DPI settings for the status bar and notification drawer - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently using a DPI of 400 globally and changing many apps to the stock 480 (with Xposed Framework and App Settings module). However, the only reason I really want 400 or lower DPI is for a smaller status bar and notification drawer.
Does anyone know which apps I need to set to a lower DPI to only effect the UI? I like apps at 480, but it's tedious to go change every app to 480 instead of using a global 480 and only modifying the UI. Thanks!

[Q] Per-App DPI for Lockscreen

Root: Yes
Rom: Beansrom v6
Does anyone know which app is responsible for drawing the android lockscreen? I set my build.prop DPI down to 320, which is awesome for most of the device, but it makes the lockscreen unlock grid really tiny. I have access to the xposed per-app dpi settings on my phone, and have successfully fixed other problematic applications, but I can't seem to find the lockscreen anywhere. Any input would be appreciated.
Lockscreen is controlled by Android System. I set it to 320 just to test it and it messes up a lot of stuff.

Really, like what? I've been running like this for a month and the only thing I've noticed was the small unlock grid (and a few samsung apps with weird layouts that I have since fixed individually)
Also, if I adjust android system, it will adjust everything (font, notif. bar, etc...) Any idea on how to adjust only the lockscreen?
I set dpi to 320 and my keyboard blew up to the point I could only see four or five of the keys. TW Launcher on the other hand shrunk to the size of a 4" phone. I could've fixed most of the issues but I didn't feel like messing with it. Also, I don't know how to adjust only the lockscreen. I think that modifying it without some dev experience would be difficult.

Swiftkey/Keyboard 380 DPI

Hey,
Recently changed the dpi of the entire phone by changing the android system dpi to 380 in the app settings module, everything looks and works perfectly with the google now launcher (not with the lg home launcher sadly ):
However I can not get swiftkey to behave normally, the keyboard is extremely magnified and useless.
Is there anyway I can make swiftkey work with a custom dpi of 380, or any other keyboard that would work ?
What's your issue? I use SwiftKey at 380 DPI without problem.

You've tried reducing the DPI of swift key in app settings I assume?

I have done it two ways:
1:
Changed the android.system to 380 dpi => swiftkey is completely messed up
2:
Changed the android.system and swiftkey to 380 dpi => swiftkey is completely messed up
3:
Left android.system unchanged and changed swiftkey to 380 dpi=> swiftket is messed up

Yeah, that's pretty messed up. I don't use swift key but just installed it, it's fine on mine. I used Textdroider to change DPI to 370 immediately after installing a fresh ROM (CloudyStock 1.2) and I then used App Settings to revert the camera and messaging apps back to 480. I use Nova launcher but everything was fine in stock launcher.
I can't help you with a fix, just merely suggest a possible alternative.

Do you know a keyboard that will handle 380 dpi ?

LG stock and Swiftkey work for me
If you can be bothered, try setting all app settings DPI back to default then use textdroider to change DPI (it will change everything!) and then use App Settings to set bugged out apps (only noticed camera and messages) back to default DPI.
Initially I had a problem with setting DPI with Textdroider in that the power/reboot menu was messed up (1/4 of it was completely transparent) so I gradually reduced it from 480 down to 370 and everything looks nice and crisp, even the notification drawer.

Ah perfect !
That did it for me !
Turned off app settings and used textdroider to change to 380 dpi (no problems with power/reboot menu), no bootloop and now everything is looking beautifully crisp as it is supposed to be.
Camera app had to be changed back to 480 dpi with app settings
Thank you !
No problem.

What about the OP's question? Any way to get Swiftkey to behave at reduced DPI?

How do I change dialer DPI

Hi fellas.
I am using textdroid_dpi to change my whole system dpi from 480 to 400.
I also used Xposed App Settings to change DPIs back to default per certain apps (eg. camera). However, I can't seem to set the DPI for the dialer. Can anyone tell me whats the process name I should set under App Settings? "Phone" does not work.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I realised the dialer is part of contacts. It's all good now.

DPI Change

Hey there! I have a question, I hope you can help me. I changed via "textdroider dpi" the DPI of my phone. So far so good. It´s just that the Icons in the app drawer are also changed in their size and now a little bit too small. Is there anyway to change the DPI for everything BUT the Icons in the app drawer?
Thanks!
@elwoodblues1985 you can try to use app settings with xposed and then set the stock dpi or what you want for the launcher.

(Q) A problem with TouchWiz scale/grid size

I am using Note 3 custom 6.0.1 rom, rooted and have xposed running. I used device control to reset DPi from 480 to 320. Like always, it resizes every app. Fortunately, I installed App Setting from Xposed module to resize unsupported apps like camera, keypad etc. The problem is, my TouchWiz is somehow partially effected because the grid kept its 480 scale (see attachment to see what i am talking about). I attempted to resize it from 320 to 480 back but the icon is not in their position/drawer so I left it 320 with this problem still. Any solutions?
P/S sorry for bad drawing
After change it back to 480, reboot.
Samsung launcher isn't multidpi. Best used at 480. You need to use modded launcher.
