Hi,
I have just changed density on my Nexus 4 with LCD Density Modder and now I can't boot :-/.
My N4 is rooted and I have CWM. I tried to go to CWM and wipe data/Factory reset and it didn't work.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Re-flash the ROM.
How?
go back into clockworkmod and click "install from sd card" and select the ROM zip file.
Ok, but how can I transfer the rom to mobile? Debugging mode is disabled :/
Problem solved. I did it with NEXUS 4 TOOLKIT (option 9)
So, we can't change density on Nexus 4? Or have someone managed to do this successfully? How?
I have just edited build.prop manually and it works.
But Google Play Store doesn't show every app :-/. I have 280 density setting. I have tried to fix it with LCD Density Modder, but i can't install GSF. Does anyone know solution that really works?

play doesnt work with nonstandard dpi and so do many other apps. dont do this to your poor phone. paranoidandroid was originally written for this purpose, it started with hybrid engine. every single issue has been cleared out for you. things work, no compromises, nothing crashes, nothing to small because you choose size on per app basis, size is separate from the layout which you pick from a list of actual UI's an app offers, you treat the phone interface in the same way as any regular app, set it to this and that size and UI without trashing anything else, you control all this with a handy little panel thats giving you the changes you've made on sight. i lost half a year of my life to help getting android get over this build.prop nonsense - make use of it. it has found its way into a couple of roms, so flash something else if you hate pa, but use hybrid engine for goodness sake, there is no alternative that can compare to it. :highfive:
ran into the same problem as op, running liquidsmooth rc2 with franco. everytime i changed the lcd density to anything other than stock and rebooted i got stuck in a boot loop and had to go into twrp and wipe cache/dalvik just to boot. changed lcd to stock and no more boot loops. sucks because i really like running 280.

hi all i installed the rocketrom v7 this morning and well ive been playing and messed something up. i installed ROM Toolbox pro and i wanted to see if i could get dungeon defenders second wave controls to fit the screen correctly so i can play it, so i edited the LCD density setting from 320 to 280 and after the reboot went to make a call and the call dialer isnt full screen any more its less due to the hack.. ive not even tried the game yet but i went back into ROM Toolbox pro and fount that i cant set it back at 320 as the slider only maxes at 280
please advise me on this, is their a solution without wiping rom?
You have root I presume - just edit /system/build.prop - the "density" might be in there twice - change both.
You can edit it using a shell (su root first) or using adb:
adb remount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop
<edit>
adb push build.prop /system
<reboot>

Or just reflash the rom and wipe cache an dalvik cache afterwards and reboot.

worked a charm. set back to 320 and now all is good and new
ps is their a way to set PER app density.. ie have a single app run at different settings, i would like to keep 280 but seen as stuff like dialer/spen/email ect doesn't work well with it keeping 320 default but a few apps like games with a lower value of 240/280 that would be epic for me ?
ps yes im fully rooted mate

The only ROM that can do that is ParanoidAndroid.
You can also just use an alternative dialer, like Go dailer, that is what i do on lower density

Also, if you have custom dpi and want to use stock dialer there is a setting in accessibility to enable one handed operation. This will rescale the dialer pad to full usability again.
V 0.3 of paranoid does indeed have a couple of glitches with GPS (although I upgraded from v0.2 and don't experience it], but v0.2a is totally bug free and well worth a look. In the latest couple of pages on the thread there's a link to someones dropbox for the download. Highly recommend it!

WTF !!!
Hello,
I have used the rom tool box pro to setup the lcd to 160 instead of the default setting and now my phone doesn't finish booting, i am stuck at the error message "unfortunately Touchwiz has stopped" disapperas and then another one shows up "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" ... due that the launcher has stopped responding and i had luckily usd USB DUBEG option earlier i could thru ADB reboot to firmware mode taker a NANDROID backup ... deleted dalvik and cache partitions didnt help , and finally did a hard reset / factory default thru the boot loader
result is:
factory reset worked and had to setup the phone again, but the LCD density is still 160, after I finished the new phone setup am stuck again at the above two messages immediately after setup is done !!!!!
What can i do now especially that i cannot connect thru ADB since the phone settings is not set to USB Debug ........
Thanks

Hard reset should have corrected the setting, not sure why it didn't. If you're on stock kernel, don't try it again in case of hard brick. I would suggest flashing again with pc Odin. There have been some people who've managed to create a flash able zip with stock buildprop file and stock dpi, but you'll have to search for that, not sure if it was ever achieved, worth a go.

Hey guys,
Recently I rooted my Nexus 4, put on CWM and SuperSU.
Problem now is that I can't install apps like Words with Friends or Dead Trigger. I'm on JB 4.2 Build No. JOP40C.
I was believing that it has something to do with me changing the dpi to 260, I use an app named Density Changer from the Play Store.
weird, I have supersu installed and can play Dead Trigger without any problems
I read somewhere that your issue might be caused by a program called Density Changer. Have you tried uninstalling it?

I'll try that now. I'll also clear cache too.
You kind of answered your own question there. DPI change.
It's the DPI change that causes it?

99% sure, yes. CWM and SuperSu or the mere presence of Density Changer shouldn't have an impact.
I just undid everything, cleared dailvik and cache and still fc's.
:/
Change DPI back to stock if you haven't already. Clear data on the game so it detects settings again.

you have to clear google play store settings (after reset dpi settings, should be 320), then reboot.

Okay I fixed it. I went to build.prop and just edited lcd.density
Everything works now
Next time you change DPI
Install the Multi DPI play store
Will work for sure
Hi all
Every time I change the DPI from stock 320 to 280 my playstore app tells me that " your device is incompatible" message
I have cleared the play store data/cache and the Google play service data cache and rebooted but I still get the same error after the reboot.
I've tried this on a stock ROM and on several custom roms such as "slim bean" and jellytime with the same issues after lowering the DPI to 240
Can somebody please help as I can function on this nexus with a DPI of 320
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Are you trying to use 240 or 280. I think you need to use one of the standard DPI values for the play store to work (160, 213, 240, 320...)
Just go to stock DPI, reboot.
Then clear play store data.
Now change DPI and reboot.

Try changing density with 'LCD Density Modder' on Google Play ~ it has an PlayStore-Fix in it
It's free but you can use it only once without purchasing the Pro-Version.
After changing the DPI & installing the fix you can uninstall the App
When you change the DPI, is it going into full tablet mode? User switching enabled and all?

Didn't work for me... I own the Pro version as well.
Infact it pretty much deleted my recovery and my phone stopped booting Had to reflash the stock OS via fastboot.

Use the modded Play Store from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827
One of the mods is that the Play Store will always believe you're at 320dpi
I'm running my Defy with 200 DPI set and there's a little problem with Play Store I'm facing. Some apps just won't appear in search results (like they were incompatible). I've flashed zip with multi dpi Play Store already but that didn't solve it. On some occasions these apps will show up (rarely, no idea what it depends on) and there will be no problem with installing and running it. Some examples of missing apps: Facebook, DefyLens. Anything can be done about it?
Which Rom? If you're on cm10, then you could shift to paranoid android which doesn't have any such issues and allows very specific dpi and layout customization

Hi,
To change your LCD density but avoid apps incompatibility, set your density back to 213 (240 for moto defy).
Now, create a file in /data/local.prop and type in it :
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160 (or anything you prefer)
You can change the density to whatever you want, save and reboot
Please press thanks if I helped you

Hi guys. Need a little enlightenment here.
I have rooted my note 4 recently, and want to change the fonts. I've downloaded iFont and HiFont to change it but when I selected my desired font to change, it prompted "Not enough storage space". Googled it up, pointed to app cache issues. Cleared it, but still not able to change. Not even the default ones like rosemary can be selected.
Just to share what happened after the rooting process as well; I changed the lcd density in build.prop to 200. Gosh that was a bad move. keyguard(something something) prompted forced to stop after restarted. Couldn't press a single thing. Attempted to put in TWRP recovery via Odin on PC, but prompted failed. I had no choice but to wipe data. After I reboot and the setup and stuff, then this happen after I attempted to change font.
Don't change the LCD density too far away from default as it can cause you trouble.
Thanks for the advice. But I guessed I've learnt that the hard way at the expense of my data. I'm more concerned on the changing of fonts.
Anyone please help?

There is this amazing zip out there you can flash and get 300 fonts installed without issue. It's awesome.

I hope the below screenshot gives a better idea as to what I am talking about. As you can see from the screenshot, a custom font is selected. It prompts me this message. Installing of fonts is not a problem. It's the selection part.
seems like a question that no one has an answer to. SOMEONE CLOSE THE DAMN THREAD.
Maybe not enough space on the ROM for the fonts maybe try uninstall some system apps to free space

Has to be a ROM issue, I have never encountered that and for a note 4, not enough space sounds ridiculous
It's alright guys. I've done my backup and flashed the stock rom and wiped everything. It's working now.
