Change LCD density on any jelly bean rom(tested and working)

Hey guys...
Earlier I was having real trouble in changing density on jelly bean rom and neither changing in build prop or nor any third party apps worked.
After lots of search and using all apps I found an app that can finally change dpi even on jelly bean rom.I thaught others still dont know its solution so I m sharing it.you can't apply any hdpi or other themes if u are not able to change LCD density
Link to app-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_term=play+store-resolution+change/density
Interesting tip:-
Guys u can apply any theme if u change dpi of your phone below 160 either theme is for hdpi or xhdpi devices and if u don't want to change dpi that much,u just change it to 159.Even than all themes will work and it will not make any difference on your stock look

Love to change density but, the main problem faced is the market compatibility issue...else 140 was too beautiful...:good:

Guys pls share if it did work 4 u also as it did work 4 me

oh? so this app is a big deal..hahahha.. been using this since the beginning of jelly bean in our O1,. working good!

xposed dpi app settings

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 ?

Change DPI Oneplus 2?

I´m root in my Oneplus Two, and downloaded texdroider_dpi and Root DPI Changer.
Neither works!!
I tried too change build.prop, but ro.sf.lcd_density or another density value don´t appears.
Any solution for change DPI in OP2?
Thanks!

Hey,
i use a flashable zip. Download it from here: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/RvfbVEkr/file.html
to edit the DPI, open the .zip and go to folder tmp and edit the "misc" file with a text editor.
after this you can flash it trough recovery
Greetings

What DPI did you set it to, and have you experienced any issues with your custom DPI so far?

I set 380 DPI, and I have not found errors for now.
350 DPI, the default one in the zip, I´m encounter all the system elements too small.

I´m newbie and I can´t post pictures yet, sorry.
But I seen a few mistakes in some apps, but I don´t know if problem of Oxygen OS or DPI.
Some apps like Solid Explorer or PocketCast get default Dark Theme.
That is, even if they are placed in Light theme in settings app , stay in dark theme and I can´t change this no way. This is case of Pocket Cast.
In Solid Explorer case, it stay in light theme, but text are in white and can´t read nothing. I must put the app in dark theme to use it .
It is all very strange .

I see no prob with 380 all apps work as before and no fcs till now

I don't have any intentions to advertise, but recently I published a DPI Changer app to Play Store which by default sets DPI using local.prop method(works fine on COS12 and OxygenOS on OnePlus One) and also has an option to set it via build.prop method. I positively believe it would work for OnePlus Two too, if not I would love some feedback.

Easiest way is adding the line ro.sf.lcd_density=380 in the build.prop

The way I did it was going in and adding the ro.sf.lcd_density=380 to the build.prop myself as for some reason it wasn't there. Then I connected the OPT to the computer and used the ADB Command Prompt (adb shell wm density 380) to change the DPI as well.
I had to do this because if I used an app to change the DPI the keyboards would screw up and be incredibly large and unusable.

Can someone please post some screenshots? Thank you in advance

Damn that's weird, thanks for the feedback! I'll look into it ASAP.

I updated the app to specifically work on OnePlus 2, can anyone try and tell if it's working? Thanks.

Le DPI working fine in Oneplus 2 (oxygen 2.0.1) using BUILD. PROP.
thanks

my experience with the app " The DPI "
First I tried with the second function of the app (BUILD. PROP) and restarting the phone had a bootloop.
Fortunately I had a Nbackup
According to the first attempt I tried the first method off the app , rebooted and nothing changed then I tried again the BUILD. PROP and it worked!
perhaps the first method have created something away for work the second method
