Download an app called rom tool box for your density

Many people reported the same issue.
To change the LCD density, you can directly edit the /build.prop file using root explorer (or any other file editor having r/w permission) or can use the tools something like rom toolbox.
Attached an example how to change lcd density using Rom Toolbox.

Thanks for the tips. One last question, do you guys have any perferred resolutions? I have been pushing 1200*720 but I feel like things are just a little too small and when the screen rotates the home screen looks fairly messed up, might just be golauncher though. Anyway, thanks again.

Just like you said, some of the launchers are not working well with high density. Even some Roms keep FC with non-standard densities.
I'm using go launcher and it's working pretty well with FC18/22 Stocked Roms.
Currently I'm under density 200 but 160 also works well.
Only one minor issue is, just few apps are not extended to full screen but that's ok to me. You may try several densities by yourself and find out which one best works for you.
[Update] I just did some test with 180 density, and it looked better than 200. All the widgets were correctly arranged on the screen and no broken widgets on go launcher. But the icon and letter sizes are too small for me, so I just keep using 200.

188
Check out LCD Density Modder to fix market compatibility problems (use 240 for the fake value).

[Q] Changing LCD Density

Hey Guys
I am just wondering how to make stock applications working with Density set to STOCK 240.
I love the 240 density but Dialer/Dock Screen/Email/Stock Apps doesn't fits properly on screen.
Anyone know how can we fix it ? or we have to wait for a ROM who supports Multi DPI ?
Thanks In Advance.

For contacts you can use Go Contacts or RocketDial. I prefer RocketDial because it much powerfull and have many many option to configurate it. Both of them works excelent at all DPI, even at tablet DPI. S Note looks ok. Other apps from Samsung\Google I'm not using and deleted them. For email I prefer AquaMail, it's working on low DPI and have many options too, like on PC email clients.

Does anyone tried to bring N2 into 213dpi? Just curious if they just passed into Jelly Bean something like NEXUS 7 "half-tablet" UI. Can someone report what stops working on 213? I know apps might look bad, but as soon their will working there will be matter of time when somebody will just mod them. But what will FC?
I am still on N1 i know what does not work on 213 N1 ICS - but N2 will be here in about 2 weeks so already curious.

then I try camera fx, very buggy with it. later camera didn't work. "echec appareil photo". I tried everything( factory reset,wipe all, format all) still failled to launch camera with stock and all other app.
Since I changed the note 2 in my store with an other.
I break the camera on the device but what is the reason????

Still want to change the dpi (so better) but I don't want to break the camera again and I am not really sure what is the probem...

Maybe you can try to download an other Camera app.

already did. the camera is defenitly broken on the first galaxy note 2. And other camera app are bad compared to the stock.
does it possible to modded the stock camera app for other density? If yes, what need to change in the apk?

I love 240 dpi as well...but most stock apps looks so stuffed up.....now I have revert back to 320....can't believe I have to be stuck with such a high dpi setting

Fired From My FireDevice.

Arf. This would be on the top lisf of the dev.
Don't know if it's possible but an app "dpi per app" would be awesome.
Paid for this app 10 euro... no 20... maybe more. Ahah
Like in the paranoidandroid but on touchwiz. Maybe possible...
I hope.... too bad this 320 dpi. look like a screen for blind man.

what app did you use to change the density?
was just wondering what app you guys used to change the density. tried editing the build.prop to 240 and i got stuck on a bootloop. wanna see if i can manage the complaints about the built-in apps not adjusting and the camera crashing.

Any info on it ? As Samsung is still thinking about the full documentation release , It seems PA will take ages to out...

I can confirm that neither 213 or 160 gives you full "half-tablet" mode for all apps. Camera looks messed up.
On 160 SystemUI crashes and the lockscreen look changed (time and date to the left instead of centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode but the settings menu does. Google Chrome has got tabs. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's "half-tableteted".
On 213 SystemUI does not crash. Lockscreen looks like default one (centered). SMS does not have "half-tablet" mode, niether does the settings menu or Chrome. Didn't check calendar but I assume it's not "half-tableteted".
Conclusion, only way to get to "half-tablet" mode right now is to go 160 DPI and then everything's really small and SystemUI crashes :/

How to change screen DPI on T3

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.

OnePlus dpi help

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.

dpi too big

One of my most anticipated Android nougat features (please come sooner) is the scaling option in display settings.
And because I find the dpi in the p2 to be too big and I don't have poor eye sight I need it more compact to fit as much as possible into the screen.
So How do I change dpi to something like 400 dpi and would there be any bugs in doing so ?
Non_root method would be appreciated since I haven't OEM unlocked yet maybe I don't plan to

i have seen many people discussed about it, they changed DPI in ADB terminal by using some command, they reported of no problems

Method for changing the dpi, no root required!
Enable USB debugging in developer settings.
Connect the phone via USB to pc.
Start adb and find the phone:
Code:
adb devices
Then enter the command:
Code:
adb shell wm density 400 && adb reboot
Assuming you said you want the dpi of 400, if anyone is looking for a different dpi just change the value.
The phone will reboot.
Enjoy your new smaller dpi.
Profit.

You can always reverse it, just go see for yourself but yes, there are a few scaling problems. For me, it's totally worth it because the DPI is way too high
