I would like to try tablet ui in all the apps and system,so please suggest suitable DPI.
about 280 to 290
If you are rooted I would use xposed an app settings and just do pre app changes as some apps dont play well with the changes

Thanks. Ya am using xposed. I have installed Phab7 module which makes status bar at bottom like tablet. Also using app setting modules for chrome, youtube etc.
Wanted to try changing DPI and see how it goes , well will give 280 dpi a try and if I feel comfortable then its good otherwise will stick to current Phab 7 and app settings modules.
One question.
If I change DPi of system UI to 280 in app settings modules will it give tablet like bottom status bar as in Phab7 module?
- DPI 290 and lower = Tablet statusbar (split)
- DPI 320 (and lower) and 800x1200 DP (in App Settings) tablet mode for apps
There is 4 dpi densities. 160, 240, 320 and 400. 160 and 240 are full tabled UI. 320 and 400 are phone UI. On 280 you got some kind of Phablet UI where some apps look like a phone UI (Play store) and some app like tablet UI (Chrome).
I have set dpi density to 240 on my ZU and it is just about to be to small but to me it is still okay. If you like you can enlarge font a bit. (Settings/display/font size) I just like tablet UI so much.
UI, UI, UI how many times I sad that? UI, UI....

That depends on how you're doing it. There are, like you say, only four official DPIs (160, 240, 320 and 400) but you can kick it into tablet mode way before 240 if you also adjust the DP. You can't do that by editing the build.prop, so we have to use a module like App Settings to set the DP to 800x1200, and then you'll get tablet mode at a higher DPI (without the split statusbar of course, since that required the DPI to be under 290). Yes, i've tried tablet mode at 400 DPI. A million cries could be heard across the universe when i hit "Apply". It's that bad.
320 DPI and 800x1200 DP looks right since the stock DPI for the Ultra (except for the GPe version) is 320, so all UI elements are properly fit. Anything under 320 is too small for me (personally) since i want to actually hit stuff with my finger when i'm standing on my legs, but that's just me though and people can set it to 20 DPI if they want too.

Yes i know about DP. I use to have Xposed with module for that. But then you have to set apps manually. That is way to much work for me and then I can not use ART cache and whole phone is a bit slower and battery is affected too. That is the reason I just simply put in DPI density to 240 in build.prop and forget about it. 6.44" screen is big enough for that. Anyway to me it is but like you sad it is just personal opinion.

True, it's a lot more work with App Settings, but if you don't want a "One size fits all" it's the only thing to do. There are also a lot of apps that i don't want in tablet mode, so the build.prop way of doing it isn't my style anymore. But like we've both mentioned already, it's all about personal preferences.
Thanks guys for all the responses.
Will give changing DPI to 240 in build.prop a try as I am already using app settings module.
@simunovic
So at 240 dpi status bar will be at bottom too? as I am more comfortable with bottom status bar.
@LordManhattan
Also if I change system UI using app settings module to 290 will it give tablet statusbar (split) as you mentioned.Or do I need to change something else too in app settings?

I don't think you can move status bar to the bottom anymore. Tablet UI dues not have that in 4.4.2 KitKat anymore. I am not sure about App setting module but regular way (build.prop editing) I don't believe is possible. You can try Paranoid Android ROM if you like. There is all of that and more. Personally I like that "old way" Tablet UI. To bad they changed that.

I am using stock 4.3 rooted so its possible on having status bar at bottom. Currently I am using Phab 7 xposed module and I have status bar at bottom.
Ya for kitkat it wont be possible.
Tried 240 DPI via build.prop and really love it. Really makes best use of big ultra screen. Has two status bar notifications one in phablet mode and other phone mode. Overall pretty impressed with it,going to stick with it. Also changed status bar to bottom by Phab7 so in end got what i aimed for

Paranoid Android is only in Beta for Android OS 4.4.x at the moment, they don't include hybrid settings until it leaves Beta. Even so, they are saying that the combined bar as we knew it is gone.
ETA: The only thing that I don't like about the combined bar is that it is hidden on the lockscreen, meaning no quick access to notifications.

I changed my DPI to 132 dpi in the build.prop file and rebooted. If I run an information app like SystemPanel or Android System Info, they report the DPI as 160dpi. Which one is the real DPI of the tablet? Why do they report this density? If 132dpi is the true density, then why do the fonts look odd in menus and a lot of apps?

afaik, android only recognizes like 4 dpi's: LDPI, MDPI (160), HDPI, something elsedpi. So, as far as the app knows, your running MDPI, but changing you value will still result in visual changes. I'm not 100% sure if this is accurate, but i think it is, lol
it works this way because there is so many densities and so many screen sizes in android.
Change Pixel Density for Galaxy Note 3 and Recommended DPI Settings for System Apps.
Requires Root!
Works on any Rom!
With the Note 3 Packing a 1920x1080 resolution, the first thing I did when I got the phone was work on taking advantage of the real estate the screen has to offer. Many of the Pixel density settings from the Note 2 work on the Note 3, but keep in mind the formula changed with the new screen size and resolution change. I'm just going to call it "Preferred DPI" as most will agree, its a comfortable viewing option.
The easiest way I have found is to change the overall layout from 480 to 320, then going in and tweaking some individual apps.
Overall most of the apps will function as normal, however some system apps will not look right, especially the Dialer and Camera/Gallery views.
Note 2:
Factory DPI: 320
Preferred DPI: 240
Note 3
Factory DPI: 480
Preferred DPI: 320
To change all apps and programs to be viewed in 320 mode is to modify the build.prop settings.
There are multiple ways to do this, but the easiest I have found is to download Rom Toolbox. The Lite version will allow you to easily edit the app. Support your devs, buy pro or donate and give credit to these app & rom creators.
Rom Toolbox Lite Rom Toolbox Pro
Step 1: Changing phone pixel density from 480 to 320
Open Rom Toolbox
Go to the Performance Tab
Select the build.prop Editor
Click the Magnifying Glass to search
Type in "Density"
Click on the ro.sf.lcd_density
Change the Property Value from 480 to 320
Click YES on reboot prompt
Step 2: Download and Install Xposed Framework and App Settings Module
Without rewriting guides that are already available, you can read the general guides here on how to install Xposed Framework.
Guide by Max from High on Android
Download Xposed Framework by Xda Developer rovo89
Download Xposed App Settings Module by rovo89 & Tunstwenty
You will need to install Xposed Framework, and the Xposed App Settings Module by clicking on the above threads. The threads are maintained and updated regularly. Xposed has the ability to update itself, and also provides updates to the modules, which is a great feature.
Once these are installed you can then begin to change apps back to 480 DPI if they don't look right.
Step 3:Recommended Apps to Revert to Stock Density
You can change any app you wish, but the ones that I recommend to keep at stock DPI mainly due to cropping issues are the dialer, contacts, camera, and gallery.
I am currently running Jellybombed Rom, so you may see some extra apps in screenshots, as well as blue text.
I also ran this on the stock rooted Samsung Rom, and the Rooted Deodexed rom before going to Jellybomb.
These are my personal preferences, and im sure I have more than I need selected, but I wanted to make sure all elements worked.
Camera for example has many sub apps such as editing and trimming.
Contacts has 4 tabs for Phone, Groups, Favorites, Contacts
Phone has 4 tabs for Keypad, Logs, Favorites, Contacts.
Bolded are the most essential, the non bolded are personal preference. Feel free to add your own.

This is so necessary for the note 3. Thanks for the post!!
Awesome job.
Any clue what app the pen input app is? The one you activate by clicking the pen square over inputs?
It looks like it follows the app's dpi, but wondering if that can be pegged at 480 for every app?
320 feels a tinge too small. Any idea what other settings could be used easily that aren't so small?
I just went in and changed a bunch to make it better. Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know which is the lockscreen?

It's not a particular program, from what I've read you would have to leave the system at 480 and individually change apps to 320 to keep the S View Window working properly :\

Im going back to stock deodexed this weekend to test out some things.
I had some issues with editing pictures ( mainly getting the redeye tool to work with pinch to zoom) so Im going to go back to "as close to stock" as possible to rule out any theme/app settings from Jellybombed.
Ill try to play with the factory apps a bit to get a better list.
Im one of those .. "as soon as i get a phone I root, change dpi, then freeze or remove every system app with "samsung" or "sprint" on it.. and this time around its knox to add to the list.
Then again thats what I done with hundreds of computers for the last 15 or so years, so the habit kind of carries on =)
Not a fan of bloatware =)

I would love to see more screenshots. I had rooted and went to 240dpi on my original note, and love the way that looks. Still on the fence with rooting my note 3. Haven't read enough about knox, even though I know there are ways to root without tripping knox now. But I m itching to change my dpi
Thanks for the guide. I put mine at 370 dpi, which looks good for me, without being too tiny

anyone tried changing DPI to "Android System" and "System UI"? I had this changed on my Note 2 (to 240) so that the settings and overall UI was smaller. I tried changing it on the Note 3 to different DPI to test out but it seem sto leave a small border right under the status bar. I tried 320, 350, 370, 400 .. I'm using Nova Launcher btw. (JellyBombed ROM)

Try checking all 3 of these settings to 480
com.android.providers.telephony
com.sec.phone
com.android.phone
You can set them manually to 480 (stock)
If you set your overall DPI to something like 370 you need to make those apps bigger individually to 480

I use a scaleable launcher ( ADW EX) for that reason.
In the past when I tried to modify the stock launcher or system UI, it would cause all kinds of force closes..
The primary reasons i believe is due to how Touchwiz integrates its widgets- like clock for example
Changing just systemUI or Launcher but not changing all the other components manually that are linked to it can trigger "Unfortunately System UI Has stopped Working" errors.
The keyboard is another one thats tied in, as well as the lockscreen.
I haven't gotten around to trying to do all of that, or learning how to yet.. which is why i made the guide with the already available apps.
By changing the overall system UI and using a different launcher, you can have the smaller slim status bar, without having everything else break, since all of the DPIs match. Then finding different processes to tweak with "App Settings" allows you to experiment safely without risking breaking everything.
One super annoying issue i had back when I did DPI tweaking on my Note 2 was if you didnt flash a replacement keyboard in recovery, you would have to setup android by continously tapping the error message all the way through phone setup until you could get to the settings screen to change the samsung keyboard to a different one. Samsung's keyboard dosen't like dpi changes on the note 2. But so far no issues personally with the note 3.

LG G2 is More Awesome with ̶3̶2̶0̶d̶p̶i̶ 380dpi
I came from galaxy note 2 before had G2
On that forum, people love 240dpi
Because the original 320dpi is too big and bulky
Not as crisp as 240dpi
After I got my G2
I realize, the current dpi is too big
And I edit build.prop and change to 320dpi
And modified home to works with 320dpi
You got to try it
It's really awesome G2 with 320dpi/380dpi/400dpi
I wish some skillfull dev will port original apps from 480 to 380dpi
In the mean time.... i just had to learn trial and error changing dimens
To make it looks good on 380
===========380dpi===========
@sosimple point me, he use 380 dpi, after I tried it, It's my favorite DPI now..

1. You must be rooted (need root explorer/build.prop editor) + Xposed Module (App Settings)
2. search ro.sf.lcd_density=480
3. change it into ro.sf.lcd_density=380
4. reboot

of course, many apps on playstore can change density

1. For LG Camera App and LG Message App

Install Xposed Frameworks - Open the apps - go to download menu

2. Install All apps in Play Store (for Playstore Fix)
3. reboot
4. open App Settings, Search Camera - click - On - DPI = 480
5. open All Apps in Play Store Module - change fake dpi to 480
I use between 390-400 I also use tiny text in the display settings so everything fits much nicer. I haven't tried 320 but I imagine that would be a bit too small for me.
320 r u serious? im using 400 and already feel thats little bit too small
Im using my tablet port for G2 and it hurts my hand using it. Woudnt advise to use at 300 or lower
480
Build prop set to 480, xposed app settings changes everything else that's compatible to 320.

Unless you're running a ASOP ROM, stock LG apps dont scale right under a different density. It sucks. I agree though everything looks better at 320.

It's not too small and still crisp great looking now..

Yup 320 DPI looks just like my note was on 240 DPI :laugh:
How come this all seems backwards to me...comparing to a PC LCD monitor? I thought that more dot per inch was better...made things smaller...and yet I keep reading that fewer DPI's are the way to go?? What am I missing here?

Any intention to support multi DPI?
Alot of Custom ROMS allow easy changing of the DPI, Seems your limiting your potential market.
I Love Themer, I just cannot use it, as Landscape and Multi DPI do not work properly.

In the future we might look at multi DPI support, however at this moment the task is a lot harder than it sounds. Sorry about that.

I completely understand the complexity of the multi DPI.
But has anyone considered some pre defined DPI's
So at least the user can get a Near Enough DPI, and then tweaking the theme to fit perfectly is only minimal changes.
Again just a theory, I have never really worked on DPI.

There's a strange relationship with a device's DPI and resolution, which is why many device aren't supported (such as the G3). We've tried what you've suggested, however "near-enough" isn't what the average user wants

Hi, unfortunately the Mega isn't supported just yet due to its resolution. Hopefully it will be soon though!
I have a rooted Nexus 5 with SlimKat ROM running. SlimKat changes the DPI by default, but using BuildProp Editor I changed it to the stock 445 DPI. However, Themer says my resolution is wrong. If I set Themer as my default launcher, I can press the home button and see the default Themer appearance, I just can't download anything from the app. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I was running trents rom on the GN2 at 270 and it looked ok. I have gotten away from this application recently though.

Hi, try changing it to the default DPI settings (480), as this should help Themer recognize the themes.
Good luck!
220
I also use 220

the samsungs note 3 and above has that,

Try Niwatory for exposed framework.
I managed to set it up with GravityBox on Menu soft key doubletap.

I've just cranked the DPI up to 400, and I'm able to use it one-handed. I also have about 2 years of one-handed "training" with the ZU - and fairly big hands, so I guess it's not a solution for most people

Install Xposed framework zip with your recovery. Search for that zip on forum. Then install Xposed Installer apk. Then search for Niwatory with Xposed Installer modules list

I did it manually through the build.prop in /system, but you can use an app to change it too. The default DPI is 320, so things are fairly small on screen, but I use my ZU mainly as a phone and not a small tablet, so a higher DPI will make everything bigger, including the fonts. 320 DPI and 480 DPI (and some lower ones) are officially supported by Android, and running any other DPI can break some things (mostly UI glitches), like the Sony Launcher. It won't break it to the point where it doesn't work, but it's not made for other DPIs than the official ones, so it won't look right. So if you're using the Sony Launcher, then 480 DPI would be the recommended DPI above 320. 480 DPI will however make everything very big, and it'll behave like a smaller Z series device like the Z5 (DPI wise), which will make it funny on the Z Ultra since it has a much bigger screen than anything else, so it'll look somewhat comical the first day. I use 400 DPI, and haven't experienced any issues (using Nova Launcher), and everything is scaled properly.
You need root though, and if you do have root, I recommend you to just try out some different DPIs before settling. I personally like 400 and 420 DPI.
It'll be much easier to use the ZU one-handed with a higher DPI (since everything on screen will be bigger and easier to hit), it'll also boil down to your hand size. Cranking the DPI up won't do you any good if you have hands the size of a small goat, so just keep that in mind too

Hmm, probably some libs and stuff that got messed up, and it's probably only compatible with TouchWiz devices (framework dependencies or something). Now we know, though.
