This won't work if your Gear 2 is still running Tizen, sorry.
The original DPI on Biktor's Android wear for Gear2 is 280. I found that changing it a little improves everything a lot.
Here is how you do it :
1) Enable USB debugging on your watch and connect it to you PC.
2) Start ADB
3) If for whatever reason, you want to know what your current DPI is, type this : adb shell wm density
4) To change DPI, type this : adb shell wm density 200 (yeah, I suggest 200 for Gear2, but the choice is yours)
The screenshot on the left is with DPI 200, the one on the right with original 280 DPI.
Enjoy

Hi everyone
So, I have this Android Tablet called the Haipad M701 which runs on Android 2.1
By default the icons and everything are HUGE, doesn't look too good So, I rooted the device and found a density setting which by default was at 240. I changed it to different values between 160 to 240 and with smaller values it looks very nice
BUT at any value other than the default 240, almost ALL apps and games are no longer in fullscreen
Does anybody know if there might be a fix for that?
Thanks
wow... not a reply since sept... not sure if you get it fixed or not.
one step you can try is to turn off the compatibility mode in your tablet.
this should fill up the whole screen in most apps except some apps that written specifically for small screen phone without adding large screen display mode in it.

Choose that resolution in the installer?
or open a terminal emulator session and type the following:
Code:
su
wm density 160
wm size 1280x800
to reset
Code:
su
wm density reset
wm size reset

Works fine here....

If someone can helping fixing secondary display by leaving scale the same and changing only the main screen.
This gives a better life battery lasting for 1 day moderate use and 5 hours full time working screen ( with 1080p scale).
No root required.

How can we do this as root without computer
I've just tried it,
tried scaling to 720P (Battery life is so important to me, and this phone isn't a good one) but did't like the scaling (everything so large) and felt like loosing alot of the experience
I've scaled to 1080P and it's fine for now, will try it for few days, hopefully it would perform better
Hope to remember to feed you back on the result

You need change DPI when change resolution.

it annoyed me that no one answered.
through terminal on your phone, type "su" then enter, then type the same commands just without "adb shell"
I've tried some resolutions, but I see that part of the screen becomes black. I wish there was a way to preserve all pixels, but with a real rescale and no losing screen. Some help? :')

Actually, I answered the question myself. What happens with this unique smartphone is that the wm takes in count the secondary display as the physical resolution. If you write adb shell wm size, it will tell you the physical resolution and the resolution you are rescaling at. I did that and I found that the physical resolution is 1440x2720, which means that, in order to maintain every pixel active, you need to take in count those 160 extra pixels. So the actual correct resolution for 1080p is 1080x2040. If someone has the same problem, I hope that this solution helps him/her

my ./adb shell wm size shown 1440x2560
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!
I've looked all over the web but I can't seem to find a way to change the screen size of Android TV without magisk, my screen is too stretched and I already tried my normal TV settings, no luck. Is there any other way for me to do so?

Resolution changing
connect your phone with pc and start adb prompt in CMD
type:
adb shell
then you can do is :
to change the resolution:
=========================
type:
wm size *your preferred resolution from the list
like:
wm size 720x1560
*here put small letter 'x' in between the resolution
to change the dpi:
==================
type:
wm density *your preffred dpi from the list
like:
wm density 269
*REBOOT phone
example:
==========
wm size 1080x2340
wm density 420
*RBOOT phone
list:
=======
Defaultu Resolution: 1080x2340 at 420 dpi
step down 1: 960x2080 (*add your desired dpi)
step down 2: 864x1872 (*add your desired dpi)
step down 3: 768x1664 (*add your desired dpi)
step down 4: 720x1560 at 269 dpi
