By default Samsung put a DPI of 240 on our phones and is the reason why our resolution seems so low and everything looks so big. I downloaded the app texdroider DPI from the play store and changed my DPI to 220. This will make your screen look much sharper and feel like an even better phone than it was before!

DO NOT do this, it messes up compatibility with a ton of apps on google play, i had this problem for a month before i realized it was because i changed the LCD density to 220, leave it at 240, trust me

I am testing out a program for the google store called Pimp My Rom which has an option to change your dpi without causing google store issues, I will post back if issues come up.

i dont see the big issue with just leaving at 240, just slightly bigger icons and stuff, oh well to each is own

So far I have had no issues with google play store using 220 dpi. Seems the Pimp My Rom app works pretty good as well as having many other useful scripts/tweaks.
