I am using rom toolbox to adjust my dpi to 380 and everything looks great except the dialer. I installed app settings through the xposed installer and set the dpi for the dialer, phone and contacts to 480, but it did not change. I hate that huge letting of stock 480 I will deal the dialer being of center no biggy but if someone could help set the dialer to 480 it would be awesome!
download 'app settings' enable it since its a xposed module, search for 'contacts' app, and set the dpi to 480, save it. and done.

What's the best app out there to change my DPI? I've seen the 3 options built in, but it does not allow for custom values. Trying to get back to the 183 I had on ParanoidAndroid. Thanks.

Install app, open, swipe to the left once and select kernel tweaks you can set dpi, but just make sure the launcher can go to the dpi you are wanting first.
Post updating to UVMC6, I've tried changing my PPI via the build prop. I think 240 makes everything too big; ~213 is perfect. When making these changes, all the stock applications such as calculator, camera, email, and the like become distorted. However, the notification dropdown and SMS are just perfect.
Is there a way to change the PPI for most of the system and exclude applications such as those aforementioned?
Search for xposed installer apk and xposed app settings. These two allow you to change dpi per individual apps like the dialer.
It works on cm, but I've not tried on touchwiz.

So to clarify, I can keep my PPI at 213 via the build prop & whichever apps look distorted, I can change to 240 individually via xposed installer& xposed app settings?
Exactly
The homepage and app drawer look funny as well. It's probably my only reason I moved away from twiz, the limited grid size.
How to install the Xposed Framework and Use it ( Big Thanks to Rovo 89 for introducing this )
If u want to know what exactly this is about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
For the framework:
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it ( download below)
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
For any modifications/modules you want to install:
Download <module>.apk and install it ( first install the app settings)
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
Instructions for using modules :
Starting with Gmail
At this point i believe u have rebooted your phone after installing app settings and before that the Xposed installer itself
Open app settings and search for Gmail.
To get the kind of result displayed below
1. Change Screen(dp) settings to preferably 600*1024
2. Change font scale to 80 otherwise the dual panel will look messed up.
3. I would suggest u change the orientation to always landscape - worked best for me - depends on your liking
press the save button on the right top corner (then press yes) and check your newly designed gmail app right away
You can tinker with the settings and change it to your liking
Now lets move on to System Settings menu. (Dual panel!)( If u dont use Liquid smooth or AOKP)
search for settings in App settings
in the settings menu
Change DPI to 160
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600
and font scale to 130 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE )
Now save and check it out!
For the same thing - But If u use LiquidSmooth or AOKP or PA or anything that already allows you to force dual panel )
Search for force dual panel in your system settings menu and check it.
Then go to app settings -> settings -> and then
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Save and enjoy!
Now one last example for the PLAY STORE
Search for playstore in the app settings list and enter it.
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE - YOUR CHOICE - WORKS BOTH WAYS )
Additional Settings for each app:
1. u can check fulscreen to disable statusbar in that app
2. Check screen on to change display timeout to never!( it will always stay on in that ap
3. go to locale settings and select the language u want to display it in!
I will update this thread with links to more modules once the repo is up. At the time it is down.
Well nothing new.
It's for those who newbies who have not found a proper and easily explained guide for xposed frameworks yet!

Why not 240 for camera and FM radio if you've changed DPI and are on stock. YouTube, calendar have tablet versions some work well, others are interesting, set auto rotate for stock gallery. The over lockscreen setting can be used for clock app, calculator, torch app anything that personal info can't be taken from but might be needed quickly or by a friend etc also on the selected app in the app settings if you tap menu you can launch the app without having to go home and tap it

Yeah exactly. Users can change and tinker as they want. This was just to get them used to Xposed modules . I will add links to a few more modules in a while.

To decrease T3's screen dpi.... Just head over to build.props can b found in root system.... Edit the build.props by adding a line at the end, type "ro.sf.lcd_density=280"
320 is the stock value
I found 280 is looking best...
Try..
Make sure to make a backup of ur build.props first

If you want to use it on single apps you can do it (root required) by installing xposed framework and downloading the module xposed app settings.

Look, I've just applied it on action 3 launcher, with the following settings. Looks like a tablet right now.
You can either apply on android settings or whatever you want.
images apears big.. any solutions
I have rooted my OnePlus 3 and I changed the dpi of the screen to 420. There's a couple of apps though that I need to keep at default because the don't look right. I know app settings from xposed is meant to change apps separately but for the life of me I can't get it to work on it doesn't matter what values I change nothing happens can anyone help?
I have no issues using App Settings Xposed module ... It works as intended.
Simple procedure:
- select the problematic app (in App settings)
- set DPI to 480
- tap "save" button
- restart device

Yes, the device needs to be restarted after setting something in App Settings, otherwise nothing happens. This is normal behavior since Android Lollipop.
I've done that multiple times. I've changed the dpi to 480 restarted the phone and its still looks messed up. I changed the dpi using terminal so I've set everything to 420 but there's 2 apps I want to keep at default. It won't work. Is there any other way?
The app in question is in red. Should it be in red? This is my first rooting of an android device so it's all new. Thanks for the help guys.
This is the settings I'm trying to use.
Yes, it should be red if it has modified setting.
I noticed one difference between your and my procedure - you changed DPI via terminal, I did it via build.prop edit.
Try setting the DPI back to 480 in terminal and edit the build.prop to get your desired DPI, then fix apps in App Settings.
