Hi all, I've been rooting/flashing/customizing my EpicTouch4G for a while, just upgraded to the S4, got it rooted with no issues.. Everything is working perfect so far, getting some apps installed and its running great. I didn't realize the S4 comes at 1.83gHZ..
So, my question is this, I like using low DPI settings, and on my ET4G, stock TW was 240DPI, on the S4, stock TW is 480DPI. Does anyone know the lowest DPI the S4 can run with stock TW? On the ET4G, I'm sure 160DPI was the lowest setting stock TW would run.
Thanks for the help

361 is a nice DPI, try it out.
Been looking to change DPI on TW for awhile on the S4 - posted a thread about it but no one had tried yet. What are you using to change it? Manually editing the build prop? And what have you guys personally safely changed it to?

You can use ROM Toolbox to edit the build.prop
Keep in mind that in TW, the dialer will be off-centered.

Thanks for the post. Is 361 as low as it goes without getting fc's to start? On my E4GT, I went from 240 to 160 (TW of course, I really like 100 or even 85 on AoSP based builds)
The reason why I am trying to find this info out before I test is because on TW, I have set it too low and soft bricked, I wasent able to fix cause of a boot loop.. so I am trying to avoid that happening on my S4

Well, I don't run TW at all... I only changed the DPI on TW because I had the phone before Loki was released, so I don't know the minimum... I've gone as low as 320, which I found too small... 240, 160, 100, 85, even if it did work, would be so tiny it would be unreadable... DPIs that low are fold old school phones like S1 and Nexus S... Old, crappy screens... I found 320 too small, but it worked...

Ok guys, Got ya for ya.
I changed my dpi to 320, and bascially everything is working fine. The only problem is the camera is only using the top left of the screen. Its not taking up the whole screen. Annoying.
To try and fix it, I installed xposed framework and the module app settings, set it so the camera app uses the default 440 dpi. No change. Restarted. Same. Messed with the app some more, and come to the conclusion either i'm using it wrong or it doesnt work for our phones...
So my question to you, how are you overcoming this? Just living with it? The focal points are all messed up as well which is driving me nutso. Any suggestions?
Thanksss
is the default 440? i thought i remember someone saying in another thread they used xposed to set the camera back to 480 and that fixed it?

i'll have to try that... I was thinking 440.. but i could very well be wrong. trying now
Edit:
tried 480 and its not working....
Do you know if there are other settings i need to change as well? I changed the dpi in the app, but do i need to do anything with permissions or any of the other settings?
Thanks!
In app settings 480 DPI screen dp 480x854

How did you go about changing the DPI for everything? I have xposed and the app that lets me change it per app, but I'd like to make EVERYTHING 320 except for apps I modify with Xposed. thanks
Can you guys provide screenshots of your phone with your changed DPI? This is one of the main reasons I rooted my phone. Thanks.

you can simply change it by apps like lcd density/rom tool box. i get used to modify the build.prop.
Which module do you use to adjust dpi for camera? Thank you.

It works without reboot i just tried it.Put the 480 then saved,it said it will stop the camera app in order for the new changes to take effect.Try to use another value to see.
I will ask a stupid question.But did you changed the DPI of your phone and the camera now is not full screen as it was?
Can you screenshot your settings like I did so I can compare

I cannot post a screenshoot right now.But its the same thing you posted.And another stupid question is coming lol Do you have the app setting checked from within xposed installer?I have a feeling that it might be the problem.You need to check the module from within 1st in order for it to work.
Also guys when you want to change your phone DPI,and not do it app by app you can use Texdroider its in the store.
It's all checked and turned on. Oh well. Guess I'll just use the Lenovo camera. Thanks anyway.

Tried it, didn't work, "SystemUI has stopped" like before. I believe we have to modify SystemUI like the S4 to get the NavBar to work.
any news?
I'm pretty happy with "Ultimate Dynamic Navbar" on my phone. The one major downside is that it covers part of the screen. I just set it to the minimum height for now (it's bigger in the attached pic). But I love the customizable icons (Samsung style, HTC style, etc).
After that, I turned off the backlight in the system settings and used "Xposed Additions" to disable/remap the capacitive touch keys.

Just rooted my S5 and adjusted the DPI in my build.prop to 400. Works great except my lockscreen alignment is all off. Any quick fix?

Same for me, I haven't been able to find much on it, but I think it is part of TouchWiz framework, not 100% sure though.

Yeah I never had the issue on my S3 but I was running a custom CM based custom ROM. I'm surprised that there isn't more mention of it as I would think there are a lot of people changing their DPI once rooted.

Very true, I am on VZW so no custom ROM for me as of yet. I just got the S5 for a good deal. I am coming from a Moto X DE and LG G2. I miss both but I also like a few things with the S5. But the 480 DPI on this phone makes me feel like I'm running 640x480 on a 21" LCD.. Very sad that they cant allow different resolutions for large screen devices at the least.

I have been using xposed App Settings app to adjust DPI on an individual app basis and it is a decent workaround.
Tapped it!
Anyone found a quick fix to this issue at hand (misalignment on lockscreen)?
If so, which App Settings app would be used to control the lockscreen DPI? I'm pretty sure lockscreen was part of SystemUI but won't that change my system DPI as well?
jeffreylin_ said:
The lock screen is park of Keyguard.apk or something to that effect.
Also, SystemUI is only the status bar and similar things.

Keyguard helped make the circles on the fingerprint lockscreen bigger - but it is leaning more to the left because the lockscreen is scaled.

Not sure if everyone already figured this out but setting the systemui to 480 in app settings does fix the lockscreen issue. You just have to make sure that you reboot the phone. Unfortunately systemui controls a lot of the things that I want to have the lower DPI such as status bar. I then had to set 480 for the camera and the incallui to fix them.

SystemUI is basically most of the phone and the reason why people adjust it below stock in the first reason.
I might as well stick to stock DPI...LOL

Yeah that's what I was saying. I actually have gone back to 480 and am just using custom settings on apps I want. A lot of the stock Samsung apps only work properly at 480.

There is no fix for the lock screen. Samsung compiles all the firmwares with only one dpi in mind. To fix it someone would have to decompile keyguard.apk and increase all the values to the specific dpi. Pretty big project.
I wish the status bar and quicksettings were separate from the systemui then we could probably take care of them with the app settings xposed mod too

Yes, but only if you're rooted. If so, install Xposed framework and then Wanam module from Play Store. In there you can change this and ALOT more ?.
I was actually wondering this as well. Custom ROMs like Alliance have the option to change the brightness slider background color, but if you use Wanam you can only change the notification panel background or the header background. I looked around in SystemUI and tried to find the png, but I couldn't find anything that's specific to the brightness slider background. I suppose if you use wanam you could use a custom png image for the notification background, where the top 80 pixels or so are the brightness slider background you want...

He gave you the answer, the only cost is using Alliance Rom, and that gives more than it takes, so it's a win win
Plus if you change roms that's only one of many more options that you'll have, that you don't have now... But, free choice and all that.. Just sayin.
