LGP990 UI Scale change?

Hello everyone!
I just rolled back to Official GB V20S (Finland) and i was wondering if there's mod or something which allows user to change UI scale like in Pdroid ICS/JB rom.
GB scale is so "large" and if possible i would like to know how i can change UI scale in whole setup.
Thanks in advance!

You can't get tablet mode on gingerbread but you can change the pixel density. Edit the line in /system/build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density= 240 to ro.sf.lcd_density= 161 experiment with the values to get the desired results.
And oh, don't forget to reboot and clear cache! Also clear the data of market.

Well thank you for fast respond. Do i use Terminal to do this change or i just go to the file location and "it can be changed from there"?
Edit: Ok i think i got it now. btw how i clear market cache? from google play settings?

Yes, my bad I meant google play cache!

[GUIDE] Change the dpi on your S5

Change the dpi on your Galaxy S5!
Requirements: Root, Supersu, and a nandroid or build.prop backup to go back to in case you mess up.
I tried this out on the Stock S5 Rom and the Extreme Debloat 2.1.2 Rom
1. download build.prop editor from the play store.
2. Click on the '+' at the bottom, click predefined properties, then find ro.sf.lcd_density then put in the desired dpi value.
3. 480 is stock for the S5, 422 is what you see when you use a rom-slot When you make the change, approve it with Supersu. Make sure it happens.
4*. If you're being safe and using a rom slot to try this out, you have to shutdown the device, let it vibrate, then take out the battery because the shutdown sequence freezes. After that pop it back in and turn on your phone. If you're on the stock slot, just reboot
5. If you're new dpi number works, your phone will boot properly, if it doesnt you will get a 'device memory damaged' alert and even if you click 'reset device' it will continue to do this whenever you turn on your phone forcing you to restore the build.prop or nandroid with a backup.
Apparently, my method overwrites the hidden ro.sf.lcd_density that doesnt appear when you search build.prop with a new and visible one! Hopefully I've discovered something that will contribute to this board. Enjoy!
To fix the small camera problem, you can use xposed framework module app settings and change the dpi back to 480. Im having difficulty fixing it for the phone dialer. Hopefully somebody can find the solution.
Please post working dpi's below.
Confirmed working dpis: 480, 422, 420

You would change SystemUI, that changes the notification bar/panel as well though among other things and makes having your dpi lower pretty much pointless in my opinion.

Changed DPI and now phone stuck

Folks
I'm rooted and running Shamu 3.97. I used ADB to wrongly change my DPI. I ran the command
adb shell wm density 560480 (was using up arrows and by mistake didn't clear out the 560 before inputting 480)
Immediately, the phone rebooted and is stuck at the boot - little circles going around but doesn't move beyond that. Is there a battery pull that can be done on this device and what's my resolution? Do I have to somehow get into recovery and change the DPI to native 493?
Thx

You dont change DPi in bootloader or recovery, you need to edit it in build.prop or you can download dpi changer from play store

I got access to recovery but cannot boot the phone up since it just gets stuck on the rotating color circles. Any way to edit build.prop from recovery? I can see my Internal storage on my computer but can't find the build.prop file anywhere

did u do a backup on ur phone before dpi change? it could be u changed to the wrong dpi. Worst case scenario is flash back stock rom ...

[guide] black navigation bar

Hey all. Other day i look around floating_feature.xml in system/etc and i found the line for config nav bar:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>
I think if theres an option "SupportLightNavigationBar" lets see if "SupporrDarkNavigationBar" works. And it worked
Don't know if anyone have dicover that but i wann share it with you.
Final code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>SupportLightNavigationBar|SupportForceTouch|SupportCustomBgColor|SupportNaviBarRemoteView|SupportDarkNavigationBar</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_NAVIGATION_BAR_THEME>

I think you can push it via adb. If anyone could help with it

Fairly sure you need to be rooted to mod system files even with ADB, or at least have TWRP installed, in which case you might as well root too as you have already tripped KNOX

or you can just use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
set
need_dark_navigationbar to 1
need_dark_statusbar to 1
then go switch it to black..
you might need adb initially to get the app permission but its only needed to do once.. actually, you dont need permission for that as its in system settings.. if u want to change secure or global settings you need to set the adb perms

not true in this case.. those values are in settings.. you can do it in adb also if you use the settings binary similar to what i just posted.. the app is probably the easiest tho plus u can edit pretty much any setting with the app

Just changed those lines both to 1, but no black has appeared
Also I have a problem with low notification / ringtone sounds, I see there are level settings for that too
What is the adb command to get the full permissions for the app to edit everything? The values are reset back to 0 after a reboot

Did you have any luck figuring this out? The settings don't seem to stick on reboot.

Not with this method, I use this now instead, works flawlessly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.inteks.samtweak2&hl=en
Exclude the app from power saving though or you'll need to open it again to reapply some of the tweaks

(SOLVED) Lower than stock DPI setting via build.prop?

I have a Android One version of the X4 and I am attempting to leave the rom stock (be a first for me in almost 10 years). I have it unlocked and the stock settings only allow you to move the DPI or Display size so small and I would like it smaller. I booted to TWRP and and added the line ro.sf.lcd_density to the build.prop file (didn't see it listed). Now when I boot the "Display Size" setting shows Custom (408), no matter how low I make the density setting in build.prop (currently at 300). Is there another config file that controls the minimum value somewhere?
Thanks

Have you tried to control it via developer settings> smallest width if that settings appears in your x4?
You may have to undo that build.prop however.

Wow you are a genius! I was way over complicating this one. Thank you. That did it, I never new that was thing. Hopefully someone as silly as myself will see this and not go down the path I did.
