I found a way through nova launcher to get the content on your screen to be even smaller than the default options in the display menu.
1. Create a widget nova activity.
2. Go to the settings subsection and select screen.
3. Then you will have a shortcut to the screen below and you can select small, medium, or large.
I thought you guys who love changing the DPI would like the small option as it is smaller than the default options in the display menu.

This is the same as changing the system font to "tiny" in the settings. You can change dpi by selecting "display scaling activity" instead of "screen". Just change it to "condensed". Good looking on the nova activity though. Thanks
This is how I do it on my non rooted S7.. could be different on the note however

That what I thought too but I think it changed a little bit more than just the font.
content scaling is already available on settings

No it isn't... it's exactly the same outcome as using the built in display scaling option in settings. I know this because I checked myself just now

I tried both, already had display scaling in settings set to small and when I went to the nova activities trick you posted it was already set to the small setting.

I myself find low scale dpi a really nice look.
I haven't tried 175 yet but I'll make sure to take a look at it.
Guess I should get a tablet to suit my needs lol.

I just like the look of high-res myself. If I could find a phone with a 4" 1080p screen I'd be all over it. LOL
That looks like ICS; does your phone app work at that DPI? I always had issues with that when I increased the DPI.
Yep. Its CM9 RC0 and phone app works fine.
Nice, thanks, I guess I'll have to give it a go again.
175 works great..I went into launcher setting and changed homescreen to 5x5 instead of the default 4x4. Makes the screen seem much bigger then it is.
I had to change it back to 200 cuz incoming calls crash my phone app although I was able to dial outgoing calls just fine.
That's odd, because when I set it to 175, I couldn't even dial. I've never been able to pull off that kind of setting on anything other than ParanoidAndroid and not have phone app FCs.
Go 160. 175 isn't an officially supported DPI for android
how do you change the dpi?

By build prop or LCD density app.

I tried 160 a bit earlier today and had the exact same issue with the phone app. I would be inclined to believe that it may be a matter of the phone app in our ROMs not supporting anything other than stock DPI without modification to the app itself.
I'm comfortable with 200. Everything works so far.....also I change mine using ROM Tools. Its a slider. But you can use Root Explorer to change the build.prop file as well. Either way works.
I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.
try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.
Dear all,
My phone rooted using method root de la vega, stock room BMJ1 firmware.
i hate the notification font is too large, and i tried to search around there are no way to set it smaller like really small, and when i have lots of notifications coming in, i need to scroll all the way down, can i cant preview the most of the notification text (too large).
Is there any apps or setting in the phone can change the size of the fonts or the drawer size to smaller ?

You can change the dpi for system.ui using xposed framework with the app settings module. You could also change the dpi globally in the build prop.

I realise how late this reply is, but I was having the same issue and I figured it out
I found that changing the DPI to 420 shrinks it down just right but you can play with the number to get the size you want, a bigger number means that the elements are bigger.

Have the same issue - notification too big. Want to shrink it down.
When I change the DPI, can you limit this to just the notification? If so, which setting applies to this?
Any chance you can upload a sample? Be good to see it Thanks!

I think he just changed it globally. But if you use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377
you can change the dp for systemui.apk only.

Sorry, my bad, I misread your post...
With the stock launcher as far as I know you can't avoid this gap if you reduced the navigation bar size. Use the stock size (but I think it's not what you want) or use a darker wallpaper (but I think it's not what you want also :laugh... But with Nova launcher no issue.
I flashed a nav bar mod for medium size and it didn't do this with stock.
LG Home stock launcher is cool but I eventually went back to Nova with Xposed Transparencies because of the options and better themes.

You can get it to look like that with Nova Launcher Beta. They have the setting to look like Pixel.

I have Nova Launcher Beta. The Pixel setting is for the Google bar I believe. I want my dock like the pic above (with the clock). Can I do that with NL?

Is that just a clock widget you put on the dock?
Yes, I'm using Nice Simple Clock. Any clock widget should work there, I just that one, since it allows me to resize it in there settings to match my theme.
