Change LCD density on any jelly bean rom(tested and working)

Hey guys...
Earlier I was having real trouble in changing density on jelly bean rom and neither changing in build prop or nor any third party apps worked.
After lots of search and using all apps I found an app that can finally change dpi even on jelly bean rom.I thaught others still dont know its solution so I m sharing it.you can't apply any hdpi or other themes if u are not able to change LCD density
Link to app-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_term=play+store-resolution+change/density
Interesting tip:-
Guys u can apply any theme if u change dpi of your phone below 160 either theme is for hdpi or xhdpi devices and if u don't want to change dpi that much,u just change it to 159.Even than all themes will work and it will not make any difference on your stock look

Love to change density but, the main problem faced is the market compatibility issue...else 140 was too beautiful...:good:

Guys pls share if it did work 4 u also as it did work 4 me

oh? so this app is a big deal..hahahha.. been using this since the beginning of jelly bean in our O1,. working good!

[GUIDE]How to setup 240 dpi on your rom

Hey everyone.
This is my first post in s3 section. I made a guide on how to setup 240 dpi on note 2 and I thought it would be a great idea since the requisites are available for both the phones.
UtkarshGupta said:
Hey everyone
This is my first guide so please be polite
In this guide I will show you how to setup 240dpi or possibly any dpi on your rom.
Links to all the requisites will be given below.
But what is dpi ?
It is the value that manages most ui of the system. a lower dpi means everything would be smaller hence more things could be fitted in the giant screen we have. a higher means everything would be larger hence less could be fitted into the screen
Before We Begin I Want To Clarify The Following-
1)First and foremost I am not responsible for any damage you cause.
2)I assume you have already rooted your phone and have some experience with rooting.
3)You have made backup to be sure that in case you mess up you you can return to what it was like before.
4)Read the whole post before actually starting.
5)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
So let's Begin-
1)Download and setup xposed framework (Very good instructions on how to do it in the thread) (You need to reboot).
2)Download these modules - xposed app settings , gappscrashfix , all apps in play store.
3)Enable all the 3 modules (You need to Reboot).
4)Now open xposed app settings and set open each app listed below and in dpi enter 320 but don't change anything else.
-calculator
-camera
-clock
-contacts
-dialer storage
-fm radio
-messaging
-task manager
-touchwiz home
-weather widget main
Now some of these could be skipped or some could be added(can be tested but imao that will make the ui ugly but still it's completely your choice).
Also modded versions of some of these apps has been provided by bala_gamer.
5)Before we begin copy the modded samsung keyboard from the link given or setup some other keyboard and make it default.
6)Now open /system/build.prop or use a build.prop editor if you are very conscious and change the following line "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
7)Now before we reboot we need to include apply one fix , so instead of rebooting , power off your phone
8)Then go into recovery and flash the modded samsung keyboard.
9)Reboot and enjoy 240dpi.
Note -
1)The stock keyboard will constantly force close on 240 dpi (if you use xposed settings to set it to 320dpi, you will be practically unable to use it), so bala_gamer(thank him) has customized it to work properly on 240 dpi.
2)Recovery must be custom (ofcourse ).
3)Be sure to flash the correct version of modded apps (i.e. 4.1.1 if you have it or 4.1.2 if you have that)
4)I don't know if gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore are actually required but nothing bad in using it.
5)I know the explanation of dpi is incorrect but that's all you need to know.
6)Installing xposed framework doesn't affect simplistic framework at all.
7)The gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore you download would be in .zip format. Just rename them to .apk and you can install it then.
8)Many apps especially the system ones or samsung ones aren't ment to scale well. They are just meant to look good at 320dpi so they will look way ugly at 240dpi. To fix this xposed settings is used. You need to set it for each app that you think is ugly.
9)Please Hit Thanks If I Helped You
Finally the links-
1)xposed framework - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (Link to modules page in his thread).
2)modded apps - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001577
And not to forget credits
-rovo89 for framework
-bala_gamer for modded apps
-numerous other people who helped me in some way or the other (please pm me if I forgot anyone).

That just modifies the DPI in build.prop. It does not make apps scale selectively. If I'm not mistaken, the Xposed FW is like what Paranoid Android has with its Hybrid engine, where you can selectively scale apps.

how to change the DPI ?

Hi guys,
I didn't find ro.sf.lcd_density=240 in build.prop with ROM toolbox :crying:
Is there an other way to fix it lower ?
edit: 240 was just an exemple Yes I looked build.prop with toolbox but like u said there's nothing about density,

If your rooted you can use Root Explorer to edit the build.prop. Have you tried that?
*edit* hmm, I just looked inside there and don't see that line anywhere. It would most likely read 320 or higher also. 240 was used for 4.3" screens

I did not find LCD Density line in build.prop. When I tried using the LCD Density app to change to 320 it would not boot properly (stuck at Oppo logo). Having a more appropriate number would make this thing awesome. Hoping someone figures this out.

Thanks to like this threat !
If many people like it, maybe Oppo will allow to change it!

Be careful with using the apps to change the LCD Density. That put my oppo into a boot loop. I did not see a line with LCD Density in the build.prop. I wonder if we can just add one.

As long as you don't use any app to "set on boot" you should be able to play around and find a density that is stable and works. Its been suggested that OPPO add a way to change this.. we'll if they do

I read this from other apps, not from this one. I used this app on my HTC HD2 with JB before it crashed. Now I wait for my Find 5 and also would like to change the dpi. I see anyone in the Oppo forum that used a launcher with dpi changer. Look there into the Homescreen thread.

Hi everyone,
at the very end of build.prop, add ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx, I tried from 300-440 and they worked out fine. I did reboot to cwm and than simply did reboot system. To make sure the changes made are read by the phone. Sometimes earlier doing this on h7 g3, the changes were not read by only rebooting.
You have to be root and you need explorer and texteditor.

Do you mean I have to add the ro.sf.lcd_density lin to build.prop, because I can't seem to find a builder.prop file. I suppose that was a typo.

MODS for 4.4.2 on GT N8000/8010/8013

Now that we have 4.4.2 ROM (test build though) how about focus on getting goodies from Note10.1 (2014 Edition) like air command etc. As we know the features for the Note10.1 (2012 edition) would be limited even in the final build of this ROM it is upon the mighty developers here at XDA to make our very capable device perform its optimal.

The snote mod from 2014 note10.1 developed by eric-mod. This is not my work but I am simply putting all mods for convinience.

Another mod to add floating multi windows against just 2 windows. Contributed by 'Xperiacle'

Only for rooted ones running this rom.
Download an build.prop editor from the play store or sth like that and change the following lines to :
"ro.product.name=viennaltexx" and "ro.product.device=viennalte"
"ro.product.model=SM-P905"
This will activate some hidden function. You'll get the Note PRO recent apps and notification toggle icons!

you need to open build.prop editor and go to edit, change values and then save. check with root checker and it will show your device as SM-P905.

In the case N-8000 this mod produces totally inestable situation. Phone will not work 100% of the times. If you reset, the pda will not start (infinite loop). Finally I had to wipe and reinstall everything from scratch

Hey,
i use a flashable zip. Download it from here: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/RvfbVEkr/file.html
to edit the DPI, open the .zip and go to folder tmp and edit the "misc" file with a text editor.
after this you can flash it trough recovery

But I seen a few mistakes in some apps, but I don´t know if problem of Oxygen OS or DPI.
Some apps like Solid Explorer or PocketCast get default Dark Theme.
That is, even if they are placed in Light theme in settings app , stay in dark theme and I can´t change this no way. This is case of Pocket Cast.
In Solid Explorer case, it stay in light theme, but text are in white and can´t read nothing. I must put the app in dark theme to use it .
It is all very strange .

I see no prob with 380 all apps work as before and no fcs till now

I don't have any intentions to advertise, but recently I published a DPI Changer app to Play Store which by default sets DPI using local.prop method(works fine on COS12 and OxygenOS on OnePlus One) and also has an option to set it via build.prop method. I positively believe it would work for OnePlus Two too, if not I would love some feedback.

The way I did it was going in and adding the ro.sf.lcd_density=380 to the build.prop myself as for some reason it wasn't there. Then I connected the OPT to the computer and used the ADB Command Prompt (adb shell wm density 380) to change the DPI as well.
I had to do this because if I used an app to change the DPI the keyboards would screw up and be incredibly large and unusable.

Can someone please post some screenshots? Thank you in advance

Le DPI working fine in Oneplus 2 (oxygen 2.0.1) using BUILD. PROP.
thanks

my experience with the app " The DPI "
First I tried with the second function of the app (BUILD. PROP) and restarting the phone had a bootloop.
Fortunately I had a Nbackup
According to the first attempt I tried the first method off the app , rebooted and nothing changed then I tried again the BUILD. PROP and it worked!
perhaps the first method have created something away for work the second method
