Android Tablet Density settings

Hi everyone
So, I have this Android Tablet called the Haipad M701 which runs on Android 2.1
By default the icons and everything are HUGE, doesn't look too good So, I rooted the device and found a density setting which by default was at 240. I changed it to different values between 160 to 240 and with smaller values it looks very nice
BUT at any value other than the default 240, almost ALL apps and games are no longer in fullscreen
Does anybody know if there might be a fix for that?
Thanks

wow... not a reply since sept... not sure if you get it fixed or not.
one step you can try is to turn off the compatibility mode in your tablet.
this should fill up the whole screen in most apps except some apps that written specifically for small screen phone without adding large screen display mode in it.

[Q] Raise the dpi

halo
i don't see so well and the Resolution in the one s is to high to me
i raise the DPI Through rom toolbox to 260
but i get some error of the system ui "Unfortunately system UI has stopped"
for example when i enter to "recent up" i got this erorr and i can't enter there....
there is a way to fix it ??
thanks

If I'm not totally wrong raising the resolution will result in smaller letters. You should lower it instead. So please try it.
And you can change letter size within settings -> display & gestures -> font size. By default it is medium, so you can change to large or extra large.
At least under accessibility there is an option named TalkBack, which will activate a spoken feedback to what you touch, choose or activate. I hope your ability to see is not that bad!

I just checked that out.
What's with the notification about it "collecting" info? Collecting it where? And what? I didn't go any futher.....

Tomney,
I am not sure if this will actually work but if you have root you can edit your build.prop file. In that file there is a line that refers to ro.sf.lcd_density. By adjusting that number up or down you can change the dpi of the screen. Now that does not necessarily mean that all of your apps or even the Sense UI will work correctly, but it might be worth a try.
If you want to easily do this I would download the BuildProp Editor app from the market.

Haven't tried it on this phone, but at least on every sense Rom I've used for the hero changing LCD density has always messed up everything. One of the reasons I allways used aosp

as i said i did it with romtoolbox. it is the same , i raise the dpi to 260....
it makes some problems with system ui and i got some errors
i now replace the rom to miui and the dpi change doesn't Affects the system ui
dpi change can be on a rom without htc sense ui and i think even regular ice !
but..... now there is some problem with the market because Resolution Compatibility i think... there is some app i can't download .....
for now i need to come back to 240 dpi for download some apps and its Annoying
maybe if could change the Resolution to Exactly 800\480 i wouldn't get the market-app-Compatibility issue but i dont know how... maybe someone know how to do it?
my vision isn't so bad and i know the regular options aka font enlarger Etc ...
dpi change is the best choice for me .

AOKP Jellybean/ Market DPI issue

I'm confusing myself I think. I have my DPI set at 133 and now I'm having incompatibility issues with the market. I know this isn't a new problem and I know its been discussed before. But info is scattered and nothing I set DPI at fixes the issue. I've tried 160 and a million others but no success. The thing is my DPI was always set at 133 and I have downloaded apps that now say are incompatible. Can anyone help me straighten this out?

Change the dpi back to 160 with :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&hl=en
Open up Rom tool box lite , select :
Performance >build.prop.tweaks>LCD density> set to 160.
APPLY and reboot.

Yeah see. This is why I'm confused. I have that app and that's how I've been changing the DPI. It will change the DPI but won't fix market incompatibility.
Edit: This is going to get annoying really quick lol. I got the apps I needed to download by changing DPI to 320. Now set back to 133 and all is good. Sort of.

[Q] Hold Back to Kill/Best Method for changing DPI

Double whammy question. Is there any way to enable hold back button to kill current app on any rom? I know that it's on most AOSP roms and Viper rom but I'm running King Cobra and miss it coming from AOKP. I would just use viper rom as it's the better rom between the two imo but currently changing the dpi causes system ui to fc and I need my 200 dpi, 320 seems huge and ridiculously wasteful after being on 200 for so long. On Viper it's 320 or nothing, no 241,240,200 or 192 (tablet mode) just 320. I usually just use root explorer and edit the build prop but that kills system ui. Unfortunately so does the app "lcd modifier pro" I know they all essentially do the exact same thing but maybe there's an app out there unbeknownst to me that tricks the system into thinking the density has been unchanged while actually allowing you to change the resolution. Any feedback is appreciated.

How can I customize the used screen space.

So I damaged my phone screen and got a non-original screen as a replacement. The new screen-space is not as tall and so the top part of the status bar is getting cropped off. Is there a way for me to fix this? Probably something that could decrease the screen space my ROM is using by a few pixels?

Wich phone model and software version are you running ?
You may try changin the dpi to make it fit in , some phones have it inside the developer settings

I am using an Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. Android 12 EvolutionX ROM. I will try searching the Developer Options.
EDIT: I did mess up my device and get it into a boot loop by trying to change the display cutout. It's fixed now. But yeah I couldn't find a relevant option. Would be really great if you could give me a bit more precise solution.

The system component that draws the statusbar is SystemUI.apk and, inside it, you will find the images (all the "/res/drawable/sec_stat_sys_*.spr" files) and several XML files that coordinate the overall layout.

I sort of understand what you're saying but this would mean some experimentation and since I don't have a backup device. I don't think with my present schedule I'll be able to spend time experimenting with it. Can you provide some more precise help? Is there no option to tweak things?
