Hello guys -
So at last we can now root Ultra YAY
Has anyone tried changing the DPI?
I did change mine and everything looks so much nicer in relation with the size,
however got an issue with the stock Camera App,
After the DPI Change the way the picture is showing is reversed
Portrait - shows landscape on the front and back
Landscape - shows portrait
Tried App Settings in Xposed and restored to default DPI for the Camera but it didnt work?
Has anyone got some insight or solution for the issue aside from installig 3rd party app?
Thank you so much
Looking forward to getting root on this bad boy

everyone is so helpful :angel::fingers-crossed::good:
I use "Easy DPI Changer" to change the DPI of whole system from 320 (default)to 400.
So far, I did not find any error now, including stock camera app.
Which DPI app did you use?
What DPI did you set?
There is another thread where a user was changing dpi through adb before we had root. He broke down how the phone reacted with different values. The camera breaking was one of them. Unfortunately I don't think there is a fix. Have you tried a third party camera? Google camera perhaps?
I think the problems come when using lower values than stock. Higher values I have used myself up to 420 DPI didn't bring any problem for me, including with the camera.
But DJI Go app doesn't launch above 360 DPI, although that has nothing to do with Asus. Weather channel also doesn't launch above 360 DPI.
So be prepared to have some apps not working once in a while above 360 DPI.

Yes using a third Party Cam now Cameringo +, is there any other 3rd party cam close to the stock cam? i like how the front and back facing cam respond on the stock cam on low light option which i cant find on the others

Yes, i think the issue shows up on DPI lower than 360 - i had the same issue before too on my Zenfone 6

Hello everyone!!. I used this app LCD resolution for root users and changed the res a bit and found some apps force closing like Go sms and launchers etc. Is there any fix for this. Or do we need to live with what we have...
No solution as far as I am aware. I used a similar app and it forced me into a boot-loop, had to re-flash everything! So be careful!
Just Change back to the default resolution..
works fine
When I got my Oneplus One I was a little disappointed because some apps don't realy leverage the screen size gain compared to smaller screens. E.g. the standard Email-app shows just as many items per screen as it does on a 4.2" screen, just bigger.
Also I wondered how to increase the number of app symbols in a row in the Trebuchet (CM11s standard-launcher) app drawer.
Then I found the solution:
Install Xposed and the App Settings module. Don't forget to activate both and restart the phone.
In App Settings you can change the DPI for individual apps. E.g. I changed the DPI to 400 for Trebuchet. Now I get 5 apps in a row in the app drawer instead of 4. Same with the Email-app: Now it shows more items in the list of mails, just a little smaller.
Hope this helps.
Mitch.
You could also change the DPI from 480 to something smaller in BUILD.PROP, root is required obviously, but then again Xposed also needs root AFAIK.
Changing the BUILD.PROP setting will change your entire UI to the desired DPI which looks pretty amazing IMO
Yep, changing the build.prop is a much more effective method. One small change and you have a global effect, rather than having to change the DPI for apps individually.

Another way to change DPI is using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi very minimal app and does the job well. 380 is the dpi I use, no problems with Play Store apps either.

I use a DPI of 370 on mine, I can't stand the way everything looks with a stock DPI, it's such a waste of screen real estate.

since the new hangouts app, it says that this app is not compatible with your device. can anyone else replicate this problem, my dpi is at 410
Afaik there are some "special" dpi levels for apps.. Stock dpi may work, 410 may not, but for example 370 may work again... Dont remember exactly which are good

Shows compatible with 380 but yeah what gerciolisz said. Depending what dpi it is, play store may not like it.
There was a modded play store that work around the problem but it hasnt been updated.
Hi
How can i get the Samsung camera app to display correct if i reduce the density system-wide?
If i apply the default dpi to com.sec.android.app.camera in xposed app settings, the camera app still doesnt display correctly.
I've tried to edit a few cam related apps without any luck.
To edit every other app isnt a solution in my eyes.
There is a fix for the s6. Maybe someone could port that for our edge?!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/themes-apps/mod-samsung-camera-app-dpi-t3131567
Thanks in advance
really nobody?
Having the same issue.
I can look into this after researching the fix in the S6 Thread
Running out of options: Stock Camera APP
Having the same issue.... This is literally the only thing that is keeping me from migrating entirely from my note 3..
I refuse to use google camera for it is utter rubbish; I am not geriatric, thanks.
I have tried Xposed App Settings fixed for lollipop(even though the 4.4 version seemed to be working fine for everything else)and nothing; DPI settings are ignored for the camera package...
I am running TKXodus 4.2 as well + Emotion Kernel.. Hitting stable 3.1GHz OC BTW I really want to iron out the issues with the dpi to finally use the edge as my daily driver but I am not as knowledgeable in terms of apk compiling/decompiling.
Ok, so in the past Huawei has decided on a few of their larger devices to go with 400 DPI instead of the standard 320 DPI that android should be at. This makes the UI a little to large. Sure you can root your phone and tweak the build.prop file for different DPI, but then icons look weird and there's other issues. 400 DPI just looks wrong to me, I'm sure some folks like it, but I really don't
I found something called "App Layout" in the settings today. This is awesome my friends.....
The "Standard" setting is 400 DPI (Default)
"Reduced" looks to be 320 DPI
There's even a custom where you can do per app DPI settings just like you can in Xposed framework!
This is truly a great piece of work from Huawei, Now we can set the DPI where we want it. Nicely done Huawei!
All we need now is to have the memory manager work a little better and I will go on record saying that other than Cyanogen or plain android, this is the best Vendor skin to date. So much you can do with it... I haven't even unlocked or rooted my phone yet and I don't think i'm going to bother (Plus I want to install all the update files without hassle since it seems like they are coming out pretty fast)

Yeah, it's great if you decide to stay stock as you don't have to do much to change the DPI. You can change the DPI also without rooting by opening a command prompt in adb and running a command.

That explains that ... My 702 is still on B103 ... No official updates have come yet for the internal updater.
the only problem though is that the Microsoft Office apps such as Word does not go to tablet mode despite it being set to reducing mode but whenever I tweak the dpi to 320 via adb, it does show in tablet mode but some app icons and task manager are a bit messed up. Other apps such as Facebook or Youtube does seem to display on tablet orientation when in reducing mode.

I think that has to do with teh odd 1920x1200 rez. If it were 1920x1080 then it probably would detect phone mode/tablet mode correctly
Flash rom KangVIP, you can adjust DPI switching to 400, 380,360,340,320 dpi

If I switch the dpi to 320 if I'm using that rom does the UI becomes a bit weird? I just wanna ask because whenever I switch the actual dpi to 320 via adb (with the original B109 rom), some of the icons are smaller and have green background in them and other glitches.

UI will be normal same as original B109 rom but font in app will be smaller.

If you use Nova Launcher, that fixes the icon problem.
For the unlucky ones with 702L. I found a possible fix (still testing) to set the dpi to 320 without issues in SwiftKey being huge for example. Need to be ROOTED. So this is what I did.
1. Edit the build prop and add/change both " qemu.sf.lcd_density=320 " and " ro.sf.lcd_density=320 "
2. Use terminal emulator with
Su
Wm density 320
Reboot.
Now Wm density should show one value not 2 and SwiftKey should work as well.
Cheers.
Nice. Been looking for the SwiftKey fix. So, for this fix to be working do you need to get it rooted? Cheers
On 2nd thought, this SwiftKey problem doesn't exist on other keyboard apps like fleksy, googles own and go keyboard.
Yes you have to be rooted for that. But being rooted has of course a lot of other advantages and is easy to do once the bootloader is unlocked (I used the paid option from the root guide and I was rooted within half an hour).
I tried the other keyboards as well, seems SwiftKey uses other parts of build.prop to get dpi.
Hope I could help.
I don't know how to explained this but I hink it has something to do with screen red, DPI and poor programming. I can't send you link to app as you need logon to membership. The app works on other phones. It has a swipe to turn page function. But instead of turning the page it appears as though a second layer is formed and I can move the layer around on top of the back layer. But it will not swipe to next page because of it. Are there any thought which could cause this anomoly I tried messing with DPI and screen size using app settings closed module but have had no luck.
for more information on this as i have been mesisng with it more and more. I am using RR marshmallow and have set my display to 480dpi because i like small and compact. this is deffinately what is causing the issue. if i go back to the default setting of RR which is 560dpi, the app works as expected. but when i go to 480dpi, the app fails and gives this anamoly. so i tried to adjust the dpi for the app using app settings xposed module to 560. however this does not work. i am curious is there also a screen resolution i should set for the 560 dpi?
1) on another custom ROM, some people had trouble with Google Maps by trying to go too small DPI. Some apps just don't like it.
2) Stock (factory) DPI for the Quark is actually 640 DPI.
@baybutcher27 chooses to make it smaller 560 DPI in Resurrection Remix. It's his choice, since he's the dev.
And you are going even smaller? 480 DPI. You must have good eyes.
Screen resolution is 1440p.

both hose statements are known conditions. conditions i am ok with. my question is really why doesn't app settings work to correct the change in dpi. or is there a known solution to correct the dpi issue since the app itself does not like 480dpi, nor does it like app settings trying to correct it to 560 dpi.

OK. Let's try something. In Resurrection Remix, @baybutcher27 does some coding stuff to make 560 DPI be the "default" accepted by apps when REALLY it's supposed to be 640 DPI.
Maybe this one app is immune and is still looking for 640 DPI? So, just for fun, change the DPI for your phone to 640 DPI -- the factory stock value -- and see if the app works then.
I'm not saying to keep that DPI, I'm just curious if we can make the app work correctly under any circumstances.
If it works with 640 DPI, then we know the issue is somehow the app is still seeing what the REAL default DPI is supposed to be. You can then work with @baybutcher27 to fix the problem.
If it doesn't even work even with 640 DPI, then I have no idea.

Thanks for the assistance i turned the appsettings xposed module off and reran it at 640dpi, stock moto dpi setting and the result was, success. i ran the system at the stock RR default dpi at 560dpi and the result was, success. At 480dpi failure. this is all without using the app settings xposed module to adjust the dpi on a per app basis. strictly letting the phone do what the phone does at that dpi setting. there is something about the 480 dpi.
Yeah, similar to that Google Maps incident. It wouldn't work at a specific DPI but go up a few and it worked OK.
Experiment and see the minimum acceptable DPI for that app to not complain?
First, try increments of 10 -- 490, 500, 510, 520... Then, back down to find the exact minimum DPI. Might be some strange number like 508.
