I downloaded an app called Kernel Tweaker. I then went to the edit build.prop section and I changed the Screen DPI to 226. After I rebooted my icons were extra large and SystemUI kept crashing. No navigation bars were present either.
So I wanted to know the default DPI so that I can edit build.prop from my PC and recover my device...
I have a GT-N8010 running stock Touchwiz KitKat 4.4.2, rooted...

I have already changed dpi from to 160,but the SystemUI were FC.
Should I change some system apps?
Hi,
I am trying to modify the icon size of apps and number of icons which are shown on the home screen of my Phone.
I found that changing ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop affects the complete system and it also not useful to change the size of icons shown on home screen.
I tried to change the android:maxRows="3" android:maxItemsPerRow="3" android:maxItems="6" in framework-res.apk package by following the advice given here. However it did not help me either.
Above method included retrieving of framework-res.apk, modifying the contents from layout-port directory, creating the zip and installing it. Which I did successfully without any error.
Currently I have 4x4 settings for the home screen, i.e. I can have maximum 16 icons on the Home page; and for example, I want to change it to 3x2 so that there can be only 9 icons on the home screen.
I also want to customize the icon sizes.
How can I do by modifying framework-res.apk or some other package from existing ROM?
Just to make sure: I don't want to install new application or theme, rather want to understand how it is done.
The device I work on has ICS installed. (I am using ICS Arco's CM9 for Samsung Galaxy S plus device)
Same here, but a little different
i'd like to know if it's possible to change to a 5x5 icon layout. had Android Revolution 5.1 and noticed on install that it gave that option. however, i just went back to stock rom so i can get my KitKat update. if it is possible, will i be able to do it on KitKat?

Install apex launcher there you get many options to change grid size which will in turn allow you to have 5x5 grid

I think installing a custom recovery will make that annoying intro go away

Btw I reverted back to stock SystemUi and everything is good now
My problem is solved
Running barebonez 5.0.1 (which is basically similar to stock just slimmed down deodexed zipaligned and such, for the galaxy tab a sm_t350. Rooted and xposed framework installed, tried using textdroider dpi changer as I usually do with most of my devices, except on reboot systemui crashes when I tried 140 or 120, had to switch it back to 160 which looks kind of ugly in m opinion. Seen people had issue similar to this on other devices but I couldn't find a solution other than changing it back. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
May reinstall the original rom stock can resolve your problem CMIIW
Tried installing another stock based rom and still not able to go below 160 dpi. Anyone know a way around this. The system ui looks so clunky
Hi,
- I've rooted my one+ One phone and have TWRP installed.
- I'm running Cyanogenmod 12.1. (Android 5.1.1)
- I have Xposed installed and Ifont with it's per-app module activated in Xposed.
I'm trying to do two things: 1. Change the system font. 2. Once the system font is changed, change the clock font back to the factory font.
Using Ifont, I successfully change the system font. However, I am unsuccessful at changing the clock font back to default android font or any other fonts without soft-bricking the phone after reboot. In Ifont, I go to per-app function. I select the clock app and change the font family to the default android font. But once I reboot, the phone gets stuck at the Cyangenmod boot logo. Luckily, I have a back up which I restore afterwards. I have tried with the google clock app as well as the Chronus widget.
Could anyone help me achieve this step by step or is this not possible to do. I have tried different things I found on the internet but none work or don't apply to me.
Thank you very much.
