I was running a Feb release of the unofficial CM11 and I changed the DPI to 240. Worked great. I just did a dirty flash up to cm-11-20140714-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo.zip (clear cache, davlik) and everything worked fine except the resolution is at dpi=182. I've edited the build.prop to have ro.sf.lcd_density=240 but after a reboot, it is still at the native (182) resolution. I've also tried an app to change the resolution but all it does it edit build.prop and has the same problem. I'm using the Nova launcher if that is relevant. Any ideas?
Thanks
**Solved**
Nevermind, I got 240 and 182 backwards -- I wanted 182 not 240 but kept setting to 240 and expecting different behavior. Sorry for the noise.

Hi everyone,
Today I was surprising that I flahed the rom called "[ROM][ICS][07Mar] Miui 4 Note ♪ @ Pre.Beta [V7]". Everything was fine till I download the "DPI Changer" app and change the DPI from 320 to 240. I got an alert message say that I was success to update!
So... when I reboot the phone I can see the module number and text afterward is black screen...
Is that mean the ROM doesn't support 240dpi yet?
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.
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
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
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)?

Click to expand...

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.
