Hi,
If I take Quantum ROM for example, and change the screen density, I don't think it changes the screen resolution but I was wondering if it affects video performance for games.
Nope. You're not adding additional stress to the gpu in any way.

The issue is photos that are taken sometimes end up being 1280 x 720 in resolution using default setting.
Not always, as the default setting is single shot with maximum widescreen resolution. You can imagine how infuriating it is when you have been to a special event only to have crappy low res pics, and when you check the setting it is correct.
Anyone know whats going on? Also, do certain settings reduce the resolution like anti-shake, face detect etc. The user manual is absolutely useless.
Thanks

Just checked several of my photos. All of them are at 3264x2448. Are you sure you set it to the right resolution in the settings? I have image quality set to superfine as well, I dont know if that makes any difference.
As far as I know antishake and face detect wont reduce the resolution
I was just curious if there is any way to improve the graphics so it looks like the iPhone version? Or the international galaxy s3?
I've downloaded chainfire 3d and tried installing the game with powervr plugin enabled and when I try to run the game, it just crashes.
If there is any mods or editing in order to make the rendering of the game graphics much better, feel free to share
There is no way to do this with the Andreno GPU. Don't waste your time and phone's battery life with such mods.
The best you can do is an overclock with powersave mode OFF.
Well battery life isn't an issue for me but if there is no mods to improve it then guess I'll just stick with it.

What we need is something like pixel/vertex shading or anti-aliasing enabled for our GPUs.
The quality is noticably better on the i9300 and i9305, but still not as iOS (where even the rearview mirrors are reflecting the cars behind you).
I'm just surprised that we can run games like Dead trigger which has insanely great graphics and also by editing some of the text file in the game to activate the "Nvidea" exclusive graphics (ultra setting) with good frames.
I thought there might be some text editing or file editing that will also trigger the same effect for the RR3 but doesn't seem like it
Not all games use the same "engine", so tweaking wont work here.
It could be that the game dev didn't enable them all graphics on non iOS devices.

This is useless on the S3
This is for lower end devices on which low quality is set to default.
What we see is what we get until someone figures out what to tweak in the game files

Hey, everyone! I'm looking for the best way to change the resolution of the G3. I used an app that supposedly does it, and it did, but it bugged out every boot to where it would go back from 1080 to 2K, though it would think it's 1080. I know 2K is awesome, but not only can you just about not notice the difference, but game performance are GREATLY increased!! Battery life may be much more improved as well due to using less GPU power. I had frame drops on PPSSPP playing Monster Hunter in 2K but at 1080, it was always locked at 30fps. Heroes of Order & Chaos I think had worse frame drops but I hadn't gotten the chance to try it yet. Can I change the actual screen resolution, and not the DPI alone, through the build.prop file or something?

I tried that app, and used the G2 preset. It made the status bar look funny (the icons became too big for the bar) and I didn't notice any performance improvements.

That, in a nutshell, is what you get when you artificially "lower the resolution"
Hello guys,
is there a way to lower screen res to 1080p by default (for system and everything running)?
Thank you
You can google "wm size" and "wm density", for 1080p you might as well set the dpi to 420. I don't recommend you do this on stock rom though.
If you think this can help you save battery life, it won't.
If you want performance, the gpu is strong enough for most apps that you probably won't notice any different between FHD or QHD. For 3D gaming, HTC's boost+ can lower the game resolution to 1080p.
Indeed, if you change the resolution and density, they can make some apps acting weird.

It doesn't open apps faster, but it can make the UI smoother (transitions/scrolling). This is entirely subjective of course, and then there's the variables of different rom/kernel combinations
Hey guys,
So just wondering has anyone noticed and pros / cons when switching the display resolution from WQHD ( 2560 x 1440) to HHD (1920 x 1080)?
Ive switched to it back and forth several times, and so far I really cant see any difference. The screen quality / crispness seems to be the same. Also I noticed that when i have FHD selected the device obviously seems to run a little faster / snappier.
Incase you don't know what I'm referring to its in Settings>Display>Screen Resolution.
Hmm the only place I can change that is by turning on a power saving mode, I don't see any screen resolution in the settings otherwise (on Canadian N930W8).

Thats strange I have it as a stock option in settings...
I tried it once and didnt like how the LCD density increases significantly. It also doesnt play nice when setting a custom LCD density via a root app or through adb.
I've noticed no improvements with quality, performance, and even battery life. Setting the res to anything but WQHD actually somehow drains more battery and causes performance issues.
To ellaborate on the tricky LCD density issues, I thought I could set the res to 720p and the LCD density to my usual (420 down from stock 560), but having the density to 420 on WQHD and then changing it to 720p essentially erases the set density, and then things get a little funky when trying to re-change the density. Doing so causes some weird glitches since the density of 420 on 720p is based on the resolution, so it actually makes the density much bigger compared to stock density on 720p, and then setting the density to the proportionate number based on calculating the difference causes the entire Ui to seize up and crash. The same effect you would get where if you set the density below 300.

Ok thanks for the great answer! Guess ill stick to WQHD! Just thought it might offer some benefits.
been testing this and found that it does not get warm when switched down
and to the eye same amazing screen

Sorry, but my findings are almost the opposite, I even made a thread in discussion forum to regard the change to FHD to other users.
FOR ME, switching to FHD has improved the responsiveness of the UI (graceui) considerably, and I do not see the "LCD density increase" (btw.: what should that be? i guess DPI?? then switching to FHD would be a DEcrease...)
Also, I'm almost sure that this must lead to battery improvement too. simple because cpu und gpu have less work to do calculating the lesser amount of screen-pixels to draw! This might be slight, but should be there!
The other problems you mention are because you are playing around with density mods, are you using xposed? I use the lower FHD resolution now for a week, and I do not have ANY problem with it!!! And trust me, I use this phone the whole day long and have many programs and communication tools installed.
everything works as it should!

This was the case both on root/unroot using standard adb shell wm debsity xxx and in-settings res.
