[Q] DPI DHD

Ey!!
Maybe a silly question, but does somebody know how to change dpi on DHD?
I mean, my screen can handle 5 ''icons horizontally'' ,
how can I change the dpi to get for example 10 ''icons horizontally''.
Thanks in advance.

There's a thread here abouts for changing the DPI (although might only be if you have Cyanogen ROM) but the search I'm sure you'll do will bring it up.
Home Replacement apps like LauncherPro or ADWLauncher allow you to set number of icons but can be a bit hit or miss.

Thanks for your reply,
i got launcher pro, i made it 5icons horizontally en 4icons vertically.
if you make it more, the icons gets ugly, they dont fit normal, and some problems...
what it does, it makes the icons smaller but doesnt change the screens dpi i think.
i got stock rom.

The ugly icon issue is why I didn't bother changing it.
With a stock ROM, unless it's rooted I doubt you'll be able to change the DPI. I do recall someone mention an App but I memory serving it was for the Galaxy and tests failed on the DHD.

Both methods require root access (A rooted ROM).

true story, which makes mines NOT ROOTED xD
so i have to root it first..? no other solutions?

No you can't change your dpi without root.

LOW <240 LCD Density DPI themes...

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.

[Q] do any Density / resolution modifier app work?

I've tried the LCD Resolution app on my ICS 4.0.4 Arc S and the layout of the menus etc were pretty messed up. do any of those apps work well on the Arc S? and if so which one and whats a good dpi setting to use to improve the visual experience?

Sometimes you'll have to experiment with numbers 1-9 on the dpi scale. Example I'm at 240dpi, in order for my stuff to look correct I need to set the rest of my dpi on a 3. So example, my usual dpi will be 163dpi. If I do anything other than 3 besides 240 mg screen and information will be messed up.
Edit : Certain launchers will also make a difference as they may be specified to work at the original dpi or be flexible to a new dpi.
Edit2 : Sometimes certain roms don't like dpi, a few sense and ics roms here on the Droid Incredible have issues with the dpi, if I got below 200, sense and ics roms cause certain things to stretch or stay the same dpi even though its a new dpi. Example, sense lock screen gets smaller and does not fit the screen so its off. I try to avoid using dpi on sense because of this and many other reasons, AOSP is a great place to use dpi.

^ Which app did you use to adjust the dpi?

Because using dpi messes the market up I use LCD Density Modded Pro. It allows you to get items from the market your android can't normally find.

[Q] Slim Bean - ATT Galaxy SIII

I recently installed Slim Bean v 3.1 on my ATT Galaxy SIII. However is not letting me add icons to the bottom line of the home screen. It only allows the initial 5 icons.
ALso I though this was a DPI issue so I changed DPI. But no everything is all over the place. Is there any way to fix these issues?
Thanks!

DPI is supposed to be set to 320, is that what you set it too?

I set it to 320 and everything is huge. I'll have to wipe data and reinstall Slim bean. Do you know how to fix the icons issue?

320 is the size its supposed to be. After I set that all my icons were fine. I'm not using Slim anymore though.

Isn't that usually determined by the launcher settings? In Nova settings Desktop Grid can be adjusted. FYI - I use the stock 241 dpi with Nova.

Need help - FC with samsung keyboard on higher res

Hello:
I have been using the hybrid (saurom) rom for a while with 240 ppi resolution, in order to do this, I just patched the keyboard with the 240 dpi keyboard mod found in this forum.

Can anyone instruct me on how to use the Jedi rom with with 240 dpi?
Best,
