Hi,
This is a little guide of how to apply HDPI themes on your MDPI phone, requires root and its only tested on CM7 and CM9.
Im not responsible of nothing that happens to your device. Backup first.
So lets start:
1. Install this app
2. Download the HDPI theme and install it DON'T APPLY IT.
3. Open the app and change the density from 160 to 140 and click "Save & Reboot"
It'll ask for root and click allow.
4. After reboot, go to your theme chooser and apply the HDPI theme.
Ignore the message.
5. Go to the app again and change density from 140 to 160.
6. Click "Save & Reboot".
7. Wait for end the reboot.
8. Wait
9. Wait
10. Gotcha! Now the HDPI theme is applied on your MDPI Device!

One thing though. Make sure the Theme is in the phone memory. Not the SD card
Tested with about 5 different themes, and no problems

O_O Its almost the same as this.
There's no problem with that?
I followed instructions and it applied the theme but everything started force closing especially the launcher. I can't get back to the modder to change the density, any suggestions?

Open the play store and search lcd modder. Because already installed it, there's an option like open. Open the app and reset your dpi. Hope I helped.

Using this theme chooser mod you won't need to change dpi and reboot, just select whatever theme you want to set... but well I'm glad you found the solution

It's an HDPI theme. Download LCD Density app from
Google Play and set screen to 140 then reboot. Then apply theme and set screen to 160 again and reboot and voila done.

Update(03-22): These mods can now be produced for any CM10.1 rom for this device using the Auto-Patcher for Linux/Mac users. Here is the auto-patcher download page.
For users of Windows users check out kobik77's ApG. I haven't used it myself but from what I read it is very simple to use GUI, and builds all the resources required itself, and syncs with Mateor's Auto-Patcher on GitHub so you always get all the latest updates! It looks like you just drag your rom into the ApG window, pick your mods and let it do the work for you!!:laugh:

Does changing the density from the beginning from 160 to 159 instead of 150 and following the same steps work? without going through the wiping and re-flashing?
