Hey,
most of you probably know that in CM9/CM10 you can limit the number of background processes in the 'Developer Settings' section of Settings. Does anyone know what it actually technically does ? Does it set a special property or write a value to /proc/... ? If so, which value is wriitten to where ?
Thankx , lagloose
No one has an idea ?

It doesn't count Navigation/Status bars into the screen size. You probably changed your density value, so the bars have a modified height, therefore the area for content is modified.

Change your density back to default (480), set whatever and change it again.

Okay, so i changed the dpi back to 480, and it's still not loading the themes, it says my screen resolution is not supported.

Done, still doesn't work. I checked their list of supported resolutions, and they have 1776 x 1080 listed, by my resolution is 1777 x 1080. How can i get it to match that resolution?

Are you using a modified size navigation bar?

I don't think so? I running the N5X ROM, and i used textdroider_dpi to change the dpi, but i haven't messed with the navigation bar... :/
Edit: I figured it out, the N5X ROM had the navigation bar size set to 99%, i changed it back to 100%, thanks for your help!

Thought it would be something like that. Lol.
You can change the dpi on the stock ROM without ROOT by chaging the "smallest width" setting in developer settings. I have mine set to 550 it's looks amazing!
Here is a screenshot of setting menu at 550.
You could also just change the setting in Settings > Display > Advanced > Display Size > Small
411 is default. 434 is the smallest you can go to get an extra icon of space on the status bar (meaning you can fit another icon before you get the overflow dot). 453 is the magic number for the notification side. "Small" per the post above is 484.
Worth it, you can barely notice a difference otherwise. Now if only we had an option to do ONLY the status bar... then we'd be cookin. But this will do for now.

Nope it's not the same. Putting that setting on small does not work on everything. And this way you can go even smaller then the "small" setting.

I have the setting pure+ posted on normal and put the setting I posted on 551 I feel like that's the perfect mix for me ATM. I will keep playing with it to see if I can find a better combo.

It actually is. If you change the setting and go into dev options it shows the dpi changed. Only difference is it's defaulting to a predetermined dpi

Ah yes you are right. Thanks for the heads up.
The small setting only changes it to 484 too big for me still! I like it around 550

Full disclosure I didn't check to verify this, although I already suspected it, until you said something lol

Yeah the olny problem doing it that way is that the change is not enough to really notice a difference.
unfortunately doing it this way compared to doing it via build.prop makes Swiftkey tiny as well
Any one have a suggestion for something in between stock 411 and small 484? Small is just a bit too much for my taste so looking for a happy medium
can we change the DPI through build.prop yet now that we have root?
I added ro.sf.lcd.density=550 and it doesnt seem to be doing anything
doing it through the developer options makes the keyboard unusable.

Which keyboard are you using?

SwiftKey but 550 was a bad example. I want to make everything smaller, so I went down to something like 450 and the keyboard was very hard to use. Same with the default Gboard

Are you rooted? If so I can tell you how to make gboard bigger but I am not sure about Swiftkey

I am rooted yes so I would love to know besides the Gboard setting that increases the size.

Here check if this will work for you! This is the method I was using on my pixel 2 xl it worked great, just one issue is sometimes I could not get the txt edit to save and had to edit the line then got to setting and force stop gboard then go back and save the text file.

Thanks for that link, worked for me on Gboard. Hopefully there will be a solution that I can still use Swiftkey but if not I will be going this route once I get home and adjust the DPI further

I don't have the Pixel yet & I've never tried changing DPI, so forgive me if this doesn't help or if you've already tried this, but Swiftkey has a setting built in to resize the keyboard. I believe it's normally set at "medium", then there is a "large" & "largest" setting to make the keyboard bigger. Go to Swiftkey Settings>Typing>Resize.
Can anyone tell me what their default DPI is? I changed mine in developer settings, now I forget what it was.
Also, what are you using, and hows it working? I've found 360 and 400 work good, except on 400 the keyboard is too low.
Thanks!
392 dpi

Does that make the GBoard too small to use though? that was a problem I seemed to have.

Makes everything too small to use, big screen microscopic text
If you've changed it in Developer Settings you can change it back to default in Additional Settings > Accessibility > Display > Display Size

yes, but that doesn't seem to help the keyboard situation
Thank you help me.
The problem with a title as an entire post is that the title is way too long or the post is way too vague.
Where are you trying to change resolution? Games? Camera? Everywhere?
Have you tried any apps or settings already that didn't work?
Are you rooted? Are there any solutions you would prefer not using (ie. not an app)?
Settings -> Display -> App Scaling allows you to turn off the fullscreen stretch for specific apps, but I don't know the exact resolution it becomes.
