LCD Density + Go Launcher

---

Having finally achieved root today (LOL - 24hrs after I received the device!), I tried to live with Touchwiz. However, one thing that was bothering me was the huge icons...having just come from an Atrix which has a 4" display and slightly higher-res screen, I wanted to use more screen real estate.

So I installed LCD Density.

Problem is, with TW, it's a complete was. The dumb "dots" that are normally at the bottom of the screen just "move up" and waste the extra space you've just won.

Solution - install a launcher such as Go Launcher. Results are that icons are smaller with more screen real estate. Magical!

My G S II with 202 screen density

Nah,

What annoys me is why my messaging icon is stock, and the others are themed! I can't seem to find the icon on the interwebs either to manually set it!

202 Density with 5 x 5 grid in Go Launcher makes this device WAY more productive!!!

Doesn't the phone app annoy you when it doesn't fit the screen?

Wow this is very nice Thanks!

I am also coming from the Moto Atrix and the lower res on bigger screen was really bugging me.

A little, but I don't use the dialer much.

Get LCD Density changer and set to 202 and save. Then hit menu key, settings and tick "Set as my system density"" - it will now be that every time you boot, so max sure it's a density that works....

or, edit the build.prop directly and change the density figure there. Save, reboot....voila! Both need root.
