Then you can select the build.prop file select the ES text editor option, choose Edit File or whatever from the upper-right menu, make your changes, hitting the arrow in the upper-left corner to save the file).

Unfortunately, changing the ro.sf.lcd_density can affect performance, causing screen lag, but it's something we have to put up with in order to get the proper UI back since we can't change the source-level settings that determines which UIs to use at which pixel densities (a change that would take less than a minute for Kobo to do the next time they recompile the kernel for an update, if they ever do any more updates, anyways - maybe 10 minutes if they wanted to code in a toggle to place in the settings to change it).
Thank you very much !

I hope Kobo-Robin is reading this thread and will be inspired by it... Thanks to him as well !!!
