Hello,
so i was wondering if there is any tweak to change the icon size (Home Screen / App Drawer) on Pure Nexus rom.
i know we can modify icon size with xposed, but i don't think i want to installed xposed on my pure nexus.

You can also use a custom launcher like Nova.
Custom launcher, or change your dpi. There's a simple way to do that by modifying your build.prop, but there's also a free app on the play store called texdroider that'll do it for you. Heads up though, lowering dpi will make everything smaller! Personally, I love that seeing as we have such a sharp, big screen. It allows a lot more to fit without scrolling. Just try different values until you find one you like!

Hi guys,
I have changed my DPI and the screen looks much better - but all it has achieved is moving my screen up I don't have any more rows on my homescreen, or my app drawer, my phone dialler is moved up etc.
Is there any way to take advantage of the 'extra space' achieved with a modified DPI?
To what dpi did you change it ?

You'll have to find stock apps that are modified to support multi DPI. I think I saw some of those somewhere. You'll have to search around.
Root: Yes
Rom: Beansrom v6
Does anyone know which app is responsible for drawing the android lockscreen? I set my build.prop DPI down to 320, which is awesome for most of the device, but it makes the lockscreen unlock grid really tiny. I have access to the xposed per-app dpi settings on my phone, and have successfully fixed other problematic applications, but I can't seem to find the lockscreen anywhere. Any input would be appreciated.
Lockscreen is controlled by Android System. I set it to 320 just to test it and it messes up a lot of stuff.

Really, like what? I've been running like this for a month and the only thing I've noticed was the small unlock grid (and a few samsung apps with weird layouts that I have since fixed individually)
Also, if I adjust android system, it will adjust everything (font, notif. bar, etc...) Any idea on how to adjust only the lockscreen?
I set dpi to 320 and my keyboard blew up to the point I could only see four or five of the keys. TW Launcher on the other hand shrunk to the size of a 4" phone. I could've fixed most of the issues but I didn't feel like messing with it. Also, I don't know how to adjust only the lockscreen. I think that modifying it without some dev experience would be difficult.

Hi guys...
I wanted to ask is it possible to change the screen density from 460 to 360 without looking weird? Because 460 is too big.
Thank you in advance
I'm not sure, but isn't it possible via build.prop? Though it might require editing certain applications to fix layout issues.
Isn't the default 480? Anyway, of course you can change it, but as always, you'll have to modify some of the stock apps to fit right
You can use any DPI changer app (like textdroider) or edit build.prop to modify your DPI. That will make your touchwiz interface look really wonky, the icons will be smaller, but only about half of the screen will be utilized. What you then can do is to install an alternative launcher like Nova to use instead of the Touchwiz launcher. Unfortunately that means you won't be able to use some Touchwiz features such as the S planner widget.
Another thing you could do is to download a modified touchwiz lollipop launcher here from XDA (under themes\apps). That won't change the DPI, but it will allow for more icons on each screen. These launchers might cause some issues when trying to resize widgets to fit properly on the screen.
Just download Apex or Nova. They allow you to change the size of everything in your launcher, from icons to text.
Yes you'll loose the S Planner widget functionality. There are plenty of replacement apps.
Changing the density will cause more problems than it solves. Try the easy route first.

I've looked around and I've found a method that works with Style/Pure but it seems not working on my Play
The trick is:
- Remove LauncherConfig, which is locking rows to 4 icons from /system/app
- Reboot
- Wipe data on Google App
- Go to home screen
- You now have 5 icons per row
Any ideas? Maybe changing DPI
Just use Nova launcher

I'm just too used to GNL, the left page it's so much useful
The best way to improve GNL is to have a bigger grid size
I am using Note 3 custom 6.0.1 rom, rooted and have xposed running. I used device control to reset DPi from 480 to 320. Like always, it resizes every app. Fortunately, I installed App Setting from Xposed module to resize unsupported apps like camera, keypad etc. The problem is, my TouchWiz is somehow partially effected because the grid kept its 480 scale (see attachment to see what i am talking about). I attempted to resize it from 320 to 480 back but the icon is not in their position/drawer so I left it 320 with this problem still. Any solutions?
P/S sorry for bad drawing
After change it back to 480, reboot.
Samsung launcher isn't multidpi. Best used at 480. You need to use modded launcher.
