Unpack it (until you got an odex file - although it's binary you may open it with a text editor and make sure that the first "line" reads "dey"). This may involve multiple runs, depending on your archive tool.

As root, rename the old Launcher2.odex (e.g. to Launcher2.bdex), copy the new file in, and adjust its permissions to look the same as the
old one.

Double check, then restart.

Mine came set as 160 and as a result there is lots of space round the edges of the screen. I've just experimented with changing the value to 213. It's OK, but the icon text spills slightly off the edge of each screen. A little lower, say 200 would be nice, but will this compromise some stuff if it's non standard I wonder?

EDIT: So far set at 200dpi things seem OK, but I did notice when Adfree decided to update its database, the prompt to do the update was spilling off the top of the screen slightly. Things also get too wide if you flip the screen into portrait mode.

And more: as I see is noted in other places, the Play store doesn't like this, scrolling gets very messed up. It looks as though Google's own application is designed only to work with their standard resolution set.

I downloaded dpi changer from paly store and installed it on my generic tablet cortex a8 processor.
It rebooted and staked at start up screen. The seller don't provide assistance.

It's a generic china made device cortex A8. By reseller Aura 7 inch 512 ram 1GHz.
I don't think anything has been damaged since I did not dig in the OS, but still it needs some kind of medicine in order to recover.

I'm new to Android so any body any advice would be great.

Can the latest roms devs correct this? they still using PPI = 160 when it should be PPI = 213. same as nexus 7

Where can we edit screen size to 7" instead of default 9"
does the lower 160 vs 213 affect how photos or videos are shown? or is just for desktop and icons?

I've installed the new feiyu 0506 on my Fire. It has the new phablet UI from 4.2.2, dpi is 160. I find that a lot of the UI elements, especially the status bar, is too small. I'd also rather use the tablet UI like in android 4.1.2. But when dpi is changed from 160 with tablet UI turned on, system UI begins to FC constantly after restart.

Even if I decided to keep using the new phablet UI, everything is too small but I'm not sure what dpi to use. I tried 217 but the bottom status bar didn't show at all.

Try ppi of 213 same as nexus 7,remember some of screen is used for softkeys, so display is 1280x752.
In default display mode PPI = 213 works, but in tablet mode PPI = 180,190,200,213 causes "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped."
