Works on Xperia X10

Works on my X10 as a charm... without any issues... 180 or 200 works best.
[Android Apps and Games] neilaur:
Work with a hero but my keyboard isn't resized... :(

(Sorry for my english)
[Android Apps and Games] UniqueNate:
are you running a custom rom or something? I tried it on the hero and nothing happens. it ask for su permission and I select allow and choose my dpi and nothing happens.

Update:

I got it working now. Had to install busy box and tried again. It took a while and froze (so I thought) after my selection and then it rebooted. I'm good now. This pretty sweet. Has anybody tried it on Epic 4G? I assume it would work cause I thought I seen some post saying they tried it on a Galaxy S. Idk if they said it worked. I tested it on the Hero but if all is good on the Galaxy S family, then I'll try it on my Epic.
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
Confirming that it works fine on the Galaxy S.
[Android Apps and Games] lotacus:
thanks for the extra large QR-Code, didn't have to get up off the couch. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kevdawg:
What's your favorite size so far?

I am liking 180 on the G2.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjumper:
Liking 220 on the G2 myself.

Figured out the issue: "killall system_server" wasn't happening since paths weren't set up right.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarsalekjr:
Doesn't work on Streak. Click on desired resolution and no change.

[Android Apps and Games] eenbox:
Just installed and tested it on Tmobile HD2 with mccm 1.5 build - works like a charm!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] blockhead42:
I'm about the same on my X.

I see how this could be useful to add more rows to my homescreen, but is that the only benefit?
[Android Apps and Games] cmckee.cna:
OK got it to work on my incredible, just had to wait like a day or two for it to restart....
[Android Apps and Games] raydar670:
works pretty good on g1 running cm5, some apps don't scale and i think it's laggier, but it works :D

Edit: It looks so cool at 100, like i have an actual high res screen (hate u HVGA)
[Android Apps and Games] tuRtlez-:
Thanks.

Using this on HTC HD2 - and works.
[Android Apps and Games] Atento:
Works great in Nexus One, except some apps don't resize.
[Android Apps and Games] peepsnet:
reboot

I have a question about a piece of your app.

When I select a new resolution and apply it the phone reboots, but not a complete reboot. Is there a way to execute this command from a terminal window or know of an app to do this??

Don
[Android Apps and Games] galaxys:
So far so good on the Nexus One...cool :)
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
App is killing system service. You can try kill <pid of system service> in shell.
[Android Apps and Games] dasunsrule32:
or...

stop && start
[Android Apps and Games] Crey23:
This APP is awesome!!!!!!! It does to the home screen what I was trying to do through columns and rows on LP Pro!!! Too bad some apps have screen size defaults and look kinda crappy!.

I'm using a Temp Rooted G2 curruntly at setting 180 (but mostly its been 195). Still trying to find the right spot.

Thanks OP!
[Android Apps and Games] fahim_k:
I just downloaded the application and tried it out. Works really well so far, I am still playing around with the different densities.
[Android Apps and Games] zjjunior:
I tried out on my X10 mini and it works, but for a short time after this my phone reboots itselfs and changes back to normal density.

It was a bug or my phone doesn't support this app?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] johnsto:
Does using this app cause Android to change how it loads ldpi/mdpi/hdpi drawables?

Since I no longer have a ldpi/mdpi device to test my apps with, wondering if I can use this on my N1 to get a decent feel for how well my layouts and images are working on different screen sizes/dpis.

Edit: actually just reminded myself of relationship between DPI and screen dimensions, realised this wouldn't really help much!
[Android Apps and Games] vermaekansh:
I tired both 200 and 120 both are woking fine for me....nice app...no problem as of now...
[Android Apps and Games] composites:
Is there a way to run this app from the command line so I can run a script every time it boots that will set the density I want?
[Android Apps and Games] joshontech:
app wont work

I click on what density i want than press apply (restart) and nothing. On the top i get cutom 300 but no reboot or anything like the youtube video. Im currently running Fission 2.3.1 idk if that has something to do with it or not but i really need help. I'm trying to fix the gingerbread keyboard thats why i need this.
[Android Apps and Games] tijs14tijs:
I used this on my sgs, i liked it but some apps didnt scale.

I reset the values and guess: everything has changed but not my games. Games build using canvas and sprites do NOT scale to the right. Reinstalling didnt work, build.prop editing was unsuccesfull too. ;( please help, mail tijs_maas[at!]hotmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] minotauri:
yea...

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density XXX
busybox killall system_server

change XXX to desired density
[Android Apps and Games] duucfho:
works great on my Eris running KaosFroyo v39. settings work fine all the way down to 100, though that's way too tiny for my taste. using 140 is just right if you want to increase to a 5x5 homescreen. though now i might have to shell out some loose change for the paid version of launcherpro so i can resize widgets (any free alternatives out there for resizing widgets?)

minor issue though. the app never tells me what the default or current setting is. it always says "no data". only the "to be set" column seems to work.
[Android Apps and Games] McFluffnStuff:
ADW has free widget resizing :D
[Android Apps and Games] thevoiceless:
This isn't working at all on my Incredible. I have busybox, I've granted root privileges...is that it? Selecting a resolution and then hitting "apply" does nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] BarkyJ:
Anyone tested this on a Galaxy GT-I5500 or 5503 etc?
[Android Apps and Games] menseken:
Hi!

your application is just what I was looking for.

BUT I have a problem with android 2.0 on my pocketbook IQ tablet/ereader.

i need to move a round symbol on the start screen to the right in order to unlock it - and thats only visible if i enlarge density by 20 points at most!

which is too little and a real pity!!!

do you see any solution/workaround for this problem???

thanks a lot for any helpful answe
[Android Apps and Games] mindas69:
works on Desire HD (Ace)!

Just to state that this app worked flawlessly to me on HTC Desire HD (Ace) with modes 240 (default), 220, 200 & 180. with adw ex, i was even able to set 6x6 cells in home, giving more space for widgets and shortcuts.

now, if at least app icons were to be scalable....
[Android Apps and Games] manekineko:
OP or anyone else, can you explain why lower numbers produce higher resolution screens?

I would have thought as the density decreases, the resolution would get smaller, and text would get bigger, but the opposite seems to be true.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
You are changing "screen density" - You are saying "I have display with big pixels (small density), I need to display more information in one pixel". Or "I have display with small pixels (large density), so I can't read small texts. Please display less information in one pixel so I can actually read something"
[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
Sorry for the bump. Also if it has been answered already, but has anyone tried this on an Eris?

(Legacy my butt.)
[Android Apps and Games] delicb:
Wow, how did I miss this until now..?

Works great with DHD and CM7 nightly...

Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] duucfho:
there is a "search this thread" button up top. don't be scared. it doesn't bite.
[Android Apps and Games] larsn84:
Hi

I was wondering what the risk is when changing your density?

I have a Desire HD with 4,3"LCD screen, and I remember reading something about someone having malfunctions when changing the density.

I can't remember which screentype it was, but I guess there's a difference between LCD and AMOLED in this matter.

Should I worry with my screen type, or just go ahead?

EDIT: Im thinking... over time, would I risk ruining my display?
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
works on 100 setting on Vodafone 845. changed adw launcher columns to 6 and rows to 7.

does slow the phone down though
[Android Apps and Games] tropicanapure:
Works erratically, causes occasional reboots and also appears to slightly mess up the on screen elements (but I am guessing that's not your fault).

Setting used 200 and my ROM details in my sig. Used latest version from market.
[Android Apps and Games] bluxart:
Like tropicanapure said, it causes occasional reboots for me as well. I tried it once and just moving the slider soft-rebooted my phone. It came back on and I changed my density successfully. I tried changing it again, but then it completely turned off my phone. It wasn't even a regular reboot, it just shut off. I turned it back on and changed my density and everything was working fine, however, the dialer wouldnt open up. My shortcut on my dock took me to recent, but when I clicked on the dialer tab, it just went back to my homescreen. I also tried going through the app menu and the same thing happened.

So, unfortunately, I had to uninstall the app. I'll try it again when it's updated.

Also, I'm on a rooted Droid X with stock 2.3.340 ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Destke:
Does not work on Galaxy S. The Density does, but a lot of widgets and android apps make crashes after changing. Even after changing it back.
[Android Apps and Games] cyanide911:
Wait, I don't get it. What does this app do and what is it's use? It sounds interesting :D

EDIT: How can a software change pixel density? Or is 'LCD' density different?
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
Oh, it doesn't work on rooted Optimus 2X with stock 2.2.2 (I sent an email too), just reboots as normal.

What could be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
Android have "virtual" parameter for LCD density. So all graphics and layouts are calculated using this parameter, not true density. Basically this software changes that parameter.

Android is made to show UI on different screens almost equally (something like iOS and Retina displays).

It could be modifications in Android source. After reboot - do You get Your density value in app? Or it's default?

If You get Your value - I'll not be able to help it (it means system is not reading it anymore)

If You get default value - are You willing to help me with searching for correct reboot command for Your phone? :)
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
I get the default, 240 (though it says "Current (custom)" at the top).

If there's any way that I can help you - please, just tell me what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
Please try (through adb or terminal) these combinations of commands and report results:

(Desired density 200, real density 240)

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200
getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density

Should return 200

If it doesn't work that way then something strange is happening on Your device...

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200
stop && start

getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density

Should restart phone and return 200 after restart

If it doesn't help, try to replace stop && start with one of those:

killall system_server
busybox killall system_server
kill $(ps | grep system_server | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)
busybox kill $(ps | grep system_server | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)

If You get bootloops, remove battery or make full restart.

You may try to change 200 with another density value.
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
In ADB shell, when I try "$setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200", it says "setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200", but when I directly after that try "$getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density" it gives me "getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density" and an empty row.

Even though I stop and start the service, it gives me the same empty row. :(

Is there anything else that could do it?
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
$ means You haven't root access. Try to run su before entering commands (so that Your shell would be #)

Here sample output (without su)

elviss@elviss-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ adb shell
/ # setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 200
/ # getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density
200
/ #
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
Now I got 200 returned, thanks! :)

How do I continue? Should I reboot it using stop $$ start?

EDIT: Now it worked with stop && start :)

Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] Androidboy35961:
I don't really see much of a difference on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
Please test new pre-release of LCDDensity in attachment :)

Now with selectable reboot methods + stop && start working (ssdaemon).
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
Yays, it works! Thank you!

Only problem I have is that it resets to 240 whenever I do a full reboot of the phone (did that before, too). Is there any way to fix that right now, or should I wait for some custom ROM?

Thank you again!

FYI changing fonts (with Type Fresh) seem to withstand a full reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
It's designed not to save changes after full reboot. Only known way to use non-standart density all the time is by modifying build.prop file.
[Android Apps and Games] swefse:
Ok, then I see.

Thank you for everything!
[Android Apps and Games] sgsI9003:
I tried the v0.1.1 from market & that made my phone in hang state, had to force reboot, tried once again but it was producing lag to the whole UI hence uninstalled it.

From the market link I came here but now I see you have posted another latest version, will try that & report back.
[Android Apps and Games] hernan078:
hi im using your app on my captivate with CM7, i use your app, but when i select 200 the phone boot without signal, what could be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] makjack:
Thanks man! Worked great on m Optimus one.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
Please provide logcat from boot.
[Android Apps and Games] raider700:
That's a really nice function!

I will try it within the next days :)

Would be great it it works on my tablet ...
[Android Apps and Games] ralphtrent:
I have the original droid and set the setting to 280 just as a test and now I have endless reboots. It will not stop. Any thoughts?

After abougt 20 reboots, it stopped, and settings web back to 240. That was weird.
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
If You have reboot loop, You may try to make full reboot (with first, static, splash screen) or pull battery. Then phone will forget any changes made by this app.
[Android Apps and Games] shreeyash:
very nice mate!

works like a charm!!!
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:

[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
howdy all. i haven't used a sense rom for ages and have a question which i have a feeling is not gonna have the answer i want.

i use lcd desnity to up the res of the phone and on non sense roms it works a treat. it lets me up the res on this rom but i can't see a way to increase the number of columns/rows in there. i'm assuming that's a sense limitation? as an example, on aosp roms i had it at 7 columns and 6 rows. everything i had fitted on 3 screens like that.

is there a way to do this with sense?

ta for any reply
[Android Apps and Games] ex87:
Try alternative home apps (like Launcher Pro or ADW).
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
i've used it in the past with adw launcher just fine with aosp roms, but wanted to try a sense 3.0 rom. using another launcher would kinda defeat the purpose
[Android Apps and Games] 4thephil:
Exactly :) I have Sense 3.0 with the HTC Evo 3D, Perma-Temp rooted it, but it's a no-go so far. Black screen and freezes, requires battery pull. E-mailed Dev about it, hopefully can get it straightened out :) I love my Evo 3D, but hate how small everything is on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] edxmon:
Changes the density on Xperia X8 using Racht's Floyo .30, but it crashes/reboots the phone
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Sense, touchwiz and probably other "stock" launchers do not support higher (lower) density

If you want a stock phone where not much fits on the screen, use sense.

If you want 5 rows use adw.

Working on LG Optimus V (virgin mobile) with Bumblebee 2.4 ROM.

160 is default density. Tested 140 & 120 & 100. 140 & 120 work fine with all apps and widgets. ! 100 Widgetsoid widgets & Battery Monitor Widget Pro fail to load but 100 still works for the rest of the Home Screen and system.

Love the APP. thx!!

Is there any way to troubleshoot the ssdaemon reboot method not working? I'm using CM7.1 and I figured it would surely support whatever the most advanced method is, but it does nothing unless I select kill.
[Android Apps and Games] Chad_Petree:
Will these work on an inspire 4g using sense 3.5? And what about a galaxy s ii with touchwiz ? I can use if I install adw or go launcher ? Or do i have to use cm7?
[Android Apps and Games] Yerry:
First: Great App! Thanks!

Second: People should be aware that apps might disappear from market. Since the market might judge that an app is not compatible with selected density.

Third:

Could you add 320 density, to allow quick restore of default density on Galaxy Note

Hi,

have a Xoom, rooted with Adroid 3.2.

Installed last version of lcddensity (0.1.1). Started this. Software asked to get su-rights. I confirmed. Software asked for new resultion (list of optional one). I took a choise, but nothing changed, no error, no crash.

What is incorrect? Did I forget something? :confused::confused::confused:

Short hint would be great!!
[Android Apps and Games] metaldood:
Same here on Inspire. Only killall works.

Hi metaldood,

don't understand you. What do you mean with 'only killall works'?

Killall is not a App and not a command for Android?!?

I used LCD Density to change the DPI on my Asus Transformer Prime TF201. After restarting I am now receiving the error: "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped.", when I click "OK" it appears again for ever and ever. I have done a normal and a cold boot. As it is I can only access Settings, I cannot launch any applications.

Is there any way of fixing this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zarish:
Just curious which options script lines coincide with the choices in the application. Nice application by the way, work on my stock rooted Nexus 7 with a few quirks. ssdaemon option does not do anything. Kill and kill all options tend to act flaky for me often giving reboots, bad drawing elements or the UI has stopped messages. I ended up just setting the application to the Do Not Reboot option.

From inside the application I can set the value just fine. As I said, even apply it with reboot options of kill or killall, but with quirkiness and stability issues regardless of DPI chosen. From a terminal, issuing the "stop && start" works reliably and does not give me the same stability problem (well unless I choose really weird DPI). Command line FTW as usual.

Running Current version from Google Play.

Overall, thanks, great app as it is nice to have a quick temporary way to adjust.
