Hey guys, I was watching some videos on how to lower the resolution of the Nexus 6, and I wanted to try it out on my Xperia S.
It worked pretty well so I thought of making a little tutorial for anyone who wants to try this out. It gives better performance since the CPU/GPU needn't to process all the pixels, this doesn't change battery drain since the pixels are still there. I'm on nAOSP 5.1.1 at the moment, so you'll have to test and tell me if it works on other ROMs also (which it should). So let's start:
1. First of all you'll need to do a backup so you'll be safe if something goes wrong.
2. Install and run Terminal Emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en)
We will enter 4 simple commands that will change our resolution to 540x960 and dpi to 240, so here we go:
su
wm size 540x960
wm density 240
stop && start
3. I've noticed that the bootanimation may be broken so here is one that is scaled correctly (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BySc77H7gPOLLVhvZm0yNDlFbE0/view?usp=sharing)
Copy/paste the bootanimation.zip in system/media
If you want to revert the changes here are the native resolution and DPI of the Xperia S:
-res is 720x1280
-DPI is 320
That is all, you can use an app like Display Tester from the Play Store to check your resault.
Enjoy, and don't hesitate to ask questions
Can it make any problem?

Everything looks good on my side. You can try the guide in the OP, it looks like that app you're using isn't working properly.
Is there any performance benefit to use this?

Well, my device feels a lot more snappy than before. I'm running underclocked at 1404mhz and still I managed to get 14xxx score on Antutu.
The stock score was 12xxx I think (at 1512mhz).
I got 15350 score after that

Sure I'll add them.
It doesn't mess up apps, honestly the only thing I found messed up was the bootanimation, and the on/off swtiches over the UI
And i tried again 'Resource Changer' app, and it's working now very well, only need a restart after changing the value

Did you reboot at the end? What looks abnormal? I honestly can't find a thing wrong on my side, everything looks the same.
Text and icons become blurry. I would not expect else, since at 540x960 no exact scaling can be performed. I tried 360x640 for 1:2 scaling, but it's too low resolution for a crisp image. The phone is not any smoother than before. Most games offer resolution change to boost performance, so the above exercise is practically a waste of time.

I'm opening this thread for have a place where shareideas to fix our Samsung apps for fit low DPi (high Resolution).
First, i'm not a developer so we need to cooperate alltogheter for win
I have a SGT European GSM, i don't know if those mods can be applicable to any CDMA device.
I fixed 2 apps for now:
Dialer, inside Contact.apk, mostly fixed only the dialpad, still need to fix Incoming/Outcoming calls
Calculator, fixed 100%
I have used this 2 great app :
[DPI] Dialer, MusicPlayer, Calc, FM, Camera + GUIDE +utility(kinda)
Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)
Inside these threads you will find how to use them.
What i modded:
Contact.apk-----> res/layout/dialer_app.xml
Calculator.apk---> res/layout/main.xml
Install them via Adb or rootexplorer.
This thread is meant for development, for people that wanna help for that purpose, do not put your request or whatever here.

Hello,
Those .apk works for all gsm rom ?
Thanks for your work
P.S Sorry my bad english :-(
They come from Alterbridge (Overcome)rom but they are stock apps Galaxy Tab, if Boyppc use that stock apps then they are good for you.
Make a backup of your old apps before, just to be sure.

Just FYI, pixel density is not the same as dpi. A lower pixel density leads to an increase in dots per inch.

Sorry, I should've said "LCD Density". Decreasing that increases PPI and DPI - well, perceptually anyway, the LCD is still fixed at 1024x600. Given that the actual screen is 6.0" x 3.5" (7.0" diag) that means a native PPI/DPI of approx 170. I've no idea how LCD density relates to these values - can someone explain?
The wiki page nicely explains why I always feel like I can fit more "stuff" onto a Windows desktop than an OS X one though

Im using my galaxy note 4 in 460dpi and grren dialer button stretches. Will this fix the problem? Also how can i install this xml file
Sorry if this has already been posted before but I came across it and never heard about it before. It changes your screen size like you were changing the resolution on a monitor. I went from 240 default down to 200 and it seems like a perfect size without making everything too small

I really never knew about this. To me at least having the smaller scale size looks and feels better than stock. How come we dont see rom/theme releases with this mod?
I think for Developers personal preferences, also I'm not quite sure they could change the build.prop with a theme, but in the case of a Rom I believe that keeping it on a basic level works out in the best for the general population, but also allows those who are more prone to making changes on their own to go ahead and attempt it for themselves.
Thanks for the thread though man, I've been iffy about whether this app would work for the Epic, I truly appreciate it.
Yep build.prop is the way to go.
I don't think I could go back to stock density. 172 looks excellent.
dpesnt the dialer get offset to bottom left when changing the density or is that only on themed dialers?

Freakin killer app.....
Thanx man
Very cool mod!...I'm not sure I can go as low as 172, but even a minor adjustment to 200 really makes a wonderful difference...I especially like the overall effect to the launcher.
One drawback though...I'm going to have to retrain my muscle memory because of the slight change in location of various things.
It'll be interesting to see if there's any way to make a minor adjustment to the default dialer so it can properly scale...Also, it looks like I'm going to have to take a look at the Wired Tether app because it looks fairly odd.
.
Edit: I solved the wierd layout in Wired Tether app using appleflap's suggestion in this thread to turn off Compatibility Mode...However, I'm on SRF 1.2, so I did it through Settings-->Lockscreen Parts-->General.
.
OK...After a data wipe of the Market app, I just noticed this density change caused the Market to identify 21 of the 102 apps I currently have installed as not compatible...Bummer.

Sorry for not giving you the heads up.
With my density so low NOTHING works with the new ****ty market. I reverted back to the older market. Where everything is compatible.
What is the pixel density of the Evo 3D? (trying to mimic that if I can)
Also, does this app cause the New market to FC or something?
Hmmm, so does anyone know the step process to changing the density with my phone total crashing with fc? ?

No...The issue is with the version 3x market because there's a new compatibility check in place which references the LCD density value, so this change can cause previously installed apps to appear incompatible according the the new market removing them from your installed list

Hi
I've released a new free wallpaper onto the android market (link in my signature). I've only been able to test it on a couple of devices and was wondering if someone could test it on the SII?
Feedback is always welcome and if you like it, a positive rating and/or comment would be most appreciated.
Cheers,

Galaxy S2 doesn't lag on any live wallpaper for me. I have tried like 15 of them so far.
It does lag when moving text around on large font if you meant by that. Moving/swiping home screen has no lag, weird.
The wallpaper has a managed frame rate for battery/performance trade off - so it being a bit laggy is to be expected at its default setting.
I am curious if setting the FPS to 40 makes this better?
Thanks again,
Paul

40fps or 10fps is same for me. The lag is only millisecs, so it's not that bad.

I have seen people talking about changing the DPI on their phones?
What are the benefits?
Is it battery life? I think stock is 320 and some changes I have seen are under 200.
Thanks.
No battery benefits from doing it. It just makes the screen look different, and some people like that. Gotta be careful with it though because it can cause problems with downloads from play store.

Hey,
I change the DPI so i can play some tablet games on my phone for exemple. On the ROMs that include the per app dpi (like Paranoid Android) you can change the dpi of every app or just on one single app. I use it also for the mail Apps like Gmail. It looks better and feels better
Hope that helped you !

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, displays not working, or your phone melting *
Now with that out of the way, hello! Welcome to my first guide-thingy. As it is my first, I apologise if there is a mistake or if I have left something out, but this process is exactly the process I have used.
Recently I've had a few people ask me about changing their phone's resolution and DPI as said in my signature, so I thought I'd write up a guide for people to use! The ROM I've done this on is the BlissPop AOSP ROM but the process should be similar for most if not all other Custom AOSP-Based ROMs. I am UNSURE if this process works on the stock ROM or any stock-based ROMs.
Prerequisites:
- Root access
- Root File Manager & Explorer (Such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer)
* Root Browser: https://tinyurl.com/aytbttu
*ES File Explorer: https://tinyurl.com/cd4u27q
- NOMone Resolution Changer
* https://tinyurl.com/kjg63jn
- OPTIONAL (For Multi-DPI Patch) Latest AROMA (Now known as Open) GApps Package
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071
Lets get started!
Firstly, the Multi DPI Patch. It's not essential but allows apps to be properly resized to match your custom DPI, and in the latest Google Apps package it has an option when installing to install a multi-DPI patch for people who are using custom resolutions on their phone. Like me, I'm not using 2560x1440 (Stock 1440p resolution) I'm using 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution @ 370 DPI.
Changing your Resolution & DPI
1. Download NoMone Resolution Changer from the Play Store above (It's free) and grant root access
2a. Open a root file manager (Like Root Browser or ES File Explorer (You have to enable root-access for ES) ) and navigate to the /system folder on internal storage. Find your build.prop at the bottom. Now, you're going to want to create a backup of this file before we do anything as it defines how things work on the phone, so create a copy and move it somewhere safe from being wiped (Like an external SD card)
2b. Click on build.prop and open with a root file browser
2c. Find the line under the #ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section that says ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx and change 560 (default DPI) to something like 430 if you want the font and stuff to stay the same size or 370 to make it smaller and hit save, grant root-save access if required. Then, open the file with another file manager to verify it's saved and changed. Adjust the DPI to something that you like, but be cautious as not all DPIs work properly (I only know of 370 & 430 that have worked for me). This step may vary depending on how your ROM sets out your build.prop.
3. Set your desired resolution in NOMone Resolution Changer (Mine is 1080x1920, remember to do it backwards so 1080x1920 not 1920x1080 otherwise your phone's GUI will be landscape and not portrait, and will go off the screen)
3b. Set your desired DPI to match the DPI you put into your build.prop file and hit apply (Grant root access if requested). The app will apply your settings and change your screen to match the new settings. It will then prompt you if you'd like to keep these settings, hit yes or no. If you hit yes, it will give you an option to change back the settings after a minute so you can see what the phone looks like at that setting.
*This next step only applies if your ROM has an option to manage the DPI setting itself, like BlissPop does, otherwise skip it*
4. After you've applied your custom resolution and DPI, go to Settings (Yes everything will be massive-sized don't worry) -> Display & Lights -> Scroll down to the bottom, hit advanced Display Settings, and change the LCD Density DPI to match the one you set in your build.prop and NOMone app.
5. Hit yes to reboot or reboot your phone if not prompted.
6. You're done! Your phone should reboot and apply your new resolution and DPI changes.
I have attached some screenshots showing off the BlissPop & Facebook UI at 1920x1080 Resolution & 370 DPI, as well as an example change in the NOMone Resolution Changer App. Lowering the Resolution and DPI is beneficial to those who want to squeeze more stuff onto their screen (it enables lots more text on the screen that isn't really big.) As well as gamers (The lower resolution doesn't strain the GPU as hard.)
If you have any issues, just delete the build.prop you edited from the /system folder in TWRP and copy over the original one you backed up and put it in the /system folder.
Known issues caused by this guide:
- Boot animation may stretch when booting.
- Recent app previews will also be larger for some unknown reason, this is a small side effect however.
Hope this helped!

/LG-G3/d-855/16Gb/Titanium Black/
I've used this application to lower resolution on my G3 to 1080p but found that the small text and other stuff was blurred because it's disproportionate to the amount of pixels, since 720p would be a more accurate number to downscale to on a 1440p screen (1/2).
Do you notice this "fuzziness"? I forget exactly which DPI I set it to when I did go down to 1080p, but the other thing I realized was that the performance gain was marginal. I did not do long-term battery testing with this, though. So the verdict is still out on whether or not there is any gain there.

some games are badly coded...hence there's no improvement

So I used the recommended settings of 1080p and 370dpi and the blur is minimized but not completely gone. Bearable, though.
I'll be testing out some other performance things and more long-term battery savings. Thanks again for the write-up. Hopefully it will help with people willing to try out different resolutions and DPI's.

Sorry, but this is the kind of thing that cannot be shown on a software level. Screenshots will not work.
The images and text is just not as crisp because since it's not 1:1 with the pixels it will naturally display fuzzy. This is unavoidable but can be lessened by using better ratios (ideally 720p, but that would just be too low) and different DPI settings. If you do not see this yourself then you may lack the eyesight. Again, it's not very noticeable and the positives may very well be more beneficial than having a perfect 1:1 ratio.

You could try going to 1080p @ 430 DPI. This makes the text similarly sized to the default 560 DPI, only on lower resolution. If you did this, the GPU wouldn't have to work as hard, and your text would still be the original size
But yeah it's worth playing around a bit. I haven't noticed any fuzziness at all at 370 DPI, and I do a lot of reading on my phone.

If you lower the resolution on any lcd screen made for a specific resolution it will make things fuzzy. You can even do this on your computer monitor.
Everyone should expect this as it is not 1:1, but I still consider it pretty useful.

you really have to look very very very closely to notice anything IMHO
And If that was written somewhere...most people will fall under mass hysteria and take it as granted .....that's a fact....i'm enjoing my huge screen like I did before on 1440p ...it makes no difference for me and side by side comparison with my co-worker's G3 which is all Stock except rooted(by my advice)....makes no difference at all....none, 0,....he didn't notice that I changed anything except THE Beautiful Rom and pure raw power against his Stock G3...so...don't complicate to much....

Does it only work for LG G3 in particular? I tried it on my rooted Galaxy S6 Edge and it doesn't seem to work.

The guide is for the G3 running AOSP ROMs.
I suggest you check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/resolution-phone-changed-t3075664
It's look interesting, gonna try this one up. Ty @m1trand1r for your kind answer [emoji3]
