Does Changing the screen densisty affect the blade?

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

I hear on other phones, changing the density can "improve resolution" (haven't got a clue how)

Anyway, I tried various values on the blade, and every time, the screen looked the same (or maybe I just have bad eyesight)

Does changing the density effect the blade at all, visually, or otherwise?

I'm guessing no :D

It is supposed to make everything larger / smaller

Like screenscreen resolution on an old 15" monitor. You never set it up to max because you can't read it :D

What did you change in build.prop? I tried it some time ago - it worked.

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

I changed two lines in build.prop about screen density that were near each other, as i had no idea which one is to do with which aspect. I set them both to the same value and rebooted each change, of course, but haven't noticed anything.

I am running cyanogen nightly 25, and using the froyo "launcher2.apk", if that makes any difference.

I've used the apps LCD density (free) and LCD density changer (paid) on both the stock orange rom and flb r10b. It definitely makes a difference for me. Using adw ex I've got 5x7 app drawer and 6x5 home screens, reduced it to 190 and all the app icons are smaller, before they were almost overlapping in the app drawer. Text in menus is also smaller, meaning more fits into the screen. Just makes the entire phone look crisper and feel much les clumsy to use!

I keep mine at 200 DPI... more detail on screen :D

Set the non qem one to 200. Try that alone before setting the qem one to the same.

You do realise that after changing the value, you have to restart to see something, don't you?
