Hi All,
I currently own a viewsonic vpad 10s tablet. It's currently on 1024x600.. is it possible to have a software hack or other to change the resolution to 1280x like the xoom?
The short answer is no.
The longer answer is...kind of.

OK, and now the even longer answer.
There is no way to increase the resolution to 1280 x 800. Our display is an AU OPTRONICS B101AW06. Look it up on the net & you'll find max resolution is 1024 x 600. What BK553 is speaking about is a change in text DPI. You can see this in Windows where you can change the DPI. Manufacturers normally set the DPI to give the user the best readability but not necessarily the highest DPI. If you change the DPI, text & icons will become smaller (or larger depending on if you increase or decrease the DPI). To see what effect LCDDensity Changer may have, see the attached picture. Icons are smaller & text is smaller, giving the illusion of higher resolution. Notice how the backbround is the same while the text & icons are smaller.
Again, you can not change the resolution...videos, pictures etc will always displayed at a max resolution of 1024 x 600.
By the way, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864338&highlight=lcd and you will see that atleast in Dec 2010 there used to be a field in build.prop that you could change to change the DPI. I looked for it in mine (I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn Combo v6) and that field no longer appears.

I use blade and spare parts to tweak the dpi. don't think you can get up to 1280 with any software though.
Hello
Can i change dpi stock 240. Someone have tested?

A solid-state screen's DPI is a physical attribute, you cannot change it.
I believe OP is referring to the soft DPI settings in build.prop. You must root, then edit the ro.sf.lcd_density setting in build.prop. It's already 240 on CM, not sure about stock though.

You are talking about PPI, not DPI
Stock DPI is also 240.
But why would you want to change that??
If some app is not displaying to your satisfaction, it's better not to modify build.prop, because it could lead to unexpected weird behaviors.
Better is to use the "Xposed Framework" with the module "App Settings"; there you can specify individual DPI settings for each app. The safer and more flexible solution! I use it without problems on all my devices.

As you didn't specify whether you want this on stock firmware or an AOSP ROM, I'd suggest to try the PACman port to the XTZ, as it includes per-app DPI modifier. It's currently in nightlies and no fully stable release as of yet, but it's worth to try if you really need that feature.
DPI = Dots Per Inch
PPI = Pixels Per Inch
The reason we've started to use PPI instead of DPI is because of PenTile, since that technology yields more pixels than dots per inch (dots are shared between adjacent pixels). Both are properties of the hardware but by telling Android you have a different DPI you can scale the UI. This procedure will make graphical elements that makes use of their physical size on the display (rulers, printing tools, etc.) show up at incorrect sizes.
For example, if you have a virtual measurement tape, you'll need to multiply all values with the original DPI divided by the new DPI. So if you choose to change your tablets DPI to 120, making every UI element scale to half of the original size, you'd need to multiply every value by 240/120=2 for it to match up with the real world.
I hope this clears things up.

As I already said: No need to change firmware. Just install Xposed framework with App Settings module on rooted device, and you can freely modify DPI per app.
I have used Note 1 and Note 2 the last 2 years, and now finally got the Ultra Z. Even if the screen is big, I think the text size on several internet pages (use Chrome) and several Apps are tiny compared to the size of the text on the Galxy Notes. I have of course been in settings under screen and increased the text size to the largest level, and also tried to increse the text size in my Chrome Browser, but this does not help. For example my Swiftkey keyboard feels smaller on Ultra than Note 2, even if I have changed the setting also to max portrait and landscape height.
Any solution to this issues problem?
thx

Firstly, it's not a problem, it's the way the phones designed, it makes proper use of the 1080p screens real estate and sets the dpi to something realistic. Galaxy Note used the same screen dpi as all its lower res phones so was completely pointless.
If you want to change dpi, you'll have to root and then either install an app which does it, but the often cause bootloops or you can manually edit the build.prop file yourself.

Root + Xposed framework + per_app_dpi and no bootloop. Only thing that can happen it's the app won't open with a bad dpi setting.

>Change Screen Resolution<
Introduction:
I'm going to write this guide to teach you how to change the Screen Resolution of your Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4 AOSP/CM Based ROM to improve the graphics performance of your Mi3 without stressing your CPU/GPU while playing games.
What you need to Download:
Resolution Changer by NoMone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_TXl1VcrLFoWB8QXozIGIBA
Root Browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ser&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oXl1VczIG4_s8AX7-YLQCQ
Note: Default Screen Resolution of Xiaomi Mi 3 is 1080x1920FHD @480 DPI, well what we are going to do is Change it into 720x1280HD @320 to improve performance. (Don't worry about getting the icons bigger, the reason why we have to reduce the DPI on the Build.prop is to avoid glitches and make the Icons and UI at the normal size when changing the resolution, because using the Resolution Changer alone will cause some glitches on other apps )
Steps:
1. Open Root Browser; and find /system/build.prop and open it using RB Text Editor.
2. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=480 and change it to 320.
3. Click Save.
4. Open Resolution Changer; Enter 720 Width, 1280 Height, 320 DPI
5. Click Apply and wait for it to change.
6. Click Yes to Confirm and Skip on the next dialog.
7. Now exit the app and Reboot.
After rebooting, you'll see that you've changed the Screen Resolution to FHD>HD. :good:
Congratulation, to prove it do an Antutu Benchmark test and you'll see the difference. :good:
Additional Info:
(OPTIONAL IF YOU'RE USING CUSTOM DPI ON FULL HD)
If you were using a custom DPI on FULL HD for example;
You're using 400 or 380 or 370 on 1080x1920FHD Resolution,
Do these to properly change resolution to avoid getting the UI or Icons Bigger than Normal.
Example;
If you are using 400DPI on 1080x1920FHD.
400÷3=133DPI
400-133=267DPI
so the right DPI that you're going to use would be; 267DPI on 720x1280HD PLEASE, DONT FORGET to CLICK THANKS!
Everything is working almost perfectly. Some icons are larger than they used to be. But that wasn't problem. Real problem is that SwiftKey keyboard didn't scale. So I had to revert back to Google original keyboard to reset resolution back to 1080p

Oh I forgot to write something about Swift Keyboard, Sorry since I used Google Keyboard. but aside from Swiftkey everything is fine :good:
I have done this years ago. Not only CM/AOSP but all rooted phones.
Thanks for putting some guide though. :good::fingers-crossed:

I wrote this guide for those who are confused and experiencing glitches when using the Resolution Changer alone and of course for the beginners
added additional info.
I just noticed. I used 294 DPI for 720x1280

Alright! ?
Initially tried this with MIUI v5, turned out to be very bad. The icons became very large and going to back to native resolution didn't help either. Fortunately I had nandroid backup.
Later I tried it on MIUI 6, it worked!
Some glitches are there:
- On recent apps screen
- camera effects selection screen
- Calender and clock icons turned invisible
- Minor glitches in clock app
Otherwise everything looks good, and performance bump is noticeable. Excited to find out how much it improves battery life.
Thanks for sharing.

No problem
that's why it's for CM/AOSP Based ROM but I'm glad that it worked for you though there are some glitches.
Hi im using a a33 tab with screen dpi 160 and 480x800 resolution. Can I change this to higher resolution and dpi?

You can but, I won't recommend it because it would just stress out the processor and gpu of that low-end tablet, just leave that be.
Better use gl tools
While everyone gets larger icons,i am getting small icons,small screen,and all the app including resolution changer itself says the current settings is 1080x1920 with 320dpi.
Where am i doing it wrong?
I am on cm12 latest nightly.
same problem as Jongla here, running the same CM 12 nightlies. I guess the problem is that resolution changer doesnt change anything after you apply, current settings are kept as FHD res. Maybe try a different app to do it.

thanks buddy, this one works like a charm
cool trick..
It's become blurry, not clear like before
Guys, if you're using a CM rom, just install Xposed and install the App Setting module. Then, you just choose the app, turn on the custom settings, choose the resolution and dpi you want, and the app will run with those defenitions without having to mess with the entire UI on the device...
I have found a way to enable 120hz on WQHD+ display setting
For root
1. Install Easy DPI Changer [Root]
2. Change resolution to 1436x3192 and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz
Without root
1. Use adb
2. Change resolution to "adb shell wm size 1436x3192" and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384 "adb shell wm density 384"
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz
Screenshot 1 - Screenshot 2
Have fun!

Hey Thank you very much for sharing this tweak! I'll test battery life
BTW just wondering in case I wanted to go back to stock... I'd just change the resolution, and that's it, right?
Thanks, settings that seem to look the best for me:
adb shell wm size 1436x3192
adb shell wm density 511
Set "Font Size" to 2
Will check this by tonight. Nice !
How to change all back to stock? Especially the density and font size?

Just change resolution in settings like normal, and change DPI in developer options to 411
-------------
Unfortunately with this new resolution it causes an empty gap around the edge of the screen

Thanks. Is the empty gap happened because of the dpi?
Update: I think because the resolution for WQHD+ is 3200x1440. Can we have the 120Hz with that resolution rather than 1436x3192?
Thanks my friend.

How is this possible? I was under the impression the panel itself is unable to support this due to hardware limitations ?

Yeah! It is hardware limited. The device is actually running at HD+ on that resolution, and the phone is capable of running HD+ @120hz but if you set the WQHD+ screen size correctly (1440x3200) the phone will run only @60Hz.

It's not 120Hz at that resolution, I tried too, it says 120Hz but is actually 60Hz, it's not smooth like 120Hz
