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.

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:

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.

Dpi att e980

Hey if anyones curious you can run from 380 dpi on up. There arent any ill effects and it makes the ui real sharp looking.
If you drop to 320 it will FC home but will give ya the aosp lockscreen, i didnt mess with it or drop 320-380 but if you have luck or care to elaborate heres the place!

I tried that tutorial to the word, but it didn't seem to make the icons in the other launchers look any better, so I put it all back to stock.
You guys know what the deal is with multiple DPI related build.prop values on the device whats the purpose, and what is this devices actual DPI?

You have to reboot every time for the changes to take effect, after changing the line ro.sf.lcd.density from 480 to the value you desire you have to reboot if after you reboot if it still looks the same then I don't think build.prop was not mounted as writable. The default density value for the Optimus G pro is 480, I have mine set at 400 and this is how it looks like.

I know that at least with apex launcher, you can set the size of the icons within the settings. Maybe nova or other launchrs are the sameb

SM-P600 - DPI Recomondations ?

I have SM-P600 2014 edition. Looking for any recommendation to increase DPI. Default is 320 I am thinking of 250. Couldnt do it using BuildProp Editor. I am rooted with stock recovery.
Any suggestions ?

I wouldn't do this if i were you. I heard somebody else tried to do this and after restarting his tablet, it went into a bootloop.

Worst thing that can happen is that you have to flash a firmware via odin
If I remem er correctly there is an app called "pimp my rom" which has tons of options. There you were able to change the dpi. I would perform a backup first and then try

Thanks for the response. How do I backup ? I have not installed custom recovery yet. is there a way to backup through stock recovery ?
Btw I tried changing with BuildProp Editor (always worked on HTC) but for whatever reason after reboot dpi is resetting back to 320.

Best off using Xposed and installing App Settings so you can change individual apps DPI and leave the system ui alone !

DPI
Xposed and App settings - set system and android to 240 dpi.
Keeps the notification bar narrow. Alternatively, use Fullscreen.
Launcher icon size will needs tweaking up and a few other quirks like keyboard. Stock Google keyboard adjusts automatically but others may need tweaking down to around 160 dpi.
Adjust other apps to your personal taste.

I have wanam exposed. Is that what you use? How many different xposed mods are there out there?

He uses "App Settings". Just look into your Xposed Installer App. Go to"download". There you can see the available mods

You got screens please bro

Can someone please educate me as to why you would want to do this.

240 is the best imo. I used Texdroider Dpi to change. Simple and fast, dwl from playstore. free.

Is there a dpi setting that brings the notification drawer to the bottom again?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

AFAIK, LineageOS has set to 800 dpi.

change DPI for just pulldown notifications panel?

I'm looking around in xposed App Settings, what do I change if I just want to adjust the DPI of the pulldown notifications so that more notifications are visible?
thanks

SystemUI so you might as well just reduce the DPI systemwide. 530 seems to be the magic number. If you're using LG Home, make sure that you set it's DPI back to 640 manually or there might be problems with LG widgets.

I used an app called texdroider. Worked well. How do I keep the lock screen on the stock dpi though? I have the quick view case and now the clock looks so small.

Same. I did 540 and it shifted the clock in my quick circle case left. Needed to use all settings to change system ui to 640 for the clock to align correctly.

I have tried modifiying com.lge.clock as someone suggested in a different thread:

Could not figure it out and have asked the person there.
If you can also share what all settings you did to get the clock resized and positioned right again with the modified dpi please?

I used xposed and appsettings to change just the systemui to dpi of 640 and the clock aligned correctly.

DPI Question

Hello,
Had anyone changed their DPI settings on this phone? My DPI on the Note 3 wad 480 or 320 to maximize screen real estate.
How would I go about doing that on this phone?
Thank you.

Edit build.prop (lcd density) in the system folder. Mine is 640.

Are there any apps that need to be kept at the original DPI for them to look correct?

AFAIK, it's personal preference as to appearance. But there have been reports that Bluetooth pairing that requires a pin code may not pop-up if dpi isn't set properly. 640 is stock but some have reported that 620 is the best for sacs ports. Certain buttons may appear odd or not apportioned correctly with small dpi.
You can set individual per app dpi with Xposed module "App Settings". For older users' eyes, 640 or 620 dpi may be sufficient for all apps.
