App tip: LCD resolution

---

I used this app to set the pixel density at 170 on my tab 8.9

I think it looks awesome, give it a try.

(you need to be rooted, and I am using the latest overcome rom)

Thanks for the sharing. I am considering to change the LCD density but not comfortable to root yet (still reading and learning....).

1) Can you help post the screenshot on home screen, app folder screen. If possible, can you install the CNN News and post this app home screen etc. Due to original 160 setting, the font on CNN News is extremely small.

2) Can you help posting the above with 240 setting.

3) Any problem install app thru market (i heard market can only install with 160 or 240 LCD)? Anyway I am prepared to reinstall the old mkt version as it does not has this limitation.

Sorry to trouble you and appreciate your helps and sharing.

Hi,

Rooting is actually quite easy. Give the link below a try, so you can see it for yourself

Been one of the more fast and easiest devices that I've rooted.

thanks for the app recommendation. But my tab went crazy after switching density. gmail force closed, calendar force closed... it because quite unstable. Reset back to default density, and removed program. All good again.

kernel 2.6.36.3_motley_v2+
android 3.2

Strange, did you set it to 170?

not sure if I can tell a difference.. icons seem to look larger on the screen...

market and apps will act up if you change density. switch back to the default values to fix this.

What is the default?

I believe it's 170, at least according to the specs listed at GSMArena.com.

I'm not sure I understand the advantage of doing this. My display looks beautiful as it is.
