I changed the build.prop DPI to 240, then a few apps back to 320 using the custom settings that came with the ROM.

Either using a root-capable file explorer and navigating to the system/build.prop file and using the built-in text editor to modify it, or (easier) download a DPI changer from the Play Store.

Thanks boss, yeah I use either Total Commander or Root Explorer but I'll check out that DPI changer in the Play Store.

Yea. Really. I have no interest in changing all of my dpi settings. I would like to change it independently similar to changing dpi for select apps (file managers, Gmail, gvoice, etc). I'm talking about the screens the user navigates through after clicking menu and then settings.
And to further clarify my poorly worded question, I know how to change it but was wondering which "application" to change the dpi on to make desired changes.
Make sense?

Setting usually has issues when being changed through xposed
Just tried to do it and it won't stick through exposed at all

You have to go into the xposed framework installer and install it first, then go to modules and enable App Settings. From there you can manually change the DPI on a per-app basis. I have the build.prop modified for a 240DPI and then just change some apps back to 320, such as phone, camera, etc.

Obviously I have done this already boss. Lol xposed is easy to use. Changing dpi for JUST settings will not stick. If you change your entire build prop, then obviously it will work. He was asking about ONLY changing settings. He probably wants the tablet style settings and everything else a more normal dpi. Touch wiz settings won't go into tablet mode like that though.
