I also noticed the same thing after the latest update. I searched on XDA and found a link to an older Chrome APK from last month and installed it. Now Chrome works great, I just have to remember not to update it until someone finds an actual fix for the DPI issue.

not yet

Can someone provide a link to the previous most recent version?
I had to revert to a 0.16 version and current is 0.18 so I think I missed some.

Could you share the apk for the 0.16 version ? I have the same issue with the DPI, so until it is fixed, that would help me a lot !
Thanks.

anyone tried a newer version of chrome yet?

(Q) phone dpi

How can i make the phone run 145 or 140 dpi without phone apps fc? Any help would be great as you may get a rom release by me

I don't think this is possible.

Hmm i thought there would be a way to edit the apk to run those dpi's

Ive seen a rom running on a higher dpi so it IS possible.

One that works with our Ace (at least on CM7 vo-1 based ROMs) is LCD Density Modder

Try to set it in:
ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop
I change mine using ROM toolbox pro.
Let me know if this worked
= ====== =
Edit:
I have been running at 140 since I posted and haven't noticed any difference at all

You need somethink like root explorer to get into your system folder, copy build.prop to your sdcard, open it up at your computer and then search for this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=[Your density]
For MDPI on 3,5" is 160 normal, but for you it may be like this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=150
or
ro.sf.lcd_density=145
Copy the saved file back to sd-card, do a backup of the old one, and put the ney one into the /system folder
Let me know if it helped

ok will try, but wouldnt that still make the phone and dialertab fc

I'm still on 140 and not one fc

i changed it in build prop and still FC

When I used to use 140 DPI I actually had no problem with FC's, maybe I just never ran into such app that would FC because of the change of DPI.
However, I used the app "LCD Density" to change my DPI, it should probably have the same effect as manually modifying the script but you could give it a shot.

yeah well iv been trying to change it different ways, but im not sure if it can be done on stock rom

can you do it or not? Which apps force close? Why bother with stock ROM? It sucks!
I'm still running at 140 and can't see any difference graphically but it feels like my battery its lasting longer and the ui is more responsive. Might be a placebo.

[Q] 'Device not compatible' gapps issue with new ROM (Slimbean)

Hi folks.
I would appreciate a little help with a problem I have.
I rooted and installed Slimbean (240 dpi)? plus formula84 gapps from the stock T Mobile junk. I have an odd issue when checking 'my apps' within google play which says 'Your device isn't compatible with this version.
I have tried to clear the application cache/data for play within settings and restarting.
Also, the camera seems to keep looking for external storage which is a little odd?
I would appreciate any advice immensely.
Cheers all.

Forgot to mention, Ive changed the dpi manually to 240 and ran through the general UI instructions after changing the DPI but still get the problem. Boo!

Had the same problem on first build of slimbean as well. I had to repeat the steps involving changing the DPI several times before I had success with play. The latest build of slimbean should already have DPI set to 240 and since that build ,I never had a problem. I never messed with DPI on latest build.

Thanks for replying. I thought I had the latest version. After a few goes of the same process you mentioned I managed to sort it.

Yeah, it can be a pain to get working properly. The only mirror for the 240DPI build isn't working, so the other 2 links are for the 182DPI version. Otherwise, they are exactly the same. Before flashing, you could edit the build.prop to reflect the change, and it'll make it easier for the Play Store to work right off the bat.

Never edited build prop before but I guess I could look into it just so I know how for future reference. I'm sure its simple. Probly just open the build.prop and find where the DPI numbers are and change them?

That is exactly how to do it, or just use ROM toolbox, there is a section for build prop edits, or you can do it before you even flash the ROM. In build prop you can also edit some stuff to get an amazing benchmark, but no help to the actual performance, so kinda useless( its something with frame rates)

Ingress DPI

What dpi should I my phone from build.prop . They recommend 480x800

Try setting 80, but games are usually unaffected by build.prop changes. So maybe it will work, maybe it won't.

Didn't work . You're right it doesn't work in games. Any ideea to make it work on our device?

PA ROM or PAC ROM will do the job...I never tested myself though but people do claim it works.

in PA or PAc, it works...i was allways set up Swype to be smaller, and it works...but not using it until they change the base, 3 months without update

tried that but the rom is unstable for me . Any app that could act like paranoid ?

Yeah there's one
Firstly install xposed installer
And then install xposed app settings
With The help of xposed app settings you can change dpi per app basis
But I don't know if it will run the game fine
And google for the apps

Changing Resolution

Hey there guys!
The other day i bought my n5 and i am :laugh: all day
But as a battery maniac as i am i tried to change the resolution and ended in a dead phone. (just booted up, got to lockscreen and only displayed wallpaper)
Got to fix it by adb sideloading deodex rom
I tried using "NoMone Resolution Changer" as i used to do with my lg g2 but it wasn't working, and i tried "Resolution Changer Pro, from nexter" and got my phone dead.
Anyone tried this already? Would like to try my n5 on 1080p a few days and couldn't.
Thanks.

Up!

Assuming you have rooted (if you haven't then you can't change the DPI), why don't you just try installing Dr Ketan's Rom and Arter kernel. You can change DPI in the ROM.

Not true! You can change DPI through adb without root!

I have rooted and have arter kernel and ketans ROM, but i want to change RESOLUTION not dpi.
Thanks.

Both can be done via adb: resolution and density

I have been using the note 7 roms which let you choose from 720 1080 and 1440.
I don't think changing resolution works on reg note 5 roms. DPI works fine (515 is best imo) but not resolution.
I haven't tried adb to change reso so maybe that works but I dunno
