DPI change: problems with Google Keyboard and Play Store - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to change DPI but for each value I get two displaying problems (see attached screnshots):
1. In play store some icons are pretty big and screw layout
2. In google keyboard the three dots on the middle suggested word are too big and overlap the suggested word

What DPI ate you using? I use 370 and I don't have any problems.

Playstore dpi fix?

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.

Try to use another keyboard e.g. TouchPal or restore stock lcd density.

so far i tried 2 keyboard, swiftkey and android L keyboard. unfortunately, it's still the same. I don't want to restore the density for some reason.:crying:

So, just set the density back to stock, install xposed frame work and use the module "App settings" to set dpi per app. keyboard won't be affected

so you mean I've to set dpi for each apps, right? That was helpful, indeed. I will do that, if I can't find any simpler solution.

I do it this way

Changing DPI

You can change the dpi on the stock ROM without ROOT by chaging the "smallest width" setting in developer settings. I have mine set to 550 it's looks amazing!
Here is a screenshot of setting menu at 550.
You could also just change the setting in Settings > Display > Advanced > Display Size > Small
411 is default. 434 is the smallest you can go to get an extra icon of space on the status bar (meaning you can fit another icon before you get the overflow dot). 453 is the magic number for the notification side. "Small" per the post above is 484.
Worth it, you can barely notice a difference otherwise. Now if only we had an option to do ONLY the status bar... then we'd be cookin. But this will do for now.

Nope it's not the same. Putting that setting on small does not work on everything. And this way you can go even smaller then the "small" setting.

I have the setting pure+ posted on normal and put the setting I posted on 551 I feel like that's the perfect mix for me ATM. I will keep playing with it to see if I can find a better combo.

It actually is. If you change the setting and go into dev options it shows the dpi changed. Only difference is it's defaulting to a predetermined dpi

Ah yes you are right. Thanks for the heads up.
The small setting only changes it to 484 too big for me still! I like it around 550

Full disclosure I didn't check to verify this, although I already suspected it, until you said something lol

Yeah the olny problem doing it that way is that the change is not enough to really notice a difference.
unfortunately doing it this way compared to doing it via build.prop makes Swiftkey tiny as well
Any one have a suggestion for something in between stock 411 and small 484? Small is just a bit too much for my taste so looking for a happy medium
can we change the DPI through build.prop yet now that we have root?
I added ro.sf.lcd.density=550 and it doesnt seem to be doing anything
doing it through the developer options makes the keyboard unusable.

SwiftKey but 550 was a bad example. I want to make everything smaller, so I went down to something like 450 and the keyboard was very hard to use. Same with the default Gboard

Are you rooted? If so I can tell you how to make gboard bigger but I am not sure about Swiftkey

I am rooted yes so I would love to know besides the Gboard setting that increases the size.

Here check if this will work for you! This is the method I was using on my pixel 2 xl it worked great, just one issue is sometimes I could not get the txt edit to save and had to edit the line then got to setting and force stop gboard then go back and save the text file.

Thanks for that link, worked for me on Gboard. Hopefully there will be a solution that I can still use Swiftkey but if not I will be going this route once I get home and adjust the DPI further

I don't have the Pixel yet & I've never tried changing DPI, so forgive me if this doesn't help or if you've already tried this, but Swiftkey has a setting built in to resize the keyboard. I believe it's normally set at "medium", then there is a "large" & "largest" setting to make the keyboard bigger. Go to Swiftkey Settings>Typing>Resize.

Tidal app

Hiis someone using tidal music app on his Android head unit?

That app isn't well optimised for tablets with the screen size that our head units have. You'll have to lower the dpi to use it. To do this, you'll need root.
I would recommend flashing Malaysk or Hal9k rom and then using any dpi changer app on play store.
How much the dpi needs to be lowered depends on your screen size and resolution. I can't help you there, you'll have to lower it and try again till it works.
Thank you that worked. Changed to 160 dpi and 1280x720

Could you reveal which dpi changing method you used? Tried from developer options, but can't go any lower than 320 dpi.

I think there's an app called easy dpi changer or something similar on the play store

Yes I used easy dpi changer with root
after dpi change, all other apps and home screen looks same? no small/huge text?
Thanks a lot for this
I have the same problem on my PQ8046BL screen size 1280 x 480, not sure what size to change it to dpi .
Does this app still have the same problem?

Question Does system font size have no effect on Google Chrome?

I adjusted the system font size and it has no effect on Google Chrome. Screen zoom did have an effect, so I'm using that as a workaround, but I would like to know whether anybody is having the same problem.

I believe that won't change as that's to do with the coding of websites in general.
