Why don't you just edit the build.prop file?

Weird, I never had problems with this (but I never went below 400 DPI) ... But still, flashable zip with AROMA won't do anything else, it just changes build.prop instead of you.
I guess it may affect the camera because the app is hard-coded for 480 DPI. When you lower it, the viewfinder gets moved to the left, at 400 is completely on the left edge (should be black bar with settings) there. So it may cause problems with lower than 400 ... Just a guess.
Try this, it works great for me: manually change DPI in build.prop, then use Xposed module "App settings" to force the camera to use 480 DPI. While you're at it, change the gallery also to 480 as thumbnails get a bit squished otherwise.

I came across a guy that was using 280 ... THAT is small!
Then again, stock 480 is overkill, way too big if you have normal eyesight. I'm using 400 for a while now and I'm happy with it (plus it's a perfect match with the screen's 400 PPI), but I'm thinking about going even lower (but not too much) - maybe 380 ...

I have a litte problem. I changed the Stock density (240) to 180 and now the stock camera wont work anymore.
Anyone have had the same problem?

200 dpi works fine
I've been running my Tab at 200dpi for the last month, and so far, no problems at all.
Through a bit of experimenting, I've found that 40 dpi jumps usually work fine. So, 160 dpi, 200 dpi, 240 dpi and 280 dpi all work fine. Anything in between usually breaks some app or other.
I'm running at 200 as well. Most apps work fine, some games don't fill up the screen but that's generally the exception.
182 is max res for cam

Try changing ure density in build.prob rather then using software..
i run 180 with no issues.
Running 220 here, change via build.prop. Camera works fine.

I always edit build.prop to change the density, and with <182 the camera don't work.
Can you try the camera with 180, and if it work can you tell us what kernel/rom are you using?

Has anyone tried a lower density via the build.prop method? I'm aiming for 160-170. I'm using LCD Density Changer app to save settings
Uh... have you actually read this topic ? the message right above yours gives the answer.

Woops. I missed that last thread. Thanks.
I been using 192 with some app on the market but it was too small on that density. Then i tried 240 and it was to big.
So, whats the best density to choose.
And after that market kept saying in the updates that its not compatible with my device..
Its the density has todo with that??
240 is the regular screen size I believe.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
you believe correctly, it is 240
Edit: forgot to mention to try 220 if 240 is to big. Everything works if someone knows certain apps that wont update, please tell.
Ok yall i would try that.
Sent from my LG-P999
Tell me what you think. I just switched to 220 to see how it is also. Don't really mess around with it much but I think im going to keep it this way.

I iust change it to 220. It looks like the same density as 240.
Have tried any other?

Are u sure it didn't change anything? It looks completely different for me. How did u switch density,app or build prob? I used build prob.

you are better off keeping the density at 240. When you change it, the market will not let you download certain apps because it changes the screen resolution to a tablet type res. It is a bug with the market.

Go to 200. There's an app called font changer that also allows you to conveniently change the screen density, it's what I use.

I had my density at 215 for a while and last month i tried redownloading facebook and a few other apps and it said not compatible with device. It is quite annoying, google responded to users complaining about the issue and they basically said that we shouldnt be altering our phones. Oh well....
Coming from the Captivate, I was shocked at how unnecessarily large everything was rendered on such a large screen. I guess that's what comes with having the same resolution but a much larger screen. To me, it is unlivable and I really have to lessen the the DPI--but to what?
So, what are everyone's favorite DPI settings and why? (Preferably with screenshots)
EDIT: I forgot to add the poll! Agh

ICS, 200dpi
Hello.
I tried several configurations, I am at 200 dpi currently and I feel it is ok
160 is very nice as well, but the keyboard gets too small and it is hard with my big fingers to work with it.
Just try one after another, use it for 1 or 2 days and you will discover the best for you. Start with a Big one, about 240 and then go down.
Please know that using the calculator, phone dialer or stock samsung email with different DPI configurations is a mess!!!! You should find the AOSP versions of email other apps, and try the different versions of dialers so you use the full screen after you change the dpi setting.
Also, consider TouchWiz is bad out of the box, changing the DPI makes it worst.
Use a custom launcher to get rid of that.
Saw a Galaxy Note today, and I think TouchWiz is good on it, but not in the Skyrocket.

Using 200 myself. Yup as the previous poster mentioned, the Samsung bundled apps have the margins set. need to find time to remove them, shouldn't be hard..Otherwise after playing around that's what I have settled in..
160 here for 720p!
download another keyboard if the default one is too small. i use slideit =)
i also use adw ex as my launcher and use exdialer as my dialer.
160 dpi with SwiftKey beta, the keys turn out absolutely perfect. On regular SwiftKey, I changed the heights to large and everything was good then.

180. screen real estate but can still read all text without zooming in
I've settled with my S2 4G (aussie model) to run at 190 DPI. Went back to 240 after a few days and wow, way to big.
I'm using Go launcher to fix the display issues on the home screen. Looks really good when icons set to display 6 down and 5 accross.
Will post screen shot shortly.
206. This is the natural DPI for the phone. If you measure the screen size (the 4.5 inches) and divide the area of the screen by the pixels you will get that value.
See the phone profile on gsmarena.com for more details. Basically it is what I think it should ship with rather than the 240 or really tiny 160.
I use nitrality to change my DPI. It will only let me go down to 182. Won't let me choose 206.
What other apps will allow me to change the DPI settings?
190 feels perfect to me. It's big enough that I can still see everything, yet gives so much more screen real estate

I use 220 (I am in my 50's so it works best for me )
Rom Toolbox lets you set any dpi.
Two questions:
1) I am new to the Skyrocket; on my previous phone (Atrix) when you changed launchers you had to clear out the homescreen to save memory. Do you have to do this also on TW?
2) How can I install the no background google search bar like you have?

1) I haven't had to do that on mine.
2) It either came with the Trebuchet Launcher that I'm using or it came with the rom (NexusMod Beta 3)

Use lcd modder products fix for market. And rom toolbox for lcd adjust if you are on a ics rom.

I was at 200 but went back to 220. May try that 204 suggestion soon but I enjoy 220 as of now. Easy to read when I just glance at my phone.
I'm using swiftkey and it seems I always miss keys unfortunately. Not sure if this is from the lcd adjust.
Also using exdialer.

For anyone who has used this app in the past, it works now woth our s4's! As for anyone not familiar with what it does, it changes the pixel density of each app so you can run your phone at a lower density (im using 360 and loving it) while keeping, for example, tw apps which require stock dpi at 480 (stock)

App settings does that, it can also force rotations and revoke permissions.

Hi, I've been trying to search online to find the answer to this to no avail. I know that the PPI value is 577, but I would like to know what the stock DPI value is, as well. Thank you!
Edit: I saw in one comment on Reddit that the stock value is 640 – is this correct?
My stock build.prop say 640
