Hi everyone!
So, let's suppose that we have a rooted LG G3 (done with the current rooting methods), running stock ROM. Because I always like to cramp as many widgets on the home screen as possible, I want to change the DPI density of the screen (usually 3-rd party launchers allow you to only rescale the shortcuts, but not the widgets). We coud use the Texdroider app from the Play store, but it changes the DPI globally, so I'm worried it might harm the phone... Another way would be to install Xposed Framework - but can it be installed already safely at this point?
Of course ruining the stock Launcher by changing the DPI is not a problem, as I always use some 3-rd party Launchers that can handle layouts more flexibly
I'm also interested in changing LCD density on G3.
Has anyone done it?

Tnx, but I was thinking on global change. On my old GS2 it was matter of simply editing build.prop file.
My setting was 182 which was great. But I remember that if you over do it, phone will not boot and without nandroid backup it is quite risky.

Use Textroid - You can use Build.Prop it'll work fine, just go no lower than around 400 or you will run into issues (for the record stock is 650)

Actually 640 is default.
Anyway, 530 is the lowest value. Any below that and apps will start to FC.
Pitty, because on 450 screen is amazing!

I went to 480 and lost icons (they became little green androids) I had to set back to 650 for default in order for it to show properly again.

It is not much as I expected, but still it is better then stock density.
It's a keeper.
changed it to 580 and its bootlooping now. any help?
well...this is kinda roundabout so it works and I'm not complaining...I disabled or removed all of my AT&T apps and the useless LG ones...so I set my dpi to 450 and changed the per app dpi to 530 for the lg apps...problem solves...especially since I barely use the lg apps.

I did the same thing and I'm stuck on this wretched infinite boot loop. Did you get any help on this if so can you please post the fix to your woes?
EDIT: So I tried to use the built-in factory reset ... nothing doing. STILL boot looping. I'm wondering if I should start panicking now? haha

LG apps can't go below 530 DPI. You'll need to individually them to 530 or higher to keep them from crashing.

Hi All,
Does anyone know of a good DPI for the Find 7a? the stock 480 is a bit big for me.
I now DPI is a subjective thing, but I don't want to pick one where apps don't run properly.

320 is probably way too low, and that's the next valid step down.
(In theory, 400 was added by Android 4.4, however while Android supports it, the Play Store does NOT so you'll encounter lots of app compatbility issues - see the various complaints stemming from the Z Ultra GPe running a 400 DPI configuration.)

The option to change the system DPI is built into Dirty Unicorns, however, I have used texdroider DPI app on stock roms, but sometimes stock ROMS throw a fit.

Ah!
That one i tried and it din`t work....
When I changed the DPI I ran somewhere around 400 and used a modified play store to get around the incompatible error. Then Google started updating the play store too much and the dev for the modified play store fell behind and I just went back to default DPI. When I find the thread I'll link it.
Find what? Who the heck is OPPO?

Hi,
I have rooted and loaded OxygenOS 3.2.2 stock full rom.
If I add the density line in build.prop, it doesn't change the DPI.
Please see attached screenshot from edited build.prop.
If I change DPI using the toolkit for oneplus 3 found here at Xda, the DPI is changed.
But I get some graphical issues. See attached images.
In one image, as you can see, the editors choice icon gets very big.
In one, the pictures in price spy all are zoomed in by default (and can't be zoomed out.
1) Why can't I change DPI just by editing build.prop?
2) How can I fix the graphical issues after I've changed DPI (using toolkit)? (I'm guessing that I will have the same issue if succeeding to change DPI using build.prop?)

Sorry. But it doesn't work. None of the options in the app.
The only thing working is to change DPI with Oneplus 3 Toolkit. But then I get the graphical issues.

Change DPI issue.
What are you guys using an app for? just open up Terminal Emulator and run:
su
wm density 420
(You can change the value to whatever, higher makes the DPI less)

Sure. But it should be able to change in build.prop file.
But the issue is the graphic examples above. Please see them.

I have not noticed any issues, is it possible some values are just not quite right for the actual screen?
right now my DPI is set to 400 and my display looks great.

Please check an app in play store that is editors choice, and submit a screenshot.

That's really strange. Guess I have to try your way of changing dpi.
Sent from Oneplus 3
Try it and see, I am not trying to troll you at all honestly, let me know how it works out!
I have had my DPI at 400 via this method for about two weeks now and noticed no aberrations of any kind.
BTW, I am on stock OOS with all the updates, rooted, TWRP, Xposed framework installed.
Tried your way now. Both 420 and 400. Still the same issue. So strange.
Is it possible that something got ****ed up when trying this, the toolkit, le dpi changer, and textdroid for changing dpi?
Sent from Oneplus 3
If You have used this Toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
then you used this method:
adb shell wm density "value"
try this:
adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm density reset
or just in the toolkit choose reset dpi in the DPI changing menu
then reboot and use le dpi changer with the build.prop option
I'm using this for some time and no glitches
Always reboot after changing the build.prop file

I'm using Resurrection custom rom and under display setting can change LCD density 320,360,400,440,480,520,560 and default is 480dpi. A message prompt "Some apps may not function at non-standard DPI" so I assume the standard value should be 480dpi.
I'm on stock with latest update, TWRP, and root. I use 3C Toolbox to edit build.prop adding the line ro.sf.lcd_density and a value of 401. I would try one app at a time to change the DPI with.

I've been through the build.prop extremely thoroughly but can't find even a mention of the LCD density. Anybody have any luck with changing their DPI?
Had the same problem and also no luck with different apps. But "Le DPI changer" works for me.

You have to be rooted, but I assume you are as you tried to change the build.prop. And you need to reboot after the change.
You can change dpi in adb without root. I'm kind of busy right now but it's easy to find on Google

Correct, phone is rooted. The problem is ro.sf.lcd_density isn't present anywhere in the build prop to edit. I've been setting my DPI this way on all my past phones and tablets, this time it's just not there for me to edit
