I'm coming from the xperia 1 (for which i was a chef for some time) and just recently bought the sensation xe, so i'm pretty much a noob in android.
My question is .... is it possible to lower the resolution or pixel density to boost performance on the Sensation xe ?
sorry if this was asked before but i didn't find anth similar around
Yea use a dpi changer from market or prop modder app.
Or you can edit the build.prop file with root explorer or such.....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And does it really improve performance ?
I've got problem with DPI Changer. I've set DPI to 160 and rebooted phone and now Sense is FCing all the time and I can't change DPI to default value. Is there any possible to change DPI to default value? I'cant turn on any application - there is no working launcher.
Rom is Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 (ICS 4.0.3)
easy, edit build.prop in /system
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
240 is default
But how I can get the access to build.prop? I can't open file manager. Can I change it from my PC by connecting phone with the cable?
use droid explorer, boot into recovery-->mount /system-->start droid explorer-->edit file
I think I'm doing something wrong - when I edit file in droid explorer, every time I save changes, close ando open again, the value is again 160.
copy first on desktop, make all changes and delete the file on smartphone and copy from desktop to smartphone! reboot
It's working now. Thanks, You're great
you're welcome
i load lcd density modder and i setup 320dpi and my phone reboot but it is not open. How to correct it. Could you pls upload orginal file. The name is /system/build.prop
Phone : Galaxy s2 ics lp4
To change lcd density of any android phone
requirement-
Rooted Phone
Any root accessible file explorer
I suggest Root Browser
Now open File Explorer
go to root
now select system and scroll down, you will found an file named build.prop
open it by choosing like rb text editor
now scroll down and search for a line
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
240 is normal
if you want to change then relace 240 by your choice like 210, 220, 200
if there is no such line then add your self
Dont edit another build properties unless you know about it
Now after saving file
Reboot you phone and you will see that your dpi is changed :laugh: :angel:

It is my first post
Hello guys!
I tried to change screen density on my N8000 (TouchWiz KitKat [N8000XXUDNE4]) with build.prop editor. It has changed but the value was wrong and I could saw only some part of the screen so I was not able to change it back via build.prop editor app. So I did it on my laptop (copied build.prop file on SD than edited it on laptop and copied it back to \system folder.
Now my tab doesn't boot it stucks on Samsung flashing logo... :crying: :silly:
Where did I messed thing up? Will placing similar file from other device (N8000 with same ROM) help?
Could any one please share his original build.prop file with me?? (igemmon at gmail.com) :angel:
Many thanks in advace!!!

I got the adb root access of my Dell Venue7 3740 by following Dell's Guide (opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3740_Merrifield/developer-edition/Doc/OSS_A195.pdf)
I pulled build.prop file, but this file have not the ro.sf.lcd_density property.
So I added the ro.sf.lcd_density=160 line.
After this, I pushed build.prop and assign 644 mod to this file.
But my tablet's DPI was not changed and Quadrant Benchmark App says the DPI is 216.
What's the reason and how can I change the DPI of tablet?
Thanks,
