Changing DPI to 540

If you like a tighter crisp viewing experience, I can confirm that adjusting DPI down to 540 is stable.
I use Texdroider DPI, works with 5.1 :good:

WARNING: Be careful, setting too low can bootloop your phone
It's your phone, your responsibility.

Could you maybe upload some screenshots to see how it looks. Im a little worried about getting a bootloop

I am experiencing no side effect or lag with DPI change.
On a side note-
There are several Nandroid backup options available, I use online Nandroid Backup w Nandroid Manager

Does this require root>?

Yes.

By stable, do you mean LG camera works too!? I tried 520 over the weekend and it kept FC, didn't think there was a sweet spot!

@540 camera works great. I haven't taken it down to 520.
Good feedback thanks

Ok, so I did this like I have on any other device by adjusting the build.prop with root explorer and I entered 540. And now I am in a boot loop.. any suggestions?
2 hours later.. had to flash stock firmware.

This is mine at 580. 540 starts to make things a little too small for these old eyes.

thanks. The adb method causes weirdness like blank shorcuts. I may have to break down and root.

540 working great thanks

The only issue I have with 540 is you can no longer switch between saving to the MicroSD card vs internal in the LG camera app.

For the record
If you want to change to 540dpi I would without a doubt use Kernel auditor or Es File Manager. If you edit your build prop with Root Explorer you will boot loop! Root Explorer opens the G3/G4 build prop in a TRuncated mode because the file is too large and when you save that file it will only save the available truncated portion, BE CAREFUL AND PAY ATTENTION. Setting to 540 dpi will not effect anything on your device, all other posts and problems are due to other issues. Please read and save yourself the KDZ flash time, friends.
Thank you

It doesn't require root.
Enable developer mode, and usb debugging.
Use Minimal adb and fastboot
open the folder
shift right click open command prompt from there
type adb shell wm density 540
This works on any device without root

I did 540 dpi today and I have to say I really like it. Everything is a bit smaller now, it has more like a tablet feel rather than a phone. But you get quite a bit more content on the screen, and for myself it's the perfect balance between readability and usability.

Yup this is how I do it. Lowering the DPI was one of the main reasons why I wanted root. Now I don't even care about root. I love the LG software and tweaks so there is not much I would change. I do like some XPOSED Status bar tweaks to do center clock and hide some of the million icons (alarm, nfc, location, vpn, 4G/3G, Cellular strength, WiFi etc.). LG goes overboard with icons man. I just want a 4G/3G+Signal & Battery OR WiFi & Battery. 2 icons max. Plus a clock of course... an option for a Center clock would be awesome.

There is a big difference changing dpi with adb shell wm density vs texdroider_dpi app. For me at least, when i change dpi with adb shell, some apps don't work right, like:
ebay: the menu that shows your profile pic and links to home watching, etc is screwed up
amazon: product pics, when you enlarge, you can't zoom in & out, can only see the top left corner
tinycam: on a single camera view, the video feed is zoome in about 10x
with textdroider, all of those apps work properly. Did anyone else experience this?
I have done 530 with adb command, but not with texdroider, is it safe to change to 530 with texdroider?

They should both be the same output. Although not all density settings are equal. Some settings cause weird issues like what you posted. I think I use 540 and don't experience anything weird.

App icons on Dock are cropped after oreo update

This didn't help but thnx anyways.... I did factory reset and it helped but once I changed view mode to small it happened again. I don't know if it's happening only to me or it's a general oreo UI bug. Please comment and let me know.

This happened even for me. But the names of app are cropped for me. I'm living with the bug as I'm unable format my phone due to data thts on the memory..???

Oreo bug. We're all dealing with it. For me a reset resolved it though. Other ****ty bugs include slower fast charging, faster battery drain and poor thermal optimisation.

No round corners - what round corners you are referring to ?
Brightness issues - the brightness issues such? for me I notice that the brightness is significantly reduce when u reduce the brightness to the lowest
No digital dashboard - if you are referring to digital wellbeing , you need to download it from playstore first after update to PIE.

This corners not rounded as in pixel phones and also why the color isn't just blue like pixel istead of this strange color!!

No text copying from recent apps screen like pixel

For brightness I have to slide it for about 45% to get the same brightness as 20% in oreo and for sure it's more battery consuming!

The rounded corners thing is true, notification shade and quick actions are not as rounded as Pixel and you can't select text from an Overview/recent apps. But you can always flash custom ROM if you're not satisfied. I personally like it and, performance-wise, it works great. Once they polish these bugs, it will be even better experience.

The corners are rounded because the phone's screen has rounded edges..Unless you mean about another thing... What do you mean with digital dashboard? If you mean Digital WellBeing you might need to join their beta. I had no problems with the brightness.. the only problems I had is with the camera and I had one time when the recent screen was stuck for 4 seconds

even cleaning cache and forced ... after opening again the cam will show the same message. Dont know if its fault of last update to PIE.
But only stock camera, with any other camera app from playstore, will work ok... just the stock wont work.

Always On Display (AOD) - Strange Color Problem

Hi Volks,
I have a strange problem with my A70s Always On Display (AOD). When I set the color of the clock (regardless of the clocks face) to light grey (upper leftmost color in the color selection screen) it shows the correct color in the preview picture in settings but actually displays the parts of the clocks face that should be grey in BLUE!!? Has anyone else faced this issue? Does anyone know where AOD reads its settings from?

sameeeeeeeeeeee

same here. i learned to live with it. if i remember correctly i posted about this quite some time ago but no one helped me.
so here i am living a blue amoled. sucks.:crying::crying:
but for me this happens only when i flash twrp n root using magisk.
if i stay unrooted the display remains OK.
i have the FN model.
though some times the display starts working properly but only till next lock

Same here, but it disappeared all of a sudden after some time. Now on November update (manually flashed), and AOD works like it should

You flashed 4ASK6, TWRP to recovery and rooted with Magisk?
// update:
I flashed the November Update (4ASK6) and rooted with Magisk using the vanilla method of patching the AF-file. It seems like the version of TWRP by Grarak is no longer able to decrypt the data partition. AOD is back to normal.

May be its off topic, try this AOD+ on https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-6-0-aod-display-rooted-rooted-t4082935

Just my two cents
Try to adjust display tone towards warm if it's too. Blue.

Question 12 "Stable" Issues Thread

Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!

Another botched update from oneplus scams

Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???

- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.

App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?

it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12

Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.

Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...

Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.

I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.

Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?

I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.

Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached

Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.

Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.

I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.
