some honeycomb optimized apps (such as youtube and kindle) only work when you change the lcd density to 100 from the stock 120 using am app such as "LCDDensity" I was wondering if there was a way to change the lcd density upon opening these apps because changing the lcd density to 100 causes some other apps (such as google goggles) to stop working and also messes up the homescreen. thanks

Well since you didnt write WHICH apps or WHICH home I suppose you are speaking about the Samsung ones, which are written for 240 DPI and not compatible with other ones.
There are versions here for the apps or home working on the smaller DPI but you have to search.
But rather then that, use alternatives likes launcher pro for home and for apps, depends what you want.
Also in spare parts, uncheck compatibility mode can help you with some apps
Btw I dont use some third party app change the density since its just a line you have to change in build.prop. So I dont know if it has some special functions making the apps compatible
I changed my lcd density via sgs tools to 200. But now the music app and the phone diaper are small. How can I make them full screen again?

Also the smaething with the calculator. Those three apps are smaller and are not full screen

You might try to use Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher. I don't know if they have to be the paid version to get the widget size adjust or not. I don't use LCD density changer even though I have purchased it.
It is a known issues when changing the lcd density. For the dialer you will need a custom dialer that supports density changes. As for the others not sure if they can be fixed.

Simply change your current lcd density to default 240 with the app you used.you've lower the default density so all display were affected & some other apps may not run properly with that setting. I rather not change the default cause it affects the clarity and sharpness of the display.
If you found it hard to use sgs tools to get back to your default display download lcd density app in the market it is free & much simpler to do.

No way am I going back to 240. But I guess if there is no way to fix the issues, ill guess I have to deal with them. Thanks guys for the input!

I've just acquired a tab and playing with the custom roms available.
On my dell streak you can increase the pixel density, which effectively gives you what appears to be a higher resolution screen... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003525
Is cheating, but very effective in most cases... I.e. I have a 6x6 grid of icons on my homescreen, whereas on the tab I can only do 5x5 despite having an extra 2 inches of screen!
My question: are there any roms out there that let you do it? And/or is it possible on the tab?
Cheers

You don't need a rom to do it you just need to edit your build.prop file and set the density you want. You will need to be rooted though to edit the file.
Alternatively you can just download a density changer app from the market and you can set it easily with that, although it only lasts until reboot.
LCD Density Chager from the market will do this for you and allow you to save the changed density so that it applies it when rebooting. It does require superuser and also rooting (I think).
LCD density 120 .. nice but a lot of programs and functions are not completely visable
if i change it to 110 or 115 than i get the following
the good:
My icons in a 5 x 4 raster looks great
In widget locker i can finally set the lockscreen volume and i have more space in the screen
Some widgets like beautiful clock/weather look even better than before
in the USSD code screens i can finally see all the lines/inputs
the bad:
Zoner AV crashes immediately - when it tries to generate the icon in the status bar
Games like coindozer comes to almost a complete halt
Gallery takes hours to create thumbnails
is there an option/setting to make it all come to work ?
A.
There is a fixed dpi setting for your phone.. If you change it some apps won't work.. For all apps to work, you must use the default dpi settings
Iwas already afraid of that

Has anyone messed around with the DPI? I used ROM Toolbox to change my DPI to 360 in build.prop. I get random FCs but have not narrowed it down to certain apps yet. I did use App Settings to change Contacts and Phone back to stock 480 DPI so it aligns correctly.
