Anyone playing with the build.prop file to change the LCD density to take advantage of the SGS4g's 800x480 screen?
Yes, its somewhere in another thread. 220-225 is real nice but some apps don't scale right like camera360

Why do people change the pixel density on phones? never really understood? Is it for aesthetic purposes or dev purposes?
It mimics a display with a higher resolution in the aspect of outing more content on the display but it does nothing to the clarity of text. The text clarity is still crisper on a higher resolution display and if you ask me, raising the pixel density actually makes text more blurry.

Thanks, but i mean how can it mimic a higher resolution?
EDIT: here's a video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqs8j13Mk8k
What's the point of doing this?
More pixels on the screen means more content without changing the physical size of the LCD.

OOOOOOOH. Ok i think I gotcha. But it just makes everything smaller, not higher resolution right?

Interesting. I thought you prefer Sensation screen over G2x screen because it has higher density.

Because it actually has more pixels. The g2x doesn't, so you are just making it seem like it does.
You can't magically put more pixels on a screen that has a set resolution.
I always change my pixel density. I use 5 columns and 6 rows on my home screens. At the stock density widgets and icons overlap. I like 190 with my G2X, now overlapping. I used 167 LCD density on my HD2. The most common drawback is that it can make some apps look odd or make your keyboard small. 190 works fine though and I have only noticed a few games in which the menu screen was scaled oddly.

I do prefer the Sensations display over the G2X display because not only does it have a higher density but also a higher resolution so text appears clearer and crisper. That's exactly what I said in the post you quoted in more words or less.

Ha. 190 works best. I haven't had any problems except Wifi Calling force closes, but if you enable it before, it will continue to activate with wifi.
I use 9x10 rows/columns on my homescreen!

Damn, that's crazy...8x9!
I thought I was using a lot of rows on my phones. I do 6x7 in my G2X @190 and 7x8 on my Sensation @stock density.

I tried changing it once on my G1.
I did not like it.
I just like it the way it is just fine. On this phone.

can anyone give the speed test apk which has high res,like extracted apk from HD res phones
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium
The apk is the same, unless they release an HD version. The app willl automatically adjust itself to match the display size ane resolution of your phone.
If you take the apk with only hdpi and install on mdpi (your HTC Explorer), it would show only the corner of the app, as your phone would not have enough pixels to display all of it on the screen

LG optimus 3d how to increase ppi pixel density?
I used to have launcher what had huge ppi while now I'm using GB 2.3.5 + custom rom and screen feels small... can I manually somehow change ppi ?
PPI is short for Pixels Per Inch and it is a fixed value.
To find the PPI , the formula is ; √(800.800)+(480.480)÷4.3=216.966 PPI specifically for Optimus 3D.
800.800 means 800 square.
Simply put ; You can't change it unless you change the "LCD Panel" which is impractical thus probably not what you're asking.
Hope I Helped.
Cheers!

All you said is right but You did not understand him . He mean the LCD density . And of course he can't change it but can change it as it appear to apps (so when you overclock your CPU is it change it ??) You can change it from the "build.prop" file that is located in /system .
Or download a simple app from the play store . I recommended use "rom toolbox" open it then go to performance tap then choose build.prop editor .

Oh that...
I would advise against it because it is known to have conflicts with certain apps.
Also it made my icons really small...

I recently noticed that seemingly all of the images I apply as a wallpaper degrade in quality once they are applied. What I mean by this is the original image remains HD but the actual wallpaper degrades in quality. Does anyone else have this problem? I have tried some wallpaper apps, wallpaper wizardrii being one of them but they don't seem to have any effect on the quality. Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend using a very high resolution wallpaper and cropping it a little to make the dimensions 1 x 1.5 and then use the app called image2wall
I found this very useful to get good quality image.

That's the thing I have been using full high resolution pictures and still have this issue. I'll try the image2wall app and post back if it solves the problem or not, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Here i show the easy way to enable nova 3 full effects without using the navbar in the Galaxy s4
You need rooted device,
Resolution changer from playstore
Set screen resolution to 540x960 and dpi to 220 apply and enjoy
You will notice that the screen ist AS sharp AS before.
Now you will notice that games run smoother
Why is the grafics sharper at lower resolution?
It cant be sharper then fullhd or?

I don't think we should change resolution to have the games run at full speed as they should on such a high end device...
