You can change it in a build.prop editor. I'm using 280DPI with no Play Store compatibility issues on my nodded and tweaked Slim Bean Beta2 build. I think if you keep the DPI in a certain "stock" range you won't have any issues.

Having been a flash'o'holic with my note 1 I really want to keep stock tw on the new note 3 for all the spen stuff. But I can't stand 340 dpi, is there going to be a way to switch this to at least 240 when we all finally get our notes? Or will it take awhile and involve custom sam apps to get this working? Failing that I fear I'll be rooting and flashing within the first month just hate everything blown up looking, this is the reason we buy big screen phones? For the extra screen space not a magnified look..
Chances are that many of the s-pen feature apps/functions will not work well with lower DPI... I'm just guessing from my experiences with both the GN1 AND GN2

This will be my first time purchasing a GN phone...so when you root it you will not be able to use the s pen features? It cannot be implemented into the ROM?

it can be in tw roms but not aosp roms. and he is saying that adjusting the dpi may mess with the s pen features since they are set up for stock standard sized tw

I understand what he was inquiring about...I just had a side question. Makes sense on both accounts...whether you mess with dpi on stock or not...could affect it.
thanks for answering

I forgot what xposed framework app it was, but after changing dpi to 240 or 270, you could set other stock apps (like clock, phone, s-planner, etc) back to the stock dpi for no impact.
Its called app settings i believe

Agreed, 240 dpi rules
I used 240 dpi on my note 2 as well and that was very nice and worked perfectly with the spen.
But 240 will be to small on a 1080p screen (I run my s4 at 360 which is pretty much the same look) I guess everything will work just perfectly like it did in the note 2 @ 240 dpi. Looks the same

Stock dpi for the N3 will be 480. You can bring it down to 320 and it will be the same effect of going from 320 to 240 on the N2
And changing the screen DPI shouldn't affect the S-Pen features. From what I've read, The overflow feature it has is based on a sensor on the phone and pressing the button on the S-Pen. Every other input the S-Pen has will work fine as well.

Just use Xposed App setting after installing Xposed Framework .
Im running certain apps on 360 dpi without any problems with S-Pen features. Although I do feel that 360 is a tad too small on certain apps but again you can customize it for each app.

Did you switch to 360? And how did you do it? No problems at all?

I too have just come from a note 1 and done something that was probably silly.
I rooted my note 3 and changed the build.prop to 260dpi with rom toolbox but when it booted the system ui fc's and I can't get anywhere.
After failing to open any apps, I went to recovery and wiped data, rebooted and dpi change has remained.
Is there anyway I can revert or at least get it working without flashing another rom? If it's the rom, can the stock one be picked up from anywhere?

Also, the reactivation lock is set back to on. Not sure how as I turned it off to root. Now I can't seem to flash a custom recovery due to that I think. Any ideas?

Dude, YOU'RE DOOMED! Lol.
Do you know if you activated debugging mode and have your PC authorised at all? If so, You could pull the build.prop, edit it put it back and keep your fingers crossed.

Could you adb pull the build.prop, edit it, then push it back?
Okay guys summerizing, change the build.prop dont work. Only Xposed work until today?!
360 dpi for note 3 is awesome
happy with 320 on my note3 using app settings/xposed..no problems with spen.

Hello XDA,
I am currently using SlimROM and I love the ROM because it allows me to use the IR Blaster along with a DPI of 380 but I obviously loose the TouchWiz (TW) features like the camera app, air gestures etc.
I was using a TW ROM but when I changed the DPI (Using ROMToolBox) the DIaler, Camera were just not in proportion to the new 380 DPI i used.
My question is does anybody know how I can fix this? Is there a "380 DPI dialer/camera apk" that someone has posted?
I've noticed in the i9505 section there are flashable zips for the dialler, camera, lockscreen and gallery but none of these work on our devices.
If some could assist that would be greatly appreciated!
Keep your DPI at normal, install Xposed framework and use the per app DPI changer. You can use that to change the DPI of specific things.

I have the new version of google maps from the mini-PA gapps. When I lower the DPI with ROM Toolbox, the directions list and some other options become blacked out. The text is grayish so still readable in zero sunlight.
Any idea what gives, or any idea how I can have a lower DPI without it going black on me?

Some apps just don't play nicely with different dpis. If you're not using ART, you could use xposed and app settings to set maps back to 320dpi. Not a solution if you specifically want maps with a lower dpi.
I have to do this with some apps, even though I've only modified the dpi of my launcher.
Update: I was actually thinking maybe it's because it's not at the right multiple of the resolution or there may be a threshold then the text boxes turn black, so I tried another DPI and 280 seems to working fine.
I've tried to use xposed before using ROM toolkit to set a global DPI change, but KitKat doesn't play well with it and I couldn't get a boot.

Anywhere from 370ish to 420 is a good res on the N3, try them all and see. It depends on your eyes really and whats comfortable. I used to run 400.
In Nova settings just change your Grids to whatever you want 6*6 etc etc.
