Anyone using custom DPI on 3.1.4? What value? Do you face any problems with apps?
I use 440. You can use a app from the playstore, or better switch to Modded OOS
Using 460 no issues
420 is the best DPI.
Modded OOS is good with 420, but the stock, with that app that changes DPI, is a bit weird.
420 here, works like a charm

Hi,
I like using my DHD with lowered Density, but then I experience many Apps not compatible with my Density. Is there any other Density for the DHD that makes most Apps work?
TIA
I used 192, but changed recently to 200 and never had a problem with both.
Ok thx. It's like I have 5 updates available with 240 but only one with 190 or 200.
I have all of them available with 160 but my notification bar glitches in some strange way.
I experienced that if you have low density and then try to run apps or specially games, you'll get smaller resolutions in the game. I don't know if it's worth it? you can try installing an app from market which can make font smaller and give you that feeling..
It's not just the fonts. I can change that in CM. It's just, I like having more space on the homescreens and so on
Hey guys quick question. I just came off of MIUI and came back to Calkulin and I noticed a big difference in what I believe is the density. The phone looked a lot nicer on MIUI. What is the best way to change the density for this phone and what is the best setting? What programs or apps will get messed up as a result?
Look up "LCD Density Modder Pro" to manage screen density. I had issues with Market previously and my screen density was a non-standard 209. I personally use HDPI (240) as my density now with no issues.
240 is what comes stock on our phones..I'm currently running 200 and I love the smaller, neater look..going back to 240 makes it look like a kids toy to me..some apps won't look right..the dialer and calculator being some of them..I use exdialer and I really like it over stock

I've tried the LCD Resolution app on my ICS 4.0.4 Arc S and the layout of the menus etc were pretty messed up. do any of those apps work well on the Arc S? and if so which one and whats a good dpi setting to use to improve the visual experience?
Sometimes you'll have to experiment with numbers 1-9 on the dpi scale. Example I'm at 240dpi, in order for my stuff to look correct I need to set the rest of my dpi on a 3. So example, my usual dpi will be 163dpi. If I do anything other than 3 besides 240 mg screen and information will be messed up.
Edit : Certain launchers will also make a difference as they may be specified to work at the original dpi or be flexible to a new dpi.
Edit2 : Sometimes certain roms don't like dpi, a few sense and ics roms here on the Droid Incredible have issues with the dpi, if I got below 200, sense and ics roms cause certain things to stretch or stay the same dpi even though its a new dpi. Example, sense lock screen gets smaller and does not fit the screen so its off. I try to avoid using dpi on sense because of this and many other reasons, AOSP is a great place to use dpi.

Because using dpi messes the market up I use LCD Density Modded Pro. It allows you to get items from the market your android can't normally find.

Just got my Note 2 a week ago, I have tried like six different ROM's, won't name names, but they were all very good. We are lucky to have such good developers on our ATT Note 2.
But now I can't settle on which type of ROM I like, Touchwiz based, or CM10.1 AOSP based ? What is your opinion ?
I like the TW ROM's, for being stock, and having the awesome S-Pen Stylus features, and fantastic battery life, but I hate the stock TW Messaging app, and sock TW Dialer/Contacts, and they all seemed just a tad choppy, or little bit of tiny lag, once in awhile. i tried some of the mods for AOSP messaging, but they all seem to have an issue, not 100% ready for daily driving yet.
Now the CM10.1 ROM's were crazy fast, super smooth, but at the cost of battery life, being almost 1/3rd that of TW ROM's, not terrible battery life, no, just not as good as Touchwiz battery. But AOSP looks really good, and I love the group messaging and vanilla text app, it works perfectly. And the AOSP Dialer & Contacts are my favorite. But with CM10.1 no S-Pen widgets or good Stylus features. But I LOVE the group message and quick reply in CM10.1, which works 100% perfectly. Why didn't Samsung allow quick reply in JB Touchwiz, and no group messaging either ? WTF Samsung
What do you prefer and why ?
Ya I jump between AOKP and CM10.1 settled on CM10.1 for now. I just like the interface and being able to be in 240dpi. As for spen I use papyrus. does what I need. The ROM size is great between 130 Mb to 200 Mb depending on the ROM. Saves space for internal storage and all. To me AOKP and CM10.1 are nice, snappy and elegant. I like sophisticated simplicity and a dark theme. Love being rooted so I can do what I want with my phone. It's only getting better. Pulse I get to run Jellybean 4.2

Are you running stock CM10.1 Nightly ?
How do you set the DPI to 240 ?
You can edit your DPI in build.prop to 240 or run Jellybeer he has a great DPI changer with DPI groups.

Thanks, so for me a newb, how do I edit that ? Can I use Root Explorer to do that ?
And what is your opinion on 240 DPI for the Note 2 ? That seems like a popular size from what I read all over the Note forums. I am daring and just edited that file with text editor through Root Explorer. Let's see what happens after a reboot ? OMFG
UPDATE; yep that worked Thanks to Nova launcher I can custom the icon size @ 110% looks a little better at 240 DPI, and then in System - settings changed font size to large. Both those changes make 240 look really good to me. Does 240 effect performance at all ?

in 240 dpi you have more screen space to put it simply you can have 6 rows and 5 colums for your icons in the app drawer and the homescreen.
just change ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to 240
Only issue is that some apps like phone.apk put the search bar at the top enstead of the bottom that is why I use jellybeer I can put systumui in a 280dpi group and that solves the issue.
That's why I like CM10.1 and AOKP you have lots of options from developers. Your not tied down by what samsung wants you to use. You can make changes.
I actually really love the 280 DPI setting, things look a little smaller, which is good, but @ 240 DPI it changed too much.
is cool we can change the DPI so easily on CM101., just one setting Root Explorer, reboot, and all done, looks great. No issues whatsoever.
So i like to keep my screen dpi at a nice 420. Everything works fine except that the sense dialer is to big and covers contact names. Is there a way to fix this? I'm assuming I need to change the dpi of just this app, but I am unaware of any per app dpi mods for this phone.
I'm on leedroid if it matters
What app did you use to change the dpi? I'm on LeeDroid and used Texdroider to change the dpi down to 420 and my dialer is just fine.

Just straight build. Prop edit. Will try with the app
Update: its a bust, still to big. What dpi are you using?
Grab the xposed module "app settings", some of the settings it manages is per-app dpi, resolution, font scaling, the works. I use it to keep sense home, the themes app, and dialer all at stock 480
Yeah, I made a mistake. My Texdroider settings didn't stick at boot for some reason so I was back on the default 480dpi when I looked at my dialer. Set it to 420 and have the same issue that you do.

i forgot about xposed, but would really like to hold off on using it until it hits stable status (or at least auto updates with fixes)
