This app for Changing screen resolution and DPI.
For example I change resolution and dpi in my HTC HD mini to play games.
Sources available.
Version 2:
Manual:
1) Copy "csrd.exe", "injection.dll" to root dir "\"
2) Create text file "pr.txt" in root dir "\"
3) Fill pr.txt with pattern, described below.
4) Run csrd.exe
5) For unload dll and stop csrd run unload.exe (in any dir)
Pattern:
Code:
<width>
<height>
<dpi>
<process name or path>
Example:
Code:
320
480
128
.exe
240
320
96
ppc.exe
100
100
196
calc.exe
First record is resolution for other processes (that not described below).
Process with name ppc.exe will work with 240x320x96 resolution.
Process with name calc.exe will work with 100x100x196 resolution.
Other process will work with 320x480x128 resolution.

If it works on Hd mini maybe you should post it in the Hd mini thread too
How does it work? I run it, change resolution, but i don't see any changes.
Try new version.
Put injection.dll and CSRD.exe to 1 folder. Then run CSRD.exe, change resolution and click "Apply".
Good work.
Look like wvgafix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974

Thank you This one works. In your first post you said "For example I change resolution and dpi in my HTC HD mini to play games". So what resolution and dpi exactly do you set? For which games do you use it?

I set:
X 240
Y 320
DPI 96
So far I have only used "Orions Legend of Wizards".
In theory, with this program any game should run normally for that resolution and dpi.
Shayder think you can make this app support cmd functions (so we can make the switch silently... useful to use with MortScript)?
Also as an idea would it be possible to make a certain app run inside a window which size is that of the required screen resolution (wrapping the running app...)? The idea seems possible (vijay555 aparantly did something similar...). This way only the selected app has it's "resolution" changed not affecting the rest of the system (which tends to cause gfx issues)
with a command prompt version i can prob it on my alpine nve-300p navigation system tool. this run with windows ce 5 and igo
so does this mean that if i use this on my wvga device, i can play games that are made for qvga in full screen?
Sources...
But this program change the resolution only when you play a game or change everything? Can I have a guide to install the program?
1)This app change global resolution and DPI.
2) just run "csrd.exe"
Just a stupid question, can this program "emulate" a vga resolution on a qvga device? Thanks for your work and for the sources.
Excellent, thank you.
Thank you for the app SHAYDER.
Just to confirm how this program should operate. You set the screen res and DPI that you want it set to and hit apply. After that, only that portion of the screen will be used?
For example, changing it to [email protected] will use only small section of a WVGA screen (top left)?
It will not allow you to run a 240x320 game at 480x640 or 480x800, correct?
The game you wanted to use, will it only run if it detects a QVGA screen? Is that why you needed to force a new resolution?

Yes. This is the first and the only one reason.
This app just simulate resolution and dpi.
Excellent, thank you.
WOW.... this is what i'm looking for...
Sadly, it's not for smartphone (non-touchscreen)....
i cannot change the number......
Would you create for smartphone????
New version available. Look 1st post.
works great!!!!
i have try it in some apps and it's work... i will test it in some other apps and i will give you the review....

Hi All,
I currently own a viewsonic vpad 10s tablet. It's currently on 1024x600.. is it possible to have a software hack or other to change the resolution to 1280x like the xoom?
The short answer is no.
The longer answer is...kind of.

OK, and now the even longer answer.
There is no way to increase the resolution to 1280 x 800. Our display is an AU OPTRONICS B101AW06. Look it up on the net & you'll find max resolution is 1024 x 600. What BK553 is speaking about is a change in text DPI. You can see this in Windows where you can change the DPI. Manufacturers normally set the DPI to give the user the best readability but not necessarily the highest DPI. If you change the DPI, text & icons will become smaller (or larger depending on if you increase or decrease the DPI). To see what effect LCDDensity Changer may have, see the attached picture. Icons are smaller & text is smaller, giving the illusion of higher resolution. Notice how the backbround is the same while the text & icons are smaller.
Again, you can not change the resolution...videos, pictures etc will always displayed at a max resolution of 1024 x 600.
By the way, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864338&highlight=lcd and you will see that atleast in Dec 2010 there used to be a field in build.prop that you could change to change the DPI. I looked for it in mine (I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn Combo v6) and that field no longer appears.

I use blade and spare parts to tweak the dpi. don't think you can get up to 1280 with any software though.
Can someone in the states try installing the nest thermostat app on their streak
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nestlabs.android
I can't download it in the U.K. I have tried market enabler and other tricks but I am wondering if it is just the Streak's resolution that is stopping it. There is a review saying it works on the note, so I'm hopeful.
If anyone wants to send me the apk it would most appreciated
Thanks,
Mark
**** Ignore this, found a way of downloading the app and it doesn't support the streak's resolution :-( ******
What do you have the dpi of your Streak set to?

No idea, just the standard resolution.
From Nest
To use the Nest Mobile app for Android, you’ll need:
An Internet-connected Android smartphone (Android 2.2 “Froyo” or later required) with one of the following screen widths:
520 pixels on a HIGH density device.
480 pixels on a HIGH density device.
360 pixels on a MEDIUM density device.
320 pixels on a MEDIUM density device.
270 pixels on a LOW density device.
240 pixels on a LOW density device.
working on GS3
hmmmm, under the impression the GS3 is 720 pixel width, yet the app opens on my device.
just checked their site, same android requirements, and they also mention it should show a popup window if it doesn't meet the requirements.
However, I never got the popup window, so it works with 720?
Looking into Nest, just sent them an email questioning just these items.
Well according to the market, my S5 at 240 dpi is compatable.
The S5 is a standard WVGA (480x800) device, and nearly all devices of it's age are the same thing.
STEP 1 : install resolution changer pro on any h2os rom from play store (kinmaricans i preffer).
STEP 2 : First do not enable it just put height = 1440 and width = 2560 and then density to 538.
STEP 3 : ENABLE IT. ENJOY
Can't it be in oxygen or any other cm based custom rom
You can't change your phone's screen resolution ahahaha that depends on the hardware. That app is just changing your DPI to change the size of UI elements.
If you could change your phone screen resolution with a simple app, why would any OEM make phones with 4k screens?
The OP2 was, is, and will always remain 1920x1080. You can always change the DPI to get smaller icons or whatever (I prefer 380, stock is 480). More the DPI, bigger your UI elements.

That is just absolute nonsense, sorry to say that. You just make the device believe to have a 2k display, which means the GPU will have to push even more "virtual" pixels, while everything is just "downscaled". You won't get any benefits from that, in contrary you will just introduce more cluster****, by letting it run on a virtual resolution instead of it's native.
There's a reason why people with 2K phones set the virtual resolution down to 1080p, so that the GPU doesn't have to work as hard.
How this differ from changing dpi, it comes to my mind that oos doesn't like changing dp

I have just bought 10.8 version and I like it, but was really surprised to find out there is no way to change resolution like for example in this video (I am not allowed to post links, but you can search it on youtube under the name: How to Change Screen Resolution in HUAWEI P20)
Is that a bug of some kind and we may hope that this feature will be introduced in some later EMUI updates?
With developer options enabled you can set a custom DPI, effectively changing your resolution
This method doesn't actually change resolution, just the size of the icons, text etc. You can try and check it yourself with some app like CPU-Z for example.
The only option I found is using ADB commands like "wm size 1200x1920" and "wm density 209". This does truly change resolution and sets appropriate DPI for this resolution at 10.8 display size. Needless to say that this method is cumbersome and besides that DPI value has to be reapplied after each reboot, otherwise it resets and homescreen looks messed up.
But yes, when set correctly to 1200x1920 and 209 DPI it looks good and what's more important games run a lot faster.
So why would Huawei remove the option (which is already present in EMUI 8) to easily change resolution specifically for our device is beyond my understanding.
And here is reply from Huawei support:
Thank you for contacting Huawei. We widely appreciate your preference and we thank you for your email.
Regarding to what you kindly shared to us, we appreciate that you point out this issue, we kindly inform you that your screen resolution is unable to be modified unless it is done through a third party application. Due to this, we have forwarded your request to our Research and Development department. Receiving your feedback and inquiries means a lot to our company, since our only way to improve is through acknowledging our customer's experiences.
Yeah it doesn't change the resolution but your command shouldn't either because the same amount of pixels is used. Changing the resolution is basically only possible with amoleds (which we don't have) because single pixels can be disabled.
So that's probably the reason why the huawei p20 has it and we don't. As for what you are doing it should be the same as changing dpi. Grouping small physical pixels to one bigger virtual pixel, decreasing the amount of different content the tablet has to render and therefor making the tablet run faster.
I was able to set my screen res to something else using a third party app on my note 2 (amoled) but not anymore on the LG g5 (ips LCD)
Hope what I'm trying to say is understandable.

Hehe, my honest answer is not quite. But I would appreciate if you could tell me which DPI should I set in Developer Options to get the same effect as I am getting with "wm size 1200x1920" and "wm density 209" in terms of speed gain and homescreen look (not distorted or messed up, etc).
Edit: Tried changing DPI only without changing resolution today. Result: no speed gain in any games I played.

It required root access (I'm using magisk). But author said that it just need adb access for those don't have root. Works brilliantlu on my M5 8.4.

I created 2 profile. One for casting to TV , other for lower resolution.

As far as I undertand to avoid distortion for your 8.4in it should be something like 1920x1200 and 270 DPI.
Though again, as far as I understood, you can play with DPI as much as you like, it doesn't influence game speed or battery drain like resolution does.

Thanks, I am going to check out this app. The problem is that I don't want to root my M5 in order not to void the warranty. So going to try the ADB way and hope permissions will not reset after reboot.

After you've lowered your resolution from stock 2560x1600, do you find better battery life?
EDIT: Also if I want to change it back to normal, do I jsut change the resolution back to 2560x1600 and 359 dpi?

I have not been using this tablet long enough to notice major difference in battery drain from changing resolution. I was mostly interested in speed gain in games. But from the fact that there is an option in Settings menu to automatically lower resolution to save battery, I conclude that there must me some (albeit a small) advantage in overall power consumption when using lower resolution.
And yes, to get back your native resolution and DPI, I guess you can either use ADB commands "wm size reset" and "wm density reset", or just set 2560x1600 if you are doing it through an app. As for DPI, it depends on which display settings you use in the Settings menu (large, small, etc.) but the default (factory) one seems to be 480. All this Resolution-DPI stuff seems to be very confusing as for me.

Thanks! I was unaware you could reset it like that!
Hello, I installed android x86 on an old laptop to run a game. Everything is working correctly and no issues so far. Now I’m trying to run one app that only works in cellphone resolution (720x1280). Tried to change resolution with apps from playstore, resolution changed but app stoped. Tried to change resolution with terminal ( wm size 720x1280 ), resolution changed but app still stops. Then i finally remembered to edit build.prop and added (debug.drm.mode.force=720x1280) to build.prop and the app started to work, but now the resolution doesn’t fit in display, causing the image to flip and stretch in screen. Now that I’m sure that it’s a resolution problem to use the app, is there any alternatives to display things proportionally on screen without flipping all the system and apps?
Thanks and sorry for the big text
