You can use Xposed + App Settings module to control that.

Yea I tried that but then the launcher doesn't. Fit the screen.

Ah, it's already thrown off because of the 360 DPI probably. Might have to set the system to it's normal 480 and use App Settings to do individual apps.

I used app settings to change the blinkfeed app to 480 and it fits the screen but I was wondering is anyone here can change the grid on the launcher to 6x6

Much like my Thunderbolt the UI is way too big for my taste, I have a massive screen and so I want to see more.
Has anyone adjusted the DPI on their Note 2 and if so did it break anything or does anything display odd?
Also if you did and there was no issues, what DPI did you go with?
One more...does adjusting the DPI still make apps become "not compatible" ?
Thanks guys!
Yes and yes. There are small fixable minor issues. The only thing that really breaks is alarm clock. The dialer, calculator, and camera are just a little misaligned. You can search for the mod and find opinions on it... I use 240 in my build.prop then use Xposed framework to change dpi on any app the way I want.

Got all the stuff on my phone, however the xposed app settings mod is currently broken so I can't play with it yet.

You have to have Xposed Installer as well. Xposed App Settings is just a module, which is why it doesn't work by itself.

Hey guys, so I have Viper Rom and I used the LCD Density settings to change to 320 DPI. I like how it looks a lot better, except for a few things. The lock screen is off centered. This is tolerable, but if it can be fixed I'd like to fix it. Also, I was able to resize all my icons except for the dock icons, that look cropped by default, the cropped version just gets bigger. I would like it to look like the original icons. Of course a fix would be to go back to 480 DPI, but I like how it looks and would like to keep it if I can fix these minor problems. Thanks guys!

Nova launcher lets you change dock icon size.
Also 320 is A bit too much imho. Try using 400 and flash multi dpi play store

Apex allows you to resize too, just the icons look zoomed in. And I'll try lowering it. Anything about the lockscreen too? That is the only other problem I have with it. Thanks

yes you need to install the xposed installer app and appropiate module. there is a thread on it. or flash jellybeans rom by beans and its included. the other option is to modify the framework res for each app. I have a thread in the theme section "240dpi apps" that has some listed already modified for 240dpi. not sure if the work on 4.1.2, but they did on 4.1.1.

The touchwiz launcher doesn't have customizable icon rows/columns. You'll have to download a different launcher. Like Nova.

It worked!
I set the nova launcher to 240 dpi 800x1200dp and in the settings it gave me a tablet style menu. (nice)
now I have many, many little icons & folders.
Thanks again,
Rick

Ok so I changed the dpi of my phone to compensate for the difference of the Nexus 5, but does anyone know if there are any mods such as xposed or something that can modify the app drawer to hide apps or make tabs, etc...?

I was looking for safer way to change the screen DPI to 240, but was a bit worried about installing any mods. Instead of installing apps, I thought of modding them using Xposed App Settings. For now, I have just changed the UI to 240 DPI and am looking at doing the same for other apps.
For those who are interested, below are the tweaks that I did (will continue to add them as and when I get them correctly on my phone).
I am using [N7100 MK4][23Nov]Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V5 Deodexed|Prerooted|Note3 Fs, but this should also work with other ROMs too.
Note: I am just sharing what I have learnt and tried. But am not responsible for any kind of issues that you may face.
Install Xposed Installer and App Settings module (check out the respective threads for instructions). Once its ready you are all set to go.
Change the System UI
In the app, search for: System UI.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 240
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for
Contacts
Chrome
Hangouts
Music Hub - Change the DPI for both Music and Music Hub
ES File Explorer
S Note
Email
Change TouchWiz home
In the app, search for: TouchWiz Home.
Activate it and make the following changes:
- DPI: 320
- Screen: default
And then click Save
Repeat the same steps for Camera,
Check back later for updated list.

Yes, even I have used it, but I did not find options to revert back if required. Its better with Xposed, only change those that you like :laugh:

Reflash the rom you are using WITHOUT data wipe,everything will revert back to 320dpi.

Agree, and in no way I am saying your mod is not good. I used them for quite sometime.
Took this approach to avoid reflashing, when you can disable it without reflashing.
Changes to 'Android System'
DPI to 240, and the Screen (dp) to 800x1280 also made magical changes on 412...havent tried on 4.3 yet- if i remeber correctly it made the windows float too and be resizable.
TW launcher looks good even at 295 better than 320 !!

The best is UI SWITCHER, you can change/switch whatever dpi you want. I'm using it flawlessly in my DN3V3. Just had to change the contact dpi to 320 with screen dp 800*1280, and using lg keyboard which is the best of the universe or you guys can use vinney's 240 dpi modded keyboard if you need to use direct input. That's all and BOOM!
