I pretty much bricked the UI now with the build property editor's ro.sf.lcd_density setting. I first set it to mdpi (160) which made my UI elements tiny (should have made them bigger) and the keypad's back button was missing for whatever reason, so the only change I could make is to add a letter to make it high density (1160) - now it is totally unusable:

How can I rid of this setting and get back to normal?

  • Do you've USB debugging enabled or a custom recovery installed or original build.prop file available or stock ROM's zip? Related: http://android.stackexchange.com/a/131556/96277 – Firelord May 20 '16 at 19:27

  • 480dpi; @Firelord - thanks for the nice link, I upvoted you even though I ended up flashing a new ROM – Gabor May 20 '16 at 20:08

    Can you access the device via ADB and get a root shell? If so, try setprop ro.sf.lcd_density 480. If it works out, make sure to fix up your build.prop before booting the next time. If not, you could try booting into recovery and fix it from there: the build.prop is a plain text file, so you can edit it with e.g. vi. – Izzy May 20 '16 at 20:32
