Just got my Edge 7 for VZW and I'm loving it! :good:

One thing which bothered the hell out of me is the Font size. This phone looked like it was designed for blind people. Even after setting the smallest font, everything is setup so big. Everything appears huge. Did some googling, and came across this tip to change the DPI settings..now the phone looks much more appealing. VZW edition doesn't have root yet, so this is a great workaround to change the DPI.

The link isn't loading for me for whatever reason, but if this is the method that requires adding an action to Nova Launcher, this works wonderful. And for those of you like me that are thinking "but I don't like Nova Launcher", once it is changed you can uninstall Nova and your DPI settings will stay even after reboots. It stays until you change it back or do a factory reset.
