How to change DPI in build.prop? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I am running cm10, I switched from carbon ROM because I was getting a lot of RRs, and I like cm, but I miss being able to change the pixel density in the settings. So how do I change it in build.prop? Or even better is there a kernel that would add it to the settings?
Thanks!

Look for ro. sf.lcd_density=240 and change it to whatever you want. Rom toolbox and other applications can change it as well. Most of the roms out now have it a build in options in settings to change it just have to dig for it sometimes.

Don't forget to reboot after you change it or it will not take effect.

Yea it worked great thanks! What other cool tweaks are there that I can change in the build.prop?

Hey man, I'd check out xposed framework mod, works on all roms and has per app dpi scaling features

LCD Resolution for ICS

Hey guys I'm running ICS 4.0.3 FC24.... LCD Res seems to not bee effective on this ROM. Any way around this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Did you try directly edit the build.prop or using any app to change the density?
I had no issues at all from any Roms by directly changing the build.prop or using rom toolbox.
Is there a tutorial on how to edit the build prop?

Try rebooting your phone. I was trying it out last night on the codename rom, and the changes would not take effect until I rebooted the phone.

I'm not sure what you mean...but if you can assist me in understanding what needs to be changed, I will gladly revise it immediately.
In this build I uploaded, I forgot to change the build.prop for alarms, notifications, and ringtones. So it will be silent unless you change them. You need to go to Settings > Sound. Sorry, will fix VERY SOON.

DPI change?

Hi, why cant we change the dpi on any rooted rom? Every time I change the phone freezes. I changed through root explorer and rom toolbox. Same thing.
Is there something Samsung or Google did in 4.1? Because I have been changing dpi on all the phones I had before with no problem.

I can change my dpi just fine on my rom. Dagr8's roms biggest selling point is dpi changing. So its gotta be something on your end.

Follow the link disposablehero1985 put in his op. This mod wont mess up the lockscreen but you will have to mess with build.prop slightly. Just to change dpi and change build characteristics to tablet. Its not so much as all in a zip for Sprint phones yet....

Have any of you locked in on the best settings for this mod? I would love to do this! I have a note 10.1 and a note 2 and love them more everyday because guys like you figure out things like these. The other cops at the pd were making fun of my really big phone the other day until I started showing them snote and multi Window capability to watch movies and take notes and then play music and all that. This mod would make them regret their iphone purchase.
Only thing they have that I wish we had is the whole group messaging, which I hear is coming in Android 4.2 ...
