I recently finally switched over to jelly bean from gingerbread. I used to use lcd modder pro to change my LCD density to 200 giving me the perfect screen resolution. I tried using it on JB and all it did was give me a soft brick making me reinstall everything. Is there something that works well with JB now to do the same thing? Also I would need to fix the problem with market incompability (LCD Modder fixed this inherently).
Thanks for any tips.

Yes, RTP sites a good job changing dpi. What you'll find, however cc is that some apps don't adjust properly, ie dialer, mail. For this I use the per app dpi changer. Great app found on here at XDA.

Installed the per app dpi changer and works well so far. Interesting little program. Thanks guys.

To anyone who wants a higher LCD density on our beautiful screen but can't stand the market issues, I recently found this app on the market for only $3. It changes the density and edits the market to make it think the density is 240 so there are no compatibility issues . Definitely worth the money, so check it out if you want:

I personally use 200 because it looks nice but doesn't affect the grid size on my homescreen, which I like at 4x4.

Correct me if I am wrong as I am newer to this but could the same thing be accomplished with a build prop edit?

Yes, but the awesome thing that this app does differently is that it fixes the market compatibility issues that changing the density causes

Not that I know of. For some reason all touchwiz type things don't play nice with raised density.

There's nothing you can really do but either get a dailer replacement on the market or just run and AOSP rom because they have no problems with higher density.

Other than for visual purposes, what is a benefit to have this. I have never used lcd app to change my density. I have used something similar on my vibrant but everything looked too small.

I can't think of anything really besides maybe that it lets you see more things at once on the screen in some situations (like in your contacts or browser). It doesn't really look too small (IMO) on this screen because it's so big lol.
Yeah. Fron what ive seen it seems to mess with other things, such as dialer being messed up and market issues. If i can avoid purchasing an app i will if i dont necessarily "need" it. Thank you for your reply.

220 was perfect for me. Made icons large and the text large so that my screens would look the same. Using exdialer since stock dialer didn't stretch. Perfect now with extra resolution.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The pixel density of this screen compared to it's size is exactly 206 (check gsmarena or do the math). Hence that is what I use for DPI. It really showcases the screen as it fits so damn much and everything is legible and sized right.
Ofc, on stock, this doesn't work good.

Simple fix, go back to 320 DPI.
Anytime you mess with DPI settings you are on your own.

Thats not very helpful, was it now...
My solution, don't use Landscape
Don't rotate your phone, problem solved.. i've been running 241 dpi for a while now.. runs perfect in portrait mode, only time i go landscape is for web surfing.
Thanks I solved it. Just disabled the search.

I'm not talking about messing with dpi. But a solution for the search. And your answer is not.

What's the benefit of running a 241dpi vs 240? Can't think of it making much of a difference, other than the market being fidgety with 241.

some launchers dont work to well aka adw launcher and youtube app can be annoying at times on 240 also when you go to 246 you no longer get the problem of contact pictures being super zoomed in when you click on them

If I remember correctly Music Player is borked in 240 and a few other apps.
Any way to do this on other roms ala ParanoidAndroid? I'd like to change the dpi for specific apps not the whole phone. Searched the market and came up with nothing. Didn't get much from a gsearch either.

Its in the build.prop.
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=
or if you dont wanna mess with system files, download LCD Density Modder from the market, and use that. you have to be rooted though.
EDIT: thats impossible to do it for specific apps, and pointless.. lol

Not pointless. Its one of the best features on the paranoidandroid port. For example the xda app is huge I'd like to make it a 200 dpi. But I want to keep apex at its default 240.

AFAIK... paranoidandroid is the only ROM able to do this. Even in then, there are still numerous errors, FCs with apps. To answer your OP, its impossible without paranoidandroid. Unless you wanna grab some source code and figure it out

Same problem here
I've got the same problem.
After restarting the screen keeps blank. You have to make a Full-Wipe.
I think it's a bug of CM10. Maybe in one of the next versions it will be fixed.

could be on ICS to let the touchwiz port work without losing the call feature
but it looks like a full wipe is needed as its not booting, the problem isn't the phone apk I think but just jellybean framework not able to handle density change on our gio's (yet)
