[Q] Turning off widescreen mode on the G2

considering every other camera phone you can change to aspect ratio (4:3) ie 640x 480 instead of 640x960 it is for work in reo propertys where every thing has to be documented and sent some where.
need to be able to for my work
and other phones can see below just not a tmobile version ?

[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

seems not easy to get an answer ~.~

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.
Thanks everyone!

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:

Resolution to 1080 or 1224?

I tried changing resolution to
1224 x 2176 520 dpi
1080 1920 480dpi
But I want two apps to work
LG Keyboard ( I really like it. Its better than all others)
LG Launcher (good but I can live without it)
I can make the other apps work fine but above two. Has any one successful in running any of the above apps on 1080 ?
I am on lollipop btw

I was finally able to change resolution to 1224 with LG Home, Swiftkey and LG keyboard and all apps working perfectly fine.
Here's what I did.
Changed resolution to 1224 x 2176 DPI 540 using Nomone resolution changer.
Then I used Rom Toolbox Lite to edit build.prop and changed LCD density to 540 as well.
Reboot.
Everything is working great.
Why I changed to 1224 x 2176.
LG G3 original resolution
1440 x 2560 = 3686400 pixels.
and
1224 x 2176 = 2663424 pixel (72% of 1440 x 2560) Huge performance boost.
You can also try
1920 x 1080 = 2073600 (56% of 1440 x 2560) Even better performance boost.
I couldnt find the right DPI settings for 1080. LG Home, Keyboard doesnt work fine. Other apps can work fine by appsettings(xposed module) though.

How's the state of resolution changes?

Hi guys,
I pretty much got the G3 despite its QHD screen, but would actually prefer FullHD for performance reasons.
Can someone please tell me if there is a current and proven way to change the resolution across reboots without UI crashes? Can it be done with Fulmics?
I've tried doing it with Nomone resolution changer, 1920*1080 @ 485DPI. I tried raising the DPI to 530 for LG apps. Unfortunately, I get constant "com.android.phone has crashed" errors.

Switching Display Res from WQHD - FHD

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.
