Hi,
I am new to the p7. I am used from my Samsung and nexus devices to adapt via build.prop DPI in order to see more things on screen.
Build.prop has no DPI setting. How (which app?) Proved to securely change DPI? And what is stock DPI for 1080 and 720p (rog)?
Thanks
No one feeling the need to show more on screen? [emoji22]
Hi,
Have you found a solution for this yet?
I've recently got myself a P7 and I'm trying to get something similar to 240 dpi(like my s3).
People have mentioned ROG tech, but I can't find that option anywhere.
ROG setting is under Settings - Power Saving, then menu (upper right corner) setting.
Rog? I tgought its resolution (I.e HD 720p instead of full HD1080p)? Is there also a setting for density hidden besides ROG?
rog doesnt do the trick
I've activated ROG, but all it does it help the battery to last longer, by reducing performance and screen res.
What I (and op) are looking for, is something to change the dpi (pixel density/LCD density). Like on samsung phones, you can do it through build.prop
No one managed to edit dpi?
Still have a problem...
Where.is the rog option in emui3?
changing dpi on P7 ??? such little screen ?? NO POINT it is tiny already ..
As it says in the title, does EmotionUI 4.1 of the P9 have the view mode setting to change the dpi settings of the phone?
I was playing with a P9 at local store and noticed that the icons are huge. Compared it with the Galaxy S7 that was next to it, which was set to condensed mode, on same XDA page the S7 displayed more than a third more. I remember that Huawei P8 has the ability to decrease dpi setting with the view setting. Had a quick peek in the P9 settings but didn't see it.
I can't see any setting for it. In the Display section there is a setting for Font size, and in the Battery manager section there is a setting to change the resolution to 720x1280. But no DPI setting as far as I can see.
it is possible via adb! also works without root.
Code:
adb shell wm density 430 && adb reboot
430 is for dpi. stock is 480.
if you go below 430 some elements of the camera app get shifted.
not working anymore

You need to have root and change the DPI on your build.prop
did a factory reset. then tried again and now it worked like a charm. Set the dpi to 360, and the camera stopped working. but it still works on snapchat and facebook messenger.

Hey there,
i have Oreo on p9 AL10 and dont find the correct build.prop for huawei p9. None of the settings i found in the internet works. did you find a solution for Oreo? (rooted/unlocked)
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?
Hi !
Have you some features that you wish to be included on Emui 8.0 but you have to find an app to make it happened ?
There is my list :
Caffeine > Caffeinate
More Quick Tiles options > Shortcutter Quick Settings
AdBlock > Blokada and Yandex
Merged Storage (or move apps to SD) > not found yet :crying:
Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
A good Dark/Black Theme that don't mess with the UI > Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
Don't hesitate to share !

Multiple user accounts, it's such a shame Huawei crippled that option when it's supported by the underlying operating system. No workaround that I know of...
Wish there was an auto setting for the backlight...
First world problem I know but it's not ideal to have to adjust brightness yourself
There is merged storage. Its just not clear how to do it. Go into settings, then storage. Underneath the SD Card option there is an option called storage settings, default location. Change it to SD card, the tablet will reset and you will now have joint storage. Works fine for me. Having the 16gb version with only 7gbs available was a real shocker for me. I wouldn't have purchased it, if i had known this. I mean, seriously, why do they need over 8 gigs for the OS+install files?
Anyway, I slapped in a 32gb card, did the above and all my apps install on the SD card now.

I suppose you are not speaking seriously. Have you checked your internal storage before and after installing some apps?
There's no way you can merge the memory. Wish it was that easy.

Tried few values between around 700, but UI gliched a bit, camera UI was broken and few buttons were on top of each other.
If anyone have a valid value we would appreciate it.
Thanks for answer.
This low DPI for 1920x1200 screen are not serious from Huawei...
I set 720 dp. Settings menu are glitched.

Exactly, very useful for a tablet, especially when you have a kid. A shame…

Hello,
Values 679 to 754 glitches settings menu.
I set Smallest Width at 678 dp.
I used face unlock on my 2014 Nexus 9. It's a shame they have REMOVED this feature from original android. I was thinking of getting a MediaPad M5 Pro AND a Mate 20 Pro. I'm glad I have bought this cheaper tablet before. I'll never buy anything else from huaweii again.

No Screensaver on my Device
I bought the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 3GB/32GB and I am not able to find a Setting to activate a Screensaver.
Is my Tablet broken ?
Hey all, just got the 4gb t5. My first one had a backlight issue but new one seems pretty good!
My main issue was the size of the items on screen and the launcher. Lawnchair and lawnfeed solved the launcher easy enough but thought I'd share how I got to the item scaling menu.
I used the app quickshortcutmaker:
- Add widget to desktop, choose quickshortcutmaker
- Change search mode to normal
- Search for 'vision' and only one option should pop up, select that
- You can choose to make this a shortcut, or you can just hit test and it will open up the vision settings window.
- Choose view mode and said the item size down a notch!
This changes the display to be a little smaller without any glitches.
Hope this helps someone out!

I can't find the option in developer menu. Can you share please? Thanks
It's called "smallest width" in developer options, but doesn't stick after a reboot. If you use the method I put above you should get the smallest ui and without bugs, and it seems to hold when I turn the tablet off then on
Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width

Is there a way to make the fonts smaller? I've adjusted the font scale setting to the lowest under Settings>Display but I'm still finding the fonts quite large compared to the Pixel.
In Gmail in particular I'm only seeing 7 emails per screen

Try lowering minimum width. Enable developer option and scroll down to it, I don't know if you can go below 300dp, that's gonna be very tiny anyways.
I raised the width setting from 384 to 500. That's seems to have worked. Thanks
Go into developer mode then set smallest width DPI to 511 default is 411 bingo looks great now
