So you can see what it will look like in both portrait and landscape.

And all the 1280x800 wallpapers everyone said is correct for Nexus 7 are no good either, can't use the whole image The cropped parts are just too zoomed in and don't look high-res.
I'm having better luck using my 1920x1080 wallpapers on it.
I would recommend searching for 2560. It yields results for both 2560x1440 and 2560x1600.
This is where I looked for mine.

If you don't use a launcher that rotates, you can use Wallpaper Wizardry from the Play Store to set the wallpaper to use the whole 1280x800 image. If you allow your launcher to rotate to landscape the image will be cropped and have black bars on the sides.

wallpaper wizardrys black bars in landscape are what annoy me, i wish there was a solution where we could crop both landscape and portrait separately in stock Google

Once again I will ask, because I haven't found anything yet.
Is it possible to modify the N7-launcher (or maybe Trebuchet, since I'm running CM 10.1) to match the look of the Nexus 10-launcher in landscape mode?
What I mean is this: http://cdn2.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/7189289/DSC_2121-hero_large_verge_super_wide.jpg
As you can see, in landscape it preserves the layout we only have in portrait.

I knew that, but it really is small. Not the launcher, but the rest. I think you gave me an idea: If I use PA, I could just set Trebuchet to 160dpi - maybe that should work.

Why would you want to strain your eyes using DPI 160?

I don't want to, that's why I don't simply set the density to 160 dpi!
Using PA works great. I've set everything to stock 213 dpi, except from the launcher. It is set to 160 dpi, 720p. That works the way it should and the smaller icons on the launcher are really ok.

Hey,
So my phone is a 303k and has a resolution of 768x1184 as opposed to the advertised 768x1280. This is extremely weird!
What are your guys resolutions?
Here's an app to check your resolution

It is 768x1280, but apps only have 768x1184 available to them because the on screen buttons take up some real estate.

DUDE stop posting everywhere your phone is FINE its cause the nav bar
Guys!!! Its not the nave bar! Its the chrome browser or the app. Check the difference between chrom and aosp browser. I'll put pictures.

If you use PIE you can regain those pixels or you can even shrink it on certain ROMs.

Whoops, accidentally thanked your post. That was a complete mistake. What exactly is the problem here? Are you saying that you think your screen is not 1280x768, or is the text all pixelated? Because you just seem to be complaining about numbers on the screen, while you're having no actual problems with using the browser. Could you specify your exact problem, other than the fact that the numbers are off?

He's complaining about both I think. Because he thinks the screen is defective, he's starting to notice micro-imperfections, and attributing them to a messed up display. The display does have the full resolution advertised, which you're able to fully utilize in apps that support fullscreen mode, like some video applications. The nav bar is just part of the package, but there's no real dishonesty in the advertising or anything.
The reason you have the difference between Chrome and stock Android browser is because Chrome has a pseudo-fullscreen mode now that hides the address bar automatically.
Don't worry man. Your screen is just fine. Be happy that you have a Nexus 4. It's quite an extraordinary smartphone.

I realize this is a new phone but are there any good wallpapers for our screen resolution yet? I can't seem to find any at this resolution!!
Get Wallbase from the market and Simple Image Wallpaper Free. Simple Image is set as a live wallpaper so you'll have to check under Live Wallpapers. Use it to set the 1920x1080 wallpapers you find in Wallbase. There are more options in Simple Image.

Dear all,
I have been trying to adjust the lcd density by editing the build.prop, but somehow changing the value does not seem to have any effect. I also tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache via twrp after applying the build.prop edit, but still no luck.
My previous experiance with non samsung devices was just editing the build.prop and making a reboot to acheive the result.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok. Answering myself. Seems the build.prop has the density value listed twice. Once i changed it in both instances then all went ok. Btw, imho 160 dpi looks way better
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You mean you set both 160, I also noticed that the density value listed twice too, because I am thinking of switching my Tab 3 7.0 to PhoneUI. Phone, Contacts, Messages & Email in TabletUI are annoying. The column for names of peoples in portrait mode is too small.
Yup. Switched both to 160. Now it looks like this

Another nice thing i discovered is that the multi window thing now opens apps in floating popups rather the the split screen. Afaik this is the way its done on the bigger screen tabs.
The downturn of this is that you cannot drag the windows around the screen and cannot resize those.
Could it possibly be that someone has an idea of how to port the functionality from the eg 10.1 model?
Could assume that this might take a replacement of the flashservice apk by another one.
What do you ppl think?

hi, i just rooted my tab3 8inch and installed xpose framework and app setting module,
from here you can set per app DPI setting instead of change the whole DPI.
i have notice that Gmail and G+ app look awesome with 160 DPI and 800x1280 DP
Hi. And thanks for the heads up. Though i am fully aware of the xposed app settings, but i do preferr the whole system at 160 dpi seems to make a much better use of the screen real estate...
What i was wondering was if its possible to port the multi window where you can actually drag windows around the screen that ive seen in a review of a bigger tab 3...
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok... so hg need help!
Changed the build prop to 160 in 2 places where screen density was mentioned. One had the value 213 and the other 320.
Rebooted and now the tab wont get past the samsung logo right before the lockscreen... any ideas?

Sent from my SM-T310 using xda premium
Well for the android there are some standard dpi's like 160, 240, 360, 480 are the ones i can remeber...
Most of the apps should support all of these, but no guarantee for the samsung stuff. For me 160 is the daily driver and i use xposed with the app setting plugin for the things that look weird
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ive been fumbling around a little bit and found out that 188 dpi looks best for me as it keeps the text a little bit bigger. Im also using the xposed mod to setup individual apps to my liking as playstore and youtube to large screen tablet ui. Couldnt find a dpi for the gallery to always display the thumbnails without cutting a bit of the right side margin. Thx for your help.

Yeah I checked mine, only one in build.prop I have the 10.1 and its 160dpi stock.
Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk 4
Im on the 7" (210R) and edited the line I would think is necessary (lcd.density.etc - as usual with minor changes only for different types). Their is not 2 lines in this one, but their is one. Changed, fixed the permission set back, guess I cant fix permissions in Philz Touch 5, and thats weird. It was originally 240, now 160, and i see no difference. lol Havnt done the xposed route yet with this, but I would only use that for some apps to change either back or to a different dpi. Its very odd.
^^^^^ you try setting the permissions for buildprop manually using something like root explorer?

That's how I edited it, and actually screwed it up. Had to make a flashable build.prop to get back to normal. I guess their are issues with these tablets and editing build.prop. made a flashable build.prop with 160 dpi to no avail.
