Usually for DPI change root is required. Unless FlipFont is supported, even font download is limited.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply
Yes i have tried that, its ok but you cannot increase the size of the font.
You can only change the style of the font.
Would you like to make everything on ur phone larger? If so as you've got root edit /system/build.prop
Change ro.sf.lcd_density=240 to
ro.sf.lcd_density=300
It may cause some graphical glighes in badly programmed apps that expect the same screen size including some of the android pop up boxes and some stock SE apps. For example gaps may appear or not all the screen is used but most apps work fine I've only tried making things smaller thou (mine is set to 200). If 300 is too big/small try a different value. Restart to apply changes. Think there is a density changer app on market for temp changes to test.
Use root tool.
I know you Will say I want to incense the size
Yes there are some fonts which t very big so you can apply.

320 Dpi stock app ?

hi, i hate my screen at 480 and i'm looking for stock app with touch wiz, like camera, phone, calc, gallerie and the launcher itself. can anybody help me Thanks
You can use this Xposed mod to change DPI on a per-app basis.
It requires a rooted phone.

Or if you like AOSP then there are options there also.

The app is used to change DPI of individual apps. Not the entire phone.
My dial pad looks fine? I have not used the app to change the dial pad though. I only used it to change one app on my phone.

or u can edit ur build.prop to 320 dpi, make sure u do a nandbackup 1st.
or
on Per App DPi change the Android System to 320 but 320 is pretty small on the S4, i'd go with 380
What's the dire urgency to have 320dpi?

Resize navbar

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.

[Q] Camera/Dialer/LockScreen DPI Fix

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!

Multi DPi

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?
