Hey! I've changed the overall DPI by editing build.prop, and then tweaked the Samsung apps using Per-App-DPI, but the only issue now is that S-View is still at the smaller DPI. Does anyone know how I could restore S-View to 480? I'm not sure if S-View has it's own application (it must do right?)
Many thanks
Lee
It doesn't, it's part of android.policy.jar, which should be the package "android"

Many thanks for your reply! Is it not possible to alter adjust this somehow? Changing Android System in the xposed module just negated the build.prop edits.

So I got my ATT s4 last night. It's now rooted with superuser and froze all my bloat with tibu. Question is can I use xposed installer and xposed settings to set my dpi on a per app level?? Loving the phone. Coming from my beastly S3.
I did it and it softbricked my phone . Had to to a master clear from stock recovery. You are welcome to try

DON'T install it, unless you'd like to go through the (thankfully now available) softbrick recovery method(s).
I typically use ROM Toolbox to change my LCD Density . Is it a bad idea for now since I might f-ed it up and the only way of recovering it is via soft bricked recovery method?

Not 100% sure as I haven't tried it myself, but IIRC several users reported bootlooping after trying to change the density via build.prop edits (which I'm pretty sure is basically what ROM Toolbox does).
If you really want to change it, I recommend using the App Settings module for Xposed...rovo89 released an updated version (2.1.4) of the Xposed framework that is compatible with our S4's.
yeah, so far all dpi changes I've read about on the forums have lead to softbricks, so I'd avoid for now
I'm running 380 dpi right now via Rom Toolbox Pro. Also using xposed framework as rovo has put up a build that works for all s4's and htc one's. Using 480 dpi for camera and contacts. Those are the only 2 apps that do not look correctly @ 380 dpi. I have someone working on the dialer for us to work correctly @ 380 dpi. Here's the link for xposed. Make sure to download and install 2.1.4 version of the xposed installer.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I'll probably going to wait for a bit before I mess around with the DPI. I had a softbrick not too long ago on the Skyrocket and that was an easy fix with a Nandroid.

Okay I can't take it anymore. I need a smaller DPI. It's driving me nuts. Do I just download the XposedInstaller_2.1.4.apk and install it and then change the DPI settings via Rom Toolbox ? How do you make the app to stay 480 DPI for those that are not compatible like dialer and such ? Can I replace the apk from the ones on this thread ?

Hi everyone,
I have set my phone to 320 DPI, only problem apps are SecContact with its dialer pad and the gallery not showing correctly.
I have followed Bala_gamer with his updates but so far no more updates.
Have been using AppSettings to keep the apps from showing incorrectly but it doesn't look good. This isn't a big deal but if I can I would fix it.
I know how to decompile and recompile, all I need to know is which lines to edit and which XML file so I could do it myself.
Or if the files are available as flashable zip somewhere Id get that instead.
If anyone has some info regarding this id appreciate it very much.
Thank you
Hi,
I'm trying to change lcd density in my new Galaxy S5 (900M ZTO) but without success.
I tried Build.Prop app, LCD Density app, Monitor Resolution app all without success.
My S5 is rooted with SuperSU but the Apps cannot save build.prop correctly.
Anyone have any tip?
Thanks

Hello all, I have searched but to no avail, so if I have missed it I'm sorry. I have changed the DPI of my note 4 to 480, looks great. Have changed the DPI of the camera back to stock DPI as it was a bit screwie. My question relates to the lock screen. Anyone know what I select in app settings in xposed framework to revert the lock screen back to normal DPI. I am using a stock KitKat ROM.
Cheers in advance for any replies.
2 questions.
I changed DPI on my Note 3 from 480 to 380. now some apps and touchwiz are glitched.
How to change DPI on touchwiz and other apps? I instaled Xposed and module called App Settings. Tried to change dpi to Tocuhwiz and System UI but still no diference. If i go to Xposed i got this in framework section:
Xposed is not (yet) compatibile with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE:could not load library ''libdvm.so'' needed by ''/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process''; caused by library ''libdvm.so'' not found...
If i would be able to change DPI to Touchwiz. Could i put then 5 apps in one row or the row will be just streeched?
I tried launchers but i dont like them so much cuz they eating battery.
Thanks for help
I use Xposed with App Settings, mainly for a few apps that just dont fit my needs in screen compensation.
You need a DEODEXED ROM to use Xposed initially, and Stock ROMs (assuming you are using one) are ODEXED by default. And yea, try 420 DPI just in case...?
So Xposed wont work with stock rooted rom? Hmm then i would need to use launcher... any battery saving tips if i use another launcher?
Xposed will work with stock rooted ROM, but Deodexed. Use Nova Prime. What battery saving tips? Using a custom launcher doesn't drain any extra battery!
Just to clear things up, using a different launcher does not mean DEODEXED.
There are Pre-rooted, Deodexed Stock Roms around, just what you need.
