Change display size in nougat? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey all, I've tried looking online and through my own phones settings but can't seem to find anything. Nearly all nougat phones I've used allow the option to change the Display Size yet I don't see that option on the honor 8. Has it been left out? I'm not talking about changing the resolution or the font size, just changing the dpi essentially under display settings.
Thanks

You can do this with adb.
"Adb shell wm density 400 && adb reboot"
Change 400 to what suits you.

Thank you for the reply. I know it can be done via ADB however, every other nougat phone I've used has a "Display Size" setting under the display menu. Just wondering why Honor 8 does not have that option.

Where do you see that? I don't think the "smallest dpi width" is the same thing.

That sure did it, thank you so much! I wonder why they would tuck it away into the developer settings. Thanks so much for the help.

You're welcome

FYI you can enable Developer options, which is hidden by default, to appear under Settings by going to Settings > About Phone and tapping the Build Version 7 times. Then Developer option should appear under the Settings menu.

Thanks @Kikito94
This helped me with my phone

developer setting / scroll to down ,you will see smallest width & 400~420 is good point .don't exceed 430 it will crash your apps.

No more app quickmenu on TouchWiz

Hi everyone,
I am using the latest version of TouchWiz updated through Google Play Store and I am on the latest firmware update but I don't know how to make the quick menu to show up after a long click on top of the app icon. HomeScreen easy mode is Off... i dont even have the option to delete apps from home screen while dragging the app.
What I should do? It was working before...

@TiGuy82,
In Settings/Developer options, enable "Animator duration scale". Set to 0.5X or higher.

Working Screen Calling [GLOBALLY]

I was able to enable screen calling by modifying /data/data/com.google.android.dialler/dialer_phenotype_flags.xml
mine is attached working in Australia
just copy over to the location and overwrite the original file (remove "WORKING-" from the file)

ive done it on two pixel 3s in australia and it works perfectly!
i knew it was just a simple edit in a file somewhere - hope it helps more people
you can do it manually by changing anything in the file to TRUE that has "speakeasy" or "speak_easy"
make sure you force stop phone apk and go to settings and enable the option to screen call
Not working for me in Canada.

Do you need Custom ROM installed or just stock rooted?
do I need root for this?
or unlocked bootloader?

Any luck in Italy?
Works for me in the UK. With regards to it working on custom ROMs it will work as it's more dialer related than ROM related
