I prefer 160 but I'd suggest starting at 200 and then work your way down if you want.

Use rom toolbox, I've never had issues changing LCD density from there. Just click the performance tab at the top, then build.prop tweaks, then LCD density.
Edit: Actually you can change it under rom control settings since its AOKP. I think its under general UI settings.

okay that worked good thank you now maybe u could tell me whats the best rom out there for good battery life and performance

170 is the perfect dpi IMO. It doesn't have any notification layout problems which bugged me, google music is in phone layout and just seems to be the right one all around. Try it out let me know if you like it.

Frankenstein's Ego has phenomenal stand by life. I don't use my phone that much, mostly just some texts, emails, hour of music, a call here or there, and maybe up to 20 minutes of Angry Birds or Temple Run. On a low usage day I think I went to be with somewhere around 82% (7am-10pm).

The problem low dpi u run into errors in market. I went from 240 which is stock to 200 and some of the apps no longer became available. Market is detecting it as a perhaps tablet. When I moved it back it was available again so its a trade off

[Q] Screen Calibration

Just a quick question, my phones not rooted but before the 2.3.6 update wasn't there 2 options on the display setting to calibrate the screen? I only just see one now which is gyroscope calibration but I can't remember what the other one was. Was this option changed with the latest update?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
There was no screen calibration options as im running Jugg 3.7 and i remember stock had nothing like that. Maybe you dreamed your phone changed to an I9100?
No, there was 2 options in 2.3.5 stock. Maybe not juggs though but i dont remember that 2nd option though.. 2.3.6 only has 1 now..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
You don't need screen calibration. Its already calibrated. If you want to see uncalibrated go find epic 4G with a fresh ROM install. You'd have to go through terminal to fix it. If you didn't it would take 5 seconds for the screen to change!

It's in display settings. I'm on AOKP right now so I'm not quite remembering what its exact name is but it's in there.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't work. Rom Toolbox warns you that you can only change to the same type of charging icon when you try to use it. He wants to get rid of the % altogether and replace it with a solid battery icon.
Prove me wrong though. A lot of requests for this. Dunno why, I like it.
Might ask in the calk thread where most run the rom he probably has a zip to flash

Yeah I wanted to replace it with a solid icon, thanks

I wish I could like the same post multiple times. So many people ask me how my Epic runs so smooth even after days of uptime and constant use. I answer "with good settings, choosing good apps, and otherwise letting Android do what it's built to do and not changing things assuming I know better".
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 4.0.4
so r u saying keep letting it run like poo? because what it is doing is pissing off right now
Try Memory Booster lite or the built in task killer. Just don't keep killing system apps that are going to reload anyway because that will drain your battery. Android on the miniscule amount of memory the Epic has, does not always handle memory correctly and some apps are poorly written and do not release memory and resources.

As we all know every phone and every user and every configuration is different. Marcusant and Zeinzu both of you have had more than your share of your phones acting different than the majority. It would be more helpful to suggest how to help this guy than brag about how wonderful your phone is. Makes you guys sound like someone else we know. Some phones do not clear memory well and can use help.
OP use some of my suggestions here.

Is there a program like CPU Sleeper but for 4G DATA instead?

Hey,
Just installed CPU Sleeper to kill off my second core when the screen is off.
Is there another program that will kill data connection when the screen is off, and only turn it on when i turn on my screen?
Would save ALOT of battery I imagine!
In AOKP, there is an option to switch to 2G when the screen is off. This works well, but the only drawback in my opinion is that it is a little slow to return to 4G.

This does what aokp does but as a stand alone app. Read op instructors install the apk or flash the zip doesn't matter. When screen off, you can opt to go to 2g and with a ton of options like not down shift if network is being used (phone call, downloading a big app).
On top of that you can choose to re enable 4G with a notification message manually as well as automatically. as sometimes when you screen on your phone only to check text or gtalk, aokp would swap back to 4G immediately and back to 2G when the screen goes off, killing a lot of battery in the process actually.
This app is seriously badass.

Flash MiniTab rom. It's full note 10.1 rom, and it's really awesome!
Worked out? On paranoid it was easy to adjust dpi settings, phablet; tablet mode etc.. but never saw dpi settings on touchwiz so thats why just flashing stock seemed a good solution.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
If your phone is rooted, download es explorer, click on the favorites then go to root/system and open built.prop with e's editor and scroll down to
ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx
And change the xxx to default which is 320. Then exit and reboot.

Thanks for the replies, I tried an app from the playstore to change the dpi but the samsung keyboard just kept crashing every 5 seconds.
Is the above method better or will the same thing happen?
The Samsung keyboard will keep crashing until you set the DPI back to 320. I believe anything lower than 280 causes the Samsung keyboard to crash. You might have to install a new keyboard from the play store or something if you don't have one so you can actually edit the build.prop file.
Just a note, if you go about editing the DPI from the build.prop, the value is actually in there twice so you'll have to change both lines in order for it to work.
