LCD Density Changer

[demolition23]

App to set the density of your screen. Get more info on your screen, like with a high resolution setting on your PC. See the 2nd screenshot for an example.

Try diff. values and launchers if it doesn't work.

NEED ROOT (su, SuperUser and busybox installed!) with full r/w access.

Does it work on wildfire??

Well i managed to test it yesterday.... but seems lyk it dosnt work ... i tried it with both launcher pro and htc sense .. the default density it shows is 120 on wildfire even after booting it shows the same density

It seems like the Wildfire suffers the same fate as Desire , right now this doesn't work on Desire either , because the Desire (and probably the Wildfire too) doesn't allow writes to system once it has booted up.

I tried Typefresh to change fonts and only got errors , then i used a Fontswitcher that runs on the PC instead , it uses adb to push the fonts onto the device, and i ran it in 'desire mode' which really just mean that i have to make sure it is in recoverymode before copying the fonts.

One thing to try is to boot up recovery , pull out the build.prop and edit it , then push it back in again. Might work. (that is what the app does essentially)

Default value is 120, LCD density changer won't allow you to use a value not included between 120 & 240. I guess it just needs an update, but you'll need MartinEve's kernel (r/w access when booted).

works as it should on my wildfire with puzzle rom

EDIT:
you have to enter a lower number than 120 to get it work. my wildfire is running with 100 fine. Higher number means lower resolution

indeed 110 kan funka

looks bad even with 110.... the problem is that apps have problem resizing

The problem is some games won't work well if i change density with LCD Density. If i don't use compatibility mode, the game is too large for the screen.
If i use it, then it gets blurry and laggy ( Jewles Deluxe for example )
Also some apps and widgets don't work anymore: ES File Explorer Force Closes always and widgetsoid force closes when adding widgets to home.

It's a shame...110 or 114 ( divisible by 8 ) was making wildfire to look awesome.

Any possible fixes? Or alternatives?
