@Warpedflash

Thank you :D

Just put your v3 build.prop file on the scroll - It's fantastic!, much faster & looks better now.

Is there a version of this update that doesn't make the icons smaller?

It's probably my eyes getting worse with age but I find the size of the icons with the stock version much easier to read. All the other improvements are great though.

If you are rooted which I suppose you are to apply the build prop, just download the LCD Density Change app from the market, and change it to suit yourself....

@Charlie
There is a small typo in the instructions for method 2 (terminal emulator) - missing cp (copy) command
################
Method 2 - Using Terminal Emulator
Open terminal emulator
Type in the following commands:
"su"
"mv /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.old"
"/sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop"
<--- should be "cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop"
Reboot your Tablet
And you are done!

Sorry I thought it was you earlier in this topic that asked why it didn't work, ref:
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=147&start=80#p3602
But in fact looking back it was @csjjpm -sorry! :oops:

Hi warpedflash, any chance of posting the version of the prop with 160 density? I have tried using LCD Density Changer which is fine until I reboot but then reverts to 140.

Cheers
