You can change it in a build.prop editor. I'm using 280DPI with no Play Store compatibility issues on my nodded and tweaked Slim Bean Beta2 build. I think if you keep the DPI in a certain "stock" range you won't have any issues.

Since I won't get to mess with my S3 until Monday, just curious... what's everyone think about stock DPI (306, if I remember right)? On my Note I found 240 to be perfect over the stock 320.

It's at 320 stock I haven't changed it yet.

Just changed it to 240 and TouchWiz crashed repeatedly. I had to double tap hope and have SVoice launch the play store and download apex. With apex it looked great, like my note did. So I then changed it to 280 and touchwiz didn't crash but looked jacked up I just returned to stock. Hope this helps.

Are you modifying the build.prop directly, or do you have an app you use? Looking for recommendations...
Thanks for the feedback. On my Note (rooted), I used ROM Toolbox to adjust DPI... worked perfectly.

The dialer, s voice, notification screen and some other elements are not friendly to lower DPI. I changed the dpi to 240 and had to change it back because it didn't look right.

Didn't want to post this in the dev topic, so figured I'd bring it back here... anyone know of any plans to dev for multi DPI? There was quite a bit of it for the Note... granted the screen is .5" bigger. Just wondering because I've had mine at 280 and thought that was about right, but changed it back to 320 because of some app incompatibilities.
is there any method for changing dpi for an app
i want to use Sketchbook pro app without changing all dpi because S note not Working well on 240 dpi

Yup. My note 2 is rooted stock and I have different dpi settings for different apps.
Everything you need is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012770
The mod that uses the framework at the beginning of that thread is on page 15 ish.
The best thing about it is that it doesn't need flashing and you can just turn it on and off as you like.
Hi.
I just upgraded to CM10.1 on my 16gb wifi n7, and I'm looking for away to install the games that I previously had on AOKP 4.1 and stock 4.2.
They come up as "incompatible" on the Play store.
The apps that don't work include MC3, Shadowgun Deadzone, Asphalt 7 and Dark Meadow.
Is there a way around this?
Did you install any of the "tablet ui" mods or change your dpi in the build.prop?

Once again I will ask, because I haven't found anything yet.
Is it possible to modify the N7-launcher (or maybe Trebuchet, since I'm running CM 10.1) to match the look of the Nexus 10-launcher in landscape mode?
What I mean is this: http://cdn2.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images/7189289/DSC_2121-hero_large_verge_super_wide.jpg
As you can see, in landscape it preserves the layout we only have in portrait.

On Android 4.2, set DPI to 160. I don't recommend it, everything is so small.

It doesn't look bad though if you have good eyesight

I knew that, but it really is small. Not the launcher, but the rest. I think you gave me an idea: If I use PA, I could just set Trebuchet to 160dpi - maybe that should work.

Why would you want to strain your eyes using DPI 160?

I don't want to, that's why I don't simply set the density to 160 dpi!
Using PA works great. I've set everything to stock 213 dpi, except from the launcher. It is set to 160 dpi, 720p. That works the way it should and the smaller icons on the launcher are really ok.

Is it possible to change DPI settings in unrooted 4.3 on I9505G?
I really hate larger icons that I have now after OTA from 4.2.2.

Not without root. It's pretty much akin to wanting to change your car's oil without accessing the engine... not going to happen.

Once you root you can change it in build.prop (but you would want to back up this file first so that your next OTA wouldn't bail on the checksum for this file.) There are also various apps in the play store that fiddle with density. Just search for "build.prop density" in the forums.
Or you could use Xposed framework with the app settings module to have per app control over density and resolution.
