Hey all! Just updated to Blazer v3.6 and I love it! However, I love having my LCD density changed from 240 to 200. It makes the phone look amazing! But the problem with it is that TwLauncher doesn't scale properly, the vibration/sound toggle is messed up, and the dialer isn't scaled properly. If I use SPB Shell 3D and I believe anything other than Tw It scales properly.
I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there that would like to see Blazer with a Density 200 Variant and if we could get one made.
Thanks!

I've been using a lower LCD density on my Evo 4G for a while (via changing build.prop) and I've gotten really used to it. The stock density now seems ludicrously big to me and outright annoying. But I'm trying to mess around with some different ROMs and I'm noticing it isn't playing nicely with every ROM.
It works fine on CM7, but on some other ROMs (Salvage-Mod) a lower LCD density will cause many apps to have a shrinked viewport, rather than taking up the whole screen. Is there any specific fixes in CM7 that cause them to scale to the full view-area regardless of density? Or is there any other way I could get these apps to play nicely with my LCD density on other ROMs?
Open Spare Parts, uncheck Compatibility Mode, reboot.
That should take care of it.
Worked beautifully. Thanks.
Is there a way to change the LCD density on sense roms or will that cause more problems cause o have the same problem I go back and forth between sense roms and cm7 and the sense Rom is to big for and is some reason the little thing that sometimes switches me back to cm7. Also what is the density settings for cm7?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can change it on Sense ROMs, but the Sense widgets don't play nice with anything but the stock density...
I personally lowered it to 200 on Myn's Warm 2.2, and changed to LauncherPro with Beautiful widgets
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

does anyone know of any projects in place for this?
These seems to be the apps that need this the most:
Samsung email client with no security
samsung launcher and dialer and contacts.
Now when running on low dpi I have found alternatives for all of these to make it work with my 180 LCD Density DPI. however just curious if anyone knows of someone who is working on themes for low lcd density dpi?
Did you get the stock dialer to work under 180? I'm running 200 and looking for a fix. THe dialer doesnt fill the screen.

That's because it's scaling the dialer because it's themed (TW based roms) if your on a CM ROM then it looks normal and not shrunken to the top left corner.
Also makes the calculator and clock look the same way.
Don't think there is a fix for that mate. Go CM9.

So I was on Slim Bean AOSP ROM while I wated for the latest version of JB Domination theme. One thing I loved about that ROM was that the DPI was set to 256 by default and it was awesome.
I mean I got back to stock and it was at 320... like comeon its soooo huge.
So I would suggest you guys to try it out. Set the lcd density to 256 in build.prop and then used xposed framework to re-set samsung stock apps to 320 DPI. (Cam, Contacts and Calculator). You might need to freeze the Samsung Keyboard in Titanium Backup before you change DPI as it'll keep crashing.
Don't ask me how to do this, just a tip for those who know how to get around it.
I think this thread isn't so useful. Why? Cause every person has different methods of making their phone comfortable. Whether they like default view or the smaller fonts for those who have sharp eyes.
Hey!
I have changed the stock DPI value (640) to 540 by changing the value in build.prop, everything looks awesome apart from the quickcircle applications. I have managed to change the DPI of the clock widget to back to 640 DPI by manipulating com.lge.clock, so far so good. The call log and camera applications are still way off tho, as well as the animation light.
Does anybody know what apk's I need to change to fit the camera, call log and animation light in the quickcircle case?
Changing the dpi of com.android.keyguard back to stock fixes the animation light, sharing here since ive heard that other people have had troubles with it too. Still problems with call logs tho, cant figure that one out!
Changing the DPI to stock on 'SystemUI' fixes all of it apart from the call logs. Weird. Obviously your notification bar/etc will be at stock DPI also.
