I'm coming from the xperia 1 (for which i was a chef for some time) and just recently bought the sensation xe, so i'm pretty much a noob in android.
My question is .... is it possible to lower the resolution or pixel density to boost performance on the Sensation xe ?
sorry if this was asked before but i didn't find anth similar around
Yea use a dpi changer from market or prop modder app.
Or you can edit the build.prop file with root explorer or such.....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And does it really improve performance ?
I've got problem with DPI Changer. I've set DPI to 160 and rebooted phone and now Sense is FCing all the time and I can't change DPI to default value. Is there any possible to change DPI to default value? I'cant turn on any application - there is no working launcher.
Rom is Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 (ICS 4.0.3)
easy, edit build.prop in /system
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
240 is default
But how I can get the access to build.prop? I can't open file manager. Can I change it from my PC by connecting phone with the cable?
use droid explorer, boot into recovery-->mount /system-->start droid explorer-->edit file
I think I'm doing something wrong - when I edit file in droid explorer, every time I save changes, close ando open again, the value is again 160.
copy first on desktop, make all changes and delete the file on smartphone and copy from desktop to smartphone! reboot
It's working now. Thanks, You're great
you're welcome
To change lcd density of any android phone
requirement-
Rooted Phone
Any root accessible file explorer
I suggest Root Browser
Now open File Explorer
go to root
now select system and scroll down, you will found an file named build.prop
open it by choosing like rb text editor
now scroll down and search for a line
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
240 is normal
if you want to change then relace 240 by your choice like 210, 220, 200
if there is no such line then add your self
Dont edit another build properties unless you know about it
Now after saving file
Reboot you phone and you will see that your dpi is changed :laugh: :angel:
Thanks If i helped
It is my first post
After I flash newest android Lollipop 5.0 on my device and install custom recovery + root. I try to change system font Thai by using Root explorer replace system font with font Thonburi following this files name : NotoSansThai-Bold.ttf, NotoSansThai-Regular.ttf, NotoSansThaiUI-Bold.ttf, NotoSansThaiUI-Regular.ttf. After reboot system I found that Thai font is replace by space (empty). This method of change system font to font Thonburi is work fine on android 4.4. ?
any ideas ?
note : I try to using another font and it work!, but still need to know why ? and how to fix this problem I really love Thonburi font.
Thank you,
I've set my dpi at 532 and I've backed up mini clock file with Titanium backup, I want to know if I can go below 530 by keeping the Lg apps dpi to 532 by Xposed extension AppSettings, if so please help me
If you feel confident with it, you can change it on the build.prop file.
I have rooted android v6. 0.1, how I can change the default swapp file size, (without using external apk)
Thank
