[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
Hey everyone

This is my first guide so please be polite :)

In this guide I will show you how to setup 240dpi or possibly an dpi on your rom.

Links to all the requisites will be given below.

But what is dpi ?

It is the value that manages most ui of the system. a lower dpi means everything would be smaller hence more things could be fitted in the giant screen we have. a higher means everything would be larger hence less could be fitted into the screen

Before We Begin I Want To Clarify The Following-

1)First and foremost I am not responsible for any damage you cause.

2)I assume you have already rooted your phone and have some experience with rooting.

3)You have made backup to be sure that in case you mess up you you can return to what it was like before.

4)Read the whole post before actually starting.

5)Please Hit Thanks Button If I Helped You :)

So let's Begin-

1)Download and setup xposed framework (Very good instructions on how to do it in the thread) (You need to reboot).

2)Download these modules - xposed app settings , gappscrashfix , all apps in play store.

3)Enable all the 3 modules (You need to Reboot).

4)Now open xposed app settings and set open each app listed below and in dpi enter 320 but don't change anything else.

-calculator

-camera

-clock

-contacts

-dialer storage

-fm radio

-messaging

-task manager

-touchwiz home

-weather widget main

Now some of these could be skipped or some could be added(can be tested but imao that will make the ui ugly but still it's completely your choice).

Also modded versions of some of these apps has been provided by bala_gamer.

5)Before we begin copy the modded samsung keyboard from the link given or setup some other keyboard and make it default.

6)Now open /system/build.prop or use a build.prop editor if you are very conscious and change the following line "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"

7)Now before we reboot we need to include apply one fix , so instead of rebooting , power off your phone

8)Then go into recovery and flash the modded samsung keyboard.

9)Reboot and enjoy 240dpi.

Note -

1)The stock keyboard will constantly force close on 240 dpi (if you use xposed settings to set it to 320dpi, you will be practically unable to use it), so bala_gamer(thank him) has customized it to work properly on 240 dpi.

2)Recovery must be custom (ofcourse :p).

3)Be sure to flash the correct version of modded apps (i.e. 4.1.1 if you have it or 4.1.2 if you have that)

4)I don't know if gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore are actually required but nothing bad in using it.

5)I know the explanation of dpi is incorrect but that's all you need to know.

6)Installing xposed framework doesn't affect simplistic framework at all.

7)The gappscrashfix and allappsinplaystore you download would be in .zip format. Just rename them to .apk and you can install it then.

8)Many apps especially the system ones or samsung ones aren't ment to scale well. They are just meant to look good at 320dpi so they will look way ugly at 240dpi. To fix this xposed settings is used. You need to set it for each app that you think is ugly.

9)You can use mobile odin to flash the zip. Just use ota tab.
