Lower dpi?

I set my dpi on this phone to 240 and I LOVE it and the market still works fine so far! Just wondering how i can mod the dialer/camera to fit the 240 dpi. And also the stock keyboard dosent work but i dont care much about that i use swiftkey 3.

Shame the standard keyboard doesn't work, I really like it.
As to the dialer? hmm, probably need to get a replacement for that too, shame it doesn't scale either. Someone can probably hack the .apk to allow different dpi's perhaps?

What app did you use to change your density it would be cool to do that with this ginormous screen

Change the value for ro.sf.lcd_density in the build.prop. You can do this with apps like ROM Toolbox Pro.
I was running 240 as well, and loved it but the camera, dialer and Samsung keyboard issues bugged me enough to go back to 320.

I have mine set at 270 and everything, including dialer and camera works great.

That's the magic number? Excellent.

I love the 270 dpi but how do I or am I able to get the launcher to not be so high into the middle of the screen... Like the dots to show what page ur on is raised to the middle of the screen

use a different launcher. I use nova

So no suggestions for dialers or camera mods that fix the scaling issues. They are better at 270 but not perfect.

Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001143
it's on the Sprint Note II forum but I flashed them and they all work well.

soapbox23, what rom are you using? I am on Jexi-X4 and it doesnt work...

Found this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002960
Works very well at 240 dpi, it has most of the system apps fixed that dont scale well. Need to flash keyboard zip in the QA page though for 240 dpi.

Very slow dialer

hey guys
T_ don't know why but the dialer on my note2 is very Slow and UnsatisfIng.
I tried using other rom rather than the Stock and now I'm using Omega but still it takes him about 4 sec to open dialer/Contacts and the Scroll is laggy.
how Can I fix this problem without dl another dialer?

Use xposed framework + App setting module and set dialer storage to stay in resident memory.

If you are on AOSP based rom, then get a rom that supports ParanoidAndroid, and change the keyboard dpi to 320
If you are on Samsung ROM, get AOSP4.2 Keyboard.. It does not get affected by dpi changes..

Xposed Framework and App Settings .. Get them from the forums and install them.. Installing the framework.. And you'll be able to change dpi of any app.. Don't use it on keyboard..
Sent from my GT-N7100

xposed not working for me, thats why ive mentioned at the op that i didnt wanted to use any framework app

keyboard/launcher dpi fix
If you figure out what the correct dpi for the keyboard and launcher are you can then set the dpi to that using the app settings module of the xposed framework.....you can fix the problem of the size by doing that

If u r rooted u can also set the DPI by manually changing it in build prop
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------
U will need es file explorer or root explorer.....

anyone have this keyboard apk ? I am trying to get the samsung keyboard on my lg v20 its a nice keyboard but its missing the voice speech shortcut!! you have to long press the gear and then select the voice icon and that just sucks)
the sammy keyboard has the number line and subkeys I want as well as the voice icon.

[INFORMATORY PURPOSE] xposedGEL settings module

So guys..i know this is maybe something you all know, (as this module has also been on portal), but still if someone dont know/tried then i would recommend them this.
XposedGEL settings module..
Module which many of us always awaited for...
We can now tweak google experience launcher like hell(including icon size).
Best part is that it doesn't make icons blurr.... @ Sulaimanshariff @Parth2187 and many friends out there love using small dpi..(our dev @xenon92 provides by default 180 lets not forget , coz it looks cool..but Google experience launcher icons are blur kinda)
Many options are there..just try urself...just an informatory thread ..

first change ur dpi to 240(normal) from build then change icon size from this app...this will make all apps 240 dpi and this app 240 too but with small icons ).......btw..if u want all apps small, then use app settings and make only google app 240 dpi! and then use this app...all apps will be small (as in build prop), but google now will be 240 dpi due to app setting..this will make icons not blurr.........i have no blurr icons..using it!! try it...
make everything 240 dpi..and use this app...or use app setting to make google search 240 dpi and use this app(if u want others apps small too)..

[Q] What dpi are you using ?

I'm running 240 dpi (stock is 320) the note 2 has a great screen but isn't utilised my 320 dpi.
To run in 240dpi mode I did this.
You must be rooted.
Download texdroider dpi from play store.
You also need exposed
Download app settings module from exposed.
Open app settings
Change the following
Calculator
camera
contacts
photo editor
radio
voice recorder
Gallery
Click the one you want to change
At the top of the screen slide the toggle switch to the right to activate it.
Enter 320 for the dpi
Form the drop down box for screen dp pick 800x1280
Click on save on the top right.
Do this for all apps in the list and for any other apps that fc or don't fit the screen in 240 dpi mode.
Download apex launcher and import your current launcher settings (so you keep all your folders / icons) (touchwiz launcher doesn't work in 240dpi but apex looks and acts the same)
Open texdroider and enter 240 for new dpi.
Hit apply then reboot phone.
Your phone is in 240 dpi mode.
You can now change the amount of icons you want on your home screen as well as other settings for apex launcher.
7 icons down and 6 across works best for me.
(the settings i changed in apex settings are
homescreen
portrait grid 7x6
icon size 110%
Dock settings
icon size 130%
Advanced settings
keep in memory ticked)
You can also download play store fixes for exposed to submit a normal density to google play store
I also have apex notifier and missed it for notifications
I think that's everything
