Hey,
I wanted to change the dpi in order to let the icons on my screen appear bigger.
But I don't know which values I should set since I don't really know how this works..
So could anybody tell me the values which won't brick my phone?
Thanks

Lowest dpi - 170
ok but wouldn't this make the icons look smaller? Any way to increase density?

use lcd density modder pro.
if you use the free version you will get play compatibility issues.

I used this app once, you need root access and that's it, there is a higher density and does make icons larger, i would lower it though

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???

nope, changed, but still the same density
Cyanmobile settings worked for me you can also search for other LCD density tools on the market.

found one app...LCD density moder pro...works for me
just use root explorer, go into /system and opn build.prop in text editor (make sure mounted r/w)
look for the line in build.prop that looks like ro.lcd.density=120 and change the value to whatever you want it to be
save changes, exit, and reboot. your density should be changed to whatever you changed it to, and if you want it changed back, then look for your old build.prop which root explorer renames build.prop.bak as a backup
delete your build.prop and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop, reboot and you're back to standard screen density
i would rather do this way than having one more app on my phone's memory, plus there's a bunch of other stuff that can be tweaked in build.prop so really it's not a bad idea to be familiar with editing it and what each variable in it does
I hope you guys know that after changing density you will face a lot of app incompatibility issues?

changing happens only if you change below 100...i tested it
Hi,
Me and a couple of friends building a ROM now.
We want everything in the ROM to be small and it will look like the resolution is high, like in the SlimRom.
How can we do it?
Thanks everybody!
Try to resize graphics from every system apk... Should work.
In res/drawable something like that

I just dropped the resolution down using Terminal Emulator and changed the DPI and while the phone mostly looks good I have found it hard to get hotspots working with Zooper widgets. Does anyone have any advice about fixing this? Thanks

I used a terminal emulator to change the default density (560) to 460. Every single app works fine except Twitter. Images on Twitter are corrupted. When I set back the density to 560 the images return to normal. Is there any way to fix it? Or is it a side effect I will have to live with?

Also change density in build.prop. Google how if you don't know.
