[Q] DPI DHD

Ey!!
Maybe a silly question, but does somebody know how to change dpi on DHD?
I mean, my screen can handle 5 ''icons horizontally'' ,
how can I change the dpi to get for example 10 ''icons horizontally''.
Thanks in advance.

There's a thread here abouts for changing the DPI (although might only be if you have Cyanogen ROM) but the search I'm sure you'll do will bring it up.
Home Replacement apps like LauncherPro or ADWLauncher allow you to set number of icons but can be a bit hit or miss.

Thanks for your reply,
i got launcher pro, i made it 5icons horizontally en 4icons vertically.
if you make it more, the icons gets ugly, they dont fit normal, and some problems...
what it does, it makes the icons smaller but doesnt change the screens dpi i think.
i got stock rom.

The ugly icon issue is why I didn't bother changing it.
With a stock ROM, unless it's rooted I doubt you'll be able to change the DPI. I do recall someone mention an App but I memory serving it was for the Galaxy and tests failed on the DHD.

you can either edit the build.prop in /system or buy lcd density changer from the market ......

Both methods require root access (A rooted ROM).

true story, which makes mines NOT ROOTED xD
so i have to root it first..? no other solutions?

No you can't change your dpi without root.

Tablet Mode DPI?

Hey all, at what DPI does tablet mode kick in? For the Note 1 it was 213.

have you tried changing your dpi to find out?

Yup I tried 213 messing around with a few different numbers but i'd like to get it to be not small text, barely enough to kick in navigation bar

Display. Font size. Money.

If you get it into tablet mode it will crash you system ui and you'll have to flash your backup. Touchwiz isn't made for tablet mode only cm and aokp. But if I'm wrong then post pics of your success and share your method. It should be 177 DPI

Apex has a phone/tablet ui mode if anyone is interested.
Apex settings > Homescreen > UI options

Its more than just the launcher its the whole system ui apk that need to be modified to handle tablet mode. I'm very familiar with this from experience! Unless something changed with touchwiz system ui.

You sir are right that system ui needs to be modified to handle it, i just wanted to be sure.
Good to know what the DPI is too for knowledge, but I tried 177 and system ui did not crash. I tried 160 and system ui does crash.
I am assuming that the value is between 160-177.

Probably 165 its a natural value for tablet mode

Speaking of Apex, anyone know why the phone draws an ugly black border around widgets and such during transitions? The Note 1 didnt do this!

So has anyone found a good way to enable tablet mode? Running Jedi 17 and been searching for an Xposed Module or something that would work...
Setting SystemUI.apk to 160 dpi w/ 800*1280 res in per-app dpi settings just makes it tiny

Found an Xposed module through this awesome xposed index thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541
Direct link to Tablet UI Xposed module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/
BUT! SystemUI force closes on me after trying to set norm 320dpi,160dpi, 160 for SystemUI only, then tried 213, 240 etc...also tried 800*1280 res
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to have a "Phablet" UI with CyanogenMod 10.1?

And by this I don't mean installing ParanoidAndroid (since there's lack of progress there and it doesn't have all the features).
Anyway, is there a way I could run a Nexus 7-like UI on my Note 2?
Cheers

Uhmmm... set the dpi to 213 or lower...?

install something like ROM TOOLBOX
then use it to alter your DPI in the build prop settings
i think 189 looks brilliant and gives the proper phablet look.

Done that, it does not give the phablet UI.
@terminal 7: thanks, that's the DPI I was after!

Dpi change ?

Hi,
I am using the hyperdrive rom and was wondering if it is possible to lower the dpi resolution so it all becomes a bit smaller.
I know there are many apps in playstore but they dont do a propper job.

Did you try Build prop Editor ? You have to play with ro.sf.lcd_density (Increase the value to increase the icon's size).
