Hey!
I received my tabpro and i notice so much lag in games like simpsons tapped out. My girlfriend has Tab 3 and it runns perfectly. Is it about the resolutions, since i have 2560x1600. Is there any way to lower my resolution or do I have to install custom ROM.
And why my homescreen resolution is not that 2560x1600. My image is 2560x1600 and it looks nice in gallery but after i use it as my wallpaper on homescreen it gets blurry.
I thought this tablet is powerfull in games and so on. But i am very disappointed. All help is needed so help me to to get clean rom or just help to lower my resolutions.
Any suggestions?
I'd like to know this aswell.

It should be possible to change the resolution of an app with "app settings", an XPosed Framework module. (root required)
When you set an image as your wallpaper it gets zoomed in (as it has to fit screen and scroll horizontal), therfore, the pixels of the image won't match pixels on the screen anymore and get re-calculated, making the picture blurry.

I have the opposite issue from most users that want the screen to dim very low. I am using the Galaxy Tab S as a kiosk and would like the default dim level to only go to 50 or 60%.
This seems like it should be a simple change of a file but I can't find anything that will help (No app or Google search). I looked in the Build.prop this was not in the file ro.lcd_min_brightness so I added it but it did not help.
I have not found a app that will help me set the minimum dim level they all need to be done by a button push I need this to be automatic.
As a kiosk the display will dim to 50% then when a user touches the screen the screen will go to 100% after 10 minutes it will dim back down again to 50%.
Thank you
Raymond
The device:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S
CyanogenMod 11-2015101-Unoffical-nvertigo-changallwifi
Android Version 4.4.4
Kernel version
3.4.105-nvertig0
Xposed Module
Would the Xposed Module work to dim the screen to 50%?
I found this module Sense 6 Lockscreen Mods [KK] which talks about "Adjust Background Dimming"
Thanks
You might be better off with an lcd display, an oled display is not really suited to 100% brightness for 10 minutes numerous times a day, even if the rest of the time it is at 50%, you card just asking for burn-in damage.

These are the unites we have on hand. I also have an attract screen so burn-in should not be too bad we had to deal with burn-in for years with the old style monitors. I need to lower the display screen to 50% because if it stays at 100% the unit gets too hot and the battery does not charges because heat is causing higher resistance.
Is there any way to set the minimum dim level? would Xposed work using the module Sense 6 Lockscreen Mod? I have been looking and can't seem to find the file(s) that set the minimum dim level.
Thank you
It`s a pity somebody could not make an app for you, try some android app write software, with millions of android apps out there it must be relatively easy to make them.
But keeping the tablet awake and the brightness at 50% until somebody touches the screen then boosting the brightness to 100% and keep the screen on till, no touches have been reported for the next 10 minutes and then reduce the screen brightness back to 50% and wait for the next input.

The brightness issue is the last thing I need to get working. I have an app that puts the tablet at fullscreen with no access to the systems nav and I have an app that will keep the screen on and will allow the system to go to sleep (set time in the sytems settings) but when it goes to sleep the dim is too dark and the tablet looks like it is off. All apps that I have found do not adjust the tablet minimum setting, thel y are all activated by some type of manual input.
Again any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry but i am a bit brainless when it comes to things like that.
But i do have some advice, ask for an generic android app that will do what you want, not in the Samsung section, but in the general xda software/app development section wherever that is but their must be one, have a look though the xda main forum section, pm a mod and ask for directions.
The more specific to an brand and model the less help you will get, you want an general android app, that works on anything, not something that only works on the Samsung Tab S
Good Luck

Thanks for your advice!
If you like a tighter crisp viewing experience, I can confirm that adjusting DPI down to 540 is stable.
I use Texdroider DPI, works with 5.1 :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
WARNING: Be careful, setting too low can bootloop your phone
It's your phone, your responsibility.
Could you maybe upload some screenshots to see how it looks. Im a little worried about getting a bootloop

I am experiencing no side effect or lag with DPI change.
On a side note-
There are several Nandroid backup options available, I use online Nandroid Backup w Nandroid Manager
Does this require root>?

Yes.
By stable, do you mean LG camera works too!? I tried 520 over the weekend and it kept FC, didn't think there was a sweet spot!
@540 camera works great. I haven't taken it down to 520.
Good feedback thanks
Ok, so I did this like I have on any other device by adjusting the build.prop with root explorer and I entered 540. And now I am in a boot loop.. any suggestions?
2 hours later.. had to flash stock firmware.
This is mine at 580. 540 starts to make things a little too small for these old eyes.

thanks. The adb method causes weirdness like blank shorcuts. I may have to break down and root.
540 working great thanks
The only issue I have with 540 is you can no longer switch between saving to the MicroSD card vs internal in the LG camera app.
For the record
If you want to change to 540dpi I would without a doubt use Kernel auditor or Es File Manager. If you edit your build prop with Root Explorer you will boot loop! Root Explorer opens the G3/G4 build prop in a TRuncated mode because the file is too large and when you save that file it will only save the available truncated portion, BE CAREFUL AND PAY ATTENTION. Setting to 540 dpi will not effect anything on your device, all other posts and problems are due to other issues. Please read and save yourself the KDZ flash time, friends.
Thank you
It doesn't require root.
Enable developer mode, and usb debugging.
Use Minimal adb and fastboot
open the folder
shift right click open command prompt from there
type adb shell wm density 540
This works on any device without root
I did 540 dpi today and I have to say I really like it. Everything is a bit smaller now, it has more like a tablet feel rather than a phone. But you get quite a bit more content on the screen, and for myself it's the perfect balance between readability and usability.

Yup this is how I do it. Lowering the DPI was one of the main reasons why I wanted root. Now I don't even care about root. I love the LG software and tweaks so there is not much I would change. I do like some XPOSED Status bar tweaks to do center clock and hide some of the million icons (alarm, nfc, location, vpn, 4G/3G, Cellular strength, WiFi etc.). LG goes overboard with icons man. I just want a 4G/3G+Signal & Battery OR WiFi & Battery. 2 icons max. Plus a clock of course... an option for a Center clock would be awesome.
There is a big difference changing dpi with adb shell wm density vs texdroider_dpi app. For me at least, when i change dpi with adb shell, some apps don't work right, like:
ebay: the menu that shows your profile pic and links to home watching, etc is screwed up
amazon: product pics, when you enlarge, you can't zoom in & out, can only see the top left corner
tinycam: on a single camera view, the video feed is zoome in about 10x
with textdroider, all of those apps work properly. Did anyone else experience this?
I have done 530 with adb command, but not with texdroider, is it safe to change to 530 with texdroider?
They should both be the same output. Although not all density settings are equal. Some settings cause weird issues like what you posted. I think I use 540 and don't experience anything weird.
I saw the phone in a store today and wanted to buy it. But got annoyed that the smallest screen scaling option is still bigger than my p20 pro and feels like a waste of screen real estate.
Does anyone know of a way to make things on screen look smaller without rooting?
connect to adb and use wm size option. whatever size you set make sure aspect ratio is same as original device. it works better than wm density.
It’s even simpler than that. There are adjustments in display as well the option in developer options to adjust dpi.

You can change the minimum width setting to a higher number in developer options but it will mess up the SystemUI a little. Certain apps will become too large. It also resets every time you restart the phone. Huawei needs to fix this. It's one of the worst things about EMUI.
try using wm size. it works perfectly.
apart from some apps, like camera. use tasker to reset back when using camera
Thank you so much Guys! Is there any difference at all between using minimum with in developer options, and using vm size in adb? Cheers

It really doesn't work any better than using the Minimum Width setting in developer options and like you said it even screws up the camera app.
I'm using 600 DPI and I have no problems. I wouldn't recommend going higher than 640 as you might get glitches.
Does anyone have a link on how to use that wm size setting?

I like the MIUI wallpaper movie feature but would prefer the option of using custom movies. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything online, so in case anyone else is wondering.....
/sdcard/MIUI/.videowallpaper/
Copy and paste your homemade vids in there and then enable via the themes app. I was concerned the 4k vid might not work or even cause an issue like the sRGB one mentioned earlier, but I spun the wheel and I'm still here. Also, I'm on A9 MIUI 10 so there's a good chance it works on newer firmwares as well.
Thank you so much man! You're a real legend [emoji123][emoji108]!....I am using Seán Doran's The Pearl 4k here.

@wang1chung Themes app stops abruptly upon applying the video wallpaper now. Previously so far it was working perfectly. How to resolve?

I've noticed it's a little glitchy, specifically if you try to have one vid for the lock screen and another for the home screen. The resolution gets stretched instead of cropped.
What did you change since it worked? Does it crash with all vids, even the stock ones? Maybe try clearing the app data and starting again. Are you on A9? I'm using themes app v1.5.09

So I was able to successfully two different videos as my lock and home screens respectively (I edited the Lunasa 4k video which was originally in 1080x1080, into 2340x1080 i.e. my current screen resolution) but the problem with the lock screen one is that it restarts with every screen wake-up which is kinda annoying. I wished it would keep running in the background when the screen's turned off. That'd be what I want.
As for the Themes app version, it's v1.6.0.6. I'm on A10, MIUI 11.0.4. Global.

The video restart issue makes sense for battery saving but if you don't mind that, I wonder if it the AOD mod might help?
I think the resolution changes might be causing issues as the ones available through the themes app are 1080x1920.

How do I execute the AOD Mod and where to get it? I have the AOD Pro v4.4.8 btw but that's not the one u referring to here, right? Please help me run the video in b/g.
Nah, my screen resolution is 1080x2340 so 90% of themes (if not all) are optimized for this resolution only as the wallpapers fit perfectly on my screen top to bottom.

I remembered having a weird issue when I enabled ambient displays "always on mode" along with the lock screen movie. I thought it was what you were asking for but I just re-did it to confirm and it's not. The lock screen video is resuming where it last was right before it powered off. You said you didn't like it restarting, how about pausing?

Yea, my current lock and home screen video (which is the same) are already pausing when I turn off screen (and AOD turns on or even when it's off) and resuming from there when I come to home screen or lock screen which is perfectly fine as it should be and that's what I want actually. I don't want a single second of this beautiful ISS video to be gone during screen off. Although, the problem arises, somehow, when I try to select different videos for each of the screens. Then the lock screen one restarts and the home screen keeps pausing and resuming as it should. I'll try again once more else I'll keep this already-perfect single video aka "The Pearl 4k" by Seán Doran. [emoji847]
