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.

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.
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

yes mine too, i used dpi 400 since rooted
dpi 400's fit to my eyes nicely better than 480 that too huge
Using exposed and app settings does anybody know what process or application I modify the DPI of in order to affect the size of the notification pull down?
SystemUI. However, it leaves a little bar at the top that apps don't draw on. It's like Samsung hard coded the number of pixels to use. If someone has a fix for that, I'd love it.

I got around it by changing dpi via build.prop. I needed the status bar and notification space. Without root and dpi changes there isn't near enough room for all my note is doing.

I'll have to try that. I've been avoiding it as some of the Samsung apps didn't handle it well on the note 2.

They still don't. You have to use xposed to set those back to 480.

The Note 2 is a 720 screen and the Note 3 is a 1080 so the DPI settings will be very different. I personally have been using 340 and like it. I would use 340 as a base line and go up or down from there to fine tune the size to your liking.
Thanks. That is perfect. Looks a lot better with that dpi, comparable to how I had my n2 in terms of real estate.

Is there a setting that can edited to make the status bar to go to the bottom? I'm missing that from my note 2 with the phablet view.

Thinking about getting the G3 once I get a upgrade but has anyone changed there dpi to something smaller. Do all the apps work? Does anything crash? What dpi setting right now...

I used Rom toolbox once I was rooted and changed mine to 600. No crashes at all and I tested a bunch of apps.

I'm running a 560 dpi setting right now. Been awesome.

560 here. The stock value just seemed oddly proportioned. Ya got 5.5 inches, use em!
But I also use Xposed App Settings to assign dpi on a per-app basis.
540 here.
530 master race
Also using 530 here without any problems.

Xposed / App Settings has no option to put the Smart Notice stuff back at 640dpi?
Nope doesn't fix it.... The LG weather widget fits perfect with 530 .... The smart notice doesn't
After change the resolution to full hd and 530 dpi i can't fix the doc icons,any help please.trying with app settings on xposed
Changing the DPI messes up the QuickCircle case display. Im using ART so xposed is no go to change it.
What are you guys using to change the dpi and what do.you recommend?
I'm stock rooted.

What is the maximum DPI setting?
For anyone that's reduced the dpi, specifically to 480, when you use the camera does the camera app take up the whole screen still? Mine only takes up a portion of it. Functions fine but odd look

Im just using xposed with the app settings module to change dpi.
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
Using app settings as well. Only issue is the way it shrinks the recent app windows
Root > RomToolBox > Edit buildprop and change lcd setting to 480
... also, installed xposed installer/framework > app settings
Using App settings, you can change the DPI of certain system apps back to 640 so that it shows up properly. I used the following guide which was created for note 2/note 3 but should be similar for note 4 as well.
Link below as essential apps that needs to be changed back to 640
