Possible to change screen resolution?

As many of you are most likely aware, the Quarks have a 1440p display. This resolution is higher than the standard 1080p a few years ago.
This creates lots of battery drain and CPU and GPU strain as the device must drive all of those pixels. Our devices can do it with relative ease, however I seek a way to downgrade the resolution to 1080p. This would help battery life as well as performance.
It's possible on an LG G3, so I was wondering if it is on Quark.
Any ideas?

Answer for the Quark. Yeah, it's over in the Droid Turbo forum, but was posted when we were all one big forum.

That seems to only work on a per app basis. I guess that's the only solution.
Thanks; are there any other ideas?

Yes, I found this solution some time ago, when I was looking to save battery. But let me tell you that I haven't noticed any improvement. Anyway, you need a rooted device, install a terminal emulator app, and type:
su
wm size 720X1280

You will also need to change screen density, you can change it with this command:
wm density xxx

With "xxx" being the wanted screen density, I have tested with 300 and 280.
To restore original values, you have to type:
su
wm size 1440x2560
wm density 560

Hope that helps.

And? Battery drain is better with 1080p?

The only app I had scaling issues with is the moto display screen. No matter what DPI I set I could not get it to look correct (or unlock from it, had to hit power to get to the normal unlock screen) at 1920x1080. Also, the DPI editor in that app did nothing and you MUST change the DPI when going to a lower res. I always use the build.prop editor in ROM toolbox to change DPI. I had a good experience with it personally but I like the convenience of picking up my phone and swiping to unlock without having to hit the power button. Could've been placebo but the phone did seem a touch snappier and I broke 8hr SoT a few times when running a lower res. I assume that can be chalked up to using less power in any rendering tasks. I do probably average around 7hr SoT on stock res.
In short, if you like not having to hit the power button to unlock your phone, changing res isn't for you. If you don't mind I say it's worth a test run at the least as it is easy to undo.

Thanks for the information guys; gonna be trying this out over the next few days.

Theoretically, yes. I need to test out the battery life as well as performance before I can make a conclusion, though.

Stock Rom V.S Custom Rom!!

Witch do you think is better based on performance and battery.

stock rom usually provides better battery life because of the optimizations done by the manufacturer. I'm still comfortable with stock rom because the performance is top notch and battery life is amazing. so from my perspective, if the phone offers snappy and smooth operation with good battery endurance plus frequent updates then yes, stock rom is better. once the updates stop, I'll switch to custom rom.

If you want bokeh gimmick and slow-motion, good battery life, stick with stock .

Still there on mine, turn on video mode, then swipe in from the left and it's near the bottom.

Yesterday in Mobile market, I saw the P10, Mate 9, Nova 2 and Honor 8 and none of them had anything called slow motion video. Maybe it's just removed from EMUI

Lol, we are lucky yesterday i got the update and updated still have the features.

FRD-L09, B389, slow-mo is there

@frisky_bg has the answer.
Slow motion is not available if we set the screen smallest width to more than 409 dpi. I had mine previously set to 420.

[Discussion] Bringing up the brightness by a kernel

Is it just possible that some kernel brings up maximum brightness?
Actually I think it is more than likely that HTC would have brought down maximum brightness mostly for battery savings.
Any thoughts about that?

Well I answer to my own question with this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/screen-brightness-t2941902/post60347394
It seems that Kernel Adiutor offers this option. I will try when I root the phone.

[Solved] How to enable high brightness mode?

Is there something like a magisk module for that? I'm rooted on 9.0.4 8.1.0

There is one I found, but it's to fix adaptive brightness being too low:

Usually it's kernel based. Not sure about magisk. Lots of them support it but most of them need you to turn it on/off manually. I like elemental ex kernel because flar2 (the developer) provides a paid app that makes high brightness mode fully automatic. You can even Adjust the light threshold by which it comes on and off. I have it and love it on 9.0.5 oos. Worked for me rooted on 9.0.4 as well.

You can also buy high brightness mode for like $1 in the play store. If don't want to pay, custom ROMs, kernels or magisk modul.

Yeah I know about this app but does it work? Is it safe? A kernel seems like a better option.

I use the app, it works fine for me. You won't get a display as bright as the high end flagships like Samsung or Apple, but it definitely increases the brightness when you're outdoor

Apparently the app is developed by the guy who makes the ex kernel so I think I'm gonna use both. Thanks!

I have not received my ONEPLUS 6 yet.. so just curious if you all feel like Stock OnePlus brightness is decent in direct sunlight?

Yup, that's what I do! I also recommend the magisk module lkt for battery savings.

Mmm okay, although I had read a guy who supposedly had already done it, although I would like to know the downsides of all these things.

I think you should clarify. I think you are referring to overclocking the screen refresh rate and the other guy is referring to overclocking cpu speed.
