Change DPI On Stock Marshmallow - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a XT1068, which I converted to a 69, and then upgraded to stock marshmallow. I have now rooted it fine, but no DPI changing apps seem to be able to get the DPI to change - I have even manually edited the build.prop file. Changing the DPI is what makes the phone usable for me, so has anyone successfully done this, and if so, how?
Thanks

I have tried this, and it shows that the DPI has changed in the app, but the UI does not change in any way.

[Q] "Your device is not compatible with this item"

Anyone else getting this on apps that need updating? Market won't bother telling me there's an update for them anymore, I have to find out from AppBrain... then when I click to update in market does it tell me it's incompatible.
Yes, I've done the whole clear data/fix permissions/wipe cache.
I'm hoping there's a workaround with a build.prop change or something. Or maybe I should just move on and upgrade... *sigh*

set dpi back to stock 160 if you haven't
And if the 160 doesn't work?
Well. Neither build prop or dpi worked for me. So I just pulled my sd card out of my new phone and installed the apps that were missing through titanium.

Change your DPI to 320..
If you wanna keep using custom DPI, install a modded market using LCD density changer PRO..

What is the simplest method of changing my DPI?

For those of you who haven't seen this here yet, someone has managed to modify Go Launcher so that the continuous message informing you to install the phone version is no more. Because of this, I'd love to give a go - if it were to actually fit nicely onto my screen that is. I need to adjust my DPI. What DPI do you recommend for comfortably fitting Go Launcher HD and what is the simplest method of changing my DPI to this? I am on the stock ICS 4.0.4, which means I have the brick bug also (so don't go getting my phone bricked please).
There are planety of apps in the Play Store that can do it.
But you may need to restore your system, so you have to be carefull, I had to restore mine once.
there is a manual way to do it by editing a file, but it's not safe either.
In liquid smooth JB rom, the option to change DBI is in the setting directly.. it's amazing.

I believe that you mean "DPI" and not "DBI", but thank you for the advice regardless of a typing error. So, from what you are saying, there is no safe way to alter the DPI on a stock ROM until Samsung (hopefully) fix the brick-bug problem?

Are you rooted? I once changed DPI using "DPI Changer" from play store and I had to re-flash firmware (boot loops), since then I am using root explorer to edit build.prop and haven't encountered any issue since then. You can also use ROM toolbox. But both these require root access.
I have tried 240, 285 and both seems okay.

Did you replace the fonts successfully?

Hello, I have already S-OFF my device, and install ARHD 10.3 rom. Yesterday, I install the ifonts application, and replace one of font by it. But, I cannot replace all of system fonts. Although in third-part applications can replace very successfully, in the stock or system application cannot be replaced, such as blinkfeed, setting title and so on.
Have you got the same problem about this? If you have any resolution, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

DPI

Is there a way we can make the icon smaller by changing the dpi? My note 5 is rooted and I tried installed Texdroider DPI but it won't do anything. Nothing has changed. This app work perfectly on my OnePlus one. But won't work on the note 5.
Since you're rooted, you can use a Root File Explorer and edit the build.prop; lcd density. At least that's what I do with a rooted Stock Android phone.
However, I have the Note, non-rooted, and used this method and worked well. Should still work on a rooted phone. http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-...creen-resolution-without-root-access-0160439/
I used to have Texdroider DPI on my oneplus one and it worked perfectly. But for some reason it won't work on note 5.
Then last night I tried another DPI app called "Root DPI Changer" it works good. Just FYI, in case you don't want to mess with build.prop
