DPI Settings

I know for the S7 edge I was able to access the hidden menu (via nova launcher) for "condensed" which changed the DPI to fit more on the screen. I did not happen to notice that on the Note 7. Besides using ADB commands , anyone figure out how to sit more ? I see content scaling in the dsipaly menu which helped a bit. But I still see more on my S7 Edge screen in condensed mode then on my note 7. Having .2 bigger screen but seeing less doesn't make sense for me and may go back to the edge (though i like the spen )

The display settings have a section called "Content Size" or something. This is the same feature where you pick large or small... you actually picked this option when you did the initial phone setup as well. I think it's still way too damn big, but changing the DPI breaks **** too. Hopefully Nougat will make things a lot better like they do on the 6P.

Its under Settings --> Content Scaling. It is set to large by default.

I didn't have anything break but my device was running much slower when set to small.

If you want more on the screen go with 5x5 Screen grid, under home screen settings.

Setting to small doesn't break anything because it is a built-in setting. And it shouldn't slow down your device.
Using ADB wm density command WILL break some stuff... like Android Pay/Samsung Pay, and built-in apps will be incorrectly displayed.

can someone tell me what the STOCK DPI values are for "standard" and "condensed" mode? (it can be checked with DPI Checker from play store)

New dpi via adb?

Hi
I'm trying to change dpi in adb. Adb finds the device but when I'm typing "adb shell wm density 380" it doesn't work.
Anyone knows why?
Thx in advance

Try going into developer options and enable the security setting to on.

What is the default dpi for mi max 3?

I think Xiaomi controlled the dpi using another variable, its called persistent density or something like that.. hence changing the normal density variable wont have any impact

You can change the DPI in MIUI by going to Settings > Additional settings > Accessibilty > Display size

Are USB debugging & USB debugging (Security settings) both enabled?
If I recall correctly, enabling USB debugging (Security settings) is a bit tricky.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-2/how-to/guide-changing-min-width-dpi-miui-9-t3736218
this can be helpful for you. My dpi is now 290. If you go higher google keyboard change tablet mode.

I was able to change it using Activity Launcher using the tutorial below:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1093064-1-1.html

Default dpi is huge even at the smallest setting. I am using 320 and it's perfect, can see a lot of content without being too small
Just make sure Developer options has USB debugging (Security settings) enabled and use adb shell wm density 320
Big difference. Would be a waste to not see more content on such a big screen but also understand some people's eye sight may not be as good so they prefer bigger objects
320 vs Small setting

I used this tool to change dpi:

tried this. but it doesnt seem to work. none of the layout is changing.

yup changing dpi without root is tricky. u need to enable security usb debugging. u need to use vpn apps.

got usb debugging on.
whats vpn tools?
anyway guys, thanks much. yea i have noticed that there are two options for usb debugging. look passed the other one.
now its working.

I just upgraded from Max 2 to Max 3... LOVE that i can change the DPI without rooting... had no trouble with either phone doing this. With the Max 2 i had it at 360, but with the Max 3 i'm trying 290....i may go up to 320 just because i need my glasses to see things like the battery % lol . No clue why Xiaomi didn't drop it below 400 out of the box but thrilled i can do it easily.

I use Font size 80%, Display size Custom (289), Smallest width 597 dp.
597 or 289dpi is the smallest dpi you can set before tablet mode is enabled in portrait mode.
If you rotate your phone watching a youtube video in full screen tablet mode is already enabled so the notification drawer is opened by swiping down on the left half side of the screen otherwise nothing will happen.
Setting Smallest width value is the easiest way to change dpi in the latest android versions.
Setting it to 596, 598 and 599 won't do anything.
It will either default back down to 595 or jump to 600 because it must represent a whole number in dpi.
It is crazy that pretty much ALL phones comes pre-configured out of the box at factory state with a dpi so large you can barely fit two words across the screen..really...I don't think anyone have this bad eyesight, if so then you need to get new glasses or lenses.
There are high index lenses out there that go to 1.9 and even beyond 2 if you really want to pay a lot if your prescription is crazy high to be able to enjoy a thin and light pair of glasses.
Like what is the purpose of getting a phone this big if you gonna have it display just as little as your old phone with third the screen size..isn't that why you wanted a bigger phone in the first place to get more screen estate, at least that's what I wanted..

I can't agree with you more. Just thankful it's so easy to change
On a side note...and i'm not sure it's related because I didnt' try before changing the dpi(i use the adb method)... my TSN app won't stream any channels. It gives me an error... i'm not sure if that's the DPI setting that caused it? Only app that doesn't work right. I'm going to have to play with that when i'm home from work as it worked on my Max 2 set at 360 no problems and the only main difference i can tell with the 2 phones is the version of Android.
Edit: nevermind it wasn't the DPI setting... i allowed TSN GO to work in full screen mode and that did it.
Love the phone!

Tablet Mode?

Is there any way to make all the apps act like the tablet version counterpart when opening the Fold? For instance, YouTube. On my S4, you can scroll through comments on the right side while watching video on the left. Also Flipboard. You can flip through screens in a Tablet, but the Fold only lets you scroll vertically when open.

You can change dpi/minimal width, if it's high enough apps get into tablet mode or even big tablet more

yes.
even if you change the text/scaling to the Smallest in the Display Settings, its not QUITE there as a setting for "Tablet Mode". you end up at like 742 DP or something if i recall correctly.
Step #1: enabling Developer Options. -> Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Tap the Build Number multiple times, until it says "You are now a Developer"
Step #2: back to Settings front page -> now, at the bottom under About Phone, you should see Developer Options -> In the Drawing portion -> Minimum Width: it should be around 742 DP like i mentioned earlier. -> now change this number to 800
changing it to 800 DP will ensure that your device will be in Tablet Mode all the time.
and since you're there in the Drawing portion: change the Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animator Animation Scale to: .5x
this will cut all your animation and transition times in half.
it is the only way to use this device if you ask me.
good luck!

Thanks for the great tips!

I've set it to 850 and it's amazing :3

Any idea what it's set to on the front screen? I adjusted mine and I can't get it back

Tablet mode
You can simply try to change DPI for apps

you can try the simple way (which doesn't seem to work anymore on newer androids): turn OFF Developer Options, and Restart your Phone.
if not,
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Settings -> Storage -> Clear Data
that should do it for you. a restart after clearing might not hurt too.
good luck!

It is 327

Is there any way to set the front screen dp separate from the main screen? When I set the min width to 800, the front screen's app title becomes way to small to read... Or is there any way to set font size for the front screen app icons?

hi just switched over to the s20 ultra just wondering does anyone know the best dpi that you can set in developer mode? Where everything is still displayed correctly
I would like everything like icons and text a bit smaller if possible
Thanks

Question 12 "Stable" Issues Thread

Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!

Another botched update from oneplus scams

Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???

- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.

App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?

it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12

Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.

Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...

Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.

I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.

Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?

I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.

Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached

Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.

Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.

I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.
