Every time when I use my NC, one thing that bothers me the most is the icon size and text size. This must be a common problem associate with old-age. When comparing Nook Color CM7-built to Ipad, the appearance of the icon and text are just too small. So my next mission is to make them bigger and larger which involves changing ro.sf.lcd_density=161 to ro.sf.lcd_density=200 in the file build.prop stored under /system directory.
However, before you can make the change, you have to change the file system access for /system from read only to read and write. The easiest way is to download and install ES File Explorer app which allow you to change the file system attribute under settings. Once the ES File Explorer is installed, tab the icon to open the app. Tab the Settings and then Root options. Select both Root Explorer and Mount File System as writable.
Once you have the write access, you can easily open the build.prop in text mode and make the change from 161 to 200 as above.
