build.prop changes are not registering

[Matt Ayres]

Hi there... recently Flashed 5.1, rooted my device then went ahead and tried to change the DPI like I always do after a flash and its not working...

I have tried setting the value ro.sf.lcd_density to 400 and it wont register.

The setting has definately been modified when i review the build file...

I have tried various apps that change DPI too and none of them work

Any ideas?

There are apps available in the play store to change the screen density. Have you taken a look at those? Only reason why Ivan think the build prop settings are not sticking is due to the permissions being set wrong.

Take a look at those apps and let us know how that goes.
