Galaxy Tab with LCD Density

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.

New Nexus 7 Landscape Mode

I bought the N7 a few weeks ago an love it. The only thing I found I didn't like was not
having home screen rotate to landscape mode. Luckily there is a free app in Google Play

Ratings are saying that it causes lag. If rooted might as well edit local.prop

Just use the beta apex launcher it is perfect.

I get so much lag doing the local.prop fix. Sometimes it works immediately when I rotate, but more times than not it will hang for 30-40 seconds before you see anything or can do anything. Ever since I turned off Currents everything else has been perfect except screen rotation. Any ideas?

Edit the build.prop file for true tablet ui with no lag. The dpi I use is 175 which is perfect. You do have to revert back to 213 to make purchases threw play. So I buy apps in bundles so I spend as little time with that hideous stock phone ui.

Why not just use a multi dpi play store like i do? I use slimBean, one is included with that. I can see all apps at any dpi

Or use EOS rom which has native DPI tablet mode and no worries at all.

Just finished unlocking and rooting with Wug's tool,and installed PA with Motley kernel. Getting all my apps and settings in order now!
So far I'm digging it!!!!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I caved in and bought the ultimate rotation license for $4 :what: It seemed a bit much but it works like a charm with no lag and it rotates in a split second unlike the other methods I tried. Another thing I factored in was, I was able to also use the license for my samsung galaxy s3 cause touch wiz also doesn't rotate so I figure 4 bucks for 2 of my devices isnt that bad.

Use ultimate rotate control with your 25 bucks its worth it

I love ultimate screen control , but is it normal for the notification shade to be towards the left when in landscape mode (when pulled down)? I wish it were in the middle...

Manual Brightness Control Stuck

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?

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.

Screen density issues

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

Per-App Dpi Module or App?

Anyone know of an app or module to change dpi for individual apps? I'm on Marshmallow with Xposed. I'd like to use tablet mode for some games.

Changing settings in build.prop needs a reboot to become active. There is a build.prop editor in the PS. My dpi is set to 384. Font size huge.

I don't want to change dpi of the whole phone, just a few apps.

There's an app floating around somewhere called Screen Shift I think it does something like you're wanting.
