Hey everyone. Thanks in advance for the help. I don't know about everyone else... But every phone I have had I always change my density to around 360ish or there is a Rom preconfigured . it seems more functional to me lol. Any who... The one issue I have never solved is the lock screen and dial pad. They are all aligned to the left. It really bugs me. Anyone know how to fix this and center them

Get the app settings xposed module and change the dpi for them back to 480. People have remade some of them to be custom DPIs but im not entirely sure if they're compatible so you could try those or make your own if you dont want them at 480

Noob question but what does changing dpi settings do and whhat are advantages/disadvantages I see people talking about changing this and wondering why?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Changing dpi all in your screen will be smaller than stock.
good→better looking
bad → some apps stock and not doesnt have compatibility (for example dialer isnt in the center of the screen.)
So would recommend to change this on my note? Also what would be the best setting?
Also would this make apps crash if they not compatible?
Thanks for your reply and help

Is there some sort of hacked market for SGN like i had on HD2. So when you change your DPI you still can use all market apps. As i now cant use zen brush on CM9 when i changed the DPI form 320=240

I haven't heard anything like what you describe for SGN. Does the problem continues on all dpi changes? Have you tries 260?

This app will solve all your problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro the 'fix market' options lets you install a customised version of the market that tricks it into thinking your using a dpi of your choice
i keep seeing threads that say thats its 182 or 240... whats the real one that will make the phone just like it was before?
and does the dpi effect somehow on the battary or speed?
240 is default. No and no. But it may lead to crashes on some apps.

240dpi is the default, changing it might CIA crashes depending on the ROM you ate using.

The DPI of the display is how many physical pixels there are in one inch square of the phones screen, software cannot change this.
There may be software that could possibly force the phone to use a lower resolution, but i'm not sure why you would want that.

I got bricked after using an app.
If you're rooted you can edit the build.prop yourself, or use Xposed to control each app separately.

thx, shall try
This is an odd problem for me. I really love the Lux Auto-Brightness app and use it all the time but I've been having this issue that's now preventing Lux from doing it's job. Third-party app control of Screen Brightness doesn't work. If I go into the Android settings and change the brightness from there it works fine but every single Third-party app I try can't control my brightness. I can't even control the Screen Brightness from within MXPlayer anymore and that was working fine as well. I've thought maybe something is wrong with Lux but uninstalling and rebooting didn't fix anything. Does anybody have any ideas what's causing this?

I'm running rooted Stock 4.1.2 with only mod being the change of dpi to 160. I've made no other mods.

Stupid question but did you try changing the dpi back to the original setting? If so and it didn't change anything I would just do a dirty flash of stock rom. Changing dpi can screw up a lot of things.

Changing the dpi didn't help. Doing a dirty flash is an idea but I'd prefer trying something less extreme before doing that. It'd be a pain to re-setup root and things just to get brightness control fixed. At that point I'd probably just move on to a Custom ROM.
