I updated to nougat today. Icons seems a little larger for my taste. I used to use condensed mode on MM. Any way I can make icons smaller?
The display scaling should be under display settings
I had same problem after updating to Nougat.
Fixed as follows:
Settings > Display > Easy Mode
Enable Standard Mode
Click "Done"

1. First, go into Settings
2. Tap on the Display option
3. Select the Screen modes tab
4. You see the four different color profiles available, the default is Adaptive display

5. Tap on the other ones and notice how the picture of the bottles changes slightly in appearance (noticeable only on the phone itself)
6. You have the AMOLED photo mode as well
7. The screen mode that is the closest to the sRGB industry color standard is actually the Basic mode
back in 2014 i started on a ui design i called symetiumos, i was able to find a team to make it into a launcher but i ended up getting scammed by them they simply left me with it in a very broken unusable state, i released the launcher on the playstore and despite it being broken the response has been overwhelming, so far it has nearly 5 stars and over 300 downloads, i am looking for someone that can help me finish the launcher and fix it's bugs
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.symetium.ui.launcher&hl=en
this is a full list of everything thats remaining some things can be skipped such as automatic appsorting or the modes system (modes system works by combining two identical settings screens into one, it's like backing up your settings on a random launcher, my launcher would have two settings screens one for portrait one for landscape it would use each depending on orientation it's like a launcher that has portrait and landscape settings for grid, but my launcher has it for the entire settings screen, so if you set the color layer to red in portrait and green in landscape then it will be green when you flip the phone, because the launcher changes to a new settings screen in landscape, it's like if you kept backups of multiple settings configs then have the launcher flip between them, each mode uses two settings screens identical ones only difference being what the user adjusts them to.
the main bugs are
1.full appdrawer needs to be replaced or repaired it lags, the icons in it are offcentered, the full appdrawer button needs to be 4 dots, it should be pullable down right now you need to press the x to close it you should be able to pull it down like any other appdrawer, if you set it to disabled then the button should not be visible any more.
2.the "system" category needs to be removed it lags and it shouldn't be there, the team added it based on a guess.
3.when scrolling through apps the dockmenu can close itself this is a bug
4.you should be able to scroll all around the dockmenu so when you get to the end category it scrolls back to the homescreen like you'd expect and vice versa meaning if you scrolling the other side you will enter the dockmenu from the last category rather than first, right now it blinks out rather than scrolling
5.homescreen appdock needs work right now it's pretty limited you can't set any icons or even what the current icons do, it also needs a button to enable or disable it
6.a menu needs to be made for customization of categories
7.homescreen needs the standard pinch menu to get to the launcher settings button, wallpaper button etc
8.launcher needs a general settings section with the following options
enable/disable navigationbar (this simply enables or disables the navigationbar in the current mode and orientation)
enable disable statusbar (this simply enables or disables the stock android statusbar in the current mode and orientation)
enable disable persistent statusbar (this makes it easy or difficult to reveal the statusbar, right now it's difficult and you can't do anything about it)
enable disable persistent navigationbar (this makes it easy or difficult to reveal the navigationbar, right now it's difficult and you can't do anything about it)
9.the launcher should not resize itself depending on dpi all sizes should be available on any device and any dpi, the launcher needs a "dockmenu size" option under dockmenu where the user can set any size that is available through different dpi's, size settings needs to work for the custom statusbar as well, the dock has many more size options through dpi changes rather than the size options in settings so add all these options in settings and prevent it from resizing itself depending on dpi
automatic dpi resizing can be ok if it chooses a setting from the settings menu, just like when windows chooses a resolution thats recommended) the user should be able to have any size they want on any device regardless of dpi, if automatic then it should simply choose a size thats available in the settings.
10.color layer bugs not filling properly and the dock glitching out sometimes where the home icon dissappears and the dot no longer works.
these are the most of whats broken.
full list of whats remaining is below, if anyone wants to help me finish my launcher please let me know.

There is a display setting for "Display Size" with a slider. It's not labeled, but there are 3 settings, small, medium, and large. It changes the size of the icons and icon text. I've had it set at large for a long time, but a few days ago the icons and icon text got smaller. The slider is still all the way to the right, but the size displayed is "medium". I've moved the slider back and forth, and reset the phone, but I still can't get the larger size to display now. The "large" setting shows the same size as "medium". "Small" does make them smaller, though.
Any ideas?
Are you rooted? If so you may have installed something that set the DPI in default.prop. If the DPI is anything other than the default value, the slider doesn't work.
No, not rooted. I did enable developer mode recently, but I'm not sure if that was before or after the problem started. Turning off developer mode didn't help.
What model V20 do you have? Some models have the ability to do finer DPI adjustments in developer mode, so just enabling it may have done it. You need to re-enable it, and scroll through to look for something about scaling.

It's LG-H910. AT&T. I looked through the Developer settings and didn't see anything related to dpi, but thanks for the suggestion.
It's in Settings > System > Developer Options > Drawing > Smallest Width.
Mine was set to 388, but am wondering if I changed it to that value at some point, or if it is the default.
Also, what setting are you using? TIA!
437 is the default

Cool, thanks! I wonder why mine was set so low...
I assume this setting tells apps/sites what your device display resolution should be based on, with regards to the device's aspect ratio? So at 437 wide, and an aspect ratio of 19:10, that would present an effective ~830px display height? Is that how it works?
Update: Browsed over to http://viewportsizes.com/mine/ on my phone set to 437, and it reported a viewport size of 438x702. After bringing in a screenshot to Photoshop and resizing it to 438px wide, the height is 855px (not exactly sure why this number is larger than what I calculated it should be previously), but after deducting Chrome's URL bar, status bar, and navigation toolbar, the height is 702px. So, yeah, I guess that's what the effect of 'smallest width' does!
It's based on the displAy -> advanced -> display size setting.

It's an added feature for Android Pie, you can change it under
Settings > Lock screen > Always On Display > Display mode
You can choose one of three available options, on Android Pie it is "Tap to show" by default.

I'm running Oreo, no Pie for me yet. Official comes in March.
I had there everything set up to be ok. AOD is since Android6 on S7 BTW and there is no problem there.
Now, since the red dot is flashing (low battery) I have the AOD clock, date and % bat. charge always on. But when the battery is let say 40% it all goes to black. I have battery savings settings OFF. Screensaver ON. BTW
