Currently the artboards and symbols are created at the XXHDPI display density due to the constraint of my having only a Nexus 5 to work with. This isn't ideal as assets are 3X the standard MHDPI (at 1px), making exporting to other resolutions a pain in the royal ass (dividing by 3 isn't particularly pretty).

I'll probably prioritize this issue above most, since it affects the viability of the project for production-ready mockups.

Why don't you choose the baseline mhdpi? Doesn't sketch 3's export help dealing with the scaling for the most part?
Designing in mhdpi would use the same measurements that android developers use.

For the same reason iOS designers don't design at non-Retina resolutions anymore, as most Android devices on the market today are at least XHDPI. I hope by bringing a GUI template for Android up to par with Teehan+Lax's iOS counterpart, designers will have a better/easier time working with Android.

This is a designer resource first. Besides, handoff shouldn't be too hard even at XHDPI with Sketch's 0.5x export option. That said, you're welcome to contribute a MDPI version. The more the merrier!

I like the fact this template is XXHDPI. Its the only one I've found. There are already a few at XHDPI (Nexus 4) screen density. You can find them here: http://www.sketchappsources.com/search_android-.html

It's a shame that a great template like this isn't included in Sketch like they've done with the ios templates.

Really great work! Thanks for making this available.
