What LCD Density do you prefer?

The title says it all. What lcd_density do you use most with your Note 4?

440-480...perfect

I always use 480

I like the stock 640. My eyes suck so 640 makes everything nice and big and easy to see.

Doesnt 440-480 make the phone into a tablet setting? I tried below 500 and it made everything think I was using an tablet instead of a phone.

Odd I never experience that issue. What were you doing for that to be invoke?

JB was the last Android version that had different tablet UI after that phones and tablets are same.

Thanks for letting me know. Edited my post so people don't think I'm an idiot :good:

475 seems to be my sweet spot

Never mind. Figured it out.

It looks fantastic at 480, but boy does it dork up TW. LOL

560 is perfect IMO.

how do you guys keep the Camera full screen? When I experimented and changed the dpi, the camera was no longer filling up the whole screen.

Xposed > app settings > change contacts (dialer), camera, gallery back to 640 dpi. Keep in mind you can change any app you like to any dpi other than the one you've made the entire device.

I swear there was a thread on the App Settings that should be reset for apps on the note 4 with modified lcd_densitys but I can't find it. I just read it yesterday and even a search through my browser history yields no results Is it just me or do our subconscious minds create false memories sometimes just to mess with us and see how the conscious mind reacts?
I'm running 560 right now.

Funny. Yesterday I put my DPI @ 580. Looked nice and compact. This morning, it looks like it's back to 640 (normal). Ha ha eyes already adjusted to 580. Guess I'll be lowering that number very soon. BTW, is there a rule-of-thumb for the number we choose for the dpi?Such as to keep the number even? Keep it on 10's?

Screen resolution change ?

I see that samsungs and v30 got the option to change screen resolution to save battery. Is that option in the G6? (I currently got an LG G2 and want to upgrade)

No all we got is the option to change the acpect ratios for the apps

I wouls like to know if its possible to do so somehow.....for gaming my phone overheats and starts throttling.... If i would run 1080p it should run smooter..

That's exactly why Im asking. Its a shame if you cant tune down the resolution and loose performance. Perhaps a custom rom may steal that function from the v30 now that is released.
My LG G2 never get hot. I wonder why new cellphones got this problem.

Yeh my phone geta hot after 15 min and loose fps....almost to unplayable state.... I need underclock cpu or lower resolution.... To keep it little more cool

Just tried the otpion from battery settings...game battery saver..custom. And for the game i play (mobile legends) i lovered resolution to minimum and i lovered the fps as well.. Its much much better.... But will test it more... It says resolution lovered .... So i asume it must be doing something... As i am sure we cant notice 2k and 1080p drop on such a small screen....but cpu should stay cooler... Test it as well and let me know how you get on...please
Note i launch the game from the menu itself...by choosing option play....

I think that only works with 3d applications but not affect daily use in wich the cpu/gpu need to move full screen resolution.

I still dont own the phone so cant test it but see a few videos/reviews about it and it render games at lower resolution. But only that, games, so all other drawing functions from normal aplications are not afected. It works as intended and indeed it help a lot in fast demanding games (like racing, shooters ,etc)

Yes like you said...did today hevay gaming over 1 hour.... No heat like before....warm yes...but no even close to it.... The resolution is noticeably lower..but i went to max fps and min res....
Defo a good feature...better then lower all res....
Cheers

I havent had any heating issues with g6. But resolution change would a thing nice to see with oreo update.

I bet we gonna get this in oreo update

https://goo.gl/UKaif3 This will help for the resolution but you have to be rooted

Oreo should bring resolution change option.

Non-rooted option: search Google for adb shell wm size and adb shell wm density commands. I haven't tried the size command but density gave me little bit nicer look and feel.

Bit of an old thread, but right now I'm running this res for better game performance:
adb shell
wm size 1080x2160
wm density 480
Notice that this causes the viewfinder in the stock camera app to be zoomed in and you won't be able to see the full image being captured. But I use the ported Google Camera which doesn't suffer from the problem.

here it is step by step with example for our loved G6... I didn't try it tho, and if you do, do it at your own risk!
can't wait to see if any of you isn't such coward, tries it, and tell us that it makes wonders for battery and heating....
edit: found the post here on XDA with the step-by-step guide!! give it a try someone!

Force any app to run at 120hz and 60hz when youre using apps you dont desire this opt

Import this little profile here to tasker
PLEASE TRY IT WITH QHD
Follow the steps within profile
Beta 2 will theorically will let you run strictly on 60hz and will run you back to 120 whenever you open an app that you desire to be refreshing at 120
Needed
Tasker
Patient
Knowledge on how to run adb commands until there's root.
If it isn't being force on let's say Gmaps but it is set to 120hz most likely it will drop down to 60 to save battery. And this can happen with other apps as well.
Please enjoy and report back.
Update Beta V2

gmaps is garbage, especially the navigation it doesnt even run at 20fps, i am still using old maps pre big update where the navigation was separate

Does it even run smoothly on pixels? It never ran smoothly on any of my phones, especially when zooming out during navigation, pathetic.

Has anyone successfully used this yet? I'm more interested in tying it to the power mode like high performance or optimized. Is that possible?

Yes it runs smoothly on pixel 4

I'm using this and working very well. Running all apps besides video playback apps and gmaps at 120hz.
Takes a second or 2 for refresh rate to change but I think this is a great idea in general, app controllable refresh rate

Damn this is what I wanted... I've never had tasker and don't know how to use it and don't want to buy it just to test something to find out it doesn't work at the end. Can you please test if the video app kodi can be run at 120hz please?

It should
Download the profile and import to tasker
Pick which apps you want to run in each and you're good to go.
That being said I installed kodi and it seems like 120hz.
Easy to tell 120 from 60.
I don't think worth running video playback apps in 120 as video won't run in 120 anyway.

I don't understand how to import this into Tasker. When I click on the link from my phone, it doesn't give me the option to open it with Tasker. Is there any way you can post the actual file here?

When you click link in thread, click import and then click yes, this should open in tasker. Then you click on choose apps and pick which apps to run in 120 and rest go to 60.
You have installed tasker right?

I don't think this is working at all for me. There's a noticeable difference when I enable/disable the setting manually regardless of whether the Tasker profile is applying (which it says it is).

Someone said it does and they're wrong. It seems to run at about 15-30fps, just verified on my Pixel 4XL.
Places where this is evident are any in-app animations, for example if you tap on your blue location dot, it will animate to fill the screen with blue. Or if you search a location and tap its card, it will animate to pull the card up. Or you can just fling the map around. There's no way anybody with decent vision can confuse this with 60fps let along 120fps.

Hi Kev,
first of all thank you for the thread's and tasker profile regarding the 120Hz tingz!
The 120Hz experience on the S20 line imho is ULTRA disappointing!
Not the Display itself but more the way stupid Sammy implemented it Software wise.
First disappointment, the limitation of only FHD+
but this was known even before the S20 line was officially announced so I actively decided to look pass that. Even though most people say FHD+ is enough and you don't see any pixels or whatever, I have to say coming from a S10 with a smaller display and and higher dpi, I do notice how much softer the image quality on the S20+ is! It's noticeably less sharp.
The Second disappointment no one warned me about is the fact that half of the apps revert back to 60Hz!!!
No one told me this! and I ****ing hate this. Maybe I was naive, maybe it's the fact that I had no experience with a phone that has a high refresh rate display, but to my understanding if I set my phones display to 120Hz, everything, the UI and all apps would be displayed @*120Hz! But no! this already is like on the leaked Firmware Screenshot wich shows the "Dynamic" option in the middle! it's not locked.
Just shows again how important root is. The ability to take control of the device you own and not giving control to stupid Sammy dev's...
Your method with tasker works fine, but I had no experience with tasker prior and I only using it during it's trial period. After the trial ends, I'm not going to buy the full version.
Is there maybe a adb command that can globally set the phone to a fixed 120Hz refresh rate? Since I don't need a per app selection.
again thank you for this tasker profile so far.

Thanks for the profile! But there is one issue: it's works only once for my S20, then after launching few apps refresh rate drops to 60Hz ((( Even rebooting my phone doesn't help (

Force change screen refresh rate to 96hz

Saw this on Twitter:
Use adb commands
Code:
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 96.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 96.0
Seems only support 1080p
But should be easier on battery
To revert back, just click on 60hz or 120hz in settings.
Do this on you own risk. I am NOT responsible for any damage this causes.
Edit: it seems that you have to manually revert by setting 120 and 60 through adb..

Clicking on 120hz didn't revert it back for me, I think you have to go to 120hz and type both commands by replacing 96 to 120 to revert it back.
That being said awesome tip, thank you, I will definitely use only that now.

Samsung should let a 90hz option

Yo guys! I have a S20+ here, Exynos version and found some interesting things, since the Exynos version has bad performance compared to the Snapdragon one, look what I found:

Understatement really...Samsung should allow 24Hz/30Hz/48Hz/60Hz/72Hz/90HZ/96Hz/120Hz refresh rates. They should also allow for 3000 x 1350p @ 96Hz because it should in fact work as the highest resolution relative to the refresh rate of 96Hz for the display at least based on 2400 x 1080p @ 120Hz far as I can tell by the math.

Edit: Wrong thread, sorry.

so in attempting to do this, i am noticing that although i set min to 120, it is still reporting 60hz via dev refresh-rate overlay, anyone got any ideas?

No. It seems to either be a limitation of the display itself or is defined in the build.prop, either way, I can only force the screen up to 60 Max on my Tab A4 S with a TFT LCD display.

Refresh only 60hz.

I have been trying settings and customations , but only seeing 60hz on tests. Anyone else run into this ?

No - it was real. Got extensive help on telegram, cleaned some things - and all is good.
One test is wrong, so Google ufo test works and shows 120.

Oh ok so it really was on 60?
