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.

....assuming you mean the UI then try some of the Launchers available from the market. My personal favourite is LauncherPro which is very customisable.
....otherwise you surely didnt mean the wallpaper
If you're talking about the status bar and icons etc. you need to be rooted and flash framework mods. if you just mean the homescreens, dl a launcher like launcher pro or adw.
Thanks for all your replies.
I meant the APPEARANCE Black colour. Eg. This white and blue xda app appearance
Should I say skin in other words?

Yep. Skin might be a better way to put it. Various apps are 'skinable' and will allow you to change colours etc. If you mean the XDA app then to be honest i dont use it.
For any particular app try searching the app name and 'skin'.
can anyone give me a link to framwork-mod for HTC wildfire??

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.

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!

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

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

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?
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.
