Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i would like to change the Pixel Density of. It is rooted currently, but I just want to be able to read texts clearer and play my games and watch videos more sharp and crisp.. i know there are afew apps on the android market which can do this, but if i want clear/sharpness which is the recommended pixel density(240 is the default).
Also, i need something that will work perfectly on Galaxy S2, like, not make the widgets or icons or anything out of proportion...i want things to auto fit
It's in theory impossible since our display is 480 by 800.. If you want a better display sell your SGS2 and buy a Nexus
how is it impossible? there are apps which change the density...
cant i just use a custom home screen launcher?
have a look at hyperdroid. It is MDPI compatible
There is an app that magically creates more physical pixels on you screen? Wow how much is that and could it make my hdtv into a 3D tv too?.. Serious how do you think thats possible? If you want a better pixel density buy a phone with an hd screen because you definatly cannot change it...

Unless I misunderstood your question, there is no way on gods earth that you can create more pixels (ie higher density) than what there physically is.
The best you can do is to max out the screen brightness which gives the illusion of a better picture.

Of course you can change the density, just edit system/build.prop with rootexplorer..
Despite the smart answers above, I know what you mean, and love this app on my Asus TF-101

No need for that much complication, you just need to decrease the pixel value, well you can do that by editing build.prop or just use a simple app from market called LCD Resolution (Root).
But no, how on earth would you technically increase dpi while I9100 is given a 480x800 resolution hardware wise.
Wish that was possible and I could made my 1680x1050 monitor a HD one
why you would like do that ?
yes, i'm courious too, why?
Hi, all!
I have JXD s7100B and when I changed custom bootscreen (only the last one. I can't find others to change them ), because there was a circle on the boot image, I've noticed that the image is deformed - when turned to lanscape mode it is "squished" verticaly. After that I've noticed the same with the icons on the launcher - however I rotate the screen shorter side is squished. I have an idea that maybe display is not WVGA (800x480pix) like it's set (and sold) but a WVGA NTSC (854x480) so I would like to change 800 to 854 somehow but leave 480 and dpi. I've searched forum and net and 90% of posts are changing dpi with LCD Resolution app or by editing build.prop but nothing I found says anyting about what I want to do. I found some resolutions in /system/bin/set_display_mode.sh but I've decided to ask first if someone knows what I should do. Can you help me? Can I change one dimension with some app or by editing some file?
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (1920x1200). With original 4.1.2 it would correctly scale the picture to 1920x1080 when connected to my TV with MHL/HDMI-adaptor. Since 4.2 and now with 4.3 update it will not change the resolution and displays a squeezed 1920x1200 picture on my TV. So the aspect ratio is corrupt, making wide faces etc. when watching photos or movies.
Sony says that it is Google's fault.
The Xperia Tablet Z has a hidden service menu where I can change the HDMI resolution but it is set as 1920x1080 as standard, and changing this to 720p does not correct the aspect ratio issue.
I have bought the app Screen Settings from Forbitel, and I have also tried other resolution changer apps, since I am rooted and have Busy box installed.
I am able to change resolution to 1920x1080, which displays correctly at my Tablet Z (it leaves 120 pixels unused =black bars at top and bottom) BUT when connected to my TV it will still only display a squeezed 1920x1200 picture on TV screen!
Why has Google removed the scaling from 4.2 when it was working perfect in 4.1.2?
Any information regarding this or ideas how to fix it would be much appriciated! Thanks!
Recently inherited a Motorola Moto E (2nd gen) 4G LTE with damaged display screen. The lower 2.8 CM is unusable so am wondering if I can use an app to eliminate this portion of the screen?
Did some checking and found:

Le DPI Changer [ROOT] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.nisarg.setdpi&hl=en

There may be more.
Hope someone has had similar problem and would share how it was solved.

Hi,
My device is ASUS ZD551KL running android M, stock rom, not rooted.
It display resolution native is 1920x1080, and 480dpi. With this resolution playing game a bit heavy, so i try to change display resolution and dpi. I did that using adb shell command to make resolution 1280x720 and 320dpi.
The problem is the physical (capacitive) buttons not working when i change the resolution (with dpi changed it works fine). So, anyone can help to get around this problem? With non rooted solution preferably.
Thx.
