So I have been using Root Explorer to adjust my LCD Density but recently my adjustments haven't been taking affect. After making a change to the build.prop, I reboot my phone. No change has taken affect. I can go back in to the build.prop file and verify I have changed the value. Even when I use the LCD Density app it shows that my LCD density is 190 (screen resolution really isn't 190). I then set the density with the app and the resolution finally is at 190. Anybody else having this issue? I just hate having to readjust the LCD density after every reboot.
Thanks

Go into settings (LCD Density app) and set it to "Save as System density" then apply and then click the test button

So has anyone tried to change the density on the galaxy 3, screenshots perhaps?
Why?
The best is set by default.
Cause it does'nt look like it's the best. Every LCD display has one specific resolution that is the sharpest and clearest.
The fonts certainly dont look like the display is running at native resolution, but the rest does so maybe its a font problem.
Default density is 120, cannot be lower.
I we test the app and it doesnt work on my Galaxy 3, later I have found that some G3 user said that that app messed the screen and that he cant unlock any more (digitizer data differ from the real situation)...

same here can do the density change but you will be stuck @ unclock glass green => u can not unclock the phone anymore => reflash is the only way... do it with caution!
This is with the stock launcher, adw is imo the best for density changes.
One is with default (120) the other is with 100. I also tried 90 but it is too low.
You can unlock if you swipe up/down. I didn't manage with a left/right swipe
Also if you are scared just use a temp change (doesnt save the settings and on cold reboot restores default).
Its safe.
I usually keep the default setting and temp change when I need the change

I've written a software that edit build.prop but it seems that's not enough since the resolution does not change (but i've installed LCD density changer before )
- dalvik.vm.heapsize
- ro.sf.lcd_density
Looking for some informations, others apps use busybox to tweak this parameters without modifying build.prop. Where can i found some help about thoses points ?
Any comments would be helpfull !
Thx
Did you try doing a reboot after editing it? I know the LCD density app does a hot reboot to take effect

've rebooted but the params are clearly not taken into account.
Maybe a previous installation of LCD density have tweaked the system directly
using a script or variable that override build.conf.
I'm a beginner trying to offer all thoses services in a widget but this is a long way
Just wondering if any owners tried changing the density manually or with lcddensity. Wondering if touchwiz recognize any change in the density. Would love to change this to 200
Will definitely be playing around with the density when I receive mine.
I'm just curious as to what changing the density actually does. Since obviously you can't physically change the screen density, what is the advantage of tricking the phone into thinking it's different via software?

Usually changing the density makes the screen look more high res by making everything smaller and fitting more information on the screen. If your still using your galaxy s try out lcddensity and change to 200. Touchwiz on 1st galaxy s didnt adjust well to changing the density. default is using 240
Was the first thing i did. Set mine to 202 out if habbit, as most devices get issues with wonky UIs at 200 or below.
Device looks great on 202. The only thing that distorts slight is the quick access tools ( sound and screen rotation only) in the notification bar.
The posituve outweighs the nefative for me.

can you take a screen shot? im wondering what the app menu looks like.
+1 for screenshot. I run my DHD at 190. I use LCD Density Changer which has a compatibility mode to make problem apps run full screen, but it needs root
Have been using LCD Density changer from 240 to 220 dpi on the gorgeous super AMOLED plus screen.
Only recently I realised that in the Android Market the install/download button does not appear when this resolution is changed from default. If I were to set to 240, it is OK. However this does not affect all apps. Searching apps is fine, just not able to install/download.
Now I have to change to default 240 to install certain apps then change to desired resolution.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
In short, there's no permanent fix that I now of, but just a warning:
Use an app like LCD Density Changer in the Market so you can safely toggle the resolution without getting stuck and needing to wipe your data
If you set the resolution in the build.prop below 240 it not only removes the download/install from the page in the Market but with the latest Market version it also gives a message highlighted in bright yellow that the application in not compatible with the device. I also found that even if I changed the build.prop line back to 240 and rebooted I was stuck without access to the majority of the apps I use. I had to wipe data to fix the problem.
What I'm doing is leaving my resolution at 210 and once a week switching back to 240 to update any apps that need updating. Occasionally I have to switch the resolution to download a new app as well. It's not exactly convenient, but it works.
I had changed my lcd density to 380 to get a better looking screen, but I noticed my camera was all messed up.
So I put my density back to 480, and now I am unable to download a lot of common apps from the play store!
For example...Weather Bug, Candy Crush, etc....
I am on T-Mobile variant.
I only changed this line in the build prop: ro.sf.lcd_density=480
Am I forgetting to do something else?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Well first of all, use the textdroider_dpi app to change the dpi instead of changing the prop file.
I believe that's the proper method as some other files are affected together. Experts correct me if I'm wrong.
And when the camera screws up, install Xposed and use the module "App settings" to change the dpi of only camera to stock. That will do the trick.
Clear data etc from market and try again.
