WORKING EXCELLENT with G2X Gingerbread leak update.zip, you will be in love !!!! NO MORE BAGS at all !!!
I was very surprised ! When I saw that LG G2x working EXCELLENT with density "190" with out ANY COSMETIC problem !!!!
Example: My nexus S of cause working too with "190 Density" BUT I got a lot of problem ! BECAUSE "ROM" not intended" to work with higher resolution !!!!!!!... EXAMPLE I got bad LOCK SCREEN, some widgets sucks...etc.
but I remembered first review about LG Optimus 2x, It said that the phone has higher resolution, plus I saw the photo.)
So lets START !
U need Root Explorer !
1) open root explorer.
2) go to system
3) open "Build.prop" (long press on it>open in text Editor)
4) almost at the bottom u will SEE this: ro.sf.lcd_density=240
5) Change 240 on 190
6) Close and save.
7) Fix permissions. (better do it in "rom manager")
8) Restart your phone.
(If you will find any bag, u can easy return everything back, I found only 1 ! On Latitude Icons funny lol!.....)
Unfortunately you can not see all the "buzz" from Screen shots:

Looks weird. What are the advantages? Just that you can see more entries in a scrollable list like Gmail, settings, etc? Does the keyboard get smaller? Smaller keyboard is a no-go for me. I have big fingers.

Yup. Just makes everything smaller so you can view more on the screen at one time than you can by default.
Thanks for thread was curious how to do this outside of using the root tools app. Ended up with a density of 190, its all compact and tiny but the clock text is still visible.
Oooh thanks too do u using bloodEagle rom?

Please make it 190 !
Be aware some apps will no longer render full screen after changing this setting, you'll have to decide what you're willing to deal with if it happens or ask the dev of the app to do whatever it is with their app so it works with other random density.

no, you need to uncheck the compatibilty check box, and then reboot. that will make 95% of apps render correctly on the lower DPI.

I usually always change the density because of the font being too huge by default, but I recently found an app called Big Font in the market.
Try it out. It's awesome and no longer do I have to keep changing the LCD back just to download certain apps from the market.
Just thought I'd share with people .

As do I but I hate when I would have to change density to download apps in the market.
This is a very viable substitute for me that I'll probably always use from now on.
It also has a feature to exclude certain apps from having their font changed which is very useful.
I just edit my build.prop and than replace the default market with the modified market with the default dpi hardcoded into it. The market will think the screen size is default no matter what size you change it to. I just use root explorer.

spare parts has been changing fonts for years and is usually included in all roms. you also don't need to change density to download apps from market, just need modified market app.

With spare parts it's only the menu that changes, or it temporarily changes the system just for that reboot.

Supposed to "fix" you market for any DPI.
The goal is to be able to change small things in some apps.
For example, there is an app called SnapChat which allows you to send a picture for 3 seconds and then closes the picture. In this scenario, I would like to be able to edit the .apk file to allow to stay for 4 seconds. Would this kind of this be possible?
How so?
Um....you can do this within the app.....stock....

You can change alot of things in apps just by playing around with them. Using Apktool or another decompiling tool, you can change alot in the res/values folders Theres alot of stuff you can play around with in the various xml files

So you are saying I can't decompile or recompile apks on my phone? I have to use adb to push/pull and then use a program to decrypt the XML then I can change the values to what I want?

You're gonna have to adb push/pull unless you build your own ROM.

You can swap out images but you definitely can't change app settings like animations and such without the right tools and procedures.

OK. I don't want yo change animations just yet. I want to edit app icon colors widget colors. I pretty much want to theme everything.

use 7zip on your computer to swap out png's. change app's name from whatever.apk to whatever.zip then move it to your computer using 7zip open the archive. don't extract or unzip. navigate to res folder and open it. find the png files you want to change and insert your png files you want. make sure they are the correct size, in the correct format (png) and are named correctly. exactly as they are in the zip file. then close the zip transfer it back to your phone and rename back to whatever.apk i do suggest doing some more research before doing this. there are a lot of threads dedicated just for this. use the search engine at the top of the page. XDA provides it for this exact reason.
Is it just me or is the hotspot app icon missing from the apps tray? I did a factory reset and it still not there. I can start it from the settings menu but i would like a shortcut on the start screen at least. Any ideas?

1. Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it.
2. Click on settings.db
3. Click on system
4. Click on the search icon on top right
5. Type in the word notification in the Filter Value field and click ok
6. Once the results load up, tap on notification_panel_active_app_list (should be 3rd from the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit
7. In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot right after “Wifi”<-- just like that with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon. Once you add WiFiHotspot, click the save button.
8. Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone and verify

Just shrink the dpi settings from the 411 stock. Go to developer options, if you don't have it enable it by going to settings, about this phone and tapping the build number a few times.
Then developer options in the bottom of settings. In drawing options you'll find the number. Change lower to increase all sizes. Don't go too low. 380 maybe. Try it out
