http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/root-how-to-change-resolution-dpi-t3125722

So i have find this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=fr_FR

I have test with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=fr_FR

It as working but the Multi-DPI Patch is not compatible with Cloudy ROM so stock apps not working..

I want to reduce my screen resolution to 430 DPI, anyone have a solution ?

Thanks :)

You can:
1) Reduce dpi to 530. This is still in xxxhdpi range, and it looks better than 640.
2) Switch to AOSP-based rom.

And, finally, the hardest one:
3) Copy all stock apk's resources from xxxhdpi to xxhdpi. Find apps, in which layout is irreparably broken in xxdpi, decompile and mod their layout with apktool (or Virtuous Ten Studio, as it's a complete IDE for decompiling and modding apk's).

Ok, thank you very much :good:

So i think that i will test AOSP based ROM and i will tell you if it as working :)

Edit:
@ YaDr
Can you tell me what AOSP based ROM is not based on CM dev ?

Finally, after my tests:

For now, its not possible to change propeply and permanently the DPI resolution on stock based ROM like Cloudy ROM or Lion ROM.

Its work on customs ROM like CM & AOKP & others like Paranandroid, Omni, Vanilla, SlimBeam, MIUI.........(if you don't see an option after install the ROM or on the main thread of it).

For exemple, on Euphoria ROM, there is an option to change DPI display :)
