How to increase LCD density in Xperia X8

Introduction

In other word, increasing the screen resolution of your android screen. The advantage is that more text can be viewed on the screen and less scrolling is needed. I find that the LCD Density of 140 works best for X8, instead of the original 160.

 

Requirement

  • Rooted device
  • Root explorer android application
  • Android ADB
  • Notepad+ windows application

 

Procedure

 

1. Connect your device, turn on debug mode on your android and run this command in italic.

adb pull /system/build.prop  C:\       

This will fetch file called build.prop from your android and store it at root of C: drive.

 

2. Now edit the build.prop using Notepad+ and change the parameter:

ro.sf.lcd_density=140

Change from 160 to 140.

 

3. Open Root Explorer and mount the /system folder to read-write (rw)

 

4. Store the build.prop file back to the X8 by running command:

adb push C:\build.prop /system

 

5. Reboot your X8 and enjoy the new screen size :)
