OK to start I am not a fan of the stock dpi of any of my phones (I feel they make everything too big).
Coming from a note 3 I pretty much know which apps to keep at stock dpi so the app doesn't break or look weird and found a few more for the note 4. But this time around a few got me scratching my head.
I changed my android system and system ui DPI to 320 using app settings from xposed
Corrected the apps that need to run at 640
Everything's great except
- recent apps when you press the button, dpi stays small.
Anyone have an idea of what apps I might have missed changing back to stock?
made thread for it

- lockscreen when I have the fingerprint reader on; the phone, camera and arrow doesn't line up correctly however when it's on swipe only the camera lines up correctly.

I posted this in a different dpi thread, but for the lockscreen, change keyguard back to 640. You'll need to do a full reboot for it to take effect (app settings killing app doesn't work). I also set it to include widgets in the app settings screen but I'm too lazy to check if that's needed or not.
No idea about recent apps.

Odd - I just double checked the settings I have for com.android.keyguard in App Settings and the only changes I made are:
- DPI: 640
- Checked the 'Apply res to widgets' box
It didn't change on killing app but did work after a full reboot. My lockscreen with fingerprint on looks perfect with lcd_density in build.prop set to 480.
I changed the dpi of the phone to 480 and modified the problem apps back to 640. So far everything looks good except the popup for symbols on the keyboard (the window that pops up when you press and hold a key on the keyboard). Keyboard was set to 640. Anyone know what I need to change to correct this?

i missed checking apply res to widgets lol. didnt even notice and have forgotten before without problems.
Thanks, 480 worked for me! I'll probably end up switching to swiftkey in the future, but for now I'm trying to determine how important the floating keyboard is for me

no problem,
its why i kept it in the past put i got over it after i switched but its easy to switch back when you need it. when your in the text field and the keyboard pops up just pull down your notification bar (which i have programmed as a home swipe up) and click 'choose input method' and switch at will. just make sure you have the keyboards in question active.
any updates on the fix for recent apps? everything looks good on my phone at 420 DPI except the recent apps - not sure which app to reset to 640 dpi

I like my Galaxy Tab P1C!
My current issue is that I don't like the Softkeys!
I have googled quite a few times looking for a guide to disable them, but have turned up empty handed so far...
If its easier to go from Tablet UI to Phone UI (WITHOUT CHANGING THE DPI), and someone knows how its done or can provide the files needed or even teach how its done, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Go to setting/rom control/power menu option and enable navigation bar toggle.then press power button and disable navugation bar.

Thanks for the info, but I already knew how to do that...
As I said, I want the phone UI, WITHOUT changing the DPI...
Appreciate the thought anyway
If you change the dpi to 161 I think you will have the phone UI with nearly the same dpi, but you will have play store incompatiblity.
This is just a suggestion I never used CM, I have aokp installed in my tab.

Ill try 161, I generally stick to the standard 160/240/320 for tablet/phone/hi-rez
I also use GMarket v3.4.7 modified for DPI and no-update, so the only issue I can see happening is if an app self-checks the DPI
Why do I want the PhoneUI you ask? Read the OP...
i'm runing cm10 on my 8.9 tab i don't want the tablet UI i want it to be like the nexus 7

Hi,
I want to change the screen resolution of notifications to a less larger screen so more text will fit on the screen.
I'm on NULL_23 and have Xposed App Settings installed.
I tried changing the "messages" to different dpi setting, but it stays the same.
Anyone know how I need to set the dpi settings ?
EDIT : Never mind, I was on the correct path with the Xposed App Settings but ofcourse I need to enable the module otherwise it won't work
I changed my DPI systemwide to 560. The dialer, lockscreen and camera become off set. So I downloaded app settings through xposed and changed dialer and camera DPI back to 640 and solved the off set issue. However I can't find the actual file/app name for the lockscreen. There's 100s of system files/apps to choose from. Does anyone know what the actual lockscreen is called. For example com.android.security or something like that. If anyone knows it would be great. I don't want to edit 300 systems apps one by one until I fix my lockscreen. I've tried apps simular to security but nothing changes my lockscreen DPI back to 640.
It should be keyguard if memory serves me right
That was like the second or third one i tried. Didnt fix it

RESOLVED: Found another thread that talks about this and has the fix --> Make sure that "Apply res to widgets" is CHECKED in com.android.keyguard along with DPI 640 AND reboot. There is only one entry and not two. It is com.android.keyguard. See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...anging-note-4-dpi-settings-to-change-t2923408
Hi budco2000, I am having the same problem as you on the lockscreen once I changed my system wide DPI.
Using Xposed's App Settings, I can only find one entry of keyguard (com.android.keyguard) and not the second one like you mentioned. I tried different keywords like "key", "guard", "pin", "lock" and still not able to find the second keygurad entry. So, my lockscreen's PIN pad is still not aligned.
Can you please tell me what's the second entry you are referring to, please? I am using the same T-Mobile's Note 4 on AT&T
Thanks

Apply res to widgets!
This is very simple! Turning on certain, if not all, apps that require Accessibility causes notification draw lag.
I thought it was installing too many apps but I was wrong. Granting certain apps Accessibility causes lag.
Disabling the app or apps in Accessibility should make your notification area move smooth again.
For example sake, take a look at the pic below. If I had "Chrooma Keyboard Picker Service" turned on I would be getting the lag. But since I turned it off I'm lag free.
Hope this helps!
I had to uninstall lux dash auto brightness for this. Pretty sure it had accessibility services enabled too. Anyone else notice any problem apps?

I'm using LastPass app to store passwords and fill in them when needed using a fingerprint. It requires accessibility toggle to be on in order for the notification to float.

@Xennet you can ask me anything here.
But I wanna find out about changing the font
I just found out something while playing with fonts. U can hav 2 diff fonts in ur system ui...
In oneplus 3t...
One type of group of font is system wide for keyboard, settings (except the main group headings in settings) and in every other places
The other group of font is used in status bar, in settings in the main headings and in main headings in apps...
To do this u need to change two group of font files in t directory system/fonts.
The first font group i mentioned is droid sans.ttf and droid sans bold.ttf
The second font group is roboto regular, roboto medium, and roboto bold ttf.
(Replace all the fonts in t first and second grup, just replacing 1 font will not do t trick.)
For replacing t fonts just use any of ur favourite font file in ttf format (dont use otf format fonts) rename it exactly as the font to be replaced and most importantly after replacing t font give permission to the file as rw- r-- r-- and reboot.
By using fonster and other font changing apps u can only have one font system wide. But using this method u get 2 diff fonts in t system at the same time. Just play around :laugh:

Absolutely worked for me. LastPass app was the culprit. Unfortunately this breaks LastPass quite severely so I hope a fix is still in the works. I am going to the main site to see if there is a bug report.

Very nice. Are you running 7.1.1 now?
How do you change the dpi on this device?
I've tried the minimum width in developer options, but it does nothing with nav bar, quick icons and the home screen generally.
Even tried with arb but still the same result. It's like having an old iPhone with this home screen. It's way to big...
Anyone have a solution for the this?

In Nova you can adjust the padding width and height and also change the icons size and the whole desktop grid size. What else do you need?

Looks like more an issue with the system size itself, notification tray etc which doesn't seem to resize when choosing a different view size in the settings.
Anyone tried changing the dpi with an app that need root access? I mean root the phone and then change the dpi.

Anyone who can confirm this is a problem on emui 8.0, I didn't have the chance to check it because I just got my phone and updated right away to 8.1
Did anyone try changing the dpi after rooting the phone? With an app maybe that require root access?
Go to devolves options and you can change DPI
Works with all Android

^^ yes. I changed the DPI in developer options. Running 449 and much better than the huge icons and text layout that comes stock.
I did that and it doesn't change the entire system, it only changes the settings and keyboard, not everything.

In Settings, Display, View mode, you can set the slider to 'Small' rather than Default or Large, and that may do what you want.
Was going to buy a p20 pro, but if the smallest width setting is different to stock, then it is now crossed off my list
Can change, but the home screen, most of the apps, quick launch won't change... In my phone all that changes is keyboard "SwiftKey" and settings.. Nothing else...
In display settings the view mode settings changes the dpi. Use a smaller setting to increase dpi and vise versa.

Wow .. that is surprising and very disappointing. I really need 600dp "smallest width" setting to setup my phone. Thanks for replying. Will not be buying a P20 Pro
If you change the view mode you automatically changing the way apps display their content. Larger dpi = smaller content = more things on screen. It's an easy change throught menu.

I need 600dpi to set my phone in tablet mode ... for example, gmail app will display differently and chrome will have small tabs at the top of the windows like on the desktop version. Can this be done with the P20 Pro without rooting?
Is there some way when changing DPI the "notification bar" (on top of the phone) stays intact? Because the Notch is owerlaping the screan. So Notch is in the way.
