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.

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

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 ;/

THIS THREAD WAS PREVIOUSLY IN PORTING STAGE SO DONT MIND THE POST'S BELOW
hello there
I modded a transparent app drawer in our touchwiz.I personally tested it in stock ZCKPA and optimized the transition effects for smoother and faster UI.I've attached zip files for both odexed[stock],deodexed[custom rom].Flash them in recovery.Rom makers can use this as long as they mention my name.+1 if ya like it
Update1:added iphone style transition[odex only] tested and working in ZCKPA...values not yet optimized so you can consider this as a beta...
update2:*made the transitions 1x fast
*changed the folder icon to iphone folder style (see attachment)
+1 and download...i hate it when ppl don't appreciate my work
tried out all possible ways...edited xml's...man its damn hard to port...all i get is a FC...come on guys..help me out here

Simple fix, go back to 320 DPI.
Anytime you mess with DPI settings you are on your own.

My solution, don't use Landscape
Don't rotate your phone, problem solved.. i've been running 241 dpi for a while now.. runs perfect in portrait mode, only time i go landscape is for web surfing.
Thanks I solved it. Just disabled the search.

What's the benefit of running a 241dpi vs 240? Can't think of it making much of a difference, other than the market being fidgety with 241.

some launchers dont work to well aka adw launcher and youtube app can be annoying at times on 240 also when you go to 246 you no longer get the problem of contact pictures being super zoomed in when you click on them

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....

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.

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.
