanks.
There can be 2 lines ro.sf.lcd_density in your build.prop maybe u missed one.

LOL, you were right, I changed only one line but there are two lines in the build.prop. Thanks!

Hello :
Every time that i flash a rom i cant see all applications in the market.
Is there any work around ?
If its a cognitinon rom i can flash a mini theme that change the build.prop with -build.prop file with dalvik.vm.heapsize=70m and the ro.build.fingerprint changed to that of a nexus s.(this should allow you to see ALL the apps in the market)
Help....
No there's no workaround. You have to change the build.prop every time...

Does anybody know how to change the DPI on latest ICS leaks? Tried app that worked on LP2, LP5 but its not working on these new fw.
Download root explorer (make sure you're rooted) then go to system/buildprop then look for ro.sf.lc_density. Edit that value to your choosing then save and reboot
Be careful, i'm not entirely sure but i think that changing DPI in LPB causes problems with the phone, on LPH i don't know, sorry
And yes the method to change is like said enrygie...
I was looking rather at som app that can do that for me (yep I am lazy ), but changing value in build.prop works so far. Phone booted and so far no FC or anything bad happened. So thx.
That's great! Keep testing

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 .

in /system/ find build.prop
open in text editor
find this
ro.sf.lcd_density = ''
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

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.
I'm trying to change the DPI from 320 to 240, but everytime the phone wont boot. any ideas? im using android revolution hd 9.0.0 with stock android jb launcher. ofc i made a backup, well my phone is running, but i still want to change the dpi. i used dpi density modder

Hi everyone! i'm looking for a way to change dpi in Miui 8 rom but not success. i tried Texdroider & adb tool
Can you have experience with this?
tks you
add line in build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=400
if you rooted you can use android terminal and type
su
wm density 400

lots of apps are available in playstore for dpi changing.
Yeah, but apps mess up icons...better to use adb or build.prop editor
Use easy dpi changer from playstore.
add/modify ro.sf.lcd_density=x in build.prop in case the dpi change messes up icons and images in apps.

here's a full youtube tutorial that doesn't affect icons
