I thought i would share that at lease the per app DPI was working on CleanROM 3.2.
I was able to change the playstore, Email, and Gmail to a 160 DPI with no ill effects, coming from a 240 DPI.
get the framework apps from here, http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ i am using the Xposed App Settings to change my dpi per app
Wonder if this will let me get FIFA, real racing 2 or nba jam?

If you try it, please let me know! I'd be very interested in this!
This must take more work than I was expecting, first you install the expose, then a module.
Would you mind telling us what module you used for the play store?
Just realized the module was not on the OP in the other thread.
from here, http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ i downloaded Xposed App Settings
Yeah, from the Xposed app, choose Google Play Store (com.android.vending) set the DPI to 160, and check the tablet box, leave the resolution as default and save it, it will ask to kill the task let it. After that go back to the app selection and choose Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf) and give it the same settings, save it, let it kill the task.
Doing this wont change what is available on the Play Store.

You're absolutely right, but http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/all-apps-in-play-store.5522/ may fix that IF the restriction is not country-based, but DPI-based. Might give it a try.

Greetings!
I made one post about a Nova 3 profile and someone suggest creating a thread just to share these profiles and I think it is fantastic idea for our Galaxy Note so here it is.
I only have one right now, and it is not really that excellent but I am going to be working on more and keep adding them of course.
But I wanted to get it started so..if you want to share yours...please do.
Here is a youtube guide I did for anyone not sure on how to create them.
It is a basic guide but it gives you an idea
Youtube Guide
To use the Profiles with Sixaxis, just unzip the file to the \sdcard\data\com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontro ller\profiles folder.
Game Videos from my youtube channel:
Max Payne
Nova 3
You need to include what dpi your phone is.
Touch profiles on 320dpi may not work on for instance 240dpi.
Especially Paranoid Users.

Thanks. I am running stock DPI at the moment. I used to run lower DPI on my captivate and really liked it so maybe I need to try on this one too.
Max Payne Profile added and a youtube HD video preview is uploading as well.
Maybe its my dpi, but Max Payne controls aren't all mapped. There is no jump or information/interact button.
Could be. Im running stocky dpi, sorry.
What controls are supposed to do what?
For Max Payne very basic, left analog moves you around and right one is the camera control then triangle is for using the slow-motion then square fires and Cross is for jumping. I didn't add anything else.
The Dark Knight Rises profile added.

I need one bro...was trying to make one but its all messed up
can someone upload for dead trigger?
Dead Trigger profile (320 DPI)
I've made it so it's more like FPS controls on the PS3.
Fire: R1
Aim: L1
Reload: Circle
Pause: Start
Health: Triangle (may not work if you have more than one item in use)
Remember to check "Enable Gamepad" in the SixAxis settings.
Just remove ".zip" by renaming the file. It's not a zip file.
Edit: Added GTA3 profile.

Stock DPI can mean anything.
I know you mean to say 320 dpi, which the NOTE ships with.
You should include it in the OP.
Anyways I wanted to ask what HD games are worth getting?
-GTA 3 and Dead Trigger are high on the agenda.
Is Nova3 captivating, or is it a little dull. Reviews on YouTube aren't so great, that's why I ask. What games do you need ChainFire3D and do they work smooth on regular setup (1.4GHz, any kernel/rom).
Cheers
hi. i was wondering if it is possible to change the DPI of this phone...
i play a game called heroes of order and chaos and before this phone i had galaxy s2, where the screen was smaller, and it was easier to play the game cause the skills buttons were larger cause of the screen resolution.
is it possible to change the DPI? or maybe just the DPI of the game app?

Yes there's apps to do it (like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi), personally I do it with build.prop myself. Find the line ro.sf.lcd_density= and put in the number you want, 240 is what I used to use but now I do 200. If you install Xposed, there is a module called App Settings that will allow you to do it on a per app basis, I use this on my roomies' S5 to keep the Sammy apps from borking.

i got this phone 4 days ago i still dont know so much about it so i dont want take risk, even so cause i already rooted my phone and i lost the warranty and i dont want to screw him up

The build.prop is found in /system and that is the file that textdroider would change, so whether you change it manually or through an app it will have the same outcome.
I've never had a bootloop from a dpi change on the Motorola, the S2 would be different because Samsung apps and Touchwiz only play nice with the stock DPI. As with any system change, you should backup if you are worried about it
Does anyone know how to fix the problem when you change the dpi on your phone, some apps wont show up because playstore thinks its not the right devoce for the app??
I usually set my dpi to 380-400... I like the smaller icons/fonts while having more screen space..
I tried setting the back to 480 and clearing cache from playstore and frame service and rebooted... But it didnt work... How long do I need to wait for the Playstore to update or is there another way around so I dont have to reset the dpi back to default..
Thanks

There is an xposed module called play store fixes for this very thing. Might be worth a shot but I don't know of it works in the new play store.

Hello guys, I've a problem with my playstore, some apps I can't install from it because it says that is not compatible.... Maybe is the new dpi (380), but if is this problem how can I fix it? And if it isn't the problem what can I do?
Return to stock DPI
Thats the problem if you change the xml file manually... change back to stock dpi and clear playstore cache...
You can install Xposed and there is a module called app settings, that you can set the DPI per app, or there is another module called Play Store Fixes that will do just what you want, or else as mentioned before, go back to stock DPI, I personally use mine in 400 and haven't had any issues.

This is what I did
Used app settings module in xposed
Don't touch any other setting just type in 480 for DPI for Google play store and hit save
My DPI is at 400 app store is at 480 and I can use all apps ( I did a test with real racer 3 )
//edit
I made a mistake, my DPI for phone is 400 and my DPI for Google play store and others is also 400. See my post below for details. I also attached proof that it works

See my attached screenshot
Using the xposed module I mentioned, change the DPI to 400 for the following:
Google play store
Google play services
Google play framework
Clear cache for all 3 in settings> apps
Reboot
Done
Not exactly sure if you must change DPI for all 3 or just some, but when I was googling around I saw ppl mention those ones so that's what I did too and it works fine
I made a mistake in my original post, I updated it
My phone and above app DPI is 400

If your phone dpi is set to 400 (which sets ALL system and user app to 400) why would u use xposed to set dpi to same 400 again ? I dont get it

I'm still playing around with it and haven't finalized it. I'm at 380 right now for example.
The point is you clearly don't have to have the stock DPI to get stuff from the Play Store. You said FIFA 15 wouldn't be found to another user, but it was indeed found using the method I said. It should solve the OP's question.

Just in case, FIFA will be found until Play Store updates or refreshes database or whatever it does. If I change dpi right now, everyrhing will work too, then will stop.
Play Store only works at 480, not 380 or 400
U still don't believe me even after I posted a screenshot?
OK I'll see what happens I guess in a week or so that should be enough for the play store to do "whatever it does"..

Not that I'm aware of yet since xposed doesn't work on android L as of yet. I sure hope they figure out how to make xposed work on ART by the time cm12s or something else officially is released lol
So, there isn't a way to solve?

I tried it on previous play store versions (and different phone) and it didnt work, perhups it works now, i havent tested yet. What i dont get is why you set Play Store to 400 when it clearly not working for anyone at anything but 480. If anything, you supposes to set all system to whatever you like and Play Store to 480.
It would be nice if someone else tried doing it your way etc since i dont have time to test it.

I think the YouTube you're thinking of is called OG YouTube.
As for black email clients, I've been using the Samsung one. It's a little different to get used to but not bad.
Bromite, open source Chromium without Google's crap, if you care about that
Newpipe, very lightweight YouTube client with downloads and dark mode.

even though download doesn't actually work for me. never seen the option even

For email im using TypeApp which has a dark theme and fairly customizeable appearance and can support multiple email accounts. Its not on f-droid however so if you dont have/want to use google play store you may be able to find the APK for it online.
If you use the hex theme creator it sets gmail background to whatever you themed background colour to.

If you personalise, setup the colours and settings you want. Then at the bottom build theme. Once that has finished, go to theme store and apply the hex theme.
Gmail, Google Photos, Play store and some others will theme.
The only issue I have found is multiple accounts in gmail I have to select the account swipe out of the app and back in every time I change account.

Interesting, I'll have a thorough look at the app hopefully it's as simple as you make it out to be. Cuz it comes packaged with two apps one being the theme selection store and then one of your own personal customisation. Also do you have to reapply the themes after every boot up? Or after every update do you have to uninstall each overlays like substratum if you wish to update?

Forget to mention that you need to turn on night mode in the hex app.
No the theme stays there all the time, when you make changes though, it seems that you have to apply the default theme then apply hex theme again.
