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?

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

And which rom is the best for the highest FPS, and is it stable??
Help would be appreciated
Anyone know??
using Vegan 5.1 Beta and did the FrameRate Tweak in Developers Section of G Tablet and I get Around 78 fps. Changes Refresh rates. Go look there. It works on Tnt Light too i Belive.

I have Tnt stock with the performance pack. I did have a app that said developer
tools. Would that have been the app I needed?
If that is the app I needed, is there any way to reinstall it???

not an app but its a change in the system folder to raise refresh rates from 50 to 60 or 70. look around g tablet developers section. should be on first page listed as possible increase in frame rate. also when doing make shure to make a backup just in case.

So the refresh rate also changes the FPS???
According to evrey single Benchmark test ive done, yes. it also makes screen look a little better but not by much. Its a small improvment that might be put into later Tnt Light builds.

nice!
by why was your screen not that responsive in the first place?
if you use the ondemand governor, and set the sampling rate to 15000 and up threshold to 98, ui gets a speed boost.

So I'm considering getting the Skyrocket and I currently have an Atrix but I'm worried about the screen resolution on the Skyrocket since it's 800X480. Will this make a big difference coming from Atrix (540X960)? I also heard about screen burn in on the Skyrocket, how true is this?
Everything is pretty big, i used to hate it but i got used to the resolution and now its fine. you can always change it too. 180-200 looks really nice.
And i don't notice any burn in, but when my whole screen turns black i notice faint marks... they aren't really a problem and it has never affected me when the screen is showing something.

I hate it when everything is big and takes up half the screen. I don't have this problem with the Atrix and this is the only thing that's preventing me from getting the Skyrocket.

If you Google "sgs2 screen burn in" or "super amoled plus burn in" you will that a lot of people have this problem. The only reason why I'm asking is because one of my friends said they degrade very quickly over short period of time.

Oh, well if you hate the atrix, nevermind. No the rocket does not overheat. Most of the time I run it underclocked, though. But when I run games and stuff I am usually OC to over 1700mhz. I run more for battery life than intensive games most of the time. It gets warm if you're running the charger and playing games or running gps.

I guess I should mention the "screen lines" issue. If you turn the brightness way down some have vertical lines. Some have it worse than others. Mine is very faint.
There's not much I dislike about it. I am patiently waiting for A final build of AOKP, CM9. We have very good dev support, not as much as the international gs2, but I am pleased with our forum.
Some can't seem to get very good battery life, but I run 24 hours+ no problem with over 5 hours screen on time. This all comes down to your ability to tweak custom kernels and how you let apps run.
GPS is good, bluetooth could be better but I don't use it, speaker phone is good, battery is great for me, music playback apparently doesn't cut for "audiophiles" but I'm perfectly happy with it. Thats all I got for now
I must not be thinking of the same "screen burn in" I've had my skyrocket since release and its always had the artifacts when the screen is totally black. There not that noticeable. I haven't noticed any burn in though.

190 didn't work too well, couldn't see half my apps. 200 is awesome though, exactly what I wanted the phone to look like. The huge icons really bothered me. However, Play Store, gmail, both load just fine without any issues. Do I even need to do any market fix?

Hey guys, I have tried to stay away from changing the dpi on my devices because I have heard of crappy issues with it, I tried out SlimLP (note its unofficial for my device) for the first time on my galaxy tab 2 10.1 and I noticed under the settings I was able to change my dpi (must be a slimrom thing) its default was at 160 and I bumped it to 200 which made everything a little larger, I bumped it down to 180 and had a happy size for me, is there any downsides to changing the dpi? As in, battery life issues, display issues, performence issues, will I brick it The future?

Hi, regarding battery life, no worries. I do DPI downsize on my S4 since 3 years without any issue.
However your hardware has limit. Better to look around the web to know how far some user did some experimentations.
But in any case, I recommend to get any nandroid backup before changing any DPI value, or don't be afraid about reinstalling the rom again.

Thanks for the reply, Good stuff to know! reason why i asked is because it just looked so professional on how it was added in and how easy it is to change it, im going to make a backup but i think i will be fine with bumping it up a tiny bit ( i tried googling the original Dpi of the tab 2 10.1 and i couldnt find any information :silly Would changing from the default 160 dpi to what i have it on now (180 dpi) be a drastic change?

Hello everyone.....
I've some question, why my LG V20 not work really well sometimes lagging.
I've try the performance with dolphin emulator and its wierd fps sometimes drop dunno what happened,
I see someone using different phone with spesification lower than v20 with same version of app n setting it run really smooth n good,
What should I do?
Should I change the rom ?
Sorry for my bad english :crying:
If the performance is lagging and you really can't figure out why, try a full factory reset. It massively improved the overall performance of my V20 after it began to lag.
You rooted or what?

Why does rooting reduce performance ?
You may have RCTD running in the background. RCTD is LG's root checking service that runs rampant once you are rooted, causing a decrease in performance.

So are you only having problems with this specific app or is your phone lagging overall in general when you are using it. Emulators in general are very prone to performance issues especially on certain devices. Even flagships. Have you tried different settings in dolphin to see or are you just using the default settings that came with it after you installed it?

Also have you checked game battery saver settings under the batter options?
