There is app in market, or you can just mod build.prop file in /system. Default is 150 or 160.

I wanted to use the app, but how low can I set it, wich is still compatible with my gio. Because I dont want to set it to low or high and brick it..

in my opinion the best is a default option 150 & 160

There is an option for it in squadzone's cm7. When i had it i set it to 175, no brick. There is also an app but i haven't tested it

But, is difference visible? I mean, can you feel density is better?

Not much, i don't remember, i'm back on phiexz's

There is an app on google play called lcd resolution. It allows you to change dpi from 80 to 200 (i have not tested on over 180) it works and i greatly experience screen difference, it will cause problems with google play though...

u can change it without need any application.
edit build.prop (can be found on: /system/build.prop)
change the value of:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
reboot after changing them.
the default value it 160

Yup. The less value it is, the smaller the screen. (Zoomed out)
The bigger value it is, the bigger the screen. (Zoomed in)

And dont forget:
Use standard dpi, otherwise apps can crash
90,120,160,240 are values that work with every app

[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.

Lol
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
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
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
SCRIPT : SlaidMod v3 + TurboBoost v8.5
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 ??

Change dpi editing build.prop and make sure you reboot your phone completely... BTW 120 works for me perfectly..

Hybrid Bar in cm10?

hey guys
i'm using trip's cm10 rom (011) and i enjoy it really.
but i just want the hybrid bar from PA so bad
i dont want to have another dpi or tablet mode, just the hybrid bar.
is there a way i can include it?
Hmmmm. Try this: flash PA. After cusromizing accounts etc. get into app settings. Set it up to phone mode. Then, try to find interface/SystemUI app. Set the DPI to 220. Reboot and tell if it works.

Wont the DPI 220 break his market? (for some apps unsupported DPI)
i thought more about a flashable zip, because i like trips rom for his active kernel development.
in my opinion PAs hybrid bar is one of his biggest goddies in his rom, so it wouldnt be easy to get him to share it..

No, because PA sets the dpi per application not system-wide, so he's only changing the dpi that SystemUI displays in. The dpi set in build.prop isn't touched so the market works as normal.

DPI settings on GS3

So I just tried out SlimBean for the GS3 and it works great. It fixes some of the annoyances I was having with CM9/10.
SlimBean allows the user to change the DPI settings (assuming through the build.prop file). The default value makes everything very small and would be great if all my widgets were justified correctly.
Does anyone know what DPI setting I should use to have the stock look & feel/icon size? From what I can tell the default is 241...
Do it in steps of 2 what i mean first 243 dpi then 245 etc until you found the perfect dpi

I totally agree. You want to take it real slow when editing the DPI. I would make a backup first before even thinking about changing anything like that.
320 is a good one. You can go to developer settings and change it instead of using the build prop editor.
Did a nandroid backup and stepped through a few different DPI settings. Turns out 320 is what I was looking for.
Thanks for the help.

Fwiw, 320 is the default, from the factory setting

under which header is it? I don't see it there.
Easy fix(without messing with build.prop): Definitely nandroid backup first. Then download this app: TexDroider DPI.
Worked wonders for me just now. Everything looks great at 320 dpi. It was previously 220.

[Q] changing dpi in stock rom?

Does anyone try to change dpi to a lower value other than stock value (480)?
Thanks for your help..

Have changed it but am not on stock
Why dont you make a nandoid backup and try it. I am curious myself. Find ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop and try changing it to different values. Oh, and post some screenshots if you can
I tried that but then the Google Play goes haywire with compatibility issues and the home screen and app drawer do not cover up the whole screen :crying:
I am running 400 on stock
No issues with play
Some stock apps such as remote ,force closes

400 dpi works fine? I have tested 380 and found too small = [.
thx.

Optimum DPI

What do people think the optimum dpi is for this device? On the samsung galaxy s4 I often used 360 or 340 dpi.
240 max! Probably closer to 180 would be best imo

Touchwiz and SystemUI crashes when I tried 240. Currently using 350 with decent results. (If only the dialer scaled properly.)

Those are the DPI numbers for the Note 2 which will not work on this phone given the screen is very different.

Using 340 right now myself and and it works well. I don't use Buiild.prop to do it so I don't have problems with the dialer. I use Xposed to set it on a per app basis.
How do you change DPI?

Either by editing build.prop (this will cause scaling issues with touchwiz apps like the dialer) or by using app settings
You're going to need root access and the Xposed framework see here
Using App settings will allow you to change DPI on a per app basis.
320 is working well for me.
I will give 320 a try as well. I switched to a build prop edit for 340 and using closed to switch dialer, contacts, and gallery back to 480.

I really wish we could just recenter the dialer because I really can't stand how big it is, even at 440. Or even just make it scale to the right side instead of left lol.

It's easier to use App settings to control DPI on a per app basis.
