LG G2 Cardboard fix

Fixing the double vision on your LG G2 using Cardboard

When this problem occurs

If you have installed a custom rom on your LG G2 probably the DPI setting has changed. The DPI setting is used to calculate the pixel density, and consequently the real measures of your screen. Google Cardboard calculates the distance between eyes using the DPI setting, and if it's wrong some apps using the old CardBoard SDK don't show properly.

Here's an example

With 480 DPI (CyanogenMod default setting) [inverted]  x inches                    [/inverted]

With 424 DPI (LG G2 real DPI) [inverted]  x inches     [/inverted]
