Anyone had any luck changing the LCD density on the ICS leak? I tried it using LCD Modder Pro and it resulted in a soft brick.

I'm trying LCD Resolution, it says it needs busybox installed.
I go to the market and try to get an installer for busybox, and apparently market is broken for me - I can't download anything from it. Updates work fine, but can't get anything new.
I've been unsuccessful in getting the LCD resolution to change. I tried LCD Resolution with no change (no soft brick though). Also tried modifying the build.prop directly, that resulted in a soft brick.
I resolved my market broken issue (just reinstalled ICS through odin).
Going to try it after my nandroid backup is done. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
On further thought and some googling, a lot of the LCD density changing apps on the market have disclaimers about it not working on certain devices, or ICS. So I would actually be surprised if the ways of doing it on 2.3.5 will work on 4.0+
EDIT:
Alright, gave it a shot. It won't work. In fact, some of the icons appear larger. Didn't break my phone at all though, just a quick reboot and it was back to normal. I'm going to keep trying different ways.
anyone have any luck with changing ICS density yet? cannot stand how big everything is!!!

I haven't been able to get it yet..
I'm hoping that once the custom ROMs start rolling out I'll be able to figure it out. I'm good at getting into those and changing things, but I'm bad at manipulating just my phone.

Yeah editing the build file just gave me a soft brick as well.. bummer.
EDIT:
I tried adding a new line to the build.prop - My phone appeared to soft brick, and when I was trying to boot it into CWM it somehow booted up. But nothing had changed. Weird..
Also the apps on the market that claim to work with ICS don't for me.
Also, I heard that the Galaxy S II folks had this weird issue of there being TWO LINES that you needed to change... but from what I could tell (I looked over the file very carefully) there is only that one line.
i got the lcd density to change, use rom toolbox pro and changed it to 200 in the build tweaks section

WORKED. Going to check it with 160 (what I used). Excellent find man, thanks!!
EDIT: Ah my phone is so beautiful now. Works perfectly, now if I can only figure out how the app is getting the job done.. haha
That worked perfectly. I was trying to change it for hours. Thanks! I am using 160 too. Looks great, better than with Gingerbread!
What exactly does changing this do?
This changes the resolution of your screen.
ROM Toolbox did the trick, thanks.

Ahh, thank you. Saved me! I did not want to revert back to GB, but do not enjoy a senior friendly UI either!
Ok, I tried this and not sure what is going on.
When I do, the icons get smaller, but instead of using all the screen realestate, I have a large section of unused space that I can't do anything with.
What am I missing or what am I doing wrong?
After you've changed the density, you'll want to change the number of columns/rows of your launcher to make use of the extra space.
Awesome! Rooted up my skyrocket on ICS! First root for me on my first android! And just got my skyrocket yesterday!
I changed mine to 200, it's way better this way. I did it through the rom toolbox as suggested.
There is a small lag though going back to the home screen, are you guys experience this as well?
Any suggestions on fixing the dial pad? I've done some searching and it seems most of the fixes aren't for us.. yet.

You change it in your launcher settings. I'd highly recommend Nova launcher. It acts like the AOSP ICS launcher (with the widgets section integrated into the app drawer). By default the desktop space is 4 rows by 4 columns, but you can change this. I'm experimenting with what works for me with a 160 density.

Thanks, that helped, now how do I create folders in Nova launcher? Can't figure this out for the life of me.
EDIT:
Nevermind, figured it out, it's like the iOS way of creating folders. Just drag and drop 1 app onto another.
Hmm, noticed that the disagree didn't resize either. Can anyone recommend a good dialer?
Exdialer is great.

Hi all,
I am working on tablet mode for the HTC One X.
I own an AT&T One X LTE but this should work for Rogers One X phones as well.
Currently you have to edit some files. Use a file explorer with root access such as Root Explorer (preferred) or ES File Explorer.
This currently gets you the tablet layout (with the bottom bar instead of the top notification bar, tablet layout for apps that support it, etc). The fonts are still very much readable.
How to install:
1. Edit your build.prop to change the LCD Density to 160
2. Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the bottom of the build.prop file
2. Go to settings and change your font size under Display and Gestures to Extra Large
3. Reboot and enjoy
Please backup your build.prop first as well. Although it is pretty safe, I do not assume responsibility for anything that happens to your device.
I will post screenshots later.
Current bugs:
-soft buttons aren't displayed
-some icons are missing in settings
-settings isnt entirely dual pane yet (everything is except the Personalize menu from HTC)
I loved this mode on my note, thank you for working on this. With the note anything below I think 213 would work in tablet mode, does the x have to be @160 or can we go a bit higher like 200?
Screenshots?
softkeys appear if you click the notification bar and disable and reenable notifications, not sure why but worked for me at least, thanks.

200 doesn't work. just tested.
I keep getting black bars on bottom and right of screen... Followed simple enoughdirections. Ideas? Running generic hk version from Paul
Didn't work for me. I had to re flash the ROM through recovery.
Sent from my HTC One X on Leedroid's ROM v5.1.0.
I was able to do this successfully. I found that using a density of 180 and the Large font worked the best. Anything 200 or above won't work.
tablet mode is awesome on this sense cant work but was able to use go launcher ex, also gave better compatibility for games
also apex is good loader but has no bottom bar but you can add drawer icon to homepage

The DPI needed is device specific.
The maximum DPI needed to go over to tablet mode is determined by a formula.

If you want to make all Rom to 160 dpi, just open build.prop and edit the line from 240 to what you want like 160, then just reboot and see if you like it.

We are not getting the results
Like You lol
Yee... Tell us how to make it. First I want to try on launcher then maybe on entire phone.
Guys, if you want to change the DPI for the system UI, search in App Settings for the System UI app (the one with the smiling jelly bean icon), change to 160 or 180, or even 200, and set a 480x854 resolution, then you need to reboot. This will make the status bar smaller (and the navbar wider), however, there will be a gap between the missing bar space and the apps. You could try to change other apps to the same DPI resolution.
Of course, you can also try modifying the build.prop but this is more risky and it may cause a bootlop.
I change in build.prop to 210 and works fine!

Well ..,if you change the density,,the tiles will small,,that will make the icons not so HD,,,and the navigation bar and status bar missing or? you phone look like a kitkat now though
Icons are a little bit blury.
For status bar i'm using Gravity Box, and replacement for navigation bar is LMT launcher very fast and easy to use with "pie" control
Are you sure it works with pimp my room? is there any harm from it?
Is there anyway possible to change the DPI before we obtain root?
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
No, you would need to edit build.prop afaik that is the only way. We have root now, but only /system/xbin is writable so I am not sure if you can change dpi, I will test it out.
You always need root regardless of the methods. But you can do it with the root currently available to the m8. Via xposed and app settings.

Probably. Though I don't use that launcher. I notice that launcher is called Blinkfeed. so if you change the DPI of HTC Blinkfeed it will probably effect the launcher.
I use Nova so I just change the DPI of Nova for the same effect. I don't like the limited number of dock spaces in the blinkfeed launcher and I honestly have no use for blinkfeed itself.

I use nova as well, I changed the dpi on that and like the look. I just need the statusbar icons and text to be smaller since everything overlaps for me from the abundance of icons I have shown. I'll look into app settings to see if that can be modified

Can I ask how you guys are editing the dpi? I have tried using a couple different methods that I have always used but since you have to reboot in order for the change to take effect, it isn't working. I'm using nova and obviously the weak sauce root.

Is that possible ?
