Hello guys,
As you know we are able to force 90hz for all apps. Not always it's a good idea because of :
- battery reason
- Google maps issues
- games which are not "high end" to avoid high battery usage (games like poker and so on does not need 90hz)
I wanted to ask some developers if they can create an application which can be configured themselve (black list for all apps which should not run in 90hz for example)
Thanks so.much (this would.be a reason to root if it requires root).
Put it on auto and let it manage itself or install gravitybox and you can change refresh rate from the quick-settings tile.

Really ?
If I root and use gravity box I can change it for every app?

Well, you need to swipe down your quick settings and click the refresh rate tile. So, it's not automated but at least it makes things easier.

No but JOnePlus Tool lets you just turn it on and off with a single button on the fly. Just open the app and it's on the main screen there.

I also use the forced 90hz all apps and the battery drain from this is seriously overblown. People scream about what they know nothing about. People need to educate themselves before making claims. They just say it kills battery without even trying it. I did nothing different, changed nothing and used my phone the same way I normally do and it made a difference of an increase of .7% battery drain with the screen on compared to 90hz on auto. It went from 6.3% drain pet hour to 7.0% per hour of screen on time. And since I've gotten days with 6.1% with it on forced 90hz all apps. So the difference isn't of and significance. Just try it and if you don't like it, switch it back. You'll find it makes no real difference when using it.
So there really should not be a need to blacklist 90hz all apps for just certain apps imo
Im sure someone could setup a tasker profile for this reason.

I did in 2 posts above that was linked, also its in the guides section.
I wish we could have possibility to decide to run some apps in 90hz and another in 60 hz.
For instance I wish KODI could run in 60hz.

here is my guide
If you need some help setting it up let me know. This will let u choose which apps use 60Hz and others will force 90Hz
Any possibility without buying tasker?
I switch to maps, display switched to 60, I turned off maps and display still remains 60. Didn't switch to 90.
Thats the way that should work? I need to manually switch to 90?

Not sure what your setup is exactly but if you're running the forced 90hz for all apps it is a bug that it shows as 60hz in the OOS setting under display. So if the tasker profile you are using switches from 90hz all apps and back to 60hz then your display setting will basically always show 60hz.
You can use this to test what your refresh rate is currently, either 60 or 90hz

I don't use forsed 90hz all apps.
Ones I shut off maps I need to manually switch display back to 90hz.
no issues with maps at 90hz here. Strange as some do.

So you want somebody to develop an app for your needs but won't pay for it?
I just found an app called Auto90. You can select which app you want to be auto/60 or 90hz. It's wonderful!

Eh. Not a great solution since that affects the entire phone experience. I don't want to manually adjust my phone brightness every time I go from indoors to out.
Any apps that can auto disable auto brightness when certain apps open? Maybe Tasker?
I made a simple auto brightness toggle in Tasker when camera app opens and added an exit task. Works OK when indoors, but sometimes you want auto brightness such as if you're outside. Not sure the best way around this.

Maybe edit your task to add a wifi variable? Like if you're not connected to wifi enable the rule, ie you're outside (usually) when not on wifi. And when you are on wifi inside don't trigger the rule, leaving you to adjust manually if desired.

Nice idea! I'll try that. I'll also try a brightness variable -- like if the brightness is above a certain value already, don't disable auto brightness.

Cool let us know if it works. Are you doing this with root or not? The reason I ask is I bought tasker last year but haven't rooted my S7, not sure if you can control certain things without root.

No root (for now). Enjoying Samsung Pay too much You can control a lot of stuff with Tasker without root -- almost anything you can already control in the settings app.

Has anyone figure method(s) to Force 120Hz display yet ? The dynamic refresh rate in both auto and 120Hz mode is now, the only thing on this phone bothers me so much.
EU rom (under display and brightness) has the option to choose : "Auto Select"; "120Hz" or "60Hz" in Screen Refresh Rate

That's true, however, OP points out the fact that even at "120 Hz" setting the phone does some sort of battery saving stuff like optimizing the refresh rate based on applications used, battery level etc.
Which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong - saving battery when the app (or user) don't benefit from 120 Hz setting is a pretty useful stuff. But then it should not be called "120 Hz" mode but rather "Light Adaptive mode" or something.
Btw Oneplus 8 Pro has even more aggressive approach to this, it literally switches to 60 Hz when you don't touch the screen, back to 120 Hz for two seconds when you touch the screen and then reverts to 60 Hz.
This is the reason why Oneplus 8 Pro is so good in all 120 Hz battery drain tests because, basically... it almost never runs it. This should not be called 120 Hz even though I fully appreciate the battery saving mechanism.
You can check here whether Oppo Find X2 Pro stays at 120 Hz (fps) or switches to 60 Hz right after you touch it like Oneplus: https://www.testufo.com

Thanks for clarifying my point. In addition, OnePlus's high refresh rate displays can be forced to run at the constant value via ADB method but I have no clue for an OPPO's. I don't understand that why OPPO provides both 120Hz and auto refresh rate options but perform exactly the same.

Try it on browser like Microsoft Edge or Chrome Dev. Those browsers are limited at 60Hz while I can force run my OnePlus 8's at 90Hz all time via ADB.

I try something via adb
adb shell settings list secure
And I found this
coloros_screen_refresh_rate=3
3 = 120hz
2=60hz
0=Auto
But I cant put any number because android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS not granted
Maybe, just maybe, if you can put it to another number ( like 1 or 4 ), you can force 120hz on Oppo Find X2/X2Pro

Tried this, was able to put both 1 and 4 and unfortunately, it's not forced at 120Hz. Now it's the dead end haha.

ps. 1 is fake 90Hz mode and I have no idea with 4 and beyond.
ps.2 you have to disable permission monitoring in dev options first in order to set those settings.

Sad that a 120hz phone only runs 120hz in a few apps, my Moto edge is 90hz in almost every app as I can see, Razer phone was 120hz in every app or you could force an app to run 120hz if it wasn't already, sad
If you want 120Hz in more apps you have to enable O1 Ultra Vision on 120Hz. 1080p only though.
That will make apps like IG smoother and YT in 120Hz.

Most apps are not optimized for running at 120hz yet, it's down to individual apps, when you set it to auto only the user interface and oppos apps run at 120 but all other apps run at 60, basically some apps do some apps don't , not oppos fault

The ultra vision only adds frames on to the video that your playing that's all, doesn't smooth out the actual app

That is not true. YT is normally only 60Hz to save battery for example. With O1 it has to be on 120Hz as the actual video is also interpolated to 120Hz. Try it out for your self.

Hi all, wondered if you could shed some light on this situation, I'm not sure if it's my device UK or a software issue. So when I select 120hz some apps are not silky smooth when scrolling like YouTube for example, it's not true 120hz it's as though it's on auto adjust, but it isn't, home screen and some apps are 120hz but some apps aren't is this a app issue or a phone issue? Has anyone else experienced this?
Not all applications support 120hz, Google Maps comes to mind, pretty sure that's capped at 60hz, I remember reading a article about YouTube not supporting 90hz on OnePlus devices, maybe the YouTube application is also called out at 60hz, I'd confidently say it's probably the app rather than the phone

Its app specific, some apps have no caps some do
I have this issue too.
It seems like whenever a video is playing in whatever app, it will switch to 60Hz.
In Reddit for example, scrolling is very laggy.
If your refresh rate mode is set to auto, ColorOS decides what refresh rate to run on based on a list found at /system/etc/refresh_rate_config.xml
If you set the refresh rate mode to 120Hz, though, it should run at that refresh rate in most apps.

Same here, is pretty annoying because takes away all the smoothness feeling, although sometimes it doesn't happen and keeps working at 120hz, so random... Just wondering did you find anyway to avoid this to happen?
Hi guys,
I noticed the the adaptive refresh rate is not always accurate:
Example 1: Open Google maps and then push down the top notification bar to expand Android setting. Push it up and down and you will see that the refresh rate is low when pushung it up and down. If you quit maps then it will switch back to normal.
Example 2: Use built-in screen recorder. It will force 60hz refresh rate whilst recording. I ended up disabling it and downloading a third party screen recorder so form Google play store and that one worked perfectly and with 120hz during screen recording.
Example 3: Do a WhatsApp video call and then minimize that video to background. The screen will turn to 60hz and will only switch back to 120hz when WhatsApp video call is ended.
In some apps, it might start with 60hz and lag when scrolling but then switch to 120hz and make it smooth.
This is really annoying. Is there a way to force 120hz per app or turn it on permanently? There should be settings somewhere that decide when to do it.

Thanks. Its sad if course, hopefully it will be fixed with future firmware updates or folks will find a way to customise it per app. It should have something stored in the phone that will tell it when to switch.
I think the LTPO2 is not working properly on eu rom currently im on last update 13.0.11 and i can see that the refresh rate is not going to 1fps in main menu or in settings, the frames going only low to 90fps in Facebook and i think this draining a lot of battery. Could you check on your phones how it is, go in developer settings and enable "show refresh rate" to see do you have this problem as well and if there is any solution for that, thanks

Adjust brightness.
Screen in FHD+ 60Hz
Minimum brightness: stay at 60
Brightness in the middle: goes to 30
Maximum brightness: goes to 10
With any other settings, the minimum reached is 10.
Surely a particular scenario is needed to reach 1.
You were going to 1 with the stock rom?
