I have been trying for a while to get the right per app dpi settings with Songza to invoke the tablet display, but it seems like every combination I try I get the app to force close.
I'm not sure if I need to install a specific tablet version of the application from the market or if I can make the right DPI changes in App Settings.
I've included in screenshot of the tablet mode as a reference. Any help would be appreciated!

What is the advantages of this ROM? all input is appreciated.
Well, if you enjoy CyanogenMod, the hybrid Paranoid Android ROM is CM with additional customization options. You can run it just like CM, or you can switch between different UI options.
You can switch between many modes, phone, tablet, tablet big, phablet, phablet big, hybrid stock its great!

to me the only difference i notice is the options settings in settings, and the place of the notification bar please elaborate. i am using this rom dont get me wrong, but im trying to find the advantages in the different modes.
The main difference outside of the settings which was mentioned just above, is the way apps work. Devs build apps to work based on screen res, and a tablet has a higher DPI count, so they can create the app to look and work one way on DPI settings of x#+ and make it different for y#-. You can see examples of it in the gmail app where the inbox and folders are on the left while the message is viewed on the right as opposed to opening the message in a full window by itself. So aside from a greater amount of options and customization available to you, you could technically still run it as just a phone ROM.
so you would change the dpi of the app it self? and see changes? where would i be able to find proper settings for apps in tablet mode?

You don't need to change the "DPI" in the ROM, per say, it's more or less presets already in how the app would work. You would choose the app to run phone/phablet/tablet. The other roms let you change the DPI in the buil prop for the whole phone, which can cause some issues, but this rom changes how aspects work under a preset and leave the build.prop alone.
I don't know what you mean about proper settings in tablet mode.
So I am able to change DPI and screen resolutions for apps but there are many apps that I cannot get into tablet mode. So far I can only get gmail and my settings. I tried many different DPI's and resolutions for contacts, youtube.... is there a list of apps anywhere that this can be done or am I missing something completely? Such as downloading the tablet version or are my settings just wrong?

In the Xposed app settings, there is an option for Screen (dp). Usually setting it to higher resolution will make the app switch to tablet mode (800x1280 usually). For some app, you need to set the dpi of Play Store, forced stop, clear data and then install the app again to get the tablet version. I did this to get the tablet layout of Flipboard.
Hi,with KK i used a xposed plugin called "app setting " can permit to change per app DPI,now on lillopop there is a way to change dpi for Every single app?
There an app on the market called texdroid it works good on the g3 but as far as per app goes
any way to have a tablet ui?
Texdroider chages dpi on whole System. No per app setting. No tablet UI possibilities. We have to wait for Paranoid implementing the per app dpi setting or for xposed running under lollipop...
i would really like to this as well but TBH dont know if we will ever be able to, Xposed would probably never get update for lollipop!
unless someone decides to build an independent app that can do this we are doomed to use the default ugly looking DPI.
another option is to use CM12, its set to use 560 dpi by default and it looks great and there are no weird looking apps there. the speed is AMAZINGLY FAST. the only downside for me is the camera quality, its not a sharp as the pictures in stock rom.
anyway lets cross our fingures for a dev to make such an app.
I find the phone interface far more functional so I'm trying to get Chrome to use that instead of the default tablet one. (with tabs on top)
I tried changing DPI values with the Xposed module App Settings but I can't get it to trigger the phone mode, all I get is just a bigger/smaller tablet interface.
What am I doing wrong? Is it triggered by something else?
I'm on 6.0.1 and I'm using App Settings 1.13.
I have rooted my OnePlus 3 and I changed the dpi of the screen to 420. There's a couple of apps though that I need to keep at default because the don't look right. I know app settings from xposed is meant to change apps separately but for the life of me I can't get it to work on it doesn't matter what values I change nothing happens can anyone help?
I have no issues using App Settings Xposed module ... It works as intended.
Simple procedure:
- select the problematic app (in App settings)
- set DPI to 480
- tap "save" button
- restart device

Yes, the device needs to be restarted after setting something in App Settings, otherwise nothing happens. This is normal behavior since Android Lollipop.
I've done that multiple times. I've changed the dpi to 480 restarted the phone and its still looks messed up. I changed the dpi using terminal so I've set everything to 420 but there's 2 apps I want to keep at default. It won't work. Is there any other way?
The app in question is in red. Should it be in red? This is my first rooting of an android device so it's all new. Thanks for the help guys.
This is the settings I'm trying to use.
Yes, it should be red if it has modified setting.
I noticed one difference between your and my procedure - you changed DPI via terminal, I did it via build.prop edit.
Try setting the DPI back to 480 in terminal and edit the build.prop to get your desired DPI, then fix apps in App Settings.
