Hey guys,
I want to apply certain themes for CM 9 but they gave me errors that this theme is not compiled properly and all that stuff so I changed my DPI value to 140 so I want to ask that if I kept my DPI value to 140 will there be any problem with hardware or any other thng ??

I have tried numerous jb roms based off cm10 and every time I try to apply themes thru the supposed built in theme engine, I get the "this theme was not compiled properly" so I do the whole process of apply system, reboot, apply theme (which then again gives the error) and reboot again anyway and still nothing. I've tried alien Droid, the sgt7 and Hellfire roms so far but none of them allow me to theme. Any ideas?
I'm in the same boat

Are you installing KF specific themes, like this one? I know a lot of the themes out there are made for the phone UI, but I'm not sure how they would be affected using JB in phone UI. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the LCD density, though.
Back when the theme switcher was first introduced, I believe the way around that was to change the LCD density to a phone's LCD density, apply the theme and change it back.

I hadn't thought of that. I've always just used a theme this way. Ill give that a try.

You need to chance the DPI from 160 to 140
here is a zip file(page 96 on twa_priv cm10 rom) you can flash before you add the theme it chance the DPi to 140
after add the theme you flash the same zipfile again an it chance the DPi to 160
read this you can find it in the cm10 rom of twa_priv on page 96.
i used it with the theme gobalt from the playstore an it workt perfect.
I finally got the DPI to change. To make it easier for anyone else that wants to install a theme i modified the Toggle zip that twa_priv made so that it will toggle DPI from 160 to 140 and back. so just flash in recovery and then install the theme you want then flash it again to restore it back

Worked a charm! Thank you soooo much.
Hello,
A great colleague of mine who also owns a xperia S like me
loaded SlimNasomi rom (I think 4.2.2) and did change lcd DPI.
Screen displays more info and icons are smaller. Look nice.
Is it a way to do it with official 6.2.b.1.96 rom ?
I found a thread on a forum about root'ing the phone and
updating a file build.prop in /system, updating ro.sf.lcd_density
I even found an app 'Google Play DPI Fix Tool'
Did anyone already try to play with LCD DPI's ?
Thanks. Cheers from Belgium,
Thierry

Can I ask you how does it works?

It changes build.prop to desired dpi. I use it because it's faster and it really works. I tried on stock ROM, OpenSEMC and letama's AOSP 4.3.
And what is the range of values to stay in to avoid an endless bootloop?
yes that's the question, What value did you use for. in .200 fw i used a lcd density changer soft (don't remember the name) and guess what i got endless loop. I used 244 or something like that.
I usually use 240 and I didn't have any problems with that dpi.
It is standard Android dpi so most apps work just fine. Stock ROM look good but it has some minor offsets (gradient in notification bar as far as I remember).
I have been talking about this in the themes section in an old thread. I keep seeing people have issues with the dpi apps. I personally just edit build prop manually as it is not hard. I use Anttek explorer for my file browsing and edits. I would also suggest you try Xposed framework and per app dpi module. The magic LCD number is 192 for tablet mode. If you set home to 160 it goes into tablet mode but the status bar will not combine at the bottom. There is also another xposed module that forces tablet mode and works well but is still buggy. You also loose small apps.
There is a way to force tablet mode with out the dpi change but I have to figure out how to do that and even then not sure it will actually work. Need to ask some smali experts to help me.
... and what about if in endless bootloop ? ... :crying:
You must make backup before any modifcations
Yea it is a great idea to have a backup when messing with the system. If something goes wrong you can just go back to where you started.
This occured after changing dpi to 440.In 480 it perfect and i don't want to change from 440
if u r rooted, u can install xposed and install app settings which will allow per app dpi
I've been using Android Nougat for quite few months now and in it I used to change the display size to small in Display settings.
Have switched back to stock sense marshmallow for some reasons. Can anyone help me change the display size on Sense Marshmallow like Nougat ?
@ckpv5 can you help me ?

Yes, I know Nova is an option but it just resizes the home screen and app drawer, not the whole system.
I'm looking for something that can change the whole system display size like in Nougat.

Just change the default value of
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
in build.prop to your preferable value.
When running stock, mine is
ro.sf.lcd_density=400
Or use dpi changer app like Easy DPI Changer (from Play Store) if your stock ROM is rooted and write protection disabled.

I tried changing DPI Density through adb with wm density command as I'm not rooted. The density changed but icons on lock screen and the switches in settings were broken.
I was trying to change it to 432 which was the density when I selected small in nougat display settings.
Which lockscreen version ?
I'm on htc lockscreen 8.04.879556 (apkmirror), no issue.

Stock Lockscreen. 7.50.653327, I RUU'ed. Should I install from apk mirror with nodpi ?
Doesn't matter no dpi or 480. I always go for no dpi whenever available.

I see there is now option to change DPI from standard settings under Screen options, did you try that? There are 3 options to choose from.
