I went down to 240 dpi and got the split quick settings and notifications, though the notifications only give me a dim screen. But now my launcher is weird. Any ideas how to make it use full width and height?

Have you tried using xposed and installing "app settings" through it? It lets you change individual app dpi's, you could try changing the dpi launcher to the normal dpi which is i believe 320.

Hi,
Im trying to make my status bar at 240 DPI but when I do that there is this small gap between my window and the bar. Anyone knows how can I go about doing it?
Used: Xposed framework and per-app settings
No one knows?

Regarding?
Don't tell me using the search function because I searched before asking.
Tried all settings but I couldn't get away the gap between my main window and the statusbar.
One of the solution was:
Settings
Storage settings
System UI
Android system
All changed to 240 DPI but there is still a gap
no, not about the search. read the rules. all of them

Same question too. Used xposed app settings as well, since the notifications were too big in height for my liking ( i have a few persistent notifications)
I also have this issue...
If I change android system then I can't get the keyboard to display correctly (tried different keyboards and doing settings) and if I change system ui, then there's the gap
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.

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

I rooted my G2 and did resize the nav bar. Is there no size I can make it to that's smaller than stock in order to use Themer?

Unfortunately only stock settings will work in Themer.
If you use a lower DPI like me (I use 320) on the 5.0 lollipop port by scrubber you've probably noticed the navigation bar buttons are too separated.
Flash the attached zip in recovery to fix this.
Only portrait for now. When I got some spare time I'll fix the landscape layout.
Status: Beta 1
Date: 2014-12-05
If you prefer to swap the recents and back button check out my other mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/themes-apps/mod-swap-recents-navbar-buttons-t2964524
Edit 2014-12-08: Added a revert zip. Flash in recovery if you want to restore the original SystemUI.
Edit 2015-02-14: Uploaded Beta 2. Fixed the IME switcher and menu button location. Also fixed layout in landscape mode.
This is great, thanks.
swap back and recent apps.
Good work OP. One question though, is it possible to swap the back and recent apps buttons? On 4.4.4 i just used xposed with gravity box but as far as i know xposed doesn't work on lollipop.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
It works perfectly, Thanks:laugh:

And some rather large icons I'd like to decrease in size. Also, how can I add an extra row on the screen to have an extra icon or app? Thanks.
Oh, both of those are dependent on the launcher you're using.
Try this one where you can tweak most of the things: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Or this one which is the Google Now Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
^ Thanks pemell, would you recommend Google Now Launcher/Nova launcher over the stock Sony launcher?
I know it's a little off topic, but I figured you might be able to give me some advice. I flashed this mod, and decided to restore a CWM nandroid back up. I've been stuck on the bootanimation for quite some time now. Is this to be expected? Again, sorry for the off topic post, and keep up the good work!

For me only the VERY first time takes a while to boot, 4-5 minutes at the most.
Any more then there's a problem!

Why did you want to restore a nandroid backup? Because of this mod? If so, I'll make a flashable revert zip available.
Regarding you being stuck on the bootanimation I got no idea, except that it's definitely not because of this mod.

Is it possible to tweak the dpi of Nova Launcher? The icons are too small when I'm on 320 dpi on Nova, but they okay when used in 400 dpi. On the contrary they are pretty decently sized when I'm using Google Search 4.0 + Google Launcher 1.11. I actually started using Google's alternative because of this and also due to the fact that the app drawer employs a white background which increases visibility even when the brightness is very low. I haven't seen this option in Nova yet. I know we can change icon sizes and scale them in Nova settings, but still the sizes and fonts are not proportional to what I would like it to be. Changing grid sizes helps a bit but it doesn't change the icon and font scaling problem.
I did try editing the shared_prefs.xml file from data/data and changed the dpi from 320 to 400 but it seems to reset it everytime the launcher is opened even if I've set the file to read only in properties.
Edit:
I also have another request for you. Can you change the navbar dp to 42 instead of 48 in portrait & landscape? 48 seems bigger than what it should be.
You don't need to tweak the dpi as you can change icon size in Nova
Or maybe that's only for payed users? Check in look & feel and see if you can change icon size

Yes, I used the option to manually resize the icons, but they're still way smaller than what 400dpi looks like.
Even after resizing, the icons are much smaller than what Google now launcher for Lolipop looks like at 320dpi. Only at 400dpi do they look okay.
Also what about the Navbar height? Is there anything we can do about that?
Is this "way smaller"?
Yeah I could make a mod changing the navbar height.
any one try to change the dpi through developer options?

tamerh said:

Yes and its actually crucial that its there, since default Text Size and View Mode settings no matter how you combine them wont give ideal looking combo - either too large or too small + notification area only reacts to Text Size changes and view mode mode has zero effect on this area, so although view mode @SmaLL/font @normal makes everything look good, notification area + notifications look way too big,but when you make font @SmaLL everything gets way too small.
With dpi in play I have reached my current favorite combo -> Text size/view type at Small and dpi @392. Not too big, not too small.
Is the dpi settings kept after reboot the phone?

Also not in my Mate 10 which is absolutely disastrous in my case which I want to use all apps to be compatible with split screen but I can’t as the option inside developer settings, “force all apps to resizable” needs resart to be activated but if I restart the phone , the developer options are not saved. Go figure
This also annoys me. Coming from iPhone 7+ which is only 1080p, the Mate 10 looks low res.
We might need some app to make the dpi change persistent on reboot.
Hmm. Smallest width in developer options only changes the width dp of the phone. Anyone tried using adb to change DPI settings? Will try it in a while. Im using KangVIP rom which had the option to change DPI and sure enough, it scaled the contents of the notification bar. Will try it on stock to see if magic happens. Wish me luck!
The setting stick with a reboot on my phone, you need to leave developer mode switch on otherwise it won't stick, I know you can change the smallest width without them turned on but it doesn't stick.
Still doesn't change the notification drop down still huge any fix this wasn't the case on the mate 9 the system ui tuner changed all aspects so annoying
