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.

Click to expand...

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 everyone!
I'm triyng to improve my s6 Edge performance and hopefully also battery, decreasing the density of the screen trough adb. Commands I'm using are:
adb shell
wm size 1080x1920
wm density 480
But I think something is going wrong because when I have this resolution I can't manage to trigger the edge people on the right side, but only on the left side. I've also tried to change density but without results. Hope someone can help because GPU improvements are really remarkable as you can see here http://www.xda-developers.com/the-z5-premiums-resolution-is-not-always-4k-and-thats-a-good-thing/
no one can help me?
I just thought I would give everyone a warning about changing LCD density with "adb shell wm density XXX"
(only applies to us non-rooted users -- rooted users can edit build.prop on the fly)
If you change the density, and then decide to check out the other resolutions like 720p and 1080p, it will fully erase your set density and return to stock resolution, even if you change the resolution back to stock (WQHD)
I myself didnt know this. I thought it would keep the resolution and recalculate the density, or reduce / increase the density based on the difference between WQHD. This is not the case.
So for those who set a custom density, DONT CHANGE RESOLUTION!
DPI Settings for ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra [Android 6.0/Marshmallow]
I have just bought my new ZF3U and as with my previous Huawei P8 Max, which was of the same screen size, I went ahead to find the optimum DPI scaling for enabling Tablet Mode and wanted to share my findings with you. As always, use the following ADB commands to achieve the desired change [Remove brackets and simply replace the below number with your desired DPI and use the second code if you want to revert to your default factory DPI.] Rest assured I have tried all the possible DPI settings and depending on your taste and desired experience, the following DPI choices are the only ones worth trying UNLESS you don't like the Tablet Mode, which in that case don't try practicing any of the settings below or if you want objects bigger then simply increase the DPI until you are happy with your DPI scaling to make objects larger. Enjoy!
adb shell wm density [241] && adb reboot
adb shell wm density reset && adb reboot
DPI 217: Full Tablet Mode- Dual SIM Settings Menu inside Phone Settings and Stock Camera Functionality Lost
DPI 241: Medium Tablet Mode- Stock Camera Manual Mode Functionality Lost and Loss of Tablet Functionality for some Applications such as eBay.
DPI 264: Medium Tablet Mode- As DPI 241 but also shows full name of contacts on the ASUS Contacts application whereas other modes will not show complete Contact Name in Portrait mode.
DPI 289: Limited Tablet Mode-High/Near Stock Scaling of Items/Menus which may defeat the whole point of rescaling the UI DPI.
NOTE: On all the four DPI modes listed above, the Tablet mode is enabled on the ASUS Contacts application with the side menu as well as the tablet mode enabling on the phone settings menu.
Hi there! Just a bit surprised, because I also just bough ZF3U to replace faulted P8 Max
Thanks for your observation... Honestly, I like that it have higher density by default and this time I decided to stay with default DPI for now...
Question: what's exactly meant under "Stock Camera Functionality Lost"?
Does that mean it stopped working or something different?
Yes, it means at the lowest dpi the stock camera will not work at all and at 264 you lose the manual settings inside the camera app so the camera app will have limited functionality. I am hoping to revise these dpi tests when Android 7 is eventually released which I very much hope will be soon.
DPI Settings for ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra [Android 7.0/Nougat]
Hello everyone. Following the release of the latest Android 7.0 Firmware update [WW-14.1010.1703.42] for the ZF3Ultra which I have now installed on my 2nd ZF3U (1st one died following the initial faulty firmware which ASUS withdrew from release), I went ahead to find out once again (as I did with my previous Huawei P8 Max) the optimum DPI scaling for enabling Tablet Mode and wanted to share my findings with you. As always, use the following ADB commands to achieve the desired change [Remove brackets and simply replace the below number with your desired DPI and use the second code if you want to revert to your default factory DPI.] With Android 7.0 you can also scale the DPI using the Display option in setting but this will only change the dpi within the parameters that ASUS has specified and this will not enable full tablet mode. However, if you want to practice the dpi scaling on the go without any adb code then there is good news for Android 7.0 users. Under device settings-go to About-Software Information-tap on Build Number multiple times until the message pops up stating that your are now a developer, then go back to the main list of options and click on Developer options-then go all the way down on the list of developer options to heading Drawing-under that heading you will find Smallest width-click on it and change the number to 795 and this will give you the equivalent dpi of 217. OR if you want to try different DPIs then you can change the number accordingly. The higher the number, the smaller the UI objects will be, the lower the number, the bigger the UI objects will be.
Rest assured I have tried all the possible DPI settings and depending on your taste and desired experience, the following DPI scale of 217 is the only one worth trying UNLESS you don't like the Tablet Mode, in which case don't try practicing any of the settings below or if you want objects bigger then simply increase the DPI until you are happy with your DPI scaling to make objects larger.
adb shell wm density [217] && adb reboot
adb shell wm density reset && adb reboot
Observations:
DPI 217: (You can also find my findings on Android 6.0 DPI scaling for the ZF3U on my related post in the forum. In that post you will find details of my findings on additional dpi scales)
-The scale number of 217 will enable FULL Tablet mode on the ZF3U,
-All Tablet Mode compatible apps will be fully operational,
-Dual Sim Functionality will be fully operational (This did not work on Android 6.0 scaling),
-Google has removed the Tablet Mode side menu inside device options so no matter which dpi you use, the side menu is no longer there (It was available in Android 6.0) -I wish Google could bring back all the precious Tablet mode options previously available and even better would be to bring all the tablet UI features of the well respected Paranoid Android ROM (i.e bottom status bar, status bar pop-up options like Windows etc.... those of use who have been using it back in the days know what I am talking about),
-DISADVANTAGE: Stock Camera functionality is lost and the image does not display properly so if you love the dpi and can do without stock camera functionality then stick to this dpi and install a camera app of your choice (I am using Camera MX)-If anyone finds a fix to keep the stock camera operational at dpi scale of 217 without any issues then please do share your workaround.
Enjoy!
Thanks for this awesome tips! Im using Zenfone 3 ultra too and l been finding way to take full advantage of this screen size. This really helps a lot! ?
actually the dial pad, contacts and alarm dont work well with those settings. adjust to 540 or 579 smallest width.
