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
I am currently using Samsung Galaxy Y. While playing the with ROM manager,I accidentally maxed the LCD DENSITY from 120 - 240 , I THINK. When I restarted the Phone, everything is out of scale and I can't even navigate because of the resolution, I tried wiping the data, hoping to wipe the tweaks, but it failed. Please help me, I cannot use my phone.
maybe you just have to change the lcd once again..
like the original ofcourse
Adb push a modified build.prop
AOKP 4 LYF
Use adb pull
to download system/build.prop
change the value ro.sf.lcd_density
save the file
use adb push
to upload your file in system/build.prop
I find here that I should change option in file system/build.prop: ro.sf.lcd_density (current is 240) to higher, but when I try to edit this file with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer I've got error that file cannot be saved. Please, any advice what I do wrong?
And one more question - I changed my firmware from Pure Vanilla v5 to HarshJelly 4.0 and I see that DPI is different. What is the original DPI (called Multi DPI) in Pure Vanilla?
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
I got the adb root access of my Dell Venue7 3740 by following Dell's Guide (opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3740_Merrifield/developer-edition/Doc/OSS_A195.pdf)
I pulled build.prop file, but this file have not the ro.sf.lcd_density property.
So I added the ro.sf.lcd_density=160 line.
After this, I pushed build.prop and assign 644 mod to this file.
But my tablet's DPI was not changed and Quadrant Benchmark App says the DPI is 216.
What's the reason and how can I change the DPI of tablet?
Thanks,
