is it possible to reduce screen resolution in android? so as to save power or play games more smoothly just like on a pc for example?
There's an app for Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7938982&postcount=1
will reducing resolution actually increase battery life or play games more smoothly or i am being wrong?
anyone? .........
thread up..........anyone?
As for battery no. The screen is still lighting up the same amount of pixels and same brightness etc... Gaming i doubt u will see a difference. Tell us if u find othwise tho. Hope that helped

Changing screen density isn't the same as changing resolution. Apps choose which icons to show depending on the "screen-density" value reported by the device. So higher density devices will have larger and more detailed icon graphics, etc.
As far as saving battery life, the screen typically uses most battery which varies slightly depending on the brightness setting. One root user found he could save battery by only showing red colours (requires changes to the display driver).
Shrinking the screen like in Note 3 will save energy...anybody found a way how to do this in other phones? application?

Use chainfire 3D.. You need to have rooted phone.. Search in Google.. You will get the xda thread link..

try look at [ro.sf.lcd_density] value at build prop ? im just playing with that
Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which i would like to change the Pixel Density of. It is rooted currently, but I just want to be able to read texts clearer and play my games and watch videos more sharp and crisp.. i know there are afew apps on the android market which can do this, but if i want clear/sharpness which is the recommended pixel density(240 is the default).
Also, i need something that will work perfectly on Galaxy S2, like, not make the widgets or icons or anything out of proportion...i want things to auto fit
It's in theory impossible since our display is 480 by 800.. If you want a better display sell your SGS2 and buy a Nexus
how is it impossible? there are apps which change the density...
cant i just use a custom home screen launcher?
have a look at hyperdroid. It is MDPI compatible
There is an app that magically creates more physical pixels on you screen? Wow how much is that and could it make my hdtv into a 3D tv too?.. Serious how do you think thats possible? If you want a better pixel density buy a phone with an hd screen because you definatly cannot change it...

Unless I misunderstood your question, there is no way on gods earth that you can create more pixels (ie higher density) than what there physically is.
The best you can do is to max out the screen brightness which gives the illusion of a better picture.

Of course you can change the density, just edit system/build.prop with rootexplorer..
Despite the smart answers above, I know what you mean, and love this app on my Asus TF-101

http://www.redmondpie.com/change-sc...android-device-with-lcd-resolution-root-only/
No need for that much complication, you just need to decrease the pixel value, well you can do that by editing build.prop or just use a simple app from market called LCD Resolution (Root).
But no, how on earth would you technically increase dpi while I9100 is given a 480x800 resolution hardware wise.
Wish that was possible and I could made my 1680x1050 monitor a HD one
why you would like do that ?
yes, i'm courious too, why?
I just downloaded Modern Combat 5 on my Tab S (10.5) and it looks terrible. It just doesn't seem optimized for the tab s. Very blurry/fuzzy looking. Anybody else have this problem?
it even look ugly in note 3...
Bad games are bad.
looks great on my tab s 8.4
The game resolution seems very low on my 8.4......either that or the screen makes the game look bad.
Sounds like a fatality to me. Badumpa.
This game could be like Photoshop on QHD screens, it just doesn'twork.
It is - as usual - looking brilliant only on a few devices, none of which is manufactured by samsung. It will - as usual, too - change until next versions are released. What you can do as for now...
1) decompile Modern Combat 5 apk file using apktool, edit /res/values/scaleprofile.json and set all the "value" keys varying from 85-50 to 100 or add your model symbol ("sm-t700" or "sm-t705") in "specific section" right after other models which are forced to use 100% resolution, recompile again (I cannot however say if recompiling apks is breaking or is not breaking gameloft's license... if it does then it will be illegal to do it, anyway!) - this will increase the resolution.
EDIT: indeed, the file can be edited and re-packed to apk without compiling at all, just using some archiver like winrar and opening apk file. However, after replacing the file you will need to re-sing the apk.
2) use GLTools and force mock Tegra 4 GPU - this will enable the highest quality setting.
Tested on Note Pro 12.2 LTE which is almost same hardware as TabS's LTE. After enabling both above tweaks game still run fine, but looks MUCH better.
I have the same problem with my tab pro 10.1 wifi. It seems the probelm is related to exynos chipset. Is there any possible woraround that doesnt require root?
can this tablet even handle playing at full resolution? I doubt it will run any faster than 30fps..

We sure hope so.....this game isn't really that gpu intensive, runs fine on my N5 in the proper resolution.
yeah , graphic looks like **** -_- i think i have to use gltool
The mc4 run fine and it looks better

They released an update but still no change. Apparently they added the option to change GFX setting on some devices but still not on the tab S.

>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.
Hi im using a a33 tab with screen dpi 160 and 480x800 resolution. Can I change this to higher resolution and dpi?

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...

This removes the software gfx rendering pathway I.e configured in libGLES_android.so and makes use of gives priority to hardware gfx rendering i.e the GPU u have in some cases software rendering is faster than hardware rendering but since I personally prefer hardware rendering I made this mod so others can use it to to avoid hassle. Simply flash and notice faster better animation in UI and gaming.

I don't see any point doing such experiment because you will not notice any latency issue on daily bases expect in high end FPS gaming... If your concerned about the rumours about our device latency I can assure you it'll be fixed with a firmware update idk why Xiaomi is lazy to provide us the fix already!

so how do we uninstall once we flashed it?
Even the magisk manager has a downloadable module called GPU turbo boost.. but nothing is happening.. it seems as if it has placebo effect.. just a waste of space.. so your app works differently??? Im currently having issues playing nba 2k18 after some time..
I simply wanted to play it smoothly... With gl tools.. iT says.. 30-50fps.. but never stable..
Having a touch issue and multitouch problem
Somebody says that it's a GPU program fault so that I got multitouch problem in pubg and other fps games.
So does this mod improve my touch issues completely?

No we will need to wait for a good custom kernel
What effect does this have on the battery. Will my battery drain faster?
That mod is amazing. Everything is so smooth now, unbelievable +.+

Anyone can tell if the keyboard lag typing problem is solved by using this mod?
Nothing happens on mine . I really want my touch screen issue to be fixed . Thanks anyway ts keep on sharing
