Are you a habitual of looking smaller icons on your desktop but when you see on your mobile phone, you have to scroll the way vertically to locate your useful icons and also the bigger pictures look weird to you.
If the names be small then you can view more without scrolling on your phone’s screen at one go. So, here’s a simple tweak for this. You can easily reduce the screen resolution of your smartphone from the default one to the size you desire.
The hack is working fine on LG G2x when changed the density from 240 to 190. But the same didn’t work fruitfully on Nexus S as LockScreen etc. sucked.
The change in density might work or not for all the mobiles. We all know that when we change it on computer, some widgets organize into random order. Same is the case with phones as well. It can be that some of your widgets might get de-organized. In the latter case, you can revert to the original state. So, make sure you not forget to note down the original settings so that you can restore to defaults in case there are any problems in viewing the device widgets.
