You can change your DPI without root, using ADB. I have mine set to 600 as we speak, but of course there's no per app DPI settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] A_N_D_R_E:
600!? That's huge! I always go down, was running 380 on my 6p before I returned it.

I have found that Samsung phones in particular need per-app DPI control, at least in KitKat. It seems like their apps don't scale well; on my S3 and S5 the gallery/camera/dialer....needed to be reset to stock DPI via App Settings for them to be usable.

If Marshmallow + TouchWiz are more scalable I may not have have to bother with Xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] entropism:
Standard is 640 DPI. I tried 560 and things were WAY too tiny. I could barely see the status bar at that size. Everything works fine at 560/600, with the slightest issue of a small black bar on the side of the camera app. Everything WORKS though, which is important.

This is what I'm working with right now:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] A_N_D_R_E:
Ah, that makes sense. I hadn't considered that you were starting up at 640.

Looks great! Is that on an S7E? How do the Gallery / Dialer / Contacts look at 600?

If they scale properly you may have just made my week.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] entropism:
Everything looks the same, just more compact. Like I said, the only thing that looks out of place is that half inch black bar on the side of the camera, near the shutter button. Everything else is perfect. Now, if I was to root (And I think this is the one phone I WON'T... I'd absolutely put Xposed onthere and control DPI per app. Keep system at 640, make everything else 560-600, depending.

And yes, this is on the Edge.

I will be rooting as soon as possible. I'm one of the unlucky ones suffering from the issue described here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/help/battery-life-issues-t3326793. It seems to be an issue with the Snapdragon variant, but that remains to be confirmed. I've disabled several apps with Package Disabler Pro, changed app permissions, and cleared the cache partition all to no avail. Once root and Xposed are available, I'll be using BBS and Amplify to find and pin down the cause of the high Android System battery drain.

You can adb the dpi without root easily. Takes 30 seconds once adn installed. My S7 Edge is at 520 just where I like it. Simple. YouTube search "custom Android no root" like the 3rd one down and literally 20-30 second, reboot..done

It's being claimed here that 6.0.1 can be rooted on the S6 without tripping Knox using Chainfire's systemless root. If that's true (and I doubt it), then the S7 may be rootable the same way.

Could you post a screenshot of your camera @ 520?

What launcher is that? Love the icons at the bottom.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

I remember my note5 was similar until I did a factory reset. I just got mine S7 Edge today so I have to get a baseline before I try that to see if I'm having the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] entropism:
Rewording this for clarity:

I Found the one major issue with DPI changes (Through ADB, not rooted): You can't initially set up Samsung Pay. When you get to the screen where it lets you choose to enter a PIN or use your fingerprint, the PIN choice is a dead link (nothing happens) and the fingerprint option returns a "Unknown Error By ErrorCallBack" message and doesn't let you continue. Resetting my DPI back to 640 let me get past this option, and into the full app, where it allowed me the option of adding a new card. After I got to this point, I changed my DPI back (this time to 560) and I was able to enter the app just fine.

It APPEARS to just be a setup issue, but I've never used it before, so I'll experiment with it over the next few days. I'm waiting for a better promo before I actually add a card, so I dont know if you can USE it. If someone wants to experiment in the meantime, report back. If not, I'll mess around with it probably after launch, when they up their promo game.

Fireguy, it's Nova with Glyphsy by Tokems for the bottom icons. You can get the apk for the icons somewhere on XDA. Google will show you the way. :)

No root for S7_yetbso know one knows yet. Too new....soon I'm sure.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Exactly

Posted this a few.days ago. it works but you lose Pay services unless you do it again using stock root for your device and your dialer and camera buttons are off a bit too. The way I get around the came issue is use the voice option to just say cheese, take picture etc or say record video, stop recording on camera or.video camera but the dialer is a bit.more. have to kinda find the sweet spots or justbset the contact up in contacts or a speed dial so you don't use kep pad as much but no workaround with zpay (either of them,) unless you reverse the adb and out it back.

I will in am. I needed oay so it's back at 640 and PC shutdown but I love 510-520. So much more screen real estate but have to have better eyes because things are smaller indeed.

At 520 there is...that's my favorite

Edit: phone is fine at 520 but a black bar eating up some space at bottom in camera and loxkscreen but not bad.

One thing I noticed that came over when I used the S7 micro USB tool and smart switch is that is brought app settings over to s7 and while it doesn't work to do anything because it's a root aoo the minute I deleted it and rebooted I get Android Paybworking with the adb dpi without root trick still set to 520. Before if I changed the dpi Android Pay wouldn't work unless I switched it back to 640 dpi but now I'm thinking it was app settings conflicting because it's a root app and if course my S7 Edge isn't and won't be, rooted sobrather than the adb trick breaking the Pay stuff I think it was app settings because it's the only thing I changed and notmw Oaybworks perfect at 520 dpi where before it would fail like it used to whencit detected a kbix trip. Weird but stoked...just an FYI. still tinkering, could be because the card was already added too.I'll try using it tomorrow..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mark ran:
No one's mentioned rooting to activate a wifi hotspot without paying Verizon an extra arm for the privilege. Maybe there's a non-root solution now?

I also really like making essential tweaks to the phone including getting rid of the bloat. Some of the stupid nags (like "audio level may be too loud") drive me crazy. I just view this as the most personal thing I have since I use it all day. I want it to fit my preferences and needs exactly. I just wish Samsung would sell an unlocked version. I would pay the unsubsidized price.

Last, I really hope someday I'll be able to have a device that I can both modify to fit my tastes and use to buy stuff with Google Pay (never, ever going to use Samsung Pay). Basically they need to make the payment security area and code under a separate lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] entropism:
So I just switched to 520, and my camera has no black bar, and everything functions perfectly. Samsung Pay setup (not sure about use) is completely ****ed at 560 DPI, works fine at 520. This is odd. I'm seeing on reddit that some people are having app issues at certain DPIs that others aren't, and it's happening randomly. Just like you seeing the camera bar at 520 and me only seeing it at 560.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Taskman:
Can you post a pic of the camera in that DPI?

If the camera scales it will be a bit black due to 4:3. I just hope it scales so it doesn't get a lot smaller and looks like 5" when viewing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbotelho:
Hello, how's it going everybody? Long time reader here, first time poster. After doing countless hours of research that which didn't turn up any conclusive results, I'm turning to the Android Gods.

Here's the situation:

1) I'm on the starving student budget and attempting to create a network as efficiently as possible.

2) I have 4 rooted Android devices: Sony Xperia E3, Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530W, Galaxy S4 I337M (i9505 CM13 ROM flashed), Galaxy Tab 3 (CM13 ROM flashed).

3) I have a Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT flashed.

4) I have a desktop PC (Ubuntu), a laptop (Ubuntu), and a soft-modded PS2.

The goal is as stated in the subject title of the thread. Currently, with USB tethering on either of the Samsung devices, I am able to tether a Wifi connection to my desktop PC. My desktop PC doesn't have a wireless adapter to connect to the wireless network, and I was able to determine that Android can tether a Wifi connection over USB.

What I am hoping to do is use USB tethering in order to tether this existing Wifi network from the Android device to the WRT54G router and create another network. A piggyback if you will. From what I've researched, I know the following options exist:

1) Buy a router with an existing USB port

2) Bridge the connection from the PC to the router (huge electricity costs)

3) Buy a Raspberry Pi and bridge as above (less of a power drain)

4) Solder USB ports into the router (will only handle USB 1.1)

5) Put the router in Repeater/Repeater Bridge Mode (cuts speeds in half) Client/Client Bridge Mode (only provides LAN connections - no Wifi)

What I am trying to determine, and have been unsuccessful in doing so, is whether a simple MicroUsb to RJ45 adapter leading into the router's WAN port while USB tethering will simply do the job. The question has been asked a few times (going by Google searches here), but no one has provided a definite answer as to whether this works, USB-OTG or not.

I'm unsure as to whether the router will require a specific kernel or driver, (I've only been able to find information on USB tethering to a DD-WRT router that has native USB ports) or whether it'll work right out of the box. If it were to light up stating that it has a network connection, that would be fantastic, but I'm not quite an expert on the topic and don't have the resources to spend on a failed experiment.

If anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know. Again, I'm trying to do this as cost efficient as possible, starving student here. If there's another possible solution that I haven't pointed out or considered, please go ahead and specify it. It'll be much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbotelho:
Can anyone shed any light on whether this is possible? Perhaps I should rephrase the question to, "Can someone with a Micro-usb to Ethernet adapter try this out and let me know if it works?"

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neisor:
Hello from the other side!

I have recently reflashed the Nexus 6P stock image via fastboot. I have unlocked bootloader. As of now I do not have any custom kernel or anything else flashed/modified (SuperSU included). As I have everything stock-like, only the bootloader is unlocked, the Nexus 6P gives me the Red Warning - Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted or work properly.

Why is it so? Before it gave me only the Orange Warning even when I had a custom ROM and kernel flashed on top. But as of now it is a Red one...

Any ideas?

P.S.: I know it should be okay, but I am just interested in why is it Red now, and before it was the Orange one...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Currently on KK 4.4.2 (WorshipROM 8.2+) with "dpi" (or lcd density more accurately but will call it dpi as that's the term most people here use) of 360. Anything bigger and it's just looks like a kid's toy to me (i.e. an iPhone).

Anyway, I have tried a few LP ROMs and also MM ROMs but the problem I have is that unlike the KK ROM I use now, most of the LP and MM ROMs require loads of apps to be set to 480 in xposed / app settings which kind of defeats the purpose. (Also, some FC even when using app settings.) I could carry on trying a few more, but I was wondering if anyone has come across any LP (not MM - I don't like CM because it has poor battery for me) ROMs that particularly work well with such low dpis without using App Settings for loads of them.
