When you think about the quality of your device’s display, you should be thinking about screen density, not resolution. Screen density is a ratio of resolution and screen size, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the dpi, the smaller each individual pixel, which means greater clarity and a more detailed display.
Improve your device’s screen density, or shrink your UI to squeeze more content on screen...
The Textdroider app lets you improve your device’s display by increasing dpi. You can also create a zoomed-out effect by lowering your display’s dpi, which allows you to fit more content on screen and can be used to bring a tablet feel to Android smartphones.
Although Textdroider is straightforward to use, it can cause your device to go into a bootloop or encounter other errors. For this reason it’s essential you create a full backup so you’ll have something to restore if your device goes haywire.
Steps:-
1. Download Textdroider
Textdroider can cause your device to go
into a bootloop, so do a full backup before you start. Once you’re fully backed up, download Textdroider DPI from the Google Play Store. Launch the app. Read the on-screen warning, and then tap ‘I get it’ to proceed.
2. Change your dpi
The main Textdroider DPI screen displays your current dpi; in the screenshot above, this is 480 dpi. To change your dpi settings, tap the New DPI field and enter a new value. Tap the Apply button. Confirm that you want to change your device’s DPI by tapping Yes.
3. Reboot Your Device
Grant Textdroider superuser permissions when prompted. After a few moments, ‘DPI after reboot’ will be updated to the new value. The new setting will only be applied upon reboot, so tap Textdroider’s Reboot button, and confirm by tapping Yes.
4. View Your New Screen
Once your device reboots, the new dpi
setting should be in effect. However, there’s a chance your device will show an error message and refuse to boot properly. If this happens, you can fix it by booting into your device’s custom recovery and restoring your last backup.
5. Stuck in a bootloop?
6. Push And Pull
Attach your device to your computer and use adb commands to adb pull /data/data/
com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi/files/backup/build.prop from your device and onto your PC. Then, adb push this file onto your device so that it overrides the /system/build.prop file.
