share the love peeps ;)
A couple of peeps were asking about this so thought I'd write a guide.
The s3 default DPI is 320 but some roms have it at 280 which is far too small for me. I have bad eyes so use 340.
There are apps like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi which work on some roms but not others so try that first.
Editing build.prop is good experience anyway.
ES File Explorer is my file manager of choice so install that.
Open it and hit the icon at top left to get this
Turn on root explorer then tap the word "root explorer", tap "mount r/w and you'll get this
Set them both to RW.
Now in the root directory of the phone, find the System folder (/system) and open it
tap the build.prop folder and choose ES File Editor and you'll see this
Tap the 3dot menu button at the top and select edit.
Now scroll down the script until you find ro.sf.lcd_density= and then a number.
Just delete only the number and replace it with what you want. Don't go too mad or play store will think you're using an old atari lol. I know from 230 to 360 works fine on the s3.
Then just hit "back" or the icon at top left and it will ask you to save.
Reboot for the change to take place.
Hope that wasn't gobbledygook lol its my 1st guide.
In the next post I'll show another cool buildprop trick.
Disclaimer :I don't make a backup before doing this stuff but don't blame me if you don't and it goes breasts up lol.
I actually think ES creates a backup of the original buildprop file automatically tbh :thumbup:
PS the above pics are from my nexus7 so your script will look slightly different :thumbup:
