Change DPI?

[blitzburgh39]

I remember changing the DPI of my droid 1. Can I do it on my TB and is it a good thing to do? Or will it look stupid? And a recommended value?

Thanks

I'm interested in this too. Are you looking for a way to make the font size smaller, or just changing the size of everything in general?

Not just font, everything. I wanna toy around with the resolution a bit. I am obviously rooted and such. I have googled and found nothing tied to the Thunderbolt as to dpi. I think it is a great customization.

If I could find a way to change the DPI, that would be great. I changed the font size with an app, and that's been an okay alternative. I think it's got a beautiful, big screen, and it seems silly for everything to be so big - I wanted to be able to see more on the screen.

Reduce LCD Density Setting in Build.Prop For Higher Res Look - xda-developers

Found this. Trying now.

There are many apps in the market. Duh. Just search "LCD Density"

The first one the pops up works great. Just tried 180 I think. A little too small. I am gonna try 200 now. The stock is 240. it looks so much better.

Multiples of 8 are usually good, aka 176, 160, etc.
I run at 160 and it looks just like the droid did at 192.
