Hello,
A great colleague of mine who also owns a xperia S like me
loaded SlimNasomi rom (I think 4.2.2) and did change lcd DPI.
Screen displays more info and icons are smaller. Look nice.
Is it a way to do it with official 6.2.b.1.96 rom ?
I found a thread on a forum about root'ing the phone and
updating a file build.prop in /system, updating ro.sf.lcd_density
I even found an app 'Google Play DPI Fix Tool'
Did anyone already try to play with LCD DPI's ?
Thanks. Cheers from Belgium,
Thierry
I use Texdroider DPI - it worked on stock JB, rooted.

Can I ask you how does it works?

It changes build.prop to desired dpi. I use it because it's faster and it really works. I tried on stock ROM, OpenSEMC and letama's AOSP 4.3.
And what is the range of values to stay in to avoid an endless bootloop?
yes that's the question, What value did you use for. in .200 fw i used a lcd density changer soft (don't remember the name) and guess what i got endless loop. I used 244 or something like that.
I usually use 240 and I didn't have any problems with that dpi.
It is standard Android dpi so most apps work just fine. Stock ROM look good but it has some minor offsets (gradient in notification bar as far as I remember).
I have been talking about this in the themes section in an old thread. I keep seeing people have issues with the dpi apps. I personally just edit build prop manually as it is not hard. I use Anttek explorer for my file browsing and edits. I would also suggest you try Xposed framework and per app dpi module. The magic LCD number is 192 for tablet mode. If you set home to 160 it goes into tablet mode but the status bar will not combine at the bottom. There is also another xposed module that forces tablet mode and works well but is still buggy. You also loose small apps.
There is a way to force tablet mode with out the dpi change but I have to figure out how to do that and even then not sure it will actually work. Need to ask some smali experts to help me.
... and what about if in endless bootloop ? ... :crying:
You must make backup before any modifcations
Yea it is a great idea to have a backup when messing with the system. If something goes wrong you can just go back to where you started.
heys guys..

Sorry, but only the obvious: uninstall it and look for a different way to change dpi.
I've never had success changing resolution or dpi on mine (8.4 t325) with stock or modified stock rom. Only on CM11 (which I'm using now) could I do it, either through terminal or an app.
For anyone wondering in the future, LineageOS supports both MHL AND resolution changing - at least in its current state.
hey does anyone know what is the minimal dpi for stock base roms before system apps FCs? I'm unable to test it myself right know. Thx
530 DPI is the lowest setting without some FC and LG app icon glitching.
Hi all,
Just rooted my oneplus 3 and my camera isn't working - the view finder shows up but it doesn't save any pictures I'm taking . I'm on stock with xposed . Build prop edited to set dpi to 420. Someone at oneplus forums reported this issue and solutions pointed at not touching the build prop file.
Has anyone here had this problem?
I have tried clearing data and cache for the camera app
Nope never had this problem.
Flashed the 3.2 update. Camera is OK but dpi is back to 480 . will try changing it and report back
No luck. Changing the dpi from le dpi chnager did not work for any of the methods mentioned in the app. Changing it manually from the build prop also doesn't help

I've got the same problem, difference is my videos don't save
I have 3.2.7, root, xposed, dpi set to 420. No problems with saving pics/videos.
Its certainly not the fault of dpi.
This occured after changing dpi to 440.In 480 it perfect and i don't want to change from 440
if u r rooted, u can install xposed and install app settings which will allow per app dpi
