I been using 192 with some app on the market but it was too small on that density. Then i tried 240 and it was to big.
So, whats the best density to choose.
And after that market kept saying in the updates that its not compatible with my device..
Its the density has todo with that??
240 is the regular screen size I believe.

Are u sure it didn't change anything? It looks completely different for me. How did u switch density,app or build prob? I used build prob.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
you are better off keeping the density at 240. When you change it, the market will not let you download certain apps because it changes the screen resolution to a tablet type res. It is a bug with the market.

Go to 200. There's an app called font changer that also allows you to conveniently change the screen density, it's what I use.

I had my density at 215 for a while and last month i tried redownloading facebook and a few other apps and it said not compatible with device. It is quite annoying, google responded to users complaining about the issue and they basically said that we shouldnt be altering our phones. Oh well....

200 dpi works fine
I've been running my Tab at 200dpi for the last month, and so far, no problems at all.
Through a bit of experimenting, I've found that 40 dpi jumps usually work fine. So, 160 dpi, 200 dpi, 240 dpi and 280 dpi all work fine. Anything in between usually breaks some app or other.
I'm running at 200 as well. Most apps work fine, some games don't fill up the screen but that's generally the exception.
182 is max res for cam

Try changing ure density in build.prob rather then using software..
i run 180 with no issues.
Running 220 here, change via build.prop. Camera works fine.

I always edit build.prop to change the density, and with <182 the camera don't work.
Can you try the camera with 180, and if it work can you tell us what kernel/rom are you using?

Woops. I missed that last thread. Thanks.
So I recently got the LCD density changing aapplication from the market and love it.
I have always been a fan of larger screens but the hardware on the Nexus 1 (led scroll ball and light) keeps me grounded.
Anyway after using the app and moving it down to 220, I'm getting the same resolution overall as I did with the Atrix and love it.
Although the screen size isn't as big, I'm seeing more information than I do with my Captivate that has the same 480 by 800 resolution and a larger, 4 inch screen.
Just sharing my thoughts.

I've been using this app for some time now and I have no problems with apps so far.
I don't have any problems with applications; I don't play games on this phone so I can't comment on that though.

Never heard of this until just now. VERY VERY awesome.
What are the "optimal" settings you guys are using? I set mine to 220 and I did notice a difference (especially my home screen).
Sounds intersting! Any noticable impact on battery or memory?
You can definitely notice a difference, it kinda reminds me of the HD Sense roms. It also fixed some issues I was having with LauncherPro & some widgets when in portrait.

Ya it's too bad it's not the same application anymore. This application doesn't have 2 arrows coming out of the LCD icon. In addition, the screen density resets itself back after every reboot.

Set LCD density on boot?
Hi guys,
Do you know if there's a way to set the LCD density 'permanently' so that you don't have to reset it everytime you reboot?
Thanks in advance!
You can set it permanently by editing the build.pro. Change the ro.sf.lcd_desity line to whatever you like.
I recommend 180 for N1s

If you want to make your density setting your system default, just go into the setting. If you edit the build.prop, then you'll have to do that every time you flash a new rom. I'm sure most of us flash junkie's use titanium back, so that way when you restore your apps that setting will be saved also.

Coming from the epic touch forum. Switched to skyrocket yesterday. How many people adjust there screen density to a lower amount to make stuff smaller more like the galaxy nexus screens. Currently im at 160 and think it looks good. Just curious if anyone else is dropping it?

That's bs I use LCD density and I'm using 720p settings...I download any and everything no problem. Some apps won't display correctly but most do. I am using latest skyicecream rom and go launcher with all Widgets. Fixes little issues with displaying apps. Man I thought it just resized things to appear at different resolution but after trying YouTube videos like big buck bunny in HD at 720p density it is like night and day clarity...I mean you have to see to believe....download LCD density and watch big buck bunny normal then change density to 720p....go back to YouTube app and watch it again...your jaw will drop I promise....

That's very nice for you but there are a lot of people that can't install things from the market when changing their screen density... I had quite a few apps say my phone wasn't compatible while the density was changed and were fine after I changed my settings from the post I linked to...
I searched around and there was an old thread about this but the actual poll wasn't made. So here it is again, and please comment about the method that you used.
I've used the Stock tool in AOKP's ROM, but I'm experiencing Market Compatibility Issues so I may buy LCD Density Modder Pro.

I'm on AOKP and 180 worked fine on the dialer (the actual app crashes on an incoming call, but still it looked good @ 180). What should I google to find the edited market apk? Is it density specific (i.e Market w/ 240dpi spoof)? Sorry, I don't really know the nuances of my phone yet.

190 is mine also.
The little blue pull-down circle ring in SkyICS is off-centered now.
And RocketDial app has everything smaller, it didn't resize properly.
The only reason I'm doing 190 is to fit everything I want in one view on the Apex launcher bar.

I used ROM Toolbox to change the density then LCD Density Modder to Fix Market Compatibility
And I can send you a link to the phone fix... its just an apk that you need to copy to your /system/app folder then reboot.
Also no market issues at all.

That would be wonderful, I just brought that ***** down to 160 (trying out the market fix in Themes/Apps section) so a stable phone would be great.
Also on ROM Toolbox question, is it really as good as advertised? Replacing ROM manager, Tit Backup, Root Explorer, etc.

Honestly, I use Root Explorer for what it's used for and ROM Manager for what it's used for.
ROM Toolbox might do all those things just as well. But I never bothered to try using it for any of those.
I have used ROM-T for replacing boot animation (the selection isn't super) and some icons like 4G or Wireless in the pull down (again, selection isn't super).
And toyed with it for overclocking.
I stop using it for awhile but always seem to find something useful in it to use here and there.
This is what I used for the market fix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639213 .. can someone post the edited phone.apk? Thanks!

"Here's the difference between 240 and 200 for me."
Now that's just creepy - I have the EXACT same toggles in AOKP, but my swagger is ON
Is Rom Toolbox the best way to go for changing density? I using LCD Modder and set standard/boot to 190. Basically thought I had bricked for a few minutes, phone went fully unresponsive. Battery pull + power only showed Samsung logo followed by nothing, luckily booting into Recovery wasn't a problem.
EDIT: SkyICS
I use Rom toolbox. I am on SkyIce 4.2E and have no problems using 160 or 200. The only reason i stay at 200 instead of 160 is my eyesight. Im not blind, but i dont like straining either. Yes, the dialer screen at 160 is really small, but still plenty usable. I dont really get picky over the small stuff.
