I've tried about half a dozen Jelly Bean roms and a rooted stock image but there's nothing out there that works with any LCD Density modders. I've been spoiled at 240 and cannot go back to anything else, does anyone know what the issue is? I'm assuming this is a Jelly Bean issue maybe?
I've been using "LCD Density Modder", "LCD Resolution (Root)" and "LCDDensity for Root" but they either don't work or will freeze when booting, they all work fine on ICS but none of them on JB, would love to switch to JB but I cannot stand the density - any help would be awesome!
thanks!
You could try this: [JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [1.9.4a, True HybridMode, Size & UI on Per App Basis].
It's a CM10 based ROM that allows you to scale down everything in Android (apps, widgets, notification menu, every other system component) to either Phone (obviously default on galaxy nexus), Phablet (half way between phone and tablet), and Tablet.
This would be almost the same effect of changing the pixel density, but in my opinion it's even better.

ok, so i'm not looking for a faux-tablet interface, although that was fun for a little bit, i'm really just looking for a way to change my dpi to 240.
Hi,
you can change (and it's work) lcd density with this application. It's work with Jelly Bean. Others are just outdated. Don't worry about the Chinese symbols @ the screens, it's runs on English.

what I do is I clear all application data for the PLAYstore before and after changing the density and everything will work fine. I think it's possible to skip clearing before the density change but I do it just out of OCD lol
Nothing hard editing the build.prop file, other apps are just doing the same.
Hey Guys
I am just wondering how to make stock applications working with Density set to STOCK 240.
I love the 240 density but Dialer/Dock Screen/Email/Stock Apps doesn't fits properly on screen.
Anyone know how can we fix it ? or we have to wait for a ROM who supports Multi DPI ?
Thanks In Advance.

For contacts you can use Go Contacts or RocketDial. I prefer RocketDial because it much powerfull and have many many option to configurate it. Both of them works excelent at all DPI, even at tablet DPI. S Note looks ok. Other apps from Samsung\Google I'm not using and deleted them. For email I prefer AquaMail, it's working on low DPI and have many options too, like on PC email clients.

Does anyone tried to bring N2 into 213dpi? Just curious if they just passed into Jelly Bean something like NEXUS 7 "half-tablet" UI. Can someone report what stops working on 213? I know apps might look bad, but as soon their will working there will be matter of time when somebody will just mod them. But what will FC?
I am still on N1 i know what does not work on 213 N1 ICS - but N2 will be here in about 2 weeks so already curious.

Anyone tried 213 or 160 ?
hi, I used rom tool box to changed dpi. then I fix the market permanently( still work when google play update) whith LCD Density Modder Pro. well.
with some hour to use this density. I can see some app don' fit nice(camera, phone, calculator, clock and multi window) all this application can be changed with some google play app, but the camera is really bad to lost it. ( Spen and all other thing work great with a new dpi)
then I try camera fx, very buggy with it. later camera didn't work. "echec appareil photo". I tried everything( factory reset,wipe all, format all) still failled to launch camera with stock and all other app.
Since I changed the note 2 in my store with an other.
I break the camera on the device but what is the reason????
density? camera fx? hardware problem?
Still want to change the dpi (so better) but I don't want to break the camera again and I am not really sure what is the probem...
need help

Maybe you can try to download an other Camera app.
already did. the camera is defenitly broken on the first galaxy note 2. And other camera app are bad compared to the stock.
does it possible to modded the stock camera app for other density? If yes, what need to change in the apk?
I love 240 dpi as well...but most stock apps looks so stuffed up.....now I have revert back to 320....can't believe I have to be stuck with such a high dpi setting

If i would know i'll do it myself and share with all here lol..bt i am too bad in programming.....
Fired From My FireDevice.
Arf. This would be on the top lisf of the dev.
Don't know if it's possible but an app "dpi per app" would be awesome.
Paid for this app 10 euro... no 20... maybe more. Ahah
Like in the paranoidandroid but on touchwiz. Maybe possible...
I hope.... too bad this 320 dpi. look like a screen for blind man.
what app did you use to change the density?
was just wondering what app you guys used to change the density. tried editing the build.prop to 240 and i got stuck on a bootloop. wanna see if i can manage the complaints about the built-in apps not adjusting and the camera crashing.

Tried 240 but the Samsung keyboard just isn't working!! How am I supposed to write with the S Pen if the Samsung keyboard doesn't work?? What's ur workaround for it?
Somebody help!!

Any info on it ? As Samsung is still thinking about the full documentation release , It seems PA will take ages to out...
I can confirm that neither 213 or 160 gives you full "half-tablet" mode for all apps. Camera looks messed up.
On 160 SystemUI crashes and the lockscreen look changed (time and date to the left instead of centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode but the settings menu does. Google Chrome has got tabs. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's "half-tableteted".
On 213 SystemUI does not crash. Lockscreen looks like default one (centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode, niether does the settings menu or Chrome. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's not "half-tableteted".
Conclusion, only way to get to "half-tablet" mode right now is to go 160 DPI and then everything's really small and SystemUI crashes :/
I am so pleased that I have upped the DPI to 250 using DPI Changer on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" T210 tablet, I can see the screen much better now and its a lot easier on my eyes - only thing is such a lot of the samsung stock apps are not working such as the camera, gallery, stock launcher, touch wiz (ive actually downloaded go launcher EX) and loads of other samsung stock apps dont work with just a message of " unfortunately ** has stopped"
However if i put DPI back to 160 DPI then everything works again - what is it with the samsung stock apps, why do they crash with 250DPI and is there any workarounds apart from using alternative apps? Thanks.
