Im afraid what you are looking for is not yet possible the only way to make the font smaller would be to lower the density which will cause everything to shrink and become smaller. The only work around is to pick a font that looks small but you don't want that ...

You can edit LCD density in build.prop
Rom manager tool from starburst rom or download spare parts

I would like this photo edited, that I have attached. Id like the subject to be more in the center, say on the main home screen...as it stands now, a lot of the subject is hidden by the sense launcher and I would need my main screen to be the far left screen to enjoy this wallpaper.
If anyone is able to work some artistic magic to reveal more of the subject on the main(center) home screen and able to reveal more of the art that is hidden under the sense launcher and hidden off of the left side of the screen...it would be greatly appreciated. my experience w/photoshop is limited to image size changes which doesnt really help my cause.
thank you thank you
These are some I like....
Neat!
Not really looking to obtain more papers though, jus hoping to have this edited as described by a photoshop genius here on xda.

I'm opening this thread for have a place where shareideas to fix our Samsung apps for fit low DPi (high Resolution).
First, i'm not a developer so we need to cooperate alltogheter for win
I have a SGT European GSM, i don't know if those mods can be applicable to any CDMA device.
I fixed 2 apps for now:
Dialer, inside Contact.apk, mostly fixed only the dialpad, still need to fix Incoming/Outcoming calls
Calculator, fixed 100%
I have used this 2 great app :
[DPI] Dialer, MusicPlayer, Calc, FM, Camera + GUIDE +utility(kinda)
Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)
Inside these threads you will find how to use them.
What i modded:
Contact.apk-----> res/layout/dialer_app.xml
Calculator.apk---> res/layout/main.xml
Install them via Adb or rootexplorer.
This thread is meant for development, for people that wanna help for that purpose, do not put your request or whatever here.

Hello,
Those .apk works for all gsm rom ?
Thanks for your work
P.S Sorry my bad english :-(
They come from Alterbridge (Overcome)rom but they are stock apps Galaxy Tab, if Boyppc use that stock apps then they are good for you.
Make a backup of your old apps before, just to be sure.

I really dont mind it, you see the dialer like %3 of the overall time when using the tab
Just FYI, pixel density is not the same as dpi. A lower pixel density leads to an increase in dots per inch.

Sorry, I should've said "LCD Density". Decreasing that increases PPI and DPI - well, perceptually anyway, the LCD is still fixed at 1024x600. Given that the actual screen is 6.0" x 3.5" (7.0" diag) that means a native PPI/DPI of approx 170. I've no idea how LCD density relates to these values - can someone explain?
The wiki page nicely explains why I always feel like I can fit more "stuff" onto a Windows desktop than an OS X one though

I have looked into changing my tabs lcd and samaung says it will run best between
191 and 200. That we just need to find the best one for the tab. It is set at 240 stock. I have mine running at 195, and everything runs and shows up perfect. Looks like a new hd screen!

first of all.. thanks for the links.
i was trying to edit the email.apk to display properly in landscape mode but it is force closing whenever im switching to landscape mode. im trying to display the message list on left pane to adapt to extra height but it doesnot seem to work for some reason. the file i changed is.. Email.apk\res\layout-land\p1_message_list.xml
i think the line should read
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/msglist" android:background="#ffffffff" android:layout_width="258.0sp" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
but its not working or may be im doing it completely wrong. please help. i have so many other apps to fix too this is my first android hack.

i dont see any issue with skype pn 182dpi. what is the issue?
Did anyone get the Camera.apk to work with low densities? I just switched to 172 and I'm loving it. Everything looks much better.. except the Camera da FCs on startup.
Im using my galaxy note 4 in 460dpi and grren dialer button stretches. Will this fix the problem? Also how can i install this xml file
Sorry if this has already been posted before but I came across it and never heard about it before. It changes your screen size like you were changing the resolution on a monitor. I went from 240 default down to 200 and it seems like a perfect size without making everything too small

you can also change it from the build.prop...knowing how to edit it is a must for any android user imo

I really never knew about this. To me at least having the smaller scale size looks and feels better than stock. How come we dont see rom/theme releases with this mod?
I think for Developers personal preferences, also I'm not quite sure they could change the build.prop with a theme, but in the case of a Rom I believe that keeping it on a basic level works out in the best for the general population, but also allows those who are more prone to making changes on their own to go ahead and attempt it for themselves.
Thanks for the thread though man, I've been iffy about whether this app would work for the Epic, I truly appreciate it.
Yep build.prop is the way to go.
I don't think I could go back to stock density. 172 looks excellent.
dpesnt the dialer get offset to bottom left when changing the density or is that only on themed dialers?

Freakin killer app.....
Thanx man
Very cool mod!...I'm not sure I can go as low as 172, but even a minor adjustment to 200 really makes a wonderful difference...I especially like the overall effect to the launcher.
One drawback though...I'm going to have to retrain my muscle memory because of the slight change in location of various things.
It'll be interesting to see if there's any way to make a minor adjustment to the default dialer so it can properly scale...Also, it looks like I'm going to have to take a look at the Wired Tether app because it looks fairly odd.
.
Edit: I solved the wierd layout in Wired Tether app using appleflap's suggestion in this thread to turn off Compatibility Mode...However, I'm on SRF 1.2, so I did it through Settings-->Lockscreen Parts-->General.
.
OK...After a data wipe of the Market app, I just noticed this density change caused the Market to identify 21 of the 102 apps I currently have installed as not compatible...Bummer.

Sorry for not giving you the heads up.
With my density so low NOTHING works with the new ****ty market. I reverted back to the older market. Where everything is compatible.
What is the pixel density of the Evo 3D? (trying to mimic that if I can)
Also, does this app cause the New market to FC or something?
Hmmm, so does anyone know the step process to changing the density with my phone total crashing with fc? ?

No...The issue is with the version 3x market because there's a new compatibility check in place which references the LCD density value, so this change can cause previously installed apps to appear incompatible according the the new market removing them from your installed list

Are you using the stock TouchWiz launcher?...I've read it can be problematic when doing this mod.

Well, I'm on my way to fixing the compressed dialpad...I did the widths to see if the pngs would stretch without looking like a 1960's color TV.
I'm gonna finish this up later, but now it's time for a RedBull break.

i just wonder is it possible to someone make this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717079
Nope.
The reason: You need to input the highest DPI which will give you tablet mode, which is gotten by lowering the DPI.
You cannot lower our phone's DPI to that point.
And I really thing tablet apps on a 3.2" screen would just not work properly.
Succesfully got it booting (However i haven't followed that guide)
I'm testing it now.. I will share it if I don't find lots of bugs

Everything seems to work fine, except some dpi changes in framework-res (they cause bootloop, probably something is set wrong in pad.prop), SU works but sometimes keeps asking for su permissions.
I've attached a screenshot for you. It's not that bad, but with a larger screen would be a lot better
Edit: In the next days I will try to fix few things, then I will release it.. Maybe it doesn't have much sense to have tablet UI on a ldpi 3.2 inch screen, but that's why I ported it

I have seen people talking about changing the DPI on their phones?
What are the benefits?
Is it battery life? I think stock is 320 and some changes I have seen are under 200.
Thanks.
No battery benefits from doing it. It just makes the screen look different, and some people like that. Gotta be careful with it though because it can cause problems with downloads from play store.

Hey,
I change the DPI so i can play some tablet games on my phone for exemple. On the ROMs that include the per app dpi (like Paranoid Android) you can change the dpi of every app or just on one single app. I use it also for the mail Apps like Gmail. It looks better and feels better
Hope that helped you !

I'd changed it for browsing some layoutted strangly webs,finally I was getting dizzy before long,so I changed it back.
