[Q] Edit dpi in semcphone.apk?

Is there any possibility to fix the dpi in phone app? I changed screen dpi from 480 to 420, and it works great everywhere. Except in phone app. It doesn't adjust to the new settings. Why is that, and is there a way to fix it?
Best regards

You can use App Settings xposed module to set dpi per app.

Changing DPI in Dev options

Hi all. I've bought my first Huawei device this morning it being the P10, and was just wondering about changing the DPI in developer options. What numbers are good to use?

I use 400 DPI as i prefer it more.

I use 445 but on the plus.
btw has anyone figured out how to make this setting stay after a re-boot?
Maybe there is an xml or a line that works in one of the build.prop files (system or vendor)
Would be nice to have our own independent of the 3 default options as per DB menu.

When i change dpi in dev options of p10 to 420 then phone app and camera app got error display.
Please help me fix?

how to change the size of the screen like in Nougat on Huawei p9.

I have a p9 updated to nougat and I find no option in the settings----> display to change the screen size. I saw that in the developer settings there is the "minimum width" and I set it as 420 (for having a very condensed screen) but some camera elements have glitches. How can you have the condensed screen without having glitches? * I do not have the root *
Thanks much

The "minimum width" setting is the dpi. For the camera if you set the dpi higher the Pro mode switch goes towards the shutter button, but if you set the dpi over 410 this switch glitches out and stays in the air. So the simple answer is don't set the dpi over 410.

Yes, I was wrong to write, I said how to change the DPI of the screen. I set 409 to not have pro mode on the depth shutter and have the most condensed screen.
How does huawei not put it in the settings accessible to everyone (in the display to understand)?

I could be wrong, but i think its stock and manufacturer puts the dpi slider outside the developer settings, because you could mess up your screen. And i think it's accessible enough that people who know what DPI even means can change it. And you also don't need to mod anything to access developer settings, so everybody can use them.

Right, I did not think so

hey there,
i run Oreo on p9 AL10 and dev settings are 420dpi and no glitches in camera or anywhere.
Question, how to make settings survive a boot? it always defaults back to 360dpi after boot.
i played with build.prop but nothing worked for me. any ideas?
thx

Screen dpi question

Hey there. Just out of curiosity, what is the default "smallest width" value in dev options with default screen size on Nokia 8?

Just checked it's 484. If you change the display size after a custom value it gets reset.

Question Smaller fonts possible?

Is there a way to make the fonts smaller? I've adjusted the font scale setting to the lowest under Settings>Display but I'm still finding the fonts quite large compared to the Pixel.
In Gmail in particular I'm only seeing 7 emails per screen

Try lowering minimum width. Enable developer option and scroll down to it, I don't know if you can go below 300dp, that's gonna be very tiny anyways.

I raised the width setting from 384 to 500. That's seems to have worked. Thanks

Go into developer mode then set smallest width DPI to 511 default is 411 bingo looks great now
