Hi all,
After coming over from the EVO 3D, I found the HUGE fonts, etc on the SGS2 disconcerting and ugly. I longed for my small clear fonts and tight spacing on the EVO3D qHD screen.
So I just downloaded LCD Resolution, a free app from the Market and set the Resolution to 200. Wow, what a difference! It is now just like looking at my EVO 3D with a better screen.
Awesome.
P.S., If you are using LauncherPro which doesn't have the ability to resize icons or fonts as Go Launcher does you will find this especially helpful. I have found Go Launcher to be an FC fest on the SGS2.
The resolution changing doesn't size right with some stock apps so I stay away from it. If the font is to big or not to your liking just change font size and style...try a ics ROM it has the option to change the font size built into the ROM.

What rom are you running?
LCD Density Pro set to 200 causes my phone to freeze on boot with FC15
I used LCD Density Pro to fix market on Touchpad.
Switched my LCD Density to 200 using ROM Toolbox, no problems there on CM9.
I had used LCD Resolution...with my Thunderbolt and ET4G- until I started getting incompatibility to download apps from Google Play (Marketplace). So if you do experience that, you may have to uninstall the app.
Hi guys. Thanks for the responses.
A couple asnwers here regarding LCD Density Pro. Have no idea as my OP is regarding an app called LCD Resolution. I am running the latest EL29 modem. I've tried this on a number of the top roms and all worked fine.
The benefit of this is that it also makes my icons smaller which was the problem when using LP on this device.
I've now set mine to 190 because I like that even better. Sorry it doesn't work for some. Works perfectly for me.

Where is the font size option on tw ics roms? See the font style but I've only seen font size on CM9 roms.
I tried changing the font via rom toolbox on the newest fc15 but it only changed in apps, not the whole rom. Weird.

For anyone who is using changed LCD density and having issue with market download, check this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529227
It's always working fine for me for both GB and ICS.
For any questions, please let me know.
Is there a specific density that keeps the dialer from shifting or a fix?
I love 200 but the dialer is way off.
Thanks

Any reason I can't get LCD density changes to stick with Calks ICS 1.1 and Apex Launcher?

You have to use ROM toolbox to make it stick.

Where in ROM toolbox can you change your density?

Hey all
As anyone got a multi density play store? I'm running liquid ROM and I've changed the density to 180 but now I'm missing most of my apps?? I use LCD density modder pro but I don't think it supports jellybean

Market senses your resolution and determine if you need this or that. What is your goal for 180? Small phone mode?
Won't you use EOS rom and choose tablet mode to save some screen space.
Eventually they'll have the navigation bar height mods that make the navigation bar thinner. Its too fat in phone mode but tablet mode it feels right.

What he wants is a modded GSF.apk and Phonesky.app with a hard coded DPI value of 213 so changing your DPI won't affect market compatibility.

Hashcodes rom works really well on my device but all fonts are a bit too small and upper taskbar is about half of screen wide. I've tried to change dpi with DPI Changing and similar apps from Google Play but my Kindle got bootloop.
Is there some other way to change dpi without any app ?

Just curious on what DPI value caused the bootloop.....

Yea you have to be careful with some of thoes dpi changers from the market. If you can boot into recovery I suggest just restore a nandroid or reflash.
Had this happen to me before

Never had it bootloop on CM10/SGT7 ROM using many different DPI settings just to see what it could do

Cyanogenmod roms have dpi changing built in.
Just got my nexus all setup the way I want it and installed perfect keyboard pro. Wanted a ggood split keyboard, and did not wanna pay for the tab version of swift. Does anyone have a theme with black background and holo blue keys with black letters? I just cannot dial in the color right on the custom setup.

Check the rasbeanjelly thread.
I'm trying to change screen density on older version of MokeeOS from default 120 to 100 for a HVGA effect since some apps I use are compatible only with bigger screens but when I change the density in build.prop and reboot the device, systemui.apk keeps crashing.
Is there a way how to fix systemui (XML edit maybe?) to work with 100 DPI density?

I use an app for that. Try texdroider DPI. It is a free app and needs root but no special permissions.
