[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:

Help with resolution..

Hi all, I recently picked up the 10.5 inch model of the tab s, and I think I may have a problem with my screen resolution.
I was looking for and downloading different HD wallpapers, when I noticed that none of them really fit the screen all that well or looked as good as they should with a screen like this. So I searched around different sites to find my screen resolution and every one of them said my screen was running a 1280x800 resolution. That's WAY below the advertised 2560x1600 resolution this screen should display. Naturally I was a bit concerned and couldn't really find anything related online, so I thought I'd come to you experts here and see what you make of it.
Any help or info you guys/gals could offer would be greatly appreciated!

download CPU-Z software from playstore and check...
the resolution in pixel are usually the 2560x1600 resolution. and in dp resolution as 1280x800

I didn't take into account that they may be talking about dp. I suppose that makes a bit more sense. Not with the tablet right now so I can't check cpu-z, but when I have the chance, I'll definitely check it out and report back what I find. Thanks for the help, and quick reply!

Glad that I could help

So I checked cpu-z and it does confirm the 2560x1600 resolution. I guess I'm still a little confused though as to what resolution I should be downloading wallpapers at? Every site I go to says my resolution is 1280x800, even though they have 2560x1600 as an available option. Downloading both shows clear superiority in the 2560x1600 resolution, but the sites continually direct me to download the 1280x800 options.
Is this normal? And if not, what should I do?

I just usually download the biggest size... and crop it during choosing wallpaper...

That's what I've been doing. Is it normal though to suggest the 1280x800 resolution with the much better option is available?

I also usually do what edan does, either look for the correct resolution for the tab (2560x1600) or highest one available and crop/resize/stretch. No need to be confused with auto-detection, since it is a tablet and detection may not work correctly.

Yes it is, since your browser tells the website that you are using 1280x800 resolution.

For full resolution use this app (find it in live wallpaper):

I've used this app on my nexus 10 for a while. Best way to set your wallpaper for sure

I suggest you try going to interfacelift.com it's the best wallpaper site out there with natural taken shots from powerful cameras or edited digital ones and it automatically detects your resolution and sticks to it.

[Q] [ROOT] Its is possible ZE550ML make 1080p?

It is possible the ze550ml 720p make 1080p resolution?
I don't know how...

no i dont think it is possible... Even if u root ur phone you wont be able to change your resolution from 720p to 1080p... Its a hardware thing not software...If this was possible no-one would buy 1080p display variants and everyone around here would be changing their 720p display phone resolution to 1080p You can change your screen's dpi (makes things look smaller/bigger) but not its resolution... if you want to change dpi here is thread (see #8 adjusting dpi without root):

Lowering res to 1080p

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

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.
