Email app default app size when composing - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

When using the built uin email app, and I create a new mail message, the font size defaults to 9px. My recipients are complaining that the messages are to small to read easily. I know I can change the font size when im editing the message, but does anyine know a way to change the default of 9px when composung a new mail? I look through every menu I could find, but didnt see any optuons for that.
Thanks!

This is the setting that I'm referring to. I would like to change the default to 12 or 16 px

if yuu touch on the 9px you should get a drop down menu where you can choose the font size, at least i can on mine

Correct, but I was hoping not to have to do that everytime I create a message. I was looking to change the default.

yes i see what you mean, the only way i can see is to increase the system font in display settings but that makes all fonts too big for me. sorry i cannot be of more help.

Ofcouse you need root . Download Romtoolbox from play store go to build.prop /Ro.sf.lcd.density/ set property value to 240/ reboot ( but you will have little issue like when receive call,the answer & end button will misalign ,still working normal though)

Have you adjusted Menu > Settings > Accessibility > Font Size?
You can change that to "Tiny." Not sure if that's what you are looking for though?
The font sizes in Accessibility dont realy change them that much. Tiny is not that small or I just have good vision.... Custom launchers can help w/ the icon sizes.
I dont like how much room the toggles and screen brightness slider take up in the notification window. In portrait mode they take up like half the screen.

Sorry , for delay feedback been busy with real life job. Here is the 240 dpi mod link which compiable with note2 and I alway use Apex launcher Pro as my default launcher. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873026 ( you must set LCD Density at 240 dpi when you use those Mod )
I've noticed in the past that sometimes a DPI of 241 works better than 240. Might be worth trying if you run into any other issues with alignment etc.

[Q] Tab 3 needs to know how to root and get gmail to work in phone mode NOT tablet

Hello,
I have looked ll over trying to find a video or simple tutorial of HOW TO root by tab 3
My only motive is to be able to view content especially GMAIL in larger font.
After I bought my Galaxy Tab 3; I leaned the the screen is larger but the font become smaller.
I asked 3 sprint tech's ' WHY would I buy a Larger screen only to get smaller print? (get the 100 yard stare every time)
Anyway, I am not talkig about in settings go change font to largest.. this is not the issue.
The Tab 3 has a hi resolution and when You put the gmail or flixter app on it I am forced to run the app in Tablet mode. I want to be able to have them in phone mode so all the fonts are larger, you know when looking at several emails and subject lines in the gmail app on a tablet is actually smaller.
In other words, If I put both apps (gmail) opened side by side tablet 3 next to my galaxy note 2 the note 2 has a smaller screen but larger font.
QUESTION: Can anyone make or point me to a youtube explaining to me how to get around this common and simple problem?
If you make the youtube for us dummies how to accomplish this you will become a youtube sensation !
Thanks

This module for the xposed framework can do what you are asking. Just tested it on my tablet. Will set font size per app.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW
Thanks for the reply, but I don't know what you are talking about.
Plus, it's not just the font size it is the whole app in general, like my post says.
Plus I need some one who can SHOW me how to accomplish this please.
This will change the dpi per app. Which means it can set the apps to phone or tablet uu doing what you are asking. It can also simply set font size per app too. I'm sorry I'm not going to make a video for you.

OK, what is this? what do I do ?
In your system settings there is also an option for font size. Set it to "huge" and your gmail will have the sames sort of size as on a phone.
Goto system settings, display.

Font size

Hello. I just received the 8.4 as a present. Is there a way to enlarge the overall font? I know in settings/display /font size but that doesn't do it on the apps. I'm not rooted so the apps that offer dpi changes won't help me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi, thank you for your response. I've tried that but for some type of small difference on apps (Tapatalk included) I have to set it to extra large with makes system font huge and at times cut of. Ive had the s3, note 3, note 8, and s5 and changing system font works, looks better in all apps on those but for what ever reason on this tab, app font is tiny.

How to change your DPI settings to take advantage of the big screen

1. Settings.
2. System
3. About
4. Tap Build Number 10 times, until you are a developer.
5. System - Developer options
6. Drawing - Smallest Width #.
There are several guides on which DPI settings to use if you search, but I prefer around 600-640 to take advantage of the big screen. I hope this guide is helpful for some of you who weren't aware of this option. :highfive:

Ok but the notification tray and toggles are so big because seems to be unnafected by DPI change.

I set my on 485 dpi Honor Note 10 value. Yeah to bad that notification tray and toggles are still big and don't change. It also resets after reboot.
Doesn't this also mess up the app icons?

What DPI do you like? Lower?
I noticed today that I hadn't set the sizes in Display Settings first, to a smaller font, and then in developer options the DPI. The smaller font made a big difference, but is easy to overlook. I'm at 600 now, and everything works and looks fine. :cyclops:

I like 600 too as it sets it to tablet mode and since we are in tablet territory on screen size why not.

My dpi change keeps resetting back to default... How do I stop this from happening?
It will reset every time you reboot the device. Also when you change the display settings it may revert back to normal.

Because even with Display Size at it's smallest setting it's still pretty big.

Definitely not! I keep the font at large, but set the screen width at 540, which is good for me.

This is where Huawei neuteres Android. Change the smallest width setting and it is reset every time you restart the phone. The Android System and some of the SystemUI elements don't even change when setting a higher number. Once you're rooted you're better off editing the build.prop in vendor and adding the qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx line in to get everything to change like it's supposed to. Be careful not to go too low on the density or else EMUI glitches out to the point where your lockscreen will no longer function. It's one of the things about EMUI that really irks me and instead of Huawei fixing the issue they just seem to ignore it. That and not being able to move the wifi and data icons to the right where they should be.
We need root soon. Changing the width in developers options messes with some apps. Also, the navigation bar at the bottom doesn't change which blocks the exit button in my trading app. Quite annoying.

Are you using any font that is installed externally? If that is the case, then change the font to default and see.
If thats not the case, try changing the text sizes and check.

It is an option that says Smallest width or something like that. It has a number underneath that you can increase or decrease to change the dpi. Try it.
