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...
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.
Changing DPI from stock 480 to any lower value is resulting in a small separated box at the top left corner for most of the icons - especially non system apps. Tried the density change from build.prop and wm density command as well and could not find a way to fix this.. any known workarounds or ideas?
Here is a screenshot

after many experiments and web serach, seem to have found a solution:
1) if you have already made some changes/tinkering - restore all the setiings to default DPI: 480
2) use the build prop editor and change ro.sf.lcd_density to desired value. I use 360 as preferred DPI
3) use adb to set the DPI using wm command to the same value as configured in build prop. <$adb shell wm density 360>
4) Go to data/system/theme_magic/customized_icons and delete all PNGs except miui_version file. You can use any root explorer
Now reboot the phone. this should fix the issue. Let me know if this worked for others as well

Default factory ROM - MIUI 8 comes with 1080p Resolution = 480 DPI

No, every phone has their dpi. Mido has default dpi=480.
I use 384 dpi at every Rom, and it's good.
I think the problem is in miui, or u put dpi that doesn't match with 1080p.
P.s. U can download "root essentials"->interface->dpi changer
And it will show your original dpi also.
I can confirm that Mido comes with 480 dpi and I solved the same problem only with editing build.prop for dpi and reapplying the theme after reboot (Although I'm not saying other steps are not needed this was just what I experienced) and I'd also mention that anything below 380 dpi breaks the live icons for me on stock system launcher.

is there a way I can perform this (Go to data/system/theme_magic/customized_icons and delete all PNGs except miui_version file. You can use any root explorer) with ADB. as I don't have root access.
I changed DPI to 260 and using Terbuchet 15 from XDA labs still some icons are broken. I just want to fix it. thanks

Great advice man.
Changing build prop value helped with broken icons. Works like a charm on Mi4 Miui 10.
There isn't an option on the settings or the developer settings (like on the 5). I tried some root apps, but none of them worked. Are we stuck with the one font then?
