Hello,
A great colleague of mine who also owns a xperia S like me
loaded SlimNasomi rom (I think 4.2.2) and did change lcd DPI.
Screen displays more info and icons are smaller. Look nice.
Is it a way to do it with official 6.2.b.1.96 rom ?
I found a thread on a forum about root'ing the phone and
updating a file build.prop in /system, updating ro.sf.lcd_density
I even found an app 'Google Play DPI Fix Tool'
Did anyone already try to play with LCD DPI's ?
Thanks. Cheers from Belgium,
Thierry
I use Texdroider DPI - it worked on stock JB, rooted.

It changes build.prop to desired dpi. I use it because it's faster and it really works. I tried on stock ROM, OpenSEMC and letama's AOSP 4.3.
And what is the range of values to stay in to avoid an endless bootloop?
yes that's the question, What value did you use for. in .200 fw i used a lcd density changer soft (don't remember the name) and guess what i got endless loop. I used 244 or something like that.
I usually use 240 and I didn't have any problems with that dpi.
It is standard Android dpi so most apps work just fine. Stock ROM look good but it has some minor offsets (gradient in notification bar as far as I remember).
I have been talking about this in the themes section in an old thread. I keep seeing people have issues with the dpi apps. I personally just edit build prop manually as it is not hard. I use Anttek explorer for my file browsing and edits. I would also suggest you try Xposed framework and per app dpi module. The magic LCD number is 192 for tablet mode. If you set home to 160 it goes into tablet mode but the status bar will not combine at the bottom. There is also another xposed module that forces tablet mode and works well but is still buggy. You also loose small apps.
There is a way to force tablet mode with out the dpi change but I have to figure out how to do that and even then not sure it will actually work. Need to ask some smali experts to help me.
... and what about if in endless bootloop ? ... :crying:
You must make backup before any modifcations
Yea it is a great idea to have a backup when messing with the system. If something goes wrong you can just go back to where you started.
first of all S3V3N aweosome work for the ROM, im always flash ur ROM.
i have a question n need some information, in previous version 7.2 i can change the density into 540, but after i flash ur new version 7.3 cant change the density everytime i change to 540 n then reboot no changes, still the same at 640. maybe i miss something, please need ur guidance...thank u very much
Hey,
I downloaded app "textdroid dpi" but it doesn't change my dpi.
I am on stock GPE 5.1 ROM with root ofcourse.
Any suggestions please?
I have looked into the build.props file but there is no line for the dpi value.
Hi All!
So just got this phone , its rooted etc.
Just curious - anyone find a way to change DPI?
Texdroider doesnt seem to work at all - doesn't detect what its at currently and changing it seems to have no effect.
I saw a thread about changing DPI on non-rooted , but does anyone know of an app that works to do this?
For reference - this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/dpi-change-t3161491
I dont really mind running ADB commands but would prefer a different solution as im unable to use ADB at the moment ( work pc )
Any information appreciated - thanks!
FYI i have 4gb ram 2.3 ghz model if that makes any difference.
I don't have the phone to try it out but how about the good old way of editing build.prop?
Install a Terminal emulator. Open the app, then type "SU" > then "wm density *DPI*" Ex. wm density 460.
I'm pretty happy with 400 DPI.
Hello,
I actually try to change (reduce) the DPI resolution of my D855, i have find and follow this thread but my phone get botloaps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/root-how-to-change-resolution-dpi-t3125722
So i have find this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=fr_FR
I have test with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=fr_FR
It as working but the Multi-DPI Patch is not compatible with Cloudy ROM so stock apps not working..
I want to reduce my screen resolution to 430 DPI, anyone have a solution ?

You can:
1) Reduce dpi to 530. This is still in xxxhdpi range, and it looks better than 640.
2) Switch to AOSP-based rom.
And, finally, the hardest one:
3) Copy all stock apk's resources from xxxhdpi to xxhdpi. Find apps, in which layout is irreparably broken in xxdpi, decompile and mod their layout with apktool (or Virtuous Ten Studio, as it's a complete IDE for decompiling and modding apk's).

Ok, thank you very much :good:
So i think that i will test AOSP based ROM and i will tell you if it as working
Edit:
@ YaDr
Can you tell me what AOSP based ROM is not based on CM dev ?
Finally, after my tests:
For now, its not possible to change propeply and permanently the DPI resolution on stock based ROM like Cloudy ROM or Lion ROM.
Its work on customs ROM like CM & AOKP & others like Paranandroid, Omni, Vanilla, SlimBeam, MIUI.........(if you don't see an option after install the ROM or on the main thread of it).
For exemple, on Euphoria ROM, there is an option to change DPI display
