Everything on this phone looks too big! Which makes having such a high resolution plain stupid. Is there any ROM that supports custom DPI that doesn't break apps and stuff?
Thank you!

To answer my own question:
Custom ROM is needed that supports writing to /system. After that changing lcd density value in /system/build.prop will change dpi system wide! However HTC sense is NOT elastic so it won't fill out the extra screen space. Xposed framework and appsetting module is needed to put htc sense back to original 480 dpi.
Most (if not all) nonhtc apps are elastic so no problem there.
I use very high res for chrome for example (320). Screen on this phone is stunning so you can really be comfortable even at 320 dpi.

Hi,
Me and a couple of friends building a ROM now.
We want everything in the ROM to be small and it will look like the resolution is high, like in the SlimRom.
How can we do it?
Thanks everybody!
Try to resize graphics from every system apk... Should work.
In res/drawable something like that

Right!:laugh:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot seem to find a way to change the home screen grid size. Is there a way to do it on this phone using ARHD? Would love to squeeze out a bit more real estate.

Haven't seen a way to change it. I think there was a mod in the themes and apps section that did this though. Might have to dig a bit for it though.

I have searched on here (and searching on Google is a pain, if i wanted HTC One X results i would have typed the X into the search!!) and i cant seem to find anything....
On Samsung S3 and Note 2, to change the DPI, it was a simple case of using Rom Toolbox to change the build.prop file to a different DPI (240 was the way to go) and after a reboot, there it was. Opened challenges with certain Touchwiz items, but in general it worked great.
How do we do something similar on the One? I had a brief flirtation with Slim ROM (very brief as i couldn't get touchscreen to work), but it had a better DPI and looked slick. Sense 5 on the same DPi would be just perfect for me.
Thanks

If you use Venom rom, it has built in setting in tweaks..

Tried the 'Xposed App Settings' mod? It can set DPI per app and works like a charm...

This mod is great, but I'm curious how to do it system wide

System wide won't work on the one. I tried it and it did nothing.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, I'm on my phone and have no way to see rules or anything like that. Anyway, I would like to use miui on my Galaxy S3, however MIUI is 320 DPI by default (ridiculous) and changing the LCD density totally breaks the UI. In order to be able to enjoy using my phone I need to have at least 240 DPI. Are there any themes compatible with the decreased DPI?

Has anyone tried changing their dpi? The stock is a little big for me

Stock is a lot big. I run AOSP all the time. So I've changed mine to 410. Looks so much better.
Use 440 myself, on XDABBEB's ROM. Stock is 480.
I use texdroider dpi changer and have mine set about 400. Some things look weird like the camera but I like a smaller DPI
