I have set lcd density to 200 running cm rc2 and the icons look fuzzy (time looks fine though). Whats the problem?
Also, what other roms give me the option to change density?

Change the settings and try different numbers, you can use any rom and have lcd density, download it from the market.
I guess that wasnt clear - what roms are themed well enough to work with lower density?
Can someone attach lcd density here please.

open /system/build.prop in a text editor using root explorer and change the value there
ok thanks mate.

Ey!!
Maybe a silly question, but does somebody know how to change dpi on DHD?
I mean, my screen can handle 5 ''icons horizontally'' ,
how can I change the dpi to get for example 10 ''icons horizontally''.
Thanks in advance.
There's a thread here abouts for changing the DPI (although might only be if you have Cyanogen ROM) but the search I'm sure you'll do will bring it up.
Home Replacement apps like LauncherPro or ADWLauncher allow you to set number of icons but can be a bit hit or miss.
Thanks for your reply,
i got launcher pro, i made it 5icons horizontally en 4icons vertically.
if you make it more, the icons gets ugly, they dont fit normal, and some problems...
what it does, it makes the icons smaller but doesnt change the screens dpi i think.
i got stock rom.
The ugly icon issue is why I didn't bother changing it.
With a stock ROM, unless it's rooted I doubt you'll be able to change the DPI. I do recall someone mention an App but I memory serving it was for the Galaxy and tests failed on the DHD.

you can either edit the build.prop in /system or buy lcd density changer from the market ......

Both methods require root access (A rooted ROM).
true story, which makes mines NOT ROOTED xD
so i have to root it first..? no other solutions?
No you can't change your dpi without root.

after scouring youtube and finding nothing Im going to rely on XDA , anyone care to show off with video of their customisation, the S2 has no notification light, not a great launcher and a pretty janky looking lockscreen - otherwise seems a beast of a phone, would anyone care to show off? I would love to know if the very few shortcomings of the device software (and the led deficiency) can be fixed easily with third party software
pretty please?

sounds good but coming from a htc hero I love being able to glance at notification light when I enter my office again and know without waking the phone if i got anything new...
of course, you could show off the combo via some juicy 24fps streaming goodness ... ?

wow , that looks slick! I don't know the default lcd density for S2 but I assume that 202 was to fit more on screen? smaller fonts etc?
nice one!

Default density is 240, 202 is indeed smaller fonts and icons so you can fit more!
202 Seems a bit strange, It might look better at 200. By my calcualations the effective pixel numbers around there work out

I change my screen density with lcd density changer no problems. I recently started using font changer which has the ability to change the density of your fonts. It all worked fine till recently. Now font changer gives me an error that the density parameters are missing and to contact my firmware provider. The dev hasn't responded to my email. I'm using cm7 nightly. Is this a issue with the Rom, app, or something I did? Thanks in advance.
I don't believe that option on font changer is compatible with miui and cm7 and miui share a lot of the same code which could be the problem. You could reverting density back to 240 and then trying that option on font changer. fyi you can change screen density opening in text editor in build prop and changing from 240 to whatever density you want (not under 160) to make sure it is not a problem with the app.

Worse case scenario just re-flash CM7 without wiping and you can get back your default densitys without losing data.
Well let me ask you, will editing build prop, which I know nothing about, change the density of the whole screen or can I just change the text. That's all I want to do. Changing font sizes in spare parts in cm7 doesn't get me the results I want.
Editing the build prop resolution will change everything. The spare parts font size option only pertains to that app itself.

Hey guys quick question. I just came off of MIUI and came back to Calkulin and I noticed a big difference in what I believe is the density. The phone looked a lot nicer on MIUI. What is the best way to change the density for this phone and what is the best setting? What programs or apps will get messed up as a result?
Look up "LCD Density Modder Pro" to manage screen density. I had issues with Market previously and my screen density was a non-standard 209. I personally use HDPI (240) as my density now with no issues.
240 is what comes stock on our phones..I'm currently running 200 and I love the smaller, neater look..going back to 240 makes it look like a kids toy to me..some apps won't look right..the dialer and calculator being some of them..I use exdialer and I really like it over stock

I've tried the LCD Resolution app on my ICS 4.0.4 Arc S and the layout of the menus etc were pretty messed up. do any of those apps work well on the Arc S? and if so which one and whats a good dpi setting to use to improve the visual experience?
Sometimes you'll have to experiment with numbers 1-9 on the dpi scale. Example I'm at 240dpi, in order for my stuff to look correct I need to set the rest of my dpi on a 3. So example, my usual dpi will be 163dpi. If I do anything other than 3 besides 240 mg screen and information will be messed up.
Edit : Certain launchers will also make a difference as they may be specified to work at the original dpi or be flexible to a new dpi.
Edit2 : Sometimes certain roms don't like dpi, a few sense and ics roms here on the Droid Incredible have issues with the dpi, if I got below 200, sense and ics roms cause certain things to stretch or stay the same dpi even though its a new dpi. Example, sense lock screen gets smaller and does not fit the screen so its off. I try to avoid using dpi on sense because of this and many other reasons, AOSP is a great place to use dpi.

Because using dpi messes the market up I use LCD Density Modded Pro. It allows you to get items from the market your android can't normally find.
