Hello guys,
In my previous phone I had modified the ROM (with assistant from the community) to show everything smaller in the phone.
I moved to the GT and even in the smallest font size everything seems huge.
Is there a way to make eveything smaller?

Hello everybody,
One week after I got my SGS2 I realized that the screen is way too big for this resolution (480x800). So I started playing with some screen density changer applications from market. Everything worked well, as I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275768 . But, I had some problems with the Market (couldn't download the most important applications) after I changed my screen's DPI.
Recently I found a software in market (LCD Denisty Modder) which in the Pro version offers you a fix for downloading applications from Market.
Ok, my question is : What if we change the screen density with the one on the Samsung Galaxy Note, and we use a Galaxy Note system dump to get the TouchWiz widgets. Could it work?
It would be nice to see some Galaxy Note wanna-be ROMs and believe me, after you use a lower DPI, you don't wanna come back to the stock density.
What do you think?

There's a limit by how much you change the ppi on the phone. I'm not sure why you'd want some touchwiz widgets from the Note
is there any way of doing this like what you see on sgs2?
No you can't. Samsung got some fonts preinstalled. This is not the case with Sony. Only one font available.
Big Font from market seems to be working...
Don't if it leads to lower quality bur can't really see a difference.
Hello,
My father has an EVO 3D GSM, he is still running Stock ICS. It's not even rooted.
Sometimes he has problems with his Evo3D because the font size is too small for him to read (although he normally just needs his glasses to read things like newspapers).
On my Sensation (Running Cyanogenmod9) I've got the option to change the font size from small to gigantic (maybe it's not called gigantic, but it looks like it).
I don't want to change his rom from stock to cm, cause his PC knowledge isn't that good and he always needs help if there is a change. So changes = bad.
Is there any way to change the font size on normal Sense 3.6 ICS on Evo3D?
It shouldnt be a problem if i root the device, but it should stay on stock rom.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
Fabi
You could try flashing a font with a larger typeface or at least an easier to read one, after rooting of course. Unfortunately, sense does not have a way to resize fonts afaik.

Do you have any example for such a font?
Or do you know a "hack" to change that settings parameter?

No, but the program I use is called Rom Toolbox Pro (available in the Play Store, there is a free version you could try). It requires root, but it allows you to flash fonts from a large list of available fonts and shows you a preview of the font first. You (or your father) could choose the one you like best.

I purchased a Lumia 800 for my mother and the font size is far too small for her too read. Having searched, this seems to be an issue for ALOT of people, however I cannot find anything about what can be done about this issue.
Are there any hacks which can improve the font size, particularly for SMS?
Or any apps which can tweak the font size?
Or can an unofficial but fully functional WP8 (with font size adjustment) ROM be installed on the Lumia 800?
can anyone tell me if I can change the font size ONLY in the 'Messaging' app? I'm using CM10.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate SGH-i577.
I'd like to keep the current LCD density, and 'Font Size' and all that, yet change (increase) the font size JUST for the Messaging app.
is this possible?
(I keep reading about "pinch to zoom" within messaging, but it appears that doesn't apply to Cyanogenmod 10.0, or 4.1.x...)
related: I only upgraded this phone a week ago to Cyanogenmod 10.0 - but I see that a variation of 10.2 is available now for the Galaxy Exhilarate- should I just upgrade to that?
if that would solve the Messaging font-size concern, and still allow choices of base LCD Density and still be completely and totally stable (the most important thing to me) then I'd go for it..
