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.

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

I am bit of a junkie when it comes to screen calibration and have spent most of my days researching about the technology on that part, so i am in the need for something to help me calibrate the screen on the sensation as there are a few things that are inaccurate which i would like to correct.
Is there any app or mod that i can do to adjust this on the sensation.... any help would be appreciated.
It's called screen adjuster in the market
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Does this app run in the background to modify the screen or does it physically change it perminantly??
Still no gamma adjustment which is probably the most important feature needed.
I would really want this to.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I think it runs in the background
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Yes it does run in the background but does no offer values that are required to fully calibrate the display properly, contrast and white balance values are not quite enough... Need to source a type of hack to modify values manually or mod etc etc.
I love to have this app as well because my screen shows it's over saturated. To much red

That would be great to have ability to use ICC profiles with Sensation and generate them with color calibration software and iOne.

Is there any way to change these values in the kernel directly? Using this app slows down my Gallery for example. If I switch between different images by sliding them I can clearly see a delay on the screen.
I need this app too!
Do you think with an app like de desidered one would have also better black?

Better black is a hard one to achieve as the deepness of the black is mainly down to the screen, led screens black are a lot better compared to the LCD screens in sensations. My girlfriend has a galaxy s2 and I envy the LED screen on it, the colours compared to the sensations LCD screen are amazing.

Hey, since upgrading I've noticed that some apps font and such is blown up and not crisp anymore. Also the screen in general seems like its dropped a bit in resolution, almost like changing the resolution on a computer. Is this a known issue or is it just my mind paying tricks on me?
The rom is great by the way, thanks!

I feel that anything on the default LCD density of 240 is blown up. i always drop LCD density to 210 or 220.
Some apps are not compatible with ICS because its still a beta version

When I'm looking at the screen before I take a picture its very vibrant and bright and the quality is amazing but when I capture it then view it there allways very dim, anyone have a solution?

In most cases, you have to learn how to use the camera. It's not a SLR system. What you see on the screen is not necessarily what you're going to capture. All the settings, and there are many of them... it's a pretty capable camera, in the camera menu are there for a reason. Leaving everything on "auto" is generally not the best way to approach photography. Experience is the best teacher. Learn what ISO, Exposure, White balance, Contrast, Scene mode, and two dozen other parameters do. It will help you get a great shot when you need one.
are the pictures affected? i'd assume not if everything on auto setting as mentioned above.
I played with the settings still dim pictures

Try increasing the brightness of the display. It should make the pictures look alot better.

I believe you may have misread the question. I think he is speaking of the brightness of the actual image, not it appearance in the gallery. The images are still dark when dumped to a computer. I believe the poster above has it correct to alter settings.
There is information in various reviews online that state that the camera functions well at either high or really low levels of light. If there is SOME light you're out of luck. I find this to be true with mine

The poster did not state that. He simply said it was dim when viewing it. I honestly had the same problem. Taking a picture and seeing how nice it looked but then when I went to look at it in the gallery it was dim. So I tried turning the brightness of the display up alil bit, it looked just as bright when I initially took the picture.

Oh I see. That picture is actually good tho. Here is one I took last weekend. The room was really really bright. The camera sensor on our phones need a decent amount of light for the picture to come out bright.

I only experience the issue when viewing in the Gallery, or immediately after taking the shot. When I turn auto-brightness off" they look exactly the same as they did on screen. As for dumping to the computer, I am not 100% but all of the ones uploaded to FB have been fine.
Yeah they ain't too great in dark rooms. But those pics look great. I compared some of my pics with my wife's 4s. She had to take the same pic several times to get it to show the detail mine showed with 1 shot

I have been having some issues with the autofocus either focusing too much or not enough as well as some of the photos not coming out as good as they should be. I read somewhere that a lot of that could be fixed by adjusting the settings. So what settings do you guys have your HTC One X camera settings set to for best all around pic n shoot?
I turn off face detection. Seems more responsive that way.
Everything else I leave the same
^ this
but I also have sharpness set to -1.
saturation -1 seems to give more realistic colors on mine
I knock down exposure to -1 when outside, seems to overexpose a little in hard light.

I have noticed that too. In bright sunlight, sometimes faces get blown out (overexposed).
