You can use Dolphin browser or Boat browser to enable the fullscreen mode without the address and tab bar which uses up screen space.
You can also adjust the text size if you like in the browser's setting. Increasing legibility and using dynamic mode on the display setting helps too.

Once rooted, you can change your dpi in build.prop to fix this. Don't be surprised if it breaks other things though!

The
I tried to change res both higher 120 and lower 350 but both got problem , either the phone FC or the messaging FC , no luck , I think need to wait for custom rom
the best option is to use xposed framework
you can get it work after rooting
no need to flash
1. root the mega
2. install xposed framework like normal apk and xposed app setting app
3.now install module by going in to xposed framework app restart the mega
4.now install xposed app setting and restart again
5. open the xposed app setting app and choose any app you want to change its dpi or resolution without changing the whole system dpi,you wont get any fcs or unstable mega

I want to change the LCD Density on my Galaxy Mega 6.3 that natively has 240 DPI resolution. Its all a bit small for me and some apps doesn't even scale properly and are ridiculously small and not properly displayed. I come from an old original Galaxy Tab 7 (that also natively has 240 DPI resolution but with with much more readability and larger everything as it has a larger display with a lower resolution LCD)
I am using an app called Resolution Changer (and have tried a few other similar apps that do the same job and work fine) to set the the phone to 260 or 280 DPI.At these resolutions (for me) the Mega is much more usable and all looks bit bigger and better on screen. Even the formatting of some apps that at 240 DPI look awkward and have some elements displaced or ridiculously small, at 260 or 280 DPI look MUCH better.
Everything works perfectly well at these settings except the Samsung Phone/Contacts/Messaging & Camera apps that FC. The Messaging and Camera apps don't matter because I simply use a 3rd party app and the problem gets instantly solved. However the Phone/Contacts app is a real problem because the phone becomes useless as "phone".. and using a 3rd party dialer doesn't fix the problem because these add-on dialers still need the native phone app to actually make/receive a call (basically Android 3rd party dialers are actually just a skin on top of the native phone app).
Is there a known workaround for this? I have no idea how to fix this and think that Samsung locking their apps at a fixed resolution that cant be changed is really stupid. Samsung makes great hardware and horrible software..
Thanks in advance for any feedback or solution on this on how to make it work.
Have you tried this?

you can solve it by replace Phone/Contacts with galaxy s3 Phone/Contacts from 4.2 leak or there another fix there is file you can flash it with recovery file can enable Phone/Contacts 260 and 280 dpi without problems

I still haven't done it. The problem is I have no idea where to get these files. I guess my best optionis to download an S3 4.2 ROM and try extract them.. would be a lot easier if someone could share these files already from an S3 ROM. But so far no luck. I have no idea what ROM to choose or if then I can simply extract the apks with WinRAR or another zip utility.. so this is where I am right now..
I rooted my Ultra. Changed DPI to 240 - LOVE IT! Still on stock rom.
Most of the app adapted ok for new DPI but some not.
Installed "Exposed" and managed to get some good result adjusting Clock, Swift keyboard etc
Problem is the sistem Dialer (screen shot attached)
It's not actually a dialer.... It's the screen when the call is in progress.
I tried different 3rt party dialers but as soon i press call from any dialer i see this screen.
It is always in portrait mode.
It is usable but it looks ugly and needs to adapted for new DPI.
How can i adapt this screen to 240dpi using Expose?
What sistem app i need to modify.?
Thanks in advance for help.
in Exposed, have you tried changing Android System's dpi?
Verry interested by changing the DPI on the official rom.
What's the best way to do this ?
Just root the device and change the DPI setting in the build.prop ?
Using app setting I changed the phone and phone/messaging apk to 320dpi and screen to 480x854 also do the same for the contacts. Reboot and call yourself should be back to normal.
ParanoidAndroid is soon available for the Ultra. Check the dev section

hi there, i use the rom aeonflex on my LG G2 and can't use themer because of the screen resolution, G2 uses 1920*1080, but in the settings menu of themer says 1803*1080, DPI 480.
themer says it cannot work cause the menu bar reduces the screen dimension and cannot work.
some help?????

That's odd though. Make sure you haven't adjusted the sizing of the bar in any way. Any small change in your display settings will throw off all of the Themer settings.
themer will not work for me in my rom either ... i havent touched the dpi or anything .. it is 480 I believe but the screeen resolution is coming up as 1803x1080 :S... I do not know how to fix it
Yeah same here for my Xperia Z Ultra. I'd really like to try Themer, but it doesn't support the ZU. I'm on stock Sony build, no tweaks to nav bar or DPI that I know of. When I check the screen dimensions under Themer Debug Info, it says it is 1824x1080 with a DPI of 320. Perhaps it is the DPI that is the problem? Either way, would sure love a fix so I can try Themer out.

Hi Danial,
If your phone is rooted, please check that any other display setting has been set to default. This includes any height settings of notification/nav bars or any resolution settings. If you visit gsmarena.com, your phone settings should match the stock display settings for the G2.

Hi luvboox,
The developers are working very hard to improve Themer's performance and other features, however adding more device support won't be easy due to lack of resources. Once Themer is more stable we'll look into more device support such as the Z Ultra
If still not working, please see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775244

Hi all,
I have found a way to change the dpi without root, just using adb and cmd and it worked like a charm...well, almost. There are a couple of UI glitches that appear when you reduce (or increase for that matter) the dpi.
Firstly, the icons on the home screen mess up, but that's not SUCH an issue as you can install another launcher or in my case, find an icon pack that doesn't show the mess up quite as much (my preferable choice because you see the icons set in different areas of the UI, such as the notifications shade and recents menu, settings, etc.)
Secondly, and the most annoying, is the crop function messes up in the weirdest way. Whether it be when changing wallpaper or trying to crop a picture in CamScanner, the image you choose appears zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out or even move the image around, only zoom in further.
Now, my question is, has anyone managed to find a suitable dpi that MIUI does not have a problem with, or are there some standard dpi's MIUI uses apart from 480? Or has anyone found a way around any of these issues (or any other issues they may have encountered when changing the dpi)? Last but not least, is there a custom version of MIUI out there, or a rom that has it's visuals (and camera app) but custom tailored to suit various dpi's and other modifications?
I really cannot live with the stock dpi of 480, it's like using a phone made for old people, waaaay too large EVERYTHING on a large screen, I want to see more on a large screen. But I also am not yet prepared to go off MIUI as I really like their UI, visually, and I know any other rom will lose a lot of camera quality amoungst some other things like battery life, etc.
Thanks guys in advance for any advice.

If the original one is 386 I think 400 is kinda useless... Or did you mean 300?
Original is 403dpi if I'm not mistaken. I set mine to 375 and it's absolutely perfect..
Default density is 480.

No, the original is 480, which is too large...where did you get the number 386 from? perhaps it is another one of their phone's stock DPI, which means MIUI might not warp on this DPI value? Will check it out, but any information you have, please let me know

OK will try at home then.
Just to be sure - phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode to accept ADB commands from PC right?
used some of the suggested DPI's but...
so, thanks guys, used some of the suggested DPI values, 386 and 375, and mostly everything works fine....except still some small issues with the icons and the cropping. try and set a wallpaper for a whatsapp group for example, photo shows as zoomed in and cannot zoom out to choose a crop of the WHOLE image like I used to....have attached some screenshots of what happens to my icons....is this possibly because I am not rooted that the DPI value is not getting set in to the system correctly? Is anyone who is rooted facing the same issues or not?
might convince me to root, this is the first device i have managed to be happy without rooting lol

No, no need....as long as you have ADB drivers installed and you are launching the CMD from within the ADB folder, it will work. Oh and of course USB debugging enabled and the first time it tried to access the phone for ADB details, you will need to allow it to by hitting remember and ok on the phone

The original isn't near 386. I went down to 380 and everything it far smaller than a 6 dpi difference. I'd say stock is closer to 430 - 450
Yes man, you was right the original DPI is 440, the app textdroiderDPI was showing me an incorrect value of 386 (maybe a little bug...).
Setting it on 440 with LeDpiChanger gave me a full stock MIUI size
Stock is 480DPI, changers give bad result...just root and change build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=

You can use Xposed / AppSettings . Then set dpi to a huge number, or the screen size to a huge number. One of these should work. I had tabs, and wanted to switch, so that's what I did:

thanks, I tried changing both dpi & screen resolution and the res change showed a single tab as the page loaded - then blanked out as the page load completed.
can you suggest a specific setting? it does indeed feel like the right app for the job. i'd never heard of it before so cheers for the heads-up.
