Does anybody else have an issue when they change there dpi where whatsapp wallpaper changes to a standard white background?

Any way around it?

its annoying and i have been researching for days and cant seem to find anything to fix it.
I fixed it. I set the system dpi to 320 and all is good.

Even with text size set to large from within WhatsApp?

I have mine set to small at 320 dpi.
I don't use whatsapp, I even set it to 370 with extra large font in the system settings and fixed the dialer but everything is too small for me. I'm using stock 480dpi with extra small fonts in system settings now.

would love a fix for action memo. if you initiate an action memo it works PERFECTLY but the moment you attempt to manipulate the "size" of the action memo window it snaps to half both height and width and there does not seem to be a way to get it back except to close and reopen.

we need to get bala in here :)

I have changed the LCD DPI to 380 and will try the step 3 since the stock gallery brings up a layout issue that doesn't fit to the screen.

Guys I changed my two phone listing in appsettings to "420". I like the size however it definitely messes up the layout. Anything I can do to correct this? Same happens with the camera. Or is this just how it's going to be? And if yes then can I have the dialer page stock but the logs and contacts on the 420 setting (currently look fine)

Thanks

If you're not using the stock DPI, the dialer is going to do that and there's no way to fix it. The only thing you can do is use App Settings to set it to 480. The dialer and logs share the same app but Contacts is separate so you can have it set to a non-standard DPI without any issues as far as I can remember.

direct pen input (com.samsungandroid.writingbuddyservice) set this to default 480.

If you don't know what this is. its the little bit on the textfields when you can type to input. if you look at this on 320dpi it is very small can barely fit 1 word on it.

Does anyone know what that s-pen wheel thing is called. its rather small on the 320 settings. also that little icon that you use to open the direct pen input. thats a really small icon.

Hey. i am having trouble reverting the phone and dialer to original DPI. i am changing com.sec.phone and com.android.phone to 480. is this correct? It just isnt working. Or does this not change the dialpad?

EDIT:
Figured it out. Must change Contacts as well.

Can the homescreen be extended to house additional apps

Hi, still a noob at all this but trying to learn so I apologize if my terminology is off.

I was able to change the DPI using ROM Toolbox lite; however, the home screen(UI?) while smaller will still only allow me to have 4.x 4 tiles. Is there a way to extend that?

Thanks for any help you could provide.
