I'd be worried about playstore issues or lag in certain apps if I changed it... have you experienced?

What is the default DPI for this phone?

320
If you want to change the DPI without any play store issues, you would want to stick with paranoid android or any of the combined PAC roms.

That's PPI. Pixels per inch. DPI is different, I'm 99% sure. That's why we can change the DPI and not the PPI.

Exactly what the guy above me said. Ppi is pixels per inch, which is hardware and you can never change that. DPI is dots per inch and is OS level and can be easily modified by changing your build.prop to some other number.

what is dpi & how do you change it???

Lol, meant LCD density. Makes your icons smaller, allowing to have more on your screen. If you don't know what out is, you didn't change it
I don't think changing the LCD density is gonna change it because it won't install at all

I did it. You can download app for this from market, resolution will be smaller or bigger not better, it's not worth.
Ok, thanks
