is it possible to change the note 2's screen dpi down?
There are plenty of 240 dpi ROMs. I'm using X note now and it has multiple tablet/phablet dpis with floating multiwindows.

Or you could just change lcd_density in build.prop - but I'd recommend trying out a 240dpi touchwiz based ROM like X Note or Moon ROM. You could also download lcd ddensity changer from play store.
Be aware that if you change the density to 240dpi yourself you'll have to get 240dpi compatible versions of the Samsung keyboard, camera, dialer etc. You can find them in the themes and apps section.

If you use xposed and the app settings apk you can just change the dpi on a per app basis so the apps that only work at 320 can be left. It also gives you the option to select tablet mode on most apps too

Use apex or nova I think both allow up to like 7x7 lots of customization

If all he wants to do is add more slots, he should just use a 3rd party launcher instead of modding DPI and breaking Play Store downloads.
Adw launcher allows 10x10

That's misinformation. I have installed LCD Density Modder and have been running with dpi set for 241. My play store works normally as do all apps I have installed. It works and is easy. I'm on the latest build of AOKP.

I set my dpi on this phone to 240 and I LOVE it and the market still works fine so far! Just wondering how i can mod the dialer/camera to fit the 240 dpi. And also the stock keyboard dosent work but i dont care much about that i use swiftkey 3.
Shame the standard keyboard doesn't work, I really like it.
As to the dialer? hmm, probably need to get a replacement for that too, shame it doesn't scale either. Someone can probably hack the .apk to allow different dpi's perhaps?
What app did you use to change your density it would be cool to do that with this ginormous screen

Change the value for ro.sf.lcd_density in the build.prop. You can do this with apps like ROM Toolbox Pro.
I was running 240 as well, and loved it but the camera, dialer and Samsung keyboard issues bugged me enough to go back to 320.
I have mine set at 270 and everything, including dialer and camera works great.

That's the magic number? Excellent.
I love the 270 dpi but how do I or am I able to get the launcher to not be so high into the middle of the screen... Like the dots to show what page ur on is raised to the middle of the screen

use a different launcher. I use nova
So no suggestions for dialers or camera mods that fix the scaling issues. They are better at 270 but not perfect.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001143
it's on the Sprint Note II forum but I flashed them and they all work well.
soapbox23, what rom are you using? I am on Jexi-X4 and it doesnt work...
Found this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002960
Works very well at 240 dpi, it has most of the system apps fixed that dont scale well. Need to flash keyboard zip in the QA page though for 240 dpi.
I'm running Paranoid Android 3.0 on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and it seems more and more of the apps in the play store are saying that they are incompatible with my phone. First it was Hulu and Netflix. But now Swiftkey also says not compatible. And these are all apps I already have installed. There are many more too. But i can't list them all.
What is going on here.

It's because of the DPI's you have set.

How do you mean. How would DPIs affect the play store?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
A lot of apps are made for certain DPI'S. If you have a custom DPI a lot of apps will show incompatible. You can change the DPI to stock, Download the apps u want, Then switch your DPI back.

Hi.
Can someone plz give a working link here to a modified touchwiz launcher 240 dpi as i need to use it for snote page buddy in 240 dpi.
I have found a few modified on google but when installed they work as if they are 340 dpi
I got system at 240 dpi but poor samsung programming does not allow tw to change dpi and therefor looks really stupid and ugly.

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.

I'm running 240 dpi (stock is 320) the note 2 has a great screen but isn't utilised my 320 dpi.
To run in 240dpi mode I did this.
You must be rooted.
Download texdroider dpi from play store.
You also need exposed
Download app settings module from exposed.
Open app settings
Change the following
Calculator
camera
contacts
photo editor
radio
voice recorder
Gallery
Click the one you want to change
At the top of the screen slide the toggle switch to the right to activate it.
Enter 320 for the dpi
Form the drop down box for screen dp pick 800x1280
Click on save on the top right.
Do this for all apps in the list and for any other apps that fc or don't fit the screen in 240 dpi mode.
Download apex launcher and import your current launcher settings (so you keep all your folders / icons) (touchwiz launcher doesn't work in 240dpi but apex looks and acts the same)
Open texdroider and enter 240 for new dpi.
Hit apply then reboot phone.
Your phone is in 240 dpi mode.
You can now change the amount of icons you want on your home screen as well as other settings for apex launcher.
7 icons down and 6 across works best for me.
(the settings i changed in apex settings are
homescreen
portrait grid 7x6
icon size 110%
Dock settings
icon size 130%
Advanced settings
keep in memory ticked)
You can also download play store fixes for exposed to submit a normal density to google play store
I also have apex notifier and missed it for notifications
I think that's everything
