Hello,
I have a litte Problem with the position of the Dockbar in Go Launcher EX.
I installed LCD Density Changer from the Market. So I take the dpi from 240 to 180. After I restart the SGS, the dpi was change. But the Go Launcher EX (newest Version / Update from 28 March) doesent looks great.
Its not much, but the 5 shortcuts from the dockbar arent in the bottom centre.
If I startet the normal Go Launcher, this Problem doesn't exist. I used some Theme, a Reset of Go Launcher EX and so on, but i doesnt change everthing. Have any one the same problem oder a solution for these case?
Sry. But i cant post embedded images, because i havent enough posts. I created this account for a few days, because i lost my pw and my old email doesnt exist anymore
Go Launcher already has density thing build in
you don't need to install desntiy app after using Go Launcher
Where do you find this option? I didn't found it yet.
I can change the piece of icons from 4 x 4 to 5 x 5, but I didn't change density
ADW Launcher :
Issue 1: when you open the dialer the dock hides but doesn't come back when you close the dialer . You have to restart adw to get it again. Happens on 240 and 320 density.
Issue 2: when on 240, there is a blue line at the top of the screen and a empty section you can't do anything with, looks like a empty box. I am thinking ADW is in tablet mode cause i know tablets run on 240 and they have a tablet bar at the top
Nova Launcher:
Issue 1: When running on 240 density, when i scroll thru my homescreens blue lines appear for a seconds then disappear
Issue 2 : when scrolling from screen to screen and you stop on a homescreen the icons look distorted. They looks has if you're mid scroll transition and stopped. Once you click on something everything refreshes and looks normal.Happens on 240 and 320 density's
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
ADW:
wiped and re-installed the rom, that solved the disappearing dock with the dialer

havent used a honeycomb device have you
the gnex at 240 pushes some tablet features of ICS but not all.
the lines you are seeing at the homescreen change animation.
Hello everyone,
I am using a ROM with default 320 dpi.This rom has no ui switcher app so can't change ui to 240.
I love using my phone in 240dpi..I thought changing in build.prop and changing system ui using xposed..is that ok? If not then how do that?

That is fine, you should however, install an alternative launcher first and set it as default. Reason being that Touchwiz does not scale/adapt to the change in DPI.
Launchers such a Nova Launcher (which I use), Apex launcher, etc: are capable of handling 240DPI.
Also most, if not all, Samsung apps (i.e, stock clock, calculator, camera, contacts, phone, calendar, etc) don't handle 240DPI. You will need to use Xposed, as you've mentioned, to change them to 320 DPI if you wish to use them properly.
The other option you have is to use Xperiacle's Tablet, Phablet and Multiwindows mod

Changing launcher dpi will change the launcher's dpi only and not the system..i want to change system dpi to 240..
And xperiacle's mod is incompatible with latest mg1 build

Changing systemui.apk to 240DPI in Xposed/App Settings is fine. I've done it, works with no issues.
Currently have my Note 2 in 200DPI (changed in build.prop).
Only mentioned those launchers, as I wasn't sure if you knew that Touchwiz won't scale properly if run at 240dpi (if you change "ro. sf.lcd_density=320 to 240" in build.prop).
Hence why you would need alternative launcher (and alternative keyboard, as Samsung keyboard will FC at 240dpi)
I did not say anything about changing the launcher dpi.

Setting systemui.apk in Xposed to 240 dpi will only affect the systemui (i.e the notification bar, etc).
Changing the dpi from 320 to 240 in 'build.prop' will change everything to 240dpi (including the notification dropdown, etc)
If your going to change build.prop, then thats all you need to do. No need to change systemui in Xposed.
Edit: What I did, was edit "ro. sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro. sf.lcd_density=200" and saved it, reboot the phone. Then in App Settings (its the Xposed module used to change dpi for individual apps), changed all Samsung apps to 320 to have them function properly.
In your case, you would change "ro. sf.lcd_density=" to 240, then follow the rest of the instructions.

You dint read this completely , When you flash the file you will have the Xperia Z launcher and that is where you could make use of UI switcher,
and you will have to flash those files provided by BALA for Dial pad and camera so they dont crash
I've tested this on many roms and works like charm .
Okay so I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the DPI for the S4. What does everyone consider to be the best DPI for the S4? Is there an easy way to change the DPI in cyanogenmod? I am currently using Infamous v5 with 340 DPI. I like the the fact there are more icons on the screena and such but it does look a bit off. Also is there a way to change the DPI per app, to fix some of the apps issues that come up?

1) I like 360, but some apps I will go down to 340.
2) In CyanogenMod you can still use the Xposed Framework and Per-App DPI settings using the App Settings module.
3) As for the icons, in your launcher make your grid larger, I use 7 columns and 6 rows at 360 DPI with 95% icon size and it looks amazing. All in Apex Launcher for me.

I have heard of issues for certain apps not showing up in the Play Store, is that a recurring problem?
Kinda dumb question, I have been trying to find a clear and easy way to install Xposed Framework on The Cyanogenmod Nightly on my S4, any suggestions or links you could send my way?

So I am using the "App Settings" Xposed mod to change the DPI of my Nova Launcher to be denser (yes, I know I can change the grid size and stuff, but I want EVERYTHING to be denser). Unfortunately, that seems create an offset of my Zooper "Hotspots" . I have my Nova DPI at default now, but is there anyway I modify the DPI while still having Zooper hotspots work?
Thanks.

Changing the DPI will undoubtedly mess with Zooper widgets. It might help if the icons and hotspot areas are attached the same anchor but, apart from that, there isn't all that much you can do to stop it playing about.
Besides, you only change the DPI once, so you only have to adjust your widgets once and that'll be sorted for good.
