I ave mine at 130 and love it
What exactly does this do? Does it make the viewing angles better at all?
Its like changing the screen resolution on a computer.
Does it affect battery life at all? Any other drawbacks?
A better question is: "how did you accomplish this?"
App or editing of some config file?

You can edit /system/build.prop on gingerbread, I bet its the same for Froyo, but I am not positive. Or you can use an app. I use LCD Density Changer to change it, but you need to be rooted. Personally I run 130 too and I love it.

It could, theoretically, cause apps to take more GPU or CPU to render, which could change the battery life, but I have not had that happen to any noticeable extent. It also might slow down the rom a bit because of it theoretically needing more GPU or CPU, but again I have not noticed this. Some apps will not display right at lower density values, for example pandora will not center or scale the images correctly and it will look a bit odd because of that.

It will not make the viewing angles any better.

Yes it basically makes it look like its running at a higher resolution because it changes the PPI, but since the actual monitor is at the same resolution the pixles will not become smaller. It will just shrink everything it displays, which will sometimes make small images and text become a bit rough looking around the edges if you go with a very low setting. Some apps will cause more of a problem than others.
thanks for that long description. I've noticed a bit of unresponsiveness...but i've only had my G-Tab for a couple days so I don't know if its the ROM, the GT, or LCD changer.
Have you been any change in screen response?

I have not noticed any change on my phone, but then again I also run Evervolv (2.3 rom) and it might depend on what version of android, what kernel, what CPU scheduler, etc. As far as the tablet, since I have been working on a rom for it (flashing it several times a day) It's really hard to say, sorry I can't be of more help.
So i have just rooted my tablet and with a few quirks it works awesome. sometimes the wallpaper will black out and come back but thats not my issue. my issue is that the tablet is so much faster, on the homescreen anyway. the apps open and transfer so quickly i might just keep it like that. anyone else get this weird, uh thing?

Well i don't know about a black wallpaper but the tablet is definitely smooth with all the system wallpapers.
Obviously the more pixels it has to render the slower it is. Colours are more intensive than a lack of colour (black). And a live wallpaper is the most cpu-intensive.
yea that makes sense but to have the difference be that substantial is pretty ridiculous. having a live wallpaper and being a little jerky here and there is fine but the difference from stock wallpaper to no wallpaper and high res ones is insane
No, it's not insane. You appear to forget we're talking about 1920 by 1200 pixels. That's 2304000 pixels. If they're black, nothing has to be rendered, the value is simply 0.
Any photoshopper can tell you more colour means more resources used, and the bigger the image the more it lags.

The black background still has to be rendered, otherwise you would see the old content that was there before. And obviously, any solid color uses the same amount of resources.
I see what you're saying and it makes sense but shouldn't a device of this stature not be so affected from this? My evo when both on blank wallpaper and a high res one there is no difference in how fast the tablet works and especially how fast apps open. In the tablet though, its very night and day.

I work on a uni computer especially dedicated to heavy rendering and photoshopping. It runs two GTX 680 2GB in sli, an Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition overclocked at 4.2ghz and 32GB ram. (And they won't let me game on it... ) If I try to scroll on a 200% zoom 5000x5000px canvas all black, it's gliding on ice. If I do the same on one with more than 8 colours, it lags more and more as more colours are added. This is basic physics.

Yes that's true. The colour itself doesn't really matter, just the amount of different colours.

Lower screen resolution.
Hi, with that wonderful 4K HDR screen I would certainly not miss out on the VR. It seems that now LCD can show very low latency, so it could be as compatible as OLED.
Anyway if it might not meet the Google's exact requirements, would it have a way to still enable Daydream by a root or something?
Thanks for your help!

I actually want to know this as well. I think I read that even if the phone could get setup for daydream, overheating could be an issue. In any case, a professional input would be nice.
I also want to know.

The LCD screen of the XZ Premium unfortunately doesn't have the minimum requirements of the response time, so DayDream doesn't work, but there's another way to get VR support on the XZP, it is called Trinus VR, works with CardBoard and other lenses, Trinus let you play all the Steam VR and NON-VR games that you have on your PC on your phone (in this case the XZ Premium), this is the only way to get contents in VR for the XZ Premium.

I have installed the Daydream APK on the XZ Premium + the Controller Emulator on my old Xperia Z5, it shows the Bluetooth Emulated Controller as connected, but it doesn't get detected by the Daydream Application. If anyone makes progress on that, feel free to respond.
To anybody who's done this, How was the experience?? Do you suggest buying this phone for VR use?
Thanks.
Good Luck
The Xperia XZ Premium Does Not Support Daydream. But guess what! You don't need Daydream anyway. It's just a managing Application to access VR content. It's in no way a protocol necessary to process VR whatsoever. You don't even need google Cardboard. (don't even bother install it).
The XZP is the Best phone to experience VR, period. That 4K Display works, and It makes a real difference. Way better than the GearVR on the Note 7.
About the LCD display, the latency is a myth. There's no such thing as "LCD display is not responsive enough", etc... Maybe on the Z5 Premium there was some issue because the phone itself was not responsive enough. But the Snapdragon 835 too care of that for the XZP.
This said, yes, of course Amoled is more responsive. But that doesn't mean that "LCD is not responsive enough". At the processing level of the snapdragon 835, you won't notice any differences. But what you will definitely notice is that LCD has way more brightness and image quality to offer. LCD is not taboo for VR. The reason why Daydream is not available on the XZP is because of Sony's poor marketing strategy, lack of collaboration skills with other firms.
To give you an example to support this claim, here's a link to the Pimax 8K upcoming VR Headset, which itself uses LCD Display for VR:
https://www.roadtovr.com/hands-pimaxs-8k-headset-proves-high-fov-vr-coming/
---------------------- BUT
Before rushing to a store to get that XZP, you must first decide why do you want VR for:
- If you want to watch 360/180 videos and 3D movies on a big screen and maybe try some VR games available on the Playstore, then don't stop. Keep running fast!
- But if you focus way more on games and don't care much about videos, then there's the issue that you won't find any VR games that supports 4K. And if you use the ADB modification on your phone to make it display 4K all the time, then you may run into some "heating" problems. And even then, games may crash and not work properly. So don't go buy the XZP for 4K VR gaming. That won't happen. (Right now your only option for that is the Pimax 4K which requires a high end pc. Even the occulus, PSVR or HTC Vive can't offer 4k gaming). But if you're ok with 2k gaming available on the Playstore, then the XZP will play those without problems.
And finally, if for you a wider library of VR Games is too important, then you'd be better with a Samsung phone because of their Occulus app. Occulus has a very strong game library for the GearVR. And even more will come since the GearVR is by far the most successful VR headset.
-------- Conclusion:
1. Forget about Daydream. You don't need it.
2. The XZP's 4K Display offers the best VR experience available.
3. The XZP IS the phone to get to watch VR movies and videos.
4. The XZP will play any VR games available on the Google playstore at 2K resolution.
5. If you want a VR experience focused just on games and want a wider VR games library, you'll be better off with a high end Samsung phone.

I still want to be able to use it though. There are some apps that are limited to it. I tried side loading Netflix VR but I can't control it without Daydream. What really irks me is that it works in the background but I can't use it because of the annoying pop up.
To be honest, I don't care if the experience is not "ideal", I'd at least like the option to judge for myself.
I guess I'll just have to wait for root and Magisk. Even then, we'll be stuck playing mouse and cat with Google if we want to keep Android Pay.

Well, I can tell you one thing, the worst case scenario is that the experience is exactly the same as in any other phones. The XZ premium plays any game available for cardboard "AT LEAST" as good as the Gear VR. And this is from someone who had to give his Note 7 back!
This said, there's an app called "Groovr", (a music visualization app) which is awesome, but it's only available for Occulus or Daydream. There are no cardboard options for it. Meaning that yes, some titles will not be available to you without Occulus or Daydream. Only a root can fix that.
What I find shameful is that those libraries are locked under false pretends. Google claiming that a display has to be Amoled for VR while an LCD 4K Display brings by far the best VR experience, is outrageous.
Steam tried to do a similar thing when they backed up HTC Vive and the Occulus Rift wasn't truly supported. They had to fix that later fearing a lawsuit from Facebook. That's the problem with companies and their formats / platform wars. In the end it's always the Customers who is confused.
So when i use the Youtube app the screen is about an inch short on both sides of being full screen.
There is an option to expand the screen its called "crop to fit" but it literally crops the video so you cant see descriptions captions or things at the bottom or the top of the video....missing content like this
Anyone else notice this.
Any suggestions. This is kind of disappointing.
Whats the point of such of big screen if you cant go full screen mode without it cutting out some of the content???????
When i use the stock Samsung browser to go to Youtube in desktop mode. Same thing its not True full screen.
But if I switch the stock samsung browser to mobile view it gives you 3 options. One of the options lets you go true full screen and doesnt crop as much out. But the thing is you cant select or change the video quality/resolution when its in mobile view. That kind of sucks if you want to watch a 720p or 1080p hd vid
This seems kind of like a big deal. I cant be the only one bothered by this.

There's no good way to scale or crop it. That's what we get because Samsung decided to go with a weird screen aspect ratio instead of making this phone a little wider. I wish it was wide enough to keep the ratio correct.

Wow. If i knew that I would of waited on the Note 8. People always get so hype over these new phones that they dont even question basic stuff anymore.
Dont get me wrong its a great phone but this could be a deal breaker.
But come on you cant watch true full screen HD YouTube vids. WTF.
No point in bragging about the sceen size in all the reviews.
Seems like my old Notes actually had a bigger viewing area if you dont like stuff cropped out. What a bummer.
>But come on you cant watch true full screen HD YouTube vids. WTF
What are you talking about??? If the youtube video is 16:9 you can still watch it on a 18.5:9 screen. Same idea as watching a 4:3 video on a 16:9 screen. You aren't missing anything just because there are black bars on the side. Do you want your phone to show video in the sides that never even hit the camera sensor that filmed whatever video you are watching? You want something literally impossible.
>If i knew that I would of waited on the Note 8.
Guess what... the Note 8 will have the same problem. Every screen on planet earth has this problem. It's not even a problem, its just how reality works. If the note 8 is a 16:9 screen it wont completely fill up with 4:3 videos. on nooo!!! If you get a 2.4:1 home theater projector screen and try to watch a 16:9 video OMG all that money down the drain!!!! You can't fill your screen!!!
Come on. If you absolutely must watch 16:9 videos on your phone with no black bars then don't buy a phone that is clearly not 16:9.

You might as well stop buying Samsung flagships then, Samsung will keep using the taller screen ratio in the future too. And it's literally impossible to fill the entire 18.5:9 screen with a 16:9 video without either cropping the video or stretching it. Video is information, and new information cannot be generated like you are asking (how are you going to return back in time, to have the camera capture more image from the sides to fill the screen with? The camera did not capture more from the sides, meaning it's not possible to know what was there, the information is missing, thus making it impossible to fill the screen without stretching or cropping)
It's a none issue. The picture quality is so exceptional I don't care enough to worry about black bars
Moreover, if watching a common 2.4:1 movie (i.e. 21.6:9) on the 2.05:1 S8/+ display (i.e. 18.5:9), one can enjoy an almost full screen image using only a small cropping, without the upper and lower black bars...:good:

I dont mind the Stretch. I prefer the stretch. However stretch view is not an option with the Youtube app. Youtube app is the only way to change the resolution to HD in full screen mode. Thats the whole point to screens like this is to watch HD stuff.
Thanks for the technical info but that is a bit over my head. I still dont really understand that. Its not absurd to buy a $900 device and expect it to play youtube vids full screen in HD.
The cropping is an issue because it literally cuts out some of the info listed at the bottom on the screen that is important to the vids I watch.
Also kind of defeats the whole purpose of an edgeless display and how the phone was advertised.
You think the Note 8 will have the same issue????? You dont think they will make it a tad wider to compensate and make it different from the s8+?

Nope, if they make it wider with the same tiny bezels, it's going to end up looking short and odd. Samsung isn't going back to the 16:9 aspect ratio, it's going to look old-fashioned to people that are used to the taller screen, now that Samsung has branded it as futuristic and great (Infinity display). And it's not an "issue", because it's just a way that screens work, different ratio screens have things cropped out or stretched out if you want to fill the whole screen.

Things come and go every device. I try not to get caught up in the branding or marketing.
Also I would guess the Note needs to be different size than the S8. Otherwise its just going to be a S8 with a pen and moved fingerprint scanner.
Guess we will see.

Note 8 changes will be a 4K screen, fingerprint scanner embedded inside the screen, dual cameras, 6 gigs of RAM and of course an S-Pen. It's a half-year renovation, the general design will barely change, most likely a bit more square than the S8, but generally the same. The screen size will be the same or a tiny bit bigger than the S8+, this time changes are focusing more on specs than the screen size, that is already at the very edges of what is useful in the S8+. The Note 7 screen size increase over the S7 was minimal too. The Note 8 will also get a major software renovation like the Note 7 did, but thanks to XDA we will see that software in our devices most likely even before official release date of the phone, because the processor is the exact same
The annoying thing for me is when the next video plays I have to crop the screen again I don't know if there's a way to keep it full screen until you exit the YouTube app and when you go full screen straight away the ads go full screen but then the video seems to go black bars and you crop it again.
I never understood why people don't like the aspect ratio. The video would be the same size on another phone but there would just be bezels there instead. At least when I'm in other apps I get more real-estate instead of having just big black bars constantly there in the form of bezels

The Note 8 be about the same price as the S8+ right now, just like last year the Note 7 was about the price of the S7 Edge. And as software is a big selling point of the Note line, I don't feel bad at all getting an S-line device, thanks to XDA
To the average customer, a software refresh may be a big reason to buy a new device, but thanks to XDA, we will get complete software ports of the Note 8 over to the S8 quickly. These ports will also have very few bugs, because the specs are so similar, good example is how a bugless Note 7 ported ROM came to the S7 before the Note 7 actually went on sale
And take in mind that the Note 8 release date will most probably be later in the yearly cycle than last year so that the S8 can get a good run, because the S8 this year came later than S-line phones usually do. I don't find it worth waiting +5 months for those upgrades, when the price will be the same

So when you bought it you had no clue about the new aspect ratio?

None.
All I knew was the hype and that blue whale commercial.
Didnt know it was a thing to make sure the phone was manufactured with certain porportions.
Thought being able to use the screen in HD and full screen would be a given.
I have no problem with stretching the screen from the aspect ratio. However that doesnt seem to be an option on most HD content.

Not trying to be a **** but dude they advertised the hell out of the new aspect ratio to the point it got annoying.i dont know how you wouldn't have known lol
Sounds like in the future you may want to research your purchases a little more carefully.
I do agree Id much rather have the traditional 16:9 ratio in a 6.2" size...would be much better for sure

So I received my one plus 6 today. After setting up, I open play store and all the icons of different apps looks little off as if they are of low quality. Further I look closely at the fonts...they too were off.... like little blurred and not sharp enough. The status bar icon were also not sharp enough as in my brothers poco f1. As if the display is of low resolution. So, Is it how the display of one plus 6 is, is this how AMOLED displays are (never used one before) or I got a faulty piece...?
Probs faulty

I did not said software update made the display quality poor. I just start using phone after updating. I got device 16 hours back and start using after updating. That's when I noticed it. Please check play Store for me and see if apps icons are crystal clear or their outline is little blurred..?
Screenshot
Can anyone check the channel thumbnails on youtube page. They are pretty distorted on my screen.
Did you try re flashing?
I see no difference. Do you see mine as distorted as well?

Here's a crop of a screenshot from the main YT page of this guy:
ALSO, next time make sure that you provide a comparison shot that anyone can use - you are subscribed to the Indian guy. Not everyone is. So we cannot have the same Play Store look. I suggest unsubscribing before you can post a comparison shot.

Yes. Its not distorted. Its like a image which losses its quality when it is compressed. Its hard to explain.

Bro I am just asking you to check the channels DP displayed next to the title of videos in home feed of the youtube app. In my one plus 6 the icons looks pretty distorted as if they are low resolution. Almost every pic (snapshots of videos) and channel pic I see in youtube app looks distorted/low quality. I just want you to check it on your device ..do you see any distorted/low res channelpics/text/video thumbnails when you look little closely ? There's no need to post it here because if my display is faulty then no matter what ever I see in it..... it will look distorted.

Yes pixelated thumbnail. Thats the same pixleted app icons I'm seeing on play store as well if you look little closely. Even the clock widget placed on home screen is not sharp enough (pixleted edges) if you look closely. And even the screen boundary is little pixeleted (not smooth) around the corner and edges of notch if you look closely especially in app with white status bar like instagram. Please confirm it to me.
