I use 440 on mine, I like being able to fit more on my screen. Screenshots:

440 looks really good!
I always like having more on my screen as well, so that DPI is worth checking out when I get my 6P, thanks.

520 is my favourite. I find lower than just too small.

If you have one that is not default, please post pictures.

anyone having issues with SwiftKey after changing DPI ?

Yes swiftkey breaks when you change DPI. I mailed them and this is the reply I got

Hi,
Thank you for contacting SwiftKey Support. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out.
Have you changed your DPI. This is what happens when people change the DPI, as we don't support this.
Cheers,

440 is what I use on mine.. I tried 400 and it was too small.. haha.. 480 isnt small enough...

I am using 320 for mine. Looks great, a little small on some applications, but everything is working well at this DPI.

Using 480. These old eyes just can't see well if I take it any smaller

I changed mine to 400 yesterday, and I quite like it actually..

440 seems to be the sweet spot...adding more icons/content to the homescreen etc is a go

S4 wallpapers need to be 1920 (height) by 1080 (width), or for launchers where the wallpaper scrolls you take the width and multiply it by two (1920x1920)
If the res is lower then it will zoom in, also if the aspect ratio of the original image is to different from the s4 then it may also zoom and auto crop parts :/ hope this helps, otherwise good luck!

1080x1080 or 1920x1920???? anyway can you tell me for my case that i have wallpaper scroll ..what is the correct size to make the wallpaper in full size without zoom???​
it depends on ROM, and launcher.
the stock launcher wall paper size is 1080*1920
any other launcher with wallpaper scrolling should be 2160*1920

(MOD) Textra 2.36 with modded bubbles

Hi guys
I made this for myself for my device N5 because i dont like textras bubbles much...I am a noob, this was my first mod so i dont take responsability if anything goes wrong(and probably wont be able to fix it in case anything goes wrong lol). Everything seems to be working properly without issues.
Please let me know if this infringes any copyright because i have no idea(and i will gladly remove it if it infringes any rules of xda)
Here's a screenshot to see what it looks like:

You are kidding. I took a screen shot of Textra on my phone, untouched

i dont understand what you mean...why am i kidding?Why did you take a screenshot of textra?does my modded version show up with the same bubbles as textra?
The difference is so small. I could understand if one was bubbles and one rectangles. Its a bit OCD, but everyone to his own. I did download it and set it. Was hoping for more change
I like it better than stock textra, thanks

And personally, I dig the bubbles. I don't use Textra, but I'll definitely keep this mod stored in case I do.

How are you made this screen shot? Is amazing
Used a free program called paint.net It is very cool, with a lot of user developed add-ons for it. Took me about 2 minutes to produce the image!
Mine is fairly standard at the moment. I'll have more of a play with customising during my 3 weeks off work
Gone for a very clean look! Really like how the wallpaper turned out
Hopefully getting mine by the end of the year! Just posting here *gasp* without any pictures so that I can make it to the first page
edit: Looks quite bare here, but the sharp AMOLED really makes this
Can anybody tell me what calendar app is this? TQ.

@the_scotsman Hey can you help out? That is actually a really good looking app too!
Actually what I would like to know is what is the weather app? That looks awesome. Here is a setup I have finally settled on.

Hi mate, what weather app is that? I can't seem to find any which don't cycle between different views, I'd like a simple one, just like that.
PS: What system info app is that, also?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a list of recommended items to turn off? Just ordered my S7 and should have it shortly. Switching from the original Nexus 5.

You can disable apps but not remove them. Kind of a bunmer. I was debating on going 5x as the s7 has the lock feel that Iphones do

JAYNO20's list is probably fine but there's more discussion on this in the battery thread here if you're interested.
Thanks all!
Thanks much. Lots of help for a noob like me. I found the app. I'll study it carefully. Some of the stuff I'll want to keep or be afraid of doing right now.

Great images. Will upload some of mine when I'm at my laptop.
Oh btw, you should state preferred dimensions as "1440 (or greater) x 2560", as the wider wallpapers allow that quasi-parallax effect.
Enjoy!
