I want to know how to change the Lcd Density from 160 to 140. Im using Zpad clean rom. I Went to System/Build.prop and I didnt see the Ro.density text or what ever it is. LCD Density for root works but it resets after restart. Anyone know how?
Figured it out. In system/Build.prop using Root Explorer I just made my own line and put ro.sf.lcd_density=140 and then saved and rebooted the tablet. Seems to have worked. If somone decides to change density like this dont forget to make a backup just in case.
EDIT: EHHH. Slide down bar was buggy and pissed me off and some apps wher windowed a bit so i gave in and just bought LCD Density changer from Market for a buck and use that. Works great.

works well for me by changing the system/build.prop to 140.
Changed to 140 also and it makes some apps not fill screen but not a big hitter actually see more on screen with browsers and other apps. Especially with apps like settings and ROM Manager, etc....
Also went down and trying currently at 130. Here are screen shots of what it is like at default and 130. I kind of like seeing more of the screen.
Here are the setting I used in the build.prop file
ro.sf.lcd_density=130
Running Vegan 5.1 here are screenshots before and after
Screenshots below default and 130 settings:
Yeh lcd density app same as just changing it in build.prop. Slide down bar not full screen anymore when set too 140 on zpad clean rom. Wonder why.. Hmmm... worked b4 so now no point in the app except faster changes. Oh well.
Have you checked Spare Parts app to see if you have "Compatibility Mode" checked or unchecked?
I believe Unchecked should open things back to full screen.
I unchecked compatibility it at 130 and 140. No effect to Android notifications.
My phone stopped auto rotating for me which kind of makes things harder when I'm trying to send a fast SMS or something.
I've refreshed the settings through 2 apps and the phone settings menu. Its also not auto rotating for any of my keyboards.
Does anyone know how one might resolve this issue?

You must reinstall the rom, or just check the auto rotating option in the settings.
My lockscreen disappeared a few days after flashing Tweaked 2.1. When you push the wake button the screens flickers then goes black. To wake the phone you then touch the black screen after the flicker and it wakes to the desktop. Would flashing the rom again help? I made sure I do not have the disable lockscreen option selected.

Try rebooting first ...
And if that doesn't work
Then flash the rom over the top....

Crazy stuff man. I found the problem. It was the new miui launcher in the market that was causing the issue even though that wasn't my default launcher. Uninstalled and lockscreen came back.

For some reason, LG likes to stick with 640 dpi as their default. Personally, I prefer 560 dpi on a screen this size.
Anyway, one can usually use adb command to change the dpi. However, on the V10, it looks like trying to use any dpi other than 560 results in System UI crashing constantly.
Don't make the mistake I did. I'm completely stock and changed the DPI without saving the SSH key in USB debugging. Hence, after a reboot System UI crashed constantly and I could reconnect via ADB because the confirmation dialog couldn't be shown. Ended up having to Factory Reset via buttons. (Power + Vol Down, Release Power then Hold Power again when LG logo appears.)
Thank you sir.

Check the camera out after you do it.
using a non rooted method can be flakey going by G4 experiences.
This is becoming a problem on other larger screen devices as well, the UI is made as if its for a smaller screen just blown up.
I finally installed xposed today and with the App Settings module, you can set the DPI per app instead of system wide. I set the home launcher to 600 and it's been fine so far. I prefer 540 but haven't tried it yet. I also changed call setting from second screen to pop up so the second screen doesn't FC when receiving a call. Hopefully this module will help others who don't like the giant icons on the default 640 setting.
You can install Xposed without being rooted? That's news to me
*Edit* My bad, just seen tmobile is rooted
@Raztrax how did you change the setting for the second screen to pop up?

Just changed my dpi to 480 on Nova.

This could be a temporary fix
Runing Nova try: "Adb shell wm density 550". Works like a charm! (As long as you dont reboot)
If you do reboot, wait for the UI to FC and then change DPI back to 640 wait for the boot to finish and then change it back to 550. Nothing is broken. You do get some minor changes in the date at the second screen but it still works perfectly.

You can get around the issue by using the APP Settings app from xposed. Search System UI, change it to 640 and save. Then use Textdroider, and enter the DPI of your choice. When you restart, your system UI will still be 640 and won't crash, but the rest of your apps will be the DPI you chose.
I personally like the big icons all around even on the battery icon and signal icons and I'm not sure why they shrinked the ui in this phone completely because everything looks so small even the apps anyone know how to make it all bigger?

What happens if your phone restarts and you aren't at a PC? How do you set the DPI back to 640 to get it to boot all the way?

I tried the App Settings in the Xposed Downloads area, and the 1.11v made by someone on XDA for Lollipop (apparently 1.10 doesn't support LP). I tried changing the camera app back to 640 DPI using both apps but neither worked. Which version are you using and exactly how are you doing it? Once I changed my DPI with Texdroider, I had to go through hell of restoring the phone (reflashing system.img - the build.prop backup didn't work at all for some reason). Also what DPI are you using?
@Nitemare3219-What are you trying to change? If you change the dpi of Nova (haven't tried stock launcher yet), you can do so with Nova. I have mine set at 480, no issues at all.

When I was messing with DPI (shell wm density) I tried keeping the Camera app at 640 - didn't seem to work. I'm not sure if I should be trying to use wm density or a DPI app to change build.prop. Going to test both I guess since I'm about to make a backup.
Editing the build.prop didn't work for me, I haven't tried the other way yet, as I'm happy with changing dpi of Nova.

Launcher is the last thing I needed changed. Apps weren't showing enough stuff at all! lol. After installing Xposed and using App Settings (worked this time - get v1.11 from XDA for Lollipop) to keep certain system apps including systemui and secondscreen at 640 DPI, I used adb shell wm density 540 which affects the rest of the phone. So my apps and such are showing a lot more, but the phone has no issues working normally.
I've changed Nova and my browsers (480). Any idea what would happen if I changed Wm density after changing the apps dpi?

Is this possible on the G5?

I don't think is possible since it requires build.prop tweak

you should be able to do the adb shell size or density not rooted... may cause issues with bootloops though so watch out...
theres also a toggle under the settings-home for a larger grid on the stock launcher which essentially makes it larger however unlike a samsung phone this setting doesn't reflect if you are using another launcher other than stock
'adb shell wm density XXX' did work for me, but unfortunately the only density I can get to work other than the default 640 is 540. Any other usual value causes the com.android.phone app to crash repeatedly.

adb shell wm size should work and not cause app crashes... only issue with it is that you have to keep messing with it to find the best setting
I wanted to try this, but I'm not seeing anything when I enter "adb devices". I can browse my phone through Windows explorer though.

I figured it out, turn on USB Tethering.
Edit: You can also set USB mode to Midi Device.
using this method messes up many applications, including the Always-on Display.
have to edit the build.prop file to change it properly.
560 works fine for me. Only slight issue is the maps navigation popup for turning. The icons a little off center
