I have took my dpi down to 380dpi and i have used app setting with xposed to correct some of my apps that were out of spec.
When my phone is its case the quick view window is out of sync with the case. What is the app setting for the window view? I cant seem to find it?

Anyone know if there is any way to hide that annoying sidebar in Gmail? It would be great to view my emails in full screen view. Any ideas?
I believe the only way to do that is to find a way to change the dpi for the mail program to phone size.
I am not around my device to check and see if it is available to change right in Gmail settings.
Thanks for the response. I looked and didn't see any dpi settings in GMail.
Any other ideas?
Maybe this can't be done??
Paranoid android has that option. Flash it. Then you can change the DPI off specific apps

Thanks for the info.
I've unlocked and rooted my Gnex, but I am keeping the N7 stock - in every way. So maybe I just have to live with it.
the sidebar goes away when you open an email in portrait mode, right?

Yes.
I've seen a number of threads on the net about this. It seems like a questionable UI design decision by Google. When you open up the app, nearly half the screen is dedicated to listing all of your labels - imagine if that happend on your PC when you open your Gmail? Would be great (although maybe not possible now) to open to a full-page listing of your email, with the option of opening a view of your labels if needed.
I just didn't know if I was overlooking some setting, but apparently I am not.
Thanks for your reply.
I'm currently running carbon for mako and I'm using an exposed framework module to handle per App dpi.
I was wondering if there is any way an app can changed its dpi based on if it's in landscape or in portrait.

first, if you want anything dpi, use PA. xposed/pad is not 1/10 of what hybrid is and does.
PA can do what you want but it must be unlocked,
i would advise against this, you don't change an apps DPI while its running and get away with it.
most app will simply implode.

Thanks for the answer.
So changing dpi while app is running = bad idea.
I was using PA for quite some time and then I decided to switch over to carbon to try it out again.
Going to switch back to PA soon.
well its against googles compatibility guidelines. apps calculate bounds once and then rely on it. if you change an apps size or worse, change its resource-folder - they will go nuts. thats why i didn't go on with this, its not worth it.
There's App Override (from a XDA-Dev ?) which also can handle per App dpi.
Afaik App Override can be used to set an App to launch either in landscape mode or in portrait mode.
So if you are willing to launch it always in landscape mode you could set the dpi to a value of your desire.
I don't use it but maybe it is possible to set different settings for a single app. As in:
IF portrait mode THEN set dpi TO
ELSE set dpi TO
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.
Long time lurker here, love XDA and just actually got up and running with my new Note 4. The same thought went through my head with the stock Note 3... "Why the hell do they make a phone so large and just blow the icons up, it does me no good, I'm not a blind man..." So, naturally, one of my first steps after getting root was changing the DPI.
Like with the Note 3, I quickly realized that the Samsung Applications don't play nice with the custom DPI.
I realize this may be a completely stupid question, but my Google-fu has failed me so far. I've tried using Xposed to change the DPI (just on the Camera so far) back to defaults, but nothing seems to change the camera. Is there an alternate method to tell these applications to use the default DPI, are there modded version of these apps released yet, or is there a guide I could use to assist with modding these apps to make them friendly to DPI changes?
did you enable (tick) the (app settings) at module page of xposed? I am using note 4 too, and set default dpi = 480, and notice camera app is not support custom dpi, so i use app setting to assign it back, wish this can help.
Oh samsung, you still haven't made the camera app multi dpi, that's poor

did you reboot for take xposed take effect? and for the lock screen did you use app ? or default one?
if default one, use build prop set , lock screen will be apply too.
Disregard

App settings in xposed then change keyguard to 640 dpi click apply res to widgets.
Works, thanks
Hey thanks for this info, but I don't seem to be able to change dpi of dialer/phone with app settings (camera and lockscreen worked). Am I changing the wrong app? (changed com.sec.phone and com.android.phone back to default 640)
Anyone know how to change recent apps dpi back to normal?

Nevermind, I forgot it was to change contacts apk. Also, with the new DPI, minimizing apps by drawing in from the corner no longer works. It will show as if it is shrinking the app to pop-up window then it will vanish. However, the window is still active as I tried multiple apps and then it prevented me because it said there is already 5 popups active (which is the maximum). Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not a developer, but I like all the work developers done for Android phones. I also had the same problem. Camera problem has been solved using "App Setting" application thru Xposed framework. However, Dialer and Keyboard didn't work.
Then I finally download Google Keyboard , which is the best one to use instead of Samsung Stock Keyboard. So, I am looking for another alternative for Dialer. lets see, I will post here if find anything. Thanks!
Hi guys...
I wanted to ask is it possible to change the screen density from 460 to 360 without looking weird? Because 460 is too big.
Thank you in advance
I'm not sure, but isn't it possible via build.prop? Though it might require editing certain applications to fix layout issues.
Isn't the default 480? Anyway, of course you can change it, but as always, you'll have to modify some of the stock apps to fit right
You can use any DPI changer app (like textdroider) or edit build.prop to modify your DPI. That will make your touchwiz interface look really wonky, the icons will be smaller, but only about half of the screen will be utilized. What you then can do is to install an alternative launcher like Nova to use instead of the Touchwiz launcher. Unfortunately that means you won't be able to use some Touchwiz features such as the S planner widget.
Another thing you could do is to download a modified touchwiz lollipop launcher here from XDA (under themes\apps). That won't change the DPI, but it will allow for more icons on each screen. These launchers might cause some issues when trying to resize widgets to fit properly on the screen.
Just download Apex or Nova. They allow you to change the size of everything in your launcher, from icons to text.
Yes you'll loose the S Planner widget functionality. There are plenty of replacement apps.
Changing the density will cause more problems than it solves. Try the easy route first.
