Modify picture resolution ? - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is this a way to modify the resolution of the camera ? I found for video, but not for the photo part, except changing betweent 4:3 and 16:9
Thanks in advance

Maybe you can try to use another camera app like Open Camera.
It won't be as good as the stock one, but you can change the resolution i believe.

Why? For storage saving?

No, just to see if by default the max res is used

4608x3456 = 15,92MPx
So yes, it is.

Pixelated Image when zoomed on Gallery

My pictures become pixelated when zoomed on Gallery.
They look sharp if I don't zoom at all, but as soon as I zoom (Even a little bit). I can see the pixelation.
The picture is a 300 dpi one with resolution of 1748 x 2480.
But, with no zoom at all, they look perfectly sharp.
Is this normal? because the same picture looks sharp in my desktop monitor even though I zoomed it?
thanks

Also, I find that I'm unable to share this picture with whatsapp, bbb, etc.
But I was able to share my other pictures.
So, I reduced the resolution to 875 x 1240, and now not only was I able to share this picture with my friends,
but when zooming this picture on Gallery (after the resolution has been reduced), it doesn't get pixelated!
Is this a bug on Note 3 ? So I can't send picture with high resolution ?
Nu such issue on Quickpic. Give that a try.
Whatsapp downscales images severely by default, by the way.

btw this only happens to pictures that I uploaded from my computer, that have hi resolutions.
This doesn't apply to hi res pictures taken from the Note 3 camera.
This is weird.
Thanks I'll try Quickpic, but it still doesn't solve the problem of not being able to share hi res pics in whatsapp/bbm.
I'll test.
4752x3168 300dpi 13,9MB taken with a DSLR: Sharing works. The image looks horribly downscaled in Whatsapp due to their automatic scaling, but it works fine.
I can't test the Stock Gallery, as it freezes upon opening by default. It has no 'exclude folders' option, and I have one folder that contains 8392 saved websites+files(in folders). As you can imagine, that tends to overload the app.

thanks for trying.
my picture is actually a 300 dpi 1748 x 2480 JPEG file, generated from a photoshop file (It's a promotional brochure).

update:
I changed the Photoshop file Mode to RGB (it was CMYK originally), then save the file to JPEG and transfer it to my Note 3.
Now there's no problem in zooming in and sharing the file.
So I guess CMYK is not really compatible in Note 3/mobile?

Changing the resolution of Default to 2K without root

I tried the adb Shell to change the Size of default Screen size from 1080 to 2k. This i did with Mac. My phone is not rooted.
Open terminal
adb shell
Then type
wm size 1440x2560
and to go back to default use
wm size 1080x1920
It works with reboot as well.
If we change the density from 480 - 640 using WM density 640. Icons looks very small. I think by default Sony doesn't supply icons for that density. Not sure if someone already said this. You can issue the same using mobile terminal emulator as well. You can download that app from Play Store.
I am not able to take screenshot as i get "Couldn't capture screenshot. Content may be protected or the memory may be full."
Try and let me know. If it is already mentioned here. Apology. Please close this

With Nova Launcher. With the below settings. The Phone looks awesome.
wm size 2160x3840
wm density 800
The Phone looks awesome. But with default launcher icons are so small.
sweeet i am watching this thread. thx alot
This doesn't work with the mobile terminal with unrooted Phone. Just an update. You can use both Mac and Windows CMD for doing this.
what is the default pixel density of xperia z5 premium??
480

My apologies for being a complete noob but could you give me an exact procedure for how to do this on Windows? I desperate need to change the awful DPI on this otherwise perfect phone.
@Traczyc
Download android sdk tools open up adb shell enter the commands hes given and done. Its all the same on windows.

Thanks, I managed to figure it out and I can confirm that it works! This is just so awesome! It's just too bad that the screenshot function doesn't work on any resolution above 1080P.
I got also one more question. When you change the resolution using ADB, does the phone actually start to output content in that resolution or is it just an illusion?

2k resolution on YouTube becomes available, so I guess it works
Edit: One more thing, if everything has this weird scaling a reboot usually fixes this.
Happy new year!
I confirmed the change with some screen resolution apps and in YouTube and it both confirms it as 2k. I hope Sony makes this as permanent and with an option for real 4k as well.

"wm size" only emulates resolution, so real resolution is still FHD and 4K upscaling won't work when you are not watching image/video.
Real resolution is controlled by kernel:

Yes agreed. But I prefer having my resolution on the visual screen to be better than 1080p.

I'm actually new to using adb. Does anyone mind doing a step by step guide on how to do this? I would greatly appreciate your help and time.
Any screen shots and evidence, like the youtube app.

Lowering Camera Resolution

Hi!
Personally, I find 21 MP to be a bit excessive in terms of how much space pictures take up, so I'm wondering how I should downscale my pictures from this phone.
1. Lowering the resolution inside the camera app.
2. Get another app to shrink my pictures after I take them.
My concern is that if I set a lower resolution inside the camera app, I will only be using a portion of the pixels on the sensor or the app might use a really fast compression algorithm that produces low quality output. Does anyone know what really happens when you don't select the highest resolution inside the camera app?
Thanks in advance!)
I shoot in 16x9 which lowers resolution to ~16 mp

If you're rooted then I can help you, if not then I can't.
If you are rooted you can enable developer options within the moto camera app (not to be confused with developer options within the phone settings).
There are a few ways to do it but the way I used was the xposed module "moto checkbox".
If you use it just go to camera options and enable development settings (it says something like that). Be sure to go to statusbar options and check " use AOSP icons" too, else it'll replace your data indicator icons.
Don't touch anything else within the module because it wasn't made for our phone. It sounds like a lot but it really isn't.
I think you can download a modified moto camera somewhere but this was the easiest way for me since I use xposed anyways. If you can find a modded apk then you won't need root I don't think.
Anyways, once you get it working there'll be a little ladybug looking button when you swipe out the settings wheel in the camera. Click it. From there you have access to lots of settings. You can change resolution like you want and it doesn't use crappy compression. You can do this for video too, and the camera preview itself, and much more. Here's some screenshots. Have fun :good:
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Labs
Found it the apk! And apparently it works on most Android phones as well! Thanks!

I did not get you??
camera setting can vary based on different lighting condition. Best way is to use Default settings and max resolution.

4K option or forced 1080p?

Was wondering if this display shows native 4K all the time or has user selectable option for it?
Was super pissed with my XZ Premium being forced to render at 1080p in all but a few apps.
4K is only useful on this size screen for VR, so won't make the same mistake again.

Forced 1080p but you could make the xz 4k all the time through adb look it up

Thanks for the reply. You answered my question.
Actually, the adb method was only emulated 4K, not native. Still selected the resources from xxhdpi folders and blew them up. Doesn't even select the xxxhdpi higher resolution images for 2K. For the best I guess. then it would scale it down to 1080p before enlarging to 4K adding extra blur.

What command in adb can force this screen resolution?
For the XZ Premium apparently the following would have worked:
In an ADB shell:
wm size 2160×3840
wm density 820
In my case the wb size command gives me:
Error: bad size 2160×3840
Probably we need another resolution
After change it to 4K, the screenshot have an issue ( not capturing the whole screen as 4k but the screen at a corner with other space in black. How do you guys solve this issue?
wm size 2160×3840
wm density 820
In my case the wb size command gives me:
Error: bad size 2160×3840
Try....2160x3840
Not ....2160*3840
I just placed my xz2p into native 4k mode with the dpi set at 640/xxxhdpi. I really like the increase in real estate and the integer scaling makes everything look crisp.
That said, I've currently got two hiccups (not already mentioned, I also have the screenshoting issue hereto described) related to dpi change:
(1) The monochrome viewfinder is behaving strangely, but still serviceable (wrong aspect ratio & tap to focus doesn't move the focus indicator)
(2) The rotation animation is really broken and is either firing twice or has some other timing related issue.
#1 I can live with, but #2 is a real drag. I've turned the transition animations off in the dev setting, but it still looks really weird when i rotate.
Any ideas? It seems like sony has made some additional changes to deal with the 4k/1080p pop in and out. Simply setting the WM mode doesn't appear to manipulate those hidden settings. Perhaps one of the on phone apps needs to be disabled?
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz...20hz-quest-t3852052/post78603665#post78603665
...according to the xzp forums, its not actually 4k? how can one verify this?
Edit2: Saying things that will have me eating crow in no time!
I'm at least somewhat convinced the xzp peps are wrong. I have been swapping the phone from [email protected] dpi to [email protected] dpi. If they are correct either both would look exactly the same or the 4k version would look worse (because of the double scaling). It clearly looks better. A good test to try; make the icons and text as large as you can in nova launcher and switch between the two. If you look at the top and bottom of the dark ring inside the camera icon you'll see clear aliasing at 1080p and smooth curves at 4k. Just a reminder anything that is not a perfect multiple of 160 will always cause scaling on android. same with dpi values over 640.
I've got a pretty decent canon camera(xc10) with 10x optical zoom, once I find the charger for it I'm going to try to get some clean photos of the screen in the two mode and post 100% crops here.

Can you do that? Also a comparison of Instagram, or VSCO high quality photos?
