Before I lable this solved I'm going to show you how to use all the wallpapers (except) the default natively
First instal launcher pro *make it default*
Use a wallpaper other than the default one(not the bridge, or the dome)
Using root explore go to system/default.prop
Change dpi to 240
Reboot
You will notice the phone density is now hdpi instead of mdpi and the wallpaper is now perfectly shown on either landscape or potrait ( I actully like this dpi but the notification bar isn't compatable with it)
Go back to root explore
System/default.prop
Change back to 160
Reboot
U will now have native wallpapers compatable with launcher pro
rebooting launcher pro doesnt effect the wallpaper, now almost all wallpapers in the market are compatable with our streak,
Let me know how it works for you, those wallpapers are for 480x800 and thats the same res our streak has ,so thats why there compatable with our phone
Are you sure of 240 dpi? When I set it up at 240 (following your instructions) I still don't get the chosen wallpaper to show fullscreen after the reboot.
I have a live wallpaper app that lets you set 800x480 wallpaper to fill the screen in landscape, and set a different image for each of 5 home screens. It's in the forums at StreakSmart. I tried posting a link but xda doesn't like me enough, apparently. The thread is about multi-screen wallpaper.
Is there a way I can change font size only in Settings?

Hello everyone. I encounter some weird stuffs, which is the dpi. I'm now using exodus ROM on my Oneplus X. I changed the dpi setting from 480 to 400 through exodus setting itself. My screen turned small, app drawer shows 5 columns but not on my homescreen. So I searched through website, and I found out that, I need to change the dpi by editing build.prop. So I did. After I reboot, my homescreen can fit in 5 icons (5 columns, usually only 4, because of 480 dpi). However, my app drawer changed back to 4 columns instead of 5! Anyone know how can I solve this?
As shown in screenshot, I've changed my DPI/smallest width in Developer options from 360 (default) to 400 (recommended by DPI calculator)
Everything is scaled down nicely including text, icons, and pretty much everything in the UI itself.
But what's bothering me is that the Google Now Launcher's grid won't change for some reason. It still has 4 columns and the spaces between them are so big. Shouldn't it change according to the DPI?
The Pixel Launcher I've downloaded also has the same problem. The dock adjusted fine, which is what I want because now I can put more apps within it. Now I want the same thing for the apps that are not on the dock. Why aren't they changing?
Notes:
Changing the DPI to a far larger number didn't work.
Restarting phone didn't do anything either.
Force stopping launcher didn't work too.

Hi guys,
How can I definitely change the DPI of my device?
The Mi A3 native DPI it's 260 or 360 I guess, but it makes the UI elements so big, and I hate it! So, I came to developer options and changed the DPI to 510 which looks so much better, with small letters, icons, status bar and nav bar. But everytime I reboot our just lock and unlock my phone the icons and all others UI elements return to their normal size, so I need to go again to the developer options and change it again.. Is there a way to fix it? Can I do something using ADB commands? Thx in advance!
Facing same issue....also looking for any adb command or something which do not require root
You can change the display size , and the font. Otherwise you can install nova launcher or lawnchairlauncher V2 where you can make many changes to the size. ( lawnchair launcher v2 is very close to stock launcher with many more customizations )

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They're talking about the android 10 bug in which certain elements (power menu, lock screen, notification shade) will revert to their original dpi even after changing the screen size.
Update: I just found the problem, it's in the fingerprint unlock. I just changed the fingerprint lock for a pin and now I can reboot my phone and the DPI doesn't get changed anymore. Now I'm searching for a way to fix it, cause the screen fingerprint it was one of the reasons who make me buy that phone.
Same for me
I also facing the same issue.. for me i used to toggle between dark and white modes then everything will fine..
for rooted device, "wm density" command should work.
