Here is a little tutorial I have put together for the upcoming Motorola Moto X Style (Pure Edition). The new Moto X comes with a Q-HD display. Though a higher resolution might be nice it does use more battery as well. With this simple guide you can force the GPU to render the OS and everything in it, in 1080p instead of Q-HD. The display will still be Q-HD but everything on the phone, including the full Android OS, will be displayed in 1080p. This will increase S.O.T and battery life noticeably.
Prerequisites:
1) A rooted device running stock/stock based ROM.
Step 1:
Install the Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store. Download from HERE

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4:
After that, type:
Code:
wm density 420
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 5:
Finally to re-render all the un-changed drawables and pre-loaded system components type:
Code:
stop && start
Your phone will now reboot.

My point exactly...If you go the the Google developer stats website you can see on 4.7% of apps on Google Play take advantage of QHD. Also almost 89% of youtube videos are max 1080p. Knowing this I put together this guide. So at least Q-HD won't drain my battery.
Interesting to see if it makes a diference. So, could this be made also to work on a 1080P display and lower it to 720p you know to save even more battery???

If this phone comes out as scheduled or somewhere near that and I buy one, I'm going to avoid any tweaks or hacks for a while but I appreciate your info. Thanks for posting it.
This might just end up being a big battery saver.

This could be awesome or a complete fail. I know with other phones I have tried this on some stock apps like camera completely stop working and a lot of the FYI isn't working. However I didn't do this exactly so it may have been the wrong ethod. I'm excited to hear results. ☺
Can't you just paste this into the terminal in one take?

Currently I have the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A) AT&T variant, but I'm running an International ROM. I would definitely like to try it and be a ginnie pig. But more than likely I would do it at the end of this week since I have a 4-day weekend coming up, giving me plenty of time in case things go bananas and have to revert back to stock. But please do let me know what the steps are for my current phone.
Would this really make a huge impact on the battery life?
I'm curious to know, does the screen actually not turn on each pixel with these options? From what I understand, with LCD screens it's either all or nothing.
If I'm correct about the all or nothing this trick would lower the batter consumption by a bit, but not much. The only thing it would do is lower the tax on the CPU.
From my understanding it will have to render less pixels therefore less power consumption as the GPU will not have to work as hard
If LCD's on cell phones work the same as on computer screens, then this will not have any affect but to change how things look on the screen. The same number of pixels will still be activated. Only some will do double duty. If you can, go ahead and lower the resolution on your computer screen and things will look larger but all the pixels are still being used. I cannot imagine this will have much, if any effect on battery life. Maybe I'm wrong??

People did this on the LG G3 and their battery life had a massive jump in SOT. Not sure how it works but it is worth trying for sure. Of anything it will make the phone faster because it isn't pushing so many pixels. Only time will tell use the phone normal for a week to let the battery set in and get a good idea. Then drop it and compare. If it is the same you have yoru answer, if it does what the G3 did and almost doubles the SOT then we will have a party.

The G3 never saw massive battery life jumps. All lowering the resolution did was boost the performance. There was a slight increase in battery life due to lower strain on the CPU/GPU, but that was it. The only way this style of mod would help battery life would be on an OLED screen and it would have to actually turn off some pixels instead of duplicating them.
If you want better battery life from the screen resolution you would have to turn your device into a frankenphone by taking a lower resolution screen from something else, which is essentially impossible at this time.

even so, not pushing that many pixels on the CPU/GPU may make a pretty noticeable difference. For those who do not mind a fuzzier screen it could be a good solution. I still think it would be worth testing but we will have to come across that bridge when the phones are here. Who knows, maybe it wont be bad to begin with
Would not like 1080p stretched out over a Qhd screen. Too fuzzy for my liking. Always stick to native resolution on amoled/lcd.
Hi guys , I got honor 8 a few days ago .
While this CPU is crazy fast in opening apps , I noticed that scrolling is not buttery smooth allways .
Even my old nexus 5 that is way slower in some cases has better scrolling , is there any way to improve this ?
I m on android 6.0 and stock , performance mode turned on . Thanks..
With scrolling i just notice today i went outside (-20 C) And the screen is so trippy i dont know how to explain it
Yeah feels a little wierd to me also
You can turn gloves mode on mybe that helps .
When you say the scrolling isn't smooth are you saying it's laggy. As that coukd be due to the amount of apps you have opened in the background.
I would not call it laggy , it only could be a little smoother sometimes . Well I usually have 4-5 apps open .. 4GB ram
You can try L Speed and see if it does anything needs root
Smooth
As for me the scrolling is quite smooth
Mybe I m just spoiled coming from non-stock nexus
I've noticed I appears to be a little blurred when scrolling

I would called it stuttering or display hiccups more prominent in some applications. The EMUI's user interface is not affected just apps. In Nougat this problem is less noticeable.
This stuttering reminds of my Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 4 with Jellybean and KitKat.
The Honor 8 is no where as smooth as my Oneplus One and that's sad. Hopefully Huawei will make this better in future updates. It's still a new device with much potential.

This is probably a software issue that will probably be fixed in a future update.
You can try Nova Launcher where you can set the speed of scrolling. For me this launcher is very smooth and customizable.

No, it has nothing to do with EMUI. EMUI is buttery smooth and fast. It has to do with some applications using multiple graphics or thumbnails.

Not gone but improved. But battery life is worse. The stuttering was caused by cpu scaling so now more cpu power is used for it
It's very simple and you won't see any diference in display quality. Also the device won't be hot.
Download resolution changer from play store and set:
Width: 720
Height: 1280
DPI: 310
Reboot
If it's too bad for you,, than change:
Width: 1080
Height: 1920
DPI 460
The battery life and performance will be way better because the hardware use less power.
2560x1440: ~3.600.000 pixels
1920x1080: ~2.000.000 pixels
128px720: ~960.000 pixels
My battery life and performance is WAY better with 720p!
Camera will be bugged, install the latest snap camera (its paid, download from web. In the app thick '"advanced settings" and if you want slow motion, set video to 720p and turn HFR frame rate on. If you want 4k, thick "4k video support" and set video size to 3840x2160 )
If you still want more battery life:
0. Turn on battery saver
1. nstall N0G33K kernel
2. Install kernel toolkit and synapse
3. In kernel toolkit, set voltage: a53 -40000 a57 -30000 (after a reboot it will say 0, but do not change because it still 40000 and 30000)
Set swappiness to 0
4. In Synapse: power aware and HMP enable
If you dont listening music or something with screen off, you can disable all the wakelocks. I think you must enable SSP, SensorHub, and PowerManager to listen music, etc. with screen off.
If it is still bad for you, change a57 to 400-400mhz and a53 to 200-1500mhz
Or if you have to save very very much, change a53 to 200-200. Performance will be stil enough (i didn't believe it, i said wow.. still usable.)

Yes agree here also, be interesting to see how much battery life you actually get by posting your usage, these are a lot of changes, if performance is detrimental, which could possibly be by the look at the cpu scaling you've said. I'd rather avoid major lags and so on.
I dont see any lag, (or i think a little... at hard using with lot of multitask)
Here is the acerage usage
I tested idle screen on time. I was watching my homescreen for 6 mins and 30 secs when 61%->60%
While i wrote the pervius post
1%/3-5mins
Noble experoence v2 with tn stock..and it s port.
No powersaving no underclocking no nothing.no greenify

These are from yesterday..you dont need to do all of that to get good battery. Just use a good combo of rom and kernel

Maybe you're not sensitive to frame rate difference. To me it's much smoother! I've been spoiled lol. 60 FPS looks so choppy now ?
That's interesting, mine feels as smooth as it's ever been, not choppy at all on 60 hz. Oh well... Sorta disappointed that I didn't notice a difference lol
Within settings or your app drawer, just scroll up and down on 60hz and then do it on 90hz. You should instantly notice the difference in the refresh rate. [emoji848]

Yes this is definitely an easy way to show the difference. Website scrolling is also another area I notice it most. It's as noticable as watching a sports highlight in 60 FPS in YouTube vs not.

Scrolling anything; address book, website, mail list, etc. There is more to it than the refresh though and it isn't easy to separate everything out and see it on it's own. My daughter and son and law picked up a Tmo bogo on Note 10s over the holidays and we were comparing smoothness between mine and theirs and the Pix is no question smoother when sitting side by side and doing the same thing. We thought it was the refresh so I put it to 60 where presumably the better specced Note would show it's stuff but it didn't happen there either, the Pix is still smoother. As an aside I haven't been on a Samsung device since they screwed my over on my international Note 8 with the bootloader shenanigans and man, those whites are really, really, REALLY, blue. Loved the brightness though, gotta troll through Magisk and see about getting some boost action going on.
How do you set to stay on 90hz after update... Don't see developers settings no more
Another reason people might not notice the difference is between 90hz and 60hz is because of the apps they use. Not all apps are drawn at 90fps which in turns causes the display to render at 60hz as well. Google maps for example only does 60fps and thus you won't notice the benefit of the 90hz display. But UI element (such as scrolling through settings or app drawer) definitely highlights the 90hz refresh rate and should instantly be noticeable.

When developer options is enabled just use the search function up top. Type in 90hz and you should be able the find the setting to force 90hz.

Keep tapping build number and it will appear under system settings
I'm in the middle on this argument. I can clearly see the difference between 60 and 90 when scrolling. That being said I don't care about being able to read something while I'm scrolling... Lol
I have not really tested the difference in battery life with or without the smooth enabled but I'm not losing any sleep over no having it enabled. I guess if I had it forced for a while I'd prolly miss it more if I switched it off then.

Still there after my January update. If not, well that's interesting. Turn on smooth display then :good:
I was on the OnePlus 7 Pro before the 4 XL so I've been using 90Hz for a while now. I mention that because I feel the difference is more and more noticeable as time goes on. The longer you use 90, the more significant the difference is from 60.
That's been my experience at least. I have 90 force enabled as well. However, I use Tasker to disable 90 once my phone hits 40%.

Don't be lol. It's a blessing! :angel:
It's definitely noticeable in any app that supports the refresh rate and system UI. I can't go back to 60hz and same with my monitor at home it's 144hz and the difference between 60 is a day and night difference. Once you go high refresh rate you don't go back! As for battery life impact it's probably there but I don't care. With my usage and using cell data I can make it over a day without having to charge. Adaptive battery and optimizations really go a long way.

I've been pretty consistently getting about 6 hours SOT the first week with my normal routine/setup (Wi-Fi only, adaptive smoothness, rarely over 50% brightness) mainly using the inner screen. Not bad, I assume, for a device like this. With 96Hz so far it seems to be stretching that out close to 9.
What is the point in this since the inner screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz?
EDIT: Ah never mind, it is to prolong battery life, I see.
Btw for those of you who might want to test if this works, you can go to "https://www.displayhz.com/" and see it there. I recommend to use the Quick Tiles for toggling between 120Hz and 96Hz so that you can see it going into effect (in both ways).
It works perfectly
It saves battery without loss of quality
Thank you!

Thanks much, this app is better; nice to have the fps overlay toggle too.
The app above works 100%. Thank you for providing the link. Will be sure to use when I'm below a certain battery %.
Call me insane, but I can genuinely see the difference between 96hz and 120hz. Having used 144hz+ monitors to game for the better part of a decade, I guess I'm used to high refresh displays.
Brief update: I've uninstalled the app.
I noticed my battery life actually got significantly worse because I tend to run the phone at 120hz. Being on YouTube/twitch a lot, I typically don't need 120hz but the app forces 120hz rather than allowing it to drop to 30hz or 60hz when I'm watching content.
I hope there aren't any adverse affects.. actually - I'll likely just factory reset it and start fresh.

Battery life was worse at 96hz. Dies the app LOCK the display at 96hz or does it set max 96hz?

You guys should use the newer version which is made for the Note 20 Ultra, which sets the Refresh Rate to a variable instead of locking it, because that is the exact problem. I also used the first one to begin with, which locked the Refresh Rate at 96Hz instead of allowing it to be variable. If you use the one for the Note 20 Ultra (posted a page back) instead, you will see that it should work much better.

If you use the one for the Note 20 Ultra (posted a page back) instead, you will see that it should work much better.

I did use the one linked at the bottom of the first page, and didn't see any options for a variable refresh rate? Two quick setting options appear which allows me to toggle 120hz, 96hz, and 60hz, and the other setting is to see the current fps. And I recall when I open the app, there wasn't anything there apart from a bit of text? Kind of don't want to install it to avoid messing with settings since battery life is pretty important.
Edit: I see that the app does force 60hz after a certain amount of time (on its own volition). That being said, my battery life got significantly worse so I'll stick to stock for now.

It's just the stock system behavior.
96hz max mode just limit the ramping up of refresh rate to 96hz instead of 120hz. Your battery life being worse probably due to other factor/s.
I did like the 96HZ Mode...............It saved battery...and works on requirement
I found something interesting with this mod.
It works all good, you can set the max hz refresh rate to 96 and the behavior its the same as stock, it takes more or less the same time when the screen is idle to drop to 60, and the smoothness you loss from 120 to 96 its not much noticeable
I found something thay maybe is misworking
When you are on youtube (vanced app in this particular case) and you are seeing a 60fps clip, the stock refresh rate goes to 60hz like the video was at 30 or 24, but if you set the 96hz mode it never drops to 60
This could be a problem if you watch a lot of youtube at 60 fps and could affect somehow to battery life, which is the thing we are trying to improve
With other videos or apps i havent noticed any problem
Thanks

That's not what I'm experiencing. Using the Note 20 Ultra version, refresh rate drops to 60hz when watching videos in Vanced with 96hz maximum adaptive rate. I was going to post a screenshot but every time I touch the screen the refresh rate jumps back up (which is expected behavior).

Are they 60 fps videos? In case they are it has to be specified in the settings where you switch the resolution...
Other videos works perfect for me, even in Vanced
Btw, im using the last update of the app
Thanks
