Lcd density

[hendav]

What lines do we edit in build.prop to change the lcd density? Also, does anyone recommend a particular density that works well?

270 DPI is excellent. See mine below. PLENTY of real estate on that screen now! Oh yeah. And still got room for more.
I personally use jrummy app called "ROM toolbox Pro" however only for changing the DPI.
Here's the link:

Doesn't this affect the size of the on screen keyboard? Stock the size of landscape keyboard is good but reducing the density value seemed to reduce my keyboard size and shifted the keys to the left leaving a gray margin on the right side.

Yep, sorry I forgot to mention that! I did have to make some corrections to the software on my own to fix that. My keyboard is full size after the modification. I've been using the keyboard at full size for so long that I forgot that small detail. if you're not good at programming you can always download "Xposed installer" and the module labeled "App Settings." This would allow you to manually change the DPI settings on individual components like the keyboard, programs, notify actions etc. If you need help I'll be glad to help out if I can.

Thanks man, what did you do in the app settings for the keyboard, just change the DPI from 0 to 320?

Yup, I think that will work.

I went ahead and tested that out to be absolutely sure it would work, and it does. Just be sure when you go to "Samsung Keyboard" in the list and change it to 320 DPI, that you click on permissions and turn it on. (There's a slide on - off switch)

This is one of the first things I'm doing when I root it! Why Samsung didn't do this from the factory beats me!

I made the adjustment and it worked great for the full layout keyboard but when I go to floating or the split it cuts out part of the keyboard. Let me know if that happens to you too. Thanks for your help.

No problem at all. ? I think there's another place where we need to change the DPI to 320. ?Let me do some testing to figure it out and as soon as I do I'll post it right here for you. Thanks!

Any update on this? I generally use the floating keyboard as I have found it swiping with one hand works great on this tablet but I would really like a normal looking standard keyboard. If you fixed the issue via code could you share the code/process?

 

[muzzy996]

There's more than one way to skin a cat; what I've done instead is install xposed framework and use the App Settings module to control dpi for apps individually while leaving build prop at default. For me not all applications need higher dpi and some like Next Issue fail to render images properly when the density is changed in build prop.

Still looking into this. You can use the Xposed app module to change certain apps or system apps however I've not been able to find the floating and split keyboard resolution yet. For the full screen keyboard changing the DPI back to 320 works fine, however we are still looking into a fix for the other.

I was able to change the system DPI by using app settings and changing DPI for System and System UI. But I am running into the same problem with the keyboard. Even when it is set to 320, the floating keyboard and any pop up windows from the regular keyboard are fubar. I don't want to use the floating keyboard, but I can't find a way to disable it and it seems to come back periodically. Either need to fix the resolution issue or figure out how to disable some of the keyboard modes.

Has anyone found a fix for the other graphical elements of the stock keyboard after a system wide lcd density change?

Not that I am aware of, I think our best bet is just changing the individual apps via app settings on xposed.
