So guys..i know this is maybe something you all know, (as this module has also been on portal), but still if someone dont know/tried then i would recommend them this.
XposedGEL settings module..
Module which many of us always awaited for...
We can now tweak google experience launcher like hell(including icon size).
Best part is that it doesn't make icons blurr.... @ Sulaimanshariff @Parth2187 and many friends out there love using small dpi..(our dev @xenon92 provides by default 180 lets not forget , coz it looks cool..but Google experience launcher icons are blur kinda)
Many options are there..just try urself...just an informatory thread ..

first change ur dpi to 240(normal) from build then change icon size from this app...this will make all apps 240 dpi and this app 240 too but with small icons ).......btw..if u want all apps small, then use app settings and make only google app 240 dpi! and then use this app...all apps will be small (as in build prop), but google now will be 240 dpi due to app setting..this will make icons not blurr.........i have no blurr icons..using it!! try it...
make everything 240 dpi..and use this app...or use app setting to make google search 240 dpi and use this app(if u want others apps small too)..

320 is too big and 240 is too small.
And I read using anything other than those will cause market compatibility issues ..correct?

I use 280, retains all the phone layouts. 240 was too small and made a few apps turn into tablet mode, which is more worse than better.
To fix market incompatibilities, buy:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro
and apply the market fix, works great.
I feel quite comfortable with 246 (240 was causing some layout issues).
LCD Density Modder fix is great. I had some issues with previous releases, latest one fixed everything!

Do all your apps still show up in the market? Cause the market uses your density as part of the compatibility check to see what available for your phone.

You can't modify your settings in stock launcher.
I'd recommend using Nova Launcher to change this (you can find it in the Themes & Apps section) change the Columns & Rows to your liking.
You can do this with any other launchers as well. Stock launcher has very limited options, so you can't change Columns & Rows.
ADWLauncher works great too. More options than nova as if now.

To anyone who doesn't feel like buying an app to fix the Market, you might try this:
1. Set your DPI to something "normal" like 240 or 320.
2. Reboot.
3. Force close the Market app (if it's running) and clear its cache+data.
4. Using Titanium Backup, freeze the "Market Updater" application.
5. Set your DPI back to whatever you want.
6. Reboot.
7. Launch the Market.
I believe that will prevent the Market from seeing you have a non-standard DPI.
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.

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.

Hey if anyones curious you can run from 380 dpi on up. There arent any ill effects and it makes the ui real sharp looking.
If you drop to 320 it will FC home but will give ya the aosp lockscreen, i didnt mess with it or drop 320-380 but if you have luck or care to elaborate heres the place!

I tried that tutorial to the word, but it didn't seem to make the icons in the other launchers look any better, so I put it all back to stock.
You guys know what the deal is with multiple DPI related build.prop values on the device whats the purpose, and what is this devices actual DPI?

You have to reboot every time for the changes to take effect, after changing the line ro.sf.lcd.density from 480 to the value you desire you have to reboot if after you reboot if it still looks the same then I don't think build.prop was not mounted as writable. The default density value for the Optimus G pro is 480, I have mine set at 400 and this is how it looks like.

I know that at least with apex launcher, you can set the size of the icons within the settings. Maybe nova or other launchrs are the sameb

yes mine too, i used dpi 400 since rooted
dpi 400's fit to my eyes nicely better than 480 that too huge
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
