I own a Z Ultra GPe stock unrooted 4.4.3 Android and I'm having some issues with apps/games not working due to compatibility for example:
1. Candy Crush won't install off the play store "says not compatible with your device" , I had to use Aptoide to install it
2. Themer application will install but when I browse themes, it says that my screen resolution is not supported
3. And so on and so forth ...
Question here is:
Is this specific to the GPe model or is the regular Xperia Z Ultra also facing these problems? Any way I can fix this?

Probably just GPe as it uses dpi of 400, where the Sony ZU uses a dpi of 320.
You could unlock and root and then change the dpi in /system/build.prop to 320

The Ultra (and 99.9% of other devices) are not supported by Themer.
The GPe runs at 400 DPI while the Xperia Ultra runs at 320. Just edit your build.prop in /system if you're rooted.

Xperia ultra has the same problem. For example with San Andreas, nba jam...

Hey there dev's and users...sorry to bother...
i've noticed that SE xperia mini,mini pro,active,live with walkman have the same cpu/gpu/ram as xperia arc/ray/play but they have lower screen res...
sooo....
if you use a game which is built for arc/ray/play it would run on the lower res devices but some buttons/options wouldn't be able to be used because of the screen resolution...
is there any way to fix the apk of the game so it could be used in the lower res devices?
because those games aren't available for our devices normally...

no games' resolution cant be changed but there is a way to change the screen density of your phone.Once i accidentally changed my screen density my phone was completely destroyed so i wouldnt suggest you to try it.If you want to though try googl-ing -> android screen density tool or somethin like that
Change the screen resolution dpi in build.prop. needs root. Apps on market will also do it for you

I'd really like to give Themer a go but it doesn't seem to support Xperia Z1 out of the box. I believe the problem is to do with the Softkeys, Themer assumes that the resolution is not compatible. The screen however is capable of 1920x1080 and I've got a custom ROM which allows me to switch off the Softkeys.
The problem is that Themer doesn't see this reflected on the resolution and still says that the resolution is not supported... Is there any way to bypass the validation and just allow me to try 1920x1080 themes?

Hi,
Unfortunately for now Themer only supports default settings. You could always try modifying your resolution to that of another phone, but we can't guarantee that this will work.
Replying on a post (by me) to the official Honor Facebook page, the admin says that they don't have plans for 320dpi roms right now
But the latest build lets you change the resolution per app. So why is this a problem?

Many apps aren't supported by 400 dpi (madfinger games for example)
and many keyboards that I use aren't compatible with the reduced mode (Like Swiftkey)
What a big miss

YouTube works fine for me on B011.

>Change Screen Resolution<
Introduction:
I'm going to write this guide to teach you how to change the Screen Resolution of your Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4 AOSP/CM Based ROM to improve the graphics performance of your Mi3 without stressing your CPU/GPU while playing games.
What you need to Download:
Resolution Changer by NoMone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_TXl1VcrLFoWB8QXozIGIBA
Root Browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ser&pcampaignid=APPU_1_oXl1VczIG4_s8AX7-YLQCQ
Note: Default Screen Resolution of Xiaomi Mi 3 is 1080x1920FHD @480 DPI, well what we are going to do is Change it into 720x1280HD @320 to improve performance. (Don't worry about getting the icons bigger, the reason why we have to reduce the DPI on the Build.prop is to avoid glitches and make the Icons and UI at the normal size when changing the resolution, because using the Resolution Changer alone will cause some glitches on other apps )
Steps:
1. Open Root Browser; and find /system/build.prop and open it using RB Text Editor.
2. Find ro.sf.lcd_density=480 and change it to 320.
3. Click Save.
4. Open Resolution Changer; Enter 720 Width, 1280 Height, 320 DPI
5. Click Apply and wait for it to change.
6. Click Yes to Confirm and Skip on the next dialog.
7. Now exit the app and Reboot.
After rebooting, you'll see that you've changed the Screen Resolution to FHD>HD. :good:
Congratulation, to prove it do an Antutu Benchmark test and you'll see the difference. :good:
Additional Info:
(OPTIONAL IF YOU'RE USING CUSTOM DPI ON FULL HD)
If you were using a custom DPI on FULL HD for example;
You're using 400 or 380 or 370 on 1080x1920FHD Resolution,
Do these to properly change resolution to avoid getting the UI or Icons Bigger than Normal.
Example;
If you are using 400DPI on 1080x1920FHD.
400÷3=133DPI
400-133=267DPI
so the right DPI that you're going to use would be; 267DPI on 720x1280HD PLEASE, DONT FORGET to CLICK THANKS!
Everything is working almost perfectly. Some icons are larger than they used to be. But that wasn't problem. Real problem is that SwiftKey keyboard didn't scale. So I had to revert back to Google original keyboard to reset resolution back to 1080p

Oh I forgot to write something about Swift Keyboard, Sorry since I used Google Keyboard. but aside from Swiftkey everything is fine :good:
I have done this years ago. Not only CM/AOSP but all rooted phones.
Thanks for putting some guide though. :good::fingers-crossed:

I wrote this guide for those who are confused and experiencing glitches when using the Resolution Changer alone and of course for the beginners
added additional info.
I just noticed. I used 294 DPI for 720x1280

Alright! ?
Initially tried this with MIUI v5, turned out to be very bad. The icons became very large and going to back to native resolution didn't help either. Fortunately I had nandroid backup.
Later I tried it on MIUI 6, it worked!
Some glitches are there:
- On recent apps screen
- camera effects selection screen
- Calender and clock icons turned invisible
- Minor glitches in clock app
Otherwise everything looks good, and performance bump is noticeable. Excited to find out how much it improves battery life.
Thanks for sharing.

No problem
that's why it's for CM/AOSP Based ROM but I'm glad that it worked for you though there are some glitches.

You can but, I won't recommend it because it would just stress out the processor and gpu of that low-end tablet, just leave that be.
Better use gl tools
While everyone gets larger icons,i am getting small icons,small screen,and all the app including resolution changer itself says the current settings is 1080x1920 with 320dpi.
Where am i doing it wrong?
I am on cm12 latest nightly.
same problem as Jongla here, running the same CM 12 nightlies. I guess the problem is that resolution changer doesnt change anything after you apply, current settings are kept as FHD res. Maybe try a different app to do it.

thanks buddy, this one works like a charm
cool trick..
It's become blurry, not clear like before
Guys, if you're using a CM rom, just install Xposed and install the App Setting module. Then, you just choose the app, turn on the custom settings, choose the resolution and dpi you want, and the app will run with those defenitions without having to mess with the entire UI on the device...
