How to change display resolution? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any reliable way to change display resolution to 720p?

Anybody?

you can change your dpi by manually editing your build.prop, or use an app like textdroider dpi.

The question is about screen size, not density.
OP: try this. You have to be rooted.

Tried it but did nothing, may be it doesn't support latest OS as it has not been updated for a while.

Many new phones have this feature built in for saving some battery specially during games.

Oh that's what I thought. If you find how to could you share please?

You can use SecondScreen for 720p.

This one is working, root required. Here you have some presets and you can edit the values as you like, too.

Both of these are interesting options. I am testing, there is a bit lagginess though.

LCD density with market fix!

To anyone who wants a higher LCD density on our beautiful screen but can't stand the market issues, I recently found this app on the market for only $3. It changes the density and edits the market to make it think the density is 240 so there are no compatibility issues . Definitely worth the money, so check it out if you want:

I personally use 200 because it looks nice but doesn't affect the grid size on my homescreen, which I like at 4x4.

Correct me if I am wrong as I am newer to this but could the same thing be accomplished with a build prop edit?

Yes, but the awesome thing that this app does differently is that it fixes the market compatibility issues that changing the density causes

What do you guys do about the stock dialer messing up if you change the density?

Not that I know of. For some reason all touchwiz type things don't play nice with raised density.

There's nothing you can really do but either get a dailer replacement on the market or just run and AOSP rom because they have no problems with higher density.

Other than for visual purposes, what is a benefit to have this. I have never used lcd app to change my density. I have used something similar on my vibrant but everything looked too small.

I can't think of anything really besides maybe that it lets you see more things at once on the screen in some situations (like in your contacts or browser). It doesn't really look too small (IMO) on this screen because it's so big lol.
Yeah. Fron what ive seen it seems to mess with other things, such as dialer being messed up and market issues. If i can avoid purchasing an app i will if i dont necessarily "need" it. Thank you for your reply.

220 was perfect for me. Made icons large and the text large so that my screens would look the same. Using exdialer since stock dialer didn't stretch. Perfect now with extra resolution.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The pixel density of this screen compared to it's size is exactly 206 (check gsmarena or do the math). Hence that is what I use for DPI. It really showcases the screen as it fits so damn much and everything is legible and sized right.
Ofc, on stock, this doesn't work good.

thats how you do it manually with market fix.

Resize it to correct resolution you need, which likely differs by how you have your wallpaper set up. ie. infinite scroll, no scroll etc.
Paint.net, GIMP, Photoshop, whatever. Not sure what app can do this on the phone itself though but I'm sure if you look you'll figure it out.
Problem is I generally set from gallery and irrespective of the Res. Of the wallpaper it always crops.
Am I missing something ? How do you set wallpapers??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Get this
Check out "Wallpaper Wizardrii" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardriI
And when you choose set, choose scale, it will set the entire image as your wallpaper
Haven found a way to do it otherwise unless image is already the exact resolution needed. This app is easy to use tho, and there are MANY others like it, check some out
If I find a way to do it from stock, gallery I'll let you know, but I dint think it's possible without cropping. Maybe try quick pic as you gallery? I think that has, ability to resize to specific resolution and set image as wallpaper but I haven't used in a while, quick pic is a great gallery app

You have you screen res changed?
If you have your resolution changed that greatly affects many apps "compatibility" issues in play store
Yeah. mine is set to 280 Dpi... It affects play store app compatibility ?

Screen resolution?

What is the screen resolution? IE there is 360, 600, 720, 800 etc. I just got it today and I am messing with some theming and don't want to waste time on the wrong ones. I'm theming systemui right now

I believe it was 320. I got mine set to 240 now Do u think you can mod the stock dialer and camera app to fit that!
Thanks ben
Can you explain why you lowered the dpi and how you did it. . One would think one would want more dpi not less?

The lower dpi = higher "resolution" gives you more screen space smaller icons looks way better then the stock huge icons.
You should try it.
I did it with rom toolbox under screen density.

Themers will understand. The Numbers I listed are all in the stock rom, but only one needs to be themed

Changing DPI properly on stock Rom ZE551ML

I am rooted but I didn't unlocked bootloader yet. I tried third party apps to adjust dpı but they didn't changed it. I tried command prompt from Windows it changed it with a little bugs like swiftkey and the photo of the user in status bar. So how can I adjust dpı properly?

8) Adjusting DPI without root

To adjust the DPI follow the steps below, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT.
NOTE: I have used the DPI 250 here you can adjust the DPI according to your own taste. The default DPI is 480
CLICK TO HIDE CONTENT
1) Enable USB Debugging
2) Start ADB and check if you see your device by typing
Code:
adb devices
3) If you see your phone go ahead and type
Code:
adb shell wm density 250 (or your preferred setting)
4) Reboot your phone to apply the effects system wide.

I haven't tried Swifkey but I don't care for it anyways. Too buggy all the time. I have no issues with any other apps though. Unfortunately I don't remember the last setting I used cause I went in steps until it was where I wanted it but I think it's currently at 320 or 350 dip right now.

Dpi change

Can we change the default dpi on Mate 20 x. The developer setting to change the width only make the font smaller but everything else still big, like the icon, home screen and status bar etc. Any method for root or non root.
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
Some interface elements such as the ones you mention are not affected by changing the dpi setting. There is no way round that.
It's a bug, it worked great on the Honor Note 10.

Hi guys, I posted this in another thread before I found this so I'm going to copy-paste what I put there:
Hey guys, I've been thinking of getting this phone but after trying it out at a store and realizing that the navigation buttons and notification doesn't change size, I'm a lot more hesitant to get the phone. Is it possible to change the sizes of them? Any luck using ADB to change the lcd.density? According to this other post in the Mate 10 forums https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76106073&postcount=32 it's possible. They did edit the build prop directly though. Not sure if this is able to be edited through ADB so no root is required.
Would appreciate any answers to this! Thank you!
Is there really no way around it?
