Is it possible to make changes to dpi scaling on a miui stable Rom?
My status bar is extremely narrow and I would like to make it a little bit more visible as in Aicp Rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're not rooted and u don't want to root then

So the thing I enjoy most about slimbean is the "night" setting and the smaller sizes.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the part that determines the general sizes is the LCD density, and for slim its at 245.
Are there any ROMs that also use the same LCD density (if that is what's causing the small size)?
I'm mainly wondering because it uses its own Gapps package so that it could do this night mode where everything is black.
But I want to use the new gmail and other gapps that just came out more than I want night mode
You don't have to use the SlimBean GApps with the Slim ROMs, but have a look at CarbonROM (has Dark Carbon settings and you can change LCD density).

I use LiquidSmooth (what Carbon is based off of) and used to use their method to change the DPI. But recently, I've discovered the XPosed Per-App DPI settings included in the Rom. With it I can manually adjust the DPI of any program to make it whatever I want. The thing I like about this is that I don't have to mess with the Play Store (no more errors when trying to download apps). That, and some apps don't play well with a modified dpi on our phone.
I can go through and make google calendar 240 dpi and see how it functions, then change it to 190 an see how it works. I change Nova's setting to make the launcher look more like Slim Rom's (the Rom that made me fall in love with switching the DPI). It works really well and is worth a test drive, in my opinion.

So I tried to install it, and I got this assert failed problem, which links to this solution. Did you flash the odex, deodex, or 3rd rom? I'm just confused, since I would have to install a gapps for the 4.1.2 JB. did you do any of that?
edit - my broadband is mc3

No, you need to read the guys post again. He says to update your bootloader to MD4 to fix it, not to flash one of the stock roms.

When I change the DPI on any custom rom, why does it spoil recents?
The recents menu becomes blacked out, unless I revert to original DPI.
Fixed-It was a problem with my theme

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
Is there a way to decrease the height of the navbar?
Before I used Gravitybox to do so but no longer possible because I upgraded to Nougat.

Stock is 48dip. How small do you want it? Here is my thread and there are probably others that do it as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/mods-7-1-1-official-statusbar-navbar-t3515355
Thanks! Despite searching quite some time I didn't come across your thread. Will give it a try asap. 3 questions:
Even if I only want smaller navbar, I still need to flash the minit app and the signature file?
And what's the difference btw navbar and dynamic navbar?
Will the stock nougat navbar tweaks still be available afterwards?

If all you want is a smaller navbar, in the Aroma options, just choose the size you want. The navbar size is a framework mod and does not require the base. However, for anything else to work you must flash a base first or you systemui will fc. After flashing a base you will need to choose the navbar height you want again. The base is 36 dip.
The 3 Minit resources app is only necessary if you choose to flash the 3minit mod. Dynamic navbar is where your navbar changes to the same color as the statusbar but it doesn't work for all apps. Signature disable can help make your System easier to mod by disabling signature checks. :laugh:
I've been using Android Nougat for quite few months now and in it I used to change the display size to small in Display settings.
Have switched back to stock sense marshmallow for some reasons. Can anyone help me change the display size on Sense Marshmallow like Nougat ?
@ckpv5 can you help me ?

Yes, I know Nova is an option but it just resizes the home screen and app drawer, not the whole system.
I'm looking for something that can change the whole system display size like in Nougat.

Just change the default value of
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
in build.prop to your preferable value.
When running stock, mine is
ro.sf.lcd_density=400
Or use dpi changer app like Easy DPI Changer (from Play Store) if your stock ROM is rooted and write protection disabled.

I tried changing DPI Density through adb with wm density command as I'm not rooted. The density changed but icons on lock screen and the switches in settings were broken.
I was trying to change it to 432 which was the density when I selected small in nougat display settings.
Which lockscreen version ?
I'm on htc lockscreen 8.04.879556 (apkmirror), no issue.

Stock Lockscreen. 7.50.653327, I RUU'ed. Should I install from apk mirror with nodpi ?
Doesn't matter no dpi or 480. I always go for no dpi whenever available.
