To my best knowledge there is no app in the market that can change the LCD density for a particular app only,i know it's possible in the paranoid rom, but what about non cm9 users, is there a way around,i particularly like lower density for messaging n whatsapp

it requires larger edits in several framework files so you're out of luck there. Only way to get it is Paranoid.

Is there a way i can script my phone to have 1200x720 resolution only when i open browser, then going back to default 800x480 on desktop?
I have used apps like lcd density/resolution to change it before but i have to manually set it every time which sucks.

Nope, changes to the build.prop require a system reboot to take effect.
You can't just make your phone more hd it doesn't work like that

Well i found a way, just got to go into browser settings and change default view to far and text exttra small.
I followed the instructions in the threads I found (yes I looked it up), it says to change DPI to 120 following the instructions on in Rom settings>general UI>LCD density. I changes and giving me the tablet mode, but it doesnt fit the screen. There are large spaces I cant use on my homescreen and my widgets are super small. Is there any way to have tablet mode, but keep my full homescreen? Please be helpful and not mean, 1 Single act of kindness.

That solved the space problem Thanks! But my app icons and widgets are still tiny, any help for this?
in the same launcher, theres an option where you can make bigger icons (preferences -> visual settings -> icons) but let me tell you that if you change the LCD density everything else will looks smaller so I recommend you to change back to 240 dpi. ( sorry for my English )

I thought for tablet mode dpi is suppose to be 128 not 120. 120 might be too small.

I actually got sick of tablet mode pretty quicky, so I went up to 160 dpi which is perfect in every way. But I just switched to Jellytime R1 by randomblame which doesnt have the rom controls, so I used toolbox to change my dpi...but I dont know where to get the correct market. This would be my last question for this thread, I'm pretty satisfied where I am atm, except for the playstore issue
Is it possible to fix camera recording on AOKP 8,5 or 8,6 rom ?
Hi guys,
I use my tab heavily for work, meaning that I send and receive a lot of e-mails. Is there a possiblity to change the font from Times New Roman to something like Calibri or something? If I remember correctly I had this option on the GT-N7000 but it disappeared there as well. Maybe I am missing something ?
Thanks.

Anyone?
You can change fonts under system/display, but charge is systemwide .

Not sure if that changes the font you write e-mails in... rather the display fonts....

Edit
I suggest you trying some other email apps out there, I'm sure some will have the feature you're looking for. If it's really, really important there's always the possibility to use an app like Dreamviewer and control your PC remotely from the tablet. That way you can use your own client at the computer at work and aren't limited to what the tablet can and can't.

Hi all,
I'm hoping people would share their Paranoid Android UI settings here.
Some of us (me included) are having a very hard time adjusting the UI, including the status and notification areas, correctly on our Tabs.
Thanks!!

Well, I'm not sure what u mean exactly but after lots ofntweaking and testing I have settled for these:
In the launch section I'm on tablet ui(mid)
In the interface section I'm on tablet UI for all(720px - although in actuality 800px is the ideal for our tablet and u can manually modify that in the paranoid conf files if u wish, I didnt)
And for the size values in the interface section I am set to 180 for all..
Then I went to modify certain apps I wld use often: youtube, play store and my launcher
So in the apps section I chose those and adjusted their values to something that makes proper use of our wonderful screen..
Youtube size: 160, layout/ui: 800px
Play store size: 180, layout/ui: 800px
Launcher(go launcher HD) size: 180, layout/ui: 600px
But u can play around with the individual apps to test what the different settings cause, u mostly only need to change these two values..
Another question: I randomly get a screen flicker along the bottom of my screen(only on this rom though), do u get it too by any chance? just wondering..

Thanks for your stuff!
Yes I get the screen flicker, though on the side... also I've had it since sometime now, even before PA.
Not to mention, I'm a victim of SOD... any solution?

I am using Google Keyboard, but it doesn't have an option to reduce its size. What I'm trying to do is use Xposed + App Settings, find the keyboard's process, and reduce its DPI. The problem with this is that it only affects the settings menu, and not the actual keyboard. I assume there's a separate process for the keyboard itself and another one for the settings.
Can you think of any way to do this? Swiping long words on a large keyboard is not very comfortable. Any ideas?

If you want a customizable keyboard try swifkey

I've tested all major keyboards and I'm not interested in any other one. Google Keyboard is almost perfect; I just need to make it smaller.

Ohk sir.. then I'll leave this upto great developers and their scripts

Bumping this thread as I too would love to know how to do this.
API does not allow DPI change

Hello fellow Androider,
I have tried doing this using Xposed framework and every other way I could google but it seems the scripts in the application framework do not allow us to change the DPI for the Google Keyboard.
I just gave up and at the moment I'm using a sweet alternative called Minuum Keyboard, I hope you'll thank me after you try it!!!
Peace,
Syed
