Did a quick search and didnt see it posted.
Changing it from 240 to 200 looks good on these like it did on the captivates. This is a sweet spot I feel for looks and without causing issues.

did you have any problems with the dialer? people reported it crashing when changing the density (but most were changing it to be HIGHER)
shiiiiit didnt try that...
ok yeah thats not cool.. damnit it looks soo good like this too.
looks like Ill be playing around and researching other moto phones to see if theres a sweet spot that works maybe something weird like a 203 or some crap
and yes everyone if you go back to stock all is well
dialer2 from market (free) works well when changing density
Thanks for the feedback. Im going to add it to the list of root apps found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099846

Smaller number means higher resolution. Make sure to use small increment changes when testing. its mostly a personal preference type thing. I think the Atrix screen looks great, much better overall than the Cap. Hold any two screens next to eachother and look at different images and you will see how different screens look better or worse depending on what your viewing. Me and my buddy had fun pitting my Atrix against his G2x just surfing though google images. Warmness softness sharpness density Screen type, many thing influence the image quality. In the end its up to your eye to decide what looks best to you.
LCD density does not work on my atrix it just reboots and stays the same

were you guys able to get the droid x2 apk working? wouldn't install and copying into my app folder kept it there but then i couldnt get a signal or change the call settings.

I figured it out
the phone looks much better imo
still didn't get the new apk to work. wouldn't install and it won't launch if it put it in the system/app folder
Here is a nice way to change your screen resolution, Download LCDDensity for root:
https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&feature=search_result
and set it to 150. The only problem is that some apps that only run on 800x480 resolution appear to be a quarter of the screen. I wonder if there is a way to fix this, because this would be an awesome default for our screens.
Don't go too far below that, your rom may not boot and you might loose appdata, the safest I dared to go was 150, and the highest is 300, but 300 sucks, its so big
Yeah I stopped using it because of apps and dialer was a bit off using it.. I don't think there is a fix yet

Wow, this app is awesome. I'll be using it until any major problems occur.

I don't see the point. Actual pixel density is a property of the hardware (read: unchangeable), so why tell everything running on your phone that you have a higher density?

I can now fit more on my home screen. I can now see more facebook lol, I like how my maps are now. Idk, to each their own.
Did you try it out?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The Only Problem with this is the notification bar does not scale to the whole screen, the market doesn't work and the phone is quarter size. If you uninstall and reinstall the apps that didn't work, they should work fine. I wonder if a developer could fix these problems or make a ROM that supports this "change of resolution".
Everything is ok for me, but market fc and that kills it for me. If a market can somehow be modded to work for it I'd run it fulltime.

240 is the default for our phones. I generally run 200 most of the time, but certain games like PewPew will crash eventually. The Market does not force close on me at 200, but I haven't tried any other resolutions. I'm running Syndicate 1.1 btw.
I changed my screen density to 160 after installing CM9 by editing build.prop. Now, I can't get it to go back to 240 when I want to download/update apps from the market. I can edit and save build.prop and it shows that my settings have saved in the file, but nothing I do can get it to revert back. What am I doing wrong?
Try rebooting the phone after you change it back to 240

Yes, I did that. In fact, I rebooted multiple times. I even left the setting at 240 and cleared my market data to see if I could just trick it into thinking I was using a supported screen density. It still won't let me download/update most apps. The problem also persisted after I upgraded from Alpha1 to Alpha2.
Try an lcd density changer app from the market. Are u able to dl one of those?

Yeah, I had originally used the LCD Resolution app, but it wouldn't work. I just tried it again now and it still won't work. This app doesn't seem to even be able to change build.prop which is why I ended up trying to change it manually.
Also, I mistyped, my current density is set at 190, not 160, for those of you wondering why I'm still getting Market incompatibility messages at a supported resolution.
I just tried using LCD Density Modder and it worked. I would like to know what it does that the other app, and editing build.prop manually didn't do, if anyone knows.
Lmfao 160??? How did you even see the app to install? Hahahaha glad it worked for you

That was a typo, I meant 190. Although I tried 160 with the Font set to huge and it wasn't too bad.
Just reflash the rom. It'll reset the dpi

Thanks, this is what was holding me back from cm9
I kinda like 180 but dialer crashes when you make a call. What is everyones favorite density? 190? looks like 183 is there lowest you can go without the dialer crashing.

I don't think 160 is too small at all, it was my default on CM7, it also clears up a lot of Market incompatibilities, and gives the tablet interface for some apps (Netflix)... But it crashes the dialer and task switcher on CM9.
182 is the lowest possible in CM9, unless you don't want to use the task switcher or make/receive phone calls.
Hi all, I've been rooting/flashing/customizing my EpicTouch4G for a while, just upgraded to the S4, got it rooted with no issues.. Everything is working perfect so far, getting some apps installed and its running great. I didn't realize the S4 comes at 1.83gHZ..
So, my question is this, I like using low DPI settings, and on my ET4G, stock TW was 240DPI, on the S4, stock TW is 480DPI. Does anyone know the lowest DPI the S4 can run with stock TW? On the ET4G, I'm sure 160DPI was the lowest setting stock TW would run.
Thanks for the help

361 is a nice DPI, try it out.
Been looking to change DPI on TW for awhile on the S4 - posted a thread about it but no one had tried yet. What are you using to change it? Manually editing the build prop? And what have you guys personally safely changed it to?

You can use ROM Toolbox to edit the build.prop
Keep in mind that in TW, the dialer will be off-centered.

Thanks for the post. Is 361 as low as it goes without getting fc's to start? On my E4GT, I went from 240 to 160 (TW of course, I really like 100 or even 85 on AoSP based builds)
The reason why I am trying to find this info out before I test is because on TW, I have set it too low and soft bricked, I wasent able to fix cause of a boot loop.. so I am trying to avoid that happening on my S4

Well, I don't run TW at all... I only changed the DPI on TW because I had the phone before Loki was released, so I don't know the minimum... I've gone as low as 320, which I found too small... 240, 160, 100, 85, even if it did work, would be so tiny it would be unreadable... DPIs that low are fold old school phones like S1 and Nexus S... Old, crappy screens... I found 320 too small, but it worked...

Ok guys, Got ya for ya.
I changed my dpi to 320, and bascially everything is working fine. The only problem is the camera is only using the top left of the screen. Its not taking up the whole screen. Annoying.
To try and fix it, I installed xposed framework and the module app settings, set it so the camera app uses the default 440 dpi. No change. Restarted. Same. Messed with the app some more, and come to the conclusion either i'm using it wrong or it doesnt work for our phones...
So my question to you, how are you overcoming this? Just living with it? The focal points are all messed up as well which is driving me nutso. Any suggestions?
Thanksss
is the default 440? i thought i remember someone saying in another thread they used xposed to set the camera back to 480 and that fixed it?

i'll have to try that... I was thinking 440.. but i could very well be wrong. trying now
Edit:
tried 480 and its not working....
Do you know if there are other settings i need to change as well? I changed the dpi in the app, but do i need to do anything with permissions or any of the other settings?
Thanks!

How did you go about changing the DPI for everything? I have xposed and the app that lets me change it per app, but I'd like to make EVERYTHING 320 except for apps I modify with Xposed. thanks
Can you guys provide screenshots of your phone with your changed DPI? This is one of the main reasons I rooted my phone. Thanks.

you can simply change it by apps like lcd density/rom tool box. i get used to modify the build.prop.

I cannot post a screenshoot right now.But its the same thing you posted.And another stupid question is coming lol Do you have the app setting checked from within xposed installer?I have a feeling that it might be the problem.You need to check the module from within 1st in order for it to work.
Also guys when you want to change your phone DPI,and not do it app by app you can use Texdroider its in the store.
It's all checked and turned on. Oh well. Guess I'll just use the Lenovo camera. Thanks anyway.
