Hi - Easy DPI Changer app... Good rating in Android store, very few reports of it bricking phones, but I have a very important, but basic question:
Is it possible to set the resolution DPI too high or too low, making the phone unusable?
For example, if I set the DPI to 1 might the phone become impossible to use because the buttons appear off the screen?
Supposing I set it to 1000? Might the phone crash and boot loop before being able to set it back to a safe DPI?
I'm not looking to set crazy DPIs and brick my phone, but I just don't know what sensible DPIs are!
Any thoughts appreciated, Ta!

I have a Dell Streak 5, but I bought a Galaxy S II last night. I realize the screen is a bit smaller, but I find the resolution or density extremely poor...I like a lot more on my screen, and it seems everything is too large. It's a show stopper for me. Is there anything I can do to change this before I return back to the Streak?
There isn't really a viable software fix for this, so just return the phone and get a Galaxy Note (1280 x 720 at 280 something PPI, 5.3inch screen).
1. Get your device rooted
2. Download "LCD Resolution" from Market.
The lower the number, the higher the resolution.
NOTE: Apps may not be fully optimized for this kind of resolution such as Phone, where the keypad is smaller than the screen. Market works with this DPI modification.
Also click on "Always Set On Boot" in the app so that it would automatically adjust your desired Density at boot.
Is there any way beside to reboot with the standard density ti fix the no supported device issue in markte with low density?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No - the market checks it and it only takes effect at startup.
is there any risk that i may not see some apps if i use 160 in dpi or is it just as compatible as 240?
Im making a tablet rom for the ray and i have faced one problem, if i lower the screen density in the build.prop to 160(like a tablet) when i call someone or get a call the phone says the process com.android.phone has stopped.
i thought maybe i can change the phone.apk to a tablets one and then which one?
Thank you for the help.
Why not use screen density 240?
When you lower the pixel density more things fit in screen with the modding i did to the framework-res in 240 not everything fits the screen for example the lock screen.
The Ray has a small screen, why do you want to make it smaller?
I doubt that what you are doing has any practical usage.

Yeah, basically I'm looking for a way to lower the minimum screen backlight brightness preferably by lowering the voltage. Would it be possible to do this reducing voltages etc & if not can anyone suggest a way it may be achieved without using an app running in the background. Just to be clear, an app that alters some setting to achieve this but doesn't run otherwise is acceptable.
Thanks for any replies

With mate 10 lite's resolution being 1080x2160 (18:9) instead of the traditional 1080x1920 (16:9), I find that some apps (particularly clash of clans) are too blurry with standard settings applied. For some apps the phone offers the "full screen display" option, which is basically only for apps in vertical position. Due to clash of clans being displayed in portrait mode, it's really blurry up until the moment I change the DPI settings under developer options. Standard is 432 and I change it to 502. But everything becomes pretty small on the phone at that point and after the reboot, it will jump back to 432 dp. Does anyone have another solution for this non-traditional resolution size?
You could try using the adb commands in this post. I used to use it to force the resolution I wanted on my Z5premium

I have also noticed like you that after a restart the changes in developer options reset to default. It's pretty annoying and I can't find the any setting in build.prop to try make it permanent. It's not in the list as far as I can see.
