I myself find low scale dpi a really nice look.
I haven't tried 175 yet but I'll make sure to take a look at it.
Guess I should get a tablet to suit my needs lol.

I just like the look of high-res myself. If I could find a phone with a 4" 1080p screen I'd be all over it. LOL
That looks like ICS; does your phone app work at that DPI? I always had issues with that when I increased the DPI.
Yep. Its CM9 RC0 and phone app works fine.
Nice, thanks, I guess I'll have to give it a go again.
175 works great..I went into launcher setting and changed homescreen to 5x5 instead of the default 4x4. Makes the screen seem much bigger then it is.
I had to change it back to 200 cuz incoming calls crash my phone app although I was able to dial outgoing calls just fine.
That's odd, because when I set it to 175, I couldn't even dial. I've never been able to pull off that kind of setting on anything other than ParanoidAndroid and not have phone app FCs.
Go 160. 175 isn't an officially supported DPI for android
how do you change the dpi?

By build prop or LCD density app.

I tried 160 a bit earlier today and had the exact same issue with the phone app. I would be inclined to believe that it may be a matter of the phone app in our ROMs not supporting anything other than stock DPI without modification to the app itself.
I'm comfortable with 200. Everything works so far.....also I change mine using ROM Tools. Its a slider. But you can use Root Explorer to change the build.prop file as well. Either way works.

Hi,mate...This situation didn't happen to me...Since I'm using shubcraft v1.5...If not mistaken you are using Hyperdroid build,right?I think this problem related to the screen density...I'm using the shubcraft default screen density (which is 240),it works like charm...You may try to adjust it,since Hyperdroid build using lower screen density(so you see more spaces on the homescreen...
Here are some tips about how to change the screen DPI...click here
Hope this works...you may give it a try,see it goes...If all else failed,You can refer back to your Hyperdroid build thread...Pongsters already listed down plenty of useful tips about his build...
Cheers...
nice wallpaper..
can u share it???
thankx
Its always a good Idea to look at things twice. I say this because when i first saw it I thought it was awfully ugly. Second look I decide its not so bad.

Haha,yea,same here...its pretty cool launcher,it helps us categorise our apps...furthermore it includes widget as well...Thats great...unlike the Galaxy S launcher,we cant install touch wiz widget...
The home and their widget only supports 240 dpi. If not everything looks wrong.

i have it working good on my hd2 mattc 1.7 rom
Hi all, Loving my Nexus so far but would like to change the size of the Nav bar, there is no need for it to be so big!
I am running AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus and it has easy options to change the nav bar size.
Does anyone know of a way to change it on the Nexus 7? I am happy to flash a zip if thats what is nessary but I dont really want to flash a whole new rom.. Any help appreciated!
you could do what im doing, waiting it out until a full blown, feature filled AOKP JB ROM comes out. until then, im just gonna deal with it :/ its not so bad

Just change the DPI. Bonus...get tablet UI!
I'm running 160 with no issues on anything.
Yeah think I will wait till AOKP comes out.
Hey Ace! Just a heads up in case you didnt know you can get Tablet UI without touching the DPI settings.
Thing is changing the DPI to 160 causes a lot of apps to resize wrong and the text is tiny. In the devs section there is a patch that enables Tablet UI without changing DPI. Its works great, I recommend it!

I would like to know this too. I'm using glazed which I like but I want to increase the bar sizes both navigation and status.
If its just a tweak in a file somewhere it would be nice. Anyone know?
I use Go Launcher and disable it. Anything I want to see on the home screen I just add a widget.

Hi guys,
I did do a search but couldnt find an answer to this. I have just rooted and installed PA rom to my phone to use the extended desktop etc. Thing is, there are 3 different tablet ui on their settings which i dont really understand? all are 1000p but diff dpi settings. Seems that if i 'lower' my dpi everything gets smaller, surely that should be the other way around as normally higher dpi = crisper image doesnt it? What ui are people using on PA?
I clicked on the help bit of the pa settings and it shows changing some stuff on the youtube app to make it look different but that doesnt seem to work either, was that only for tablets to get the 3d menu effect?
Thanks all
It's very easy. Dpi = size. That's it. Forget all this Tablet mode nonsense from the past. Dpi makes apps bigger or smaller nothing more.
Now apps bring layout containers, the programmer defines them. These containers tell the app how it should look on various devices and screen sizes. Paranoid android can read the actual layouts out of any app. And you can choose of course, again, app per app.
Every app on your system can have it's own size and layout. Everything is nicely listed on the hybrid manager. System Ui, the app that displays bars is no difference. We treat it in the same way. " tablet mode" means simply we set it to it's highest layout. There's several settings because you can decide how big you want it, these are presets that's all. You can finetune it in the interface section. Play around with it, almost nothing needs a reboot, not even switching UI's.
I sometimes wish xda would not ignore us. They haven't featured hybrid engine at least once so people still don't know what it is.
Ps here's a mini tutorial

Right column sets Skype into a higher UI. This is how it looks on a nexus 10. Try any app you like there's literally hundreds with awesome UIs that work great on your phone.

Thanks for the help mole, yeah i think i realise how the dpi works now it just confused me as i thought higher dpi would = smaller crisper text but i am clearly confusing that with resolution (thought they were the same thing).
Appreciate the mini tutorial will just keep playing with it
Hi,
Since the last Chrome update I've noticed that when zooming in on a website (these forums for example) that one post will be in a large font and another post will have a tiny font.

I've gone back to the older version and everything works fine. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there was a solution other than downgrading?
I've noticed the same thing since the new update. I've also noticed that when you click on something. It doesn't flash blue anymore to indicate that it was pressed. Plus, when you first enter a website and start scrolling around before it's fully loaded. The page will automatically scroll back to the top when it's done rendering. My Nexus S used to do that and it drove me crazy. Hope they send out a quick fix for all this stuff. On another note, how does Google not notice these glitches before an update is released?.. Boggles my mind sometimes.
I've also noticed that when zoomed out the display is no where as crisp as it used to be. For example reading xda full screen in portrait it was quite easy to read, now it is quite blurred and the letters run into each other.
Chrome is a disaster, I really wish Google would sort it out, as I love the desktop version.

Is that what we are leaving it at? That it's a disaster? Firefox does this too. After searching, I haven't found a solution. Has anybody?

I think this is a good feature. Yes, it doesnt look like real page but i am reading texts more comfortable with this feature. Anyway, its not a disaster..

My workaround to still using chrome/chrome beta on xda, is to scroll down to the 'quick style chooser' and change it from 'xda 2013 beta' to 'xda 2010' that seems to totally sort out the wonky formatting on my nexus 4.
The feature is called Font Boosting in Chrome, or Font Inflation in Firefox for Android.
I don't think it can be disabled.
Dear all,
My phone rooted using method root de la vega, stock room BMJ1 firmware.
i hate the notification font is too large, and i tried to search around there are no way to set it smaller like really small, and when i have lots of notifications coming in, i need to scroll all the way down, can i cant preview the most of the notification text (too large).
Is there any apps or setting in the phone can change the size of the fonts or the drawer size to smaller ?

You can change the dpi for system.ui using xposed framework with the app settings module. You could also change the dpi globally in the build prop.

I realise how late this reply is, but I was having the same issue and I figured it out
I found that changing the DPI to 420 shrinks it down just right but you can play with the number to get the size you want, a bigger number means that the elements are bigger.

Have the same issue - notification too big. Want to shrink it down.
When I change the DPI, can you limit this to just the notification? If so, which setting applies to this?
Any chance you can upload a sample? Be good to see it Thanks!

I think he just changed it globally. But if you use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377
you can change the dp for systemui.apk only.
