DPI Sony Xperia T2 Ultra UI

Hi guys I played around with the DPI of this phone cuz to my liking the icons are to big and this big screen can estate more space,,
Set the dpi to 338 in the system/build.prop file
Any other values from 321-360 is T2 Ultra UI but under 338 it's to small and above 338 it keep crop the system images like in lockscreen if u play music it will crop the controls and u will be able to see only the picture of the song cover
Any other DPIs
Tablet UI = 160 (small) limited (140-160) chose any value between
Tablet UI = 240 (big) limited (160-240) chose any value between
Phablet UI = 320 (Xperia Z Ultra UI small) limited (241-320) chose any value between
Phablet UI = 360 (Xperia T2 Ultra UI big) limited (321-360) chose any value between
Default UI = 480 limited (361-480) chose any value between
Just wanted to give information that's all cuz I saw many ppl on other threads aswell keep asking abt dpi have fun to change
My favorite is 338 not to small and not to big have more space and numeric row on keyboard aswell

great information.. i used it before but i have some problems in sony app layouts. for example in the calls everything goes to top left and makes it annoying ...just look at the pictures.. anyway to fix that?
and as you see my keyboard is smaller than yours and no numberics... what to do about that?

320 Is perfect for me. I call it Z1 Ultra

Awesome!
But is there a way to set big icons like Nexus 5/Google Now launcher?
Cheers!

Try to use another keyboard e.g. TouchPal or restore stock lcd density.

so far i tried 2 keyboard, swiftkey and android L keyboard. unfortunately, it's still the same. I don't want to restore the density for some reason.:crying:

So, just set the density back to stock, install xposed frame work and use the module "App settings" to set dpi per app. keyboard won't be affected

so you mean I've to set dpi for each apps, right? That was helpful, indeed. I will do that, if I can't find any simpler solution.

I do it this way

Changing DPI

You can change the dpi on the stock ROM without ROOT by chaging the "smallest width" setting in developer settings. I have mine set to 550 it's looks amazing!

Here is a screenshot of setting menu at 550.

You could also just change the setting in Settings > Display > Advanced > Display Size > Small

411 is default. 434 is the smallest you can go to get an extra icon of space on the status bar (meaning you can fit another icon before you get the overflow dot). 453 is the magic number for the notification side. "Small" per the post above is 484.
Worth it, you can barely notice a difference otherwise. Now if only we had an option to do ONLY the status bar... then we'd be cookin. But this will do for now.

Nope it's not the same. Putting that setting on small does not work on everything. And this way you can go even smaller then the "small" setting.

I have the setting pure+ posted on normal and put the setting I posted on 551 I feel like that's the perfect mix for me ATM. I will keep playing with it to see if I can find a better combo.

It actually is. If you change the setting and go into dev options it shows the dpi changed. Only difference is it's defaulting to a predetermined dpi

Ah yes you are right. Thanks for the heads up.
The small setting only changes it to 484 too big for me still! I like it around 550

Full disclosure I didn't check to verify this, although I already suspected it, until you said something lol

Yeah the olny problem doing it that way is that the change is not enough to really notice a difference.

unfortunately doing it this way compared to doing it via build.prop makes Swiftkey tiny as well

Any one have a suggestion for something in between stock 411 and small 484? Small is just a bit too much for my taste so looking for a happy medium

can we change the DPI through build.prop yet now that we have root?
I added ro.sf.lcd.density=550 and it doesnt seem to be doing anything
doing it through the developer options makes the keyboard unusable.

Which keyboard are you using?

SwiftKey but 550 was a bad example. I want to make everything smaller, so I went down to something like 450 and the keyboard was very hard to use. Same with the default Gboard

Are you rooted? If so I can tell you how to make gboard bigger but I am not sure about Swiftkey

I am rooted yes so I would love to know besides the Gboard setting that increases the size.

Here check if this will work for you! This is the method I was using on my pixel 2 xl it worked great, just one issue is sometimes I could not get the txt edit to save and had to edit the line then got to setting and force stop gboard then go back and save the text file.

Thanks for that link, worked for me on Gboard. Hopefully there will be a solution that I can still use Swiftkey but if not I will be going this route once I get home and adjust the DPI further

I don't have the Pixel yet & I've never tried changing DPI, so forgive me if this doesn't help or if you've already tried this, but Swiftkey has a setting built in to resize the keyboard. I believe it's normally set at "medium", then there is a "large" & "largest" setting to make the keyboard bigger. Go to Swiftkey Settings>Typing>Resize.

Tidal app

Hiis someone using tidal music app on his Android head unit?

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?

DPI Change

The default DPI is 560, the screen is 516, i like the 516 dpi setting better, but the lockscreen fingerprint gets out of place, anyone has an idea to fix this behavior?
thanks

the small gives 490DPI, i think its to small, 516 is the sweet spot for me, but locksreen gets broken, you have to change in terminal
Code:
wm density

Phone app is so huge, how to change dpi of only this app?
