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

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 ?

I'm confused. Most people are saying it is 480, but I thought the official dpi was 441. Which one is it?.
Thanks in advance.
480 is stock dpi. Running mine at 380 dpi with xposed framework to adjust stock sammy apps to run @ 480 dpi.
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.
Can any 1 pls help me have made research but no success.
The issue I have is that I change the full system dpi but the locksreen is a bit buggy and I can't find it in app settings from xposed to fix the issue.
If any 1 know how can I fix it I would really be glad ty
