I'd like to know too, the stock DPI it's a joke I don't know what Samsung was thinking, even the S6 has a lower DPI
On nova launcer instead of touchwiz i can go as low as i want

you can go as low as you want...you just get distorted apps, like the camera, stock TouchWiz, lockscreen and dialer.
but most people i know use 420 or 480 dpi, if they have multi dpi apps of course

One of the biggest advantages of our SGS2's is the big screen. However a DPI of 240 seems to be the only option which makes the phone look like a toy. If the DPI is changed programs like Phone, Camera and Calculator are not displayed properly. There is a solution for this. Read this thread to fix Phone and Calculator:

Just push the apk's to system/apk
To fix the Camera push the Camera.apk to system/apk
TOP!
I'm very thankfull.

Why a DPI of 240 makes the phone look like a toy? Why should it be changed and to which value?

DPI is just like the screen resolution you change in windows, the more the screen resolution the sharper the screen looks.
Similarly anything below 200 and less DPI in mobile makes things look smaller as if you have switched to a higher resolution.
Can you please attach a screen shots comparing default and the improved dpi?

You can see the visible difference between 240 dpi and 200 dpi
The note was made for 240 dpi, and yet Samsung insist on making it 320dpi and giving us massive icons. I mines 240dpi via build change but it comes at a compromise.
Has anyone managed to get everything working fine at 240dpi or know of a ROM that supports it?

Right now no ROM officially supports it sahilaurora tried asking mike1986 if he will adding 240 dpi but it seems his rom is totally stock.
Omega doesnt offer it too...
You can try cm10 if port if you want
Right now all touchwiz roms will have compromises

I hope for a ParanoidAndroid version by imilka as on the Note1 soon. See link Note1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698.
Hmm...maybe I´m wrong, but it shouldn´t be any problem to change your DPI to 240 DPI using ROM Toolbox (or a similar app). TouchWiz wouldn´t stand this procedure, but you can use Apex or Nova instead without a problem.
And it wouldn´t be the first time that someone asks for providing a 240 DPI compatible version of S-Note It has always worked in the past, so why shouldn´t it work with the Note II?!
I´m not rooted yet (just having a test device), so I can´t try it out...but maybe someone here on the board sacrifieces some minutes to check it out^^

We really hope...
I used that ROM alot back when i used Note 1 awesome. but it was already stable enough
In any case, any paranoid android/CM we will be getting on Note 2 will be unofficial as CM team has dropped support for exynos devices
240 works, however you get FC on the keyboard (which is perfect for the Note II) And the camera is all small, so is the dialer.
S-Notes is fine. So if you repalce the dialer,camera app and the keyboard you are fine to use 240 to 200 DPI. But is it worth it loosing the stock keyboard and camera? No..
Losing the stock keyboard is fine IMO, as there are loads of really good alternatives... apart from the fact handwriting with the SPen relies on it. For me that's no big deal, it's a gimmick anyway, but it could be a killer for others.
Hi all,
I've been trying really hard to adapt the stock GNote2 software for 240dpi but to no avail.
Basically the issue is the keyboard which crashes at 240dpi. It works anywhere from 320 down to 270 dpi (280-270 dpi is already nicer than 320 dpi, but it's definitely 240 dpi that we want ) but with a lower DPI it crashes.
What I am saying is that I think all the "button too small" issues can be fixed. For instance I have more or less successfully resized the Samsung keyboard for 280 DPI. All the other apps should be no problem: camera, e-mail...
But with the Samsung Keyboard crashing whatever I do I am stuck. Even when I resized the buttons for 240 DPI. I don't know what to do with that.
Something nice would be to "fake" the system DPI so that the Samsung keyboard still thinks it is at 320 DPI, but there seems no way to do that easilly (i.e. no source code hacking). Paranoid/Android does something like that with their "Per App Dpi" but I am not sure that we would reuse their code on Stock Samsung apps... They suggest that it is tied to CM.
Mmmm... Maybe the note 10.1 apps work with 240dpi... Worth a try
Can someone get this apps and installd it on the note?

Continuing on my previous post...
It sees the Samsung keyboard crashes because below 270dpi Android switches to "tablet mode". Application would not be made for it crash.
I don't know if there is any way around that? I guess Android uses the screen resolution to compute the --supposed-- size of the screen and then choose between tablet (big screen) and phone (small screen) modes.

Not sure what would be the result, do you have the Note 10.1 apps at hand?
Anyway, I have found the following thread which suggests that we could hardcode the DPI for specific applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903519
If we could just force the Samsung keyboard to behave as if we were at 320 DPI, always and whatever the system settings, that would be perfect in my opinion...
I dont have it, but the keyboard can be stracted from the jb ota leaked or try the ics keyboard from any of the note 10.1 roms

I'm fine with those compromises, so what's the easiest way for me to switch to 240? Never messed with dpi changes...
I'm sure I saw a comment on a thread here (screenshot thread, perhaps) from somebody running 189DPI... I'd love to hear more about that.
I'm running 240DPI at the moment and for me, with a few quirks, it's fine. I dislike the Samsung keyboard so changed that to Swype on day-one of owning the Note 2. So really all I'm left with is the odd graphical problem or quirk (such as the comedy-looking dialer) which is fine by me.
Can someone using 240 dpi post some screenshots of their icons please

I have a running 240 DPI rom with fixed camera app and touchwiz. Its got a few set backs for example not spen touchwiz detection. And no samsung keyboard, instead I installed swiftkey.
I might release it soon...
What's the easiest way to change dpi? I'm already rooted and want to try 270 since you guys says that's the lowest we can run without problems.

Hello all,
I am looking for roms with lower than usual dpi, currently using battery plus, but wondered if there are anymore that people can recommend. I have I have scanned through and I'm guessing not, but just hoping.

Does that work, why do I read about people having to mod all the the apk for lower dpi? I and how do I do it, I tried to edit build prop before on a rooted rom and it wouldn't save, do I need do it on a pc and push it to the phone or can I do it from the phone?

You need camera.apk for lower dpi. You can find it at "Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps" sub-forum. Samsung keyboard won't work too, but I don't care. I prefer Thumb Keyboard. Everything else works excelent.

how about stock alarm clock?
Hey,
So i came from the galaxy s 2 and this awesome guy made a modded TW launcher 182 DPI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/mod-standard-dpi-stock-apps-t2003734
This changes the whole experience as much more info can be sqeezed into the default screen.
Now obiously i dont want a 182 dpi on the note 3 but rather around the 390 but i was wondering is it possible in anyway to make the icons on the note 3 smaller. Also, is it possible to change the TW grid to 6X7(couldn't find anything on the settings) .I know i cant get it through other launchers but i do like the TW stock one.
I tought id be able to find something like this on xposed but i couldn't find anything that fits.
I got so used to is by now that everything on the note 3(icons and toggle wise) seems too big.
If it changed anything i have the n9005 international using x note 4.4.2 nc2.
Any idea? Modes?

TW 6x7 ? I haven't seen it so far on custom ROM, especially on TW launcher on Note 3.
But yes, you can use XNote, there's a function to change the DPI for the whole ROM, and the samsung apps all directly adjusted just by 1 pressing from X-transformer.
But.... the smallest DPI there only 289 DPI. And damn small already. I tried 290dpi before, phew... my eyes can't stand the size. I can't imagine you have requested to 182 dpi. **shake head**.
Try the X-Note ROM, the dpi changer is quite good, all adjusted and align very well. :good:
Cheers.

As i wrote i am using the x note and custom dpi with it to the whole system but the icons are too big for me and i want to make it smaller as well as reduce the size of the icons.
182 wouldn't be oparateable... even if it was possible.

You could use unicon. It will make your icon smaller and theme/change your icons(but no option to retain stock icons). My 360dpi setting with x-note

It's a paid apps in playstore. There're lots of themes for the icons and i've tried a few but the icons are not play well with note 3 with modified dpi. Some are bigger and some are smaller. But that 'dark edge theme' is good at 360dpi

Thanks a lot,
If anyone has another idea I would love to hear as this frustrates me.
I'm running X Note at 289 but wish I could program it to revert back to 480 so Themer doesn't look like this. (I just 0x1'd my Note 3)
Then revert it to 480dpi using x note transformer
That requires reboot. Per App settings should work, but required resolution isn't offered.

I recently started looking into DPI tweaking for my Tab Z and I was wondering if anyone already has found sweet spot DPI values that for one reason or another are preferred over the stock DPI. I believe the stock one was 240.
Just a word of caution: setting it over 260 seems to cause systemui to stop working constantly and device becomes unusable.
160 works well if your eyes are good lol but ui is off. Need a non stock launcher I think
