I guess you are saying about ro.sf.lcd_density well, that only changes the scaling factor by which the UI is resized,
And it only works on normal SurfaceView. or in other words.. only those views, defined by a xml files will be resized when changing the ro.sf.lcd_density.

Games use GLSurfaceView and this not resized according to ro.sf.lcd_density. You would have to resize the whole GLSurfaceView to render it in different resolution. And that's what GLtools does, it makes changes in the GLSurfaceViews.

So unless, you are playing those tapping games. that require no use of h/w rendering at all. you won't notice any change in GPU acclerated games when you chagne ro.sf.lcd_density.

I think he ws talkin about the resolution not the dpi.
I dont understand the difference but anyway...
There is opt to reduce resolution too.
I used to lower the resolution(like in pc) on my tab 3 and its effective but our phone is already at the lowest

you mean, Use lower render resolution in GLTools, well, if you set that to 0.5 for our screen the game will actually run at 120x160... but unlike pc, whre actual resolution is changed.. the view is streched later on.. giving blurry, pixelated graphics...

yeah.. this resolution thing is quite confusing.. o_o

16bit rendering smooths performance and barely reduces any graphics (if u arent a graphic freak)
so use that
also if ur device is good(since i dont know much bout it) then u can use fake gpu to fake adreno320 or tegra 2(if u have a good device with good specs)

Then if u have a low end device like us and want to play a resource intensive game i wud suggest reducing to 0.5x
Also always set texture recompression to none.
And experiment with decompression (if u set to always ull Have Awesome graphics but u may or may not get a better performance)

Guys I need some guide over here, everything works fine but my game screen doesn't fit to screen instead it shrinked on the top left corner, but the in game button were still in place, meaning I need to tap on the place it was originally at rather than on the shrinked view

    Gltools (which is similar to chainfire 3d but works on jellybean)
    made by @n0n3m4

    Latest Edit:19/03/2014
    it helps in lowering graphics and emulating other gpus so that a game which is tegra exclusive works on all phones
    is a must have app on our phone for gaming
    i tried lowering graphics using gtools3 on gta and the game is working too good
    touch is completely responsive ingame (ie no lags when changing the view) and so on

    Go to this thread for gameplay videos on our phone:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51197303

    first download free version(limited features) from google play
    or the xda version(all features unlocked) provided by the dev frm this thread
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2615514

    (Im using gta 3 as an eg to show how this works)

    install gltools
    (Note: Enable backup option in the app in case something goes wrong. a cwm flashable zip which can uninstall gltools will be formed)

    open app. then give root access and install tex plugin(and not none otherwise this app wont work)

    reboot the phone

    open app. a list of apps installed will come up

    select ur app(gta 3 for me)

    check on enable custom setting

    tick forcce 16 bit rendering

    tick optimize glsl shaders

    set enable texture decomp. to all

    set enable texture recomp. to none

    set downscale textures to 0.5 and check if it still lags make 0.25x(anything below that will make text unreadable)

    i also faked gpu info though it may not be needed (i did adreno 320)

    in gta 3 display setting i minimised the resolution and draw distance disabled frame limiter

    now the game is very smooth (textures are blurred and graphics are low)
    thats all
    please share ur own config for any game u manage to make smooth

    Enable custom settings
    Force 16 bit rendering
    Drop visual quality to 0.5x
    Thats all.....

    Rest for ram and overall performance of the phone:
    -Dont use task killers...
    -Use Greenify for hibernating apps that are always open. Eg- FB , whatsapp , BBM
    -(Optional)Use tweaks and mods. I recommend Pure graphics HD from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2627406
    Thats all
