LCD Density Changer The App?
I am using the free one From thE Market and it works amazing. I have it set to 180 and there is much of a change. Widgets look really small tho! Give it a shot!

Yeah, it's on the market, and here on XDA
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm too cheap to pay for something so simple. So, I whipped out the old adb pull, notepad++, and push method.

I'm using Launcher Pro. So, the widgets are resizeable.

180 is way to small, and also doesn't function right... I would press on something and a blue bar would pop up where I was touching.

280? You mean 180? Your sig says Desire Z. 280 would be giant on the NS, I'm using 215 and it looks nice. I noticed that anything other than stock 240 results in some banding issues on some window headers, such as the gray banner on the notification pulldown.
LOL, I tried out 280 to see what it looks like and the homescreen icons are so big they're rubbing up against each other.

I totally agree with the banding but I can't stand large text and the amount of icons you can fit in the 240. I have 5 home screens (5 icons x 8 icons each).

How did you change the density?

Haha, did you have the tiny fingers to use those icons effectively?
for some reason lcd density changer doesn't work for me
why would anyone even want to have so many and so small, icons on their desktops ?
It doesnt look very good, and it makes operating the phone difficult - I wouldent be able to hit these dotsized icons.
How did you get the boxes on the home screen with games,apps market ect to seperate them all???

Is it just me or is 240 dpi seemed snappier and smoother? it takes a few minutes to get used to it but it looks perfect. o just need to find a keyboard with bigger keys.

Yeah it's a Galaxy Note, are you jealous?
I have exactly opposite experience, I am on trr 1.5 beta with nova launcher and the swipe between home pages are quite laggy in 240 dpi setting. No lags whatsoever at 320 dpi setting.

I'm on ICS, using DAGr8 rom, really smooth on 240dpi using Apex.
I found 240 much better on GB. I could not find the correct matching upgrade for my eyes, however, so had to return to 320.
I am also on ICS and have no noticed any issue with 240DPI. It is reasonably easy to get used to but I prefer 260DPI, better for my horrible eyes lol.
I am wondering what value everyone is using for their LCD Density?
I am using ROM Toolbox Lite to change it, currently on a value of 210 (on DMORE 3.3 ROM), which seems a good compromise.
EDIT: Please add which ROM you are using when you suggest your density

Hey guys,
I was on 182 and I loved it.
Just upgraded to X-Bean and now I've lost the higher resolution.
Do you know the best way to get it back?
I had SlimICS before which had a settings menu with the option.
Thanks
I'm using 182 in Slim Bean. Kind of weird at first (started with 182 in SlimICS), but got used now and can't go back!

Using 210 DPI, since I flashed Elite's rom.
I use now 200 dpi but also 182 looks good.
Tiramisu (based on SlimICS).
question: how to calculate the resolution for 200 dpi and 182 ... at 240 it is 800x480. (need to modify the IGO8 setting) thanx

I used the build.prop editor available in the play store to change the density to 182. You then need to reboot to apply the changes. You also need to get a multi dpi play store installed as you will get incompatibility errors otherwise.

if Galaxy Nexus is 320 but if you try this it will make font and other bigger than expectation.
if use 160 is for tablet mode that make you gain more space but it will make your eye sight shor
So far I've changed a handful of apps and all seems well.
I got a little ambitious though and was going to try and shrink the status bar a bit.
If I remember correctly (been using PA for a while), in the past all that required was changing the DPI for Android System and System UI.
However, doing this leaves me with a gap under the status bar and changing the DPI of Android System seems to affect all the apps...and royally screw up the Samsung keyboard. It works, but the graphics are massively stretched so you have to guess where the keys should be.
Changed these particular settings aren't a huge deal, was just curious if anyone else has had more success, or if I'm just doing something stupid

I'm wondering about the same thing. I have not touched anything with the status bar but would really like to shrink the ridiculously large font. I have changed DPI on a number of apps and no issues so far.
I've never messed with this but I'd love to get rid of the huge font everywhere. Haha

I changed mine to extra small
I also use apex launcher and changed all the icon sizes to 85% and increased all the rows/columns +1
this made it seem as if it is a better dpi but without hardcore modding of the individual dpi's

I'm just doing individual apps for now as well. 400 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for my eyes.
I changed my whole system to 320 dpi for play store compatability. Whatever dpi ya set make sure to set the tw apps to 480 so they arent screwed up. These include calculator, phone, contacts, camera, email, photo editor, tw home & tw easy home. Ive noticed the keyboard is finally multi dpi and its working just fine for me on 320 dpi. Oh by the way i used rom toolbox to switch my overall dpi & set my per app settings BEFORE changing dpi to prevent any fc's lemme know if ya need any help

Yea changing the build.prop and then overriding a few apps is a much easier approach, good call.

Biggest thing is to make sure ya set the specific apps first haha. I set the whole thing once first and it was a big mess! With setting the apps I specified, the only weird thing i saw was if you go to task manager the top bar is off centered. You can still see everything but theres black space to the right. Other then that everything is just about perfect

Does running the dpi at 350 or 400 cause any issues with the play store? I don't have Xposed installed but I was thinking of using rom toolbox to set it at 350 or 400.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4
It may cause some apps not to show up in the app store because its an unrecognized dpi. Theres a module for xposed that restores app store compatability though I believe

Yeah the clock/weather screen that appears when the s-view cover in closed within the plastic window. Unfortunately I thought it might be tied to system UI which sucks.

Is your phone and contacts working properly? I did the Rom Toolbox as well and set it to 360. I used Xposed to set the DPI to 480 for Contacts and Phone. The initial dialer looks correct. However, after the call connects, the dialer is in the middle of the screen instead of being down the bottom like how it is before the call. Did you run into this issue?

Looks like mine is working now after switching launchers. So the culprit is in the settings of the old launcher and has nothing to do with build.prop DPI. This is good news :good:

While we're on the topic of modifying the look and feel of the phone, can anyone tell me where in settings I need to go to turn off the Weather/Calendar widget on the lock screen? I can't seem to find it anywhere in either settings or calendar app.

I downloaded the beta. When I started the app this morning I saw that there is an update from the beta to 2.3.1. Anybody updated to this version? If so, any issues? Without being able to do a custom recovery I don't want to take too many chances on an infinite bootloop.
Working fine here.
