I had earlier posted this in the CM9 thread in the dev section but since no one was replying i thought id come to the general section
Our phone looks so beautiful when the lcd density is changed to 140:
And now the problem :
When i try to make a call or there is an incoming call the phone gives this error-
"Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working", and it becomes okay if i revert the density back to 160. This did not happen with CM7 and is there only in CM9.
I believe this is a prob with the phone.apk but i dont know how to edit system files
Can someone PLEASE make a fix for this
EDIT
Guys guess what I fixed it myself
Now you can can lower the density of your screen with the help of this
I just used the phone.apk file from a lower resolution phone's ICS unfortunately I don't remember which phone it was(I think it was htc wildfire). Link to phone.apk attatched.
Oh and I will take full responsibility for any damage this may cause to my phone but none if you try it and something happens to yours ;-)
I had this problem too, but I didn't know that density was the problem, so I went back to CM7. If someone can help fix this issue would be great. I appreciate the effort for anyone that tries to help.
Believe me it would be amazing if somebody could fix this. Our phone begins to look like higher end phones when the density is lowered.
Just wondering, in the screenshot with the status bar pulled down, did changing the density shift the blue circle on the bar (on the bottom) to the left?
Yeah but it still looks better ;-).

Problem solved.
See first post if you want to try it
What do you mean with Density ?
The Pixel-Density ?
kind regards

changing the density makes our device look ugly imo.. i like our default density, its perfect.. there is also pixelation here and there with lower density and smaller fonts.. u can increase font size, but well, doesnt suit me.

Technically lowering the density should make our device look ugly. But I find setting the density to around 140 makes the device(and the resolution) look perfect
and iv never faced any pixilation at that density, though setting it to 120(default ldpi) does make it look little pixelated and a bit ugly(and everything too small)

Guess uv got too used to the normal density
And iv removed the line from settings so cant say about that but no I don't have any prob with the search box
Edit
I just checked the dock divider and no I don't have any prob with that either :/
hey will this tweak work on xperia x8 with cm9 ?
Yeah it should. I cant tell for sure because I cant try it.
There's no harm in giving it a shot. Just backup before trying.

I had been using this with perfect peso(cm7.2 nightly based) and had got so used to it that at normal density ics was looking ugly to me
Thank you very much for this. I tried the same sort of thing myself, but because I have no idea what I'm doing, I tried taking the Phone.apk from a GB ROM that I was able to change the density on instead of one from a lower-res CM9 ROM and it caused a whole mess of problems, haha. Running Quattrimus CM9 alpha on my OV in beautiful 120 density.
I rooted my Ultra. Changed DPI to 240 - LOVE IT! Still on stock rom.
Most of the app adapted ok for new DPI but some not.
Installed "Exposed" and managed to get some good result adjusting Clock, Swift keyboard etc
Problem is the sistem Dialer (screen shot attached)
It's not actually a dialer.... It's the screen when the call is in progress.
I tried different 3rt party dialers but as soon i press call from any dialer i see this screen.
It is always in portrait mode.
It is usable but it looks ugly and needs to adapted for new DPI.
How can i adapt this screen to 240dpi using Expose?
What sistem app i need to modify.?
Thanks in advance for help.
in Exposed, have you tried changing Android System's dpi?
Verry interested by changing the DPI on the official rom.
What's the best way to do this ?
Just root the device and change the DPI setting in the build.prop ?
Using app setting I changed the phone and phone/messaging apk to 320dpi and screen to 480x854 also do the same for the contacts. Reboot and call yourself should be back to normal.

and this application does is change the screen resolution so you can operate the tomtom.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/01/5d44acc9f9801074db92ef2a6fca60a2.jpg
The good thing about this application is that it creates a notification in the notifications panel for one-touch can change the resolution back to the curtain down and clicking on it.
Samsung keyboard fails so I use when the use of google.

Hi all,
I have found a way to change the dpi without root, just using adb and cmd and it worked like a charm...well, almost. There are a couple of UI glitches that appear when you reduce (or increase for that matter) the dpi.
Firstly, the icons on the home screen mess up, but that's not SUCH an issue as you can install another launcher or in my case, find an icon pack that doesn't show the mess up quite as much (my preferable choice because you see the icons set in different areas of the UI, such as the notifications shade and recents menu, settings, etc.)
Secondly, and the most annoying, is the crop function messes up in the weirdest way. Whether it be when changing wallpaper or trying to crop a picture in CamScanner, the image you choose appears zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out or even move the image around, only zoom in further.
Now, my question is, has anyone managed to find a suitable dpi that MIUI does not have a problem with, or are there some standard dpi's MIUI uses apart from 480? Or has anyone found a way around any of these issues (or any other issues they may have encountered when changing the dpi)? Last but not least, is there a custom version of MIUI out there, or a rom that has it's visuals (and camera app) but custom tailored to suit various dpi's and other modifications?
I really cannot live with the stock dpi of 480, it's like using a phone made for old people, waaaay too large EVERYTHING on a large screen, I want to see more on a large screen. But I also am not yet prepared to go off MIUI as I really like their UI, visually, and I know any other rom will lose a lot of camera quality amoungst some other things like battery life, etc.
Thanks guys in advance for any advice.

If the original one is 386 I think 400 is kinda useless... Or did you mean 300?
Original is 403dpi if I'm not mistaken. I set mine to 375 and it's absolutely perfect..
Default density is 480.

No, the original is 480, which is too large...where did you get the number 386 from? perhaps it is another one of their phone's stock DPI, which means MIUI might not warp on this DPI value? Will check it out, but any information you have, please let me know

OK will try at home then.
Just to be sure - phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode to accept ADB commands from PC right?
used some of the suggested DPI's but...
so, thanks guys, used some of the suggested DPI values, 386 and 375, and mostly everything works fine....except still some small issues with the icons and the cropping. try and set a wallpaper for a whatsapp group for example, photo shows as zoomed in and cannot zoom out to choose a crop of the WHOLE image like I used to....have attached some screenshots of what happens to my icons....is this possibly because I am not rooted that the DPI value is not getting set in to the system correctly? Is anyone who is rooted facing the same issues or not?
might convince me to root, this is the first device i have managed to be happy without rooting lol

No, no need....as long as you have ADB drivers installed and you are launching the CMD from within the ADB folder, it will work. Oh and of course USB debugging enabled and the first time it tried to access the phone for ADB details, you will need to allow it to by hitting remember and ok on the phone

The original isn't near 386. I went down to 380 and everything it far smaller than a 6 dpi difference. I'd say stock is closer to 430 - 450
Yes man, you was right the original DPI is 440, the app textdroiderDPI was showing me an incorrect value of 386 (maybe a little bug...).
Setting it on 440 with LeDpiChanger gave me a full stock MIUI size
Stock is 480DPI, changers give bad result...just root and change build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=

Hi
I am using Lineage OS and I see the display size setting. However I do not understand what it does exacty. I am on a highres display so it is hard to tell what the underlying scheme is. IS it just making elements bigger or is it actually changing the display resolution?

It's the same concept as changing DPI in older versions of android, but in nogut, it can be done without reboot.
Hi
Thanks for the reply however I still do not understand the process because I never used changing dpi with older versions. Is this changing the actual "resolution" of the screen" Or is it playing some tricks to make the elements look bigger on the screen.

It reduces the size of everything in the screen which make you feel like you are using a bigger phone, but it's the same resolution
