Default [Q] LCD density and app resizing

Anyone else found that when they set a custom density not all apps resize, they seem to keep the default density of the Samsung ROM? even though it has been changed. NOVA HD was one but also dialler app and camera for me.

It is also irritating that touchwiz seems to be locked to particular density as well. Anyone found any workarounds for this?

I assume you've turned Compatibility Mode off in Spare Parts? If not, try that first.

TouchWiz seems to misbehave even with that turned off, but I've had no problems with anything else being too small while running at 192 density.

Anyone else notice that the video camera starts force closing when the led density is at a non default value?

for me it's FC's when using 180 LCD Density, 185 works fine.

Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches? Hmm? And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog REALLY is

YES.!, thought it was just me, didn't realise it was density at first and ended up flashing my phone twice from scratch, second time I didn't use it and no force closes.

Custom ROMS starting to head our way now so hopefully we can get this issue resolved.
