ro.sf.lcd_density=200 - Frickin love this

[mrjonnyrock]

So what does this do....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=549635&stc=1&d=1300874955
With AWD Launcher i now get a screen with 6 x 6 (columns,rows). I finally get to use the big screen on the Desire HD.

Compatability?

Well i have no idea what sense would do and themes may have issue alone with some apps.
i know that Camera360 Ultimate don't like this until you run in hardware compatibility mode.

But ill never go back to ro.sf.lcd_density=240


This command is in the build.prop file located in the system folder. I recommend 'Root Explorer' for editing. And its all done at your own risk, always backup

FYI, i even did this to my Desire, not HD, and its just brilliant.

I also run at 200dpi, I find if you take it any lower that compatibility starts to become an issue and some games don't look nice in 70% screen usage. Personally I use ES File Explorer to do the editing of build.prop

wont sense be incompatible with this dpi setting?

that screen is so cluttered. I like mine to be open with everything big, easy to see and press. Plus the app drawer is where I keep most my apps

reminds me of an iphone

I'm running CleanDHD which comes with 190 DPI, and i love it. My screen is way bigger now!

Have found three small glitches, but apps and games runs perfectly.

Confirm that troubles occurs with Camera360 but it's usable. Another application having problems with DPI=190 is CalWidget... it just displays an exception instead of my agenda....

can you send the Camera360 dev an email explaining what happens. i don't think that they understood what i was on about

Could you also test wide screen shots with zoom, full zoom or half zoom. I found that it crashes the app at dpi 240 or 200 for me.

cheers,

To save editing the build.prop you can download lcd density changer from the market. A bit easier I find.

I found that sense worked at 190dpi with a glitch on the lockscreen.

Can you PM the dev's email ? Didnt find it, and user forum seems to be about feature requests and votes... Will try those setting

Confirmed also for notification glitch ... See screen captures

the problem with LCD density changer
is that the change doesn't survive reboots, where as changing build.prop does.

 

[naboleo]

I may have missed something but can't get Camera360 crash...

2 other app that are not perfect :
- the stock dialer is too small the dialer part
- freecell has problems too

I have LCD Density changer 5.3 and works perfect for me. Even with a reboot.

I don't see myself going above 180dpi anymore, I just love the screen estate I get with this. Also looks much cleaner.

This is with dpi on 170 and I'm thinking of going lower, the keyboard stays the same size so I go nothing got lose
