I am currently using Paranoid android and I am looking for another ROM where I can set custom DPI...I know that resurrection remix has a tablet UI mod but I wanna use phone mode with a custom DPI...can you guys please list any other ROMs that have this option?
AOKP has it, but you can download apps to do it on any ROM.

just change the values in build prop ro.sf.lcd_density=240
just change number 240 to anything between 160-240
easy done saves downloading apps

I know about the pad.prop and the custom DPI panel...paranoid android is just being slow and giving me problems but I can't use ROMs on default 240 DPI anymore thats why i am looking for other roms that are smooth but have the option of setting custom DPI
Just use Slimics..it has 182dpi on default, with working play store pre-installed in the rom.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536783
Other rom that have working multi dpi play store pre-installed are insanity ics, hydra h20 and others i can remember, sorry...you can change dpi in all aokp rom in the rom setting but not all the roms have multi-dpi play store or dialer...just try slim ics, u won't be dissapointed..

What's the use of changing DPI's?

1. looks better to me

I have been using slim ics and paranoid but i wanna use a sammy rom
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

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.
Any help I can get changing the system font would e greatly appreciated, tried ROM toolbox after trying to load font, the system wouldn't boot.
Thanks in advance...

The font is built into two different parts of the ROM. In order to change them you will have to manually do this by pulling the font folder from one ROM and replacing it in Demented and reboot. A cache wipe in recovery wouldn't hurt after this change is done. The font in this ROM is the whole purpose of being Demented. That is why I suggested going into the font settings and choosing large. You can always change the DPI also try 160 and in the UI put it in Tablet mode then reboot.
I guess my eyes aren't what they used to be, thanks much for the info.

This is only a AOKP feature and maybe a Paranoid feature. Smoother is a AOSP CM base and is in tablet UI all the time.

Hello Nobe1976, I am a noob. Couple of days back I moved to Smoother Bean 1.5 (from Smoother Bean v 1.4.2) and have few comments on the new ROM
[a] Noticied new ROM v 1.5 does not require further flashing of Boot.Img (whereas v 1.4.2 had Boot.img update to be flashed right after ROM flash)
Old v 1.4.2 ROM was 106mb whereas new v.1.5 ROM is 144mb.
[c] New ROM is faster and smoother (than v 1.4.2). Appreciate your team's efforts
[d] Play Store is now not allowing me to install most (~75%) of my previously used apps (like Mint et al). This hinders to not use the tablet effectively
[e]. Is the issue mentioned on [d] anyway related to build.prop configuration of DPI is set to 160. Already changed DPI to 140 and 120 but in vain. Do I need to change any other property on build.prop? (FYI. Did modify another property from "userdebug" to "user").
[f] Felt the Stock browser is better (for Flash and Unicode support) than Chrome
Any further comments are greatly appreciated
Hello there,
thank you for developing themer, i follow you since the first time.
It works like a charm on KK but now I am testing the new CM12 on my SGS2 and when I try to apply a theme Themer download and apply it but it is "resized" or messed up.
Anyone else is experiencing this issue? Any help?
EDIT
It seems that certain ROMS modify the original sgs2 DPI (im referring here to ResurrectionRemix ROM) and so themes are loaded broken.

Themer works best with stock DPI. If you set your DPI to stock and then clear Themer's cache and data. Should work after that.

You can always revert back.
I would like to thank:
@scrubber, for guiding me, answering my questions and teaching a lot new stuff.
@DooMLoRD, for his contribution in Sony Kernel Developments. As I can see mostly everyone still using your implementations, including me now.
@venkat kamesh, for his work, I found some interesting stuff in sources.
@Tommy-Geenexus, for answering my stupid questions and giving me really valuable advises.
@nelikp, for answering some of my questions as well.
@PDesire, for making Desire Mod for my rom.
@art0502ver, for making theme and UI modifications like transparent nav.bar or Sony Clock on LockScreen. This guy really have taste.
@SÜPERUSER, for giving me some ideas, and sitting in a thread and helping people. That's really saves me time, which I don't have.
@sebmue, for "motivating" me a bit, first one and I hope not last one who supported a student,who in spite of a lot of academic debts,spending a lot of night working on this rom and kernel.
And all others. Really thanks all of you, for testing my rom and giving me ideas. Without you this rom still would be a version 1.0.

flashed sucessfully, found some translation failures but nothing important. running fast as hell. great job! thank you very much for this!!!
Is this faster or more efficient than Scrubber's ROM? I would like to know the difference. Thanks.
I did not make performance tweaks yet.
Maybe I will do so,in future releases.
Edit: Now there is difference
This Rom is dope! Fits all my needs. The extended Power Menü with Reboot options would be great an a possibility to Show battery percentage on the top bar. But everything is working fine. Thank you!
I am actually planning to do this in future versions.
Is IT possible to build in the true silent Mode, like on Kk, without using xposed?!

It will be hard, cause this rom is a port.
To implement a future, you need to build from source.
In my case, I must deal with smali code, which is much more complicated than siple java.
BTW guys, new version is on the way. Deodexed! Which means more friendly with all kinds of modifications including xposed.
Thabk you! Ibtry xposed on your next build
Link is up!

You mean Sony stock or GPe stock?
If you have Sony, then it's completely different rom, based on newer android version, works faster, without memory leaks.
If you are on GPe, then, it's deodexed, cleaned from useless apps, with Sony framework.
It's good-looking like stock Sony rom, and fast like Google rom.
