I just bought mine and haven't gotten a chance to play with it as i am stuck in class and it's charging, so....

Anyone wanna try to increase the resolution on their rooted tablet using either of these apps?

I have verified that both work on my LG Optimus V.

You can also try to change the build.prop if you have that level of knowledge, google it :)

Please let me know of your results! :D

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, since the resolution is hardware dependent. Do you mean the font sizes and such?
In my Optimus V, once rooted, i can increase the resolution of the device by modifying the build.prop or by using apps such as LCD density changer, etc.

Does it work alike for the tablet or no?

I just bought it, haven't gotten to play around with it.

Yes, you can also modify the build.prop on the Streak 7.

Oh, OK. I get what you're saying. Duukaz is right; either use the app or simply modify your build.prop with root explorer (or ADB, but root explorer would be easier).

All it is is essentially a script to edit ro.sf.lcd_density

any file editor capable of editing root files (like root explorer's) can be used to edit the build.prop like they stated.

ro.sf.lcd_density works on all android based devices i presume, and that's how the apps work, they just give you a nice gui so you dont have to edit it by hand.

editing the dpi only makes things scale differently, you cant actually change the screen as that's obviously a hardware thing.
