I have SM-P600 2014 edition. Looking for any recommendation to increase DPI. Default is 320 I am thinking of 250. Couldnt do it using BuildProp Editor. I am rooted with stock recovery.

Any suggestions ?

Worst thing that can happen is that you have to flash a firmware via odin :p
If I remem er correctly there is an app called "pimp my rom" which has tons of options. There you were able to change the dpi. I would perform a backup first and then try :)

Thanks for the response. How do I backup ? I have not installed custom recovery yet. is there a way to backup through stock recovery ?

Btw I tried changing with BuildProp Editor (always worked on HTC) but for whatever reason after reboot dpi is resetting back to 320.

Best off using Xposed and installing App Settings so you can change individual apps DPI and leave the system ui alone !

Yeah you will have to flash TWRP to back up your current rom completly. :p

DPI

Xposed and App settings - set system and android to 240 dpi.

Keeps the notification bar narrow. Alternatively, use Fullscreen.

Launcher icon size will needs tweaking up and a few other quirks like keyboard. Stock Google keyboard adjusts automatically but others may need tweaking down to around 160 dpi.

Adjust other apps to your personal taste.
