Ey!!
Maybe a silly question, but does somebody know how to change dpi on DHD?
I mean, my screen can handle 5 ''icons horizontally'' ,
how can I change the dpi to get for example 10 ''icons horizontally''.
Thanks in advance.
There's a thread here abouts for changing the DPI (although might only be if you have Cyanogen ROM) but the search I'm sure you'll do will bring it up.
Home Replacement apps like LauncherPro or ADWLauncher allow you to set number of icons but can be a bit hit or miss.
Thanks for your reply,
i got launcher pro, i made it 5icons horizontally en 4icons vertically.
if you make it more, the icons gets ugly, they dont fit normal, and some problems...
what it does, it makes the icons smaller but doesnt change the screens dpi i think.
i got stock rom.
The ugly icon issue is why I didn't bother changing it.
With a stock ROM, unless it's rooted I doubt you'll be able to change the DPI. I do recall someone mention an App but I memory serving it was for the Galaxy and tests failed on the DHD.

you can either edit the build.prop in /system or buy lcd density changer from the market ......

Both methods require root access (A rooted ROM).
true story, which makes mines NOT ROOTED xD
so i have to root it first..? no other solutions?
No you can't change your dpi without root.

I have set lcd density to 200 running cm rc2 and the icons look fuzzy (time looks fine though). Whats the problem?

Change the settings and try different numbers, you can use any rom and have lcd density, download it from the market.
I guess that wasnt clear - what roms are themed well enough to work with lower density?
Can someone attach lcd density here please.

open /system/build.prop in a text editor using root explorer and change the value there
ok thanks mate.

Its actually ADW not CM that's the issue I am running the iron man ADW theme and its fine with 200 density
I need help if anyone (who knows about developing) is willing to help me. I have a Sense 3.0 lockscreen and Rosie and in the lockscreen I need help to get the dock of the lockscreen higher cause mine compared to the actual sensation lockscreen is lower as well as the icons on the lockscreen. Pics are shown comparing mine to actual sensation. What I need help fixing in the Rosie is the Icons are to low and almost touch the dock and would like them higher like the actual sensation. I also have pics comparing the 2. I have the files here as a zip if your willing to help cause I would do it myself but im no dev and I tried but failed many times. I would really appreciate it if u can help.
IIRC that"s the best the devs could do with porting their higher resolution to our lower resolution.
What do u mean by IIRC

He meant
If I Remember Correctly
And he did but I hope you work it out.
Personally I am fine with where the icons are on Rosie but would like to move the ring up a little so the icons would have to move up also.
Well nyterage moved the dock up but it turns out that what we see on our current lockscreen dock is the whole image when putting the dock higher there is nothing below the dock which is very weird the lockscreen ring is movable though its a WIP
What files do u have to edit for the lockscreen cause i got an idea. edit I used lcd dencity changer and it made the dock as high as wanted but now the rest of the Rom is lower resolution. If we can just get the lcd density changer to work just on lockscreen.

Not sure about this. I had the same issues with font on stock E4GT. But if you happen to be using GO Launcher, you can go into menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Scan font>Font
This will let you choose from any font currently on your phone, whether one you uploaded or one associated with an app. Quick, easy and it sticks. Unfortunately this only works with GO so if you don't like GO or want to stick with stock you could also try Font Changer or Metamorph, both work on stock TW or any 3rd party launcher.
I've never been able to get it to stick.
If you happen to me rooted you can also change the dpi for your phone with an app:
LCD Resolution
or
ROM Toolbox
Bewarned though, TW launcher doesn't look quite right and you will likely want a custom launcher. But it will do the trick.
Just_s I have GO launchee and my font isn't the problem. Its the size of the font :-( and for the other guy I have tried the density changer and like my keyboard to stay big and I have to go back to 240dpi to install almost anyapp which is not worth running the density changer. So any way to keep my font smaller ? Like u can do usinf spare parts but make it stick and stop reverting
Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something

An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
I was excited to see ViperOne on the M9, since I've used it on my M7 for basically the last two years.
After having trouble with Revolution, I installed ViperOne and my problems went away. But one thing that is bothering me about it is the weirdly limited grid size. Even on my M7 with ViperOne I could set the grid to 5x6, but on my M9 I'm limited to 5x4 at max, but the default was 5x6 before root.
It might sound like a silly thing to be weird about, but the 5x4 grid size takes away the sleek look of the OS in my opinion, and also disrubts my need for a certain order.
Is there an option I'm missing to change the grid size that isn't in the app list? Or is there an app I can download that will allow me to adjust grid sizes?

Download textdroider. Change the dpi to 400. Sorted.
The app has no footprint on the phone, if you want to you can uninstall the app after modification
That changed the grid size of the home screen but not the app selection.

Really? It actually changes everything as you're altering the dpi output of the phone . So it should affect everything. Try a different dpi. Find the sweet spot. For me 400 is perfect and as far as I can remember it does change the app drawer, have you tried leedroid. That's my go to sense rom.

Yeah it just made everything super tiny but the apps remained the same grid, just more spread out. :/ I went all the way down to 380. Everything is too tiny now.
I don't want to reflaah right now either because I don't want to have to set everything up again, so I'm probably stuck with the app grid unless they do an update for it.
Or I decide I'm ready to redo everything again.
Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't an option on stock M9? I thought it was. But I do know ViperOne had 5x6 on M7. So it is weird that it would be different on M9.
