Higher resolution

Hi all.
A few months ago i was running Slim ICS. And everything on that rom was smaller. Like a higher resolution. Can i get this on RR3.0.6 with Dorimanx 5.78?
Kind regards

All you need is to change your phone's dpi. Default setting is 240 dpi, if you want everything smaller than you should set lower value (220, 200, 182 or even 160).
You can do this by editing build.prop system file or use dpi changer app. Root is needed.

What you wanna do is change the dpi. You could use apps such as Nitrality or DPI Changer from the app store to do this. Be warned changing the dpi could cause problems with Play Store.
Before you do this, have a tried changing the font size in display settings? RR v3.0.6 has the option to set font size and the smallest option kinda looks great already without having to do the above procedure.

How low did you reduce the dpi to? Try out 220, 210 or 200. See if they work. Shouldn't be a problem in my opinion.

Don't edit your DPI with an app of you're on Android 4.1. Go to your build.prop file in /system/ and then find "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" and change the 240 to whatever you want your DPI at. Save & reboot and you shouldn't have any problems.

have you heard about ROM toolbox before? I think it's time you do some research

Use ROM toolbox lite to change your DPI. I have set my DPI to 184 on my S2 running RR 3.0.6. I have no problem at all. All apps are are working fine including play store.

[Q] Doesn't anyone know how to change the resolution?

How do you change the resolution in any ROM? I like it to look like Slim Rom for the Nexus.

I'll have to see how to do that. I like the screen small.

You must have root and you can use rom toolbox to edit build prop files.

Flash viper rom it has a built in tool for that. Running at 400 dpi and its ****ing awesome
If you change it you'll need to install the multi-dpi play store apk
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Since you're wanting to run desensed, I think if you run a third party lockscreen you can change the DPI to 320.
You'll need an app like market enabler and a custom lock screen and I'm thinking I'm missing one other thing useful but can't think of it.
If you check out JWhetstone02 (he has an inverted menus thread in apps and themes DNA subforum) and look through his posts he's got a lot of pointers and small DPI screenshots.

Hmm might check it out for a change then. Cheers.
Is there a particular module you need to use for this?
not sure, but if you search "xposed per app i9300" or something like that, you'll find it
I want the notification bar on the bottom like on paranoid android Roms. With changing dpi does not work for me

I found something in the note 2 forum but it works only for note 2 can anyone help me to port this ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Not possible. You need someone to port that feature to your device.
Tablet UI starts at 160 DPI, but if you set Android system with xpposed app setting to 160 your system UI would keep crashing so you'll end up loosing your Status bar

You Can Also Try Xposed Framework With Xposed App Settings For Per App dpi Settings Instead Of Changing it In build.prop

Hi can someone please give me the link to samsung's stock launcher with multi dpi capabilities as the only one I can find here on xda is the old post which only has stock launcher to 240 dpi.
I have looked again and again but I cant seem to find it anywhere but I see a few roms have it so there must it must be out there somewhere.

Anyone

Yes it does as I have had roms with multi dpi launchers as I was able to use them in 190 dpi with stock rom and pagebuddy. I just can't remember which rom it was.
