You should report to google developers

xposed framework
app settings add on
you could change the dpi/font, etc for that specific app which is the only solution i can think of for now

Mine looks completely normal.

I second this. Tablet mode for the new gmail app is awesome.

Yup, same here, but we're running at 400 DPI, while OP is running at 320. Still weird that the text is so small compared to 400 DPI, though.
OP, what's your system font size set to?

Ohh! My Font settings was "smallest" and one option on the gmail setting was somthink like "adjust mail to fit screen" (translated from my phone language) was checked. Changing the system font size make it readable again. Thanks to all, Cheers!!!

I installed exposed module but can not convert app to tablet mode. Is it about the ROM ? mine is rooted stock (4.4.4) with exposed FW installed

what DPI settings have you used?

After upgrading gmail on my phone, I also noticed straightaway how small the font was; hardly usable. On my tablet, it is fine. I went into accessibility settings, changed it to large; this fixed it, but across the whole system, large fonts are not great.

I had the same setting: "Auto-Fit messages". Now I have turned it off, and it is much better. However, the previous version worked fine with the same setting.
There is still the issue of too much wasted space on the new version. Maybe it is my normal initial reaction to such a big change, but so far, I find it a step backward on phones (tablets are ok).

Set the DPI to 320 and DP to 800x1280.

[Q] Filling out fields blocks my whole screen.

Question, this is how my screen looks while filling out fields in apps, the input takes the whole screen. It's pretty annoying when you press next which moves to the next field you can't see what the field is. Is this the norm, or is it the ROM I'm using that's doing this? I'm on Hybrid.

When I was using h0tw1r3's CM9 @ 240 dpi, I didn't have any issues. Now that I'm using a modified stock by Flapjaxx @ 320 dpi, the input takes up the whole screen.
But I think it's more of a dpi issue, not the rom.
Hold it in portrait instead of landscape.
I don't know about the swype or stock keyboard, but can you change the key height? I use swiftkey 3 and that is an option.

You're right that portrait doesn't behave the same. It must be a dpi issue. I've had the rotation locked to landscape for awhile now, didn't think to test portrait.
Do you think it would be the keyboard's dpi I would have to change?
Thanks guys.
I'm pretty sure it does that on all dpis in landscape mode.. i remember my captivate doing the same thing
I just push the back button, the keyboard goes away and I select the next field.

I end up doing that too. It's pretty annoying. Oh well, thanks everyone.
Just an update; i flashed CM10 and it doesn't do this. It's so much better to use in landscape now.
ParnoidAndroid based off of CM10 does tho. Must be the multi DPI causing it.
I figured it out. It's the keyboards dpi. On CM10HYBRID-PARANOIDANDROID in Settings > Paranoid Settings > Apps > Android keyboard - I set Per App Layout to Tablet UI. It no longer fills the screen.
I'm using "smart keyboard pro "
And have for about 2 years . The settings allow you to set the field height of the virtual board.
Very helpful when using it on different devices and resolutions.
You could give the free version a go from the play store , but it has a nag screen. However , it retains full settings adjustment.
Hope this helps you ....g

Changing Per App DPI

I wanted to make sure LG G2 users know that installing Xposed Framework and using the App Setting module allows per app DPI adjustments on stock LG ROMS. I put together a guide if anyone wants to give it a try and threw in some screen shots so you get an idea why you'd want to change your DPI.
LG G2 Xposed framework guide.

Here is Yahoo mail app at 300 dpi, compare how many emails you can preview at 480 default dpi.

Tested on my rooted Verizon LG G2 (with 1st OTA).
Below 300 dpi testing
If anyone is interested in testing how the LG G2 looks below 300 dpi or any other device. I found that LCDDensity works best. It doesn't retain the settings so you'll return to default value on reboot. Until I got my G2 and started using Xposed Framework with the App Setting module it was my density changer of choice.
Hi, do you know how to correct the empty border problem with the stock camera app when using dpi lower than 480? I tried xposed app settings just for that app, and it doesn't fix the problem.
Edit: NVM. I didn't have the modules enabled. Thanks.
I installed Xposed Framework some weeks ago only for DPI settings.
Works pretty well and I love it.
Only stuff that doesn't work for me is the rotation settings. But that's not a problem. I'm using tasker for this.
I just used the App Settings 1.5 in Xposed. I just wanted to lower the dpi on the messaging app (the bubbles are freaking huge and annoying), and went down to 320.
But the wallpaper behind the bubbles is all screwed up; it shifted to the left. I raised the dpi to 335, but no change.
Any work around?
I flashed the rom spidero with 380dpi, with this xposed how reset dpi for nova launcher?

use a non stock wallpaper' appy wallpaper from gallery

Nice idea, but...

If you run non-stock DPI, it will take a LOT of work to get widgets to display correctly.
I am running SlimKat 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note 2 with global DPI 245, and had offset widgets from the start, which wasn't surprising. So I installed Xposed & App Settings module, set Themer to 320 DPI, rebooted to recovery, wiped cache & dalvik, launched Themer again, and still had graphical glitches:

I tinkered with individual widget settings and discovered the widgets are positioned in absolute pixels from margins. It would be awesome if users had the option to set graphical elements in relative terms, ie, a percentage of the distance from margins/center.

Nice idea, using relative positioning and size (HTML like?) would make themes more usable on different screen resolutions. However, this would not play well with themes that have the objects designed directly into the wallpaper
I don't understand what are you trying to say. Can you clear it for me?

Grame, do you have any experience with HTML and CSS?
If you do styling of text in them you have a possibility to chose precise or relative size of text by using tags saying something like:
font-size: 16px - this is absolute size of text
but you can also say :
font-size: 2em - this is relative size saying that the text should be double the standard size for what ever the default text size is on the device
Same is possible for size and position where you can define them in pixels or percents
As I understand what OP said, Themer now uses positioning in pixels (absolute) like setting the battery status 10 pixels from right border and 10 from top. If theme instead allowed for percentage (as well as pixels) it would help with scalability of themes for different sizes and resolutions. As I said the only issue to solve would be graphics that are built into the wallpaper.
I am also having a lot of trouble with widgets on themer

Mine is the same way- weird. It changed because it was normal. Changing the font size does nothing. Anybody?

fix
Go to app manager and go to all aps. From there, go to contacts and clear cache and data, do the same for phone (there might be more than 1 phone icon, do for all), then go to contacts and doable it, and re able it back. Close all out and go to contacts, then it should all be fixed!

Question Weird colors on Google search widget.

For some reason my colors changed on my Google search widget and I have no idea why or how to get it back to normal.
I have tried to reset it in the settings. I have changed it to different colors etc but nothing works. Not even deleting it and putting it back works.
The even stranger thing is that when I change the text from a "G" to "Google" that part shows the correct colors.
Anyone have similar problem and know how to fix it?

Could it be that setting that changes system colors to match your wallpaper? If you check your settings, wallpaper I think.. Maybe when there's just a G it gets applied the system coloring?

What you mean? You mean One UI 5.1 ?
If you do not know what it means, and you set the device up, then it is stock. Try removing the widget, clearing googles cache, and re-adding.
Additionally, try turning on material you, saving, and then turning off.
Neither worked.
The funny thing is when i restart the phone it shows the correct colors but only for a second then it goes back to the "wrong" colors.
It's definitely something that happens with Googles latest update.
I reverted the google app back to it's standard version and it works without problem. As soon as i update the app to it's latest version the problem arrives.
Im not sure thou how to get rid of the problem with the latest version.
It's like the phone applies another color scheme for the widget (and only the widget) even thou i don't have anything set to do so.

Do you want it to be just black or white? You can go into the Google app and under settings there is a sub menu for the Google widget settings.

Wrong
Correct
I've got the same issue. All Google widgets shifted from "Classic Dark theme" to some red-ish Dark... Did you find a solution ?
