lol....
not even to see how good it looks?

Can't really tell too much unless you're at 200. It definitely look good at 200, but not very usable.

I never used the app, but if you use root explorer or pull the /system/build.prop file and change the density in there it looks great and never reboots. Some things dont fit on the screen right, which is annoying, but otherwise its fine.

I do this and use lcd changer to do the reboot. For some reason when I do the build.prop method only all my apps dont fit the screen.So I make change and use lcd to reboot. I usually go to about 225.

LCD Density

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

camera app and 185 LCD Density

Hello
Im using LCD Density 185 and everything is looking better, but some apps gets crazy but I only thing that I think is most annoying is the camera app and the icons, is it possible to make the camera app look as good as it does when using standard LCD Density of 240?
thanks!

Have you tried spare parts from market

yes if you mean when remove the check from Compatibility Mode... when using CyanogenMod 7 the camera app still looks good, but when using the built in camera app from LG, Samsung etc the camera app goes crazy when changing the LCD Density.

bump!
im using the lcd density at 200 and the camera app and some other apps get weird, but i really like how it looks and im using ADW launcher ex so now im using 6x6 on the home screens and everything looks great exept for some apps

Why bump this for telling how you like it.

sorry, it was for finding a fix for the camera app and the dialer that arent resizing to the new lcd density

If the value is set below 182 , camera app will force close.
This is the lowest u can go if u want a functioning camera.

I'd be interested in knowing if the camera app can be modded to work ok on other LCD density's.
I love cognition rom at 200-220 but the camera app is the only problem as the icons are misaligned but the functionality of the app is great

I too am interested in this as i am on Cognitions rom and the camera app is a bit jumbled up on 200dpi. Also I cannot download the paid for lcd density app as it says my device is not compatible. I am using the free one but it resets with every reboot. Any ideas?

Root explorer, navigate to system, mount system r/w then edit build.prop.
Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density=240, change the 240 to whatever. I run 200.
Hit menu button, save, the original will be saved with .bak and reboot. Permanent density change

LCD density

I'd like a bit more hi Res on my desktop and have heard u can change the density. Can anyone rwccomend a good setting or offer advice on this?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

You need to edit your build.prop found in /system.
Find the line,
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=
The default value on most ROMs is 240.
Anything lower will give the impression of a higher resolution.

Can u recommend a setting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I usually run 220 on MIUI without any problems. And 190 on CM7.
Some apps don't scale to the new resolution.

Ok I thought adjusting this would make things smaller. But I see no visible difference
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

What ROM are you using?
It should make things smaller, It won't however give you more widget locations. You'd need to use LauncherPro for that.

A friend has a hd2 and is set at 167 is it wise to go that low with dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I've never gone below 180. Not through fear, just happy with how it looks.
167 may be a little low. You won't do any damage by trying.

I'm running 160 on CM without any problems whatsoever(but be aware that you have to disable compatibility mode in spare parts). If it doesn't look smaller, then you're not doing something right... How did you change the value?

Did you reboot after saving it?

CM9 LCD Density

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.
