Change font size

Hi, someone know how change font size in system? maybe without apps
thanks

Have you try the LCD Density from the market?

changing font doesnt mean changin the density also
i kinda want the option too, using density reducing ur font too, but everything else also
it would be nice to reduce the font only since when i'm using another font, its too big for the icon app and ended up using 2 lines which is weird

Lcddensity

Hi guys,
I'm trying out LCDDensity and it works well except the space on each screen for icons does not change? By this i mean, when the resolution was at 240, i could fit 5 icons across. Now that i've changed it to 180, there is extra space on the right hand side but i can't put any icons on there.
Is that correct or is there a way around it?

That is correct. The stock launched has designated a 5x5 icon space on the homescreen. Changing your density won't change that.

I have mine set to 220. Doesn't add much real estate on the screen but the picture does look more crisp.

I've set mine to 182, so the camera app still looks nice and downloaded AWD launcher. This way I can change the number of icons to 8x8 instead of the stock 5x5 icons.

[Solved] Change system font size

Hi, can someone suggest what should i do to change system font size? I edited the build.prop file to put density to 110, but now font on menu press is cut out a bit on top so id like to change its size.
Btw 110 density is amazingly better than stock (120).
Edit: i deleted spare parts apk so scratch that method
Edit 2: solved

Softkeybar height

I know the nexus10 has a 2560x1600 Resolution but that includes the Softkeybar (Home, Back, Options) which we cant hide. We need the "real" usabable resolution so we dont get on trouble with image cropping etc.
Does anybody know exactly how high the Softkeybar on the Nexus10 is or what the "real" usable Resolution for the Nexus10 is? I googled already but cant find any usefull information.
Would be great to hear something from you guys.
Best regards
Philipp

Just a thought... take a screenshot. If it's less than 1600px high... minus the amount from 1600.

all screenshots i can find are 2560x1600. So that doesnt really help

I think it's 42dip.
for xxhdpi the ratio is about 1:3... So that would be about 126px (42px x 3).
EDIT:
Yep, this should help:

hm that confuses me. I measured it in photoshop on a 2560x1600 Screen shot and it was 96px. But i wanted to make sure so i hoped for some official info about that.
The DP stuff will be important when choosing sizes for UI Elementes but isnt relevant for the whole "whats resolution to work for" problem.
Isnt there any official Info about how many pixel of the screen height (in landscape mode) i loose to the Softkeybar?

This guide has some of the basic info for density calculations.
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
The value will be different depending on the device's current screen density, but below are the default calculations for the Nexus 10:
The navigation bar height is defined in framework-res as 48dp.
The device's screen density is defined in build.prop as 320.
The density ratio (screen density / android default density of 160) is 2.
48 * 2 = 96px so your measurement in photoshop is right.
You can also visually check using Settings > Developer options > Input subsection > Pointer location

I just come back to say yeah it was 48dp. I had changed mine using AOKP to 42dp.
The above post is good info.

I don`t use navigation bar or the notififcation bar.
On aokp roms i hide them with gmd gesture control. Very easy to navigate with gestures and have the whole screen real-estate to apps.

Zmax Pro T-mobile Looking to make the screen resolution higher?

Looking for the screen resolution to be smaller.
The font is set to small, actually looking for a tiny font.
In other words the screen fonts are to big, I guess.
Do I need to load a custom rom?
Thanks

you don't need a custom rom, you can update the displayDPI in your build.prop as long as you have root. You should be able to update the number to update the size of the elements on your screen, give it a quick google!

Use a custom launcher like nove you can force override font size there the Nova desktop settings for you Droid and gives you some pretty nice customization options for docks apps even allows you to build custom icons from gallery pics
