I personally think the DPI is to big on the stock version of G3, has anybody successfully decreased it to anything under 380dpi?

You need to root and use the app Texdroid. The stock DPI is around 650ish (can't remember exactly).

Give 590 a try for the DPI. As I wait for my G3 to arrive I've been reading up on changing the DPI on the phone as that will be the very first thing I do after rooting. I've been reading around that people have been testing anywhere from 500-650 with mixed results but 590 seems to be the perfect sweet spot in getting everything to look the proper size without losing any functionality.
If I had my phone I'd try it. But if someone wants to go ahead and give it a go, I'd be curious to hear about the results from you guys.
I'm using 530. Perfect for me. Followed setting from G2 where I went from 480 to 400 (17% decrease)

Good deal. Nothing is broken for you at this setting?
If using stock launcher any DPI but stock 650 will cause apps to FC when opened. Plus it'll green Android some of the LG Apps like contacts, phone, camera etc. Works fine on Nova and Apex just not stock.

Anyone else finding this phone is not compatible with a lot of android apps?. All the apps I purchased (about 75) were compatible with my Samsung Galaxy W. Now half of them, if not more, are not compatible with the S2X. A phone that's twice as powerful.
Is there any way of fixing this?

Your dpi needs to be that of a native resolution. 160 240 or 320.
Or you can use a hacked market and Google services framework which always returns a constant value for your display resolution.

UPDATE: I can confirm the second link works perfectly. The whole market is there, all apps are there, displays all currently installed apps and able to update all apps.

Yes I have and no it doesn't work. You can apply a key theme all day and the device will reboot, but it won't change them. It says that its generally not compatible in LG phones in the play store. I still use it on my N7 though. I hope some devs make something like this for the G3.

There is something If you go to the second post of the tweakbox thread you will find some themes there that work. I
So few weeks back or whatever I remember when YouTube updated and with the G3 we could watch some videos in 1440p. Than they updated the app to 10.whatever and took that option away from us, though still available on pc.
Well you were able to roll back to before they took it away to version 5.9 and get 1440p viewing back.
Well, that worked for me and could watch them perfectly fine, and they looked stunning!
Well. I just went in YouTube tonight to show a buddy of mine, and every single video was max 720p. Even the designated videos for 1440p that I watched many times were maxed 720p. I'm still on version 5.9, so nothing changed there
Did Google do something behind closed doors? The option still there for pc.
So any ideas, or if anyone else can check and see if they are maxed at 720p. Can you post here?
Thanks everyone! Hope someone has an idea howto fix! The 1440p on the G3 was absolutely stunning on this screen.

I know before when I had the option it seemed like I couldn't select it but that was only because my network speed wasn't fast enough. As soon as I got in the sweet spot in my house for the fast lte it switched to 1440p. So maybe that's what you're experiencing?

No idea what was so different... I uninstalled my 5.9, installed yours, and wala... 1080p and 1440p is back!
Exactly like I said earlier. It will work for you, you just have to have really fast speed for it. You'll click it and it wont select it it will stay at whatever it was at, but as soon as you get fast enough speed it will switch over to your selection.
1440p takes a loooot of juice to play.
Mine would only play when I am at ~25mbs
