Screen DPI

Im planning to purchase pixel XL but as i don't know if will be possible to root and change dpi. Does any of u know whats the screen DPI?
Thanks.

You can change the DPI within system settings now. I believe the lowest setting equates to something like 500-520. You can of course root, or just use the adb shell wm density command to change without root.

Is this the same as "settings" --> "Display" --> "Display size"? Sure does seem it.

I was thinking the same thing. I set my display size to the smallest available, but it seems like I can make icons/text even smaller with further adjustments which is nice. I think smallest made my DPI 484. I made it slightly higher to 526.
I know this is out of place but is a quick question seeing as it dies apply to one of my two devices, I have two Samsung Galaxy Note 3's (SM-N900), one is stock (no rooted), the other I'm running a smooth 7.1 Nougat Pixel XL rom.
My question:
Can I use the adb shell wm density command to change without root on my stock note 3?

Yes me too facing this issue and also icon label just showing up ( not fully) just above the navigation bar when I turn on Navigation dock.
Easy fix to solve this issue;
Go to display settings
Click screen resolution
Click OFF smart resolution
In CUSTOM-change resolution to 2k (highest) and let it refresh (the key is to change the resolution to native state once)
The issue is fixed
You can go back to display settings and enable smart resolution without any issues

U can use a new navigation bar developed by XDA . It's very fluid and iPhone like navigation.

How to change your DPI settings to take advantage of the big screen

1. Settings.
2. System
3. About
4. Tap Build Number 10 times, until you are a developer.
5. System - Developer options
6. Drawing - Smallest Width #.
There are several guides on which DPI settings to use if you search, but I prefer around 600-640 to take advantage of the big screen. I hope this guide is helpful for some of you who weren't aware of this option. :highfive:

Ok but the notification tray and toggles are so big because seems to be unnafected by DPI change.

I set my on 485 dpi Honor Note 10 value. Yeah to bad that notification tray and toggles are still big and don't change. It also resets after reboot.
Doesn't this also mess up the app icons?

What DPI do you like? Lower?
I noticed today that I hadn't set the sizes in Display Settings first, to a smaller font, and then in developer options the DPI. The smaller font made a big difference, but is easy to overlook. I'm at 600 now, and everything works and looks fine. :cyclops:

I like 600 too as it sets it to tablet mode and since we are in tablet territory on screen size why not.

My eyes couldn't see that,, man I'm to old
My dpi change keeps resetting back to default... How do I stop this from happening?
It will reset every time you reboot the device. Also when you change the display settings it may revert back to normal.

why u would do it when u have ''view mode'' in display settings ? and text size too ???

Because even with Display Size at it's smallest setting it's still pretty big.

Definitely not! I keep the font at large, but set the screen width at 540, which is good for me.

This is where Huawei neuteres Android. Change the smallest width setting and it is reset every time you restart the phone. The Android System and some of the SystemUI elements don't even change when setting a higher number. Once you're rooted you're better off editing the build.prop in vendor and adding the qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx line in to get everything to change like it's supposed to. Be careful not to go too low on the density or else EMUI glitches out to the point where your lockscreen will no longer function. It's one of the things about EMUI that really irks me and instead of Huawei fixing the issue they just seem to ignore it. That and not being able to move the wifi and data icons to the right where they should be.
We need root soon. Changing the width in developers options messes with some apps. Also, the navigation bar at the bottom doesn't change which blocks the exit button in my trading app. Quite annoying.

Are you using any font that is installed externally? If that is the case, then change the font to default and see.
If thats not the case, try changing the text sizes and check.

It is an option that says Smallest width or something like that. It has a number underneath that you can increase or decrease to change the dpi. Try it.
