You can just change the dpi yourself by changing it in the build.prop or downloading xposed installer and xposed settings app and changing the dpi of anything on your phone individually.

I pretty much know that, but then i don't have a modified tw launcher, and apps that work properly on a system modified like that...
That is why i asked for a whole rom...

Try a rom called black pitch something. I'm not sure the exact name but it was setup for 240/260dpi it's based on Sammy rom but shares some of the look from aosp.

Build.prop ?

Build.prop changes the dpi on the device but also breaks tw app compatibility...
Ok doesnt break but tw launcher looks awful on that dpi...

I am running Omega 12 with Simplistic Framework V3.5.1. I have changed my dpi to 220 & have modded my touchwiz launcher to:
8 dock (landscape aswell)
6x8 home & app draw (8x6 landscape)
3x5 widget preview (5x3 on landscape)
6x6 folder (9x4 landscape - might need changing) with title changed to middle.
Landscape only available if simplistic framework installed.
screenshots : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vegq00xkmeoon6e/XSPMfcg_Gk
Bad Stuff:
Splanner widgets not scalled properly but rest seem good.
Landscape homescreen only shows 6x5 - anything below is cut off & if you look at the download apps screenshot the txt at bottom is a little cut off but could be fixed sometime.
I have not fully tested the 9x4 folder, it may end up 9x9 as the fixed col option is set to 9.
Looks best @ 220 dpi for landscape or if you only want portrait looks great @ 240 dpi apart from the widget preview window is a little out.
If you want to try it or fix it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei8a6gjpxczlm7a/SecLauncher2.apk.mod
Samsung keyboard made by bala_gamer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkpu7g9iwvnvzm1/SamsungIME.apk.mod
To install copy the .mod file to system/app then select the .mod file and change permissions to rw-r-r, then rename the original seclauncher2.apk to seclauncher2.bak and rename seclauncher2.apk.mod to seclauncher2.apk. Do same with the keyboard file.
Then install the Xposed framework and Appsettings module to change dpi for: splanner, phone, internet, contacts, flashbarservice, clock, camera & calculator to 320dpi.
Change google play service & play store to 200dpi ( I lost apps until I set it to 200).
Thanx, i will try it

Any way to change the dpi on tw roms these days? Love tw but what a waste of a large screen!

Search xposed installer/apk.
Rootboxed
Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

And prevents you from installing most apps once changed from default.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning
So I've tried a few of the newer 4.2 ROMs and love the ability to change the system DPI...not just on a per app basis. What I'd like to do is change the DPI on touchwiz ROMs. Is this possible? I have exposed installed and see that I have the option to change the system ui DPI, but it does not seem to do anything.

All you need to do to change DPI on any ROM is edit the build.prop file. But be careful, many bad things can happen if you edit the wrong line.

If you do decide to go ahead with it, rom toolbox lite can do this sort of thing. There are other modders like dpi modder pro but it soft bricked one of my phones, so I'd stick wtih room toobox.
Xposed is working on my phone with stock rom. I had to reboot a few times to get system ui to take. The good thing about xposed to the other modules you can run like call recording and multi dpi playstore.

If you are on AOSP based rom, then get a rom that supports ParanoidAndroid, and change the keyboard dpi to 320
If you are on Samsung ROM, get AOSP4.2 Keyboard.. It does not get affected by dpi changes..

Xposed Framework and App Settings .. Get them from the forums and install them.. Installing the framework.. And you'll be able to change dpi of any app.. Don't use it on keyboard..
Sent from my GT-N7100
xposed not working for me, thats why ive mentioned at the op that i didnt wanted to use any framework app
keyboard/launcher dpi fix
If you figure out what the correct dpi for the keyboard and launcher are you can then set the dpi to that using the app settings module of the xposed framework.....you can fix the problem of the size by doing that
If u r rooted u can also set the DPI by manually changing it in build prop

U will need es file explorer or root explorer.....

Oh, so you are on stock?Stock launcher too?
I'm using xposed framework to mod dpi per app..
Basically ,with xposed framework you can change dpi to any app.
What i've found so far, you don't change lockscreen and stock launcher dpi.It will off-center them big time and it will look like a mess.
I'm used to have 7 icons on dock.with stock launcher i can get 6,but it's not even,so i'm using nova launcher at 240dpi.even system ui can be changed.try it, remember: do not change locksreen and stock launcher.

Search for Xposed framework mod. In there you can assign different DPI for any app, so set your system to 240 and set launcher to 320. Unless you just want more shortcuts on "desktops" then in Xposed there is a mod that allows 5x4 icons on desktop. Look here mods repository.
Thanks for the help but i found some other post which i must have missed the first time around i browsed through.
