What is the Nexus S' Default reported pixel density? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the market I've been getting a lot of "device not compatible"s. Ive read that its because of a changed dpi value. Right now I'm on 235. Is that the Nexus S default?
I've tried Path on the market.

Best resolution setting

Anyone tried changing the resolution on the Infuse?
Which one you think is best?
I am trying 200 with no problenms and it is much clearer than the default 240. But the dialer is now little awkward.

I'm at 182, yea it makes the dialer small but its just a dialer

There is a thread for a multi dpi dialer and calculator in the infuse forums. Believe it's in the dev section. I used to run 190 and it looked great, but wasn't a standard dpi so some apps you couldn't download off the market.

I am using 200, and its really nice. But be warned, some apps in market say device is incompatible cos of this change.
Probably a stupid question but how do you change the resolution
Supercurio just built Voodoo Screen Tuning app, it's on the market, you should all check it out
A great dpi changer and will even stick after reboot is called nitrality. Under UI tweaks, dpi resolution, change and it'll boot up with new dpi
And with the market issue, all you need to do is go back to 280dpi go to market get what you want if unable from other dpi or to undated then revert back to whatever dpi you changed it too. Easy

Has nothing to do with dpi resolution. It just sharpens up the picture alittle

I use LCD Resolution... currently running at 220. I had it at 190 when running the MIUI launcher, but since I switched to GO Launcher EX I bumped it up.
But yes some apps in market say they are incompatible now... so I just find the .APK and put it on my phone and install it that way... seems to be working fine.

[Q] Adjust Font Size on Nexus 4G

I've searched threads, and across Google and most all point to the same result. I'm trying to shrink the font size on Gingerbread. I switched back from ICS due to the battery issues I was having and ICS let me adjust font size without problems.
Modifying the density with the root programs made my market screw up and throw me the error " This app is incompatible with your device". Changing density back fixed the issue. Is there another setting I can add to build.prop that can adjust font size? Has anyone had any luck changing font size without changing screen density?
Spare parts will let you change font size.

Thanks, The pro version or regular? Regular only seems to work on the spare parts screen and nothing else. I remember that app working for me when I had my epic, strange.
Not sure really. I only have used the one included with roms which I'd assume is not the pro version. Did you reboot after changing it? I haven't changed it in a while because I found the default font size was good enough for me. If that isn't working I'm not sure if there's any other app. Perhaps you could use rom toolbox to change fonts and get something closer to what you desire.

ADW Screen Realistate

So our device is 480x800, but with ADWex you obviously lose some space.
Does anyone know what the usable area is? So if I were to have a 10x10 grid, what would the dimensions of one cell be?
Devide 480 x 800 by 10 I guess.... Although it should not matter. I have used adw Ex @ 10x10 for a long time and never noticed real estate loss. If anything it gives more room.
It's not so much about what's lost, but I'm trying to figure out each cell size to aide in widget design. It's not simply dividing by ten, tried that, can't seem to figure out what it it's tho.

Not sure if this answers your question, but I reduced my pixel density to 210 (from the default 240) and have ADW set at 5x7.
The Sky ICS 4.2D-9 thread has info about using ROM Toolbox to change pixel density and then using LCD Modder Pro to fix the market so you still see all apps.

If you don't want to buy the LCD modder pro (I did ) there's a thread here where I guy did the exact thing that app does! Also he says the newest version of the market doesn't have compatibility issues!

Custom Screen Density

Has anyone set a custom screen density on their Nexus 5? If so how does it look? I think default on my Nexus 4 was 320 but I set it to 240 to have things a bit smaller and I plan to do the same with the Nexus 5.
Nexus 5 build.prop says 480.
Can be changed, works ok for the bulk of the system but I found it did weird things with the stock launcher (kept triggering the keyboard?! I assume it messed with touch zones for the searchbar or something).
M.
+1 would also like to know whos tested and what works.

[Q] What is the number of default dpi ?

I flashed SlimKat build from daothanhduy1996 for the Galaxy S 4G T959 but the rom set dpi to 182. After searching for an apps to change the dpi, I got one but I don't know the default dpi for this phone (this is my mom's phone).
I read the specs and find out that this phone has 4" screen display with 480 x 800 res (233 ppi) but I can't find the dpi!
Can anyone tell me the default dpi for this phone?
240.
