Hi,
what is optimal DPI in your opinion, for the OP7 Pro?
And how does variable screen resolution affect DPI set in settings? Times used to be easier when display resollution was fixed at 1080p. Do one needs to disable this autochanges in settings to keep table image size?
I used to have either 390 or 400 DPI set virtually all the time on my Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5 and Oneplus 6T... But with this unnecessarily high resolution that is, absurdly, used only sometimes, I would like to hear your experiences.
Thanks
In OOS, I use the "Small" setting in display which comes to 470dpi
In AOSP, it is probably pretty similar. I basically move the slider in display down one notch. I am not currently on AOSP so I'm not positive what that setting is or the actual dpi value.

Hi everyone
So, I have this Android Tablet called the Haipad M701 which runs on Android 2.1
By default the icons and everything are HUGE, doesn't look too good So, I rooted the device and found a density setting which by default was at 240. I changed it to different values between 160 to 240 and with smaller values it looks very nice
BUT at any value other than the default 240, almost ALL apps and games are no longer in fullscreen
Does anybody know if there might be a fix for that?
Thanks
wow... not a reply since sept... not sure if you get it fixed or not.
one step you can try is to turn off the compatibility mode in your tablet.
this should fill up the whole screen in most apps except some apps that written specifically for small screen phone without adding large screen display mode in it.
LCD Density is a tweak I like to make due to my eye sight (or lack thereof). There are a few apps that will change this setting for you provided you have root access. The problem I've run into is the dreaded "your device is not compatible" on the Play Store (Android Market). The reason behind this was due to an awkward setting. 2 out of 3 apps I've used in the past had pre-set configurations. Usually the settings to choose from were 240 (default) 260, 280. On the smaller side were 220, 200, and 180. What I found out recently is 256 is the native PPI. So do yourself a favor and find an app that has a sliding scale in increments of 1 PPI and set your Atrix2 to 256 if you'd like a bit larger images and text. Its helped me feel comfortable using my phone and I no longer incur the Play Store (Google please change the name back) error. Otherwise I'd have to readjust the LCD density, reboot, clear data for the Store and THEN go get the app. Then change the density BACK...reboot. you get the idea. It was painful. So to make a short story long, LCD density at 256 for the farsighted people like me. Whew! Didn't mean for that to be so long. Hope it helps.

On my OnePlus 3T and my S7 Edge, there is an option in the Display settings that allows me to adjust the overall display size. It will reduce or increase the look and size of the entire display (smaller text, icons, menus). Does anyone know if the Mate 9 has the same menu, or anything similar?

If you enable that developer options, there is an option labeled "Smallest width", changing that will adjust the dpi and scale everything smaller or bigger.

FYI...The bigger the number, the smaller everything gets. It's the opposite of changing the density in the build prop. I personally like to leave my display size at large and set the smallest width value to 500.

In the settings menu, you tap...display then tap view mode. Then you can choose large, medium or small. I personally like changing the smallest width in developer settings.
Maybe is it possible to get tablet ui working here? Tryed to change dpi through dev options, but nothing, if i even set it to 600.
On Nexus 6p, i put that on 590 and had tablet ui in apps working.
You can just change it in the display mode setting no need to mess about I have it on small
Screenshot for above

I could get a quasi tablet looking interface for gmail app using a dpi of 800. By tablet looking interface I mean that, besides the usual list of emails, some of the options you get by swiping to right from left edge were present on the screen without swiping. For example I now had the option to switch email provider, (from gmail to aol) without swiping. The problem is that changing dpi to 800 hosed "settings". It would crash if I tried to open it. Fortunately the dpi did not stick when I rebooted. For those that use Dolphin browser, by changing dpi to 480 (from the default 432) you can get a 4 by 4 grid of icons for speed dial (instead of the 3 by 3 that comes by default setting of dpi).
Personally, I would not want my global dpi to be 800. I would just want certain apps to run with higher dpi. Normally I do this with the Xposed module App Settings. But, as AFAIK, that is not possible on nougat at this point. If someone knows how to modify an app to change it's individual dpi setting please do chime in!
guys I'm trying to reach the best DPI setting so i would like to know what you guys are using. thanks
403
360 with Small font size.
380. Best for me.
410

What are the settings Small, Default, Large in "Display Size" equivalent to in actual DPI?
I run in the 'Small' display size setting with default font size.

Me too.
I saw somewhere in seething a dpi seething, but never touched, i only set up "small" in display size.
QUESTION:
use smaller screen size and/or dpi will consume more battery while screen active?
guys I've found my perfect DPI settings 401, try out!
How can I change the dpi ?

Settings/system/developer options then find "smalest width"

Answering my own question:
Small: 423 dpi
Default: 360 dpi
Large: 320 dpi
A 5.5" 1080p screen pixels are actually 401 dpi so would the 'correct' settings for the 100% Android stock experience be 401 dpi with default font size?
401, who is the "natural" dpi for a 5.5 inch display full hd, seems much cleaner and defined compared to the 423 default minimum dpi.
I may sound crazy but I use 500 dpi. Initially I had set to smallest which I later turned it up to 500 after finding it could be changed in the developer options. I have a lot of real estate on my phone now. It kinda feels I'm using my computer on my phone and since I do a lot of coding everyday, it feels natural. Give it a shot. It may feel weird, but give it a shot.
I set mine to 420, which translates to 411 when I checked back in the Display settings

yes is true, why this difference beetwheen the dpi from develop option "minimum dpi" and the "display setting"?

Hi,
I have a question regarding the screen resolution on our Pixel 3 XL. I want to know if we can reduce the resolution from 2960x1440 to something smaller like 1480x720 (720p) or something else close to 1080p?
I am asking this because I want to see if it will provide a boost to battery life, and frankly, most of the times we don't need the higher resolution. If this switch could be scripted/made one click, it will be pretty easy to just switch to higher resolution when needed. Of course this is just a hypothetical situation if such a setting can be found.
I have looked around and found DPI to be the closest setting. However, reducing the DPI doesn't seem to change the rendered or displayed resolution. If any of you have some insight on how to change the resolution, please share.
Thanks,
AJ
