firstly tell do you have root
if so then go to /system there you will find a build.prop named file open it with the help of any text editor which supports root
then search for the line something like ro.sf.lcd_density and change the number according to your liking

Ok! Thank you mister..^^ I see but If I can change the ro.sf.lcd_density from 120 to 110 it is work? Or Boot loop? I’m doubt and afraid to change..^^

it depends, if you do it correctly no bootloops will happen
but it is always good to have clockworkmod recovery and a nandroid backup

Using this theme chooser mod you won't need to change dpi and reboot, just select whatever theme you want to set... but well I'm glad you found the solution

This is info from the other thread:
kgs1992 said:
Sorry for the OT:
If you do want to change your navbar icons, you can use this:
SoftKeyZ ★ root - Janis Elfert
Ensure you make a full backup or that you have the necessary experience to recover from any potential issues that may come up after using the app.
Sometimes it causes a boot loop or your navbar may disappear.
Most of the times, it is solely because permissions are incorretly set for SystemUI.apk, set it to 644(-rwxr--r--) if that happens.
Let's move this to the thread you previously created to avoid going off topic here.

If something does go wrong and your phone doesn't reboot, reflash your backup.
If the navbar disappears, use a root explorer to set permissions on /system/app/SystemUI.apk
The permissions are:
user - rw
group - r
other - r

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz
Works on 4.2.2??

What I mean is every time I modify the permission it gives me error

Yes. You however need to flash one of these to fix the back key being smaller than the rest.
This will reduce your navbar size though and you will have to flash the camera fix to enable the "picture effect" in camera.

This probably means system is not mounted as writable.

Does changing the density from the beginning from 160 to 159 instead of 150 and following the same steps work? without going through the wiping and re-flashing?

You have to set the dpi density to 140, then reboot - set the theme - turn the dpi density back to 160 - reboot again

Well, I always set the dpi to 140, rebooted, set the theme, rebooted and then set it back to 160
Normally it should work

Search the cm10 thread for the theme fix. You have to flash that in recovery.

may i ask how you change the dpi density?,is there an app on google play for this
thanks

Yes, there is, but they doesn't work for me, so I used es explorer then I went to /system and opened build.prop with an editor and looked for
# density in DPI of the LCD of this board. This is used to scale the UI
# appropriately. If this property is not defined, the default value is 160 dpi.
ro.sf.lcd_density = 160

You can also use rom toolbox and open the build editor (it's easier than the first method and it works)

thanks for reply.i am running cm 10.1,i have file mngr but not es explorer and for the life of me i cannot locate /system.
i would guess that only pro version of rom toolbox has the ability to change dpi?

I can't locate / folder too with cm file explorer, so I downloaded es file explorer. I don't know if the build editor works only on pro version of rom toolbox (I have the pro version, of course).
For open / folder you have to open es menu, then select "Local" and then tap / icon. Es will ask you for root, then open system folder and look for build.prop file and edit it.

Well I use the BuildProp Editor from the PlayStore to change the dpi
