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.

Is it possible to decrease the font size in the favourite contacts section? It's way too big when compared to the contacts app.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
I suppose you can. Decompile the apk. Go to res/layout. One of the XML files will represent the favourites screen. Open it and you'll see some tags like this <TextView....>. There must be a code inside those tags to decrease the size or increase it.
if the rom supports quickpanel,
then it has the option to minimize font size,
however it resets in every reboot,
so you need to manually set it again every startup
If I use the smallest size in Lidroid Parts, the font size in Favourite Contacts is like the usual normal font size in the other apps. But outside that, it's a different story. The font in the Music Player for instance, is really very small. Take a look. View attachment 1347055

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.
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.
