Recently I started to have this small annoyance where the reviews box that opens when you click on a review in play store is very small in width.
I'm not sure when it started, i suppose after 5.1/5.1.1 but not sure, I never had this before.
I'm using latest temasek with slim gapps and 320dpi.
Screen attached. Solutions?

Did you try changing the DPI to 480?
It's Stock DPI on CM!

I never used stock 480, too big for me, and never had a problem before.

Try setting it between 360-480 range, your issue will be resolved for sure.
420 is what I am using currently

What LCD density are you all using? I just switched from default (240) to 200 and it's fantastic.
Loving this screen.
190 is a little better
How do you change the density?

Use root explorer to edit your build.prop file under /system.
Back it up first!
Unfortunately swiftkey beta doesn't work with changed density! Dang it.
You can also use LCDDensity from the market, its free but still requires root.
I already have problems with text readability on some sites, wouldn't this make it worse?
IMO 200 is the sweet spot. At the default density, Samsung's text sharpening looks a bit harsh.. You clearly see a 'halo' around letters, and it's not too visually pleasant.
I also changed the font to Ubuntu Regular, looks better than the default to me.
I tried 200 and it looked ok but the uneven icon spacing and widget size was quite unappealing. Is there a way to fix that?
maybe a diff launcher which can add more rows and columns on the home screens and allow widgets to be resized.
I tried LCD Density from the market, and it changed it..Looked great, however, on second reboot it reverts back to stock.
WTF?

If you read the instructions when you run the app, it states that changes will not save through a reboot. So either edit your build.prop manually, or buy LCD Density Changer from Beansoft.
200 dpi looks great for me. Using ADW Launcher EX, 5x5 icon grid, icon size set to 130.

Go to phone settings, display, font, get font online, download fontomiser, open the app choose what font you like then clikc and download the sample. You don't need a PC to do this.

When I search on "fontomizer" I get 2 results. "Font for Galaxy SP" and "Font for Galaxy". Does it matter which one or are they both compatible?

Yes just try which one, it is an app you can remove it if you don't like it.

I noticed that everything seems to scale properly, except for dialer. It's now taking up only part of the screen and doesn't resize. I also got thin black lines going through tab buttons at the top.
Any solution to this?

change it closer to 240, since 240 is where its supposed to be. otherwise, youll get that.
Is that the only way to fix it?

I searched around and there was an old thread about this but the actual poll wasn't made. So here it is again, and please comment about the method that you used.
I've used the Stock tool in AOKP's ROM, but I'm experiencing Market Compatibility Issues so I may buy LCD Density Modder Pro.
Edit: 50 views, and 1 person voted (me). Come on guys. Or are all of you on 190.
Mine is 190 (not on the poll) as cm9 is weird with 180.

Using 190 as well. Changed from rom toolbox, no market issues because I downloaded the edited apk but my dialer is smaller than the screen so I'm searching for an edited apk for that now.

I'm on AOKP and 180 worked fine on the dialer (the actual app crashes on an incoming call, but still it looked good @ 180). What should I google to find the edited market apk? Is it density specific (i.e Market w/ 240dpi spoof)? Sorry, I don't really know the nuances of my phone yet.

190 is mine also.
The little blue pull-down circle ring in SkyICS is off-centered now.
And RocketDial app has everything smaller, it didn't resize properly.
The only reason I'm doing 190 is to fit everything I want in one view on the Apex launcher bar.
EDIT: I thought I was 190 but I'm actually 200.

Here's the difference between 240 and 200 for me. http://imgur.com/a/6JPVC
Edit: What methods for both of you
ROM Toolbox here.
I restored all my apps from Titanium so didn't have to go to market to install anything.
I originally tried 180 but it was just too small for my older eyes.

I used ROM Toolbox to change the density then LCD Density Modder to Fix Market Compatibility
And I can send you a link to the phone fix... its just an apk that you need to copy to your /system/app folder then reboot.
Also no market issues at all.

That would be wonderful, I just brought that ***** down to 160 (trying out the market fix in Themes/Apps section) so a stable phone would be great.
Also on ROM Toolbox question, is it really as good as advertised? Replacing ROM manager, Tit Backup, Root Explorer, etc.

Honestly, I use Root Explorer for what it's used for and ROM Manager for what it's used for.
ROM Toolbox might do all those things just as well. But I never bothered to try using it for any of those.
I have used ROM-T for replacing boot animation (the selection isn't super) and some icons like 4G or Wireless in the pull down (again, selection isn't super).
And toyed with it for overclocking.
I stop using it for awhile but always seem to find something useful in it to use here and there.
This is what I used for the market fix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639213 .. can someone post the edited phone.apk? Thanks!

On miui changing the density will crash the home. On aokp under 190 phone won't work. Cm9 under 180 things get thrown off like the circle in the pull down.
Android 4.0.4 AOKP
"Here's the difference between 240 and 200 for me."
Now that's just creepy - I have the EXACT same toggles in AOKP, but my swagger is ON
Is Rom Toolbox the best way to go for changing density? I using LCD Modder and set standard/boot to 190. Basically thought I had bricked for a few minutes, phone went fully unresponsive. Battery pull + power only showed Samsung logo followed by nothing, luckily booting into Recovery wasn't a problem.
EDIT: SkyICS
I use Rom toolbox. I am on SkyIce 4.2E and have no problems using 160 or 200. The only reason i stay at 200 instead of 160 is my eyesight. Im not blind, but i dont like straining either. Yes, the dialer screen at 160 is really small, but still plenty usable. I dont really get picky over the small stuff.

Hi,
I am using SLIM ROM 4.2.1 Stable 1.0 , Nexus S
I am getting this odd behavior of Twitter App, whenever i click on New Tweet or when i reply to any Tweet.
Seems, either its cropped from Top or it is not recognizing Status Bar.
Interestingly, 4 Icon of New Tweet, doesn't show, and gets hidden under Keyboard.
It started since i installed SLIM ROM 4.2.1 RC2.
Are you using the navigation bar? I was trying out a launcher that would do that only when the navigation bar was present.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
No, i am not using Navigation bar.. what i feel , the New Tweet PopOut window is either not recognizing the status bar, OR some issue.
I tried to re-install the Twitter App too and Full Flash SLIM ROM today itself.
Anyone facing similar issues?

My Twitter is good...I'm using a dark version from here:

So try it, just download and install.
But overall mine does it also when it goes to tweet screen...so its not uncommon.
