[Q] What is the best LCD Density

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

Hi, I'm on Slim ics v4.0 and as standard Dpi is set to 182 and I find it really clear and defined. Any lower and icons are not spaced out right on the home screen. (Trebuchet). Got rid of lightning launcher

dpi
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!

OP suggests ROM Toolbox allows you to change it, you should try that.

I'm using 200 dpi

240

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.

I used this for the store and it seems to work perfectly ... just flash from cwm ... and follow the directions

For Galaxy S is 240
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

Thanks for the help. I guess the work around is the only way. Do you know of a noce theme with a circular battery icon?

I have a tab running cm9.1 rc1... how can I change the LCD density?

[Q] Change LCD Density

The SGS3 comes with a standard LCD density of 340. Now will probably be fine when I'm 85, but right now I'd like to get it lower, like somewhere between 200 and 240 Is it possible to change the LCD density on the SGS3 i9305?
I've tried LCD Resolution and it did nothing. I don't want to try LCD Density Modder because the reviews relating to SGS3 are terrible, most users had to re-flash their roms due to bootloops.
Are there other XDA/Google Play apps anyone can recommend or can this perhaps be done by editing a specific system file?

"Texdroider_dpi" from Play Store works fine and it's free

Thanks - what DPI values have you tested/used? And what did you find most suitable for daily use?

I only use stock dpi but from memory rom toolbox has an option to change dpi and you can also edit your build.prop and change the ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to another value like 240.
From memory I think 240 or 260 was a commonly used dpi but also not all system apps and mods support the multi dpi, stock dialer was one of them can't remember any others.
Good thing to have a nandroid backup when playing with the dpi incase of bootloops

It's safe, I've been messing with it on SGS2 and now. Very easy to use, no boot loops for me at all.
Now I'm using stock 340 but tried 220 & 240 and all works fine. 220 is tiny tho
Stock dialer is NOT full screen, can be annoying....

Note2 camera mod working also at 240 DPI on SGS3 LTE.. so the only mod I can't get working yet is the dialer at 240.. currently the 240 mod FCs but there's an update coming this weekend so hopefully it will sort the dialer.. then it's all good, 240 DPI with no compromises

Has anyone tried changing their dpi? The stock is a little big for me
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app

Stock is a lot big. I run AOSP all the time. So I've changed mine to 410. Looks so much better.

Use 440 myself, on XDABBEB's ROM. Stock is 480.

I use texdroider dpi changer and have mine set about 400. Some things look weird like the camera but I like a smaller DPI
