Lowering res to 1080p - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

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

Good day to all of you. I would like to tell you my vision for Arc S improvements. Firstly in Gaming. MUST support GB ROM PLEASE!
In-Gaming there should be at least:
- Screen Resolution adjuster: ARC S is way better in 640X480 Resolution (MUST SUPPORT FIT TO SCREEN SO NO BLACK AREAS). Most apps will run at 30FPS stable or more (Dead Trigger, Subway Surfers, etc)
- Screen Resolution for apps: This will set your selected games to run at most at least 640X480 instead of 854X480. (MUST SUPPORT FIT TO SCREEN SO NO BLACK AREAS)This app will set your games resolution to desired resolution when launch.
- More Kernels that you can made to make further improvements or ask DoomLord's or Wedgess permission to continue their GB kernels or ICS or JB.(If existing)
This is my vision. Thanks for taking time to read this. Good day. I don't mean any harm if you think that.
I see your point, however I seriously doubt changing resolution from 854x480 to 640x480 gives any major performance boost (I have no idea, where are you taking it from).
Secondly, fitting the image with size of 640x480 to 854x480 screen will just end up quite stretched.
Well if you have such a vision you can start by learning Android programming and development instead of sitting there and telling the whole world your vision.

I tried it. Since The time I used SJB rom Subway Surfers since it lags massively on JB. I had an 26 FPS on normal 20 on Heavy. But when I set res to 640X480 the FPS increase to 33-38 FPS which is great. So it worked that well. But the resolution won't fit the whole screen. It will be stretched but not much. In Emulators epsxe normally on Arc S Crash Team Racing has 54/60 on Selecting character on Adventure mode. While I gained more speed when reducing to 640X480. I can run it at 60/60 at 640X480. Thanks for noticing my idea since I don't have any money to go to oher devices. This Arc S was originally an Arc (secondhand) given to me by aunt. Then I swap to Arc S.

[Q] Best way to change screen resolution?

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"

Mod Boost+ to enforce 720p resolution?

Currently we can force games to run at 1080p resolution which improves performance and battery life. But displaying 1080p image on 1440p screen is not ideal as the scaling will be "lossy", instead, if we could have the option to make games run at 720p, the pixel scaling ratio will be exactly 4:1, having an even bigger gain in performance.
Is it possible to mod Boost+ app so that we could run apps at 720p resolution?
one thing that u can do is this here!
See this
BTW: i think it makes no sense...only for Games in low Energy and Performance boost
you can connect htc to the pc and use the wm size 1080x1920 add shell, which will make it run full system and full hd, boost + will automatically reduce the game resolution to 720p and then go back to the adb shell and type wm size delete, the htc back to 2k but the game is still 720p.

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.

Question Bad resolution on Cod Mobile.

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.
