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.

hi guys, i haven't rooted my replacement GN2 after I returned my first one.
I was wondering, are there any roms that allow you to lower your dpi to below 200, I prefer to use 167 dpi when i had my Amaze4G, and would like to do the same with GN2 (i want to maximize this 5.5" screen).
Also, can the samsung keyboard work on the lower dpi? On the GN2 I initially had, once I lowered the dpi, the keyboard crashes.
Touchwiz based roms mostly work on the stock Dpi which is 320. Anything below like 280 can really start to screw things up. Like phone dialer button placement is offeset same with the keyboard and other sammy apps like the built in camera app. But you can get other apps to replace those Sammy apps and whatever dpi you have set should work fine with them.
Now if you dont care for Touchwiz then try a AOSP Rom those work on any Dpi's.

I am using tweaked rom and xposed framework with xposed app settings apk to adjust each apps dpi (should work on any rom ) this way I set systemui to 240, along with some apps and leave touch with stuff at 320 stock.

Heres the Link and How-To's for the Xposed Framework.

Will that work n touchwiz based rom? I cannot use AOSP since I use the spen quite frequently, and from what i've read, aosp/aokp disables the button on the s-pen, and not to mention I like the samsung keyboard alot, with the numeric keys visible on top...
Also, I rooted using the 2nd option in the how to root (using the CF Auto root).... Using this method, can I still install custom roms? I don't want to use the 1st option with the CWM +SuperSU method as that disables the allshare cast functionality, and triangle away can't seem to return the count to 0 when used with that rooting method.
Which TW roms would you suggest that has the wifi tether working and unlocked?
I recently got the smart dock that lets me output to my LCD monitor from my Note 2. However everything looks a little blown up since it mirrors the screen exactly. Not exactly space-efficient.
I understand that changing the DPI to 280 or 240 will effectively make everything smaller (and thus appear higher-res) on the monitor output. I just wanted to ask some questions before trying this since I heard it 'breaks' certain apps.
Is there a way to switch DPI on-the-fly?
Was thinking of something like switching to 240dpi when I plug it into the dock so the output on the monitor doesn't look so blown up? I've never tried to use the phone at 240dpi all the time since I haven't really had a problem with the stock resolution.
Are certain apps completely unusable at 240dpi? I'd rather not have to download alternatives for a whole bunch of apps.
Currently running a stock 7105 ROM with basic tweaks like unlimited multiwindow apps, extra toggles and extended power menu. There is a version of the ROM that adds 240dpi with 'Xposed' but I'm not really sure what that is.
Would appreciate some advice
No need to flash another rom, and just search and download xposed installer and then install xposed app settings app. You can set individual dpi for every app on your phone including your launcher. That way if you have certain apps that break with lower dpi then you can individually set a higher or default dpi for those apps. I hope this helps you.

That would be perfect! I'll give it a try. Thanks!!!
Post updating to UVMC6, I've tried changing my PPI via the build prop. I think 240 makes everything too big; ~213 is perfect. When making these changes, all the stock applications such as calculator, camera, email, and the like become distorted. However, the notification dropdown and SMS are just perfect.
Is there a way to change the PPI for most of the system and exclude applications such as those aforementioned?
Search for xposed installer apk and xposed app settings. These two allow you to change dpi per individual apps like the dialer.
It works on cm, but I've not tried on touchwiz.

So to clarify, I can keep my PPI at 213 via the build prop & whichever apps look distorted, I can change to 240 individually via xposed installer& xposed app settings?
Exactly
The homepage and app drawer look funny as well. It's probably my only reason I moved away from twiz, the limited grid size.
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!
After rooting the ATT 810 G4, I figured I'd go ahead and change the DPI settings through the build.prop. This has been a great improvement of the UI experience, however it looks like the QuickCircle app becomes unusable. Just wondering if anyone else has changed the DPI setting and knows how to keep the normal DPI setting for the QuickCircle app. It seems like per app DPI would be the way to go, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve that right now on the G4. Many thanks in advance!
Without xposed, it's quite difficult to change individual app dpi

That seems to be the case. Thanks. I think I'll be waiting until xposed comes out for the G4 until I start using my circle case again.

I've found that if you use a digital clock for it just the white circle is off Center (accuweather one works fine)
The weirdest thing about this is that the call handling part of the quick circle (I.e. if you are on a call, the phone is ringing etc.) fits absolutely fine.
The circle highlight swish (technical term) doesn't line up either, but the call stuff does. Very odd
Has anyone figured out how to get the circle highlight light working the correct way?
I got the clock aligned correctly but i didnt find the app responsible for the light circle.
/edit
Got it
These are the apps which i changed to stock DPI via App Settings:
com.lge.lockscreensettings
com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings
com.lge.sui.widget
com.lge.smartcover
com.lge.clock
