Totally pointless, it wont save power or increase speed. If anything it will do the reverse, the GPU will only have to scale the 1080P image up to 1440P in order to fill the screen, which uses processor cycles.

Try 530dpi and it works.

This is running sooo fast (with ART) on 1080x1920 @ 530 dpi...my god. Way better. Only thing is, all the stuff is truly blown up because of the scaling. But really fast

If you're gonna ruin the whole qHD-experience simply try 720x1280 or even lower. The phone will be quicker still! :good:
</sarcasm>

I don't wish to change the resolution because I'm having good battery life with 1440p. I would to see the difference though of the standby time and screen on time of 1080p and 1440 and see if the difference is big. Using 1440p , I'm currently on 83 percent with 6 1/2 hours of standby and 1 hour and 9 minutes of screen on time.

I tried setting the 530 dpi and it actually works ... but all you can see pretty damn bad. From the pull-down notifications, with the enormous switch, with sliders for brightness and sound occupy three quarters of the screen, so many widgets lg, which work but are unusable.
It does not seem an optimal solution.

Don't get me wrong, i am using 1440P atm. I was just saying...

I set 530 dpi but the dock icons are too big..

Use Rom Toolbox build.prop editor to change just the one dpi line to 530. Everything except smart notice widget will work fine.

[MOD][18-02]New configuration of stock JB KERNEL for less power usage

NEW CONFIGURATION
OF STOCK JB KERNEL
Hi guyz, since i don't like the default parameters of stock JB kernel,
i'm trying to use my own one witch i could have little less power usage
with hight tasks like web browsing or gaming.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HOW IT WORKS?
Simply, it decrease the cpu ramping up to maxfreq to preserve
a lower voltages of the SoC, it means, less power usage.
In fact, MilliAmpere used are less.
HOW TO FLASH?
REALLY?!? :silly:
Flash it as a normal ROM.
####################
You could have issues
Enjoy and, if you like, rate 5 stars
and sure, FEEDBACKS me!!
It's an order!
It should works with all SENSE JB roms.
P.S. 5 mins of usage isn't a test,
2 days from a complete charge to a complete
discharge are that, and sure, WITH THE SAME USAGE!!
An Example

FAQ
- What about this MOD?
It's a script witch changes Ondemand's parameters
- Could damage my phone?
ABSOLUTELY NO! why? because it's only a script witch write some numbers, after a reboot, numbers comes to stock setting if MOD will be removed
- Is it invasive for my rom?
ABSOLUTELY NO! it doesen't change anything in system files, only write some numbers in governor's parameters, those returns at stock value after 1 reboot (if you delete the mod)
- Should i have little lags?
Yes, you could, because this setting decrease the ramp up of the cpu, it means, less frequency = less power usage.. but.. means less performance too!
- Is it a mod for hardcore gaming?
No, i create that only for normal dalily use + web browsing, you should have little lags!
- I have some issues after installing this mod, what about it?
Since this only changes some values, the ONLY thing you could have is a lagghing phone, other issues are rom fault (or maybe your fauilt)
- I have choppy youtube videos, what could i do?
Nothing, don't know why but, probably, youtube needs 1.5ghz of core, and, this mod decrease the ammount of time spent at that frequency. It's an nvidia hotplug error, it should turn on 4 core at low freq, but, it doesn't do, so, for now, don't know what we could do to fix it! Need the source code of kernel!
- I don't like your mod, how to remove?
Flash the remove zip file and fuk off! (ahahahahaha )
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD MY MOD IN YOUR OWN ROM?
For me, it's ok, but, my opinion, some users has issues with gaming and youtube playback, so, if you FORCE ths mod to him, you could lose credibility!
This mod decrease the benchamrks results too! So, my advice is to ADD THIS THREAD LINK IN YOUR ROM'S THREAD WITCH YOU ADVICE TO TRY MY MOD!

You'll see the difference in a completely day, if you already uses the phone, you don't have a completely charge, and the % of battery is calculated and not real. What i would say?
Simply, decrease from 100 to 90 isn't the same as 20 to 10%!

[Q] Why is the performance so poor?

I don't understand how a phone so powerful can run so poorly. Often times it may take up to 5 seconds to respond to input and is extremely laggy. My friends iPhone 4 is more responsive and it is kind of embarrassing when I am always talking so highly of Android devices, and a 2 year device with incredibly inferior specs is outperforming a brand new high-end phone. There also seems to be an enormous lack of development. I am really starting to regret purchasing this phone.

I agree that G3 performance is bad. Its because the system in chip had to draw all the extra pixels of a QHD display. It causes lag and slowness everywhere.
The QHD display needs a more powerful system on chip.

Its got nothing to do with the QHD screen. The processor is more than capable of rendering QHD in 2D, even 4K wouldnt be a problem.
The problem is LG have very badly optimised the software. The latest revisions are much much faster, Im using v10J and everything is instant. We went through the same problems with the G2.

I've seen it happen on old phones of mine that tried to render 1080 but struggled. You get the stutter effect and frame rate dropping because it can't draw it quickly enough. This is a good comparison video too of the more powerful 805 chip Vs the 801 chip

Clearly thats not the case since I have absolutely zero lag. Its a fact that the GPU isnt stressed in 2D by the QHD, it doesnt even throttle past 330mhz. The 801 is rated for 4K, and only then limited by bandwidth rather than raw power.
Its all about the LG software. It will improve.
I have zero lag with my processor downclocked to 1.5ghz and 200 mhz GPU
So all this QHD resolution causing lag is complete BS and trolling.

This chip is not maxed out at all, let's not spread false information please. LG needs to optimize the software for the phone to run correctly. I have enabled 60fps on my phone, and the thing flies now. No lag while scrolling, or while gamingto speak of. The chip has no problems with the resolution.
The thing with Iphone is the way it's set up, Android has more things working in the background eating up ram/etc, that's why optimization is so important. Put an 801 chip into the Iphone, which has MUCH less things running in the background by default, and I guarantee you that the phone will run much faster than with the A7 chip.
Also, rogue apps that are not optimized correctly can also cause serious lag. I recently had the HTC One M8, which ran beautifully, until I downloaded a rogue app that was eating up ram when not in use, and my phone was lagging like crazy.
So it's not really fair to compare android with ios's speed, because all Iphone devices work the same way, and use the same chip. While on Android, there are many factors and apps that can interfere with the OS. Any true Android fan should know how these things work..you can customize the phone to your liking, but you also have to deal with rogue apps and ram issues sometimes.
Have to agree that the 801 struggles with 2k, use a 1080 801 flagship and you'll see the difference. The frame rate on some games is poor in the G3 compared to 1080 801 phones and that's nothing to do with software. The QHD is also power hungry and runs hotter and thermal throttles the CPU more.

Exactly, this chip is more then capable of running the high resolution on the G3. LG should have taken the time to calibrate the software to run better, but the newer updates going around are based off of the info here from XDA users.The default battery saving technique to dynamically adjust the fps/etc only saves a little more batter, but is not worth the tradeoff of a stuttering device. LG should have put in a bigger battery and increased the phone size a little instead of setting up the phone the way it currently is. People are too obsessed with thin phones now-a-days, I prefer a little bulk with MUCH better battery life!
---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------
Also, just to add on to the info that the 801 cannot handle the 2K resolution, which is false..I had the HTC One M8, which oddly stuttered like crazy when playing Asphalt 8, and a few other highly graphical games, but ran smooth as butter when scrolling through apps/etc. However, my G3 has Zero problems now running the same games. So clearly, it's more at play than just the 801. It's more about optimization/etc.
I have pretty much zero lag, the only stutter I see is when pulling down the notification bar, but that happens literally every time I do it. Anybody experiencing the same? Rooted 32gb D855 10g.

To give you an idea of the advances LG will likely make I recently flashed my G2 back to the original ROM. It was terrible, laggy, jittery, horrible camera lag. I then updated to the latest. Smooth, lag free, faster camera, totally reliable. This will happen for the G3 to.
QHD has nothing to do with the issues at all. Its quite clear LG released this phone in almost a panic about heat and battery life, with so many unnecessary measures taken. I disabled quite a lot of them and its smooth and the battery lasts longer than any phone ive had before, even my G2. I wonder if half the screens issues are due to LG undervolting it. Most mods for other devices undervolt the screen to save power, I want to try the opposite.

Oh yes, it's not compatible as of now. ART really does make a difference in how the phone works though. It's actually the first time that I have seen how beneficial ART is. Question, do you have any widgets in your notification shade/etc? You could also try using the Nova launcher and see if that helps.

So what about non d855 users. I have the T mobile variant and it seems we are waiting on Android L for an update as there hasnt been any incremental performance updates. I agree the software is not all it could be.
I use Nova launcher and don't see any lag.
When I was using the stock launcher, I thought that I would see some delay here and there, But I wasn't really sure if it was the phone or me believing what other people were writing.
But I did use the settings in the linked post and it seemed to make the stock launcher much faster. I do not know if it will affect your issue.

2K to 1080p

Hey guys.
i've heard about the performance problem on the G3 because of its 2k screen.
i read that when you downgrade that to 1080p using some tools the performance will be HUUUUUUUGE improvements and will be so much better....
How to make it 1080p? Is it stable? Will everything still work?
Anyone using 1080p?
Thanks!
Changing to 1080p will barely have any effect on battery because all pixels are still pushed and use same amount of power.
Only difference is that GPU wont be strained that much as with 2k resolution. Considering that screen has highest usage of all other components, you will barely notice boost in battery life, if at all.
I tried that too and got mostly same results as 2k (it might be because i dont play any games so my GPU is never intense), even if I thought to myself that battery got better, its more or less a placebo effect.
Also if you have LG ROM, you will face a lot of app crashes when downscale to 1080p.

I used nomone to change to 1080p on a CM based ROM. I felt that the battery was better.

I haven't tested a lot of video, but I thought I read the video would be 60 fps at 1080p and 30 at 4k.
For me the biggest drawback so far has been the screen quality. The resolution is nice, but it has this weird shine effect that is bugging me. You can only see it when it's text on white, and it is more pronounced when you tilt slightly, but it is also there when you're looking straight on.
Didn't see it at first but now I can't look without seeing it and it's killing me.

Hmm I'm also experiencing alot of stutter in apps and even in settings (did several wipes, always the same). It's not that bad but it is definitely not 100% smooth. But nobody mentions it in the forums. You're the first one.
I'm comparing it to my M8, which is nexus-like smooth, with almost no stutter at all. The only app where 10 is smoother is chrome.
I think we have to wait till custom kernels pop up. I was hoping the stock experience would be 100% smooth like the nexus phones.

According to reviewers Galaxy S6 and S7 are also stutter-free. Main reason I returned my S7 is because it was so laggy. But I guess most people really don't care. Doing a little search on google I only see people who used a nexus phone complaining about stutters on devices like S6, S7, etc.
Btw I did a little test here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66729920&postcount=226
Odd: my S7 Edge is very fast and barely has any stutter etc which has surprised me. I was expecting the opposite go figure.

Really? Could you do a test with your s7 with the graphical bars option turned on from dev options.
Btw my S7 was indeed very fast, but just stuttery in chrome (with ads blocked) and apps like YouTube.

Odd: my S7 Edge is very fast and barely has any stutter etc which has surprised me. I was expecting the opposite go figure.

Are you keeping both the edge and 10?
I noticed that by default Boost+ will "automatically clear memory in the background", which I had disabled since day one. Perhaps it causes stutter?
Boost+ -> Settings -> Smart Boost

Probably give up the 10: the edge is the better phone for me and I don't mind not having root believe it or not. It does what I want it to do quite well.

Hmm I'm also experiencing alot of stutter in apps and even in settings (did several wipes, always the same). It's not that bad but it is definitely not 100% smooth. But nobody mentions it in the forums. You're the first one.
I'm comparing it to my M8, which is nexus-like smooth, with almost no stutter at all. The only app where 10 is smoother is chrome.
I think we have to wait till custom kernels pop up. I was hoping the stock experience would be 100% smooth like the nexus phones.

It's pretty strange more than one people report this problem since my HTC 10 is very smooth in settings(most of time it's 60 fps by looking at GPU profiling). Would you like to upload a screenshot of settings with GPU profiling turned on?

Could you do similar tests with settings, YouTube, twitter, playstore

This is my result. In settings and youtube, the stutter is less often than yours (it happens), however Play Store is a lagging hell(sometimes worse than the screenshot below).
Not sure if it's a hardware fault or what.
As far as I know htc got their own cpu scheduling implementation, maybe that's the problem.

For what it's worth, my phone came out of the box with Smart Boost disabled.
I played with one today and im not impressed. felt semi slow and i dont like the capacitive buttons. ill keep my nexus 5x and wait to see if and what the htc nexus is all about in the fall.

Yep it's definitely not stutter free. Once you've used a device where the bars stay below the line, these micro stutters are very noticeable.
I hope custom kernels gonna fix it.

Considering I couldn't find any reason that this phone will perform worse than the competition, with same SoC and same DDR4 memory, the only logical explanation is that htc have a stricter frequency control (persumbly GPU) for a better battery life.

HTC 10 very poor performance

hello,my htc 10 performance is very poor so i decided to stress test my phone using the antutu app.
as you can see the cpu load is varying between 80-90% but the speed deosnt pass 1200-1600 mhz range. the maximum frequency is 2200.。
i have lag in almost every graphice intense game
i have poor performance and i dont know what to do, should i return the phone and request another one or is there something i can do?:crying:
Im getting pretty much the same problem, download an app off the playstore called fps test and can you tell me if the framerate seems to stick at 50fps then jump to 60fps then back to 50, or just stays at 50.

Yes i tested and i got about 49-50 fps then after about 15-20 seconds it jumps up to 59-60 and comes back down
Yeah I think that must have something to do with it, im getting that too and my phone seems really slow also. I wonder if its a defect, I just got it the other day. Can anyone else who has their phone working normally also test?

Yea i got the phone for a month, i asked everyone who has it ,how they run high graphic games and they say they have no lag..i think we might have a faulty phone

This is normal for games, smartphones are not an highend PC.
Also, read post 6 in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/laggy-homescreen-gaming-t3434178
It probably has something to do with software (HTC firmware).
What game did you test ? Alsphalt 8 is pretty bad optimised

Yeah but i have lag in every game with a bit of a higher graphic, even in hearthstone it lags pretty hard ,on the other hand other devices run it almost flawless

Also as you can see from the stress test, the device
Doesnt really pass 1200-1300 mhz even at almost full load
Do you have a lot of widgets running ?
Try clearing cache (junk) in Boost+
you can try factory reset

Just the basic google search,also cache is cleared and i factory reseted the phone a week ago but it didnt really do anything
Just did a stress test in antutu like you did.
My wifi was turned off, no apps in background, everything stock, new phone.
I got almost the same results like you, a bit better though, but my cpu speed frequency doesn`t go over 1600 mhz. It looks like this is normal. 820 cpu can run at 2200, but it is always a bit underclocked on smartphones.
It must be that software (HTC firmware) is doing some harm to gaming
Try downloading an app called fps test, its icon is an orange circle. Can you see what the framerate is on it/ whether its stable. I've never ever had this problem on any other phone.
Read something yesterday about HTC shutting down one of the cores once a certain temperature is reached, dunno if that is what's causing your issue, there was also a work around in the rom / kernel section which upped the temperature before the setting kicked in...

Have you turned on High Performance Mode in the developer options?
HTC 10
This isn't as simple as saying its the phone itself. Android is an open source OS with a number of different devices so it's harder to optimize games for every phone, then with the higher screen resolution on newer phones this can also slow down frame rate. Another thing that has caused issues is the Nougat update which they are suppose to fix soon, this could be why an older phone runs games smoother due to lower screen resolution and and older version of Android which has had time to be perfected and receive necessary updates. The HTC 10 is actually a gaming beast compared to other Android devices. With the HTC 10 you can go into developer options (by going to ABOUT phone and clicking on "build number 7 times, developer options will then be added into your settings. Inside developer options you can then click "high performance mode" which will over clock your CPU to boost performance (only use when your phone is plugged in because it will drain battery fast). By scrolling to the bottom of the screen click advanced and you can then turn off animations (this will make your phone a little faster). If you want higher frame rate click (force gpu rendering) this will help boost frame rate by offloading graphics onto the gpu freeing up power of the CPU (this may or may not degrade graphics slightly). If you want to improve 3D graphics you can click "4xmsaa".
