[APP]Chrome Beta - Update safely on 240 DPI

Hi Guys,
Just a small info post.​
The latest update of Chrome Beta to version 0.18.4531.3636 works perfectly with the 240 DPI (phone UI). Guess Google has finally lifted the DPI restrictions!! Cheers! So go ahead and update freely!
Earlier we all were having problems of FC when updated to the latest version of the Chrome Beta on 240 DPI, and as a workaround we had to use the older versions of the app.
And to the benefit of all you can either download the latest version of chrome beta from from the play store or you can download from my Dev Host share​ Here​
Also just in case you are having any issues with the latest version you can even get the older version (March12 version 0.16.4301.233) from the same share.
Cheers!! Enjoy your Note !! Hit thanks if you feel like !!​

In play store, installing apps are based on your dpi configuration. If its not compatible to your device due to changes on your dpi, you better restore to your stock/standard dpi settings.

Well either you use the modded market (sometimes breaks gtalk and have to modify GSF) or download apps at stock dpi - 160 or 240 or 320 then revert to the dpi of your choice. Remember to clear the market data first, every-time you change your dpi.

Why u wanna change lcd density?
U can use rom toolbox or similar app to mod density, goto build.prop tweak here u can change value.
If u want u can change manually also. Open build.prop in text editor.
And change the value of.
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density

DPI 240 is best for Galaxy R i think, if you want to change it then you need to edit Build.prop file you can try with different densities ......
Go to Build.prop and serch for "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change the value what ever you want and save it....

Yes. .240 is default. .
But 230 will give more contents per page. .
Try 230..

Guys I have this software. when I select 160 temporary DPI it works but when I select it for permanent, it boot & stuck after Galaxy R logo.
Even my Boot logo wont work.
But yes when I edit in build.prop file it boots but wont go to menu..stuck at bootanimations but I m on cm10.1. wiped cache & dalvik cache then it boot well. One question in my mind why the software wont let it boot..??

for LCD screens:
Display resolution (px×px) - 1280×720

Pixel count (Mpx) - 0.92
Aspect ratio - 16:9
Screen size (in) - 13.3
Pixel pitch (µm) - 230
Resolution (px/in) - 110.4
My question is how can I set 1280*720p(in DPI) in my mobile for viewing...??
Is it DPI 230..??

Hi. I've got the question too. Can I edit build.prop right on my device? Will it boot after that? I want to make text areas (in menus, for example) smaller so I could see more text on the screen. Or I just should make an update.zip and flash it via CWM recovery?

Download build.prop editor if you want to do more things with your device...or download density changer if you only want to change density...
Lots of apps are available on play store to do this...
Lower value =high resolution effect
Higher value =low resolution effect
One advice...
Keep in mind...
Some manufacturers modified their own ui over stock...which might causes some issues...
So... better to install another launcher... before applying... (third party launchers are able to catch any resolution...)

Almost perfect way to Set dpi on Note 3.(Root)

So I was looking into a way to change the dpi of my n9000. I loved PacMan rom for mt Xperia Z. I used to use a tablet UI with 200 dpi and I liked it. When I tried build.prop editors. Nothint changed.
So I did the following. Its very simple. But it did the job.
Download Xposed Installer
Install the framework.
Go to modules.
Download App Settings.
Activate it from Xposed.
Then open App Settings. Grant Root permissions.
Search for Android Ui
Change the dpi to what ever suits you. Am using 340. Works like a charm for me.
I took the extra efforts of chaning the dpi for settings. Browser. Whatsapp. BBM. And a few more apps according to my use. It worked.
WARNING : Do Not change the Android System dpi. It makes the keyboard horribly large.
After you change the dpi to something smaller than stock. There will be a little space between the status bar and the app.
Touchwiz does not look well in the less dpi. I recommend some other launcher which supports custom rows and columns. I use Nova Prime.

What did you use to edit the build prop, I've been told using the that method ever since a Knox safe root was available.

How much dpi are you using ?

Im very interested in rooting and then changing dpi but when i tried changing build prop with my old S3 it went into boot loop and i had to do an emergency recovery.
Anyways could someone upload som screenshots of lesser dpi settings on note 3, would be nice to see if its worth the hazzle.

I have a problem with setting the dpi of the samsung phone app with this app, everything else works fine. I set the dpi first by editing the build prop but the dialer did not like it so i tried to set it back to original dpi but it wont respond to any changes, only option is to revert the build prop.

Use solid explorer or root explorers and change the LCD density in build prop. I am using 350 at the moment and it's been good... I then use the xposed module app settings to change the Samsung apps like phone and calculator back to 480 so they don't look ridiculous all bunched up in the corner of the screen.. worked a treat on every rom I use.. do it on kitkat roms on my nexus 4 and s4 with no dramas as well until a PA type rom comes out

This is how i did it, sorry for my previous confusing post. Problem is, the phone app does not respond to any of the changes, the xposed app works fine on chrome etc. though.

tablet mode has been removed from base android since 4.2 or 4.3 (i cant recall which one right now).
when you see it in a rom it is the re-addition in xml layout files to enable the 'tablet' mode again
^^^ read this in another thread
i wouldn't mind giving tablet mode a go again myself on such a large device when we see some AOSP love that will enable it again:good:
