I wasnt satisfied with 1024x600p resolution the icons were huge so i rooted my tab with z4 and ive installed LCD Density .. and im keeping my tab at 200dpi (not to big but not to low either).
I have a question .. will this drain my battery faster cause ive noticed my battery lasts less in the last 2 days.. or is it just my 3G connection (im on Froyo 2.2 XWJJ3 default stock rom).
Changing your lcd density will not effect your battery

I like mine at 175, but my question is- will lowering LCD density have an affect on how the android market detects app compatibility? There seems to be yes answers and no answers I'm very confused...

This is my second tablet device that I have changed the density for and it doesnt seem to affect any app compatibility.
Whenever I set 200 density, market doesnt show me many apps that I have downloaded for free and paid in "My Apps". It also doesnt let me update the apps that are not shown.
For a little while now I've had my density set back to 240. I also had some app update issues when the density was changed. Appbrain would often show apps that had updates available that didn't show up as updateable when I looked in the market. And although appbrain said there were updates the apps wouldn't update.
Haven't had any such problems with my density set back to 240.

Changing your density will only affect apps and games that are not compatible with the density that you change to. When I change my density to 200, which is my ideal resolution, I have 5 games that do not run and their icons show up as a green and while box with the android logo in the middle of the box, they also do not show up in the my apps list in the market. When I change back to the original density of 240 everything works as normal, all 5 apps run and their icons come back as they should and they also show back up in the my apps list in the market.

Hmm. I run 180 and I have never seen any of that behavior.

I envy all you people running at < 240 dpi. My eyes' lenses got EDoF like a fu**n' cheap phone optics

Funny how this doesn't affect everyone. But it affects a lot of us, thank you very much for a bit of clarity!

Does the camera work when set at 180? Mine doesn't work on anything below 200
182 was the lowest I could get and have the camera work.
I just tried 182 and it works now on mine.

Is there a way to change the density but keep the font size unchanged?Thanks

No, changing the density is changing the resolution. Everything gets smaller or larger at the same rate.

Noob question but what does changing dpi settings do and whhat are advantages/disadvantages I see people talking about changing this and wondering why?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Changing dpi all in your screen will be smaller than stock.
good→better looking
bad → some apps stock and not doesnt have compatibility (for example dialer isnt in the center of the screen.)
So would recommend to change this on my note? Also what would be the best setting?
Also would this make apps crash if they not compatible?
Thanks for your reply and help

Is there some sort of hacked market for SGN like i had on HD2. So when you change your DPI you still can use all market apps. As i now cant use zen brush on CM9 when i changed the DPI form 320=240

I haven't heard anything like what you describe for SGN. Does the problem continues on all dpi changes? Have you tries 260?

This app will solve all your problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro the 'fix market' options lets you install a customised version of the market that tricks it into thinking your using a dpi of your choice
This is an odd problem for me. I really love the Lux Auto-Brightness app and use it all the time but I've been having this issue that's now preventing Lux from doing it's job. Third-party app control of Screen Brightness doesn't work. If I go into the Android settings and change the brightness from there it works fine but every single Third-party app I try can't control my brightness. I can't even control the Screen Brightness from within MXPlayer anymore and that was working fine as well. I've thought maybe something is wrong with Lux but uninstalling and rebooting didn't fix anything. Does anybody have any ideas what's causing this?

I'm running rooted Stock 4.1.2 with only mod being the change of dpi to 160. I've made no other mods.

Stupid question but did you try changing the dpi back to the original setting? If so and it didn't change anything I would just do a dirty flash of stock rom. Changing dpi can screw up a lot of things.

Changing the dpi didn't help. Doing a dirty flash is an idea but I'd prefer trying something less extreme before doing that. It'd be a pain to re-setup root and things just to get brightness control fixed. At that point I'd probably just move on to a Custom ROM.

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance for the help. I don't know about everyone else... But every phone I have had I always change my density to around 360ish or there is a Rom preconfigured . it seems more functional to me lol. Any who... The one issue I have never solved is the lock screen and dial pad. They are all aligned to the left. It really bugs me. Anyone know how to fix this and center them

Get the app settings xposed module and change the dpi for them back to 480. People have remade some of them to be custom DPIs but im not entirely sure if they're compatible so you could try those or make your own if you dont want them at 480
