Anyone changed DPI yet? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Anyone managed to change DPI? Are you root/non root? S8 or S8+

Yeah. Rooted. Makes the phone (S8) much better.

I changed my DPI in developer settings due to not having root. No issues at 500

Ahhh great, cheers guys!

I set mine to 550, I feel that's the sweet spot for me (developer settings)

Excuse my stupidity but what is the difference between dpi under developer options and changing the zoom/text size under screen zoom and text in Display menu?

There is no difference only that some people aren't satisfied with how small/big you can make things so they achieve that by changing the dpi. Also changing the dpi makes everything smaller or bigger not just the writing. So it's like standard view vs condensed (I'm not even sure it's in the galaxy s8, I didn't even bother looking since I know the condensed is still too big for my taste)

I think it is the app's issue. You can't fix it unless you change back to the original dpi or update to the newer firmware (hope new phone app will fix this issue)
Use app settings xposed module and change the app dpi back to 480. Hope this helps
Flash Tkari V2.0 rom and you will have full 320 Dpi rom

Changed it to 480, restart the phone. Still the same result.

[Q] Change 'power saving' icon?

Hi there;
I have a SM-G900F Samsung Galaxy S5. I love the 'power saving' feature because it lets me put the screen into a greyscale mode.
It also means, however, that I have this ghastly icon on my screen all the time.

}
Is there any [relatively] easy way I can change these icons?
I tried searching but I can't think of any more descriptive search query than "change screen icons" which could mean loads of different things.
I'd love it if it was just a tiny PNG I could find with Solid-Explorer and change it over with one of my own.
Any ideas?
Cheers;

the power saving icon is in the SystemUI.apk, so unless you edit that, there is no way.

Change the settings menu layout to "List"

Well, today I discovered that you can change the stupid tabbed Settings layout to a more natural list with sections.

Thanks for making sure. I just dont understand why make the tabs at all. The list is much easier and more logical system to navigate and use. Samsung did the same thing and I hated it. Thankfully LG allows you to change it to list.

I too have the same size but once i saw that space bar got reduced even further.I don't remember how I bought it back to the original size that you are showing but i think its good enough size.Try changing to google keyboard by downloading it and setting up that as input rather than Samsung Keyboard as input which is what you are using now.

Toast message badly aligned under DQD2

Hello,
Message in toast notification are not correctly aligned (vertically and horizontally). Could you confirm that I am not the only one? ROM : G935FXXU1DQD2_DevBase_v4.1
Maybe linked to ROM or maybe Samsung bug?
Any advice is welcome.
Thx

Are you root?
If you're change this line/value in build.prop
from
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=640
This fix mine.

Thx a lot NonXtreme, issue solved!
Thank you so much for this.
Annoying issue. Fixed!
Any fix for us non-rooties?

Toast notifications aligning incorrectly since Nougat update on my Samsung S7, can confirm a firmware issue not previously present on a non-rooted device. Spoken with Samsung support who have placed this on their patch list.
I confirm the problem also after the recent update on my Galaxy S7 Edge, seems like a firmware issue.

change your screen resolution to 1080p, text and display zoom to normal, then reboot your phone. after reboot, restore your display settings and voila. everything goes back to normal.
