I wonder if there is a module or if it is at all possible to build a module that would change the phone's DPI on the fly, without rebooting?
This would be useful for all HDMI enabled devices where current DPI number does not make any sense when phone's display is mirrored on a big screen TV.... I know there is a per app option available but wonder if a global option, perhaps also toggling UI layout from phoneUI to tabletUI exists?
Thank you in advance.

Is there any possibility to fix the dpi in phone app? I changed screen dpi from 480 to 420, and it works great everywhere. Except in phone app. It doesn't adjust to the new settings. Why is that, and is there a way to fix it?
Best regards
You can use App Settings xposed module to set dpi per app.
Hi guys,
i have a big Problem.
Used Resolution Changer to change DPI on my G FLEX.
After return to stock value i have a unusable big Keyboard and big icons.
How to fix that ?
Most of LGs apps are hard coded to 320dp.
Everything but the keyboard (I've tried) can be fixed by using xposed and app settings module.
Find the misbehaving app, and set it to 320dp.

that means i cant fix the keyboard ?
i have to recover my phone right?
can i go to recovery mode and reset my phone ? or are there other steps to do with root ?
thx for help.
Setting DPI back to stock (320) should have made all of LGs stuff work properly.
So, fix your DPI back to stock with that app, then get rid of it.
I use:
xposed + app settings
In app settings I find system UI and android system, set them to the DPI I want (instead of setting the DPI in build prop), then fix DPI (set to 320) for any LG app that won't work with what I set.
However, LG keyboard is funky, it won't like anything but 320 anywhere. So, if you want smaller DPI you must use another keyboard like Google keyboard or any other keyboard on the play store.
(edit)
Did you make a full backup in recovery? If yes, go and restore it, and never use that resolution changer app again.

I have a Note 3 which I'm looking to make into my backup phone/dedicated GPS. It's currently on 4.4.2 and I would like to believe that, in the intervening major versions, many of the missing (obvious) OS features which made Xposed so necessary are now available as stock system options. Being familiar with the awful, pervasive anti-customization/pro-simplicity/for-dummies mobile development philosophy that now threatens even PC software, I'm afraid I'm probably wrong.
Ideally, of course, I'd want Xposed on my yet-to-be-determined 7.x phone, but if that isn't going to happen, I'd like to know if there are built-in options now to partially replace great Xposed modules like:
NotifyClean - In Android N, can I set rules to totally block specific notifications?
NeverSleep - Set certain applications to disable sleep mode when active?
Wanam Xposed - Theming options (assuming I go with a Samsung phone)?
Xposed LED Control - Different LED colors per notification type?
DoubleTapToSleep - Sleep without using a hard button?
BootManager
Network Speed Indicator
If someone familiar with Android N could comment on the list above, I'd be very grateful. I'd rather buy a 'new' older phone than get an S8 or similar and find (assuming there's even a root exploit) that my phone is crippled versus my nearly 4 years old Note 3.
Notifiyclean can be substituted by power notification controls, which I don't know if it comes with stock rom, but I know it's there for the rom I'm using.
Neversleep can be substituted by the caffeine toggle, if your rom has it. I believe you can also find it on the play store to use if it's not built-in.
Wanam Xposed, I haven't used in ages. Can't even remember what it does...
LED Control should be built-in, if not custom roms.
DoubleTapToSleep should be your kernel.
Bootmanager, I'm unsure... Maybe alternatives with root?
Network Speed Indicator can be done with apps or built-in from custom roms.

Thanks... It sounds like I should be able to get by without Xposed, though I don't know if I'll ever be able to install a custom ROM considering I will probably end up with an AT&T phone. I guess first I need to find a rootable phone.
Is there an alternative to App Settings module, to allow for per-app dpi settings without Xposed, because android n?

My first idea was Tasker, but I am not sure if you can modify the dpi value with Tasker itself. I guess with the help of an appropriate plugin, you should be able to set the dpi on a per-app base.
Hi all. I've bought my first Huawei device this morning it being the P10, and was just wondering about changing the DPI in developer options. What numbers are good to use?
I use 400 DPI as i prefer it more.
I use 445 but on the plus.
btw has anyone figured out how to make this setting stay after a re-boot?
Maybe there is an xml or a line that works in one of the build.prop files (system or vendor)
Would be nice to have our own independent of the 3 default options as per DB menu.
When i change dpi in dev options of p10 to 420 then phone app and camera app got error display.
Please help me fix?
Hey guys,
I am using the default OS that comes with the Huawei P10, and my phone is not rooted.
After the update to Android 9.0 with EMUI9 the pull down menu (quick menu from notification bar) is unbearable large. It seems like there are different DPI settings for the pull down menu only.
I actually can not stand the large icons, so normally I change to DPI 430 and/or change the size of text/display in the display settings.
However, it seems this does not have any impact anymore on the pull down menu.
Does anyone experience the same and has any idea how to fix this?

It is same for me and unfortunately it is default setting. I didn't try to modify anything with root yet but i seriously doubt that it is even possible to do something like that.
Same here. The dpi wont stick. I hope its just a bug. Not some crappy implementation from huawei.
