Change DPI on FF18 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Has anyone been able to change the DPI on the new FF18 ota? Every app I have downloaded that can change the DPI has caused me to not be able to boot past the Samsung screen.

Anyone?

I have not tried on the ota yet, but i had a similar problem when I first flashed cm9 a6. I finally got it to boot with a custom dpi by wiping EVERYTHING several times, reflashing, and then using LCD Density Modder Pro (i had purchased this before because it can fix market or Google play compatibility issues easily).
Hope this helps ya, but like I said I don't have the ota flashed yet.

Rom toolbox is the way to go. Performance tab at the top > build.prop tweaks > LCD density.

LCD Resolution for ICS

Hey guys I'm running ICS 4.0.3 FC24.... LCD Res seems to not bee effective on this ROM. Any way around this?

Did you try directly edit the build.prop or using any app to change the density?
I had no issues at all from any Roms by directly changing the build.prop or using rom toolbox.
Is there a tutorial on how to edit the build prop?

Try rebooting your phone. I was trying it out last night on the codename rom, and the changes would not take effect until I rebooted the phone.

Ready to go to ics, but on boost mobile, worried about apn's

So yeah I got my epic touch on boost and I'm totally ready to flash my phone over to ics but I'm worried that after I do I wont be able to correct my apn settings, cause from what I've heard you can't change them after the update, so is there a way around this yet that anyone knows of ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I believe that's only if you flash an AOSP rom, so as long as you use a touchwiz based rom you'll be fine.

So you can just manually edit them ?

You can manually edit the apn by going using root explorer or similar and go to system>etc> and edit the apns-conf.xml to the correct settings.

DPI change?

Hi, why cant we change the dpi on any rooted rom? Every time I change the phone freezes. I changed through root explorer and rom toolbox. Same thing.
Is there something Samsung or Google did in 4.1? Because I have been changing dpi on all the phones I had before with no problem.

I can change my dpi just fine on my rom. Dagr8's roms biggest selling point is dpi changing. So its gotta be something on your end.

As soon as I nail down the best DPI for this I will post them all here
BTW I believe lock screen DPI is controlled by android system in exposed app settings

I messed around with this one:

but it messed up my lock screen too much. Would be interested in this if the lock screen issues could be over come.
Also, it would be nice not to have to go into the buildprop all the time to change things.

Follow the link disposablehero1985 put in his op. This mod wont mess up the lockscreen but you will have to mess with build.prop slightly. Just to change dpi and change build characteristics to tablet. Its not so much as all in a zip for Sprint phones yet....

Big thanks to you for the find! Ive been looking for this since I got my note2. Ive got it 95% together. Just swapping out app by app in between bkups til I have a full note rom based on mc2. Were you able to find a stable dialer that can handle different dpis?

Have any of you locked in on the best settings for this mod? I would love to do this! I have a note 10.1 and a note 2 and love them more everyday because guys like you figure out things like these. The other cops at the pd were making fun of my really big phone the other day until I started showing them snote and multi Window capability to watch movies and take notes and then play music and all that. This mod would make them regret their iphone purchase.
Only thing they have that I wish we had is the whole group messaging, which I hear is coming in Android 4.2 ...

How to change DPI in build.prop?

I am running cm10, I switched from carbon ROM because I was getting a lot of RRs, and I like cm, but I miss being able to change the pixel density in the settings. So how do I change it in build.prop? Or even better is there a kernel that would add it to the settings?
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Look for ro. sf.lcd_density=240 and change it to whatever you want. Rom toolbox and other applications can change it as well. Most of the roms out now have it a build in options in settings to change it just have to dig for it sometimes.

Don't forget to reboot after you change it or it will not take effect.
Yea it worked great thanks! What other cool tweaks are there that I can change in the build.prop?

Hey man, I'd check out xposed framework mod, works on all roms and has per app dpi scaling features
