Could someone please tell me what the stock pixel density is? I'm on CM7 and I went to update my Google Maps for this "big" update just to be told my device is not compatible. I read that some other users have this problem and that the market detects the pixel density to show available apps or something. i believe i changed mine at one point by maybe 20 or so, so if someone would be kind enough to post the stock density, that'd be pretty cool.
thanks.
This is from bigphonefight.com:
"The DROID Incredible 2 features a 4.0-inch touch-sensitive S-LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The screen has 384000 pixels in total, giving it a rating of 233.25 pixels per inch."
thanks, but what should I put in the text field? Is there any way you could download font changer from the market, hit menu click density and tell me what it is?

I am running MIUI and get 240 in font changer.
I assume it is the same regardless of what ROM, right?

Thanks, I guess that isn't the problem though. Google Maps still won't appear to be in the market.

All I ever wanted was at least Sense 3.0 stock ROM with bigger fonts. Am I truly asking that much?

I'm not sure but I think you can change font sizes with lcd density apps from the market

Try Blade Buddy - I read that some guy changed the size with this app on his HTC.

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.

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

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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.

You must be running a didn't launder? Well i tried to change the 320 to 240 it was in 2 places so I changed both but
1 the keyboard kept coming up saying it was closing
2 the stupid dots that show what home screen you are on was way up in the middle of the screen. .
Ok so I changed it to 280 and the keyboard works albeit small. . But the amount of screen for home screen is the same cause those dumb dots are still in the same spot. ..Any way to change roar or get rid of them ?
Any thoughts

Yea im using go launch every launcher excpt TW works with. No one could ever get TW to work with lower dpi lol. And if u get GO you can set the grid to 6x7 and have soooooo much room. And yea sorry forgot to mention change the keyboard b4 chaning dpi or you will get force closes i use swiftkey anyways so that didnt effect me.
I'm using 240 and Google Talk crashes every time I get a message in the background. I'll try 280 and see if my luck changes...

I believe it was 320. I got mine set to 240 now Do u think you can mod the stock dialer and camera app to fit that!

Can you explain why you lowered the dpi and how you did it. . One would think one would want more dpi not less?

The lower dpi = higher "resolution" gives you more screen space smaller icons looks way better then the stock huge icons.
You should try it.
I did it with rom toolbox under screen density.
