Axon 7: Changed DPI - many Apps with display errors? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've changed the DPI of my A7 from 640 (stock) to 560 via adb:
Code:
adb shell wm density 560
Unfortunatelly many Apps have problems now and show display errors, e. g. too big icons, etc.
Anyone know, how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Try 544. it corrected the keyboard and notification bell but my phone app is still off. I also found that editing the build.prop was a better way to change DPI if you're rooted.

Thank you, but I have no problems with the notification bell (lockscreen) or the keyboard (I use Google keyboard app). Also the dialer works well (I use the Truecaller app but also stock looks fine).
I also do not want to root my A7 because I want it as stock as possible ... :/ I know, the build.prop would be the "better" way. But with the stock 640 dpi everything is so big ... :/
The most problems have third party apps like tinder (crashes) or Google allo (the profile picture in the top right corner if I open a chat is too big)

I'm using 510.
I've installed the google keyboard as the ZTE does not support it.

are you with TWRP + Rooted?
you can install Xposed and used Setting Apps Module allow you to change DPI per App which is one of the reason why i have xposed in any past device of mine.

I actually just changed my dpi to 560 and everything looks so much better! No errors, no goofy sized icons, everything seems to work.

I believe the native screen density is 538, no clue why they change it from there.

What isn't working with the notification bell? I'm on 560 DPI and have no problems with it - just with 3rd party apps like e. g. Google Allo, as i mentioned...

Your right, notification bell works great. Somebody mentioned earlier on the thread that it didn't work with 560 and I didn't have any notifications to test so I assumed they were correct. I've since gotten notifications and the bell works fine. Really enjoying 560!

Set it back to stock now because also apps like Snapchat or Instagram had problems with 560 dpi via adb shell wm ...

vs980 DPI Density issues with CM10.2

[How-to] auto-switch to 1080p on slimport, using tasker

Both the nexus 4 and the nexus 7 (2013) support slimport, which is very useful for mirroring the device to a big screen. However, neither device uses the standard 16:9 (1080p) aspect ratio. As a result, you end up with some cropping on a 1080p TV. For the nexus 4 it is even worse, since it outputs 768p upscaled to the TV's resolution.
However, the flexibility of android allows us to manually change the native resolution. In a console, we can type the command:
wm size 1080x1920
and the resolution will change. In the device screen the new resolution will look odd, however you now have true 1080p on the TV. To get back to the default resolution you type:
wm size reset
This solution works, but it is not very convenient. So I made two profiles for tasker, that automatically change the device resolution upon the connection of an HDMI cable and reset it when the cable is disconnected, thus automating the whole process.
I 'm attaching a screenshot of the two profiles, as well as a zip file so you can extract and import them in tasker.
In summary,
- you need root
- you need a ppi setting lower than 288 otherwise the navbar disappears
the HDMI plugged profile
- reduces the device brightness to minimize battery consumption
- increases volume
- sets resolution to 1080p
- enables WiFi
- sets display timeout to 10 hours
- activates display rotation
the HDMI un-plugged profile
- sets auto brightness back on
- resets screen resolution
- sets display timeout to 1min
These are optional settings that I found useful to automate, but they are all optional, and you can tweak them once you imported the profile to tasker.
I hope you find this useful!!! :good:
UPDATE: Your device must be set to a ppi lower than 288. I am using 286 myself. To change your ppi:
Open the build.prop file from /system/build.prop
using a text editor/buildprop editor app, change the value of ro.sf.lcd_density=286
save the file, reboot
dont work anymore
Thanks for sharing.. It worked for me in a long time but not it wont change anymore..
Do you know what i could get a conflict? have just installed apps and then last night i wont change resolution when i connect slimport and i cant seem to fix it
Thanks for this, I tried testing the wm size reset command in terminal emulator but for some reason the navbar icons disappear and only come back when I Power Off and restart the device again, I'm on 4.4.4 if it makes any difference.

Make sure tasker is still active and root is working fine.

I don't have that issue, however I'm also running at a lower PPI than the default. I'll try it out at stock PPI and see if I have any issues with the navbar. What is your setup? ROM, xposed, etc.

Stock rooted, qc optimized bionic+dalvik, latest dev preview gpu driver.
For the navbar to showup on my 40" tv in 1920x1080 I have to set the ppi to 288, 289+ it's hidden.
Using

all say my ppi should be 55.07 though.

Thanks, I'm running on a ppi of 286 and everything works fine here as well. I will update the op to let people know that their ppi must be lower than 288 and add instructions on how to set that.
Im not sure if I can have the ppi change with tasker, however, people might be using a lower ppi permanently so having tasker switch it back to the default would suck.
Hi, thanks for this profiles... I don't have HDMI, but will this wm command work also with ChromeCast?

I tested it yesterday. I changed size with command from OP, but there was problem with navbar, I lost navbar in landscape mode, it appears only in portrait mode. When I played video in MX Player I could not go back...
This is maybe because of ppi, which I did not change.

Interesting. You mean when mirroring the device to a chromecast? I dont see why this should not work, I will test it and report back, on vacations now

Yes, you lost the navbar because of your ppi setting. Either change your ppi to anything lower than 288 or use a pie navbar app like LMT (havent tried that though).
I havent found a way to change ppi without the need to reboot the device so I can add it to the tasker profile.

The wm command works perfectly with a Chromecast and you get the right resolution when mirroring. However, tasker cannot pick up when you do a screen cast (for now) so there is no way to automate the process (as far as I can tell).

[Q] How to run applications in tablet mode?

Phone: Galaxy Note 4 910C Exynos
I've been trying to get Evernote and Gmail to run in tablet mode for a few days with no avail.
I've tried Xposed app settings tweaks and a few other tablet-mode xposed mods which at most crashed the system UI.
Does anyone know a working way to accomplish that on the Note 4?
I have the same question?
I'm trying to accomplish this on Firefox to force it in tablet mode. I have no problems on my Note3 to get it, but on Note4 it wont work. Did anyone get it to work and how?
Im on DR.Ketan ROM with multi DPI on note4 ... and on my note3 (which works great without any modifying) im using x-note ROM.

Use "App Settings" Xposed Module. You can change the DPI in a per app basis and force tablet ui mode too (touch "resolution" and apply the biggest one).

Hi,
there is an app that I've used for it on my n910f.
UI Tuner (aka Window Manager) on Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.uituner
It works like App settings. Go to menu in UI Tuner and select per app settings. From there you can choose the app you want to run tablet mode. Just type an lower density value and higher screen size. You can google for some tablet values.
More information you can find here on xda. Search for window manager.
It didn't work for me. Looks like there is no way to run firefox in tablet mode on note4 ...

Sorry mate. For other apps it worked for me. But Firefox app seems get some device information (assume from build.prop) to recognize which mode it should start, so it is no matter what dpi or screen size you have.

Probably In Xposed AppSettings it changes the DPI like it should, but firefox just doesnt recognize it. I cant get behind the logic of that, because on the Note3 the same version works excellent in tablet UI. Looks like i have to switch completely to the RAM eater chrome.
Ill ask it in the ROM section, maybe its something ROM related or the dev could help me out.

I found that setting the global DPI on my G4 with textdroider changed Firefox into tablet mode at a certain point (450 worked, with my device default being 640), but it doesn't work with App Settings.
My suggestion is to change your entire DPI to some smaller number with textdroider and adjust apps to a larger size as needed. Kinda annoying, but should do the trick.

LCD Density & Camera App

Hey all,
I just recently changed the LCD density of my note 4 to 500.
All of the apps seem to work flawlessly apart from the camera app. For some reason when in full screen it doesn't stretch to fit the screen but end up with black bars around two edges. It seems like a scaling issue. Is there a way to fix this?
Cheers,
kipp
I hope you are in 5.0.1 , If so you can flash this wwwandroidfilehostcom/?fid=95916177934555233 to get the dialer and the touchwiz camera to work flawlessly . The improper scaling happens because the lazy samsung devs not only deliver buggy slow ass Touchwiz as well as non Multi DPI compatible apps .
Thanks Aukhan for the flasahble zips

Is there any fix for 5.1.1?
Do you try xposed module "app settings"? You can change DPI per app
I dont think Xposed works for Touchwiz 5.1.1 and If so i highly doubt App settings module's compatibility

DPI to 320

Hey guys! Yesterday I installed CheloZTeam ROM because Cloudy's ROM in DPI below 400 stopped launching Phone, SMS, Clock, etc. I tried "App Settings", but everythings working until some event, like Clock is working great until rings alarm clock, SMS are working until someone writes to me, Phone is working until someone is calling me and etc. So I went to CheloZTeam, but i want to go below 380 and there are the same problems. Maybe someone have fix for "App Settings" or some other app like that? Or maybe it's possible to make app DPI compability myself ? I know that there are 3rd party apps, but I like stock ones. I have read countles threads but I found nothing.
Hope for your help guys! Thank you!
Anyone?
