[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.

[Q] Hold Back to Kill/Best Method for changing DPI

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.

dpi changer in bumblebee rom

Bro i am a newbie over here please explain me that low dpi is good or the higher dpi default dpi in bumblebee is 240 so i want a dpi like s3 should.i got higher or lower and please tell me effects on play store
And the procedure i cannot post on bumble bee

Hi Rohit,
Low or High DPI is totally upto you how you would like to see it
Low DPI for ex. 190 will make contents on your phone (Like ICONS, NOTIFICATION, FONTS, POP UP's etc) more compressed so with 190 DPI you'll notice things displayed will be smaller, similarly with more DPI like the default 240 DPI in Bumblebee ROM you'll notice contents displayed on the phone are bigger than what they would be on 190 DPI
If you'd like to change the DPI on Bumblebee please read the DPI instructions given on Bumblebee ROM's page
And yes dont forget to Google around if you'd like to find more technical info on DPI
HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK YOU SHOULD

Thanks bro

[Q] Rooted OnePlus w/CM11s LCD Density Value

Are you able to change the value and have it applied after reboot?
Explanation:
I have an Nexus 7 (2013), Galaxy S3, & Galaxy S4, all running CM11 (I have only successfully executed this method with Cyanogen CM10 & CM11, haven't tried others).
With a rooted phone and a file explorer app; you are able to go under the root folder and changed the density value of your screen, increasing the resolution per se (think of Paranoid ROM when changing display settings "Phone", "Phablet", "Tablet").
/system/build.prop
open as text and search for variable "ro.sf.lcd_density=320"
320 was the default value on my s3, i personally prefer to change it 280. Save changes and reboot.
I AM NOT SUGGESTING OR RECOMMENDING TO DO THIS ON ANY OF YOUR DEVICES IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT YOU'RE CHANGING. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO, IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK! I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!
So I repeat, any one been able to successfully pull this off for CM11s?

Yep, running stock on my OPO I was able to change it to 320 and it held through reboot.

Yep. Same succes here. I feel confortable with density set to 400 instead of stock 480 dpi.

Yes it works, I switch dpi using texdroid.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
