I've seen some posts in the G2 threads about adjusting DPI.
Can anyone tell me how they're doing this?
My text messages and keyboard are freaking huge. Like Jitterbug huge.
And what is a good DPI to set it to?

Well, first you have to have root. then after that, easiest way is to find the build.prop text file which is located in /System i think and edit it with some text editor. Find the line that controls your LCD density. not Sure which line on the G2 yet. Someone else help? but after you change that line to 360 or so, that's what i've heard so far, then just save the file successfully then reboot and you should have a smaller resolution.
Also, some people have been talking about using xposed framework to change some DPI to stock for some .apk's such as the camera or the launcher etc.
Hope this helps a little.

So the problem is simply the secondary LCD Density. Can I get the default values?

it actually works on other devices as well...i have installed the Flip Clock & Launcher in my Atrix...and its looking pretty awesome in my homescreen!! u should also give it a try.....[i didnt try the boot animation...so not sure about it]
The launcher doesn't seem to scale correctly and there are some other icons over the dock.

you have to enter in launcher setting, now dock settings, then tap twice any option and back to launcher
Change the dpi to 270 and everything fits perfectly. I'd suggest an app like LCD Density Modder Pro so you can apply a permanent market fix. For the overlay on the dock I'd say turn on Tint AB and put the AB Scale to 1. Doesn't completely get rid of the overlay but it definitely makes it less noticeable like in my screenshot.

I wanted to make sure LG G2 users know that installing Xposed Framework and using the App Setting module allows per app DPI adjustments on stock LG ROMS. I put together a guide if anyone wants to give it a try and threw in some screen shots so you get an idea why you'd want to change your DPI.

Here is Yahoo mail app at 300 dpi, compare how many emails you can preview at 480 default dpi.

Tested on my rooted Verizon LG G2 (with 1st OTA).
Below 300 dpi testing
If anyone is interested in testing how the LG G2 looks below 300 dpi or any other device. I found that LCDDensity works best. It doesn't retain the settings so you'll return to default value on reboot. Until I got my G2 and started using Xposed Framework with the App Setting module it was my density changer of choice.
Hi, do you know how to correct the empty border problem with the stock camera app when using dpi lower than 480? I tried xposed app settings just for that app, and it doesn't fix the problem.
Edit: NVM. I didn't have the modules enabled. Thanks.
I installed Xposed Framework some weeks ago only for DPI settings.
Works pretty well and I love it.
Only stuff that doesn't work for me is the rotation settings. But that's not a problem. I'm using tasker for this.
I just used the App Settings 1.5 in Xposed. I just wanted to lower the dpi on the messaging app (the bubbles are freaking huge and annoying), and went down to 320.
But the wallpaper behind the bubbles is all screwed up; it shifted to the left. I raised the dpi to 335, but no change.
Any work around?
I flashed the rom spidero with 380dpi, with this xposed how reset dpi for nova launcher?

Hi everyone!
I searched many places looking for a version of Eleven to work in my Pocket Neo running CM12.1, to no avail, so I decided to make one myself, one which works on low dpi devices like ours!
I just added a layout that fits in our screen, so it's not much great. And it has a couple bugs so feel free to send screenshots and report!
It works normally on other devices too, so no need to worry about installing it elsewhere
Known bugs
Theme engines: If the theme works, it will make the app crash when changing album background(that blurred parte). Although the theme most probably won't work.

Yes, I know. I'm working on it
Sorry for the delay. My PC keyboard broke and I can not estimate how soon I will get a new keyboard, *however* i'm working on something nice for all devices ( while I'm on my phone ), and additionally this modded app will NOT be forgotten.
Big thank you,bro

I don't use AudioFX much so it's pretty unlikely I'll do it for now. Regarding Messages... What's really wrongly sized? It looked fine for me all along

Cant believe that this is normal, but when I scroll, the font/icons become blurry. I googled about it and the only answer I found is, that old Amoled had this problem. But even my Galaxy S3 is crystal clear when scrolling. It's like a motion-blur effect in vertical direction when scrolling vertically.
Do you have this problem too? Actually it's one some of my old displays too, but I dont expect it on an IPS panel from 2016...
Try this
Settings/Developer Options/ Tick on "Force GPU Rendering" this should make your Android phone smoother/snappier!
If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store!
LG G5 & LG V20 are snappy beasts and are well optimised with Snapdragon 820 and is better than Samsung.
Thanks for posting this standard answer again like you did before on another thread No this does not do anything, like I told you before. No it's not rooted, and trim does not affect how the display works. Are you even posting stuff you copy paste from somewhere else?

You see the double frames, in my oppinion the display just has not 60hz/fps or has horrible input lag / refresh timings.
I set dpi through dev option but problem is default launcher is zoom out and it back to default when restart
Same thing happen with Adb method.
Any help? Thank you!

I'm ok with dpi @ 423 but want bigger font. But I can not change.

I don't get it...
I'm fine with Emui, but the widget are so... big, I guess by increasing DPI they would looks better.
Can you explain please?

The huge widgets are one of my biggest issues with Emui. The huge icons I can live with, but the widgets are downright horrible, and are forcing me to use a different launcher.
I hope it's a bug (and therefore can get fixed) and not intended behaviour.

I'm using the Microsoft launcher which I find really good, especially as I'm a heavy user of microsoft apps and services.
You need to install fluid NG though, as default gestures don't work well with other launchers... Provided you use gestures, of course
I like it too, I've used it years a go (Microsoft launcher)
Under Developer Menu there's a voice about
Minimum length doing =423
(Sorry for the translation, I'm with Italian language )
Maybe by reducing it we could obtain smaller widget too?
