Default Stock DPI

Since I won't get to mess with my S3 until Monday, just curious... what's everyone think about stock DPI (306, if I remember right)? On my Note I found 240 to be perfect over the stock 320.

Just changed it to 240 and TouchWiz crashed repeatedly. I had to double tap hope and have SVoice launch the play store and download apex. With apex it looked great, like my note did. So I then changed it to 280 and touchwiz didn't crash but looked jacked up I just returned to stock. Hope this helps.

Are you modifying the build.prop directly, or do you have an app you use? Looking for recommendations...

Thanks for the feedback. On my Note (rooted), I used ROM Toolbox to adjust DPI... worked perfectly.

The dialer, s voice, notification screen and some other elements are not friendly to lower DPI. I changed the dpi to 240 and had to change it back because it didn't look right.

Didn't want to post this in the dev topic, so figured I'd bring it back here... anyone know of any plans to dev for multi DPI? There was quite a bit of it for the Note... granted the screen is .5" bigger. Just wondering because I've had mine at 280 and thought that was about right, but changed it back to 320 because of some app incompatibilities.
