Hello, I was messing around with my DPI and found that if you change the DPI to 640 and reboot you get the old S6 style icons back. Do a backup in twrp before you do this, this is just a useless bug and it also breaks the camera along with the gallery icon being missing this is literally just to try...
Code:
adb shell
$su
#wm density 640
reboot

LCD Density Changer is not giving me the options to set it as default density. I'm guessing it has something to do with Busybox as I cannot update my Busybox. Anyone else having this issue or know how I can fix it?
EDIT: Fixed it please using Titanium backup
i noticed that i was having issues on my tab as well, so i decided to delete the app even though i have the latest Busybox.
use root explorer to open /system/build.prop
find lcd densitry and change it to whatever you like
remount, reboot and enjoy
I just hit the problems button in titanium and it fixed whatever was wrong cuz it gave me the density setting back
Guys I heard by changing the DPI of Oxygen OS reduces lag..
It even improves the laggy camera app..
Never heard before..
If yes best way to change DPI & how much wil be better?
Root, then install le dpi changer.
It's just "ro.sf.lcd_density" property in build.prop file.
No need to install all kind of special apps. Just edit the file (root needed for editing system file) and reboot.
I found ro.sf.lcd_density=400 to be good enough zoom out,
so more stuff can fit on screen but still things are readable.
Use adb command from your PC: " adb shell wm density XXX" where xxx is your desired dpi. This can be done on rooted or non rooted devices.
I currently use 240 dpi but you can try different ones to find the right one that suits you.

First of all you need root and init d support.
Second i will not take responsibility if something happens to you're phone.
I tried screen shift for a long time, but it kept disabling the set at boot and i got sick of it. Now im using 1600x900 with 360dpi with init d script and could not be happier that it works perfectly.
1. Download the file.
2. Open your preferred file manager with root priviliges.
3. Browse to your download folder and search the file.
4. Remove the txt extension from the file by renaming it.
4. Open the file with text editor and change the resolution and dpi to what you want.
5. Copy or cut the file into /etc/init.d
6. Reboot your phone and boom! You have you're desired resolution and dpi set at boot.
Stock 1900x1080 480dpi file attached.
You can change the values with text editor if you wan't different resolution and dpi.
1600x900 360dpi setting file also included.
Eh?
Code:
adb shell wm density “INSERT_DPI” && adb reboot

What about the resolution?
I think that that only changes dpi.
I want more performance with lower res.

Code:
wm size "resolution"
wm size reset
wm density "DPI"
wm density reset
Does that also work with every boot?
I thought earlier that it just changed the value and after boot it would not stick.
Maybe i should not make guides since im a bit nooby with this. I just thought that it would make life easier for people like me.
I will just add the adb commands to it and call it a day.
I'm pretty confused... I'm running Cataclysm with regular root (not systemless) and I've modified the build.prop (shows the modified value even after reboot) to change my screen dpi but upon reboot my dpi stays unchanged. Any ideas? I've tried to change the dpi through the adb method and that works but it shows some odd behavior in play store (some icons being too large, etc.) that other people say don't occur if you modify build.prop.

I'm running cataclysm as well. Changing the build prop works fine for me. Maybe it's the file manager application? I've had it happen to me when I first got my 6p and tried using root explorer. Also, make sure that you are actually saving the new build.prop and the values change before doing a FULL reboot
I had this exact problem on stock. I ended up downloading one of those DPI changer apps on the play store and it worked.. I have changed bp many times in the past. Don't know what was happening.

I tried dpi changers and build.prop editor apps and nothing works. I can change the model name and see the change reflected in the "about phone" section of settings so I know that the build.prop is being successfully edited. It just seems like my phone refuses to read the lcd_density line.
An update in case someone else runs into this problem. I can get the desired proper scaling if I change the build.prop value and use adb shell wm density with the same value in the build.prop. This fixes the scaling annoyances that I see from using adb shell wm density only to make the dpi smaller. I'm guessing the reason I can't use build.prop only to change the dpi is because I first tried to change the dpi using adb. For some reason that must trigger something and both places have to be changed.
Hi there,
i used the ADB Shell to push the NavBar on the Bottom down for about -35 px but my problem is that the Standard Bar still got a littel chin/space on the top. Look in the Screenshots...
Original NavBar: prntscr.com#k5qjl9 (just add HTTP and replace the # with /)
Modified NavBar: prntscr.com#k5qk0c (just add HTTP and replace the # with /)
(Had to remove the URL bcs im new to this Forum...)
I marked the Space Yellow...
Is there any Command to Overlab the Displaypart over the Bar or to just Cut it?
Best Regards Joker
