[Q] Illusion ROM screen resolution - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello. I have installed a Illusion jb Rom on my S4 from Rogers, now I noticed that text size is too small, as if resolution of the screen in wrong. Tried all the settings but still no result. Everything looks incredibly small.

I'm not familiar with that rom, but go into settings, and see if you can find where to set the dpi settings. Set something larger than is current.

See in your screen shot where it says illusion settings? Click that change all the dpi to a higher number.

Thanks a lot guy. Did find the dpi settings but it already was at its highest of 480 dpi. What I also have found was a Reset to Original button, I hit that and after reboot everything got back to normal. It reset the custom preset Paranoid Android setting that came as part of this Rom.

[Q] Screen size change nightly 177->7.1 stable.

I need some help, hopefully someone else has encountered this.
I have updated from nightly 177 to 7.1 stable, and my home screen is all buggered up.
Here is the first screenshot, on nightly 177.
Everything is nicely ordered.

On 7.1 everything has shifted, i cant put things back, (forgive the photo, screenshots no longer work on 7.1)
Ive tried putting the DPI back to 161, that makes no difference. I also changed the number of columns in ADW EX, this appears to fix it at first, but again thigns dont fit together as they originally did.
Any ideas?
Scratch that, the LCD density app wasnt changing the settings.
I did get this to work, even if screenshots can no longer be taken.
I'm running 7.1 and just took a screenshot a few seconds ago.
Work perfectly fine.

LCD Resolution works much better than LCD Density.

Change DPI on entire Gnote UI

Just tried this out and i must say it's pretty awesome.
Anyway, The app is called LCD resolution, Link to market below.
Basically it changes the DPI on your device(Any android, HD screens suggested)
I have tried the settings 280 and its pretty good with zero negative affects(So far), Best always to use a thirdy party launcher i believe. I use Go launcher.
Anyway, Give it a shot everyone and post some feedback on different DPI settings.
LCD Resolution Android MarketPlace
Edit, took a screenshot of my app launcher with a 6x6 row ratio, That is with the 280DPI setting, It actually looks extremely nice.

Getting a Nexus 4 soon 1 question

So I have never had a nexus device or used one with the on screen buttons but I have one question. Is there a rom to change the size of those buttons? They just look excessively large. Half the size would be nice.

Paraoid android, Your able to customize the on-screen buttons with it. There's also AOKP if your interested
Custom ROM's usually change that yes... or learn to tweak it yourself.... and then teach me.
Do you have any screen shots of the buttons made smaller?

This wasn't demonstrated on a Nexus 4, but just to show you that it's possible (using AOKP, I also marked everything you need to know in red.):

[Q] How to change system wide dpi?

I was thinking about changing my system wide dpi. Can anyone advise how to do that? What are the commonly used settings?
Thx!

Assuming you are rooted you will want to use an app that will allow you to edit text files. There are several but I use root explorer to do so. The go to your phone folders and look for the build.prop text file. Look in there for something like lcd density. Should have value around 480 I believe. I use 320 for reference. Keep in mind that this may mess up how some programs look. For example the gallery will run off the screen to the right unless you go and change the settings using xposed. Change gallery to 360 and it will look just fine.
Hope this helps.
Here is what 320 looks like.

How to trick playstore to supported resolution?

I updated to X-Note 10 and kept the DPI that came with the rom, but now, some of my apps have not synced back because of the modded DPI. (i think). One of them is the Call of Duty Ghost app that was supported before i installed X10 and now says that it's not. Another one is Office Mobile 365...Is there any ways to trick the playstore, or a way of officially downloading the apps with my current DPI?

I use romtoolbox lite , to change the dpi to 480 , and change it again after that.
