Factory data reset doesn't help. You have to reflash stock rom to get default DPI.
But how you've changed it to 240 without root? Try to use the same method you've used.

There are apps to change the DPI, however they require root.

I heard that kingroot gives you temp root so try that and then change your dpi

Find pc ( 5 min ) and use adb again to go back to stock?

Factory reset will work. Otherwise you could type "wm density reset" in adb shell to return the density back to stock.

lcd density now won't reboot

i downloaded lcd density, everyone suggested to set to 200, so i set that, and now when i reboot i get the motorola logo then just a black screen...... any ideas?
Time to sbf
Did you do a backup first? If so, go to recovery. If not...
Changing your screen density is not going to stop the phone from booting up. I'm guessing you either edited the build.prop wrong, or installed it wrong.
Did you use the LCD Density app or build.prop? Dont use the app. Its known to be problematic on DRoidX.
Try wiping cache and/or dalvik cache and see what happens. Good luck

[Q] How to "unjailbreak"?

Is there a way to unjailbreak my phone? And if so, how?
I have tried doing a reset from the settings, but it reset to a default jailbreak

[Q] Can't boot after changing DPI

I installed this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro&hl=da
It said that my density is 420(? cant remember precise) but i changed it anyway to 240 as my friend (with a note 2) changed it to that.
I pressed save to reboot. but it wont start anymore.
Whan can i do?
I am rooted and have touch recovery.
Maybe i could mount /system from recovery and change it manually. What do you recommend changing it to.
EDIT: Okay, i've tried my own suggestion. Went to TWRP and mounted /system. pulled build.prop and changed the density to 380. Pushed it in again and restarted. That didnt help.
Now i've downloaded the poweruser rom, took the build.prop and pushed it into the device. That still didn't fix it.
EDIT2: I noticed a build.prop.bak which gotta be my original build.prop that lcd density modder made. i removed my build.prop and renamed build.prop.bak to build.prop.
Restarted. but it still doesn't work !? Even deleted cache and dalvik cache. doesnt work??
stock dpi is 480 btw

Lcd density

Ok need help, im an idiot for not making the backup before I did something. But I used Rom Toolbox to change the LCD Density from 480 to 380 just to see what it looked like. When I change it back to 480 my icons and widgets are huge, I dont know what to do to fix it
I think if someone could just give me a back up of the build.prop tweaks I could just restore it from that. Please someone
Reboot couple of times

not a real big deal. so you don't have a back up, but your phone isn't brick and you must be rooted if you're using rom toolbox. Did you flash a custom recovery already? If you did, then just download a custom rom to your computer, and drop the zip on the root of your sdcard. then wipe everything and flash it; Unless your worried about loosing some data on some apps, but that is a small price to pay for not backing up.

Problem with large icons

It is only swift related? Try erasing app's cache...
If you hold the phone at arm's length do the icons appear smaller?

I was having a little fun at your expense. Sorry about that. Consider it in honor of Ken M, the master troll.
More seriously...any chance any of the Accessibility settings have changed? When did this first show up?

Here it seems alright to me. If you want to make everything look smaller on your phone you could try changing DPI; You'll need ROOT for that.

The icons next to chainfire's name is way to big
Did you change your screen size in terminal?
Otherwise dirty flash a stock rom over your current rom. And flash SuperSU and Xposed (if you need it)
Would solve the issue.

Just download latest version for your variant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-stock-x1572-1575-5-1-1-lph23-116-18-t3229355
I recommend deodex version over the odexed.
Then boot into recovery.
Flash the stock rom zip. Flash SuperSU update package + Xposed if you want.
Wipe cache/dalvik cache.
Then you should be almost stock like. If you want to change DPI safely next time. Use this app.
