How do i make stock rom apps compatible with a new screen resolution? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do i make stock rom apps compatible with a new screen resolution as i've just changed my resolution to 1280x720 and most apps are force closing.. Is there anyway to fix what is happening? Thanks in advance.

How did you change the screen resolution??? The S4M cant display 1280x720, only 960x540

If you'd know how a screen is build and functioning you would know that your statement is totally incorrect. An app can't change the actual resolution of a screen. If it could it would get the Nobel Prize of something. Youtube is just tricked into thinking your device has a higher dpi, hence allowing a higher resolution setting.......

That is not possible if that would be possible you could use an old screen on your Computer and change the resolution to play Games in 1920x1080.

You just can't change your hardware with an app.

Make a screenshot of your supposed high resolution screen and look at the image details for its real resolution.

[XS] Change device screen resolution, The Correct way?

I owned a Sony Xperia S lt26i.
it will lags constantly while playing some games, i think it is because of its high screen resolution. (correct me if i'm wrong)
If i want to change whole device screen resolution from 1280x720 to 960x540
I just need to change the lcd density/screen resolution at build.prop and change all apps to 960x540 compatible (included launcher/dialer) , then change the details of my model to Xperia P (which is a 960x540 resolution)
Is it this way will work?
any help is appreciate

You cant change the resolution of the screen. The density is another story though.

He wants to change the screen of the application.
No need to be an asshole, you know what he means.

If you have CWM installed then make a backup. Then apply the changes you think will work. If it works then good if not restore the backup.

Q1:
CWM with locked bl will work as well? (i mean backup)
Q2:
changing density = changing resolution?
if 1280x720 change to 960x540, then
341.54 PPI (my PPI i think 340 if didn't rmb wrong) need to change to what value?
Edit: Checked, LCD density is 320, so what value i gonna to change to suit the 960x540?
Q3:
i tried to change before, but seems Launcher is not suitable for this resolution and those apps like subway surfers still is 1280x720 (define by the watching the FPS (2x~4x) ), so means i need details of my XS to XP then the apps need to re-download?
Thanks for reply
For unlocked bootloader, CWM backup works on latest version. I think version 4 is newest
I have no knowledge about resolution. Maybe check white paper, on Sony site, for the P for its specs.
After build.prop changes reinstall apps. Market should see changes.
Good luck

i see.
Extra:
LCD density increase = Screen resolution decrease = Performance increase = Visual quality decrease?
is it this statement correct?
You can't decrease or increase screen resolution. The number of pixels are a hardware thing. You can change DPI, but that won't have an effect on the performance, but on how big or small everything will be rendered on the screen.

Oh ya.. This is the answer i want :crying:
It won't increase performance then no point to change it
that means we can't play subway surfers with full fps.. (even lose a samsung galaxy s)
Question Solved.

I hope you weren't using subway surfers as your lag test. I just went to the store to download it and every comment about it said that the app made the phone lag/laggy.
My kids play temple run, looks similar, and no lagging here
Edit: I just played both and I have no lag. Game played smoothly. Only played a couple minutes though

yeah, temple run is constant 60fps and never drop, asphalt 7 still ok, but not constantly smooth also
max temp for cpu is how much? i would like to set it higher to prevent cpu decrease while gaming :silly:

What site are you getting this resolution from? Chrome is not operating in 2560x1600 resolution because tabs would be so tiny you could barely select them. It is pixel doubling everything and then rendering everything with a higher resolution, which is why fonts look sharper but the web pages look generally the same as a 1280x800 device.

My Nexus 10 say the same essentially (minus 48 pixels for the onscreen buttons). The browser renders 1280x800 and pixel doubles it up to 2560x1600 so that fonts look sharper. Again, there is no way you could comfortably read a true 2560x1600 rendered page on this small of a screen.
If it really bothers you, download a DPI changer and change it to a much lower number, which should increase the reported size.
Any rez change apps that don't require root??

Help with resolution..

Hi all, I recently picked up the 10.5 inch model of the tab s, and I think I may have a problem with my screen resolution.
I was looking for and downloading different HD wallpapers, when I noticed that none of them really fit the screen all that well or looked as good as they should with a screen like this. So I searched around different sites to find my screen resolution and every one of them said my screen was running a 1280x800 resolution. That's WAY below the advertised 2560x1600 resolution this screen should display. Naturally I was a bit concerned and couldn't really find anything related online, so I thought I'd come to you experts here and see what you make of it.
Any help or info you guys/gals could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I didn't take into account that they may be talking about dp. I suppose that makes a bit more sense. Not with the tablet right now so I can't check cpu-z, but when I have the chance, I'll definitely check it out and report back what I find. Thanks for the help, and quick reply!
Glad that I could help

So I checked cpu-z and it does confirm the 2560x1600 resolution. I guess I'm still a little confused though as to what resolution I should be downloading wallpapers at? Every site I go to says my resolution is 1280x800, even though they have 2560x1600 as an available option. Downloading both shows clear superiority in the 2560x1600 resolution, but the sites continually direct me to download the 1280x800 options.
Is this normal? And if not, what should I do?
I just usually download the biggest size... and crop it during choosing wallpaper...

I also usually do what edan does, either look for the correct resolution for the tab (2560x1600) or highest one available and crop/resize/stretch. No need to be confused with auto-detection, since it is a tablet and detection may not work correctly.

Yes it is, since your browser tells the website that you are using 1280x800 resolution.
For full resolution use this app (find it in live wallpaper):

I've used this app on my nexus 10 for a while. Best way to set your wallpaper for sure
I suggest you try going to interfacelift.com it's the best wallpaper site out there with natural taken shots from powerful cameras or edited digital ones and it automatically detects your resolution and sticks to it.

Better Youtube Quality

Hi,
I just wnt to know if there is a way to get my youtube quality higher than 360p?
In other apps i can get higher quality but not in the official youtube app!
Thanks..
YORAN KREMER.
Have this problem too, so I'm using tubemate. Maybe there's a fix for that in the xposed framework, otherwise you could maybe try to change the density of youtube(with app manager in xposed).Or maybe you could change your device brand and model in the build.prop to another device with 720p resolution.

I use the modded youtube app you can find on xda, there you can set the resolution you want. And use play while screen is off. It rocks.

no i dont think it is possible... Even if u root ur phone you wont be able to change your resolution from 720p to 1080p... Its a hardware thing not software...If this was possible no-one would buy 1080p display variants and everyone around here would be changing their 720p display phone resolution to 1080p You can change your screen's dpi (makes things look smaller/bigger) but not its resolution... if you want to change dpi here is thread (see #8 adjusting dpi without root):
