Without root?

There is in android n. I believe you can do it through adb without root on MM too.

Looking into all possibilities

Screen resolution or DPI?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

If you mean dpi, using adb run:
adb shell wm density xxx && adb reboot
Replace "xxx" with the dpi you want (560 is stock, I use 484 which is what android N describes as small)
Don't need root for this.

This causes some issues with some apps as they don't scale properly as with the build prop tweak

[Q] Change density without a app?

hmm was bored so i moved my density to 160... lol made everything small and now the launcher keeps failing... so how can i change the density in adb or something without using my phone?
you'd have to pull your build.prop via adb and edit it I guess notepad++? Then find where is says dpi or resolution whereever you find the 160 at and change it back to 240 save it and push it back in the /system

[Q] How to get landscape lockscreen in Nexus 7

I tried modifying framework-res.apk with all of these values in bools.xml
Code:
config_allowAllRotations
Code:
config_enableLockScreenRotation
Code:
lockscreen_isPortrait
and was successfully in replacing the original without bootloop. Unfortunately, none of them works. Is there any truly working way without installing apps (e.g. Set Orientation)? All I need is just get the lockscreen go landscape.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
P/S: I am using Nexus 7 with root
Flash this ROM and then set lockscreen in settings.

I just use this app. No need to hack around and works great.
Take a look at "Set Orientation" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation

How did you change your dpi settings and not go into a bootloop?..

Easiest way would be an app like Rom toolbox by jrummy. What did you change yours to?

Wait you set your DPI to 0? No wonder it bootlooped...
I'm going to try 240 or so, that's what I had on my Note 2. All you have to do is modify build.prop, I used a DPI changer on the play store though as I had issues with my root explorer changing it.
I tried texdroider dpi app from playstore, I changed it to 360 and when I rebooted I never came back. Had to do the flash back to stock process.

Same here, the only value that didn't get a bootloop is 380 DPI, anyone has any clues to this behavior ?

lol if you are root just xposed installer and app settings, then change dpi per app the way you like.
That way you can leave stock untouched

Suggested bloatware to remove?

I'm an adb novice but I don't wanna trip the root checker even tho I'm on TMO so I wanna dump these bloat apps via adb. I know the rm command but what is the file path for apps and where can I find the file names of all the sucky non removable apps?

I'm on att, but it's usually /system/app. I must say, however, as a novice, perhaps you should use the mv command to rename instead.

If you don't know, don't try it!!!
I suggest you go read up on some things. Otherwise you'll have a beautiful Samsung paperweight one day...

Just use texdroider.... You have a high chance of bootlooping if you follow those steps.
