systemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml - ask grok to rewrite all dpi’s.
Would there be any way to do that through app settings Reborn?
What should I backup before doing this? In case I run into a issues…
Everything that you don’t want to get erased

Here is a guide I found on reddit. Credits: u/elmosface @NotABird
Most apps are made for phones with bigger screens and the display is usually not optimized for dumbphones with smaller screens. You can change the resolution of the phone but that will affect all apps, even the ones that were originally sized normally. Here is guide to change the DPI for only specific apps (and customize for each app on its own). This will only work on a rooted phone with Magisk installed (maybe I’ll make a guide for that later) and I only tried it on the TCL Flip 2 but it should work on any rooted phone (QIN F21 Pro and the like).
Download LSposed , SCRCPY , App Settings Reborn and FX File Explorer
Install FX File Explorer and App Settings Reborn and copy LSposed to your phone storage (do NOT unzip it)
If you’re using a non-touch phone unzip and run SCRCPY (your phone needs to be in debugging mode to run SCRCPY)
Open Magisk and tap the settings icon (top right)
Scroll down a bit and select the option to install Zygisk, reboot the phone after it’s installed
Open Magisk again and tap Modules (the little puzzle piece on the bottom)
Select Install from Storage and select FX File Explorer to choose the file (for some reason it wouldn’t show up in the phone’s file explorer)
Select the LSposed zip file and follow the instructions and then reboot after installing
LSposed manager should pop up in notifications and you can open by tapping the notification, if it doesn’t show up you can also launch it by dialing # #5776733 ## (# LSPosed # )
Tap on Modules (little puzzle piece) and activate App Settings Reborn, then tap on Expand and select the apps you would like to give it access to
Exit LSposed and open App Settings Reborn
Tap on the app you would like to customize from the list and tap the switch on top to allow changes
Set the DPI you would like (try 120 and see if you like it, You can always change it) and hit the save icon on top
Enjoy your resized app! ( you may need to clear the app from recent apps and open it again for the changes to take effect)
I followed all the steps but it just doesn’t change the dpi.

Hi, Which app cloner do you recommend for resizing one app?
The basic one you can find anywhere

Thanks, that worked but if I want to put the app on another device it throws an error saying the device is not registered with App Cloner. is there a better way to lower the DPI of an app that I want to put on multiple devices?

Dunno if this will help you but I noticed it recently

Great find!
I mimicked how App Cloner changes DPI. I didn’t like how when people were using App Cloner it injected tons of stuff into their app.
Feel free to leave a star…

# #5776733 ##
I think the formatting omitted the asterisk’s, its supposed to be *#*#5776733#*#*

I am trying to use this to lower the dpi of an this app. Since I don’t have the source code I was using the precompiled classes.dex files. I used @ars18 apk downloader and merged the split apks. I placed the classes.dex into the decompiled apk and filed it as the next classes.dex (classes5.dex) and added this line of code into the manifest.
It doesn’t seem to make a difference in the dpi, I tried multiple classes.dex files. What am I doing wrong? Do I have the code in the wrong spot in the manifest?
