Android Tablet Density settings

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.

[Q] Raise the dpi

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 .

AOKP Jellybean/ Market DPI issue

I'm confusing myself I think. I have my DPI set at 133 and now I'm having incompatibility issues with the market. I know this isn't a new problem and I know its been discussed before. But info is scattered and nothing I set DPI at fixes the issue. I've tried 160 and a million others but no success. The thing is my DPI was always set at 133 and I have downloaded apps that now say are incompatible. Can anyone help me straighten this out?

Change the dpi back to 160 with :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en
Open up Rom tool box lite , select :
Performance >build.prop.tweaks>LCD density> set to 160.
APPLY and reboot.

Yeah see. This is why I'm confused. I have that app and that's how I've been changing the DPI. It will change the DPI but won't fix market incompatibility.
Edit: This is going to get annoying really quick lol. I got the apps I needed to download by changing DPI to 320. Now set back to 133 and all is good. Sort of.

TW ROM that works with 240 LCD Density

Are there any TW roms that work well with LCD density set at 240? Specially the dialer. Thanks

You can try Galaxy Mod, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953008

Multi-DPI support
--------------------------------------
This ROM has been modified to support different DPI settings, however don't expect it to be at the level of Paranoid Android. I still have yet to figure out per-app DPI, but as of right now you should not get any force closes or unexpected behavior when changing the DPI. There may be graphical glitches. Be careful, in my testing the phone would NOT boot with a DPI lower than 165. To be safe, I would suggest using a DPI of 180-220 if you plan on changing it. Make sure you do not set the DPI above the max which is 320. Doing so would result in a non-booting device.
To change the DPI open the build.prop using an app like Build.prop Editor and edit the following:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
Change "320" to whatever value you want, but be careful. Reboot the device when you have made the changes.
Do not post a bug report if you changed the DPI. Some apps may not work with well with a DPI lower than 320.

Just being curious :eek: If someone can answer it :eek:

So Yesterday I Was Testing An Oreo ROM On My Onyx.
Since The Display Size Was Odd. So I Decided To Change The DPI to 400 But Accidentally Changed It To 4000.
Now My Screen Going On And Off & system UI getting crashed too.
Just Being Curious That Where Are Those DPI Values Stored ? build.prop Doesn't Have Those Values Though
Any Solutions Or Clean Flash ?
