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?

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.

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.
Help us resolving the screen resolution fragmentation on devices!
And mods, please, help the post with a good language correction XD
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.

It's hard to take a video without a camera, but to give youman example, on 500x800 asphalt 7 give me 60fps on the shangai track, with my 800x1280 default resolution, I have 20fps aprox with a lot of fluctutations, it's a great app, and with GMD hide buttons, is almost perfect.

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...

ok thx i have tried to set it to 360x640 on the free version.. but nothing happens.. it just say "Display scaler free has been granted root superuser permissions" and nothing happens
Mh, maybe this is a device specific issue, have you posted a review or sended the autor an feedback email about it?

Hey I bought the app and it works fine i tried most of the resolutions and even a custom one but it seems that no resolution lower than my physical one will go full screen i always get black borders do you get this too?
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?

I don't know, I suppose, android mao this keys as a touchscreen surface or something like that, the most easybway is using gmd hide softkeys and with it, trigger a softkeys quick navbar and play with this, I am using Paranoidandroid right now and with the pie controls I fix all my problems, and on smanager I created 2 scripts to execute the commands to change resolution, one for the 500x800 for gaming and the other to 1280x800, the default resolution of the nexus 7.
Try it and leave me a comment with your experience.

Thanls for your reply.i have mtk quad core 6589T 1.5 ghz device with powervr 544MP1 and 1 gb ram . My screen is 1080p. i think gpu cant handle this resolution sometimes occur wierd lag and some highend games cant playable.After change resolution to 720p and 320 dpi everything perfect games performance increase %80-100 even memory consumption decreasing.(100mb).i am using with pie control but i want to using continiusly 720p i think after change resulotion touch key coordinates change over screen size.if i found that responsible cfg file or something maybe i can handle this.i am still searching..

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
Hi,
what is optimal DPI in your opinion, for the OP7 Pro?
And how does variable screen resolution affect DPI set in settings? Times used to be easier when display resollution was fixed at 1080p. Do one needs to disable this autochanges in settings to keep table image size?
I used to have either 390 or 400 DPI set virtually all the time on my Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5 and Oneplus 6T... But with this unnecessarily high resolution that is, absurdly, used only sometimes, I would like to hear your experiences.
Thanks
In OOS, I use the "Small" setting in display which comes to 470dpi
In AOSP, it is probably pretty similar. I basically move the slider in display down one notch. I am not currently on AOSP so I'm not positive what that setting is or the actual dpi value.
What are the odds you think we will have someone find a way to mod the device to run at full resolution and 120hz or at least 90/96hz at full resolution? I don't know if Samsung will ever allow some version of the high refresh rate on the device. We see that the SD version is capable of the feature. Exxynos as well, but battery may suffer more. I will get the phone regardless, but wouldn't mind knowing that someone out there would have a workaround. Haven't seen one for the s20 ultra yet. I do know about the single MIPI lane in the device..etc, but figured there may still have been some software way of enabling a slightly higher refresh rate if not all the way to 120hz.
I don’t believe the panels are capable
I don't think the limit is with the panel itself but driver/interface bandwidth.
But I'm sure there will be many discussions on ways to turn it on just like the S20Ultra!
Personally, I'm OK with a lower res @120Hz. There's only one app I use where I can actually see the difference @QHD and the overall fluid feel @120 everywhere to me is worth it. Not to mention the battery life hit.
Eventually, it will arrive. I'd say we're lucky to have it.

That is kind of my thought too. I run 120 on my S20 Ultra and have always really wondered if I could tell the difference between full HD+ and QHD. Personally I don't think I can tell the difference.

One thing I think everyone would notice. Lower SOT!
I've never tried running at HD+ 60Hz to see though. Battery life is pretty good at 120Hz.

Don't get me wrong, the phone is a beast and I do appreciate them adding it, but much like a lot of ppl online, I just wish it's that one little thing they would have done. Did you see the video below? Apparently snapdragon is capable, but Exxynos may be the culprit from us all getting the feature due to battery life? I only notice the extremely slight difference between the Full HD and WQHD and that's on text. Pics and videos all look the same to me. I don't mind FHD at all though
Here it is:-
https://youtu.be/xIl4h8R9to8
It would have been better to be capable of adjusting the resolution on the fly seamlessly without restarting the whole UI.
Coupled with Bixby Routine, we would be able to tune it for it to display higher resolution only when needed, per apps like games, camera and gallery.
Although i think i found somewhere on YouTube a test about resolution and SOT, which resulted that lowering the resolution doesn't do anything to increase the SOT.
There is a yt video (sakitech) showing how to set a bixby routine to keep phone at fhd+ 120hz all the time but to get changed to 4k (well 1440p afterall) upon opening any app you want (like yt). Watched the video, did the routine... not working. With yt opened i can see the Bixby routine notification on...but nothing happens. Yt will not offer me any res above 1080p to chose from. Any ideas?

Set adaptive smoothness at fhd+.
Install settings database editor from play store and follow instructions to grant app write secure settings permission.
In the app, select Global Table in the dropdown and find the "display_size_forced" line. Edit the value to "1440,3088". Then select Secure Table, find"defsult_display_size_forced" and set it to "1440,3088". Lastly, find "default_display_density_forced" and "display_density_forced" and set both to "600".
How the battery life after this?

This works, thank you. However, some software, for example, wallpapers 4k still identify the screen as FHD+. If I manually change to WQHD 60hz then the same software will identify the screen correctly (WQHD). Some other software, for example, AIDA64, will identify it correctly (WQHD 120hz).
Also, in this mode it seems that the screen does not have the same sharpness as with WQHD 60Hz. So still something to play around with. It says WQHD but it looks like FHD+. If I switch to WQHD 60hz I can see the screen sharpness is better.
Also, if we switch to FHD+ or turn on medium power saving mode, the values will reset so we need to do it again manually.

It works without root.
Install the software.
After that install adb on your computer: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ and follow all the instructions in the article. At the end you will end up executing adb devices command and it will say that your device is connected
After that type this command: adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and press Enter
It will grant the required permissions.
Unplug the cable, open the app and amend it as per the post above. It will amend the settings fine.
This feature is very nice to have but to be honest, I personally still prefer FHD+ 120hz to be on safe side - we don't know if WQHD 120hz will damage the screen or cause some other issues over time.

OK I figured it needed permissions, thanks for clarifying this.
Now, we see indeed the screen is running at WQHD AND refreshing at 120Hz. HOWEVER, with sharpness degraded we can presume this is a hardware limitation and chroma subsampling is being used. 4:4:4 at 120Hz is going to require video bandwidth in excess of what the hardware can deliver. 4:2:2 or even 4:2:0 is used which will support that many pixels and refresh rate but at significantly degraded image quality which is immediately noticeable when reading text.

I did it.
Set adaptive smoothness at fhd+.
Install settings database editor from play store and follow instructions to grant app write secure settings permission.
In the app, select Global Table in the dropdown and find the "display_size_forced" line. Edit the value to "1440,3088". Then select Secure Table, find"defsult_display_size_forced" and set it to "1440,3088". Lastly, find "default_display_density_forced" and "display_density_forced" and set both to "600".

It is just cosmetic, Not really WQHD+ @ 120hz
What your last (3rd) screenshot showing is cosmetic. Device running 120hz but showing WQHD+ is not real.
How to confirm it is really FHD+ or WQHD+ ?
1.Font size is obvious, you won't see any difference by method you shown, in real WQHD+ font size reduces.
2.Take screenshot and open in paint shop or similar that showing size in pixel, it will show 1080x2316 and not 1440x3088 in case you capture in WQHD+
3.Install any app that shows info e.g. ScreenInfo from play store and it will show screen size as per FHD+ and not WQHD+
So with this setup, you are only running FHD+ @120Hz nothing else. If anyone seeing difference from FHD+ @ 120 hz is likely a placebo.

yes, you are correct. I realized it's a placebo.
screen checker apps also reports fhd+.
so those who are reading, don't waste your time anymore to try this.
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!
