Root [ROM]Party Time JB 3.0.X

Wonder if you have any mod on the build.prop, especially on lcd density?

Is it save to mod this "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" to 200 or 160 to increase screen estate? I already made a backup, if the mod failed regular boot, can I boot into recovery and restore?

I got this phone last xmas. Without even recovery, I modded the lcd density using a 3rd party app, and the phone bricked. I had to ship it back for repair :( . And one year later, I am so tempted to try again. Can one still boot into recovery and restore if the build.prop mess up? I have recovery installed now,...

TIA,

bun

you'll be fine...but why decrease screen density?

Decrease screen density increase screen estate, kind of like on your desktop PC, resolution changed from 640X480 to 1024 X 800 to 1920 X 1280. Change lcd density from 240 to 200, google news will increase display from 10 lines to 16 lines, or a search results will see 6 lines to 9 lines without having to scroll. It is a personal preference. Some people like to see large icon and scroll, I prefer seeing smaller icon and avoid scrolling. Pic attached.
