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.
Screen-Shot attached
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.

Because I have a zillion pixels at my disposal, and Samsung decided every letter deserves a million

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!

I actually already tried that app (v1.10) but it doesn't seem to do anything. Will play with it some more

Ive just installed the tool LCDDensity from Market
Ive tested 160dpi, 200dpi and 280dpi... with the app, and 192dpi manually... why 192 ? its 480/2.5
The 160dpi is buggy (status bar), and 280 make all fonts biggers.... but... 200dpi... its amazing, its like a new phone ! all seems more clear and scrolling faster...
Please see the screen shot and give it a try...
BUT, there is a but... The Phone App (when you click on Phone icon) in my 3.4.2-164 will auto close in 160 and 200dpi. All others apps are working, Contacts, SMS, market and Browser
So, i need to find an alternative (working) Phone app... Where could i find that ?
EDIT: In fact phone app is working if you use the missed call notification in status... Only the first tab "Dialer" will close the app, but you can use Contact list... or Recent List and its working..
to set the setting permanent on reboot :
edit /data/local.prop and add
Code:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=192
Warning: dont change in local.prop the similar ro.sf.lcddensity which will not works
Also 100dpi will not works (in fact, just prevent the screen init, your phone is running without screen)

Use Dialer One from Market.
Great Dialer.
180dpi is looking good too, only a small "pixel" is missing in menus font tried to reinstall BlurDialer and now app is missing ://
dpi setting is not saved on reboot with LCDDensity
I've found the best setting to be 200. Dialer still works with mine.

I ll try the dialer.apk from this ROM and will report later.
Sent from my MOTO Defy
192 is ok for menu fonts
the app is fine but it's not only the stock dialer, CalWidget also bugs with it
For me, editing data/local.prop is not a permanent change. However, editing system/build.prop is persistent across reboots.
My stock dialer works fine.
184 dpi also works (better than 180)
i don't even see ANY difference?
If you do not see any difference, perhaps you are not editing the right file. If it is the right file, you may have mis-typed something.
Note that you would have to reboot your system before the file is parsed/the new settings are used.
i edited nothing, just used the app
Then I suggest you contact the author of the application or read any info/documentation provided about the application.
This thread is not about that app, but about making a manual change, to a system file.
Best of luck.
What does this do exactly ? Is everything smaller ? Bigger ? Easier to read ?

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?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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 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.

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?

Can anyone tell me what their default DPI is? I changed mine in developer settings, now I forget what it was.
Also, what are you using, and hows it working? I've found 360 and 400 work good, except on 400 the keyboard is too low.
Thanks!

If you've changed it in Developer Settings you can change it back to default in Additional Settings > Accessibility > Display > Display Size
