I don't know for sure but I would guess at no as 240 is a standard dpi for many devices, whereas if your changing from a device that started at 240 then it will 9 times out of 10 be something obscure that apps dont list as compatible with even though most the time it is..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Hey guys, I will answer all of your questions later today. For now i wanted to let you guys know that i created a thread to discuss modded lcd density for the Galaxy Nexus. The discussion in this thread should be related to this mod, and if you want to discuss any other dpi related things (gmail, market, etc) they can go in the dpi thread:

Can i have another download link as my country has blocked megaupload, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Great job man. Does it also work on a density of 260 or 280? Or are things getting overlapped at a larger density.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
I do not modify the size of the icons, i just allow for more on the screen. The 6x6 grid is pretty packed as is on a 240 dpi display that if you ran it on 260 or 280 my guess is the outer icons will be chopped off, or half showing (based on how it looks in 320).

240 dpi will definitely give you better compatibility across apps, but if that is too small for you i can see where you are coming from. If i made a 5x5 grid one it might work on 260/280.

Crashing during search input in Market app

Please can anybody, who has 7x6 and 241 dpi, try to play with search bar in Market app. Mainly deleting typed word, in the search, will cause crash and auto restart of my device. And I am not sure if its because of this mod, or revoution hd rom. Thxvm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clifton23:
any chance of this MOD getting updated any time soon?

Landscape for 241dpi does not work. This mod is an absolute necessity for me running 241dpi, its the ****!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
You better off using Nova Launcher.

The stuck menu bug, was driving me crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
This is the only launcher that supposed to work with 240dpi properly but it has too many bugs, like if placing a widget wrong the lancher crashes & you have to change to horizontal or vertical to reset the launcher.

Oh, Nova launcher cant handle 240dpi, just try placing an icon & you'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Its working great for me, so I don't see :confused:

Desktop Grid: Row 7, Columns 6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
What are your columns / rows as every combination ive tried has monged the swiping after placing an icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clifton23:
:eek: was not aware nova launcher was working at 240/241.

will try this. THANKS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
nova is not working well in app drawer, it becomes 6x6 when its meant to be 7x6.

then when you go landscape, it becomes 5x6... which isn't fitting to 240dpi at all..

so this is the dilemma, fully working widgets vs fully working desktop/appdrawer.

Choosing the latter at this point.

btw, whats all the hoopla over of using 241?

using 240, everything except widgets (not fully) works, plus market is totally fine at 240..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
The Google music app doesn't work at 240, it's all overlapping. Other Google apps work but look funky at 240. I prefer using 241 everything works at this dpi except landscape mode and market ( could use OP trick for shutting off market updater to get market to function at 241)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Captain Splash:
Installed this today its sweet as a nut. Not had a crash or any other problems so far. It is a thing of beauty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
I really like Nova launcher, but I prefer this one.

Really hope it hasn't been abandoned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovale:
What agenda widget is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Captain Splash:
Andriod Pro Widget (Paid version)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Have you tried resizing it? So it fits from edge to edge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
I can confirm Nova b8 works ok at 240dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Captain Splash:
I resized it to put it in the position in the screen shot. I don't gain anything from edge to edge as the all the info in the widget is only that width (if you get my drift). I just end up taking up more screen real estate and don't get any benefit from it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neovale:
Ah, ok, thanks =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jairmoreno:
Which theme are you using on the widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryands991:
For those who get stuck in the app drawer, here is how to fix it without having to reboot.

1. Pull down your Notification bar.

2. Go into Settings

3. Select "Apps"

4. Select the "All" tab.

5. Select BRD Launcher

6. Force Stop

now the launcher will restart, and you'll have your homescreen again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Triple-z:
- Resize all widgets! (After adding a widget, pick it up and drop it again to enter resize mode)

how i can make this on other launcher's also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
And on Beta 10. Nova is looking like the launcher for us now.... If you try it, make sure you push it to /system/app manually or with his update.zip in recovery. I'm having a really hard time finding a bug in beta 10.

I will miss BRD Launcher, but Nova does it all and works. If BRD gets updated I'd consider switching back. I'm still a fan of the birdman!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
Nope, landscape app drawer on nova still doesn't work...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheami:
Is there a way to remove homescreens? I only want the middle homescreen and don't like accidently scrolling to another screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biglipps66:
Ya you need to copy the apk to system/app and reboot after you install it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icfatpeople:
I'm having this issue to, but only with gummy 5.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myxcon:
It's prolly because of the navbar mod (to enable/disable search button) that made the navbar dpi dependant. Same as in bigxie's v8 rom. He said he will try to make it dpi independent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chmcclellan:
Is there a way to change the number of homescreens?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbyhawaii:
Soft Buttons

Did anyone figure out how to center the soft keys after changing the screen density. All of the buttons are still more towards the left of the screen rather then centered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moverich:
I think it depends on the ROM installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierre118:
That's right. I use AOPK M3, and the softkeys are perfectly centered.

Good luck indeed, the OP could easily re-up the launcher, but decided not to as there is no money in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rocko13:
Well since no one wants to help, is there perhaps a substitute launcher than can do what this launcher does as far as getting the most real estate from the screen. Adding as many icons and and all that good stuff? If anyone can post up some input...greatly appreciated.

Mayhe we can find a better launcher, that doesnt quite do anything differently than whay brd launcher does...its such a shame. Its a good launcher, with no support. Maybe someone will pick up where he left off...

I'll post a link to the file I have. It may be dead....but I can't live without it XD to me the stock launcher 4x4 looks too ugly. Plus the ridiculous amount of space!!

7x6 no search bar

http://www.mediafire.com/?mmuevdw01tma4r3

side note: it works with Android Revolution HD 3.0 with ICS 404

related note: without the search bar it glitches the sizes for some stock apps. my music widget is 7x3....which doesn't fit :C so I'm using the 0 knowledge I have to decompile the apk file i have, allow the search bar to be shown and hoping that it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s0larus:
i've tried my best to decompile and recompile an edited launcher...but i have 0 knowledge on the exact way to do it so instead I found an alternative: Nova Launcher. It works with 240, 241 or just 320dpi (as far as I've seen) and it has quite a lot of customization options.

the ontacts have cnanged but there are still 5 icon row in the launcher and everything squeesed in the dawarer

Try and rename /system/app/Launcher2.odex to Launcher2.odex.bak using adb or root file explorer. I think that file could be affecting it.

any chance we can get a version with the search bar gone so we can use that space?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Using 240dpi is awesome but its messed up my Kindle app :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Can you explain more what is wrong with it? Does it crash, or does it just have some graphical glitches? I would like to put it in the official lcd density modding thread for others to see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
It still works but the app must think I'm on a tablet. The text is now centered in the middle and there is a large amount of paddling around it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Nothing at all is wrong with it! Only issues are with apps that don't support the dpi. The latest twitter is a bit odd.... but most apps work just like normal. The best thing is ICS formats everything to tablet so all the Google apps are awesome and work great!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Cannot find the carpet system with ES File Explorer, i have checked the boxes in the root settings, even tho i didnt back up a ****, and just flashed your launcher, this thing is beautiful!!!

So i guess in a very rare case i want to go back to 340, i will need to download a new launcher from the market?? or could be a good idea if you could post as well the .zip with the default launcher so we can flash it??

And i guess i will need to do the hole procedure everytime i flash a new ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Thats the only thing it takes time to flash it but totally worth it. The no google search bar mod is an easy flash back to 340. But 1+ on the stock zip so it would be easy to flash back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
:confused:

Flash the another modded launcher over this one? Wouldn't that mess up the homescreen as its not been 240dpi optimised?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
If you flash other launcher it will mess up the homescreen/icons in 240.

For 240 you need the launcher posted in the main page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Changing the dpi is the easy bit...... just get any dpi app from the market then stop and think for a second...... I want smaller icons first then flash the launcher.... If you want to go back....flash backwards first the small launcher then change dpi. Basically you just don't want a launcher that you can't see because your launcher outside the screen....if that makes any sense.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Does anybody has the issue where the phone reboot?? it happens when i use the market!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Ok, hopefully this post will help clear up any confusion.

1. If you flash the no search bar modded launcher it will replace this one, and since it is not 240 dpi optimized it will most likely look weird. It also doesn't support as many homescreen icons. Your only option is to wait for me to come out with a no search bar version of this mod, or for the no search bar guy to come out with a 240 dpi optimized version of his launcher.

2. Since there is some interest in the no search bar mod for this launcher, i will work on making one. No promises on when it is coming, but hopefully within a few days.

3. I will post the stock Launcher.apk as a flashable zip soon for people that want to go back.

4. Everytime you flash a new rom you will most likely need to flash this again, as the rom will override this with the launcher provided in the rom. I would like to make this as a standalone launcher, but alas i have not figured out how to do that yet (if even possible, because some of the code seems tied to the framework).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
Keep the 240 dpi optimized ICS launcher on your phone, no need to overwrite it with another one. Simply install some other launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher EX, anything!

Then, when you do need to use 320 for whatever reason, clear defaults on stock launcher, switch DPI, select the alternative launcher when asked for which launcher to load. Simple really ;)

Other launchers are dpi aware and will function better than ICS launcher when lowering the dpi.

To be fair I've not tried other launchers on my Nexus yet, enjoying the stock ICS feel vs stock Gingerbread with Launcher Pro on an SGS2 at 191 dpi! :) Stock dpi on SGS2 was 240.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thrillhouse847:
Yes, but only when using certain apps or certain features of apps. For example, when trying to search in the market the phone will always reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Thanks for your work man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Interesting try searching in landscape. I can get it to close every 5th or so search in portrait mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Exactly!! i just edited my previous comment. So is there a fix for this, because i mean.. the market is an important app!

So far this phone in 240 dpi is the best.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

clear defaults on stock launcher?? how ? and why you prefer be 320dpi in the nexus?? seems that you haven't tasted it in 240... there is no comparison!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LadFromWales85:
I am guessing you misunderstood my post, or I didn't write it clear enough.

I am using 240dpi on my Nexus, and was using it before this mod come along, with another launcher. I now use 240dpi with this modified ICS launcher.

The reason for clearing defaults on the standard launcher when switching to 320dpi for whatever reason people above were discussing, is so that Android will ask which launcher to run when pressing home, allowing the user to select another launcher that works fine at 320dpi, allowing them to complete such tasks as required at that dpi, before switching back to 240dpi and allowing ICS launcher to become default again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Oh i see. But respecting the clearing defaults, i mean the procedure to do it so the phone ask me what launcher to use...

i have trying to use the market on landscape as my friend danny told, but we should find an absolute fix.

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaredsk74:
I did once, after I tried to use the youtube app (which is having issues sadly). Otherwise this is an awesome mod.

Edit: I got a second reboot. It seems to have something to do with searching in the market, both times I tried to search for something when it happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
What ROMs/Kernels are you guys using? I have never had the phone crash or reboot on the market ever in 240 dpi. It sometimes fails to connect, but i assume that is a cellular network problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pinhead875:
It doesn't FC for me, but in landscape it looks funky. See screen shot.

EDIT: Fast forward button overlaps Repeat button, among the app just looking funny (also looks pretty bad in landscape mode).
