I'm running MoKee44.2 ROM, the first thing I noticed is that the launcher has a small grid size. I can only fit 4 rows of icons on the home screen. Is there a way to increase the number of rows? I tried Xposed GEL Settings but it didn't help out :/
Try Xposed App Settings and set the launcher DPI to 210 for example (that's what I use) and Restart the phone.
BTW Wrong forum, should be in "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"

I changed the DPI from 320 to 240 and nothing changed, i'll try 210 if it works.

Thanks for the heads-up this is my first post
I just realized that my DPI is not saving. I'm using rom toolbix to change the dpi, after rebooting it gets back to 320DPI

you shouldnt even have to use an xposed module for that.
if i recall correctly you should be able to change icon size from nova app settings.

Only up to 130% at the moment, and that may be a Prime feature. I'll have to check out app settings after I update to new version of StockPlus.

I wonder if there is a way to resize the navbar. I am not talking about hiding it, only resize the original one. I already tried auto hide soft keys app and couple of others but the problem is they designed to be hidden since they overlap the page content.

That exactly what i am looking for thank you.
Only problem with resizing the navbar is,that you will need to do that every time a new rom is available.The navbars are only working with the given rom they are supposed to launch.I have found that a nice way to resize it without doing anything is to change the DPI with a program.Its will make the navbar small and you can make the icons bigger to have a similar outcome as before.
and...
...it does not work with our international version either.

The bigger icons you can make from the phone itself from what i remember,the DPI program is texDroider,only problem i saw its that the camera doesnt adjust on the new DPI while everything else i tried so far is normal.But it can be solved too with xposed framework and a mod (app settings 1.5) that can put the camera or everything else you choose in 480 DPI mode.
please some one know the way , please make it work with D802 model

I cant provide any photo,cause that was what i did before,now im with another setup.I didnt change the DPI of the navbar,(i dont know where/what to look for to do so,might be possible tho if someone knows what to look for..) i changed the DPI of the whole phone,so the navbar became small.And the icons became bigger from the Ui itself,it does have an option to do so.

I dont think that you can just change the DPI of the frameworkres.apk,from the program,and it will work just like that..I saw they got it modded in order for it to work.Not sure tho since im not familiar with these things.
OK. So, I know I've done this before but can't remember how. I changed my system wide dpi but my dialer is awfully small. What app(s) do I need to change back with Wanam to fix it? I thought it was contacts but that's not doing the job...
Thnx!

It should be SecPhone or just Phone.
I just figured out that my App Settings will not enable under module settings. It says, in red text, "This module requires a newer XposedBridge (52) and thus cannot be activated."
I tried to update my xposed installer framework to no avail. Perhaps it's not out yet?
Long time lurker here, love XDA and just actually got up and running with my new Note 4. The same thought went through my head with the stock Note 3... "Why the hell do they make a phone so large and just blow the icons up, it does me no good, I'm not a blind man..." So, naturally, one of my first steps after getting root was changing the DPI.
Like with the Note 3, I quickly realized that the Samsung Applications don't play nice with the custom DPI.
I realize this may be a completely stupid question, but my Google-fu has failed me so far. I've tried using Xposed to change the DPI (just on the Camera so far) back to defaults, but nothing seems to change the camera. Is there an alternate method to tell these applications to use the default DPI, are there modded version of these apps released yet, or is there a guide I could use to assist with modding these apps to make them friendly to DPI changes?
did you enable (tick) the (app settings) at module page of xposed? I am using note 4 too, and set default dpi = 480, and notice camera app is not support custom dpi, so i use app setting to assign it back, wish this can help.
Oh samsung, you still haven't made the camera app multi dpi, that's poor

Works, thanks
Hey thanks for this info, but I don't seem to be able to change dpi of dialer/phone with app settings (camera and lockscreen worked). Am I changing the wrong app? (changed com.sec.phone and com.android.phone back to default 640)
Anyone know how to change recent apps dpi back to normal?

Nevermind, I forgot it was to change contacts apk. Also, with the new DPI, minimizing apps by drawing in from the corner no longer works. It will show as if it is shrinking the app to pop-up window then it will vanish. However, the window is still active as I tried multiple apps and then it prevented me because it said there is already 5 popups active (which is the maximum). Thanks for any help in advance!

I am not a developer, but I like all the work developers done for Android phones. I also had the same problem. Camera problem has been solved using "App Setting" application thru Xposed framework. However, Dialer and Keyboard didn't work.
Then I finally download Google Keyboard , which is the best one to use instead of Samsung Stock Keyboard. So, I am looking for another alternative for Dialer. lets see, I will post here if find anything. Thanks!
Hi, could someone to do Multi DPi ROM? Alternatively, only applications? Something like MultiX would tkari for Note 3? I don't like huge icons and font. and sorry for my english.
You can use xposed app settings apk to alter dpi on a per app basis. You can also edit your build prop to alter your dpi but make sure you have another launcher installed just in case as some app's are hard coded

Xposed is not a solution for Samsung Apps who are not built to display well at lower dpi. Because Samsung can't be bothered to use Google guidelines in their apps.
What the OP asked is what I kinda wish we had, an X-Note ROM or something equivalent, in which the Samsung apps are modified to run and display properly at lower dpi.

I set the build.prop DPI to 480 and then use xposed and app settings to set the Samsung apps back to 640. For now it's the only way.

Does that work better than it had previously with some apps on the Note 3, such as the Email app having huge text?

Which apps did you set back to 640? I use 480 aswell, but only my carrier text on lock screen and key field for entereing key pass looks awful. I did not change anything back to 640 and everything seems to be ok with samsung apps. Until now I tested Galaxy Apps, S Health (with wanam fix), S Voice and E-Mail. No Problems.
@zerojay:
I have no big characters when I write or answer mail.
So default dpi is 640 and not 650?
