Changing screen dpi? - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I was looking to change the dpi of my hdx 7 but found that there was no setting in the build.prop file. Is dpi completely locked down on fire os or is the setting located elsewhere?

Try Xposed module "app settings". Used this to successfully tweak dpi settings on a 1st Gen HD; suspect it would also work on a HDX. Wild card is FireOS. The HD referenced above was running cm11.

Have you tried adding it in manually?

Nah, I was afraid I might screw something up and cause a boot loop.

As I recall it didn't work well on the settings panel but did have some effect with other system apps. Don't know about system UI in general, that might cause a problem.

Alright, thanks. I've decided to make a restore file and play with things a bit. I'll report back what happens.

Are you rooted? I am not sure if you have to be rooted for it to work. I wouldn't assume you have to be rooted though.
You went into the settings after installing them and selected which one you want through the sounds and display/fonts menu?

If you have OCLF installed then you need to use its Install Fonts feature to install fonts - otherwise nothing will change in the system.
I had exactly the same issue and figure it out literally few hours ago

Try Xposed framework, search it around XDA
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Unless its contacts / phone. Not even Xposed works with that well.
i read on xda some guide,these saying to add some strings in build.prop..i tried but nothing..
with framework like jkay and xposed i can lock app in memory,my aim is to find a way for locking app with the original framework. Is it possible guys ? thanks
I'm curious: why?
in this way i can put sms app in whitelist, so android memory killer never kills sms app=no lags because it remains in memory

Hi,
Please make sure that your DPI/resolution/display settings have been set to default. It might be caused if you rooted your device and some display settings changed.

No I haven't changed anything about display DPI or resolution and I'm on stock but still it is happening. Although I'm root. Any clue?

If you're rooted, then something must be running that is altering your display settings. Even something small like changing the height of your notification or navigation bar will change the widgets configuration.

[Q] tablet UI for mega 6.3 i527 at&t or softkeys such as lg g2

I am not unfamiliar with the xda and searching for answers but I have yet to find anything on what I would like to do. I have tried an array of apps and tweaks from "softkey enabler" to "wanam settings". where as I have had success in customizing a great deal of this awesome Mega. yet everytime I enable the soft keys or set to a different UI I get the "unfortanately systemui has stopped working. I understand the not being able to have a custom rom or recovery at this time. all I am asking if any one has a clue to what can be done or attempted just so I can enable softkeys or get the tablet UI working. thanks
All I know is, DON'T use the Phab7 Module......though I never would get out of f/c.....?

True DAT!!! I knew there was a way through Xposed and some system settings download. I remember there were 3 items to change the settings on that had to do with changing dpi to 220, but I am smart not too much sometimes and cant remember. Sorry, but maybe if you could come up with certain phrasing and run a search. There was a how to in the Note forums.

I actually did use "phab7" but all I had to do was during the force closing navigate back through and disable. i have done that plenty of times with other attempts. but yet to no avail.

I have reworded as much as I can (or as far as my intelligence will allow me) and have yet to uncover which settings need to be configured. I do understand that it maybe as simple as a quick tweak but I am a bit discouraged when venturing to deep. I am in no way a dev and would like to consider myself very slightly above a noob. I will continue my search. thanks for the replies and if i do stumble upon my answer. could I post my success here or just post where I found it.
As far as soft key go, why just not use PIE?

I have used "pie" before on my original note. and although i did like the concept "swiping" to bring it out is not particularly what I want on this Mega. I had used a custom rom that allowed me to switch my note from phone /tablet /phablet. and truely enjoyed the look of the "tablet" UI. so what i am looking for is to make my Mega look like my Note 10.1 as far as the softkeys and navigation bar are concerned. but until some brilliant dev figures out the work around for this "i527" and can allow us to flash such a rom. I must continue my search for what ever comes close.

[Q] Any way to hide the headphone icon?

I finally got my Pressy Button in today. Seems to work ok so far. No real issues except that it makes the headphone icon always visible. Which isn't a problem, just an annoyance.
Is there any way to disable that icon? I have xposed framework installed and tried notifyclean module, but that doesn't seem to be able to do it. Unless I'm not looking in the right place.

Can't / Won't run on HTC Sense. Fails when I try to activate it. And when I read the post, it says only for aosp type roms. No Sense or Touchwiz roms.
Thanks for the help though.

Gravity Box does run on sense, I'm using it as we speak. Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.defim.apk.notifyclean&hl=en
All I get is this when I try to access gravitybox

are you successfully running any other xposed modules? if not, have you correctly installed the xposed framework?

I am currently running HeadsUp Notifications and XPrivacy modules. Everything on those 2 modules appears to be working properly. So, I would assume the xposed framework is installed correctly.

Post your question and screenshot in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed I'm out of ideas.
I did. They pretty much said that because Sense isn't supported that I shouldn't try to make it work.

That's weird, I've been running gravity box for months on a sense based rom.
Try the Sense 6 toolbox under status bar tweaks. Looks like it allows you to disable headphones
