I searched on reddit a guy recommended via ADB to change but not sure how it works and need more insight. He recommended "adb shell wm size 1080x1920".
How will this work and will it make content viewing experience better?

It will make it significantly worse, as its not the native resolution, that's a 16x9 res, the screen is 4x3. If it fits the whole screen everything will be stretched to heck

But is it possible to do? How would I do it only for inner screen? And if it's bad how to revert? I want to try for experiment purpose
Wouldn't really know off the top of my head but the inside screen is native 2176x1812 so at 1080p it would look terrible
Why would you possibly want to change the resolution to a non-native one? No non-native resolution will look good on it, as the pixel grid is just not setup for it.
It would be something like
adb shell wm density DPI (where DPI is a DPI)
adb shell wm size 1920x1080 (where 1920x1080 is resolution)
Not 100% sure how to target a specific display though, so you may need to fiddle about
But to run that command your going to need to root the device anyhow
Could have a fiddle in dev options to see if it helps too

The dev options min width changed the phone width but not the content.
My intention is to get better video size as sometimes black bars are too big, 50% of the video are black bars
Do you guys know if the inner screen's resolution as good as the outer screen? the icons and fonts look much bigger on the inner screen compared to the outer screen and outer screen is looking much better compared to inner. I would want to see same level of clarity on the inner screen as outer one.
Inside screen is 374ppi and outside is 402ppi, so technically the outside is higher "HD Ness"
But on mine seems pretty consistent size wise etc, but I've set the zoom to zero

You won't, and cannot get rid of the bars? Your watching 16x9 formatted content, on a 4x3 screen? There is literally nothing you can do about it.
If you want it filli g, then you need some playback software that will do pan-and-scan lime the old tv's used to do (but the other way around, putting old 4x3 content onto 16x9 screens without the side black bars)
Just deal with it, it is what it is. Wide-screen content will always have black bars on square screens.
After all its still a bigger 'virtual' screen than an s22! Even a s22 Pro, it's only 7mm smaller than the ultra at the end of the day (height of screen so viewing Co tent on its side)

Don't have to be rooted to run adb commands on any android. I have 2 rooted apps I'm using on my Fold 4 that I always use by simply running
a couple of adb commands. You can Uninstalle bloat on the F4 too but if you don't know what you're doing you may end up with a brick.
Here's example of different fitting

True you don't need root for a lot of stuff (I've debloared etc) but AFAIK or remember screen res is root only, I may be wrong, but I've not had need to do it since the s3 days..

I don't know if this is common knowledge to most of you or not, but you can a have a different image for each screen on your homescreen. To do so, let's say you have 5 screens, get your 5 images make them 320 480 and make them into 1 image. That's pretty much it.
Source: Better Android
nice tip .. just gave me an idea
what size do you save the final image as? 640x480?
Or use sweeter home and make image layers that fill each screen. you could even have a different wallpaper on each and some layered images on top that bleed across screens.
I havnt tried it yet myself but I would presume
This would not work because the sections overlap.
I think it would look really [email protected] if you faded all screens in between them. Which gives me an idea too....
that really can't work because 5 images of 320x480 come up to 1640x480, 41:12 aspect ratio. the wallpaper selector will only allow you to take a 3:2 aspect ratio section of that image, that's why the overlap occurs, and even if it did allow you to select a different aspect ratio, it would break once you had your phone in landscape mode
---edit---
the phone's aspect ratio is 3:2, the wallpaper selector allows you to get a 4:3 section, not 3:2

hmmm... wouldn't you just take the image and edit it so that the width is either twice, 3 times, or 5 times larger than the single screen resolution width?
i dunno... im not messing with images to try it, but it sound like simple math. just gotta have custom widths for number of screens. not change the resolution on the heights. and yea fading would look better than seams. if its done right....

that would be the idea, and that would be lovely, but, again, when you select an image from your own range of images, the wallpaper app asks you to crop the image and the aspect ratio can't be broken from 4:3.
something that MIGHT work would be replacing the stock wallpapers with a long width wallpaper that depends on the size of home screens, since those are automagically applied and you can't crop. all that would still break under landscape mode though, since width is now 480 instead of 320

Um, no. Have you even changed the wallpaper on the g1 before? That's not the way it works. The 640x480 image is split into 3 overlapping sections. (check out the Wallpaper template in my signature for examples.)
You can do this on Sweete Home, but the wallpaper stays on the same layer as the actual icons/content... so ytou don't get that cool scrolling effect over the top.

i just use a 1280 x 960 so it fits three screens in portrait (i dont use and aHome or sweeter). it works fine. using wallswitch with auto crop it shows the whole image across 3 screens perfect everytime
i dont worry about landscape mode even cuz if i hold the phone in landscape its usually that im typing onscreen or with keyboard or have a fullscreen app runnin
I've got this wallpaper from DeviantART in a zipped file in various sizes. I've tried cropping it down to about 480x800, but the phone's selection box when setting the image as a wallpaper doesn't allow me to select the whole picture, which seems silly since that is the phone's screen resolution.
I imported the full image to my phone and set the selection box to cover her entirety, but now the phone sets the middle default screen (out of three) to look like the second image below, and going to the left screen scrolls the background to look like the first image, which is essentially perfect; setting the launcher so the background doesn't scroll causes the picture to look like the second image.
Basically, I'm trying to figure out how I am supposed to get my background to look like the first image, when set to not scroll. Any insight?

While a multi-screen wallpaper will be 960x800, a single screen wallpaper should still be 480x800, AFAIK.

That came to mind (and would probably work), but I have absolutely no knowledge of graphics manipulation, so I wouldn't be able to continue the background gradient off to the left.
What do you mean continue the gradient? Just take the image you have and cut it down so it's got a 3:5 (0.6) aspect ratio and then add some empty white blocks to the side
I had to crop it and stretch it (because of the bar at the bottom) but there's an example
If it's set to not move when you switch home screens, nobody will see the white bars on the side
Try that and if it works post the original image and someone can make a higher res version

Oh durr... that makes a lot of sense. I was in the mindset that the background would be stretched out for whatever reason.
That actually worked really well; there's an ever-so-small sliver of white on the left side, but that'll go away with some tweaking. What's the easiest way to crop and add the white bars with specific dimensions? I have access to Photoshop CS5, but I couldn't find anything beyond resizing and simply cropping and hoping I get the dimensions correct.
I actually linked the original 1920x1200 image in the first post, hyperlinked on the second word. Here it is again: http://i.imgur.com/GvEgU.jpg
EDIT: Never mind! I figured it out. I noticed the parameters next to the crop bar. Photoshop is fantastic... thanks for your help Looie. Now, just gotta figure out how to remove the white strip.

There looks to be a significant amount of banding in those images. Is there any way to reduce it? Perhaps setting the image to 65k colors, I'm not sure.

I think that was due to my saving as a jpg. I did it as a PNG and the background is a smooth gradient like it should be.
The only thing I'm unhappy about is that, for the times that I'm at my homescreen with the keyboard open and the screen in landscape mode, the white bars are obnoxious and up-in-my-face. I don't think I really have a workaround for it unless I find someone more skilled at Photoshop that can continue the background on either side.

There are a issues with a few stock apps, so make sure to watch the whole thing if you can, as I demonstrate everything I've run into so far.
p.s. For rooted phones only and even though process is ultra simple, don't hold me responsible if you mess up your phone

doesn't the screen only support up to 480 x 800
ah... nvm.. it becomes smaller.
It works the same way as it does on your computer... higher resolution means everything will be smaller, but you will see a lot more on display. It would look the same on phones that were designed with higher resolution (such as Galaxy Nexus).

Yes, its pretty much fake 1280x720. Just lower the number using lcd density app for smaller looking screen.

the problem with this is, a lot of apps and stock apps such as the dialer, and sms, and maybe the keyboard (not sure) doesnt scale correctly, so the display looks bad, not worth the "fake" resolution, IMO.

It really depends on the user... to many, fake resolution may be worth replacing every single app they use, especially if 99% of the people wouldn't be able to tell fake from a true HD display. It really does look great, so replacing a couple of apps for me was a no-brainer.
This wouldn't be that much of a big deal for any other phone that has a resolution better matched to its size, but T-mobile's (and Sprint's) SGS2 with its Herculesque proportions could really use it.

There plenty of free apps to replace those though. Go Contacts is free, has some great themes, and has a dialer that scales properly. And there are multiple SMS replacement apps that are free too. The calendar doesn't scale right either, I barely use the calendar so I haven't bothered with replacing it but I'm sure there's an app for that too.
It felt very pointless, it just made everything small.

Can't you show how the cameras, youtube, etc. work in the higher resolution? What a drag watching people scrolling around home screen and facebook. such a waste of time. Do something useful! But thanks anyway it looks really good. Does it have 16/9 modes? show that too.
All your doing is changing the DPI on screen. The screen size is still the same.
Your essentially doing what Windows and many other operating systems has been doing for people for years.
Can't see well increase the dpi.. too big decrease the dpi.
The resolution doesn't change just the font and icons.

Exactly. Like for me my native 17" display should be 1280 x 1024, but everything is so small, so I need to change it to at least 1152 x 864. Just the opposite on my phone. 800 x 480 seems a bit too big, so making things smaller helps. Actually I "tricked" my eyes to the point. I haven't changed the dpi, but instead choose a font that was 15% smaller than the default. Now everything looks smaller, and I fit much more on the screen before I have to scroll.
i have a hunch about the new 720 "HD" display of the Galaxy Nexus/Korean SGS2 HD
i'm almost certain the screen is the same screen, it's just default to higher DPI, very similar to our PCs/Laptops when Windows or Linux boots up, reads the screen model, then it automatically select X resolution for that model
so, we can basically get the same results by setting our phones to run in that configuration as well.
I'm quite sure once ICS is out, we'll know more the innards of it and Galaxy Nexus
then we can just add SGS2 into the same list of screens as the Galaxy Nexus to get the same 720p resolution
What are the SamSung stock apps and how are they affected? (Keyboards, and Camera mostly, what else?)
thanks it looks great.
Thanks! Great stuff
very nice....
If some of the stock Samsung apps don't scale properly, wouldn't it be feasible to use the same apps designed for the 720p display like from the Note?
The only affected apps I have noticed so far: stock touchwiz launcher (home screens and app tray are at the top half of the display), smaller dialer, lower portion of calendar is covered up by a box, and music player doesn't open. Camera has not been affected at all. Market is much better. I will try to make another video showing different apps.

the only problem with this is that most applications on the market checks the screen resolutionor dpi and wont let you install.
i've tried this method before to use the qHD resolution and apps like tango in the market say "your device is not supported" and the install button is greyed out.
yet, after side loading the apk, app worked fine.
so it works but it's a little too much inconvenience when you nee to download and app quick./
I have a Poco F3. I upgraded from a LG V30. On my V30 it allowed you to lower the screen resolution to save battery life among other things. Can you change the screen resolution on the F3? I have not been able to find anything.

Alright so you have to understand some basic things first before proceeding:
1.You don't lower the resolution, you merge the pixels or their RGBs.
2.You need an AMOLED display, I hope you do.
3.Any system change requires root permissions and an app / terminal
4.To get into / (root partition) you need both root and a working app to do your job, both are dangerous.
5.Any 3rd party app must support root permissions
After all this, you will need:
A) Software with root permission supported, that can do that job
B) A rooted phone and sudo installed probably
I'm not gonna get deeper, these are just the basics.To lower a resolution you will need to merge pixels, which is a VERY HARD process that will consume time for no reason.

is that stretched?
In windows on a desktop if you go to System, Display, Display Resolution, you can adjust the resolution to fit your connected display. On my Old LG V30 you could do the same thing to improve performance / save battery. With the principle being the lower the resolution the easier it is for the GPU to draw. Like dropping a First person shooter from 4K to 1440p to get higher frame rate.
But instead of being one app on the LG V30 it was the whole phone, all apps and video's, etc.. would run at the adjusted resolution. Why cant it be done on the Poco F3?

Thanks . I thought it should be easy.
if you changed resolution even with adb the notch becomes weirdly stretched, the statusbar becomes weirdly big, letters get weirdly cut

yes if i put for example 1150x1950 i get black bars on top and bottom i would like it to be stretched do you have a poco f3 or?

you cant just change resolution and be done with it. you need to change density as well
use wm density and wm resolution to know the stock values then use ratio to set resolution and density

bro you know that density doenst change scaling of your screen right it changes only the size of letters apps etc i want basically fill to fit screen and make it like pc

oh... you are trying to change the aspect ratio...
and why are you using a higher resolution than the one that came with the phone? 1150... 1080...
Anyone knows if is possible change resolution in adb? Or someting
Pretty sure you used to be able to use the following command
For resolution:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920
For screen density:
adb shell wm density 390
Obviously adjust numbers to suit your needs.
I accept no responsibility for any issues which may occur if you use these commands
Edit:
Did a quick bit of googling and found this which echos the above:

I know this is quite an old post, but couldn't find a newer one mentioning if changing screen res works. Did these commands worked fine with the 6 pro? And is there any noticable difference in battery life/performance if it does work?
I'm interested too. Give it a shot and report back on the results? I'm in the car all day, otherwise I would
There is also the "smallest width" setting under the developers options menu. I set mine to 720 for higher resolution.

I just tried that and needed to pull out my magnifying glass lol. Everything was so small!!
I've got mine at 474 with font set to large... happy medium for me
Gave it a try just now and it does work, however definitely not what I expected. Basically adds 2 huge top/bottomn notches and brings your rendered screen in the middle. Bottom gestures are almost impossible, as you have to start somewhere middle in the screen. And for unlocking the device - now you need 2 fingers - one to trigger the FP scanner because it ends up in the bottom right and one on the actual Scanner. Also you end up with a weirdly placed camera cutout that you cant remove.
I might try to run my phone like this for a day, as I wanted to experiment how the battery behaves. Menus seems really fast and smooth, but can be because the animations have less space and are shorter . If anyone has an idea for a command to stretch the screen over the whole display, I'd love to try.
Edit: Never mind, dumb me didnt adjust for screen ratio not being what I'm used to. After taking that into account 1080x2340 works. Fingerprint and camera cutout issues still persist though.
While this may be a little small/sharp for some people, I've been running "Smallest Width" at 720, which seems to yield a "Display Size" of 320dpi, along with default font size for awhile and have had no issues with the camera cutout or the fingerprint reader. I also use the AOD Notify app to put a glowing ring around the camera and didnt need to make any offsets so I'm pretty sure my camera cutout is where it's supposed to be.
I ran 320dpi/720width for years on a few Samsung Note devices prior to my P6P so that's what I'm used to (I'm one of those people who run a 4k tv as a monitor with no scaling). You may need to play with different dpi and font combinations until you find something you are comfortable with. In rare situations I have needed to restart the device or clear the cache for all UI elements to resize correctly after a change.
After a couple days of testing (it did indeed took me 2 days to kill my phone) I figured that for whatever reason, on the Pixel (maybe exynos) lowering the render res does indeed save some battery. On 1080p I managed to get around 1%/h - 2%/h less consumption on Screen on Time, which for people like me who manage to get 5+ hours of screen on time can result in quite of a difference. I regularly end days with something between 30-40% battery, which is still really good but I won't go to a second day as the 2 hours charge time is really annoying me .
With the lower resolution I ended the first day with 57% and I ended up with 37.5 hours of standby and 8 hours and 40 min of SoT in a full charge. I even went further by reducing the resolution to 720p, but it is really obvious that Google never made a 720p phone - almost all UI's broke and even changing the brightness was a hassle. I also believe that it might have triggered some rouge process as my phone lost 10% battery in less than an hour, so I switched back to my original 1440p.
To conclude this - is changing your resolution to 1080p worth the broken finger print - depends. In my example, I would probably do it if I know I am going on a trip where lots of pics/videos will be taken and heavy navigation use, as my phone is more of a tool in cases like that and I always try to squeeze every bit of battery I can. If google does implement the ability to change the res though - I would definitely switch.
I just wonder, why does it made such a big difference on this phone, but it didnt for S10(the only battery test I found on a video). Is Android 12 harder to drive? Or are these LTPO panels more intense on the GPU? Or is it even exynos/mali GPU not as efficient as SD on rendering UIs? If anyone wants to chime in - Id' be glad to hear some opinions. ( Or maybe I just used my phone less.. that would be the worst )
P.S. Just to say this was done on 60hz and that your milage might vary, if you decide to try. Everyone's usage is different and in my case I work from home - so WiFi connection (although router is far) but horrible signal, as I am a top flat in the UK (worst case scenario). The setting I used for the adb command is 1080x2340 and denstity was 400, although density is preference I guess and I believe wont affect battery.

For what it's worth, with Android 13 Stable and the Kirisakura custom kernel, you can now change to 1080p from Android settings.

And doesn't break the fingerprint scanner like Easy DPI changer does
There must be a way of doing it without opening the bootloader, right? Or do you guys think it's impossible without breaking stuff like the fp scanner? I'd love to lower my resolution but I really didn't want to lose all my stuff and have to reinstall everything at this moment.
Another method to adjust screen resolution/size/dpi: I noticed the "AOSP Mods" module for LSposed/Magisk has an option in the "Miscellaneous" section for "Display resolution". The slider does work and changes the resolution on my P6P without modifying the smallest width developer setting. YMMV

Thanks a million for this. The module fixed my screen flickering - couldn't go over approx 50% without flicker . I set the screen brightness from within Miscellaneous. Only problem is that I can't access Miscellaneous again without module force closing (other options are fine) - looking into the reason for it.
