Important Information
A nandroid/Ti backup is recommended before trying the app.
Some devices/ROMs face a soft reboot when density is changed. There's a test in the app to check this. If density change indeed causes reboot, density is ignored in per-app profiles.
If your screen becomes unusable after setting a resolution, wait for ~15 seconds. It should revert to your default resolution.
If that does not work, reboot -> wait for 2 min (for the service to start) -> reboot again -> wait for service to start.
If that too does not work (I certainly hope that you won't have to do this), issue the following commands in adb shell (using a pc):
For JB 4.3 and above:
Code:
wm size reset
wm density reset
wm overscan reset
Below JB 4.3:
Code:
am display-size reset
am display-density reset
Also please note that uninstalling the app won't restore default display settings. So please switch the service off first, if you want to uninstall. Also tell me why you uninstalled it.
