I changed my dpi to 280 to get a little bit smaller look to things. The issue I'm having is the lockscreen does not fill up the full screen anymore. I know there is a correction thing built in with the LG settings but settings is not one of the there, only downloaded apps. Anyone know a way to fix it? Using The Base Rom.

I changed down to 190 I'm trying to figure out how they incorporate tablet mode with app specific dpi for certain apps to run at 320 like the home launcher that crashes tablet mode is sweet on this device but not all apps work or work correctly at this dpi all main stuff like play store and settings work

To fix the lock screen go into lock screen settings and change image to something else then change back to the image you want and it corrects this issue

Tablet mode would be awesome. I have no idea how that whole system works without messing something up. I noticed that with the 280 dpi the camera app would not keep the pictures I took. The shutter worked but never saved the picture.
Thank you for the tip on the lockscreen image. I'll try it and see what I can figure out with the camera.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Yea the camera app needs to be run at 320 to work flawless, if you change your dpi to between 190 - 204 that turns tablet mode on, its sweet I suggest try it, but install a 3rd party launcher 1st otherwise it's a real pain to install 1 after but possible lol I had to do it that way because in tablet mode home launcher crashes and DOES NOT WORK lol, found out hard way

Sounds excellent! What do you recommend for the camera? I've got a two year old so quick pictures are a must for me.

How do you change the dpi?
Mod the build.prop with the ro.sf.lcd_density line. It's there just need to search for it.

Can anyone help me out with finding an app or mod that can disable the lock screen altogether? I've tried the No Lock app in the market and this makes my keyboard extremely sticky and laggy after some time. Even using Widgetlocker renders my keyboard unusable. My keyboard gets sticky whether I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard, smart keyboard or even swiftkey. So what I've gathered is that tinkering with my lock screen at all will make my touch screen buggy. Does anyone know of a work around so that I am able to disable the lock screen and get to my home page as fast as possible? Thanks much.
If you're rooted, try going into the system app and renaming the htclockscreen.apk. I wouldn't delete it, just rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.bak or something. In theory it should work and will get rid of the lockscreen all together. You can find it under system>apps>htclockscreen.apk
Thanks for the response. I'm currently using a senseless rom which means that I'm using the vanilla gingerbread lock screen. However, I have made the mistake of uninstalling all of my lock screens before and I was just left with a blank screen when I would power up my phone from sleep. Do you think that renaming it will have a different effect?
I'm not sure. I haven't used the gingerbread lockscreen in a while :/

Use tasker. There is an option under display to disable the lockscreen.
I have a profile set for "driving" that disables the lockscreen among other things.
Oops nevermind.

This produces the same results as all of my previous attempts . Regardless of keyboard, the keyboard becomes less responsive and It takes much harder presses to get a letter to register.

This is the first app that I tried and the app that I used to use on every reboot with my Evo 4G. Doesn't work as well on my 3d however.. I'm surprised that I'm the only one with this problem. I've tried using no lock on a fresh and stock rom with no custom apps installed ,and that didn't work either. Maybe I just touch too lightly when typing? Although I notice no problems when my lock screen is enabled.
Lol dog44 that's the same thing I said until I read the op post again.....oops.
Try using "touch screen booster", it seems to help some people with typing issues.
I got to thinking. Go ahead and look for the lockscreen apk in the system files and rename it. If it does give you the blackscreen you could just rename it again and it will put it right back.

One of the first things I did was set it to 240. Seeing as I run 160 on my gs2 it was sort of a necessity. also 240 guarantees full market access.
Any issues with 240 ? Dialer our screen not properly aligned?

If you use touchwiz its guaranteed to happen. Switch launchers (all good on go launcher and adw) or search for a mdpi version. The hyperdroid guys make one iirc.
Edit: I see the dialer. I'mgoing to try to push A mdpi version

Change the line
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
to
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
in /system/build.prop, either using Root explorer or ADB
As for my results, aside from scaling everything down, it looks very crisp and clear. I'm too used to the 320 resolution, so i'm going to set it back.
Can someone post an mdpi touch wiz and dialer....I'm actually liking the touch wiz.....240 looked nice but having the launcher cut in half and drawer sucks, and messed up dialer to...but man 240 looks nice

Go to the market and get an app called Nitrality. You can change your dpi with it and it'll stick after reboot unlike LCD changer
Big Dogg Infuse I997 ZeusB5 ICS!
Guessing you need root for that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
I just downloaded Nitrality, but didn't change the setting because it looks like it only allows you to set it as high as 240. That is, it says 320 (default) when you open the dialog for it, but as soon as you slide the slider, the highest you can go is 240. This leads me to believe that the slider is hardcoded to top out at 240, and that if you change it using this app, you won't be able to go back to the stock 320 using this app. Just a word of warning if you are only trying to see if you like it. Someone who has used this app might be able to check if the 320 option appears after you have set 240? I kind of doubt it, but it's possible.

Nitrality tops out at 300. To go back to 320, you an always just manually change the value in the build prop.

the LCD Resolution app I use you can set it to change on Boot and it has a button to revert to Stock right on it so if you wanted to go back it goes right to 320

How do I do this? Can I change it back and for easily? Can I change it for just one app? Is 340 the correct dpi for our device?
There is no way to change the font size. Interestingly, the tablet mode only started with a later update to the appstore. Also for whatever reason it runs in 'phone mode' on ics
Go into your build.prop and scroll down. You will see default is set at 320. Change it above that
I wouldn't change your lcd density ...it will mess up other apps...including phone app...some will look funny or be off aligned....

See my previous post on widget locker, short tutorial there if you need any help after that just pm me
I ended up installing Rom Toolbox (Full or Lite), then opened it and I changed the LCD Density under Build Prop Tweaks to 210. It makes your Kindle, use the default Tablet counterparts, and it changes the lock screen to default android. But doing this makes your default amazon keyboard a bit messy. I recommend you install a different one, then if you install Go locker, or similar app. You will get rid of the lockscreen on default. This is the only way I know of, so that you don't have two screens. Also the new LCD Density adds more Positives, to applications like the camera.
If you use widget locker, it has an option to turn off default lock screen
but if i recall, if this option is checked. Once you restart you see the default lockscreen one time still.

Over the weekend I swapped from CleanRom Lite to Beans build 10. I noticed that I can no longer change the wallpaper background on my lock screen. I use golauncher and also noticed that I am no longer able to change app drawer wallpaper background.

Are you using the gallery to change it. It will not work with the 4.2 gallery if you selected that in aroma during install. No sure about go launcher tho as I haven't used that since pre-ics days
So when I go to that option, it only allows me to pick a wallpaper using gallery. It won't allow me to use any of the other media apps like quickpic...
Can that be changed? How can I have the phone allow me to use quick pic at the choose lock screen wallpaper selection screen?

Here's what mine looks like even after I change lock screen wallpaper using quick pic to set.

You need to open gallery, find the pic you want, hit menu, then set as. This will bring up options where to set it
After I do that, the wallpaper remains the same. This really isn't that big of a deal, just a small thing I would like to be able to do. Any thoughts on why it won't take?
I will try restarting the phone and see if that does anything...

Hmmmm. Not really sure from here. Could be an issue from the pin lock? Have you tried changing it to swype and see if it works? If not I'm not sure, maybe a go launcher issue.
