Yes, and it sucks. 200 is lowest i would go. I'm at 220 personally.

I just didn't like changing the density because it messes up widgets like "battery life"... oh well... glad everyone else is liking it. Anyone noticing a difference in their batteries since doing it, more drain?

Ok guys, people seem to be having problems using the LCD Density changer app, so I am making this write up to help you out

If you would like to make your Droid X look like this...

Then follow these steps.

Method 1 - ADB

1. Download LCD Density w/ 2.2 market Fix - This also contains the 2.2 market fix (without the stagefright)
2. Put the build.prop in your android-sdk\tools folder
3. Connect your phone via usb, make sure it shows up with adb devices
4. adb remount
5. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
6. adb reboot


Method 2 - Root Explorer

1. Copy the build.prop to the root of your SD card
2. Long press on build.prop
3. Select "Copy"
4. Navigate to /system
5. Click R/W in the top right corner
6. Paste, and overwrite
7. Reboot

Your screen will now look like this, giving you much more space. And If using ADW launcher, you can use 6 X 5 rows of icons!!

Now if you really like to do things yourself, in the build.prop..
Change
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=200

push, reboot.
If you want to revert back, just push this Stock Build prop back into place.

who made LCD Density app, but it did not work with Droid X phone and koush's recovery installed. People had to SBF, so this post was necessary. Check out his thread -- [APP] LCD Density Changer - create HighRes screen effect - xda-developers
