[APP/GUIDE] Per app dpi control for most ROMs using Xposed

I Just thought of posting this where more people could see and use it
How to change dpi of individual apps on almost ANY ROM:
Tested and working on:
Stock ICS ROM (tested on Optithrust, should work on other ICS ROMs like Django, Flexicer etc. too)
CM10 (tested on pengus77's ROM. should work on other cm10/cm10.1 roms too)
Tested and not working on(yet):
MIUIv4
When I tried Jishnu's optithrust (Stock ICS ROM), it worked for changing density of root explorer and nova launcher app. (Take a backup first if you need to)
It is simple.
All steps are easy to do, and 4 out of 5 steps need to be done only once. After that, you can easily change the dpi of any app.
1. Download and install the file(apk) attached here.
(It is an ingenious framework mod developed by rovo89. All credit to him)
2. Open the app and click on "Install/Update" button. Then reboot.
3. Download and install this: http://d-h.st/OTS like a regular app.
Full credit to Tungstwenty and rovo for this great app.
this is the original download link, but it doesn't work at the moment. Rename file extension from zip to apk if you have downloaded from here
(ill remove the mirror as soon as i get come to know that the original one is working again)
4. Now a notification comes in notification bar, open the first app (Xposed Installer) by pressing that notification and in "modules" tab, tick the Xposed App settings (should be the only option) box.
Reboot.
Above steps 1 to 4 need to be done only for the first time
5. Now after rebooting, open "xposed app settings" (2nd app) and select any app from the list, enable its toggle above (there's only one button, you cant miss it ), and set its dpi to whatever you want and save. For best experience, keep the value of dpi between 160 and 240.
Remember, as always, some apps may look weird on low dpi. They were not designed for a lower dpi. For example, when I tried on stock lg launcher, it looks weird, because it is natively designed for 240 dpi, but nova launcher, trebuchet and most other apps should look proper
Thanks to the rovo89 and xposed app settings developer Tungstwenty.
Cheers

will work on miui or not?

Normal dpi is 240, so if you set it to that, things are back to how they were

Damn that's EPIC!
Take my thanks... Take it!!
Btw i want to change the dpi of the status/notification bar on top... SystemUI will do it right?
Oh and tested 100% working on SU660 (Korean) on FlexIcer 4.7

Hi Rugglez....
Is there any method in Xposed to set Overall DPI meaning for UI as well as apps.... I tried to reduce the DPI of "Android System" but the keyboard here gets crazy (Key will be shown at one place but u will have to press it at another place in order to type it ).... I searched and found one "Tablet UI" module but it also doesn't work .....
Thanks

Don't change dpi of android system
As far as I know, in this app, you can change dpi only one by one. For changing dpi of everything, you can set the value in build.prop but dont try that since it messes up app compatibility in play store. But by changing dpi once for required apps like systemUI, launcher, settings etc. you can get a similar experience overall.
Update: @owais40 I think the tablet module existed in the older version, can't find it now. If you are on the older version, try updating to the newest one, link updated in OP a few hours ago. Even the settings app has been updated on that site.
When I changed the screen dp setting for Gmail app to 600x1024, the hybrid (tablet) mode got activated. So you can try that out with apps that you think may have hybrid mode support
Settings app doesn't show split ui though, maybe our device cm version doesn't support.

I have updated both framework and settings apps but the Tablet UI Module doesn't work with that ... Didn't try though for older versions ... So currently I use build.prop method to set my overall DPI and this http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/all-apps-in-play-store.15/viewfile Module to fool the Play Store.... Thanks for all your help ....

Nice!
Xposed is really a handy framework that lets you do so much with innovative modules like these. It deserves much more attention than what it has currently got. Kudos to the developer rovo89
You can also do this:
Set overall dpi in build.prop and in this per-app-dpi settings module you can set play store dpi to 240 (and of course, adjust dpi of any other app specifically too if desired). Expecting that to work too. That way, complete control can be obtained

Maybe rovo would prefer if people edit in the gui of an app rather than make changes in build.prop every time the rom is flashed, and maybe avoid errors people might make in the syntax there too. (although i guess the framework install button may have to be pressed on updating the rom too anyway )

Hey guys. I recently installed this along with per app dpi settings on my Droid DNA and so far I have been able to change DPI for things like settings etc but when I try to change it for my launcher (trebuchet, nova or apex) nothing happens.
Is there another way I can force DPI on to my Launcher without installing PA

CM11 Launcher trebuchet

I tried to install the apk file attached in first post but that didnt install , i guess CWM is the only way to get this launcher.
I have a modded tre.. launcher with different name so wanted to install the original CM11 version but i guess the simple apk install wont work.

It's not working for me, but it's probably because I have Android 4.1.2...

It seems like cm11 Trebuchet stopped working on my AOSP 4.2.1 rom in mid June (around the 15th). Before, it was working very good.
Anyone knows why or how to make it work again?
edit: The problem is that it installs propperly but fails to open when i use the home button.

Here is CM11 trebuchet, as built on the 5th July 2014. I MODIFIED AndroidManifest.xml and now it works again on my 4.2.1 Jellybean rom.
Not working list:
Wallpapers (you ve gotta set it manually from Gallery)
Themes
Protected Apps (You can still hide apps with xposed GEL settings app, through xposed framework, if it's a matter)
Exactly like before. I played around in order to make these menus open but I failed. It seems like they interact with other processes/apps (like Settings.apk) which are exclusively found on CM11.

Does this change the notification and status bar to the same style as Trebuchet?

perfect launcher!
This launcher is better than google's launcher because we can remove that persistent search bar.
I installed it on my "spice mi 498".
Thanks for the launcher.

Try searching for cmapps in play store, although that app is broken but in description you can find direct web link.
Also my phone has android 4.4.4 and my phone is from android one series.
I think previous android version might be the problem.

Thanks for the APK dude, it works like a charm on my X-BO V5. Had to use the flashable ZIP version as the companion app to the default launcher, if not the launcher itself, is tainted.

AOSP apps remover v1.2 | Android 7.x | 11/08/16

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices or other issues.
For all of you who likes clean ROM and hate duplication between system and user apps folders this tool will help. This will remove all defaults AOSP apps except launcher and keyboard. I suggest after removing to install pico version of gapps or all of this will not make much sense. Also boot animation will be gone, trim it to the bone
For everything else you may need use Play Store. This way upgrading existing apps will not make any duplicates.
Please don't hesitate to post if you like to see some more apps to be included in this remover.
V1.2 11/08/16
Added Development app

Thanks! It would be great to see this in an AROMA format where the user could select which apps to remove.

I've noticed this too on my Nexus 6 regardless of ROM- Google Camera does not show up in the PlayStore. Like others have mentioned if you sideload the apk from somewhere like apkmirror it will work. Alternatively you can try clicking on this direct link from your Nexus 6 and it should hopefully take you to the play store with google camera displayed- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

I ran this while doing a clean install of Pure Nexus. Zips flashed in TWRP in this order: 1) Pure Nexus, 2) Full GAPPS (linked from Pure Nexus), 3) B14CKB1RD kernel, 4) phh's superuser, 4) 320 dpi, 5) AOSP apps remover. Google camera was available on first boot. ?
Two possible AOSP app oversights: AOSP keyboard (risky, I get it), and AOSP spell check (part of keyboard app?).
No problems experienced after booting into ROM and getting everything setup to taste. This is now a go-to/must have flash for me. Thanks!

How did you drop your DPI to 320? Was it on N? I've tried changing DPI in build.prop and using apps but nothing worked.

Yeah, on 7.1.1 right now. The Pure Nexus FAQ clued me into these flashables. Adjusting the display size may confuse the DPI change, but a reflash of the DPI zip fixed it for me in 7.0 (and I haven't messed with it in 7.1.1).

Go into settings/apps then click on the cog in upper right corner. Now set your current diaper app as default for phone. This should fix your problem.

any chances to do a flashable zip that could work in all devices?

[Module][Magisk][Pixel 2 Launcher][Original- unmodified][Systemless][App]

This magisk module is Pixel 2 launcher installer which installs it systemlessly.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as user app, swipe right to open google now is not working. Even in some ROMs like pixel phone stock ROM, AEX ROM it can't be installed as user app.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as system app, it causes issues like removes pixel launcher (in pixel phone & some ROMs' default launcher like AEX).
So this module will neither remove original pixel/pixel like launcher, nor compromise in functionality, it will just replace (or install) pixel 2 launcher systemlessly.
Google now launcher working with this systemlessly replaced pixel 2 launcher (even though it's not modified)
How to..
Flash module using latest magisk manager
Or
Flash using custom recovery like twrp.
Download link:
Download from attachment
Sources: Pixel 2 launcher apk file has been taken from APKMIRROR, and not modified at all.
Note:
All features will work only in oreo based ROMs. Notification dot & icon shape will not work with Nougat based ROMs.
You need to give location permission manually to get weather data as launcher is not asking location permission but by default all permission are set off.
Simple flashable zip & user app of Pixel 2 Launcher are available in this thread:

In android Pie the Pixel launcher is quite deeply integrated with the "muktitasking" (you know, when you swipe up to see recent apps, I don't know how to call it) I think, so the only way you have to use it is to install a simplified version, without the recent apps function (there was a post on the XDA frontpage some time ago).
If you really want the Pixel feeling, I suggest you to try the Official PixelExperiemce ROM for our device, it's awesome.
