LCD Density

[Mats Högberg]

Been enjoying my new toy for a few days, and happy so far. I will probably install Mirek’s latest greatest shortly, but if I don’t, I have one major gripe with Teclast’s original Android version: It looks like a giant old phone! With the very high resolution and screen real estate, it ought to be much better. I guess a tweak of LCD density would do the trick (ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop) but I’d like to know if anyone have some good and reasonable value to use? Since I’m still unrooted, I haven’t checked what is factory default, but something tells me there’s room for improvement…

Use 260 or 264 DPI if you run into issues use an application like resolution changer.

Thank you – Changed to 264 and it seems to behave well. And looks better too. Cheers!

Hi can I ask you what did you set the height and width to?  Set mine to 2048 x 1536 264dp but the screen was tiny

All I did was set ro.sf.lcd_density to 264 in /system/build.prop – Nothing else. Having some trouble tho, with Play saying that some apps (well, at least one – Google Plus!) isn’t compatible with my device… Well, it’s not harder than changing back again for those instances. I user ES File Explorer and edited the build.prop file directly in the built in text editor.

Obvioiusly, you have to be rooted to do that.

Thanks! Will have a mess about with the build prop.
