Changing DPI from stock 480 to any lower value is resulting in a small separated box at the top left corner for most of the icons - especially non system apps. Tried the density change from build.prop and wm density command as well and could not find a way to fix this.. any known workarounds or ideas?
Here is a screenshot
Resolved
after many experiments and web serach, seem to have found a solution:
1) if you have already made some changes/tinkering - restore all the setiings to default DPI: 480
2) use the build prop editor and change ro.sf.lcd_density to desired value. I use 360 as preferred DPI
3) use adb to set the DPI using wm command to the same value as configured in build prop. <$adb shell wm density 360>
4) Go to data/system/theme_magic/customized_icons and delete all PNGs except miui_version file. You can use any root explorer
Now reboot the phone. this should fix the issue. Let me know if this worked for others as well

Default factory ROM - MIUI 8 comes with 1080p Resolution = 480 DPI

No, every phone has their dpi. Mido has default dpi=480.
I use 384 dpi at every Rom, and it's good.
I think the problem is in miui, or u put dpi that doesn't match with 1080p.
P.s. U can download "root essentials"->interface->dpi changer
And it will show your original dpi also.
I can confirm that Mido comes with 480 dpi and I solved the same problem only with editing build.prop for dpi and reapplying the theme after reboot (Although I'm not saying other steps are not needed this was just what I experienced) and I'd also mention that anything below 380 dpi breaks the live icons for me on stock system launcher.

is there a way I can perform this (Go to data/system/theme_magic/customized_icons and delete all PNGs except miui_version file. You can use any root explorer) with ADB. as I don't have root access.
I changed DPI to 260 and using Terbuchet 15 from XDA labs still some icons are broken. I just want to fix it. thanks

Great advice man.
Changing build prop value helped with broken icons. Works like a charm on Mi4 Miui 10.

Hi there Mates,
I've always used a different DPI on every phone i used.
I used to follow bala_gammer on his mods, but when he stopped i got lost, so i decided to do my way, and post on his topic.
I got many PM's so i thought was better to create a thread.
Heres how i got. I've tested on samsung rom and samsung based roms (omega and wanam)
1 - Root
2 - Go to root/system/build.prop - search for the line "ro.sf.lcd_desity=480" and change 320 or the dpi wanted. (image attch)
3 - install the "xposed installer"
4 - install the "appsettings" and activated the "appsettings" inside the "xposed installer" to work then reboot
Obs : This step is very important , because every app that dont fit the dpi choosed you will change here for the original 480 dpi . After reboot you have to immediately change to 480 dpi via appsettings the following apps : "gallery, camera, phone(and incall UI), contacts" if dont work after change , reboot!
5 - You have to install another time widget, the factory one wont work
At least here didnt. I installed "Zooper Widgets" and worked fine .
After install a different clock widget, on the lockscreen swipe for the right and will see a big "+" click and add a new widget on the lockscreen (the one that have installed, 4x1 size) and erase the old one with the pencil (to erase just hold a finger above the screen and swipe to trash)
if you dont have the + on the lockscreen, go to settings, screen , lockscreen and activate multiple widgets!!
DONE
:victory:
Im on 4.3 Original Samsung and upload some SS
Xposed , Appsettings and Zooper Widgets ARE NOT my work. Just put the link to help you guys . Sorry for my english .
I have not got this to fully work yet! Still crashes at login.
But so far we got apk and obb thanks to [email protected]: http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/cmw1w2q
1. OBB files goes in: sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone (create the dir manually)
2. Install apk
3. fix app settings for screen - The game needs a 6 inch screen to run, so there needs to be some tinkering to meet this criteria on the OPO.
So far I have tried with various settings in "App Settings" @ Xposed Framework, trying diffrent DPI's + xlarge scale to emulate a tablet dispaly, but the game keeps crashing at "sign-in"
The fix seems to be here: http://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/cmwfy74
new apk and obb!!
Hello
Please if you did manage to run hearthstone please tell me how. Thank you

1. Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7bt0kr0hs66qf4k/하스.zip
2. OBB files goes in: sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone (create the dir manually)
3. Install the apk
4. Get xposed framework and "app settings module" - set xlarge scale for the heathstone app (Note xposed does not work on 5.0.x roms, so you need to be on a KitKat rom.)
5. Run Hearthstone, enojy!
About the app setting module
Hi I could do everything, now in the app setting module I only need to check the xlarge scale? or do I need to put some specifitc DPI? I only checked the xlarge and oppenned hearthstone, then it toldme that only worked on tablets above 6 in. Thank you for everything
This should do the job
Well for me this
>> http://ul.to/3gjvo0hs
worked very well.
It contains the modified apk and the obb files.
Hope I could help.
1. Open Terminal Emulator after installing game
2. Type "su" then grant access
2 Type "wm size 1440x2560"
Then you can play Hearthstone without that 6 inch limit
After your done playing you can type in Emulator "wm size reset"
No need for "hacked" files with this method.

I downloaded an app called Kernel Tweaker. I then went to the edit build.prop section and I changed the Screen DPI to 226. After I rebooted my icons were extra large and SystemUI kept crashing. No navigation bars were present either.
So I wanted to know the default DPI so that I can edit build.prop from my PC and recover my device...
I have a GT-N8010 running stock Touchwiz KitKat 4.4.2, rooted...
Hi there... recently Flashed 5.1, rooted my device then went ahead and tried to change the DPI like I always do after a flash and its not working...
I have tried setting the value ro.sf.lcd_density to 400 and it wont register.
The setting has definately been modified when i review the build file...
I have tried various apps that change DPI too and none of them work
Any ideas?
Hi,
- I've rooted my one+ One phone and have TWRP installed.
- I'm running Cyanogenmod 12.1. (Android 5.1.1)
- I have Xposed installed and Ifont with it's per-app module activated in Xposed.
I'm trying to do two things: 1. Change the system font. 2. Once the system font is changed, change the clock font back to the factory font.
Using Ifont, I successfully change the system font. However, I am unsuccessful at changing the clock font back to default android font or any other fonts without soft-bricking the phone after reboot. In Ifont, I go to per-app function. I select the clock app and change the font family to the default android font. But once I reboot, the phone gets stuck at the Cyangenmod boot logo. Luckily, I have a back up which I restore afterwards. I have tried with the google clock app as well as the Chronus widget.
Could anyone help me achieve this step by step or is this not possible to do. I have tried different things I found on the internet but none work or don't apply to me.
Thank you very much.
