Hi,
My current DPI is 140 and I don't plan on changing that cause I love it.
I noticed several apps (the one that determined me to post this is WSOP: Hold'Em Legends) don't scale up to fullscreen. It stays at 1/4 of the screen and it is too small.
What can I do to be able to play these games full-screen?
Thanks.
I haven't found anything to fix the problems apps yet. I've run across several apps and games that are scaled wrong. I think its more of the way developers are building them.

I heard you cant change the font or the brightness in kindle when reading a ebook. I was wondering once you rooted the Kindle does this allow that option or is there an app that does this? How full fledged does the Kindle become when rooted? Does the rooting the Kindle only change the fact that you can now get apps from the Android Market and add some Google apps? Does it unlock anything else that makes the Kindle worth keeping?
I am only asking because My friend let me borrow his 10.1 tablet and i love it. It has all the options I need and my Kindle is coming in today. I did not buy the Kindle my girlfriend bought it without telling me but I really wanted the Nook Tablet which is a better 7 inch tablet and has the mic built in plus you can change the font and adjust the brightness. She has the amazon store card and they don't sell the Nook Tablet on Amazon of course, LOL. So before I open it It I would like to know if It's worth keeping?
Thanks in advance
The options for brightness and fonts are in the default settings. Rooting doesn't disable anything except streaming video (for now and that can be gotten around with things like OTA Rootkeeper).
Rooting for the moment pretty much just lets you get to the Market, yes, but in time it'll let you put custom rom's onto it and basically turn it into a normal tablet.
The Nook Tablet has better hardware, yes. If you don't care about the Amazon 'ecosystem' and don't mind the increase in price it may be more to your liking. Of course, so could some other tablet too.

That's true. You have to stop reading the book and go into settings and change the font or brightness.
Where do people "hear" this stuff?
I've been using mine 99% for comic cbr and cbzs. I haven't played with the actual ebooks yet, but I dont see why couldn't. And if you can't, use a different app. I've already grown fond of Aldiko reader since using it over a year on my phone. Version 1.x, I saw v. 2 and they took out half of the features. I've been meaning to check if they reenabled any but Aldiko lets you swipe control brightness and menu swap colors and what not.
You can change brightness, typeface, font size, lines spacing, margins, and color scheme from inside ebooks. Whoever you're hearing this from doesn't know what they're talking about.
And the nook tablet has a.locked bootloadrr and due to.some.other issues is now dead to developers. You can change brightness in books by taping the upper right corner.of.the screen. All other aspects are adjustable as well in the KF.

I can't post this in development, as I do not have a superior ranking in XDA. I have figured out a build.prop tweak that will make your Kindle Fire with ICS look like a Nexus 7. I am running the CM9 based off of SGT7 ROM. This might not work the same as it did on the ROM I am using.
This will most likely work on other tablets, but I cannot guarantee it.
THIS WILL CHANGE SOME OF YOUR APPS TO THE PHONE VERSION.

Now that the standard things have been said, on to the fun!
REQUIREMENTS:
ROOTED KINDLE FIRE
ICS INSTALLED ON DEVICE
Process:
Install any app that can modify the build.prop file.
Find the setting for LCD_density and change it to 170 or 213. 213 is the Galaxy Nexus Official DPI, therefore it will not break app compatibility.
The smaller the number, the smaller every element will be, (I.e. the status bar) so 161 will be the smallest with the nexus 7 interface.
Reboot your device and you should be done!
Congratulations! You now have the look of JellyBean on your device!
If you would like to change back, just switch the LCD_density to 160 again.

Cool finding but it will break many app compatibility including the Play Store.
It didn't for me...
Switching to anything above 160 will make it look like the Nexus 7. Im using it at the moment at 161, and haven't lost any compatibility.
Dont you need something like button savior?

You need button saviour. Otherwise you will have to restart every time you want to switch apps.

Not true
It you go to Settings>System>Conbined Bar, you have to check Navigation Bar, and you don't need anything like Button Savior.

Ok if you want the official DPI for the Galaxy Nexus it is 213 and it doesnt break app compatibility since it is a official DPI, it looks nicer than 170.
Thanks! I'll try that!
200 or 220 look sharper than 213

The point in 213 is that it won't break app compatibility.

NBA Jam is not compatible with this mode
I set it to 170, otherwise I couldn't get the navigation option, but the status bar is huge. I guess that's something fixed in 4.1?

I guess, the smaller you set the DPI, the smaller the elements get. How did you get those Widgets?

Hmm, well. I dunno.
As for the widgets, I used Desktop VisualizeR and hooked it with the doubleTwist playlist and Play Books shortcuts. And set it to use the best quality so my images wouldn't be blurred when resized.

Thanks for this tip, 170dpi looks great on my Fire using twa_priv's ROM.

Hey guys, just want to let you know that I found an app that will do this. It's called LCD Density Modder. It will change the DPI for you.
1. Is there currently any custom ROM or app that can tweak the color saturation system-wide? Back when I had a Captivate, most of the AOSP roms had voodoo color that allowed you to tweak color temp, saturation, and RGB values of the AMOLED screen, because it really needed it. The oob saturation of the N7 screen seems like it could use a boost when held next to my One X. I've already applied the PRISM patch but it's not washout that I have a problem with, it is system-wide saturation.
2. Is there a way, probably with a custom ROM, to get the nav bar (I think that's the name, home, back, recents bar) to stay on one side in landscape mode instead of taking up precious vertical screen real estate at the bottom of the screen?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if these have already been answered. It's tough to search in the XDA app.

something akin to iOS's high-contrast mode? I'm not talking about flashing a "dark" gapps. for example, I'm reading a PDF file at nighttime and the black-on-white hurts my eyes. I want to completely invert it, but the app only support native ebook filetypes .
please can someone point me in the right direction?

Some custom rom have dark mode, otherwise not that I know of.
You can get apps that darken them entire screen with a dark filter, but no inversion app.
