[Q] Changing DPI with Build.prop - automatic reset? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
this is my first post here in this forum and in addition, english is not my native language so please excuse me spelling/grammar mistakes or if this is the wrong forumthread.
I used my HTC One with Elementalx 13.5.1 Kernel & Android Revolution HD 51 Rom and had no problem with it. I was able to change the DPI/PPI (i mean the display density) as i liked. Now i updated to the new ROM A_R_HD 53 and everytime i change the density in the Build.prop from 480 to 400, I reboot the phone and nothings happens
The Build.prop value stays on 480.. although i granted root access to File Manager.
Anyone got a solution?
//Edit: Okay nevermind, i found the solution here
Cheers

[Q] Tablet UI on the Note with ICS

Hi guys I got a question.
My galaxy Note runs ICS with the Team Rocket 1.5v rom.
My question is, can I enable the tablet UI on this rom and how do I do that.
I have seen that it has been done on other roms and I was curious if it was posible with this rom
Thank you and byebye
I don't know about RR1.5, but here is how it's done on AOSP ICS:
- go to Market and download Rom Toolbox (it's free)
- after you start RTB, go to Performance/build.prop tweaks
- you'll see a slider for LCD density there
- set your LCD density at 213 or lower to get tablet mode activated
- press 'yes' when RTB asks you to reboot your phone
That's it.
Well I tried it onTRR 1.5. The status bar at the bottom dnt show up. Dial gets messed up. U cant recieve calls and some more issues i dnt remember so if u want tab mode. Flash AOSP first
Galaxy note
Thanks guys. I will see what I can do.
thanks for this tip. works perfect
but the text and icons are quite small. is there a possibility to increase the text-/icon-size?
especially the text-size
You can modify font size in Settings/Display/Font size.
Ok I tried this, and setup 213. Didn't work atall, and now I have a problem to return my phone to standard 320! Rom toolbox lets me setup 280 at highest.. anyway to get 320 back..?

You need to run an AOSP ROM to enable the tablet UI. It won't work on TW ROM's. To get back to 320 DPI, go to /system/build.prop and change it manually there and reboot.

Use Root Explorer, edit /system/build.prop and change the RO.LCD.DENSITY line to a value of 320, save, reboot.
Thanks mates! Im just too curious to try everything

Dpi Changer And Miui

Hi
When i use Dpi Changer on my Galaxy S on Rom MIUI after reboot is a : MiuiHome Has stopped i mest be reinstall rom ;\
Is it possible to minimize dpi and have a Miui ?
P.S. Sorry for bad English , Im from polish
Hi. I've just installed MIUI on my Defy and had the same problem with DPI.
So... googling I found your post and found several other forums where users are saying that MIUI v4 doesn't support DPI changes anymore. >___<!
Actually, testing with DPI Changer, I've discovered that it does support "stock" DPIs (such as MDPI (160), HDPI (240), etc). But it won't work with custom DPI (such as 200).

Per App Dpi changer ?

Hi
I would like to stick to the rom and dpi im running but could do with a app which i can change separate dpi of certain apps (keyboard mainly)
Just wondered if anyone knew of an app which can do this?
Rom - Viper 2.7.0 with Nova
Kernel - Bulletproof
Tia.
Just install Xposed Framework, and search for a module named App Settings.
With that, you can easily define a specific DPI for each apps, even system apps (like Paranoid Roms)
Enjoy
Ok thanks, ive installed and it dosnt seem to be taking to setting?
Ive changed dpi for the keyboard to 420 and its making no diff?
What am i doing wrong?
Scratch that, think its working now
Thanks for your help.

Google Maps on 800x480 Screen

Folks, I've installed xposed framework and app settings and tried to decrease the application size to fit better on my 800x480 screen with no success...Tried with DPI, font Size and Screen DP...any guide on how to actually decrease the screen size will be appreciated.
Android 4.4.4
Thanks!
I'll second that.
Same problem here. I'm trying to reset Resolution/DPI for some Apps on my Android-Stick MK809III (4.4.2 stock ROM) connected to my F60DAB (=NEX8000). Any changes made in Xposed AppSetting have no effect at all after reboot.
Edit:
Is textdroider-app worth a try as alternative ?
check your logs, they will tell if there is a problem with appsettings, personally i used on my stock 5.0.1 (nexus 5) with no problems, however on the rom im using now(cm12-based rom) it dosen´t work due to cm´s changes

Changing dpi doesn´t work with build.prop method

Hi,
ich have Note4 910f (german version). Latest 6.0.1 stock firmware with Feb. 2017 patch.
I changed the dpi with stock firmware without root long time ago with adb shell wm density ... - that was on 5.1.1. Then i updatet to MM OTA and made all ota updates till yesterday. Then i rooted my device (twrp, SuperSU). Now i wanted to change dpi with textdroider_dpi but that doesn´t work. No change, still the old 520 dpi which i changed a year ago. I looked into build.prop and there was 640 dpi (standard note4).
Then i searched for another app in playstore and found a resolution changer, with this app i can change the dpi (on my now rooted device). But build.prop still is on 640.
???
Is this ok or is there something wrong?
Is there another way to change dpi? Other then build.prop (without xposed)?

Stock roms cannot set dpi to 520 as far as i know.
You can set to 560 or 640 only.
Try "dpi changer root " from playstore it works very well.
