Open it in root explorer/solid explorer and edit the LCD density line.

I use ROM toolbox lite. It requires root (duh), reboot afterward. Some Roms will allow per-app DPI changes.
Reboot after change. After changing/updating a ROM you will need to change the DPI again.
I recommend visiting Reddit.com/r/nexus4 for better info (good info gets voted up, bad info gets voted down)
Also check out Reddit.com/r/androidquestions for general info.

[Q] How can I change the 3 botton color of Nexus 4?

As I saw someone changed the 3 button to red color , is it a apps or rom ?
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It's the apk modification. This can be done in many custom ROM and via zipthemer or metamorph for those who had stock ROM or just a rom that doesn't support it. Both ways, you must be rooted and must have stock recovery.

Resolution not being correct ??

Hello guys I was trying out an app " themer beta " from play store ,and apparently my screen resolution isn't compatible .App has an option were it tells you your screen resolution and its incorrect , I don't know if its the app itself not reading it correctly or idk ???
Sent from my LG-VS980 using xda app-developers app
It's correct because the softkeys take the remaining resolution

Yup. DPI is 480 stock.
Tip. Try 400 DPI using TexDroider app.

thought i'd give themer a try today. with changing the dpi to 400 i still have a resolution reported by themer as 1822x1080. so still cant search for themes. it seems in order to get back to 1920 that themer wants you to have i would have to put the dpi somewhere in the 200's. not doing that. heh. at 480 stock dpi the reported resolution was at 1802x1080.
What liti said is correct. Only by hiding the navbar you can get the full resolution. Changing the dpi makes the navbar smaller hence the reason you get a higher resolution.

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns

there are a few ways of getting your own bootanimation
a) apps such as rom toolbox
b) apply a rom theme with bootanimation (i use andriod L theme)
c) create your own from stratch = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852621
d) create your own from gif files = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559670
rom toolbox is quick and easy and will allow you to change resolution as well..

Are these HD. They've been scaled-up, but carefully chosen to look nice on the N5.
