Is it possible to lower the resolution of our TF700 in specific situations? I'm not talking about changing the DPI to make things look bigger/smaller, I'm talking about setting the display that normally runs at 1920x1200 to change to 1280x768 or something, and upscales the image to fit the display. I'm wondering because we all know that Tegra 3, while being quite powerful, isn't exactly sufficient for driving this monster display, at least not for games. Anyone with a stock unoverclocked kernel playing NFS Most Wanted or a similarly intensive game knows what I'm talking about. It's fine rendering the image, but I think the VRAM lacks either the capacity or speed to drive the display at the resolution of the display. So is this possible: An app/tweak/magic spell that forces the display to run at a lower resolution, and upscales the image to fit the display. This might really improve gaming on the device. I don't mind playing at a 720p resolution on a ten inch device, it'll still look fin, in a fast moving game you don't really have time to look for jaggies anyway...
Well, I don't have an answer but I second that this would be an interesting thing to have. Recently I was involved in a friends buying decision for a (lower budget) tablet. He found one with HD resolution, but was frightened by a lot of negative reviews. The investigation turned out that this other tablet obviously had problems in driving the HD resolution across all the apps. It can be switched to a lower resolution of 1600xsomething though. I have no clue how this is done there, but the description mentioned that switching the resolution needs a reboot.
In my opinion it would be worth digging into this.
EDIT: Quick check of a test report of that tablet makes me believe the resolution switch is done in its system settings, but needs a reboot after switching.
luv the idea ... have seen it mentioned a few times since they have been out, but still not possible!
would luv to reboot into 1280x800 , would be perfect for most gaming and keeps the 16:10 aspect ratio ... :fingers-crossed:
Even to change the resolution, woulnt the tablet still be pushing a full hd screen? Just at a lower resolution rate?

If this achievable our device would be faster than rocket launcher with the low resolution!!
Epic Citadel manages to get 40 fps with rather detailed graphics in native resolution even on our TF700, so it's mostly a question how good the engine is optimized.
In theory it should be possible to do video mode setting like on a desktop. My first experiments with fbset resulted in a crash though...
Anyone find out if this is possible? I started playing Aralon HD and the game controls are really small. Its making the action bar or virtual joystick hard to use.
If you're on 4.2 and rooted, use these shell commands:
Code:
su
am display-size 1280x800
am display-density 160
this will lower the resolution to 1280x800 at 160dpi, but 3D performance is still not as smooth as with real 1280x800 tablets.

I use this for some old game and works perfectly.
Hey, I am on CROMi-X 4.7.0 and I typed:
su
am display-size 1280x800
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then some aplications crashed and were crashing and crasing on and on (SystemUI.apk something like that)
So I managed to turn the device off (not the hard way, the normal way) and after restarting I'm in a boot loop. The normal bootanimation (1920x1200) is showing, than it changes for a second to 1280x800 (it goes to a corner) and than little android message box appears Android is Updating Starting Aplications.. and I'm back in the first stage of booting animation.
UPDATE
I did factory format and it works now. There are some graphical gliches, but it works. The black space on taskbar is to big

How did you do that? I just made the same mistake, but seeing as it won't boot, I can't access the SD card.
Edit:// After a long time messing around with any combination of volume and power buttons, it finally got into the recovery.

If you want to run that resolution why don't you install CROMi-X 5.0 RC2? sbdags included an EXPERIMENTAL option to run the tablet in 1280x800 in that version.

Be careful with this as it's easy to end in a bootloop if your build.prop DPI does not match the one above. As Bernd says I have done a better implementation of this in CROMi-X 5.0.

Hi guys. Lets say I have a game or app and it lags cause of 1080p. (DO NOT answer like: This is not the resolution problem, because sometimes it is). Or just app is not supported by full HD. Anyway. Can I change the resolution for 1280x800 (Popular and from normal Transformer)? Does simply DPI change work? What to set? Please tell me. Just for the situation with 1280x800, I want ALL apps etc to run in this resolution. Will it lag anyway?
Sorry for my English.

Actually this is a pretty good question. Some games can't really be displayed in full HD because it just requires much better hardware than is in our devices. Lowering the resolution would probably be very helpful in improving the frame rate and consequently the game play.

I'd like to know an answer to this too. Is there a simple way to do this, such as installing an app from the Play Store?
perhaps paranoid android can help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904894
have not tried it myself.
I don't know of any app or setting that does what you want.
changing the dpi will do nothing to change the resolution. all that does is tell the OS the physical size of the pixels on the screen in an attempt to keep UI elements the same size across varying dpi screens.
for example, if you take an icon and display it on a regular screen and an hdpi screen with a straight 1:1 pixel mapping, it will appear much smaller on the hdpi screen. but if you tell the OS what the pixel density of each screen is, it then has a reference point and can then enlarge or shrink the icon so that it appears to be roughly the same physical size on both screens.
this is why lowering the dpi setting on your device shrinks everything. the OS thinks the pixels of the display are much larger than they are and shrinks the images to make them appear the intended size.
to change the display resolution, you'd first need a display driver that supports the lower resolutions, which we seem to have since we can output at 720p over hdmi. then you need a screen that will upscale lower resolutions to fullscreen (because you really don't want to play in a tiny 1280x720 window do you?) when non-native input (something other than 1920x1200) is received. i'm not sure if the display in the infinity is built to do that. they may have designed it thinking they will never run it at anything other than native resolution and left it at that.
who said anything about dpi?
Transformer TF300 update on TF700
Happily we have previous Transformers with almost the same hardware and lower screen resolution. Do I have FULL HD installing this (UP) ? I guess gaming on tablet with lower resolution is not possible, but maybe I can downscale the graphics with CHAINFIRE 3D. This is really cool feature. I think we all need it (now and in future). 1280x800 is acceptable res, and some games just won't work on FULL HD.

I just noticed that when I view my website, Chrome doesn't seem to be using the full resolution of the tablet. Let me explain.
When I look at the 660x440 pixel images on my Desktop (Viewsonic VX2450, 1920x1080 resolution), these take up a relatively small portion of the screen, and I can see the entire image without scrolling. But when I view it on my Asus Infinity, which runs the same 1920x1080 resolution, the same 660x440 pixel image is much larger - the portrait orientated shots cannot be fully seen without scrolling, indicating that the vertical resolution is not 1080 pixels, for all practical purposes.
I have the "Desktop Requested" option selected, and I don't see any other settings to effect how Chrome displays its pages.
Am I missing something basic here, have something not set-up properly, or is this just the nature of the beast? FWIW, this works the same in the stock browser as well.
I feel the same way about chrome
try using different browsers
i think that the Maxthon browser is the best when it came to viewing images
they have a version made just for tablets
Same here with chrome.
I don't understand what's going on with it.
A lot of people rave about chrome.
Been using it trying figure out how it works.
Settings are minimal, web pages in Android won't zoom normally.
I agree about Maxthon or just about any other browser.
Features are much better in most other choices.
(*the TF700T has a resolution of 1920 by 1200)
I can't say I have noticed this myself by haven't tried a direct test. Have you tried looking at the browser settings for default zoom level? Possibly one or the other is displaying not at 100% zoom?
I appreciate the replies.
I have looked, but can't find any setting that would effect zoom or scaling, or something along those lines. Putting "chrome://chrome/settings/" into the address bar, which works on the desktop version of chrome, doesn't provide access in the android version ("this webpage is not available").
Guess I'll play around with some other browsers and see what I can find. I've heard/read good things about Boat and Dolphin; will have to check out Maxthon as well.
I just was curious about this, since it was unexpected - I would have assumed that the full 1920x1080 resolution would be taken advantage of by either the stock or the chrome browser, but apparently not...
Any other thoughts appreciated.
*note
The Infinity's res is 1920x1200
I know I know I'm a know it all
The other options I have just thought of is that I have not had a great deal of look with Chrome and requesting the desktop version of a website, even if you tick to get the desktop, I still get the mobile version. I mainly use the stock browser as you can default it to displaying desktop version (amongst other things). Or possibly, if you're using a different way of accessing the internet (wifi vs a 3G connection) the website may be delivering the content differently? I know that mobile operators in the UK used to scale down images/compress them over their connections, although I don't think they do this anymore. Just a thought...

Switch your desktop OS to 240 dpi and then compare again. Browsers for high res screens usually zoom images because otherwise they would be far too tiny and out of proportion with the text.

Is it possible to change the DPI on a stock, unrooted Infinity tablet? I did a quick search and found LCD Density Modder that can do this, but it requires root. I can't find any 'conventional' settings on the device that will allow this.

No, you need a custom kernel for that. Maybe it's possible to just find another browser where you can zoom out further.

You cannot change DPI on a fully stock TF700. Furthermore, although I can't find the reference at the moment, I have a vague memory of someone reporting in here after bricking their 700 with LDC Density Modder - I refrained from using it for that reason myself. (I haven't dared trying it, even with the Pro version I paid for for my SGS2... Sorry!)

I forgot to mention that I did try the Maxthon Browser - its settings do give you the option to change the default zoom (far, medium, close). But when I select "far" it does properly display whatever page I have open at less zoom, but then when I go to other pages, it reverts back to the usual medium setting (even though the settings menu itself still shows it on the "far" setting). So it's a poorly implemented, buggy feature, and I just uninstalled it. Haven't tried Boat or Dolphin yet.
It's not a huge issue, but it just hit me the other day that these browsers weren't scaling things properly, and I wanted to understand why, and what, if anything, I could do about it. Your comment about this being based on the dpi setting, rather than simple pixel resolution, makes a lot of sense.
Chrome just updated this morning.
Found the text scaling option\zoom, however the android browser still doesn't fit the tabs screen.
So chrome is still an ongoing PIA for this tablet at 1920x1200.......
Coming from the ground up

Hello everybody, and before all, sory for my english
The main objetive of this thread is to provide a guide to increase performance on high density screen GPU bound devices, for example, the nexus 10.
The last year android devices start shiping with very high definition screens, but without the necesary GPU muscle to make them work good.
Since I was a PC gamer, I know the terrible impact of high definition on the gaming performance, and, on this screen size, this is a useless impact, since the extra resolution are practicaly unperceptible.
The past week I spend a lot of time trying to change my device's resolution (a nexus 7) and with kernel modding, it is posible, but don't are great since I only play 1/3 of the devices usage, and the 1280x800 resolution are great for chat, browsing (or posting on the forum ).
Finally I find a great program that allow me to temporary change the display resolution of my device, and with the free version I was allowed to change resolution to 720x450, and on gaming performance, that was a GREAT performance updrade, even, with the wuality sacrifice (and on a 7 inch display, this wasn't a great lose.
In order to do that, I need to disable soft keys, since they bug A LOT with the resolution change, and to use a custom launcher because the default launcher bug too (go launcher ex is my favourite and the only one I test).
So, I leave a guide on how to prepare your device to use this mod to increase gaming performance, and to provide help to everyone who want it.
First of all, you NEED to be rooted.
Now, start with the device preparing.
Wee need a soft keys replacement, I recomend this one, work great and are really simple to customize.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
Now, you need to remove the soft keys in order to gain extra screen space and to protect yourself from potential bugs on the user interface.
To do that, you need to edit your build.prop with an editor or manually with a text editor and add this line.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Now, on the next boot your device have the soft keys disabled.
To protect the status bar from being bugged, we need to change the lcd density of our display in order to allow a phone status bar (the phablet one bug on low resolution displays, and on tablets without sofkeys, we need a status bar.
To do that, we need to edit from the build.prop editor the "ro.sf.lcd_density" parameter and set it to something above 214 (nexus 7 have 213 and it enable the phablet interface, and on 214 it enable a full phone interface, but with small icons and more work space, you need to test and find the most usefull dpi for your device)
Now, we need to install the "magic app", and start testing resolutions and trying to find the most confortable for us, I have the paid version and use on the nexus 7 (16:10 or 8:5) 480x768 since it allow GREAT performance improvement and a good image quality for my screen size.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer
One example of a game that work GREAT with this trick is N.O.V.A. 3, on the tegra 3 plataform it is almost inplayable, and with the trick, on my nexus 7, it looks like this.
So, start testing this, and post your results, configs and devices.

Edit: Changed the APK link, to a new one, the new app have onscreen buttons to fix the navbar problems, so, pie controls are no longer needed, I leave the link here onlfy for people to know another alternative, thx for NoMone Devs!
i am planning to buy a 7 or 8" android with high resolution and was a bit worried about gaming performance because of the high resolution.. can you post a video of the performance gain plz?
Whoa! I might give this a go when I get home. Good Job.
i am interested for feedbacks in other heavy games like modern combat 4
this!
what android device and other mobile devices lacks.
there's no setting to set the resolution!
people out there always suggest me to change the dpi, but hell no!
"dpi" is not physical resolution, it just changing icon and other ui element to small or big.
this terms confuse many people.
they think DPI is the screen resolution.
and.... i just cannot understand the hype,
many vendors put high res 1080p on 5" device?
what the heck!? is it necessary?
what's next? ultra 4K res on 4" screen?
come on.. it's unnecesary and waste of battery.
gpu works hard to get the job done in that resolution. especially gaming.
thank you for sharing this trick for us.
google should consider to put resolution changer on the next android.
and android vendor should realize put hi-res on small screen is just plain dumb.

Yes, on the HTC Desire 480x800 display, you need to set it to something lower that it, for example, 360x600, it increase the gaming performance, this trick work great on high res display like the nexus 7 or nexus 10 displays for example, try to reduce the resoution to something that retain the original aspect ratio and be lower that 480x800, 360x600 or 240x400 make a grat change, but im not sure about image quality on this device...

thanks a8 soc
I tried tweaking my resolution to a higher one yet nothing happens on my Alcatel OneTouch T10. Any fix on this?
Sory for the lazy responce, I have so much time working and other personal things I read on the store that the apk only make the new resolution use the full screen on 4.2+ so if you are on 4.1-, you have it with black borders, sory, but I cant do anything for this :/
is there any way after change resolution for fix buttom touch key(it doesnt work physical touch key)? or any idea where is touch key config file or something like that related in root?

For me, the way to go is sticking with default res for everything except gaming, as I say, I have two scripts on 2 widgets on my main screen, one with the commands
su
wm size 500x800
And the other with the commands
su
wm size reset
on jely bean 4.3 this commands set the override resolution of the screen.
on android 4.2.x the wm have to be replaced with am.
The app launch this terminal commands and override our resolution, but since I cant buy the app because of credit card and legal issues on argentina, I made my own scripts with smanager and swidgets . Quick on the fly change, and "letz rack!"
i am using this fantastic program on my thl w8s to scale resolution from 1080p to 720p during games and the speedup is fantastic...i set tasker to autolaunch the app when i click on the game icon, and once finished the game just click on fixes/reset resolution to bring everything back to 1080p . this program is great and the only one i have found...let's hope the developer doesn't abandon it and keeps making it better....and with a better integration in tasker maybe
Ever wonder why your phone can't run a game smoothly as another device which has lower performance specifications? I sometimes ask myself this with 1.2ghz quad core cpu and powervr sgx544 gpu along with 1GB ram runs Asphalt 8 laggy at high or even medium settings? While a 480x800 HVGA phone runs it with better performance? See thats the problem right there a resolution of 720x1280 GPU will run slower than a 480x800 Same GPU. Why am I doing this well I got tired of hearing games not optimized for my gpu and seeing that lower end phones running games I cant run.
So i decided to do some research of my GPU and have understand that it's a capable GPU and then i thought to myself what if i can change game resolution for more performance similar to a PC or i tried HVGA games on my WVGA and it was faster. That was the moment i can run asphalt 8 on high settings now thanks to changing resolution. I have seen a lot of apps and saw where someone tried it and stuck at bootloop well this App is safe to use, although i can't guarantee that!
READ CAREFULLY!
Root Devices Required for this to work!
Requires root on Android 4.3 and higher.( i got 4.2 and it worked)
Google Play
NOMone Resolution Changer
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer ( i need 10 post total to insert links)
This app you can see your current settings to the top - Width x Height - DPI (Mines 720x1280 320dpi)
You can revert back to that default settings if you messed up or you can try a custom settings and if you can't see navigation bars or or even the virtual keys JUST PANIC OMG I'm just kding do nothing and it automatically reverts back in 10 seconds.
You can also choose a preset, there are from QVGA to WVGA resolutions.
Simply set a custom or preset settings and see it instantly activated no reboot required you don't have to go into build.prop file either.
1.) If app says superuser denied..go find superuser or SU# if u have it installed as an app and allow it manually.
2.) Changing resolution problems can happen if you lower your height resolutions your soft touch keys might not work, ENABLE virtual keys in app settings and tick the bars your going to need eg back, menu, task etc.
3.) If you happened to set a resolution and you select SKIP revert and your phone locks and half of the lock screen is cut off which means you cannot slide to unlock try sliding screen to right side my camera opens up and my phone is unlock again. I don't know about other devices so i ''HIGHLY RECOMMEND'' do not leave phone unattended for lock screen to activate. IF YOU DO SO restarting phone won't help you will be stuck.
You can try Different resolutions take a look here copy paste into address bar...pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 600x1280
Asphalt 8 Significance performance increased.
Nova 3 Runs smoother than before.
Blu life play - 720x1280 (default)
changed resolution to something like 320x480(dont look that bad its like 800x600 on 16:9 wide screen)
I can noticed fps is around 50-60 in Asphalt 8
This should work for all phones in the requirement field. It's like changing PC game resolution which increases fps according to the bottleneck.
Note : This is just a guide I'm not the owner of this app
and i don't take any responsibility if something happens to your phone.
hahaha
Well it worked for me lmfao :laugh::laugh:
I wonder if this is safe, can anyone post more feedback?
if it works 100%, thank you very much for sharing

yea it's safe because if anything goes wrong it automatically switches back your're resolution after 10 seconds. Just ensure that you're Root on Android 4.3 and higher(i have 4.2 and it worked) GL

Yea man but i think there are 4.3 and also 4.4 on xda for ace plus don't know if it's stable because I'm not sure though
Much Better If...
I think it's much better if you use the Xposed Module AppSettings. It also has Per-App Resolution Changer, and it's much easiee to use, and probably more efficient

Will this work in 2021?
As the title says, you can use the adb wm size command to change the resolution, higher.
On most phones the resolution shipped is the highest available.
The RM3&3S ship stock 1080p but easily go up much higher.
Personally i recommend 1440x3120
wm size 1440x3120
In an su terminal or adb by pc.
This brings the display up to current phones resolution! (2k)
Enjoy!
As for performance and battery life, there is no noticeable NEGATIVE impact. However, when screen recording or streaming your screen, it can lag if your connection cant support the higher resolution. Native screen recording should be unaffected.

wow nice
anyone has tested this ?
I have downloaded the DevCheck app and under HARDWARE tab > Graphics > Resolution, it is shown as 2340 x 1080. Does it mean that on adb I have to type wm size 3120x1440 instead ?
Thank you

I have tried changing the resolution yes the screen changed to a smaller icon etc but the problem is the below area is not responding to touch for example, the soft button; back, home and app manager does not work when touched.
On mine

On mine it works without issue at all and I can touch all the way up to 5k no problem, can you tell me your device model and rom?
Not to be rude or offend you but it is 100% user error on your side, the resolutions are accepted, and tested on A11 and A10 multiple devices. Also the icons smaller and all that is just based on DPI, resolution is the resolving power.

No, use 1440x3120 it matters what order the numbers are in.
Thankyou
Thank you. For the display to work properly, you also need to change the pixel density. We enter three commands in adb:
wm size 1440x3120
wm density 640
reboot
Increased clarity even in games! See screenshots...

In the "Density" field, enter the DPI, and in the "Resolution" field, enter the width and length. After changing each parameter, click "Apply" in its block to save the new values. They will apply after a reboot.
I played around with this screen resolution and returned to standard resolution!
