Hi how does side loading work android apk?, Specifically DPI .. Can i side load a 480dpi app on 1080 x 2280 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~442 ppi density) phone?.
would i notice any difference to the eye would it be ok for the phone? What will the difference be? I know universal is better or no dpi from my limited experience thanks.
Sideloading an APK simply means to not download and install it via Google Play Store.

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.
Is there a way to change the Display output resolution in Android?
I'm not talking about the screen density (DPI). I'm talking about the pixels.
The thing is I own an Acer Iconia A700 FullHD tablet but there is lag, especially on 3D games that forces the native screen resolution of 1920x1200.
So forcing the resolution from 1920x1200 down to 1280x800 would theoretically reduce those lags.
So it works with some games that comes with an option to change the resolution, but most games doesn't have an option, they simply run in 1920x1200 and lag really badly.
Is there a way to change the overall resolution down to 1280x800 ?
I know it MIGHT be possible but there could be a problem because the image has to get upscaled to the native display resolution.
And I don't know if the Tegra 3 comes with an hardware scaler.
So if the resolution gets changed, it might get upscaled and filtered (or not) OR just centered in a smaller image in the middle of the screen.
But either way.. Is it possible? if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
[Q] Change Smartphone Display Resolution FHD 1080p to 720p via soft?
This is possible?
Currently many smartphones are already FHD, but what if we want to reduce to 720p to improve performance, it is possible via software? something like in windows, or is not possible unless you edit the kernel?
This an interesting topic.
In terminal:
su
wm size 800x1280
To reset back:
wm reset

Xposed appsettings to change the resolution for every app

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

OP, you may want to alter your thread title in the advanced edit menu to something more accurate. You will see what I mean if you read the comments here.
And members, it's fine to try to educate someone or correct them, but do it respectfully. Or don't post otherwise.

Hi,
My device is ASUS ZD551KL running android M, stock rom, not rooted.
It display resolution native is 1920x1080, and 480dpi. With this resolution playing game a bit heavy, so i try to change display resolution and dpi. I did that using adb shell command to make resolution 1280x720 and 320dpi.
The problem is the physical (capacitive) buttons not working when i change the resolution (with dpi changed it works fine). So, anyone can help to get around this problem? With non rooted solution preferably.
Thx.
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
