Sorry, didnt specify i meant to fix the keyboard at 380 dpi, already changed back to original dpi

Needs the swiftkey devs to fix i think. Issue has been there for years

Use 320 instead of 380
Less apps will look funky

What is the stock DPI?
Last I played with DPI was the ability to have per-app adjustments in Paranoid Android, and more recently as part of an Xposed module.
Changing the DPI system wide always used to cause system apps to play up, and apps to vanish from the play store. Do these problems still exist?

will try that

Can anyone guide me how to change dpi and do you need to root phone?
Also will warranty be void by doing so?
Thanks

DPI settings on GS3

So I just tried out SlimBean for the GS3 and it works great. It fixes some of the annoyances I was having with CM9/10.
SlimBean allows the user to change the DPI settings (assuming through the build.prop file). The default value makes everything very small and would be great if all my widgets were justified correctly.
Does anyone know what DPI setting I should use to have the stock look & feel/icon size? From what I can tell the default is 241...
Do it in steps of 2 what i mean first 243 dpi then 245 etc until you found the perfect dpi

I totally agree. You want to take it real slow when editing the DPI. I would make a backup first before even thinking about changing anything like that.
320 is a good one. You can go to developer settings and change it instead of using the build prop editor.
Did a nandroid backup and stepped through a few different DPI settings. Turns out 320 is what I was looking for.
Thanks for the help.

Fwiw, 320 is the default, from the factory setting

under which header is it? I don't see it there.
Easy fix(without messing with build.prop): Definitely nandroid backup first. Then download this app: TexDroider DPI.
Worked wonders for me just now. Everything looks great at 320 dpi. It was previously 220.

Have changed it but am not on stock
Why dont you make a nandoid backup and try it. I am curious myself. Find ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop and try changing it to different values. Oh, and post some screenshots if you can
I tried that but then the Google Play goes haywire with compatibility issues and the home screen and app drawer do not cover up the whole screen :crying:
I am running 400 on stock
No issues with play
Some stock apps such as remote ,force closes

Same problem, the modifications have to be done in the code of the keyboard by a developer. At the moment there are some mod but only for n7100

Smart notice dpi problem

I rooted the g3 so I could lower the dpi but now my smart notice widget doesn't work. I tried putting the dpi back up to 640 using app settings (xposed) but it still won't work.
Anyone got a fix for this ?

thanks for backing me up with the 530 dpi
to the op did you fc the app after applying the new dpi
I changed my DPI to 530 and I can't get the smart notice to display correctly. I tried rebooting and force closing it, but so far nothing has worked. If I change the DPI back to 640, it works fine.

So? LG set wm.density to 640. Google used 560 for their nexus6. Where is your 530dpi god now?..
Everything works using 530 DPI. The only thing that doesn't work or display properly is the Smart Notice.

Changing DPI properly on stock Rom ZE551ML

I am rooted but I didn't unlocked bootloader yet. I tried third party apps to adjust dpı but they didn't changed it. I tried command prompt from Windows it changed it with a little bugs like swiftkey and the photo of the user in status bar. So how can I adjust dpı properly?

8) Adjusting DPI without root
Credit goes to BurritoBashr
To adjust the DPI follow the steps below, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT.
NOTE: I have used the DPI 250 here you can adjust the DPI according to your own taste. The default DPI is 480
CLICK TO HIDE CONTENT
1) Enable USB Debugging
2) Start ADB and check if you see your device by typing
Code:
adb devices
3) If you see your phone go ahead and type
Code:
adb shell wm density 250 (or your preferred setting)
4) Reboot your phone to apply the effects system wide.

I haven't tried Swifkey but I don't care for it anyways. Too buggy all the time. I have no issues with any other apps though. Unfortunately I don't remember the last setting I used cause I went in steps until it was where I wanted it but I think it's currently at 320 or 350 dip right now.

I figured that out. The theme I was using is an unoffical theme and it couses the problem I have. After I changed the theme notification panel fixed.
