HTC Sensation eat your heart out.
This app lowers your screen density allowing more content to be displayed on your screen. Whole web pages seen with no scrolling. Most of the settings menu viewable with no scrolling what so ever.
Step 1: Install apk
Step 2: Select menu > settings then check save density as system density.
Step 3: Enter a value of 200 in the New Density Value textbox. (Working well on 200 with ADW Launcher EX not tested twLauncher adjust to suit).
Step: 4 Select save then reboot.
This works beautifully on the SGS2.
Download: Seems LCD density changer is the only one on the market that can do this permanently.
Is this just a density changer? Why do we need this app when there are others... or we can just edit build.prop manually?

yeah, sounds like it:
"This app lowers your screen density allowing more content to be displayed on your screen."
Build.prop methinks
Yes it is but built prop edits dont stick using file explorers text editor etc only would change to 220 max. This is way more easier. HTC should use this save performane haha.
Yeah, but don't post a paid app to do it please. I took the link out. It's £0.64 on market.
Ok free app link replaced
Is the app changed? Changes removed on reboot with free app?
Yeah removed by mods but works excellent with AWD.Launcher EX.
Useless?
This shouldn't be ment to be rude... ^^

The default Phone application on Galaxy S II didn't like this at all though. But that's only the numpad / keypad that didn't scale up to the density of 200.
With this apk, even the TouchWizz HOME is resized and feels ridiculous with 200
This thread should be replaced in the Themes and apps forum
Horrible thread. Can you DE-Thank someone?
Build.prop DPI editing has been around for at least a year now.
I agree the title of this thread is very misleading and will make people believe they can actually make the resolution higher on their phones.
Also... the change in density amplifies the poor colour gradient we are seeing in most apps so even more reason not to do this until some devs solve that problem.

Wow....some people need an app to do this?and a paid one at that?
If you want to change screen density, why not just edit the build.prop?
At least it fixes the CRT effect (for me), changed density to 240 from 240 , no more glitches in CRT effect
Fake QHD, lol

No typo, it really works, don't know why
Now that we have root is it going to be worth messing with this phone's pixel density? I would like the icons to be a little smaller and sharper but if changing the pixel density is going to have negative cascading effects with the phone I am pretty happy with where my phone is now with running Launcher Pro.
If it is going to make sense to mess with the density what application would I need to make those changes?
Thanks again!
it will always have some side effect specially on games and the Dialer app
Calendar gets all messed up too. Seems like the videos in the market disappears

Density changes will make changes in what the market shows you and how the market looks.
I tried the LCD Density app from the Market, setting it to 200. The icons/screen looks better. Will this damage anything by running it? I don't seem to notice any immediate changes in Market, etc.
I tried 200,220,230 all look like ****. Went back to 240 and used spare parts to reduce font size instead. Any phone I ever used chaning the screen density always looked like crap.

210 on LCD Resolution works the best for me. The launcher and notification bar and icons don't suffer from any blur.

Same here...I mean, I dont think they looked bad, I just cant stand knowing the dialer looked like it did, and a couple apps got super small and the market was missing the videos link I think it was, so I just said screw it and went back to 240
What app are yall using?

did you guys who are experiencing issues turn off compatibility mode?
i set mine at 200 using lcd resolution. the stock launcher look weird so i downloaded go launcher ex and it looks really good! i have my home screen grid set at 5x5 and it looks good. the dialer looks weird, and i just noticed the compatibility issues in the market people have been mentioning.
Turned off compatibility mode in spare parts and still have issues in the market

+1 in spare parts it will solve most of the issues. Running at 194 using LCD resolution.
I've tried LCD Resolution and after reboot, my screen looks like that. I've installed Spare Parts and unticked compatibility mode and that still happens. Does anyone know why this is happening?
dpi
Isn't there an app that let's you almost emulate changing the dpi on android? Like it shrinks everything or makes it bigger?

your always gonna get that with the stock launcher its not going to scale right you'd have to mess with the apk to get it scale right with a different density.

Thanks. I thought something was severely wrong with my phone when I used it.
Yes, there is an app in the market called LCD Resolution. However, it requires root.
I had the same problem... never found a solution.
There is an app in the market called LCD density (or LCD resolution) which actually works. But I didn't like how the dialer was resized and shifted to the left. Also it doesn't work with all apps.

I just downloaded the Swiftkey 3 Beta and it doesn't work properly with 240 dpi.
I want to know if anyone can patch the apk for 240dpi or if theres another way to get this working.
the galaxy nexus has 320 dpi not 240
I set it to 240 because it just looks better. That's why I want it to be patched (I'm sure I'm not the only one).
im in agreement with this. i tried going back to 320 but DAMN everything is huge.
It's working well for me at 241 dpi, if that's an option for you

what doesnt work at 240? Mine seems to look fine at 240
Don't forget you can change the key height in settings

I was having issues with dpi 240, do I went ahead and switched to 241 and it is working well. Tried to adjust the height in the options, but it still came up as a garbled mess.

Are you using lcd density or the one built on the rom
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Works fine for me. I adjusted the keyboard height to large in it's settings menu. I'm running AOKP 30 at 240 dpi, changed the dpi using density modder app. Strange that it's not working for you.
Try using the tablet beta? That might work. The only difference should be the additional layout. I haven't installed it on my transformer yet but that should be it.
If I can get to a computer I can upload the apk for everyone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
The first time I launched it, it said something like "wrong version, try tablet version bla bla", but I set the key height to large and I am having absolutely no problems with it. I manually changed the LCD density in the build.prop to 240dpi, if that matters.
How do I downloaded the swiftkey 3 Beta? Thanks

Google for Swiftkey VIP forum. You have to download it from there..
Hi all.
I noticed that some roms use different density settings then others.
Is it "safe" to keep changing density or is it something you can't change to often ?

I like to change up my LCD density pretty frequently because once I do, some apps become incompatible and are not able to be updated unless I revert back to 320 LCD screen density and clear market data. Often I find myself switching back but I think I'm just going to stay at 320 to save the hassle with incompatibility issues. As for your question, I'm pretty sure changing density often won't have any harmful effects on the screen.

Hey there!
So I installed MIUI now which is quiet beautiful. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut.... I'm coming from another ROM and used to have my device for a year @ 180dpi - 220dpi. Now... this is just... ugly. The default is set to !!!320DPI!!!. Everything is so big, my grandma could easily hit every icon without her glasses.
So I tried to change the dpi to 220 using Rom toolbox, the only problem: stock keyboard
I really really like the samsung stock keyboard and now that it is back because of MIUI I don't wanna really miss it. I use the numbers really often and it's handy to have a number line just at the top.
>> Is it possible to have a Samsung Stock Keyboard working at 220DPI without any blank gaps and force closes?
Thanks alot!
Use the 240dpi one from bala_gamers thread.

Try this for keyboard http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=&d=1366489557 also when you change the DPI in Miui you will notice that the frame layout of the home screen and settings menu are out of place.

Hey buddy , how were you able to bring down the screen dpi to 180 - 220. I am currently using cm 10.1.3 on the note 2 n7100 but i am unable to change the screen dpi. the entire rom looks ugly on the 320 dpi. Just a waste of screen space. Could you help me with the steps you took to reduce the screen dpi from 320 to say 240 or lesser...?
