Onda V820w Android font too small? Change it

Err… Onda V820w dual OS tablet’s font is a little bit small for both Windows and Android. Not an issue on Windows as fonts are clear and sharp thanks to ClearType feature. However, it’s kinda blur on Android. Is there a way to fix it? Yes, but root access is required in order to change it. We need to increase its LCD density from 160 to 210 dpi (which I prefer). You can always change to any value that suit you. Basically, this method works on every Android device. By changing LCD density, you can change the UI layout from phone to tablet. Or the other way around. Just don’t go over 220 dpi on Onda V820w else you will get phone layout then. By the way, the optimum dpi for Onda V820w is 188 dpi. But I prefer a bigger one…
