Settings > Screen > Zoom and font.
I think the Zoom slider in that screen sets the "resolution".

This is terribly wrong.
The slider just controls how big are the objectives on the display, not the actual resolution.
not build into stock S6 family. maybe some custom rom...
in custom roms ported from s8 and s7 you should have it yes
if you are rooted you can follow this guide to change resolution https://goo.gl/UKaif3
and this to change DPI https://goo.gl/2N9R89

Hey guys , I was wondering if it would be possible to bring the option "scren better" from H2OS for OOS.
I love the OPX AMOLED screen , but sometimes shows too saturated images , especially with reddish colors. Don´t you think?

The "LiveDisplay" in Settings -> Display & lights is the same thing, its only available on CM based ROMs though.

it's not exactly the same. the setting on H2OS is much more subtle. almost not noticeable. while LiveDisplay really changes the color temperature.
I miss that setting on my H2OS and that's why I flashed blue_spark kernel to change the colors.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to turn the 2k screen the V10 has into a 1080p in order to save battery life, and better performance?
Not at the moment, especially because of the 2nd Screen and changing DPI or Resolution forces FCs. Once we finally get the Nougat update we would be able to switch between 1080p and 1440p

im running on android nougat 7.0 dont have option to make it 1080p
@duraaraa any info or direction that you can provide on this?
I upped the resolution from stock 1080x2160 to 2160x4320 and left dpi at stock so I can have more screen real estate and still have a comfortable viewing experience. The issue I'm facing now is, I cannot capture a screenshot I get an error.
System UI
Couldn't Capture Screenshot
Screenshots are not allowed by this app or your organization.
steps to reproduce:
up your resolution to 2160x4320 and take a screenshot
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sorry, don't know. Probably issue related to rooting and the settings you changed.
Thanks for the quick reply but I'm not rooted.

Mate 10 pro panel is only 1080p to begin with,
In what way did you upped the resolution ?? The setting wont give you that resolution option.

no need for root or settings to change DPI or Resolution
adb shell wm size 2160x4320
adb shell wm overscan reset

uh... well... you already understand that this method is "only faking" the number for the app to think that it run on that size of screen right ? Hardware & stock OS wise, the limitation is still on 1080p
I dont think the system UI app of EMUI 8 itself was made to handle that number
Normal 4K itself is only 3840 x 2160, and i dont think i ever found any phone running 4K+ (18:9)
This is just like asking why sometimes the play store act weird when we change our DPI
So answer is that : because it simply didn't support it
I've done #wm size 720x1280 & wm density 320 to 720p screen for long battery life. and I found the system's screenshot can not take whole screen(720p one).
It looks like the screenshot component take a 480p screen and the same 720p adjusting on AEX 5.x is fine.
so I thought maybe the screenshot on pie still mistake 720p screen for 1080p screen and take a 480p picture（expect: 1080p x 720/1080 = 720p, but now: 1080p x 720/1080 x 720x1080 = 480p）
But I notice that keep wm size 1080x1920, whatever which density（320 480 240）I've set, the screenshot could take a complete screen picture. while I change density, whatever resolution (720x1280, 480x800, 1080x1920), screenshot just take the top left part of screen...
partial screenshot is same condition , take a top left part of what I selected .
the screenshot on different resolution is the last issue I can found on AEX 6.0, which not contain on AEX5.x（maybe this is pie issue but still expect you can fix it） if I don't need change the resolution, the ROM is PERFECT?
can you fix this ?? thxxxxx a lot

Who is gonna fix what? Just use the phone the way its supposed to be used i dont understand what you are doing and why. If anyone, huawei can fix your issue i guess.... good luck talking to them.
You should read this, particularly the long answer near the top which explains the size vs density changes.

I think this is actually a bug in android pie. My phone has a 4k display, but normally uses HD res unless in gallery app. So I changed wm size and density to match the display (and despite what some other say, this actually changes the visible resolution, IF your display has this many physical pixels).
Screenshots worked worked fine in oreo, but after updating to pie, there are black borders on the picture.

No Huawei phone has a 4k display, this whole thread is a waste of space really, guy setting his phone display to something that is not supported and wondering why his screenshot won't work, damn mate 10 pro is 2160x1080 and can't be any more than that, if the problem was the screenshots not working in a supported mode there might be a reasonable and were but as it stands this thread should be closed and deleted

The whole point of my post was more like: its not a Huawei only "bug", but effects all (or at least most) pi phones with a custom wm size set. Maybe I was beating around the bush too much... :angel:

Hi, have you found any solution for the screenshots when you change the screen resolution? You're right it happens only in pie and with different phones, in oreo the multitasking previews resize when you enter to the app but the screenshots are ok, in oreo the previews in multitask are ok but the screenshot miss a part of the screen.
I have a galaxy s6 with lineage os 16 and i made a custom resolution so when i take a screenshot it turns out to be croped or something like half of its size and when i change the resolution back to default everything works just fine
I have found a way to enable 120hz on WQHD+ display setting
For root
1. Install Easy DPI Changer [Root]
2. Change resolution to 1436x3192 and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz
Without root
1. Use adb
2. Change resolution to "adb shell wm size 1436x3192" and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384 "adb shell wm density 384"
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz
Screenshot 1 - Screenshot 2
Have fun!

Hey Thank you very much for sharing this tweak! I'll test battery life
BTW just wondering in case I wanted to go back to stock... I'd just change the resolution, and that's it, right?
Thanks, settings that seem to look the best for me:
adb shell wm size 1436x3192
adb shell wm density 511
Set "Font Size" to 2
Will check this by tonight. Nice !
How to change all back to stock? Especially the density and font size?

Just change resolution in settings like normal, and change DPI in developer options to 411
-------------
Unfortunately with this new resolution it causes an empty gap around the edge of the screen

Thanks. Is the empty gap happened because of the dpi?
Update: I think because the resolution for WQHD+ is 3200x1440. Can we have the 120Hz with that resolution rather than 1436x3192?
Thanks my friend.

How is this possible? I was under the impression the panel itself is unable to support this due to hardware limitations ?

Yeah! It is hardware limited. The device is actually running at HD+ on that resolution, and the phone is capable of running HD+ @120hz but if you set the WQHD+ screen size correctly (1440x3200) the phone will run only @60Hz.

It's not 120Hz at that resolution, I tried too, it says 120Hz but is actually 60Hz, it's not smooth like 120Hz
