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..

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

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)

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.
Are there any TW based ROMs with 240dpi for our n7100 , i tried searching but its not that easy without 3g(im on my summer house now and my connection is really poor)...
Any help and links are welcome, thnx

You can just change the dpi yourself by changing it in the build.prop or downloading xposed installer and xposed settings app and changing the dpi of anything on your phone individually.

I pretty much know that, but then i don't have a modified tw launcher, and apps that work properly on a system modified like that...
That is why i asked for a whole rom...

Try a rom called black pitch something. I'm not sure the exact name but it was setup for 240/260dpi it's based on Sammy rom but shares some of the look from aosp.

Build.prop ?

Build.prop changes the dpi on the device but also breaks tw app compatibility...
Ok doesnt break but tw launcher looks awful on that dpi...

I am running Omega 12 with Simplistic Framework V3.5.1. I have changed my dpi to 220 & have modded my touchwiz launcher to:
8 dock (landscape aswell)
6x8 home & app draw (8x6 landscape)
3x5 widget preview (5x3 on landscape)
6x6 folder (9x4 landscape - might need changing) with title changed to middle.
Landscape only available if simplistic framework installed.
screenshots : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vegq00xkmeoon6e/XSPMfcg_Gk
Bad Stuff:
Splanner widgets not scalled properly but rest seem good.
Landscape homescreen only shows 6x5 - anything below is cut off & if you look at the download apps screenshot the txt at bottom is a little cut off but could be fixed sometime.
I have not fully tested the 9x4 folder, it may end up 9x9 as the fixed col option is set to 9.
Looks best @ 220 dpi for landscape or if you only want portrait looks great @ 240 dpi apart from the widget preview window is a little out.
If you want to try it or fix it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei8a6gjpxczlm7a/SecLauncher2.apk.mod
Samsung keyboard made by bala_gamer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkpu7g9iwvnvzm1/SamsungIME.apk.mod
To install copy the .mod file to system/app then select the .mod file and change permissions to rw-r-r, then rename the original seclauncher2.apk to seclauncher2.bak and rename seclauncher2.apk.mod to seclauncher2.apk. Do same with the keyboard file.
Then install the Xposed framework and Appsettings module to change dpi for: splanner, phone, internet, contacts, flashbarservice, clock, camera & calculator to 320dpi.
Change google play service & play store to 200dpi ( I lost apps until I set it to 200).
Thanx, i will try it

I am REALLY struggling with this. I have installed a bunch of different SMS apps but prefer stock (use clipboard, LED function....) Any suggestions how I can do this? Turning the system font size down doesn't change my messaging conversation font. I would prefer to use the default sms app with the Note 2, but is there any way I can make the font smaller than what the volume keys allow me to do?
Even all the way down the messages are huge (I can only see 2-3 with the keyboard open) and like 8 without it open. For privacy reasons I'd also like it smaller so everyone around me can't read all my messages while it's open...
Try the app settings app in the xposed thread you can set the dpi or font to anything you want in any app

Never mind, I think I figured out that I would have to... hmmm may be the reason I root. That could be a slippery slope though

You need to be rooted to install the app but once the xposed installer is installed you can unroot and all the modules will still work. The per app dpi is well worth rooting for, you can have a lot of apps in tablet mode

Hey there!
So I installed MIUI now which is quiet beautiful. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut.... I'm coming from another ROM and used to have my device for a year @ 180dpi - 220dpi. Now... this is just... ugly. The default is set to !!!320DPI!!!. Everything is so big, my grandma could easily hit every icon without her glasses.
So I tried to change the dpi to 220 using Rom toolbox, the only problem: stock keyboard
I really really like the samsung stock keyboard and now that it is back because of MIUI I don't wanna really miss it. I use the numbers really often and it's handy to have a number line just at the top.
>> Is it possible to have a Samsung Stock Keyboard working at 220DPI without any blank gaps and force closes?
Thanks alot!
Use the 240dpi one from bala_gamers thread.

Hey buddy , how were you able to bring down the screen dpi to 180 - 220. I am currently using cm 10.1.3 on the note 2 n7100 but i am unable to change the screen dpi. the entire rom looks ugly on the 320 dpi. Just a waste of screen space. Could you help me with the steps you took to reduce the screen dpi from 320 to say 240 or lesser...?
Hi.

Search for Xposed framework mod. In there you can assign different DPI for any app, so set your system to 240 and set launcher to 320. Unless you just want more shortcuts on "desktops" then in Xposed there is a mod that allows 5x4 icons on desktop. Look here mods repository.
Thanks for the help but i found some other post which i must have missed the first time around i browsed through.
