[APP/GUIDE] Per app dpi control for most ROMs using Xposed

I Just thought of posting this where more people could see and use it
How to change dpi of individual apps on almost ANY ROM:
Tested and working on:
Stock ICS ROM (tested on Optithrust, should work on other ICS ROMs like Django, Flexicer etc. too)
CM10 (tested on pengus77's ROM. should work on other cm10/cm10.1 roms too)
Tested and not working on(yet):
MIUIv4
When I tried Jishnu's optithrust (Stock ICS ROM), it worked for changing density of root explorer and nova launcher app. (Take a backup first if you need to)
It is simple.
All steps are easy to do, and 4 out of 5 steps need to be done only once. After that, you can easily change the dpi of any app.
1. Download and install the file(apk) attached here.
(It is an ingenious framework mod developed by rovo89. All credit to him)
2. Open the app and click on "Install/Update" button. Then reboot.
3. Download and install this: http://d-h.st/OTS like a regular app.
Full credit to Tungstwenty and rovo for this great app.
this is the original download link, but it doesn't work at the moment. Rename file extension from zip to apk if you have downloaded from here
(ill remove the mirror as soon as i get come to know that the original one is working again)
4. Now a notification comes in notification bar, open the first app (Xposed Installer) by pressing that notification and in "modules" tab, tick the Xposed App settings (should be the only option) box.
Reboot.
Above steps 1 to 4 need to be done only for the first time
5. Now after rebooting, open "xposed app settings" (2nd app) and select any app from the list, enable its toggle above (there's only one button, you cant miss it ), and set its dpi to whatever you want and save. For best experience, keep the value of dpi between 160 and 240.
Remember, as always, some apps may look weird on low dpi. They were not designed for a lower dpi. For example, when I tried on stock lg launcher, it looks weird, because it is natively designed for 240 dpi, but nova launcher, trebuchet and most other apps should look proper
Thanks to the rovo89 and xposed app settings developer Tungstwenty.
Cheers

will work on miui or not?

Normal dpi is 240, so if you set it to that, things are back to how they were

Damn that's EPIC!
Take my thanks... Take it!!
Btw i want to change the dpi of the status/notification bar on top... SystemUI will do it right?
Oh and tested 100% working on SU660 (Korean) on FlexIcer 4.7

Hi Rugglez....
Is there any method in Xposed to set Overall DPI meaning for UI as well as apps.... I tried to reduce the DPI of "Android System" but the keyboard here gets crazy (Key will be shown at one place but u will have to press it at another place in order to type it ).... I searched and found one "Tablet UI" module but it also doesn't work .....
Thanks

Don't change dpi of android system
As far as I know, in this app, you can change dpi only one by one. For changing dpi of everything, you can set the value in build.prop but dont try that since it messes up app compatibility in play store. But by changing dpi once for required apps like systemUI, launcher, settings etc. you can get a similar experience overall.
Update: @owais40 I think the tablet module existed in the older version, can't find it now. If you are on the older version, try updating to the newest one, link updated in OP a few hours ago. Even the settings app has been updated on that site.
When I changed the screen dp setting for Gmail app to 600x1024, the hybrid (tablet) mode got activated. So you can try that out with apps that you think may have hybrid mode support
Settings app doesn't show split ui though, maybe our device cm version doesn't support.

I have updated both framework and settings apps but the Tablet UI Module doesn't work with that ... Didn't try though for older versions ... So currently I use build.prop method to set my overall DPI and this http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/all-apps-in-play-store.15/viewfile Module to fool the Play Store.... Thanks for all your help ....

Nice!
Xposed is really a handy framework that lets you do so much with innovative modules like these. It deserves much more attention than what it has currently got. Kudos to the developer rovo89
You can also do this:
Set overall dpi in build.prop and in this per-app-dpi settings module you can set play store dpi to 240 (and of course, adjust dpi of any other app specifically too if desired). Expecting that to work too. That way, complete control can be obtained

Maybe rovo would prefer if people edit in the gui of an app rather than make changes in build.prop every time the rom is flashed, and maybe avoid errors people might make in the syntax there too. (although i guess the framework install button may have to be pressed on updating the rom too anyway )

I ran into the same issue yesterday trying to register. Not sure what was happening, so I don't think it was an issue with you...

Hey guys. I recently installed this along with per app dpi settings on my Droid DNA and so far I have been able to change DPI for things like settings etc but when I try to change it for my launcher (trebuchet, nova or apex) nothing happens.
Is there another way I can force DPI on to my Launcher without installing PA

Problem after Loading ML1 Firmware

I am a little confused. I loaded the new ML1 firmware with success. However when I installed novaluancher prime APK and run the launcher I cannot install any of the widgets whether they be clocks or whatever. When I was running the MK7 firmware I did not have any such problem. Is there something that I am doing wrong. I did not upgrade my Gear Manager firmware as I remain on 1.5.123002

Did you install as a system app?

Brendo, In Wondershare I loaded it under the APP category. I do not know if that is a system area or not. I just added it to the rest of the listed apps. Was that not correct. Everytime I try to now load a widget it says Nova Launcher has stopped

hi
if you are not rooted/custom rom..and on stock rom ML1/GM 1.5 ( like i am )
and you load NOVA (@ wondershare )...
Nova , will install ,but you will not be able to access/place any widgets on gear
and yes even if you tried you will get "Nova " force closing..
ask me i tested it a while back to see what happens ..!! !!
also some other functions of Nova will most likely work ,thats it.!!
(if you are on custom rom// or root ... yes ..different story?)
good luck

Have a search here. Probs find it using nova as keyword

Alright everyone I figured it out. I think before loading the new ML1 firmware I reset the watch to stock where it was no longer rooted and no longer had a custom null rom (I believe, remember I am new to this). Anyway, I went back and rooted the device all over after I reloaded the recovery. Then I loaded Null 18 and now my widgets and everything work with the Nova Launcher.
Thanks everyone for trying to assist me and I am on my way to another future mess up---trust me!!!

Cyanogen's official C-Apps zip package brings CyanogenOS apps on cyanogenmod ROMs

This is interesting! Cyanogen released their own install zip, called c-apps, that you can use to drop the proprietary CyanogenOS apps like the themers and the new (hated) dialer on a cyanogenmod ROM. I tested on my sultanxda/caf 12.1 and everything works.
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/introducing-the-cyanogen-apps-package
Many CM community users may be familiar with Cyanogen OS, the certified commercial version that comes preloaded on retail smartphones such as the OnePlus One, WileyFox, ZUK Z1, Andromax Q, and YU branded devices.
Cyanogen OS includes a variety of apps and services that leverage CyanogenMod’s open platform. As CM users, these apps were previously unavailable to you unless you bought a Cyanogen OS powered retail phone. Starting today, we’re announcing the release of the Cyanogen Apps Package (C-Apps).
C-Apps is being offered as an optional download and will not be preinstalled on CyanogenMod releases. This package will allow you to take your existing devices running CM 12.1, and make them more like the Cyanogen OS experience. The latest version of CM 12.1 is required for C-Apps to run properly.
Download and wiki instructions are located at the bottom of this post. The following features are included in the initial C-Apps Package:
Theme Chooser with per-app theming
Theme Store
AudioFX
Cyanogen Accounts
Gallery
Dialer with TrueCaller integration
Email powered by Boxer

Guess it misses that weird browser fork though, so far.
[20.11.2015 edit] And it looks like they removed Boxer from the package at some point, because it's gone now.

copy both folders themechoser and themestore folders from zip and place them in /system/priv-app folder and change permission to rw-r-r

One main app is not included. CameraNext why ?

.zip works great on temasek 18.3 CAF only thing I changed was putting the original dialer back in place after flashing.

Has anyone tried this on CM 13?

Thanks! I'll go ahead a grab the Theme Store apk alone.

after installing this zip package I can't answer the phone and make call! why? what can I do to solve this problem?

Check phone settings and app settings ( Truecaller ) on that package , if you installed full zip it includes Truecaller / dialer on it , did it replace your original phone / dialer apps or does it give you option to pick your default phone / dialer apps? I would reboot and check settingsr and in privacy guard on new app Truecaller and go from there, again not familar with True caller but since its replacing original app , reboot , check all settings applicable ,default and privacy guard as well, may have to alter permissions on new app . Good Luck !!

Already had a thread on this in Q&A, my friend

is the email client the full client like in the CM rom
if yes, how can i install only the email client ?

Does it work with cm13?

Looks like the package doesn't carry Boxer the e-mail client anymore.

that was the only reason why I flashed it... and they removed it... how nice.

Does anyone have an older version with Boxer included? I had a zip with just boxer from another thread in XDA but I can't remember where!

i got bootloop after flashing the package
just want the theme apps
anyone got the same problem with me??
NB:
1. I've flashing the universal them but it has no theme store
2. Already install (also manual push) theme store but wont open (did i miss something??)

AOSP apps remover v1.2 | Android 7.x | 11/08/16

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices or other issues.
For all of you who likes clean ROM and hate duplication between system and user apps folders this tool will help. This will remove all defaults AOSP apps except launcher and keyboard. I suggest after removing to install pico version of gapps or all of this will not make much sense. Also boot animation will be gone, trim it to the bone
For everything else you may need use Play Store. This way upgrading existing apps will not make any duplicates.
Please don't hesitate to post if you like to see some more apps to be included in this remover.
V1.2 11/08/16
Added Development app

Thanks! It would be great to see this in an AROMA format where the user could select which apps to remove.

thank you so much , i was looking for this i hate aosp/cm ****ty apps alaways replace it with google apps

I've noticed this too on my Nexus 6 regardless of ROM- Google Camera does not show up in the PlayStore. Like others have mentioned if you sideload the apk from somewhere like apkmirror it will work. Alternatively you can try clicking on this direct link from your Nexus 6 and it should hopefully take you to the play store with google camera displayed- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

I ran this while doing a clean install of Pure Nexus. Zips flashed in TWRP in this order: 1) Pure Nexus, 2) Full GAPPS (linked from Pure Nexus), 3) B14CKB1RD kernel, 4) phh's superuser, 4) 320 dpi, 5) AOSP apps remover. Google camera was available on first boot. ?
Two possible AOSP app oversights: AOSP keyboard (risky, I get it), and AOSP spell check (part of keyboard app?).
No problems experienced after booting into ROM and getting everything setup to taste. This is now a go-to/must have flash for me. Thanks!

How did you drop your DPI to 320? Was it on N? I've tried changing DPI in build.prop and using apps but nothing worked.

Yeah, on 7.1.1 right now. The Pure Nexus FAQ clued me into these flashables. Adjusting the display size may confuse the DPI change, but a reflash of the DPI zip fixed it for me in 7.0 (and I haven't messed with it in 7.1.1).

why can't I see who is calling me? It's only shows missed calls; awesome zip file (my device is a Moto Maxx, similar to N6) but only this problem that bothers me

Go into settings/apps then click on the cog in upper right corner. Now set your current diaper app as default for phone. This should fix your problem.

any chances to do a flashable zip that could work in all devices?

You can use aroma Gapps package. That lets you choose which Gapp you want and which one you don't. It also lets you rrmove any cm apps you don't like.

To install the Pixel launcher I just downloaded the APK file, used ES File Explorer to copy the file and pasted it into the system-app location, installed and rebooted. It even has the Google now right swipe. Easy-peasy.

There are serveral ways to install a app as sytem app like with system mover or just by file explorer as written before. Just don´t use that piece of malware.
Btw,if you use substratum themes they won´t work if Lucky Patcher is installed.

I want to only use google assistant in my moto g2 which gapp should i download ?
