Hi guys,
I didn't find ro.sf.lcd_density=240 in build.prop with ROM toolbox :crying:
Is there an other way to fix it lower ?
edit: 240 was just an exemple Yes I looked build.prop with toolbox but like u said there's nothing about density,

If your rooted you can use Root Explorer to edit the build.prop. Have you tried that?
*edit* hmm, I just looked inside there and don't see that line anywhere. It would most likely read 320 or higher also. 240 was used for 4.3" screens

I did not find LCD Density line in build.prop. When I tried using the LCD Density app to change to 320 it would not boot properly (stuck at Oppo logo). Having a more appropriate number would make this thing awesome. Hoping someone figures this out.

Has anyone been able to change the DPI yet?
Thanks to like this threat !
If many people like it, maybe Oppo will allow to change it!

Be careful with using the apps to change the LCD Density. That put my oppo into a boot loop. I did not see a line with LCD Density in the build.prop. I wonder if we can just add one.

As long as you don't use any app to "set on boot" you should be able to play around and find a density that is stable and works. Its been suggested that OPPO add a way to change this.. we'll if they do

I read this from other apps, not from this one. I used this app on my HTC HD2 with JB before it crashed. Now I wait for my Find 5 and also would like to change the dpi. I see anyone in the Oppo forum that used a launcher with dpi changer. Look there into the Homescreen thread.

Hi everyone,
at the very end of build.prop, add ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx, I tried from 300-440 and they worked out fine. I did reboot to cwm and than simply did reboot system. To make sure the changes made are read by the phone. Sometimes earlier doing this on h7 g3, the changes were not read by only rebooting.
You have to be root and you need explorer and texteditor.

Do you mean I have to add the ro.sf.lcd_density lin to build.prop, because I can't seem to find a builder.prop file. I suppose that was a typo.

Thank you correcting this. Of cause it is build.prop in the system folder.
I corrected this now in my previous post.
cptmerget.
I don't know if this method has been already posted or not..
I was very eager to change my s2's DPI..and I could not able to find any proper and simple method..
Then I was going through build.prop and eventually I changed the DPI by editing build. prop
Here is a simple guide..
1. Open root explorer..
2. Make sure you are in r/w ..(see at the top right corner)
3.open system.
4.you can see "build.prop" ..
5.long press build.pro and select "open with".
6.choose "text editor".
7.look for the words "ro . sf . lcd _ density 240".
(In some ROM it will be at two places ..e.g neat ROM )
Edit it and type your required DPI..
8.now press the back button and select "yes".. ( this means your settings which you have made has been saved)
9.back up of build. pro will be created automatically as
"Build.prop.pak"
10.reboot.
P.S methods looks complex but it's simple to follow.
I have given step by step guide..

Thanks for your note here.
But Touchwiz is not resized properly over the screen. e.g. Dial screen only spans to around 80-85% of the screen (If I reduce the density value from 240 to 220 on Galaxy S2 Android 4.1.2) and not to full 100% like other applications. Chrome, Whatsapp, Skype etc. does works with this ..
Any idea or any solution to this ??

You should also mention not to set DPI below 182. If i remember right you wont be able to make a call with lower DPI. Didnt test myself (it was the case in earlier versions) as 182 is the perfect value for my device.

App settings module my friend
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
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 ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269483
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

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.
I´m root in my Oneplus Two, and downloaded texdroider_dpi and Root DPI Changer.
Neither works!!
I tried too change build.prop, but ro.sf.lcd_density or another density value don´t appears.
Any solution for change DPI in OP2?
Thanks!
Hey,
i use a flashable zip. Download it from here: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/RvfbVEkr/file.html
to edit the DPI, open the .zip and go to folder tmp and edit the "misc" file with a text editor.
after this you can flash it trough recovery

I´m newbie and I can´t post pictures yet, sorry.
But I seen a few mistakes in some apps, but I don´t know if problem of Oxygen OS or DPI.
Some apps like Solid Explorer or PocketCast get default Dark Theme.
That is, even if they are placed in Light theme in settings app , stay in dark theme and I can´t change this no way. This is case of Pocket Cast.
In Solid Explorer case, it stay in light theme, but text are in white and can´t read nothing. I must put the app in dark theme to use it .
It is all very strange .

I see no prob with 380 all apps work as before and no fcs till now
I don't have any intentions to advertise, but recently I published a DPI Changer app to Play Store which by default sets DPI using local.prop method(works fine on COS12 and OxygenOS on OnePlus One) and also has an option to set it via build.prop method. I positively believe it would work for OnePlus Two too, if not I would love some feedback.

The way I did it was going in and adding the ro.sf.lcd_density=380 to the build.prop myself as for some reason it wasn't there. Then I connected the OPT to the computer and used the ADB Command Prompt (adb shell wm density 380) to change the DPI as well.
I had to do this because if I used an app to change the DPI the keyboards would screw up and be incredibly large and unusable.
Can someone please post some screenshots? Thank you in advance

Le DPI working fine in Oneplus 2 (oxygen 2.0.1) using BUILD. PROP.
thanks
my experience with the app " The DPI "
First I tried with the second function of the app (BUILD. PROP) and restarting the phone had a bootloop.
Fortunately I had a Nbackup
According to the first attempt I tried the first method off the app , rebooted and nothing changed then I tried again the BUILD. PROP and it worked!
perhaps the first method have created something away for work the second method
