3)Change the Dpi setting to '160' or 180' ,..then change your Resolution to 480x854 ,,strictly dont change the dpi to other than 160 or 180,,otherwise you will get annoying display ,,if you want ,,go ahead then,,no prob,,you can revert it

not working !
widgets still big
Widget not working? as you can see i said at the statement above 'For other app(Choose your app like Movies,facebook etc' ..that mean widget including ..Try to change it to 160,or 180 ,,and keep the resolution default,,hope i help you..it work for me ,,thanks for viewing my thread ,chikrron
Do we have to set it for each app ?, Gonna try it in few minutes.
Yep ..if you want to change entire of the phone DPi,,it it possiblee,,but your phone might occured some problem like ,,Keyboard oversize,walkman oversize ,,etc,,,you can easily change the entire dpi by using 'Pimp my ROM' , thanks for viewing my thread damian, hit 'THANKS' if i help you in any way

If you want to make all Rom to 160 dpi, just open build.prop and edit the line from 240 to what you want like 160, then just reboot and see if you like it.

Oh ya,,sorry about that bros,,.if you want to change entire DPi ,,,try PIMPMYROM ,,it available on playstore swipe through pimpmyrom until you found 'DensityChanger' ..change it to 160 or 180 ...you're good to go
Note:Some of the application might oversize,,,but you can change the DPi of the application by using 'applicationsetting' ,,

We are not getting the results
Like You lol
Yee... Tell us how to make it. First I want to try on launcher then maybe on entire phone.
Guys, if you want to change the DPI for the system UI, search in App Settings for the System UI app (the one with the smiling jelly bean icon), change to 160 or 180, or even 200, and set a 480x854 resolution, then you need to reboot. This will make the status bar smaller (and the navbar wider), however, there will be a gap between the missing bar space and the apps. You could try to change other apps to the same DPI resolution.
Of course, you can also try modifying the build.prop but this is more risky and it may cause a bootlop.
I change in build.prop to 210 and works fine!

Well ..,if you change the density,,the tiles will small,,that will make the icons not so HD,,,and the navigation bar and status bar missing or? you phone look like a kitkat now though
Icons are a little bit blury.
For status bar i'm using Gravity Box, and replacement for navigation bar is LMT launcher very fast and easy to use with "pie" control
Are you sure it works with pimp my room? is there any harm from it?

Ive just installed the tool LCDDensity from Market
Ive tested 160dpi, 200dpi and 280dpi... with the app, and 192dpi manually... why 192 ? its 480/2.5
The 160dpi is buggy (status bar), and 280 make all fonts biggers.... but... 200dpi... its amazing, its like a new phone ! all seems more clear and scrolling faster...
Please see the screen shot and give it a try...
BUT, there is a but... The Phone App (when you click on Phone icon) in my 3.4.2-164 will auto close in 160 and 200dpi. All others apps are working, Contacts, SMS, market and Browser
So, i need to find an alternative (working) Phone app... Where could i find that ?
EDIT: In fact phone app is working if you use the missed call notification in status... Only the first tab "Dialer" will close the app, but you can use Contact list... or Recent List and its working..
to set the setting permanent on reboot :
edit /data/local.prop and add
Code:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=192
Warning: dont change in local.prop the similar ro.sf.lcddensity which will not works
Also 100dpi will not works (in fact, just prevent the screen init, your phone is running without screen)

Use Dialer One from Market.
Great Dialer.
180dpi is looking good too, only a small "pixel" is missing in menus font tried to reinstall BlurDialer and now app is missing ://
dpi setting is not saved on reboot with LCDDensity
I've found the best setting to be 200. Dialer still works with mine.

192 is ok for menu fonts
the app is fine but it's not only the stock dialer, CalWidget also bugs with it
For me, editing data/local.prop is not a permanent change. However, editing system/build.prop is persistent across reboots.
My stock dialer works fine.
184 dpi also works (better than 180)
i don't even see ANY difference?
If you do not see any difference, perhaps you are not editing the right file. If it is the right file, you may have mis-typed something.
Note that you would have to reboot your system before the file is parsed/the new settings are used.
i edited nothing, just used the app
Then I suggest you contact the author of the application or read any info/documentation provided about the application.
This thread is not about that app, but about making a manual change, to a system file.
Best of luck.
What does this do exactly ? Is everything smaller ? Bigger ? Easier to read ?

Hey i been trying for a while to get googles stock ICS lockscreen on my rom im making.
So i tried to just rename the lg lockscreen with a .bak at the end (to just basicaly disable it) and i do get the ICS lock screen.
But i get a grey area at the bottom of my screen plus it has no background its just what i was on before i locked it.
Then i can also press the home key and it unlocks my phone so its pretty useless.
Does anyone know if there is an APK that i can overwrite my current lg lock screen with? Or a way to get the way i tried to work properly?
Thanks

Okay i just tried that method it not transparent anymore but now there is still a grey block along the bottom of the lock screen and also i can also just press the option button to unlock. is there anthing else i can do?
Screenshot ?
Lol 0% progress no time lol been busy studying exams start next week hehe if i mod anything imma end up writing .smali code in the exam .
You Could try Change Density to 219 Makes the screen Look Bigger plus i could swear at that density the 3D is much clearer like the sweetspot has expanded then again i haven't used the 3D Function in a long time maybe it has always been like that
Pics below also disabling OSP gave me more free ram
Changing density might prevent some applications from playstore to install.(at least that used to happen in gingerbread)

AFAI Can tell 219 Everything work like it should
A whole bunch of categories and apps would disappear for me like a bunch of Google apps and such.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
It doesnt happen immediately.
For example (if i remember well) some of the apps that weren't anymore available for me was dolphin browser, ulleese speedometer and a few others... dont remember most of them because i havent played with dpi for more than a year.
You will get a message from playstore telling you that the application is not available for your device (although it normally is).
Sorry about the long time to reply but here is the screenshot with the grey bar.

I would recommend against editing the dpi. For one, it breaks the Android CTS requirements ("Device implementations MUST use only displays with a single static configuration. That is, device implementations MUST NOT enable multiple screen configurations. For instance, since a typical television supports multiple resolutions such as 1080p, 720p, and so on, this configuration is not compatible with Android 2.3"), and furthermore as others have said it makes a bunch of apps from Google Play vanish.
Emmm lol what was the default DPI again I forgot

Decompile Lockcreen Look for that graphic remove it . it also might be just some color overlay set it to black Alpha 0 if its RGBA should be Fully transparent what color to search for 9ba2ac
Located @ 1, 744px 1,800px 480,771px 480,800px
I have hyperdrive with xposed DPI adjuster. I got every thing to work except the MID PHONE CALL resolution right . the reason for it not right is because I have navbar on.
I tried adjusting contacts apk, phone apk, and almost everything that has these two words in it with no luck
Again my problem is mid phone call
Please see attached pic.
Thanks !
It really bothers me that all of the Samsung apps don't scale. I've been browsing through the decompiled camera app to see if I can find a way to resize the bastard.

Proceed with caution, and make a backup. Altering DPI can really jack things up. I wouldn't go any lower than 241 DPI. That said, open your favorite root file explorer (es file explorer is my favorite) and navigate to the 'system' folder from the root of your device. In system, you'll see a file named build.prop. Open build.prop with a text editor and find the line that says something like: ro.sl.LCD.density=320 (it's most likely gonna be the only instance of the number 320 in your build.prop) and change to 280 (the lower the number, the smaller everything appears), save/reboot/profit. Good luck

I made a launcher. Its in the OP. I dont see why it should look any different than Xposed though. On 220 DPI, the launcher I posted will look exactly like the stock launcher looks at stock DPI. If you want one with smaller app icons, I can make that.

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd post my finding as I was looking for a good DPI changer for a while now. I tried quite a number of well-rated apps and even edited my build.prop but nothing really properly changed the DPI.
I finally found Easy DPI Changer and I'm very happy with it. :victory: :laugh: Other apps usually messed up the navigation bar and that just freaked my mind. I havent run a lot of apps after changing my DPI with this app so I'm not sure if it messed up some apps but as soon as I saw that the navigation bar was properly aligned and that the DPI changes worked in Settings and ES File Explorer I figured I need to share this with you guys. I'm not the developer of this so I do not take any credit for his/their work.
I applied the DPI changes on my L29 running B320. I've attached some screenshots for you guys as well. I first changed the "View Mode" in "Settings" to "Large" (that might be why the navigation bar is properly aligned), restarted and then changed the DPI. If I remember correctly I set mine to 320. I read on some posts that 320 is the minimum you can set it to for the Mate 8; not sure how true that is but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
To the guys at chornerman_studio, thank you for this great app! :good:
