Dpi what does it do? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Im running at 400 dpi.
Is dpi only making things smaller? And the resolution is still 1440p?
If i go under 400 its looks like my phone is a tablet.
Sendt fra min LG G3 @ Android 5.0.2 Custom

Changing the dpi changes how many pixels per inch the display is showing, so yes it will change the size of things, but the res should still be 1440p (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Compatible Densities for most Apps

Hi,
I like using my DHD with lowered Density, but then I experience many Apps not compatible with my Density. Is there any other Density for the DHD that makes most Apps work?
TIA
I used 192, but changed recently to 200 and never had a problem with both.
Ok thx. It's like I have 5 updates available with 240 but only one with 190 or 200.
I have all of them available with 160 but my notification bar glitches in some strange way.
I experienced that if you have low density and then try to run apps or specially games, you'll get smaller resolutions in the game. I don't know if it's worth it? you can try installing an app from market which can make font smaller and give you that feeling..
It's not just the fonts. I can change that in CM. It's just, I like having more space on the homescreens and so on

[Q] do any Density / resolution modifier app work?

I've tried the LCD Resolution app on my ICS 4.0.4 Arc S and the layout of the menus etc were pretty messed up. do any of those apps work well on the Arc S? and if so which one and whats a good dpi setting to use to improve the visual experience?
Sometimes you'll have to experiment with numbers 1-9 on the dpi scale. Example I'm at 240dpi, in order for my stuff to look correct I need to set the rest of my dpi on a 3. So example, my usual dpi will be 163dpi. If I do anything other than 3 besides 240 mg screen and information will be messed up.
Edit : Certain launchers will also make a difference as they may be specified to work at the original dpi or be flexible to a new dpi.
Edit2 : Sometimes certain roms don't like dpi, a few sense and ics roms here on the Droid Incredible have issues with the dpi, if I got below 200, sense and ics roms cause certain things to stretch or stay the same dpi even though its a new dpi. Example, sense lock screen gets smaller and does not fit the screen so its off. I try to avoid using dpi on sense because of this and many other reasons, AOSP is a great place to use dpi.

Because using dpi messes the market up I use LCD Density Modded Pro. It allows you to get items from the market your android can't normally find.

Dpi : how does it work

Hi, I have been reading about this in this forum. How does it work.? I mean our gnex is 320 dpi. Does it mean that when we drop the value of our dpi will result in bigger text/image resolution. Is it the same as computer monitor resolution, that is when resolution is lowered it will result in bigger, less sharper, lower quality images and text. What are the uses of lowering dpi? Thanks in advance.

yep its true, if you reduce the dpi it would resutl in a bigger text and icons
it help ppl who dont like small text,
rom PA 2.99+ has this feature, to change every app dpi , its cool you chould try it

Which pixel density do you use?

Hey guys,
Just out of curiosity I wanna ask who of you goes with the default pixel density of 440 ppi (?) and who changed it? I personally use 380 ppi because I can get much more stuff on the screen while the font size is still readable.
Cheers Max
With no issues?
how do i change pixel density from start?

[Request] MOD Lower Resolution and dpi

Hello, I would like to request if someone can made a MOD to lollipop, to lower screen resolution to 1920x1080 and 400 dpi. I did changed the resolution, system performance was too much better, but system apps and the keyboard broke =/

No go. DPI 530 is the lowest you can go. Only thing you can do is set the overall dpi to 400 and the specific FC'ing LG apps to 540 or so (using xposed).
