Anyone find a way to change the dpi of Google's new 4.4 kit kat launcher?
I tried changing the dpi of the launcher's app with no success. Also trying to change the dpi of the app drawer.
I was able to change novas dpi easily but this new launcher isn't quite as easy to change.

I'm interested in this as well now that I have a stable 4.4 running on my N4 but I suppose we should be patient. I know the crew at PA are working feverishly...
Pretty easy actually. First download app settings for xposed, then scroll down to google search and click dpi, then change to what you want

That's actually how I changed the dpi on Nova. Unfortunately, This method does NOT work with this launcher. Any other ideas?

These are my settings, but No matter what I change the dpi to, it doesn't change.

This works! !! Thank you, that was driving me crazy. I first tried changing the launcher settings and as everyone knows that doesn't work, then I tried changing the screen density in the build prop and that screws everything up. This worked!

When did this come out for our device?
400 dpi worked pretty good except the app drawer button was off center to the left.

You can change the dpi with Rom Toolbox Pro also.

The problem is..my Trebuchet launcher is perfect. But the icons on the N5 launcher are big and hideous. Even the App Drawer looks ugly compared to Trebuchet. Any help with this..? Thanks!

How stable is the launcher for you? I was getting FC on Hangouts and Search everytime I tried to use it. is MMS working in the Hangouts App?
If yes, any thread you can link us to that shows the stable version and install instructions for this?

For the google search fc you just need the place this lib in, system/lib. Dont change permissions. Of course extract first.

The only way you can upgrade to the kit kat on a att is to be rooted. They have not rolled out the unrooted way.:crying: The knox notification is driving me nuts.

I've tried almost all of the ics roms and different launchers. For some reason my widgets will intermittently stop refreshing.
Does anyone have this problem.
I've tried apex, nova, go etc..
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
It happens sometimes. But I use nova launcher so I can just restart the launcher if the widgets stop.

Hello everyone,
I've signed up for the beta a few weeks ago and I had the good surprise to receive my code yesterday.
I launched the app but what a disappointment when I realized there wasn't any theme displayed in the app.
After some research it seems linked to dpi or resolution of screen. I tried to change the dpi but no luck.
So did anybody find the good combination to display themes on our razr i?

you could use nova launcher, it has settings for how many columns and rows you want
I tried nova but it couldn't make folders. I wanted 5 icons across.

should be able to make folders just by dragging an app on top of another app. should also be able to configure it to have 5 icons across under desktop > desktop grid
I'll give it another try. .thanks.

NOVA is the bomb. Thats one of the first things I install when I get a new phone. That along with WidgetLocker, which is buggy on the Note 3 unfortunately.
But yeah, you can set up the home screens however you want with Nova.

Check the T-Mobile side:
[MOD] SecLauncher Modifications | For Galaxy Note 3
I copied over the 5x5 version and it works well, aside from the Touchwiz widgets. Backup the original version and the odex file, then remove both and copy over the new version, then set permissions (644). You may want to set another launcher as the default beforehand in case anything goes wrong.

Too big.
I have someone working on one for me. 5x6 homescreen with a 6x6 app drawer.
I just don't know how to set up the dip values in dimens.xml in for the note 3 (I'm not a developer or anything)
This is for the note 2 but could be used as good reference I guess.

the apk you need to decompile is Seclauncher4.
Yes and yes. On a side note, I actually switched launchers to Nova launcher. Personally I'm not missing anything from the touchwiz launcher.

Yes on the home setting in display i think if not use nova launcher >.- nova launcher is obviously the best free launcher and you can resize icons and more with it. I use nova launcher for effects. >.-
Nova launcher is best fir this purpose....while u might also have to change your dpi to make your icons smaller

Looks a little better i guess.. i used 320 dpi. For some reason my screen started lagging tho. I still havent found a good setting. You can check your resolution with rescheck from the play store to confirm that its changed to 1080p.
Sent from my LG-D959 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
hold onto the icon and there is a brush that pops up on the corner and you can change the size from 2x2 to 1x1. It makes them smaller like on the G2.
Wait.... Our screens are 720p but we can make them 1080p just by an app?

thanks. I tried that NOONE resolution changer but it didnt work
im not rooted but the app said root is only need for android 4.3 and higher
i thought screen resolution was a hardware thing,didnt know software could change that
I changed the lcd density using the prop editor and I made everything too small and took me and hour to get it fixed because even a factory reset wouldnt change it back. does anybody know the safest and best value?

If you have rooted phone then install DENSITY CHANGER app from play store. It's easy to use and safe.

I recommend TextDroider_DPI (available in the Play Store) and I am currently using 380. I might bump down to 360, but this is a good medium.
