If u have root u can try changing the changing the dpi of the screen
LCD Resolution (Root) / Rom toolbox
but u need to use a diff launcher.. doesnt seem to work good with TW
I want to change the font size in every app, i m not rooted and i am back from root, so on stock if there is a way to reduce the size
yes reducing the DPI will reduce the fontsize and app icons as well
Or as shiv said, just adjust it in settings, there's an option for tiny, small large or extra large, works across the whole ui.

Using the Xposed framework and App Settings v0.4, how can I change the dpi of the lockscreen?
I'm on fw 423
Thanks in advance, anyone! :laugh:

maybe xperialockscreen apk
UxpNxtLockScreen.apk

Actually, the only way to change that is to change dpi for framework-res (I think). :/

Tried that one with no luck! I also rebooted after making the change.

I just told you, the only way to change it is to change dpi for framework-res(Android System) and reboot. This will change the dpi for all apps.
Or manually modify framework-res.apk to change the dpi only for lockscreen.
There is no other way.

Thanks for your reply. I'll search how to do that and look into it. Hope it works out )

Did you ever figure this out. I'm trying to do this too. JUST the lockscreen it took me all of 2 sec. to change it system wide.
anyone managed to change the dpi of just the lockscreen?
or found another way to center its contents?
its driving me crazy that the fingerprint unlock is not showing up above the button!
Did anyone find a work around for this? I need to either center the elements in the lower part of the screen or change the dpi of the lockscreen only. Same problem here! Last thing left on my list!
Same problem here .
Anyone got solution yet?

Figured it out.
In AppSettings look for an entry called key com.android.keyguard
Set DPI to 640. Under that select/check Apply res to widgets.
Save (Maybe reboot too).
Lockscreen is now stock while everything else remains (at least for me) sweet 530 DPI

Thank you very much!!!!! This really did the trick!!!
So far I've changed a handful of apps and all seems well.
I got a little ambitious though and was going to try and shrink the status bar a bit.
If I remember correctly (been using PA for a while), in the past all that required was changing the DPI for Android System and System UI.
However, doing this leaves me with a gap under the status bar and changing the DPI of Android System seems to affect all the apps...and royally screw up the Samsung keyboard. It works, but the graphics are massively stretched so you have to guess where the keys should be.
Changed these particular settings aren't a huge deal, was just curious if anyone else has had more success, or if I'm just doing something stupid

I'm wondering about the same thing. I have not touched anything with the status bar but would really like to shrink the ridiculously large font. I have changed DPI on a number of apps and no issues so far.
I've never messed with this but I'd love to get rid of the huge font everywhere. Haha

settings/device/font/font size
I changed mine to extra small
I also use apex launcher and changed all the icon sizes to 85% and increased all the rows/columns +1
this made it seem as if it is a better dpi but without hardcore modding of the individual dpi's

I'm just doing individual apps for now as well. 400 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for my eyes.
I changed my whole system to 320 dpi for play store compatability. Whatever dpi ya set make sure to set the tw apps to 480 so they arent screwed up. These include calculator, phone, contacts, camera, email, photo editor, tw home & tw easy home. Ive noticed the keyboard is finally multi dpi and its working just fine for me on 320 dpi. Oh by the way i used rom toolbox to switch my overall dpi & set my per app settings BEFORE changing dpi to prevent any fc's lemme know if ya need any help

I'm running 350 DPI with romtoolbox and apex launcher, it's running great for me, I like the size so much more

Yea changing the build.prop and then overriding a few apps is a much easier approach, good call.

Biggest thing is to make sure ya set the specific apps first haha. I set the whole thing once first and it was a big mess! With setting the apps I specified, the only weird thing i saw was if you go to task manager the top bar is off centered. You can still see everything but theres black space to the right. Other then that everything is just about perfect

Does running the dpi at 350 or 400 cause any issues with the play store? I don't have Xposed installed but I was thinking of using rom toolbox to set it at 350 or 400.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4
It may cause some apps not to show up in the app store because its an unrecognized dpi. Theres a module for xposed that restores app store compatability though I believe

Anyone what program needs to be set to 480 for the S-view window to appear correctly? Tried a bunch but nothing seems to affect it. Thanks

Yeah the clock/weather screen that appears when the s-view cover in closed within the plastic window. Unfortunately I thought it might be tied to system UI which sucks.

Is your phone and contacts working properly? I did the Rom Toolbox as well and set it to 360. I used Xposed to set the DPI to 480 for Contacts and Phone. The initial dialer looks correct. However, after the call connects, the dialer is in the middle of the screen instead of being down the bottom like how it is before the call. Did you run into this issue?

Looks like mine is working now after switching launchers. So the culprit is in the settings of the old launcher and has nothing to do with build.prop DPI. This is good news :good:

While we're on the topic of modifying the look and feel of the phone, can anyone tell me where in settings I need to go to turn off the Weather/Calendar widget on the lock screen? I can't seem to find it anywhere in either settings or calendar app.

I downloaded the beta. When I started the app this morning I saw that there is an update from the beta to 2.3.1. Anybody updated to this version? If so, any issues? Without being able to do a custom recovery I don't want to take too many chances on an infinite bootloop.
Working fine here.

It can be done with app settings Xposed module on some keyboards but the ultimate effect will not be what you're wanting. It makes it smaller both horizontally and vertically and buttons generally don't line up properly

Its just the logical thing to do lol you change the DPI to make things smaller but the keyboard ruins that experience lol I hear the Swype keyboard has resizing built in but not sure to what extent and I'm not paying 99 cents no matter what for a keyboard lol
