[REQ] Stock camera with 480 dpi

Is there a way to make the stock camera look normal while im using 480 dpi on the whole phone? Would be nice.. or is there another camera app i could use that pops out just as quick as stock when i double tap the home button?

Have you tried the 480 dpi one? As i read from it before, not all the functions worked.. how is it?

Dear,
yes i put the 480 dpi. It works fine into some apps but it's really not compatible with TW.
Some apps are fine, like i said, but some apps aren't good. For instance : in Facebook, the size of the text is good in 480dpi (so, it's smller) but the size of the pics are the same than stock dpi. So, you have a little text bug big images... Not good to see :s

Oh im sorry.. i think i confused you... i was talking about the camera from the thread that was linked in post 3. Iam already using my phone in 480... the only thing that bothers me is the camera.. i was wondering if you have tried the camera thats compatible with 480 dpi and how it went?

How do u change the dpi in apps? Are you using xposed or something?

Aw ok, i didn't understand the 1st time. Sorry !
I didn't try the camera's tweak. Every other thinks didn't fit right, so i prefered to return to stock dpi.
Have a nice day

Hi Guys,
If you still need it, Check out my Camera MOD. I created 2 versions, one for 540dpi and one for 480dpi. I offer these based on both the original app and the version modded by amk19.
If you require another dpi setting, let me know and I'll see if I can add thatone as well.
Cheers,
Bane.

[Root] [Guide] How to change your Resolution & DPI on AOSP ROMs

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, displays not working, or your phone melting *
Now with that out of the way, hello! Welcome to my first guide-thingy. As it is my first, I apologise if there is a mistake or if I have left something out, but this process is exactly the process I have used.
Recently I've had a few people ask me about changing their phone's resolution and DPI as said in my signature, so I thought I'd write up a guide for people to use! The ROM I've done this on is the BlissPop AOSP ROM but the process should be similar for most if not all other Custom AOSP-Based ROMs. I am UNSURE if this process works on the stock ROM or any stock-based ROMs.
Prerequisites:
- Root access
- Root File Manager & Explorer (Such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer)
* Root Browser: https://tinyurl.com/aytbttu
*ES File Explorer: https://tinyurl.com/cd4u27q
- NOMone Resolution Changer
* https://tinyurl.com/kjg63jn
- OPTIONAL (For Multi-DPI Patch) Latest AROMA (Now known as Open) GApps Package
* http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071
Lets get started!
Firstly, the Multi DPI Patch. It's not essential but allows apps to be properly resized to match your custom DPI, and in the latest Google Apps package it has an option when installing to install a multi-DPI patch for people who are using custom resolutions on their phone. Like me, I'm not using 2560x1440 (Stock 1440p resolution) I'm using 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution @ 370 DPI.
Changing your Resolution & DPI
1. Download NoMone Resolution Changer from the Play Store above (It's free) and grant root access
2a. Open a root file manager (Like Root Browser or ES File Explorer (You have to enable root-access for ES) ) and navigate to the /system folder on internal storage. Find your build.prop at the bottom. Now, you're going to want to create a backup of this file before we do anything as it defines how things work on the phone, so create a copy and move it somewhere safe from being wiped (Like an external SD card)
2b. Click on build.prop and open with a root file browser
2c. Find the line under the #ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section that says ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx and change 560 (default DPI) to something like 430 if you want the font and stuff to stay the same size or 370 to make it smaller and hit save, grant root-save access if required. Then, open the file with another file manager to verify it's saved and changed. Adjust the DPI to something that you like, but be cautious as not all DPIs work properly (I only know of 370 & 430 that have worked for me). This step may vary depending on how your ROM sets out your build.prop.
3. Set your desired resolution in NOMone Resolution Changer (Mine is 1080x1920, remember to do it backwards so 1080x1920 not 1920x1080 otherwise your phone's GUI will be landscape and not portrait, and will go off the screen)
3b. Set your desired DPI to match the DPI you put into your build.prop file and hit apply (Grant root access if requested). The app will apply your settings and change your screen to match the new settings. It will then prompt you if you'd like to keep these settings, hit yes or no. If you hit yes, it will give you an option to change back the settings after a minute so you can see what the phone looks like at that setting.
*This next step only applies if your ROM has an option to manage the DPI setting itself, like BlissPop does, otherwise skip it*
4. After you've applied your custom resolution and DPI, go to Settings (Yes everything will be massive-sized don't worry) -> Display & Lights -> Scroll down to the bottom, hit advanced Display Settings, and change the LCD Density DPI to match the one you set in your build.prop and NOMone app.
5. Hit yes to reboot or reboot your phone if not prompted.
6. You're done! Your phone should reboot and apply your new resolution and DPI changes.
I have attached some screenshots showing off the BlissPop & Facebook UI at 1920x1080 Resolution & 370 DPI, as well as an example change in the NOMone Resolution Changer App. Lowering the Resolution and DPI is beneficial to those who want to squeeze more stuff onto their screen (it enables lots more text on the screen that isn't really big.) As well as gamers (The lower resolution doesn't strain the GPU as hard.)
If you have any issues, just delete the build.prop you edited from the /system folder in TWRP and copy over the original one you backed up and put it in the /system folder.
Known issues caused by this guide:
- Boot animation may stretch when booting.
- Recent app previews will also be larger for some unknown reason, this is a small side effect however.
Hope this helped!

Now ...again...me....you forgot to mention borked gigantic recents and borked bootanimation on boot.....you should add it to issues list...IMHO

oh...even using 1080p bootanimations doesn't solve that issue....i've never looked deeper into it myself....but tried many workaround w/o succes
/LG-G3/d-855/16Gb/Titanium Black/

I've used this application to lower resolution on my G3 to 1080p but found that the small text and other stuff was blurred because it's disproportionate to the amount of pixels, since 720p would be a more accurate number to downscale to on a 1440p screen (1/2).
Do you notice this "fuzziness"? I forget exactly which DPI I set it to when I did go down to 1080p, but the other thing I realized was that the performance gain was marginal. I did not do long-term battery testing with this, though. So the verdict is still out on whether or not there is any gain there.

you might not gain much or if any juice on battery....but...performance boost is noticeable on.my side...I forgot how it feels at 1440p ...and switched to for a moment....oh gosh....why do apps take longer to open?....back to 1080p and it flies again...
Oh...you must have set too low dpi to get blury text...I don't even know how that looks like...and if you'd change it to 720p your dpi would be around 220 or something ......

I had tested both normal applications and some 3d games that sometimes bring down fps and neighter seeemd to be any better, but I will have to test this with Bliss as that was some time ago.

Hmm, you could be on to something. I need to test with your recommended DPI to see if it fixes the blurriness of small text. Thanks!

some games are badly coded...hence there's no improvement

So I used the recommended settings of 1080p and 370dpi and the blur is minimized but not completely gone. Bearable, though.
I'll be testing out some other performance things and more long-term battery savings. Thanks again for the write-up. Hopefully it will help with people willing to try out different resolutions and DPI's.

Sorry, but this is the kind of thing that cannot be shown on a software level. Screenshots will not work.
The images and text is just not as crisp because since it's not 1:1 with the pixels it will naturally display fuzzy. This is unavoidable but can be lessened by using better ratios (ideally 720p, but that would just be too low) and different DPI settings. If you do not see this yourself then you may lack the eyesight. Again, it's not very noticeable and the positives may very well be more beneficial than having a perfect 1:1 ratio.

You could try going to 1080p @ 430 DPI. This makes the text similarly sized to the default 560 DPI, only on lower resolution. If you did this, the GPU wouldn't have to work as hard, and your text would still be the original size
But yeah it's worth playing around a bit. I haven't noticed any fuzziness at all at 370 DPI, and I do a lot of reading on my phone.

If you lower the resolution on any lcd screen made for a specific resolution it will make things fuzzy. You can even do this on your computer monitor.
Everyone should expect this as it is not 1:1, but I still consider it pretty useful.

you really have to look very very very closely to notice anything IMHO
And If that was written somewhere...most people will fall under mass hysteria and take it as granted .....that's a fact....i'm enjoing my huge screen like I did before on 1440p ...it makes no difference for me and side by side comparison with my co-worker's G3 which is all Stock except rooted(by my advice)....makes no difference at all....none, 0,....he didn't notice that I changed anything except THE Beautiful Rom and pure raw power against his Stock G3...so...don't complicate to much....

screen resolution adjustment

Is there any way to port over options to adjust the screen resolution I'm surprised this tablet does not have it already the tab S2 had the options in the settings to lower the resolution to save power and higher it when watching videos. I was wondering if there was any way to put this over and install it on the Tab S3 or if it has been done already. Thanks

He's referring to the minimum screen width in developer options. It starts around 768 and I keep mine at 786. See image.

Thanks, I also did this. Seems a great fit and seems to run faster too (though turning off the CPU limit probably helped)

How do you turn off the CPU limit ?

It's in settings - device maintenence
Press on the battery icon at the bottom

I'd also recommend adding Greenify and L Speed to the unmonitored apps section there too if you use em which you should

Anyone found a way to change the screen resolution for Games?
They look weird and compacted, almost as a 4:3 format, instead of 16:9
The stock 2048 x 1536 puts it in a really weird aspect ratio.
EDIT
NVM found this, it does the job
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-game-tuner-update-removes-a-ton-of-useful-features/
Nope, while that sort of do the trick, but it doesn't produce a crisp image.

This works for me https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-game-tuner-3-4-04-android-apk-download/[/url]
Set the Res to 100 percent in this apps settings

It's the only one unless you are trying to tune pubg mobile in which case there is a specific app for that ?

Technically it is,
I wont be spoon feeding everything to you on exactly what to do use google
But look in developer options, display settings else
use adb to pull your build.prop look for the tablet description/ feature set, edit on pc and set it to the one used for phones
then sideload it back to phone
reboot and enjoy
(no one knows hoe the fold will handle it YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR GET BOOTLOOP)

Have you tried going to the display settings, then screen layout, then selecting standard view. Split view makes your phone act as a tablet.
