I recently changed my phone's dpi to 330dpi though texdroider_dpi everything changed perfectly without any problem except for the
1) Camera
2) Phone (keypad, contacts,logs)
3)Lock screen
I installed the App setting app from the Xposed framework to only change the dpi of those apps back to 480dpi. I actually managed to change the camera and the Phone (keypad, contacts,logs) but I wasn't able to change the lock screen dpi since I don't know it's name as I searched a lot for it inside the application but couldn't find it.
So can anyone help me with this by telling me the lock screen's name in the system so i can manage to change it's dpi.
Thanks
It's been a while since you posted your question.
I'm having the same issue: fixed some dpi's with app settings but cant find how to fix dpi from lockscreen numpad.
Did you manage to fix the problem? If so, would love to hear how!

Search for com.android.keyguard and set the dpi accordingly and check Apply res to widgets and reboot your device .
Hope this helps you worked for me .

Thank you very much for your reply. Your tip helped. :good::good:
Hi, I've just jumped from my modded 240dpi N7100 note2 to brand new N910F note4 and with the 2560x1440 screen everything seems to me so huge on the screen
I have root done and now thinking about changing the size of everything on the screen to more friendly size, anyone has some experience with it on this new battle ground?
I will try to change build.prop but would like to ask first before I do something stupid.
thanks
update!!!
after changing the dpi in build.prop to 340 finished with boot loop

not yet, just going to reflesh it now with original firmware
update:
I am now after refleshing and back to stock dpi settings with no problems
did you try using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
I used this app on my LGG3 which also has the same QHD screen and it worked perfectly
I've changed it to 480 which is about as small as I think is useful. No boot loop issues.
I did have to use the Xposed app 'App Settings' to reset the stock apps like Clock, Contacts, Camera back to 640.
The issue that everyone has that right now has no solution is the lock screen becomes misaligned.
Hi. U try to change the DPI again?

I will wait a little bit longer for some 100% solution,
I've just changed now dpi in gmail and chrome using exposed app settings and it works for a short while but after several restarts just stops! now my app settings has no any impact for the apps
all is displayed in 640 dpi only, tried to re-save it again but no luck

Attached two screenshots - it looks pretty "normal" since I use Nova Prime to increase icon size and such (and you need to make Font size in display large), but you can see the status bar height in the first screenshot and the size of each notification in the second screenshot - much more compact.

Yeah it's a must for me. However be aware that it will misalign the locksceen if you use fingerprint lock. It doesn't impact functionality at all, just visual so I can live with it until hopefully a dev fixes it.
Is it posibble to change the default Samsung launcher to behave like on a tablet (allow landscape) that way? Or maybe installing a different launcher is the solution (do Nova or Google Now allow it?)? I am used to tablets and would love to use my Note 4 with tablet interface...
Hello
Use xposed framework to and install "app settings". Then use a build prop editor and change the ro lcd density from 640 to 480.
Then once you've rebooted you will see that some Samsung apps (including the phone and camera) do not scale well. To fix this - change their dpi back to 640 by using the "App settings" then reboot.
Voila.

Oops I missed the reference already made to xposed. Terribly sorry.

Yeah i remembered same and tested to change it to 640 but still looking bad... So i'm thinking i need change something else (also?). Is there any other app than App Settings which i can use to change some apps dpi setting?
I personally drop my dpi by 80 on all my devices. So on the note 2 I went from 320 to 240. On the Note 3 I went from 480 to 400. On the Note 4 I went from 560 to 480 and everything worked fine with no boot loops. I used Rom Toolbox to change mine. I also used App Settings in Xposed to change some apps back for usability. Like dialer, gallery, calculator, camera, etc.

WOOT - thanks for the tip man. Changed keyguard to 640 in app settings, also clicked the apply res to widgets box (not sure if needed), and then rebooted. Simply using the option to kill app didn't reset the lockscreen.
However after reboot my lockscreen with fingerprint is back to 640 and everything else is still at 480.
After changing lcd density to 240 my navbar buttons aren't centered anymore. I've attached a screenshot of the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Well go look in the systemfiles for the navbar settings file and change its alignment to centered or the width of it or reset the dpi. (Why would you even change it?)

Thanks for the fast reply. I changed the dpi because by default everything is much too large and too much of the screen size is being wasted imo.
Where exactly are the settings files for the navigation bar located? I've only edited build.prop before and I'm not familiar with the rest of the files.

I'll be honest with you. If you are not familiar with it you should probably let it be. But if you still want it you might want to take a look at these and probably even flash it.

I'm not quite sure but they should work on android 6 as well. Don't ask S3VEN for Support cause he is not here anymore.

Links are dead and by the look of it all it does is change the size of the icons. Having an altered lcd density would probably still cause the icons to be off center.
Thanks anyway. I'll install xposed and give gravitybox or some other modules a try and report back in case anyone else is also having the same problem.
Hello everyone,
considering the phone has two screen I was wondering if it was possible to change the DPI on the main screen (AMOLED) without affecting the eInk screen ?
Thank you
Regards

Yes. I am using Yotaphone 2 (YD201) with 440 dpi and it's really OK.
I think it doesn't change the eink display.
You can do changes using build.prop file in LCD_DENSITY parametr.
Regards!

Have you experienced any problems with vibration as after changing to 440 it was replaced with a strange sound (in some applications). Changing to 420 reverted the vibration back.
Also, hopefully someone will find it useful, changing the DPI (checked at 420) makes screen tapping incredibly sensitive which makes tapping a headache. Fortunately, it's reproducible only when the device is connected via USB (I used the same cable as when changing the DPI via adb)..
Another issue is that all avatars and received through viber images now look as the attached picture.. I've already sent an email to viber asking for help. So, fingers crossed.
I see backlight is working when AOD is switched on but everything else on screen is missing. I can not see clock or notifications. I cleared the data of AOD and AOD provider but it did not help unfortunately. Proximity sensor is working fine.
Hard reset or some app is interuppting your always on display
Did you change the DPI? needs to be stock otherwise stops AOD from working
After factory reset AOD come back to life.
Also it is working great with DPI changed to fit more content on the screen.

I use the 'display scaling' option when changing the DPI value. No root. We'll see.
