Does anyone if changing the dpi would make my phone run a hotter....I really like using 320 dpi on G2.....is there any other possible fix besides changing it back to normal dpi setting ....

The default DPI of the Note 3 is an abomination. I feel like I'm looking at my parents' computer with the resolution set to 800x600, with the font and icon sizes set to max.
I routinely set my DPI to 320 (down from 480, which doesn't make sense to me) using ROM Toolbox Pro... I then use the xposed module App Settings to tweak individual apps up or down as needed. Some apps don't look or perform correctly at the tighter 320 DPI... some look or perform better at an even tighter DPI. SOME even have more features reserved only for the tablet UI.
So... who's also doing this? What DPI do you set the system to, and what apps/settings do you tweak?
I wanted to start this poll because I recently installed a custom ROM after several months of being on a custom DPI, and remembered how bad the default DPI is. I got curious if the devs could be persuaded to tweak the DPI in their ROMs, and a poll was born.
Thank you for participating.
Hi all,
My new phone did not survive a single day without (towel-)root. So after getting root, I was thinking about changing DPI.
default in /system/build.prop is 480. I changed it to 360 and 420, both seems fine for the GS5. As a scale referenced I used values from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/info-official-galaxy-nexus-lcd-density-t1392089 - my Galaxy Nexus is running at 246 just fine.
But sadly, the stock lock screen is now shifted left. Any idea how I can replace the stock lock screen with another fingerprint-ready lock screen? A lock screen with 4x4 pattern would also do.
Thanks in advance.
PS: If I have time, I will make a thread similar to the linked above.
Is the camera workin properly on 360 and 420? thanks and the phone keypad?
I may be wrong but as far as i know you have to edit SystemUI for the lockscreen to look correct, or you can use app settings from xposed to change SystemUI back to 480 but that changes more than the lockscreen. As for camera and keypad, those need to be changed back to 480 in app settings, i wouldnt say its required but its not going to work very well on anything but stock dpi, i personally run 320.

Is here a someone who can change DPI from stock to 460 or 480 for a stock camera and for TW? I really like lower DPI on this device and if I did it mentioned apps aren´t usable
Or small advice how can I make it will be also good. (which apk tools I need, which line I must edit inside apk, ......., ) I will try to do it myself.
Thanks
Has anyone with a rooted device tried modifying the LCD density setting in build.prop? What values looked best? Thinking about rooting my phone just for this purpose.
i changed mine with textdroider_dpi app. Mine is currently set on 480
I set mine to 520 a few times but there are some issues with it. Every now and then my phone would go to a full black screen after boot up and before the lock screen and stay there. Lucky I have a full backup before and after I installed xposed. Having the backup I only had to restore system to get my phone back up and running with nothing lost. Very strange but I've now stayed with the default 560.
I've tried 440 and 480. I'm sticking with 480 for now. The only thing I've noticed so far is that the controls at the bottom of Play Music are a little weird at 480. They were worse at 440, iirc. However, it may just be activating a different layout for what it thinks is a different size screen.
Just had a keyboard & touchwiz update and now my dpi is messed up, it was set at 480 in developer settings but it moves everything to the left?? The only was to get back to normal is to return dpi to 411, but everything seems so big
Any body else having this
Huh, stock dpi was 360 on mine (changed it to 390)
