Small problem with 240 DPI on SystemUI - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
I use xposed app settings to set dpi.
So i set SystemUI to have the notification bar show at 240 dpi but for some reason the app usage space is still the same. So there is this gap which is very obvious when i use apex launcher. (Apex launcher seems to add a tint to the background, touchwiz doesn't.) When i open apps the gap is there too but not noticeable since its black.
Am i missing something or am i doing something wrong?
here are some pics:

large icons theme without resorting to editing LCD density?

Are there any large icon/dock themes with larger fonts out there that I can use without having to resort to editing the LCD Density via an app or editing the build.prop file?
I ask because my mother is considering getting a Nook Color, and her eyesight isn't the best plus I want to avoid her fat fingering the wrong icons
I don't want to modify LCD density because of sharpness loss.
Even a theme that has the icon size for application grid, status bar, and dock modded to be (significantly) larger would work great. I've tried ADW and Zeam but they don't offer the functionality I need.
In the newest update of ADW EX, you can set the size of the icons and text without having to change the density.
Desktop Visualizer lets you change the icon size of apps on your home screen. Not in the app drawer though.

Thanks, I downloaded it and like it, I wish it would let you edit the status bar + icons size too though.
LauncherPro doesn't have some feature that can do this that I can't find, does it?

To get larger fonts "in general" the option resides in the Spare Parts App, but it doesn't effect the size of the icons or home, menu, or search buttons.
So I bought ADW EX and it's exceptionally buggy on my Nook Color and on my HP TouchPad. However, I do really like how things look on the TouchPad with the large HDPI icons. Is there really no way to use those icons in a more stable launcher? I'd love to use 72x72 icons in VTL, GO, or LPP if possible, at least until ADW EX is more stable...

I have ADW.ex and yes, there are a few bugs but typically only with first launch. From a reboot or cold boot you have to relaunch adw and then it is smooth sailing. My biggest gripe is that you can't hide apps in the app drawer.

The size setting there only affects Google AOSP apps. It doesn't even affect Google's other apps.

Bigger Icons

Hello guys, is there is an app for unrooted galaxy SIII, that enlarge the icons that already exists on the phone? I don't want an app to choose manually the icons, I need something to activate it then all of the icons are bigger, or the font, so bigger font or bigger icons, font is the most important.
Not sure about icons but is there not a setting to have large text in "accessibility" settings? There is on AOSP roms. Also magnification gestures.

Install nova launcher prime, you can scale icons with that +/- 25%
There are't any apps which makes the existing icons bigger however you can use third party launcher's like apex nova etc to make the icons bigger and if you don't want to loose touchWiz look you can download a touchWiz theme for these launchers and you are good to go.........................Here' the links for launcher and theme..

[Q] Transparent icons for certain things (app drawer, settings, etc)

I'm trying to figure out how to get some transparent actions on my nova homescreen so I don't have to have the icons in the corners of the screen showing. Right now I just have the icons for the settings, app drawer, nova settings and camera shown in each corner but it looks kinda bad like that.
Anyone know any app or way to do this?

Why won't the grid size on Google Now Launcher change when I modify DPI?

As shown in screenshot, I've changed my DPI/smallest width in Developer options from 360 (default) to 400 (recommended by DPI calculator)
Everything is scaled down nicely including text, icons, and pretty much everything in the UI itself.
But what's bothering me is that the Google Now Launcher's grid won't change for some reason. It still has 4 columns and the spaces between them are so big. Shouldn't it change according to the DPI?
The Pixel Launcher I've downloaded also has the same problem. The dock adjusted fine, which is what I want because now I can put more apps within it. Now I want the same thing for the apps that are not on the dock. Why aren't they changing?
Notes:
Changing the DPI to a far larger number didn't work.
Restarting phone didn't do anything either.
Force stopping launcher didn't work too.

How to definitely change DPI

Hi guys,
How can I definitely change the DPI of my device?
The Mi A3 native DPI it's 260 or 360 I guess, but it makes the UI elements so big, and I hate it! So, I came to developer options and changed the DPI to 510 which looks so much better, with small letters, icons, status bar and nav bar. But everytime I reboot our just lock and unlock my phone the icons and all others UI elements return to their normal size, so I need to go again to the developer options and change it again.. Is there a way to fix it? Can I do something using ADB commands? Thx in advance!
Facing same issue....also looking for any adb command or something which do not require root
You can change the display size , and the font. Otherwise you can install nova launcher or lawnchairlauncher V2 where you can make many changes to the size. ( lawnchair launcher v2 is very close to stock launcher with many more customizations )

They're talking about the android 10 bug in which certain elements (power menu, lock screen, notification shade) will revert to their original dpi even after changing the screen size.
Update: I just found the problem, it's in the fingerprint unlock. I just changed the fingerprint lock for a pin and now I can reboot my phone and the DPI doesn't get changed anymore. Now I'm searching for a way to fix it, cause the screen fingerprint it was one of the reasons who make me buy that phone.
Same for me
I also facing the same issue.. for me i used to toggle between dark and white modes then everything will fine..
for rooted device, "wm density" command should work.
