Hi,
I'm pretty new to HTC and i used on my previous phones to change the DPI.
I'm root and I change this line of the build.prop : ro.sf.lcd_density
But when i reboot the phone, nothing happend and the original DPI is back in the buid.prop.
There is a way to make it right without install Xposed?
Try NoMone Resolution Changer & see if it works

You can't do that because it would violate android specifications.
Android is designed to support different combinations of screen size and density. Android uses 160dpi as a medium density or mdpi (This is the baseline density).
You can find more info of this in android developer site:
developer [DOT] android [DOT] com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you can change the DPI of your device by editing the build.prop file located in: /system/build.prop. Look for the line that starts with "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change the number to the density that you want. Hope this helps!

Try to write 2 lcddestiny values with Root Explorer at /system/build.prop
This is 100% safe and working method.
It's not dpi its ppi

I did it with ROM Toolbox, worked flawlessly on Stock ICS LPY.
Rom toolbox lite worked on LQ3 on Cassies Xtra lite rom v. 4

I had the same issue until I used Rom Toolbox. That worked. I assume you have root as you need it to change the build.prop file.
[APP][Xposed] Per app DPI for all apps, Volume Skip Track, Status Bar Tweaks & more
Great News: Xposed Installer now supports Galaxy S4
Galaxy S4 has a nice 5 inch display. But having phoneUI in all the apps doesn't justify the screen size. With Xposed App Settings you can change layout and density of each app to tabletUI or PhabletUI whatever your preferences are.
I have tried it on Stock Rom. So it should probably work with every rooted ROM ODEX or DEODEX.
How to Install
1. Make a Nandroid Backup. (Just in case you mess up any system file)
2. Download the XposedInstaller 2.1.4 apk and install it. Launch it and grant it root permissions. Then press Install/Update button. Then reboot.
3. Download the Per App Density Setting apk and install it.
4. Launch the Xposed Framework App then in the module tab, enable the Per App Density Module. Then reboot.
5. Launch the Per App Settings app and there you can now set per app density for all apps listed.
Galaxy S4 has a default dpi of 480, So if you want phabletUI for any app then set dpi to 320-380 and layout to 800x1080. For tabletUI try dpi value from 180-240.
I have tried phabletUI for some google apps like Playstore, Gmail and Google Now. You can try various settings and keep whatever suits you best.
I will share some settings I have tried later tonight.
Note: You can also try it with Multi DPI Stock apps shared by bala_gamer.
If not using above Multi DPI apps then don't try these settings with Samsung apps. for now. You will just end up with weird layout.
More Tweaks Here: For more tweaks like volume button skip music, status bar tweaks and many many more check out this thread!! It says that its only for At & T version but I have tested it on my I9500 its working fine.
I am just sharing cool stuff I find in this forum and I don't take any responsibility for any damage to your phone. So whatever mods you apply, always make a NANDROID Backup
Thanks to rovo89 and tungstwenty for Xposed Framework and Per App Settings. And special thanks to xperiacle, I have been using his mods in my Galaxy Note and if it wasn't him then maybe I wouldn't find this amazing app.
You can also use the smiley replacer.apk with the xposed app installer

You can't just edit notification bar dpi. For that you will have to change DPI of your phone. But Stock Samsung apps won't fit properly if you change Phone's DPI. You can find more information about changing phone's DPI here

I wish there were PhabletUI Samsung apps available. But if you want to change just the dpi and not layout then read the OP. There's a link for some Multi-DPI stock apps. And for the TabletUI of stock apps lets wait for 4.2.2 updates for bigger devices like Tab, Note 10.1, Note 8 so that we can try pulling apks from them.
Installed and working fine
is it possible to change phone DPI to custom and set app specific density for samsung apps? will this kind of layout works ?
Yes I know about it im using it from SGS3 and for SGS4 waiting only for modded TW launcher, thats why I was so curious if this will handle it without the need to use modded multiDPI apps. Nevermind as the multi TW launcher will be avaible I wont need Xposed. THX for reply anyway enjoy it

No it's more tricky with Samsung apps. If you want for example 320 dpi for Contacts app then first you need a contacts app of 320 dpi and then you can change density from this app, just changing phones dpi won't do it. You can find some of these apps in another thread called Multi-DPI Samsung apps. Check op for the link.
You can also try to pull apps from another phones like gs3 or note which have different dpi but I'm not sure about their compatibility with 4.2.2 roms.

is it possible?!

It will burn the lcd for sure if it's more bright, maybe bit more bright could be possible but the kernel allow only max 25
And gamma how to adjust I don't know unfortunately I will see in sys/ folder

Also for some reason I could npt install the zip trough recovery.. It failed..
Any idea of lower the minimum brightness? Brighter is good but I need something that suit my night-reading hobby....
Or just add "echo xx > $dev/wled:backlight/min_current" And if it right, what is the lowest value we can get....

I've always used ROM toolbox for dpi since 2012.
It never has failed me. Obviously must be rooted.
I use a dpi of 500. Then use app settings on xposed to change phone and camera to normalize the dpi to stock so it doesn't look all weird.
Good luck
Haven't tried Rom Toolbox but with App Settings Module not working I am going to end up with stock apps that don't scale correctly....I want to change the DPI per app... not globally, otherwise the stock apps look screwy..

Either you didn't reboot after changing DPI "it's a bug" supposed to do it on the fly, or your xposed setup isn't right.
The stock dpi on the note 5 is perfect. It's the only dpi on any phone that I have not changed

Agree, I only moved it from 560 to 500, not a huge increase compared to 100 to other phones.
