Never tried 240. Maybe it's the specific multi DPI dialer file you have? But by all means you're free to try 270. Every single thing works perfect, just the dialer is a bit to the left. It's like the sweet spot the Note 2 should've came with, you just gotta give it some time. :) But yeah sorry I don't have an actual answer to your question. :(

Mind sharing which line you change? I see the same line twice - once within system.prop for smdk4x12 and within ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES - do you change both?

Both are set to 240 I was u using romtoolbox to change the build prop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dvdmkr:
Will give a try. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cab121:
Handy footnote.

At a certain Dpi any app with tablet compatibility will chance to its tablet mode. In many cases this works great on the note II. I use 240dpi for ui and any tablet apps. No issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eun-Hjzjined:
Yep. 240 and exposd framework.

Exposd works on all things root from ICS to 4.2.2, don't know why very single root user doesn't know about it yet.

Advice: go get exposd and start tweaking those app DPI on the fly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Ok well I just reflashed the rom and everything works but how do u get the keyboard to fit the screen cuz I tried 270 and it didn't fit the screen it looked like it was like one hand operation mode but it wasn't do I change anything more than the dpi in build prop besides from changing the dpi from 320 to 270??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawheat:
So being a noob here - it was confusing for me to figure this out, so posting this to help out the other noobs.

1. I changed DPI to 270 in build.prop and rebooted

2. For apps that don't scale correctly (phone, calendar, clock), you can do the following:

a. Install Xposed framework: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and reboot

b. Install the App settings at here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/app-settings.5486/

- then go into the Xposed framework app, go into the Modules tab, and 'enable' the App Settings module

c. Go into the App settings app, find the programs you want to change the DPI, and enter a value of 320 into the DPI field

- for ClearnROM, I changed Camera, Contacts (for the dialer), S-planner (for the calendar I use), and Clock

d. I use swiftkey and to make it look right, I had to go into SwiftKey preferences (within Settings > Language and Input), go to Advanced, and set Portrait key height to Large
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I run my Note 2 at 240 DPI at all times and have System UI (com.android.systemui) and Settings (com.android.settings) running at 200 DPI. I don't use the original dialer, so I don't change it. The Samsung camera runs at 320 DPI. These settings vary between roms. I did this on JediXP13 and it looks great to me. On CM 10.1, for example, running everything at 240 DPI looks fine since the status bar is already small. When my rom doesn't have per-app- DPI support, I use Xposed Framework as well. About SwiftKey, I have SwiftKey Tablet. It's much better and looks perfect no matter what DPI I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] walie:
How do you account for the market incompatibility when you change the dpi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TOA Duck:

I didn't know that. I'm looking for that right now.

My Galaxy S2 came at 240 DPI, so that's the first thing I tried on the Note 2 and never had any problems with apps not showing on the Play Store.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawheat:
Same - I switched to Normal and had Swiftkey set to large spacing (or something like that). I also have Nova Prime set icons to 110% size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d0cx:
270 dpi. Definitely makes the difference.

Thanks.. DL'd.. however.. i installed and enabled it in xposed and i still ahve compatability issues.. i went in and cleared data and cache.. and for example.. just did a search on swiftkey keyboard and comes up as not compatable with my device...

did you use the above module.. or a totally new replacement for the play store? mind linking it not to hard? might check out if i cant get the module working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
I just installed this Play Store and it seems to be working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zugshad:
did you do anything other than enable in xposed? i have it checked..i cleared cache and data,.. rebooted.. all that.. and i still have apps not showing up.. apps that i have installed dont come up and when i do find them, still says not compatible. so not sure what else to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] webbles17:
I just set my dpi to 270 and it made swiftkey smaller. Doesn't work on all keyboard's though and the xposed app settings module didn't seem to work right on any keyboard. Just stretched them out or shrunk them weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
I actually ran into problems my first go with this trying to install a multi-dpi Play store AFTER toying with the DPI. This time around I wiped and reinstalled my ROM, kernel and Play Store. Created a nandroid and then tweaked the DPI and verified the apps showed in the Play Store. Then I proceeded to install the Xposed framework. I ended up going back to default DPI because there were a few things that bothered me that I couldn't figure out and didn't want to spend too much effort playing around with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ad44891:
240dpi is also great playas... Try it and see for yourselfs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Xelstyle:
Not sure what to make of it. I've been running at 260 for the longest time as 240 was just a bit too small for my taste.

I just might be because I enjoy the little bit extra on the screen.

I was wondering what is the best DPI for my Galaxy Note 2, I tried other people's suggestions but it didn't work for me so I was wondering how Google decided on their DPI. Considering they're in charge of Android they must know the optimal level so I used the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 as reference:

View attachment 1899145

So if Google designed a 5.5 inch screen device with 720x1280 resolution, it would most likely be at 270 DPI

I know this won't help a lot of you how it helped me but just thought I'd share it just on the hunch that it might at least help the 1% :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
My personal favorite is 240 which is 25% less than the standard 320. It is best if you could use the dpi per app mod if you are running a touch wiz based rom. I am personally on the aosp vallina rom and loving the customization. Some apps work better with a higher dpi like the one you use to scan for example a starbucks card and other like email work better at a lower dpi. With android you can customized your dpi per application.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I use 220 system wide, and make exceptions as needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mayhemonmyandroid:
I use 240 system wide only changes I needed to make were to contacts, camera, and calculator apps. Also the samsung keyboard didnt like the 240 dpi but there is a mod for that. I like the look at 240. Couldnt imagine going any lower.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ideas4ya:
I am using Liquid Smooth, Android 4.2.2, Matrix kernel overclocked to 2.0GHZ, at 182 dpi. I love it!! Its like having a tablet as a phone. Google Play shows completely different, gmail is in dual view mode, and everything just shows up so much clearer and fresher. I wouldn't go to 160 dpi as things are too small for me to tap on while I drive. 182 dpi is by far the best resolution to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pransh:
Nice one!

I loved your idea but I would like to point out that you have disregarded the proportions by taking the average of the two devices. Mathematically speaking, If the display was ((4.7+7)/2) = 5.85 inches your calculation would be sound. But if you consider the proportions we get,

213+[(7-5.5)/(7-4.7)]*(320-213) --> Using the interpolation method (Never thought I would apply my statistics knowledge like this) :laugh:

= 282.78 dpi

Though personal preferences may differ. :D

It works a lot better than the HTC EVO 4G LTE, had both side by side in the same area. Doesn't take long to switch to 4G, the LTEvo however wouldn't connect without toggling airplane mode.

Much improved over the lte.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
It hands off fine in really good signal areas,much better than the Evo LTE..But my Galaxy Note II picks up 4G almost any where there's 4G. Where as the One does not..

But from what i've noticed this may actually be better because in a lot of these areas with my Note II it would say 4G but when running a benchmark it would be just as bad as 3G and sometimes not transmit data at all even with the 4G icon..

But all day yesterday anytime my One said 4G i had actual 4G(>6MB/down).

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I know, some have tried the other roms for the other variants. but only wound up messing up their own tab. And the restore tab is for AT&T international version and even though it does work, it isn't all in English. The closest one is for Tmobile, but TMO doesn't have LTE, so you could kiss it goodbye. Probably why not many have tried it. It's a shame that the Dev's don't want to own one, I have dumped my rom also did a CWM backup of my tab. But since there is no one to work on getting us a JB rom, we have to wait for the update from AT&T, if they ever do it.

I've been playing with it for the last day & a half. The theme engine itself seems to work fine. The 'sample' theme that only changes the battery icon works, but the other ported themes I've tried only change text colors and some application backgrounds. I'm pretty sure that's due to the way they were ported though, rather than an issue with the engine and our phones. Sometime in the next few days I'm gonna try porting over some themes myself and see if I can get things working a little more completely.

I'm still playing around with it. The Xposed framework is pretty dope. The for XTheme engine work, but some icons aren't themed and the battery icon is out of place. You can do a battery icon mod aside from Xtheme as well. Check the screenshot out. I'm runnin Vectus V2. Also while on Vectus or stock roms, you can find the Icon Themer for Xposed as well. You can use any of the Nova/Apex icons on the stock launcher.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rohail6:
I keep my phone a variable amount of inches from my eyes usually, but usually close to 11 inches, it gives the display a pseudo retina effect. You see the Note 2's actual physical PPI is 267.02, which means for it to be " retina " you'd have to hold it 13 inches away or farther to be unable to distinguish between pixels. At 220, 13 inches away from my eyes, in the gmail app, I squint :P

If you haven't already you just need to install ezunlock to unlock your bootloader, you won't necessarily brick your phone but will put it in a warning state and have to Odin back and start over.
