Is it possible to add a feature to change DPI setings, like Paranoid Android?

I'd like to see this too cause I like to play around, but to me it's low priority cause you can do it via the goo manager app too...
Say what? Goo manager changing dpi?

Yeah, I'd love to see that feature too, editing build.prop manually is a gargantuan effort.
This is something that we are planning to do and is on the list
Most OEMs (and Google) don't seem to manage to use the correct DPI for devices...
We'll put that right

Hello @pulser_g2,
Can you, or XplodWild add please also the option on Alarm that dismiss the alarm when the phone is flipped with the display down. This was a feature in CM10.2, see here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/29894/.
I will appreciate if you can add this to alarm.
Thank you very much.

For the mean time, Andromizer works for me to change overall dpi setting.
I have not tried Xposed yet on OMNI, but on other ROM's i've used the app-settings module to set dpi per app.

I use Xposed and the app settings module and can confirm it works perfectly for the dpi settings on all apps I've tried. The immersive mode option in the app is still a little buggy, but using force full screen works and gives the same effect.
Use romtoolbox pro. it work for me.

No need for apps. Just edit build.prop.
And Xposed seems to hate ART as of now I'd note for other readers of this thread.
Not recommended
Is not recommended option.

I know at this stage it's just on the to do list but could you elaborate on it. For example. would it just be changing the global DPI, or on a per app basis, or even better have it like Paranoid Android where you can change the DPI of certain things like navigation bar, status bar, lockscreen, phablet UI (No more tabletUI in Kitkat IIRC) etc.

Hi,
I have just remembered this app, I share it here:
Description
This application will let you change the SoftKeys / Navigation Buttons fast and easily. This app comes with more than 150+ different soft-buttons to choose from and more will be added with every update. If you got some navigation buttons you would like to see in this app just write an email about it. Until I've added them, you can just use the import feature for these soft keys. This application needs root and "BusyBox" to be installed. This app will NOT overwrite your applied themes, or enable the navigation buttons on devices without them.
Odexed ROM?: Some people are reporting small to bigger problems with odexed ROMs. Sometimes your choosen wallpaper can disappear.
WARNING: This app modifies system files and should only be used with a flashable backup of your current ROM on your device. The developer is not responsible for any damages.

Original thread
It can be nice to change the look of the soft buttons , I have not tested yet so I don't know if it works well and maybe it can conflict with some Xposed modules for the navigation bar...
Feedbacks are welcome...
Doesn't work for me

The guy that made the app made it to work on the nexus line. He didn't expect it to work on the g2. I tested also and as was expected it doesn't work. Steer clear of this thing until/unless the app developer okays it.

Hello there. Unfortunately I don't know of any app that can do what you are asking about. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Lol
Anyways that function is a common feature on paranoid android. Not sure if they implemented it yet. Wouldn't hurt to go over to their thread and check it out for yourself

so there is no way to makes the text size inside the apps looks smaller/match with the resolution size? changing the dpi only reflects the homescreen icon,etc but not the content inside the apps

Omg I misunderstood your problem. Yes there's ways to do that. For system text reduction there's an option in display and lights under settings that can do that. I also believe nova launcher is capable of doing that too.

not really my point. eg. when i go into chrome and view the same page with my S3, they both showing the same text size eventhough the N5 is fullhd and S3 is 720p. can i make it to show more contents compare to S3?
Have you tried xposed per app DPI? You will have to be on dalvik since it's not compatible with art.

Is there anyway possible to change the DPI before we obtain root?
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
No, you would need to edit build.prop afaik that is the only way. We have root now, but only /system/xbin is writable so I am not sure if you can change dpi, I will test it out.
You always need root regardless of the methods. But you can do it with the root currently available to the m8. Via xposed and app settings.

Is there a way to change the Sense UI DPI with app launcher? I'd like the notification and status bar to be smaller if possible

Probably. Though I don't use that launcher. I notice that launcher is called Blinkfeed. so if you change the DPI of HTC Blinkfeed it will probably effect the launcher.
I use Nova so I just change the DPI of Nova for the same effect. I don't like the limited number of dock spaces in the blinkfeed launcher and I honestly have no use for blinkfeed itself.

I use nova as well, I changed the dpi on that and like the look. I just need the statusbar icons and text to be smaller since everything overlaps for me from the abundance of icons I have shown. I'll look into app settings to see if that can be modified

It can. Android System I believe. Mine are nice and tiny. To see it you have to reboot though. Just be sure it is a soft reboot.

You must have really good eyesight
I'm running at 410 I think and it is great. Finally I have a sensible dpi for a 5 inch screen.... it looks like a toy at 480dpi what is HTC or anyone else thinking?! Too bad sense gets little bugs when you change the dpi. e.g notifications are slightly cut off on the bottom until expanded.

Can I ask how you guys are editing the dpi? I have tried using a couple different methods that I have always used but since you have to reboot in order for the change to take effect, it isn't working. I'm using nova and obviously the weak sauce root.

The HTC keyboard doesn't have that issue and also supports swipe. I agree that is annoying though. It is all temporary though till we get S-off which shouldnt be long now.

I have my OPO set to a custom DPI of 400, and I really like the size, and it looks great 90% of the time. Except when online using Chrome, with Chrome at the 400 DPI everything does look too tiny, and I would love to specifically set that to the to stock default 480 DPI, but keep the custom 400 DPI everywhere else on the phone.
Is that possible ?

I am not the developer of this app but I just wanted to create a post here and share it with other z fold 2 owners.

This by far best launcher for z fold 2 if u want pixel launcher and scalable rows/columns. I included some pictures of launcher, check it out if you on z fold and miss pixel.
Thanks for the recommendation. I keep things rather simple and this has made it relatively painless.

No problem man. The developer for this App is awesome guy. I had some recommendations for app and z fold such as scaling lower incremental percentage and he's already adding into app. He's also looking into android r/11 launcher3 so may make fold experience better soon too.

How did you install Nexa icons package? I can't find a way to install it within the system settings. Please let me know. :crying:
I want to install the icons without a third-party launcher. Is this even possible? I did this in the past with my Oneplus phone.

If you have images of the icons you can use the app Awesome Icons to change them. I changed a lot of them without any launcher.

Does this support a different configuration for cover and main screen?
It is possible in the next update to make these 3 additions:
1) To be able to edit / delete app categories.
2) On the At Glance Widget, in addition to the date, you can also view the time and maybe even the next alarm.
3) To be able to set the app drawer horizontally to be able to move in the app pages from left to right and vice versa as well as from top to bottom.
