[Q] Rendering some apps in 720p - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wondering if there is any way to make some apps for example 3D games render in 720p instead of 1080p. This could be usefull for more performance in some games that could use that or to conserve battery while gaming, because the GPU can then work at a lower frequency and a lower voltage.
I know it is possible to make apps run in custom dpi settings
But I would like to know if there is any way to run an app in an custom resolution like 1280x720 or 800x480.
My I9505 is rooted, running KT kernel and its on 4.4.2 touchwizz.

Real Racing 3 low graphics [SOLVED!!!!!!!]

Hi folks!!
As i see in real racing 3 game its run in low graphics some people used RR3 Graphics app and didn't worked for them like me SO! Here is solution for it :
What you need is :
ROOTED Xperia Z
Build.prop editor or root file explorer
RR3 Graphics App ( you can get it HERE for FREE)
Brain and hands (no download link )
What to do:
Open the Build.prop editor or find build.prop with root file explorer in /system
Find ro.product.model and replace C6603/C6602/C6606 with GT-i9505 save it and exit
Reboot!!!!
Go to RR3 Graphics app and enable it then select extra high or whatever you want
Play the game and you will see the diffrance youself:good:
Dont forget to hit thanks if works for you
This method works with some games that need another device to run better:good:
Maybe you can change ro.product.model to any other device you see it better and if you got the game more higher graphics tell me please
Can you use this to reduce graphics settings, or maybe even force-render 720p then upscale? I'd like to have a much smoother 60hz refresh rate, makes the game much more playable.

Yes you can. Just go to RR3 graphics app then set the graphics to low. :good:
But i have a problem with the game so you could help me
When i play the game on any graphic settings the game looks have bad resolution the edges of the cars looks ugly not like the screenshots in google play store do you have idea how to fix it?
up,just check option in developer settings -turn on 4xMSAA
solution of RR 3 low graphics working very well.
Do you mean aliasing? Then yes, the 4x multisampling AA will help. If possible, then rendering the gane at higher then 1080p then downsampling to native res will help reduce jaggies, but that may well be too much for the Z to handle, or at least deliver >30fps.

fps governor i9505

Is it possible to create a governor that uses frames per second for computing.
So for example
You set the gov to 30fps. The cpu works only to make stable 30fps.
You set gov to 60fps. The cpu keeps 60cpu stable
If there are for example areas in a games that doesnt require much power for 60fps it clocks down
And if there are games with fps cap it clocks down aswell.
This is a great idea i think. And it should be possible.
This would be a simple governor because the only governor setting for the user would be fps.

Not bad but our phone can't handle all the games at 60fps, so it's a matter of computing power too.
A variable could be added though so that when it detects fps >30 but <60 it tries to make it work at 30fps so that the performance is consistent.
But what about videos? Many videos are at 24 and 30 fps, so something must be done about this too.
Damn, it'd be cool but I think it's too much work for a result that might not be as pleasing as it sounds. :/
If a frame limiter exists for android (don't know if it does or not, just sayin') we could most likely get less heat and battery consumption when set to 30fps for certain apps without the need for a special governor.

Thanks for the reply. I hope someone makes that governor.

Samsung Game Tuner app to run games in lower resolution!

Samsungs Game Tuner was originally made for the S6 and Note 5 but it now supports the Note 4 and other devices. Without rooting to use nomone or xposed app settings and fiddling with dpi and resolution, you can lower games resolutions to achieve higher fps or save battery.
(FYI to those who disabled or removed galaxy app store) Requires Game Service from galaxy app store to run this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gametuner.thin&hl=en
After trying the app I think it may need a DVFS disabler or some optimization because I was only able to get smoother game play on Modern Combat 5 online when drastically lowering resolution to extra low which looked very pixelated (Offline play was buttery smooth on the custom low resolution @ 60fps). Lowering the resolution to the medium setting for the Walking Dead Season 2 and Real Racing 3 resulted in seemingly less fps. I know Android's optimizations aren't the best but that seems backwards to me. Unfortunately there are no options to force anti aliasing. Go ahead and give it a try and let me know what you think and be sure to leave a comment on the Play store or Galaxy app store and maybe Samsung will notice more users (Note 4 in particular but seems apparent for all devices judging by the comments.) and help.

So far I tried it on Real Racing 3. It made little to no difference, lower settings just made the game worse. The only game it really made a difference on was on Rop. It was slow on my Note 4 and now on medium settings with 60fps it's very smooth. I have Sniper Fury installed on my phone also but it ran smooth before using Game Tuner so I didn't mess with the settings for that game.

Change resolution to 1080 improve gaming performance?

Good day guys, we all know nougat comes with feature to change resoultion. my question is it really improve gaming performance if i will change it to 1080 and help to get higher fps?
Depends. This feature is already available on Marshmallow anyway. GameTools allows you to adjust resolution of games. The only difference is that Nougat affects the entire phone on resolution change, not just games.

Game resolution

Does anyone know of an app that lowers a game's resolution for better performance? I'm on lineage 15.1 and on stock I remember it had an option to but I need some kind of graphics tool for gaming.
you mean gltools? i dont see the point now since allot of game use Vulcan rendering

He is most likely talking about the built in LG game Battery Saver option that let you change the resolution from 2k to 1080p or 720p and had a few other options like frame rate and stuff
I don't know of any 3rd party "universal" apps that would let you do this unfortunately.
