waiting for some genius to create an app to automate all that

yes overkill, i'm using ultra and i don't see any problem with it. there's no need for extreme unless you frequently transfer large and many files to and from ur computer

use other launcher or go to settings>apps and find touchwiz then clear its data. most probably its one of the widgets

you can try go to the settings and see if there's text size, but it will decrease the whole phone's text i think, other than that you need to root it to get the text any way smaller.

i highly suggest you learn xposed framework and app settings to change the dpi of your apps, honestly it is not that hard, i can blindly write the instruction for you

install xposed installer
open it then go to framework and choose install xposed framework
open xposed installer, choose download, search for app settings, press on it and install
go to module, and tick app settings
restart
open app settings, search for messages app, press the switch to enable it
you will see dpi as 0 at first it means default, original size is 480, change it to lower to decrease the size, like 360, press save button
restart

its very easy and not that complicated and best is you get to reduce the size of any app to your liking, like whatsapp

the 10% lost to where?
