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 ?

use xposed and app setting module. If you use 5.0+ rom, use pyler's build.

Great thanks! Are you taking requests? I used xposed, and it makes the launcher looks all stretched.. the icons aren't clear and just looks bad. Could you get the launcher to 220 dpi? I'd really appreciate that

I made a launcher. Its in the OP. I dont see why it should look any different than Xposed though. On 220 DPI, the launcher I posted will look exactly like the stock launcher looks at stock DPI. If you want one with smaller app icons, I can make that.

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.
I have a rooted S7 Edge with XPosed installed and I changed the DPI to 480. All apps are working perfectly on the phone except for the Samsung Camera app. Is there any way I can force the camera app to the default DPI setting?
I would like to keep using this app instead of installing another camera app.

Just curious...why would you make your dpi lower?

There's a module called App Settings (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-9-2014-05-14-t2437377) and it lets you set DPI for individual apps. If it's compatible.

Hello, that's what i did since the first day : using DPI at 480 (set with the app "Le DPI changer"), and using App Settings (with Xposed module) for some specific apps, for instance the camera set at 560. It works like a charm !
Have fun!

404 on my Flex 2.
Use le dpi changer from play store and check"use wm shell" .
Works for any number of dpi , but lg apps will work only for dpi >400.
I am using 400 as the physical density of the screen is 403. LG got it wrong.

This is a bad idea, because changing DPI through "wm shell density" breaks quite a few apps.

A guide for changing a single line in build.prop?
Offtopic: I´d really like to meet that guy who decided that displaying less content on a 5,5" Flex 2 than on most 4,5" phones from other manufacturers is a good idea. If it weren´t possible to fix the DPI, I would have returned the phone the day I bought it.

Yeah, with dpi lower than 400 with texdroider dpi , they got smaller too. But with le dpi changer and dpi over 400 quicksetting icons got even bigger than default ones and text were misplaced.
My phone is on 400 dpi(changed with le dpi changer shell wm ) , everything is smaller and no text misplace (i m on gf2 mods 4.7)
Have you checked shell wm ?

of course, without checking it, that app doesnt work. Can you post your quicksettings screenshot?
What is the difference between using these apps and just modifying the build.prop? I did modify build.prop and am quite pleased with the results, even though in 2-3 apps the text placement is a little odd.

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

after dpi change, all other apps and home screen looks same? no small/huge text?
