Default JM6 & LCD Density

Hi there,
anyone could confirm?

Tab fw JM6 rooted ok with SuperOneClick
If I try to change LCD density with LCD Density Changer, nothing happens, it doesn't work
Same issue with Spare Parts, the program starts but then force close

Is there any other sw out there to change LCD density that works with JM6?
thanks

It's because BusyBox isn't installed. Go to LCD Density - Settings - Select make LCD my system density. As soon as you tick the box, it will say Cannot complete without busybox and will direct you to the market.

Download Busybox and all root apps will work.

Unlike Z4root, SuperOneClick doesn't install busybox, you need to do it manually.

Or alternatively you can edit the build.prop and select the density you want in there, without adding any 3rd party programs.

I've set lcd density to 180
I've also installed LauncherPro with all widgets
The People widget is very big, is there any chance to resize it or put more than one widget in the same page (ex. People and Facebook widget)

Launcher pro paid version (sounds like you have it) has the ability to resize the widgets. Click and hold it in position, as if you are moving it, then release and you should be given the option to resize. Not sure how well it will work with changes to LCD density though.

Some widgets react OK to being sized differently than their expected size, but in my experience most get fairly mangled. What I think you actually need is to increase the number of rows and columns on your desktop to accommodate the increased screen real estate. You will need to switch to Launcher Pro or ADW though. I'm running a density of 200, with 6 rows and 7 columns which works well. A lot of the Samsung widgets seem to come in at 3 rows wide, which means that with a 6 row desktop you can now put 2 of them side by side.

I'm using ADW.Launcher with 200 instead of 240 LCD density, it works beautifully well in both portrait and landscape orientations !

Never had any issuewith widgets not working after changing the density, especially LPP widgets. They worked perfectly at 200 on the Tab and my Desire

If I change it to anything below 240 and open the stock email app, I get a little gap in the bottom when its in landscape. That's the only reason I don't use it
