DPI settings in Android 7

luckies

Hey,

i am missing the android 7 stock/vanilla feature to scale the dpi settings unter "settings -> display".
Why this is removed by Umi/MTK or whoever is building the ROMs for UmiDigi?

I dont want to root my device, only to scale the resolution on my display...
Plase add this feature.

No one else is missing this?

You can try setting it through an ADB command - I reduced my Plus E's DPI from 480 to 400 before rooting it was even possible through this method. But you'll need the USB Debugging option enabled first.
First, scroll down in 'About phone', in Settings, and quickly tap the "Build number" fileld seven times, that will enable the Developer settings. You can get back to the Settings main screen, and such option will show up right above the "About phone" option. Go there and enable the USB debugging. Then, on your PC, download this ADB drivers, and install it (it takes less than a minute). I'd recommend you to keep a copy of the installer, you never know when you can need such drivers after formatting your PC, for example.

And now you're ready. Just plug your phone in the PC, open a Command Prompt window in your Desktop (Shift + Right Click > Open command window here), and type the following command:

adb shell wm density <value> && adb reboot

In my case, it was adb shell wm density 400 && adb reboot, for example.

Then, you can hit Enter, and your device will reboot, with the desired DPI.

I recommend you to check and remember or write down your device's default DPI before reducing it, just in case you want to revert it for any reason.
