hey guys,
i tried to change dpi from 160 to 170 and buttons dissapeared..anyone else experienced that?
Someone correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the gingerbread interface come back when you go above a dpi of 170?
This could be that case...
that's about right,because i saw the gingerbread lockscreen when i did so..dunno why though lol
I went other way round, i changed dpi to 120 trying to put more icons on the Screen but end up the shortcut launcher buttons all misaligned. I reverted back to 160.

Is anyone else having problems with wallpaper on Launcher Pro? Using the default launcher, the wallpaper scales down to the size I set. Launcher Pro keeps it HUGE and cannot be adjusted no matter what the resolution is.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, it happens basically with any launcher that is non stock. theres apps that can fix the problem, but seems like a quirk that we're stuck with

So I was having the same problem and figured out what causes it, and a way to generally avoid it.
what seems to be causing it: Allowing home screen rotation. It appears that as soon as you rotate, Launcher pro resizes the wp to that pixelated mess, and will not revert it back once returning to portrait. I've had it happen also while going to the home screen while having the browser in landscape
to prevent: from home screen click menu / preferences / behavior settings / -> and make sure "enable auto rotation" is unchecked. (don't worry you can still rotate in apps by activating the rotation setting in the notification bar, unchecking that box just prevents the home screen rotation)
to fix your current messed up wallpaper: click menu / settings / applications / manage applications / -> click launcher pro / click clear defaults.
this will allow you to activate touchwiz again. So hit the home screen button and select TW to complete that action. after it's done try setting your wp again. Go ahead and reset launcher pro as your default now and your wp should still look good. You should now be able to crop new wp's and have them look fine too.
you shouldnt have to do this again
all set!
That did the trick. Thanks!
I tried that but it didn't work on my evo 3d
there is another work around
open the pic you want to use
rotate your phone to landscape mode
set your wallpaper using the landscape square, not the narrow one. Let it finish.
rotate your phone back to normal
your WP should now not be that pixelated mess
Can someone else who has their lcd density changed see if they can open the wifi calling app from the app drawer? When I have mine set to anything lower than the default 240 the wifi calling app force closes when I try and open it. If I set it back to 240 it opens fine. I tried this on my "as shipped" rooted rom, and a fresh install of the deodexed prerooted rom. Both work at 240 then crash when I set it lower.
The funny thing is that when i go in a area with no signal while on wifi, the wifi calling app icon comes up on the notification bar and it seems to work, i can make and receive calls and my sms's come through.
Can anyone else try this and see if they get the same results with the app force closing?

I haven't tried it, but have you rebooted after getting the forceclose? my guess is a reboot will fix.
Rebooting doesn't help. The app won't open unless the density is set to the default 240

Confirmed here. It stays open in the bar, but won't open when clicked on. Does it still function or does it break wifi calling?
It still routes everything over wifi if the icon is in the notification bar.
I can also confirm that calls and sms go through wifi as long as the icon is present.
On a different note, does anyone notice that when changing the density below 240, some text doesn't get resized properly? An example would be menu text or status text in gchat. The text seems to be vertically cut off.
I tried doing a global change down to 480, but the edge screen didn't like the change. I was hoping it would allow me to add more apps to it without requiring me to slide up and down.
I imagine there are settings somewhere that tell the edge screen how "tall" it should be. Anyone try this?
Try looking for it in app settings?
Touchwiz is crashing on me for some reason. What is the default dpi for our note edge?

640.
For now I am adjusting individual apps which is working well. Hopefully we can find a way to change the edge screen too.
I literally just posted this thread before I saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/mod-build-prop-modifications-t2975681
I made changes in the build.prop file to switch around the dpi which affects the edge screen too. Unfortunately although after the change it looks like the edge screen could fit more onto each screen but the software doesn't allow it.
For example in the primary edge screen you can fit 7 rows of apps before it fills up. After dpi change it looks like you can fit 8 or 9 rows but touchwiz just still makes you scroll after 7 which I found was annoying.
I need nova launcher to come up with something for the edge so that I have full control over the edge panel
Also changing dpi seems to crash video mode and mess with the camera app...
Any fix for edge screen dpi
Has anyone used a root app or xposed module to change the DPI? Did you find anything that works well?
I was thinking we could change the DPI to solve the problem of gboard not being split when unfolded, but then I realized that might not work when the phone is folded.
I changed dpi without root in developer settings. Everything runs flawless. GBoard splits automatically in landscape mode when unfolded

What DPI does it need to be set to work?
I am using 492

so you are saying as soon as you unfold the phone gboard splits? right now the only way to get it to split is to onfold and rotate
I have mine already set this way in dev settings as well at 421. will try 492 and see if there is any difference
EDIT - just changed. definitely no difference in gboard unless you rotate which is how it has always been when unfolded. what I did realize though is that you can set the DPI in dev settings for folded and unfolded it seems. playing around with it though I still have not found a value that auto splits the keyboard when unfolded in portrait state
Microsoft Swiftkey has the toggle to turn on split mode and that is fine for unfolded portrait and landscape but unfortunately it then stays in split mode on the folded screen making it unusable in that state.

yep, would be perfect if it wasn't split in unfolded screen
Also if you open the screen and set the DPI for the big screen I just plus 100 dpi on what it is as default its perfect. So there are 2 DPI settings one with screen folded and the other with screen unfolded
What is the default DPI for cover screen? I changed mine by mistake thinking it would change both screen. Then I found out they have different DPI for each display.
Should be 411dpi

Much appreciated!
Can someone confirm stock dpi with screen folded cause i changed it and now my screen is smaller than before.
Go to
Settings > additional settings> accessibility> vision >
Change display size to s or m it will set to default dpi size
Hi,
Does anyone faces this issue?
I have moved the app icons to the layout that I want and also lock the home screen layout.
However, the icons will still shift on its own to another page after a reboot. Then when I try to shift it back, it said the home screen is locked. Its weird that I cannot move the icons but the phone can move the icons even though the home screen layout is locked.
