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"

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

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
Hello the game battery booster app installed on the htc 10 does anyone seem to have this working?
My understanding is that once you add a game to the list, the game will run at 1080p instead of 1440p but so far am getting poor performance in games and when I take a screenshot I see 1440p and not 1080p reason for my lower frame rate.
Is it really hard for htc to add an overlay that pops up saying when it's enabled?
OK is they any other apps out there that will down scale games? Without root.
Thanks
I use it for all of my games and it seems to have a very minor impact on battery life for the few games I do play. I haven't had an issue with poor performance with or without it enabled.

I think the screenshot should be 1440p as opposed to 1080p as your actual screen is still 1440p (bringing actual resolution to 1080p would cause black bars on the screen which would look unsightly). The game booster probably just forces the game to render at 1080p so fewer pixels are generated and less load on GPU.
I want game booster for my htc desire 820 g + and I have lineage os 14.1 custom rom plz anybody give me
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.
And not only in that application in other applications it also works low resolution like pubg do you think it has a solution? Because I bought this tablet basically to play their games.I am thinking of selling it and buying the iPad because my girlfriend has it and all the applications are at the highest quality here, I feel that it is not optimized and what is like a large mobile.The tablet in hardware and price quality is much better than the ninth generation iPad and has incredible speakers but if it is not accompanied by a good operating system it is useless
It did choose lower resolution on some games, but there I could increase it to max level manually in settings.

I have put everything to the maximum of graphics but the resolution of the game being low it still looks very pixelated, It is not optimized for the size of the tablet

Same problem here on cod and pubg. Have you found any solution?
Just check anti aliasing
I tried all graphic settings, even antialiasing. Uninstall and reinstall the game, fabric reset the Tab but no changes. It is like the game runs in 480p and It doesn't recognize screen resolution.

Maybe the game simply isn't optimised for a tablet very well? Maybe speak to the developers. I don't have any resolution issues on anything else.
I have the same problem did it got fixed? Or did you get a solution??
No, no solution for me.
I've read that this is a known issue even on the Samsung Tabs so it seems to be a screen related issue in general.
