Customizations, Mods & Tricks (Without Root) for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2

It really took me a lot of time searching
And writing this thread
So please do press the thanks? button if i was helpful


Tips

◽️ Change Display Size
Open Settings/Display/Display Size and Set it to small
Using small Display Size Makes Things a little bit Smaller
You can see more contents in the Screen

◽️ Change Animation Scale

(You Can Also use Quick Setting App to change Animation Scale.You just need to add animations tiles in quick settings
and from quick settings click on tile and choose your preffered animation scale)

Change Animation Scales to Make your phone a little bit faster
Use Adb and Run Following Commands

adb shell

settings put global window_animation_scale 0.75

settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.75

settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.75


Note:Recommended Animation Scale is 0.75 But You can use custom animation scales
I know there is an option of changing animation scales from developer options in settings
But you can only set animation 0.5 or permanently disable it
◽️Always Use Night Light

Blue Light Coming From Screen Damages Photoreceptors in our eyes .These Photoreceptors can not be Regenerated or Repared.It is Making us blind.
I have permanently turned on night light. You should also keep it on. Night light Filters out blue light.

Found a solution for front camera portrait problem in Gcam.

I have found a solution to this problem. Whenever your portrait mode malfunctions just click a rear camera portrait and front camera portrait starts working again. I'm happy now.
