I often do not have my glasses and cannot read the screen without them. On WinMo there was a setting to change the default text size. Does such a setting exist in Android?
anyone? 10chars
There is a new app today in the market for *rooted* phones only, called Font Size.
It is still in beta and you'll need to have a good backup first in case of problems. I am running a rooted Nexus one and although it rebooted twice in a row after installation, it now works perfectly.
If you are running a rom with spares parts you can change it with that.

sms text size works pretty good, its free and in the market
Or if your rooted and feel comfortable changing things. You can go into the build file ( which is a text file you can view through ES File Explorer and give the App super user abilities ( which you HAVE to change in the settings of the app as when the app boots it's already given those permissions. You need to give it permission to overwrite files ) Go to the System Folder which is located on the phone not the SD Card. Once viewing the build file.. in the middle of the text file you'll see 160 DPI is the default value, just under that are two values ( both stock at 160 ) and you change those. If you go to 180 everything on the phone becomes bigger or 140 and things become smaller ( Apps, text, everything ) then follows the instructions after which is to reboot the phone...all settings will take place.
Just do NOT change anything else in the build file.
font size
How do i get to the build file? is it in an app or in my 4G.

Hi,
Found the build file and changed from 160 DPI to 180 DPI but when I reboot it does not overwrite the change. How do I get the change to stick.

Attach your build.prop here and I'll take a look at it.
You might need to rename it to .txt or put it in a .zip

How are you editing build.prop?
Also your rom must support DPI changes, not all of them do, which rom is this?
Once you change that number it should NOT get overwritten.
Spare parts will change menu font size, but won't stick after your screen rotates. If you have rotation off you should be fine. Otherwise the CM community is trying to get that option in spare parts to work, but it's not cooperating. Editing build.prop is probably the best bet.
ROM??? this is way out of my league. I tried spare parts but was unclear how to increase fonts. it seemed to only increase font in one menu screen.
not sure how to attach build prop.
DPI changes not just the font, but everything, like if your font gets bigger, so do your icons, menus, etc. That does work if you want that result. If you want to change ONLY your system font size and nothing else, you can go read this info, and change it this way:

If you're running CM7 there should be an option for changing contact text size. I've never used it, but I know it's there.
You should also be asking this in their forum btw

Doesn't anybody else think it's pretty bad this option isn't available by default on Android? Not everybody wants to root their phones. Not everybody knows a 3rd party app for this exists (and it doesn't even seem to work globally for all text to begin with).
Definite downside, in my opinion.

Talk to or email google about it. Actually, I believe there's a request for it somewhere on the aosp features page (something like that) you can star the issue and try to get more people to join it. Maybe google will look into it...
At least that's a better option than wishing constantly and not taking action

Use Spare Parts named app from market. It can directly make bigger your all fonts + no root.
Hi, is there any way to change icon size's in new kitkat launcher ? Icons are waay to big and I dont want to switch to nova or anything else.
It'd require a mod to the launcher itself, that'll take a while. This was an intentional move and it looks a lot better.
Well, that is the matter of personal preference, for me it looks a waay to huge
Apex launcher has the option.

I hated the general size of everything too so first thing I did was to unlock the bootloader, root and edit the build.prop to make everything smaller.
The default density is 480 but move it down to 300 or so and everything looks alright.
The launcher automatically adds more columns and rows as well which is useful.

This is a great suggestion (but I'd look into doing 380 or 400). The problem with this is that everything (even the apps) uses that density. What would be ideal is to only have the launcher use the lower density and the rest of the apps be normal. Not sure if that's possible by editing files. Any help would be appreciated.
I used texdroider_dpi to set mine at 420DPI. Looks way better now. I couldn't stand how huge the icons and everything looked. Try that out.
I'll end up using Nova prime to resize and change the icon pack.
Question: Why is 480ppi set?
Hi,
probably a stupid question, but I hope somebody can explain that to me:
- Nexus 4 build.prob setting is 320 and datasheet says 320 ppi
- Nexus 7 2013 build.prob setting is 320 and datasheet says 323 ppi
and now what the hack:
- Nexus 5 build.prob setting is 480 and datasheet says 445 ppi
Has anybody an idea what this is all about? I am confused.
Thanks for this. I think 420 is great.
I have another issue with the app drawer though. Is there a way to do vertical scrolling on the stock launch thru the build.prop file or another file that's not crazy difficult or impossible? I know nova launcher can do it, but it just isn't as nice as the experience launcher quite yet. If I can get vertical scroller i might be able to completely part with nova launcher.

Like You lol
Yee... Tell us how to make it. First I want to try on launcher then maybe on entire phone.
Guys, if you want to change the DPI for the system UI, search in App Settings for the System UI app (the one with the smiling jelly bean icon), change to 160 or 180, or even 200, and set a 480x854 resolution, then you need to reboot. This will make the status bar smaller (and the navbar wider), however, there will be a gap between the missing bar space and the apps. You could try to change other apps to the same DPI resolution.
Of course, you can also try modifying the build.prop but this is more risky and it may cause a bootlop.
I change in build.prop to 210 and works fine!

Well ..,if you change the density,,the tiles will small,,that will make the icons not so HD,,,and the navigation bar and status bar missing or? you phone look like a kitkat now though

pretty neat looking home screen , you seem to use nova launcher it has a feature so you could hide that menu apps widgets etc as in kitkat stock makes it look absolutely good , also if you would go more minimal with the app drawer icons so it wouldn't look so over crowded would be awesome to see some screen shot of that ..

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering what the benefit is of a dpi change.
Like you suggested, I changed the dpi to 270, and it resulted in a smaller keyboard (among other things).
I changed it back and in Nova Laucher, I increased the amount of rows and colums which gives the same effect (more icons etc) but leaves the keyboard size intact.
Also I tried the Purity Icon set, but changed it right back to Flato HD.To my taste, it's the best looking icon set I've found to date.

I use exposed and the module app settings. It let's you adjust the dpi of individual apps. Including the system itself. BASICALLY you can scale applications to any size you want letting you take better advantage of the screen real estate. Like applying it to your internet browser would shrink the interface so it would not be in the way as much and more of the webpage would show on screen. It can be very useful especially with apps that are not optimized for a tablet. By doing it to the system itself you can change the drop down menu icon sizes and the amount of screen real estate afforded to you in your launcher. Smaller icons mean more rows and more flexibility with widgets and such.
Btw loving the keyboard on this thing. I can actually get a pretty decent word per minute on this baby.

Thanks for explaining.
Indeed the scaling of apps makes sense especially for phone apps which switch to fullscreen.
Nova launcher handles all the rest you mention fine though.
Is there a way to position the widgets more to the edge of the screen?
I notice that there is an area of half an inch that is not usable by widgets.
Also I'm trying to find a decent solution for removing the google search bar (the one with the microphone), and make that area usable too.
Is there a fix for that?
The keyboard is great and that's why I wanted it full size.
Thanks in advance!
In Nova:
Settings-Desktop
Persisten Search Bar = NeverWidth Margin = NoneHeight Margin = None.
While you're at it:
Resize all widgets = CheckedWidget Overlap = CheckedOverlap When Placing = Checked
These allow you to nudge widgets around and organize them close together.
Thanks Muzzy, exactly what I was looking for!

Nope, nope and nope. Other launchers use widgets that rely on native application widgets. Magazine UX relies on a custom widget from Flipboard made exclusively for Samsung. I had contacted Flipboard to ask if they had plans to release the widgets for their regular application and the response was that there were none at this time. They did not say if there was an exclusivity agreement (I did ask) but that doesn't mean that there isn't one.
When it's all said and done one has to decide whether it's worth it or not to stick with magazine ux. To me with the added steps you have to go through once you click content that you see in the tiles for Flipboard content there isn't any benefit for me other than the eye candy on the home screen.

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.

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.
