I tried to use LCD Modder Pro but its ICS hack crashes and its temp reboot doesnt work and when I took take the chance and apply a setting I had used before on hone comb, all I get is a black screen and then I have to use Odin to flash ICS back and redo CWM and Root.
So I was wondering which ones have worked for the community
LCD Density Modder Pro works great for me.
I manually change the build.prop. :fingers-crossed:
BTW, don't go over 170 (Hardware limit). AND, if your using a third party Launcher (I use GO Launcher HD) and set the DPI to 170, you'll go to phone mode and lose the soft keys (BacK, Home, Option...)
I just used rom manager and have it at 120 right now which adds extra tablet features and gives me more space versus the overly large display in its stock configuration and I use AWD EX and Widget Locker
LCD Density Modder Pro does not work for me as well. It is wiping out the build.prop file. I am now just using root explorer to manually edit the build.prop file. It is super simple to do.
Try Blade Buddy. It's compatible with ICS and has a lot of other features useful for modding too.
Rom Toolbox
I've used it on tables and phones and have yet to have a problem with it. It's free and very easy to use.
What are these extra tablet features you guys are talking about?

Hi everyone
So, I have this Android Tablet called the Haipad M701 which runs on Android 2.1
By default the icons and everything are HUGE, doesn't look too good So, I rooted the device and found a density setting which by default was at 240. I changed it to different values between 160 to 240 and with smaller values it looks very nice
BUT at any value other than the default 240, almost ALL apps and games are no longer in fullscreen
Does anybody know if there might be a fix for that?
Thanks
wow... not a reply since sept... not sure if you get it fixed or not.
one step you can try is to turn off the compatibility mode in your tablet.
this should fill up the whole screen in most apps except some apps that written specifically for small screen phone without adding large screen display mode in it.
halo
i don't see so well and the Resolution in the one s is to high to me
i raise the DPI Through rom toolbox to 260
but i get some error of the system ui "Unfortunately system UI has stopped"
for example when i enter to "recent up" i got this erorr and i can't enter there....
there is a way to fix it ??
thanks
If I'm not totally wrong raising the resolution will result in smaller letters. You should lower it instead. So please try it.
And you can change letter size within settings -> display & gestures -> font size. By default it is medium, so you can change to large or extra large.
At least under accessibility there is an option named TalkBack, which will activate a spoken feedback to what you touch, choose or activate. I hope your ability to see is not that bad!

I just checked that out.
What's with the notification about it "collecting" info? Collecting it where? And what? I didn't go any futher.....
Tomney,
I am not sure if this will actually work but if you have root you can edit your build.prop file. In that file there is a line that refers to ro.sf.lcd_density. By adjusting that number up or down you can change the dpi of the screen. Now that does not necessarily mean that all of your apps or even the Sense UI will work correctly, but it might be worth a try.
If you want to easily do this I would download the BuildProp Editor app from the market.
Haven't tried it on this phone, but at least on every sense Rom I've used for the hero changing LCD density has always messed up everything. One of the reasons I allways used aosp

as i said i did it with romtoolbox. it is the same , i raise the dpi to 260....
it makes some problems with system ui and i got some errors
i now replace the rom to miui and the dpi change doesn't Affects the system ui
dpi change can be on a rom without htc sense ui and i think even regular ice !
but..... now there is some problem with the market because Resolution Compatibility i think... there is some app i can't download .....
for now i need to come back to 240 dpi for download some apps and its Annoying
maybe if could change the Resolution to Exactly 800\480 i wouldn't get the market-app-Compatibility issue but i dont know how... maybe someone know how to do it?
my vision isn't so bad and i know the regular options aka font enlarger Etc ...
dpi change is the best choice for me .
Double whammy question. Is there any way to enable hold back button to kill current app on any rom? I know that it's on most AOSP roms and Viper rom but I'm running King Cobra and miss it coming from AOKP. I would just use viper rom as it's the better rom between the two imo but currently changing the dpi causes system ui to fc and I need my 200 dpi, 320 seems huge and ridiculously wasteful after being on 200 for so long. On Viper it's 320 or nothing, no 241,240,200 or 192 (tablet mode) just 320. I usually just use root explorer and edit the build prop but that kills system ui. Unfortunately so does the app "lcd modifier pro" I know they all essentially do the exact same thing but maybe there's an app out there unbeknownst to me that tricks the system into thinking the density has been unchanged while actually allowing you to change the resolution. Any feedback is appreciated.
Hi all,
I very much like UpInTheAir latest update of his Aroma ROM (i.e. V3.0) on my P6810 32GB.
I wanted to change the DPI resolution so I have more room, mainly in landscape mode as at 213 DPI it feels like the whole screen is just a keyboard when you type in a URL or else.
So now I am at 176 DPI and it is a lot more useable (again the issue is mainly in landscape mode) but the keyboard is not using the whole of the bottom of the page. I don't recall this being the case in the Bodivas stock ROM so I assume a different version of Samsung keyboard is being used in this ROM.
I haven't looked for the keyboard app yet but I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the app with the stock one and if so could someone tell me what the app is?
Many thanks.
The phones keep becoming inferior with every superior model getting launched. Some users might not want to buy a new phone just yet. You might want to get the most out of your device while it lasts. To compensate for the continously increasing screen sizes and resolutions in the newer phones, we can change the Screen Density of our devices in order to utilize our screens more efficiently.
Most manufacturers stick to the standard DPI of 240 on the large screened phones like Samsung Galaxy S II or HTC Desire HD, so it might be too big to really make efficient use of the Android device.
Still, there is hope. Just make sure that you are rooted and equipped with Root Explorer or a free app like ES File Explorer in order to access the Root owned partition of the device.
Method:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Go to /system
3. Click on Mount RW (It shall appear aa Mount RO)
4. Look for build.prop. Long press on the file and press Open file in Editor
5. Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density=240
6. Change the value to anywhere between 180 and 240. The lower the value, the higher density your screen will have.
7. Click on the Menu button , and Save and Exit.
8. Reboot.
You should now have a phone with the same screen size but alot more density, slightly smaller text and more space to use applications on.
This guide can be used on all Android phone, even the smaller MDPI and LDPI phones to make your screen to appear bigger and more useful . However, you will have to tinker with the value unless you find one that suits you best.
If some applications cannot span properly to the new screen size, download Spare Parts from the market, uncheck Compatibility Mode in the options, and reboot.
Some launchers may act wierd , however most do look good with a higher density look!
Do press the Thanks button if this guide has helped!

I am using 160. With this value you don't have problems with play store.

What issues did you experience with play store before?
When I used different values between 160 and 240, i. e. 180 or 200, I had compatibility problems with play store. New program version weren't shown as update, and if I searched for apps the message Not compatible with this device appeared. With 160 no problems with unhacked play store.
