What's the easiest way to change ones DPI? I came from the sg3 and never had to mess with the DPI on a device but comparing the sg3s screen to the nexus 5 is kind of wonky considering the bigger icons

I'm running omnirom if that makes any difference...

Get build prop editor free from play store and just press menu, build.prop tweaks, change to your desired value and reboot.

I use an app from the Play Store called Texdroider DPI, with root it makes it incredibly easy to change it. not that it wasn't easy to edit the build.prop file. its just what i've gotten used to

i drop mine to 370, that's the DPI slimrom uses and really enjoy that on Paranoid Android

Use Root Browser to edit build.prop.
My DPI of choice is 400. Makes things far smaller, but not too small.

Why do people want to drop it? Higher the better, IMO
