How to change DPI on the official ICS rom?

Installed the official ICS rom, rooted, but I cant get used to the 320 DPI it has, tried to change it with DPI Changer but my note won't restart and keep stuck in the Samsung logo, is there a safe way to do it?

Use ROM Toolbox or do it manually

u can use root explorer/root browser under system/build.prop
long press, open in text editor, search for lcd density. edit both of them...

I changed it manually with root explorer and worked like a charm

What settings have you used?

If you're asking about how to do it manually:
Use a file explorer app with root privileges like Root Explorer and navigate to /system/buil.prop, long-press on it and choose open in text editor
Search for a line that reads:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
Change that value to what you wish, don't go too low or you might end up with a bootloop

I believe there's three LCD density inputs... make sure you change them all

I did it using ROMToolbox 220 DPI
Hi guys, i managed to change the DPI of official ICS using ROMToolbox 220 DPI. OOh and im using apex launcher btw. Here's the screenshot

Where to find the 240 DPI version of S-Memo (ICS version)
Yepp, I can confirm: 240 DPI works great, changed using ROM Toolbox!
Now the question is: Is there a working 240 DPI version of the new (!) S-Memo anywhere here on the board? I can just find the old one from GB...

Does any kind soul mind doing a 280dpi version? My old eyes cannot cope with 240...

What's the purpose of changing the DPI?
I just want to ask if what's the purpose of changing the DPI?
What DPI is the most ideal for Samsung Galaxy Note?
Thanks.

i tried 280, and it works well.

dived to 210 dpi, not softkey like in CM9 and loads of UI crashed message. guess the key is part of the status bar with touchwiz even I am on apex launch. guess we need to get a port from the galaxy tabs :/

yeah i tried to change to 240 and am now stuck at the start up screen
Is there anyway I can repair without redownloading the ROM? The ROM is on my internal SD as I used Mobile Odin?
Any help would be great

Have you tried pulling your battery for 10 seconds and reboot your device?
I've tried 240 dpi, stuck on start up, pulled the batt for 10 secs, reboot device, waited until it boots up. Try that

Most simple way is to download "spareparts app" change font size without root access
U can change dpi with "LCD resolution " app, it's free & safer than editing build.prop(also tells u which resolution u are applying)

And what about apk tool?

APKTOOL is for decompiling. Not changing densities and DPI.

every apk contains resources for all type of resolutions . the os decides which resources to select for our device
eg if your phone is ldpi images from drawable ldpi will be chosen
you cannot use higher resolution than the mobile can display , its a hardware constraint
Hence there is no such app to show app at better dpi

Use paranoid rom.. You change hybrid properties of each app.

it might be, and I am not totally sure, the tw_quickpanel_top_bg.png in the res/drawable-hdpi folder of your systemui.apk

Will the changes be applied to the whole OS I mean the theme of other apps like root explorer will also change or what ?
Because root explorer uses the default theme of android it looks different on different ROMS

I think that while you use tw, it will be the same for apps like root explorer, my files and so on. some of the roms are themed so that may be why it looks different. can't really say as I prefer just plain stock, and even with holo launcher hd it uses the tw colors when opening apps.

Secphone is the phone during call. If you want to change how the app looks then you should edit the SecContacts

Since you edited the SecPhone.apk check the in-call Dailer. And you don't have to create a flashable zip, you can just push file to /system

In call_dailer_press.9.PNG refers to the pressed button and in call_keypad_BG_01.PNG refers to the keypad I've edited only the later one but changes just don't show up this is the first time I've encountered such an error...
