Any roms optimized for higher LCD density?

Higher LCD density makes the picture a lot nicer except it really bugs me that the dialer, calender and calculator don't scale well. Is there a ROM that helps with this?

U dont need a rom
All u need is a specialized theme

Any themes optimized for it?

Use a an app for those. I use Go dialer, easy calculator and don't use the calendar app. They render pretty well at 160 dpi.

That's what was doing but I'm pretty ocd so I can't do it anymore because when you're in a call and click on dialpad you still get the tiny dialer.

Go contacts works fine for me, set them as default contacts and dialer.

That's what I use now but I'd would like to use the default apps instead.

+1 for the standard apps
Currently on darky rom and been looking for them forever !!

Try replacing the pngs in the res foulders of the apps with higher res versions
But that could cause overlapping instead of what we want

Use a brighter and more stylish ROM, such as Starburst http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276320
Or do what is said above and get custom apps.

Starburst dosent play nice with lowered dpi, Midnight does a little better. Plus its very stable.

Samsung stock apps

Just flashed cm10 and loving it but missing a couple of apps that were on the stock Rom
Anyone have the apk for these apps or know where I can get them?
- rotating live wallpaper (where you can select your own photos)
- smart alarm with gradual wake-up
- battery percentage apk
I really miss those apps but otherwise love cm 10
Thanks!

I believe that most, if not all, Samsung Touchwiz apps have a different framework than that of AOSP so they're not compatible on AOKP/CM10 (other way around still works, you can use AOSP apps on any Sammy ROM). There are most likely similar apps to the ones you're currently searching on the Play Store.

They are Touchwiz specific apps made by Samsung.. not just missing from cm 10.. they wont work without TW.. there are some ROMs on here that blend aokp look/feel with TW, try one of those. On a side note, this is really a Q&A thread, Apps/themes section is for posting actual apps and themes.. not just asking about them. I know our forum is blended and not like that but it is supposwd to be.

Lower dpi?

I set my dpi on this phone to 240 and I LOVE it and the market still works fine so far! Just wondering how i can mod the dialer/camera to fit the 240 dpi. And also the stock keyboard dosent work but i dont care much about that i use swiftkey 3.

Shame the standard keyboard doesn't work, I really like it.
As to the dialer? hmm, probably need to get a replacement for that too, shame it doesn't scale either. Someone can probably hack the .apk to allow different dpi's perhaps?

What app did you use to change your density it would be cool to do that with this ginormous screen

Change the value for ro.sf.lcd_density in the build.prop. You can do this with apps like ROM Toolbox Pro.
I was running 240 as well, and loved it but the camera, dialer and Samsung keyboard issues bugged me enough to go back to 320.

I have mine set at 270 and everything, including dialer and camera works great.

That's the magic number? Excellent.

I love the 270 dpi but how do I or am I able to get the launcher to not be so high into the middle of the screen... Like the dots to show what page ur on is raised to the middle of the screen

use a different launcher. I use nova

So no suggestions for dialers or camera mods that fix the scaling issues. They are better at 270 but not perfect.

it's on the Sprint Note II forum but I flashed them and they all work well.

soapbox23, what rom are you using? I am on Jexi-X4 and it doesnt work...

Found this rom:

Works very well at 240 dpi, it has most of the system apps fixed that dont scale well. Need to flash keyboard zip in the QA page though for 240 dpi.

AOSP dialer.zip

Does anyone have a copy of the AOSP dialer. I tried to extract and install it into Wicked manually but no luck. I want it because I adjusted my LCD density and the Samsung dialer is off centered. I know with the AOSP dialer for some reason it is less affected by the density change.
Thanks in advance.

AOSP Dialer and Contacts

So I have managed to replace the TW MMS with AOSP just fine. I would like the AOSP Dialer and Contacts app if it is safe to install over the touchwiz ones. The Camera seems to work fine and MMS don't cause force closes for me.
Also if anyone has the Touchwiz ones in case I break something, I'd love those as well.

Nit sure if it will work but to back up your files just rename the contacts.apk and dialer.apk to contacts.apk.bak and dialer.apk.bak and then rename them back to original if you mess up. Also this is in the wrong forums as this is not an app or theme so should go in the qna section since it is more of a question.
