Changing DPI properly on stock Rom ZE551ML - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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

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 tried that too. It changes the dpı but some apps like swiftkey doesn't look same. Swiftkey looks weird. I just can see the "qwert" buttons.

The only way for me was to use App Settings 1.13 with xposed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63835421&postcount=2040

Do I have to unlock my bootloader to get xposed? I unlocked it once then I send my phone to the service now it has a locked bootloader and I don't want to unlock it now.

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.

It shouldn't matter. The individual app should be able to be changed without needing to change overall density.

Go to the pa settings and select apps, then scroll down to the one you want and select the density there.

Yup, that's hat I've been doing and the max is 320 for dpi.

DPI

Is there any way I can chance screen dpi with stock ROM (Oxygen). My phone is rooted.
Thank you

add this line to your build.prop file (located in /system)
ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX
change xxx to your desired dpi and reboot
Just download the build. Prop editor from the playstore. Search density. Change it to what you want. Restart. I use 320.
Im using le dpi changer and im using 290
Adb shell wm density xxx where xxx is your desired density. No root required.

With adb you get issues like play store big icons zooper widget didnt work correctly etc.
Sent from my ONEPLUS3
No play store issues but chronos widget battery icon did become bigger than usual. Also cropping profile pics in WhatsApp etc seems broken. I just reverted to stock dpi and I'm happy ever since.

This approach caused incorrect display of some display elements for me - for instance the top developer icon on play store looks abnormally large. Setting the dpi from build prop has no issues

Understood. Thanks for the information.

If you encounter any oddities in apps when you change dpi, install Xposed & App Setting and you can revert the misbehaving app back to stock dpi individually.

How to change display resolution?

Is there any reliable way to change display resolution to 720p?
Anybody?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
you can change your dpi by manually editing your build.prop, or use an app like textdroider dpi.

The question is about screen size, not density.
OP: try this. You have to be rooted.

Tried it but did nothing, may be it doesn't support latest OS as it has not been updated for a while.

Oh that's what I thought. If you find how to could you share please?
You can use SecondScreen for 720p.

This one is working, root required. Here you have some presets and you can edit the values as you like, too.
Both of these are interesting options. I am testing, there is a bit lagginess though.

Dark mode

I triggered dark mode with a dark wallpaper, but the only thing that changes is the notification and quick setting screens
That's how it is

I expected Phone, Settings, at least
It is not like oneplus theme mode
If you want to theme your device you can use substratum with plenty of themes and numerous color options

Like Prattham said....substratum, but then add Andromeda from the play store, and a pc, and you can theme away without root ?
Sure, then I need a PC every time I reboot, no thanks. Smart launcher and Dialer+ do most of what I want...

Yep. You'll just need the pc to change the theme if you want :good:
That's not what I read, when I really need some change I will do it properly with root, thanks anyway :good:

Dpi change

Can we change the default dpi on Mate 20 x. The developer setting to change the width only make the font smaller but everything else still big, like the icon, home screen and status bar etc. Any method for root or non root.

Some interface elements such as the ones you mention are not affected by changing the dpi setting. There is no way round that.
It's a bug, it worked great on the Honor Note 10.

Hi guys, I posted this in another thread before I found this so I'm going to copy-paste what I put there:
Hey guys, I've been thinking of getting this phone but after trying it out at a store and realizing that the navigation buttons and notification doesn't change size, I'm a lot more hesitant to get the phone. Is it possible to change the sizes of them? Any luck using ADB to change the lcd.density? According to this other post in the Mate 10 forums https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76106073&postcount=32 it's possible. They did edit the build prop directly though. Not sure if this is able to be edited through ADB so no root is required.
Would appreciate any answers to this! Thank you!
Is there really no way around it?
