Change LCD density and keep standard size of apps

I'm trying a few different builds and noticed that some apps become smaller, is there any trick to change the density and keep the original size of apps? In Americanandroid tons I can change density and for example my ndrive navigation software runs in fullscreen but in other builds it runs smaller..
Thank you guys.

Hey, did you uncheck compatibility mode in spare parts? Don't forget to reboot after this magic trick

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?

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?

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

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.

Using leedroid 3.1.3
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?

Change Resolution?

I'm using the Darkside Sense 3.5 Rom and everything just seems a little too big. Is there a way to make the screen resolution higher so that it so the icons don't look so clunky?

but if u change the density some apps will look to small or off set like the camera app and the all app drawer will not cover the whole screen . u should try the black ice port if u want a smaller cleaner look with out these problems . but be advised the market will remove a lot of apps regardless .

with sense i usually go with a density of 180, but some apps will be a lil off, and not aligned, but if you want, try a aosp rom and use density app. you will have a way cleaner look.

Sense 4 style dock

Hey guys .. I came across this sense 4 style mod dock which can be installed as a normal apk
I take no credit for this mod.. Just found it randomly on internet

thx, it works great with rooted stock GB. although it behaves somewhat like stock android, i.e. sense widgets from GB can't be placed on home screen. wierd, but there are always alternatives from play store...nice find!!

You can try, I'm not sure

Lost sound after flashing Beats Audio mod

Hi all. Today I flashed the beats audio mod on top of my existing ROM (BlackICE v1.60) and lost all my sound. My question is: If I reflash BlackICE would it get rid of the Beats audio mod?
Cheers in advance..

Refalshing black ice will get rid of beats mod. Happend to me on ice cold, re flashing rom will fix it
Sent from my HTC ONE X... Lol jk -__-

of course if you reflash the rom, you will have the new rom, everything you've changed will get lost, so go ahead and do that

Yeah, just realised that after reflashing, thabks anyway guys. I've just noticed, but some apps aren't available after flashing (I could download them with CM7, IceColdSandwich & stock sense 3.0). Is is cause the dpi has been changed?

Most likely. Apps in the market look at your dpi to make sure they will work, if you change it to something the app doesnt support then you wont be able to DL them

Is there any way to trick the Play Store into thinking I have a different dpi without actually changing it?

To be honest I am not sure. I dont change my dpi at all due to these issues and apps will FC if used on a DPI that it doesnt support sometimes. I think there maybe a market that ignores the dpi but like I said I am not sure.

If u download lcd density Modder pro it has an option that allows you to change density and fix market compatibility issues by downloading a modded market I'm on dpi 200 and i can download all apps with no issues
