Hi everyone!
All is in the title
Since the new version of google doc is on the market, I desesperate to turn it in tablet mode with the last kang build of ICS. I don't know why and it's an bit frustrating to have only the display reserved to a smartphone on a 7 inch tab...
I believe that dropbox have the same problem too!
Am I the only one?
Or which reason do this? Lcd density?
Thanks for your responses guys!
Hi,

I have compared the two version and you lose nothing in my opinion. Tablet version does not adds so much compared to the phone version.
I am also using the same release. Try to set the dpi to 240 in LCD density and it should work however all the other things will be large.
Thanks!
Haven't try yet 240 dpi with ICS, will test this! I hope it's not too big^^
240 dpi will get you a phone vesion of ics. Try 120

You're right DKStalker, I tried and it's weird at 240^^, but it give a look of what looks like a phone on android 4, I can not wait of a good ICS rom on my wildfire now
With 120 dpi it works well and the new version of doc is really nice but go back on 160 because it was too small!
I hope google will fix this lack at 160 dpi in a new version soon^^
Thanks guy for your help

Since I use this application on my HTC Evo I thought I would give it a shot on my XOOM. Default settings it at 160 and I've accomplished getting the XOOM to 120 and STABLE. I'm not sure if anyone here has used this application but it basically adjusts your resolution on the device itself. Let me know if anyone comes around and try's it out as well. I haven't gone anything below 120 currently because I am happy of how the display looks at the moment.
Any issues with scaling, something not looking right? I haven't rooted my xoom yet, but this was one of the first things I thought of doing.

screenshot please..how it look on desktop, gmail and gtalk?
Everything is working perfectly fine. I actually uninstalled the application because the display where you can adjust icons, etc gets smaller and you have less room to place more things on the screen. It looks great but it just doesn't seem practical to be on a tablet. If you have a rooted XOOM def. try it out and tell me what you think about it?

Agree. The density of the Xoom is fairly small to begin with (160). It seems to be more fine tuned. What a difference with the first generation tablets! Those had a density of 240 and looked like the screen of a giant phone LoL
Did you also try to blow up the density? Wonder how it would look like with a density between 175 and 190

In 180 dpi you don't get the gaps but the phone app doesn't work properly
oh only if u would have seen this post like an hour ago, i was on slim ics 3.3 but switched back to cybergr v10 because of the screen lag i was getting, maybe compared to cybergr it is slow .. it was quite annoying.. i used apex launcher over it still the speed difference was ther
i do have a nandroid backup of it so when i restore it ill surely add pics here
nice idea though for having this thread .. * thumbs up *

What is it that happens at 213 DPI that triggers Tablet UI?
Why cannot we have the Tablet UI at higher DPI?
Kindly enlighten me.

So does this mean that we can indeed make manipulate Android and get tablet UI before 213 DPI?

If I understand correctly, it is up to the app to decide at what DPI the tablet interface is used. If this is true, it seems odd that every single app out there switches at 213 DPI, so I'm probably wrong!
Can't we just trick apps into thinking your DPI is lower than it is?

You can use imilka's CyanogenMod 9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589375 to set your Note in Tablet Mod. It works - i tried, check it out.
Depending on your ROM, you can try to use Markets Apps to change the DPI (but not App- related): LCDDensity works fine with latest GB.

If i am not wrong till now all the tablets we have are below the 213dpi mark. Aorund 160 to 180 dpi on all tablets. So lets see if the tablet ui can be achieved at higher dpi because the higher the dpi gets it will increase the size of everything on screen (apps fonts layout)and then it will be difficult to accommodate everything on the screen.

I'm running CM9 as well, but doesn't that tablet mode zip just set the DPI to 213? Or is it not dependent on DPI? That would be pretty sweet.

Sorry, did not try to change the preset dpi settings in tablet mode.

I do not think so. As I understand this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1589375 you can change the dpi settings in tablet mode.

I took a peek inside that zip, and it looks like it just changes the build.prop file to one that has the lcd density (DPI) set to 213. So it doesn't "lock" it in tablet mode or something like that.
Also, the URL you posted is messed up.
would be great if you could trick apps into thinking your dpi is less than 213 but really not.
Would love to use evernote tablet UI without having to have such a low dpi

There is no way to run "in tablet mode" with a DPI. 213 dpi starts the tablet UI. But, like someone else said, true tablet UI is actually 160 dpi. You wouldn't want tablet UI to be "huge" on your phone like 320 dpi (the note) is. 280 dpi is like standard phone dpi, but the Note is 320.
Just the way android is built. But, it wouldn't be tablet if it was above 213.
It can get confusing, but I think we are over analyzing this, haha.

oh sure i know its not 'possible' just sometimes think the note being almost a tablet and such high screen rez some tablet ui app goodness would be sweet

Well what I am trying to understand is that-
Say we are at 220 DPI which is not too big, but big enough to not to have a tablet UI. But at 220 DPI Note looks awesome, with things not too big or not too small.
So if all the apps try and get the DPI values from Android OS and switch their lay out accordingly, isn't it possible to fool these apps (like we do for play store) to think that the DPI is <213 so that they are laid out in tablet UI?
Any ideas? Looking around dont see much on it.
What do you mean, an issue with it ? Your question is pretty vague and we can't do too much to help you without more details.
Stock CM9 install sets your DPI at 160. You can change this at any time by modifying your build.prop and changing the setting for lcd.density to something else - 120 is another common one to use. It's all a matter of personal taste. I have come to like the 160 - it isn't TOO big, but it's big enough, and things work quite well.

Changing the LCD Density requires a reboot. Please share the app that does this, as I have yet to find one.
One solution is to keep the LCD at 160, but using GO Launcher HD. You can set the icons to be smaller, and it overall looks much nicer then 120, which I find is wayyy to small.
There's a patch that you can flash available in the Alpha2 thread on Rootzwiki. As for an app, I haven't found one that just changes your lcd.density of your build.prop, but it is doable relatively easily.
I use an App from Google Play called 'DPI Changer'.
I know there are some ICS (Phone) Roms that have PAD (Per App Density) feature and you can configure how you want it, but it's something built in to the Rom. Changing the dpi now does require a reboot.

LCD Density Modder is the best app for changing the DPI of your Touchpad.
My current DPI is set to 155 its the best density I've used yet
I liked native 132 quite a lot but anything else than 160 or 120 breaks Market unfortunately.
And I'm too lazy to patch it so I'm on 160.
Things are quite big but it's okay...

LCD Density Modder Pro allows you to download a patched Play Store apk and also a modded Google Services Framework apk to solve doing compatibility issues ... no othet app offers that that I know of

Another option for those who stay at 160 dpi is the change the font size to small in the display settings. It makes the display much better. I prefer to run at 120 with the font set to huge which is another option that works pretty well.

Hi all.
I don't want to install a custom ROM but I wish to make the DPI smaller on my phone, can someone tell me how I achieve this please? Just a case of rooting and away I go?
PS: I'm new to HTC, long time member of the Galaxy series.

except one thing that the default dpi of One is 480, you can change to about 250 (quite small) to 360 (i'm using it, amazing). remember to change the dpi of the launcher to 480 before change the dpi number in build.prop or you could use another launcher like Nova, it works fine with small dpi
Thanks mate will do.
I'm using next launcher 3D currently.
i think it'll work fine, if not, try nova
