Default DPI - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering what the default is on stock sony firmware as I have installed but everything looks too big.
Checked build.prop and is set to 480.

480 is default change to 440 or 420 for a better view

i changed it to 338 which lets me have a phablet in the costume of a phone !!

480 - Z1
412 - Z2/3
360 - Z Ultra
That's all I know hope this helps. 388 is too small for my 13 year old hands.
Also I'm 13 if you are wondering

What would be the setting to have calendar and gmail appear in tablet mode?

You have to edit build.prop file in system folder
Is it possible to change size of the icons? (stock ROM, stock launcher)

use a root browser , go into /system/build.prop and edit the value of line below from 480 to whatever you like:
Code:
[B]ro.sf.lcd_density=480[/B]

It will give you more viewing area like in webpages but it also makes the text small. And also, maybe some apps may not work properly. I personally prefer the default 320 dpi.

What's 240 DPI? Dots per inch..? how can a rom add that?

Think of it like changing your screen resolution. higher res more icons fit on the screen. lower res bigger icons less desktop space.
Understand now? Good.
Here is what I need. Thank you

[MOD] CM10.1 Navigation Bar Height

Hey Guys,
Can't really seem to find any topics on this, I like my navigation bar at 36px running DPI of 320.
I decompiled / recompiled framework-res.apk for cm-10.1-20130609-NIGHTLY and named the zip accordingly and made a flashable CWM zip.
I'm not sure if it will work on newer builds or not though, but is working fine on currently nightly.
Warning: Backup your current /system/framework/framework-res.apk just in case something does go wrong.
Update: Added them to Google Drive (stock 48px and 36px) link is here.

Default DPI is 480. The DPI really has nothing to do with it.
The stock px for the navigation bar is 48px.

Build.Prop Modifier/LCD density changer - Flashable Zip (Updated: 2015-05-01)

Updated: 2015-08-21 - Changed links because of new host.
Update: 2015-05-01
I updated the scripts so that now you can just flash the LCD density you want. Before, the script would change one specific density to another. Now, it changes any density (3 digit) to the desired density. Everything else is the same.
These files edit build.prop from any three digit density to either 560, 493, 480, or 476 depending on which zip you flash.
For 560 (stock) LCD density:

For 493 LCD density:
https://spideroak.com/share/N5QWWZA...k-bld.prp-mod-set-493-LCD-2015-05-01-1844.zip
For 480 LCD density:
https://spideroak.com/share/N5QWWZA...k-bld.prp-mod-set-480-LCD-2015-05-01-1845.zip
For 476 LCD density:

Original Post:
I install roms all the time and one of the things I hate having to do is edit the build prop to get my preferred LCD Density. Stock is 560 and I prefer 476. I made a flashable zip that I can just flash immediately after I install a rom. All it does is use sed to change "ro.sf.lcd_density=560" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=476". This saves a little time editing the file manually and saves a reboot. The included buildpropmodifier.sh script can easily be edited to whatever values a user might like. The script also includes the ability to enable tethering and hide the soft keys, but these options are disabled by default. The buildpropmodifier.sh script is well annotated to show how it works and can be changed.
I made these for myself but thought others might find them useful. As with anything on XDA you use these at your own risk. They work fine on my N6 but I cannot be responsible for how you use them.
This zip changes the stock LCD density of 560 to 476:
https://spideroak.com/share/N5QWWZA...k-bld.prp-mod-560-476-LCD-2015-04-25-1611.zip
This zip changes the LCD density from 476 back to the stock 560:

Who needs a ZIP for this?
Opening build.prop in system with an root Explorer and change the density works well.

Thanks. Very useful as I always have to change mine to 493 and would do it via flashing when I flash Rom.
thanks, u saved me one reboot.

Ya, it's certainly nothing earth shattering. Just a convenience . It takes like 5 seconds to flash upon install, vs editing build.prop and rebooting.
I find it quite useful. This is why a shared it.
Comes in handy should you have any bootloops related to changing DPI.

That's a good idea. This evening I will update the script to match any 3 digit number and change it to the stock 560. This would make it easier in this case, in particular and also generally.
updated zips to be more useful
I updated the scripts in the OP so that now you can just flash the LCD density you want. This change was inspired by ilamaan's post. Before, the script would change one specific density to another. Now, it changes any density (3 digit) to the desired density. Everything else is the same.
The zips in the OP edit build.prop from any three digit density to either 560, 493, 480, or 476 depending on which zip you flash.

Glad you found it useful. I do to, because I flash way to much as well!
Any chance for a reupload? Would love to get a copy of this zip file, no matter which version, as I'd change it to my personal dpi setting (520). Thanks in advance for any help!
Would like to have these but the link doesn't work.

You can manually edit build.prop in system using root explorer or ROM ToolBox.

1st you must have root access, download app dpi changer from palystore and select desired one but this is not safe you may have an issue using mobile u may not be able to revert easily.
2nd way is to edit build prop
