LCD Density app ? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have read about these apps for rooted phones that change the density to make the phone look like it has a higher resolution ?
Has anyone used that on this phone ? Is it any good ?
Which specific app would you recommended ? And what number to set it to ?

[APP] Change screen resolution ?

There is an app, called "LCD Resolution".
It lets rooted phones to change the resolution. It is free and works on ace.
Looks cool.. Post a comment if you used it.. and what setting is optimum.
It just changes the screen density. However, if you really are intent on using it, try 140 and your 2d performance will improve a little bit.
Muhaha from pocketnow
You can d this also manually by editting build.prop or with lcd density

Two screenshot collections. One before other after setting to 140 (also added more columns with ADW).
My language has long words, this helps to see full length words in settings menu.

I'm more worried that I wouldn't be able to type that well anymore, or tap the right buttons when they become smaller
Have been looking for an app like this though, thanks!
Well you can write then with your eyeball

have you tried make/recieve a call with a different lcd density? i guess your phone app will simply crash.
If there is a solution please, i'll be very glad to know about because my ace with a 140 density is much more appealing to the eye!
Great apk. And which smalest can change density 140 or smalest?

Just booted with 80 (940x640)
I'm wondering, since 800x480 game resolutions wont fit Galaxy Ace's screen, will changing the density to 800x480 from 480x320 make it fit? Haha just curious though
Samsung Galaxy Ace
Android 4.0.1 ICS
ROM : TheMythICS Lite Beta 2

Don't just say 'thanks', use d 'THANKS' button.

So it only changes the density, not the physical resolution of the screen, right?
Don't get it. Conventionally High Dpi = High resolution but it seems the opposite in this application.
Did you notice any loss of sharpness guys?
Using now 120, 110 status bar fc, 100 bootloop
If you do this keep it mind that it breaks the market, most things will say your device is incompatible, and lots of stuff will be missing.
At eny resolution i try i got crush of com.android.phone all other work good but i cant use phone for call :/ wen i got o try make call .. crush ;/
Any trik ??

LCD density with market fix!

To anyone who wants a higher LCD density on our beautiful screen but can't stand the market issues, I recently found this app on the market for only $3. It changes the density and edits the market to make it think the density is 240 so there are no compatibility issues . Definitely worth the money, so check it out if you want:

I personally use 200 because it looks nice but doesn't affect the grid size on my homescreen, which I like at 4x4.

Correct me if I am wrong as I am newer to this but could the same thing be accomplished with a build prop edit?

Yes, but the awesome thing that this app does differently is that it fixes the market compatibility issues that changing the density causes

What do you guys do about the stock dialer messing up if you change the density?

Not that I know of. For some reason all touchwiz type things don't play nice with raised density.

There's nothing you can really do but either get a dailer replacement on the market or just run and AOSP rom because they have no problems with higher density.

Other than for visual purposes, what is a benefit to have this. I have never used lcd app to change my density. I have used something similar on my vibrant but everything looked too small.

I can't think of anything really besides maybe that it lets you see more things at once on the screen in some situations (like in your contacts or browser). It doesn't really look too small (IMO) on this screen because it's so big lol.
Yeah. Fron what ive seen it seems to mess with other things, such as dialer being messed up and market issues. If i can avoid purchasing an app i will if i dont necessarily "need" it. Thank you for your reply.

220 was perfect for me. Made icons large and the text large so that my screens would look the same. Using exdialer since stock dialer didn't stretch. Perfect now with extra resolution.

The pixel density of this screen compared to it's size is exactly 206 (check gsmarena or do the math). Hence that is what I use for DPI. It really showcases the screen as it fits so damn much and everything is legible and sized right.
Ofc, on stock, this doesn't work good.

[Tutorial] TouchWiz SGS3 for Gio

Hi!
This is a tutorial for installing TouchWiz Launcher ported from SGS3.
First,this is easy to do and do not require special knowledge of Android OS.
Second,you will need an ICS ROM to do this! Do not try this on any other android ROM!
So,if we understand each other,let's begin...
Step 1.
Download and install any Density Changer (for example, LCD Density Modder will do)
Step 2.
Download TouchWiz port from here (it's the thread of author of the port,so I'm just helping you around with installing it on Gio) and put it on root of your SD card.
Step 3.
Open Density Changer (in our case - LCD Density Modder),and change the dpi value from standart 160 to 145.We will need this for our ported TouchWiz to look properly.Of course,you can experiment with this value,but I found that 145-150 is fine.
After setting up the value,tap Save and reboot.
Screen will look odd after booting up,don't worry,next step.
Step 4.
Reboot to recovery (CM9 by GalaxyICS Team includes this option),and flash the zip you downloaded from Step 2.
Phone will auto-reboot.
On start you will be asked what launcher to use, {Your_Launcher} or TouchWiz.I believe you'll make the right choice
If everything is cool,the homescreen of TouchWiz will appear.It is very smooth and good-looking for me
Known bug by me: you may need to reinstall some apps,cuz their icons do not appear in menu after TouchWiz install.Reinstalling an app fixes this.
Have a nice day!
Mate, I already did this in themes and apps....

oh sorry,haven't noticed that.Had to do all by myself except what you posted in R thread

edit : wait, 125 is incorrect value, all is messed up with 125 dpi. 145 is ok,correct it in your tutorial then)

Changing DPI on apps

Any way to do this on other roms ala ParanoidAndroid? I'd like to change the dpi for specific apps not the whole phone. Searched the market and came up with nothing. Didn't get much from a gsearch either.

Its in the build.prop.
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=
or if you dont wanna mess with system files, download LCD Density Modder from the market, and use that. you have to be rooted though.
EDIT: thats impossible to do it for specific apps, and pointless.. lol

Not pointless. Its one of the best features on the paranoidandroid port. For example the xda app is huge I'd like to make it a 200 dpi. But I want to keep apex at its default 240.

AFAIK... paranoidandroid is the only ROM able to do this. Even in then, there are still numerous errors, FCs with apps. To answer your OP, its impossible without paranoidandroid. Unless you wanna grab some source code and figure it out
