About this app:

Refresh Rate Mods

  • Change default refresh rates
    -Easily change the overall refresh rate settings of devices supporting multiple refresh rates.
    -Set supported mid refresh rates as the maximum refresh rate limit for battery savings (e.g. 96hz instead of 120Hz).
    -Quick settings shortcut
    -Tasker plugin support

  • Motion smoothness mode switcher(Normal, Adaptive or High)***
    -Set you device motion smoothness mode to stationary refresh rates (high mode) for better smoothness if so desired on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness with a little trade-off to the battery.
    -Apply adaptive mod on device that don't natively support adaptive mode [premium]
    -Tasker plugin support

  • Per-app refresh rate settings:
    Set different refresh rate settings for every app either adaptive or fixed(stationary) [premium].

  • Motion smoothness on power saving mode (not working to all devices with OneUI4.**+, test first). ***
    -GMH will apply a workaround to bypass 60Hz limitation on Power Saving Mode (PSM) on supported Samsung smartphones.
    -Automatically apply workaround when PSM is enabled [premium]

    Note: Unfortunately this workaround is blocked and not working in OneUi5.0 on S22 Ultra
    Please check this post and this post for other workaround(s).



Screen-off Mods:
  • Force to Lowest Hz
    -Force the lowest refresh rate on screen-off or Always-On Display(AOD) to improve standby power consumption a bit.

    -Select refresh rate to set for AOD/screen-off[premium]
    -Tasker plugin support.

  • Auto apply power saving mode during screen-off ***


  • Auto disable Autosync***


  • Quick-doze mod***
    -
    Quickly enter doze mode during screen-off that can not be interrupted by motion [premium]
    -Tasker plugin support


  • Auto SENSORS OFF (experimental non-root workaround)
    -Device sensors will automatically turn off while screen is off until the device is unlocked to help minimize battery-draining motion-triggered wakelocks while device is not being used [premium]
    -Tasker plug-in support
    - Supports up to OneUI4.* only

Others
  • Battery protection mod (Experimental)***
    -Option to set maximum charge to 86%-95%(for OneUI4+)[premium]


  • Quick resolution switcher***
    -Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile
    -Tasker plugin support


  • Customizable refresh rate monitor
    -
    Use statusbar or overlay which you can place anywhere on screen.
    -Tasker plugin support


  • Net speed statusbar indicator

OneUI inspired UI. Dynamic theme and Icon. Manual language selection

Note: The premium license is on a per device basis (not per user).


***these marked features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)

Galaxy Max Hz background service is highly optimized. Background battery usage p is very negligible .

Info:
This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup or root. Just tap OK the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time. If OK button is not visible, just tap the blank space on the lowest portion of the dialog.

If google play protect will prompt during install that the app is built for older version of android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections, you can ignore it and proceed to the installation. For privacy related concern, please refer to FAQ No. 3.

@tribalfs,
Unfortunately, when playing video in the background (i.e. Youtube Vanced in PIP mode) with 10Hz min adaptive refresh rate, the video starts lagging and gets choppy!
Also, Samsung TV Plus is not watchable with min 10Hz refresh rate, it is okay with 24Hz.

I'll check. But this is only happening on PIP mode right?
Yes, on PiP mode.
But, on all modes, including full screen for "Samsung TV Plus"!
Edit: also affects Netflix, Disney+ and Prime in full screen mode...refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy/choppy.
Youtube seems to be fine though.

First app I downloaded. Great work my n20u worked flawlessly. On my s22u and the improvement is small but significant. Not touching the screen whilst playing video it seems to hit 10hz and low framerate videos. There's a work around using bixby but not ideal. Can I add video playback to a whitelist?
I sent private message.
Thank you.

Same thing. Also noticed choppy behaviour in simple animations such as loading circle in different apps. It's as if it wouldn't raise the frequency fast enough and got stuck in 10 Hz

Been playing with this
When I have it in adaptive mode, and any videos are playing if it drops below 120 everything its choppy and laggy.
I'm using the latest version downloaded off the web page.
Plex is laggy at anything but 120 and it drops to 10 real fast.
Video in games gets choppy on adaptive and the rate drops to 10.
Do i have something configured wrong?
for rght now I set it to high with everything else going to power save/10 when the screen is in AOD.
The rate doesn't really seem to make a difference unless I'm watching stuff so far.
I'll see how the battery life is with it set to 120 all the time when the screen is on while I use it, and 10 when I lock it with the AOD on.

Something odd is going on, I have it set to adaptive with
max 120
max 10 for power saving
min 60 for adaptive

it wont go below 120 now. BUT, if i set min 10 for adaptive it either does 120 or 10, nothing in between.

Powering off still works though, it shows 60, then hits 10, then the notification goes away.

the little status icon never drops under 120 now unless i have min set to 10.

What did I mess up or what do I do to fix it?

Are you using v7.14.33 ?
I can confirm that Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Samsung TV are working fine, refresh rate drops to 24Hz lowest with 10Hz min adaptive.
However, just tested an mp4 video and can confirm that refresh rate drops to 10Hz and video gets laggy (do not use Plex, so can't test).
Edit: playing YouTube in the browser also gets laggy as refresh rate drops to 10Hz.
Maybe best to keep the min adaptive refresh rate at 24Hz for now until all apps are optimised.

yep, 7.14.33. It also stopped changing rates except for 10hz and 120hz, it will not use anything inbetween unless that's the max setting.. So if I set the min at 24, it would only use 120 (or what ever I set the max to) and 24, nothing in between like it did when I first installed it. It's just strange. 60Hz standard is smooth too though, any lower is choppy with UHD and FHD streaming. So unless something is really screwed up with my apk install or the way it's configured I may use 60/120 adaptive then 10 for screen off.
I also cleared data/cache and reset everything with the same results.
*shrugs*

    Hi @tribalfs I've noticed that the refresh rate gets stuck at 60hz when I lock my screen or use an app that has the per app refresh rate configured. I have to restart the device to get it back up. I tried changing the settings and this seems to be an issue with 96hz only. Its working fine with other refresh rates.

    I'm using S22 ultra with One UI 5 April update. Request you to please check this out...

    -- Edit --
    I was calibrating my phone's battery by charging it from 0 to 100 and post that this seems to be working fine. Thanks!

    Just installed official Android 13 with Oneui 5 and it seems like i don't have the possibility anymore to keep the refreshrate at 120 hz when in battery saving mode. Any fixes?
    Oneui 5.0 /Android 13 arrived yesterday. Give our friend tribalfs some time. Dont know if He has the Update yet...
    Seriously, some people are so impatient.

    I am sorry for this bad news. OneUI5 already patched the bug (a good and welcome bug) that is being used by GMH to bypass 60 Hz limitation. We didn't know yet if we can find another one we can use to automatically bypass 60 Hz limit.

    The good news is, the following extra step remains working based on our test:
    (1) Doing a dummy video call to any number using the native video calling app (unfortunately, availability is based on the telco/sim support) or
    (2) Connecting and disconnecting to an external display using Smart View or Samsung Dex
    Not the most convenient but this maybe useful for some.

    Hi
    This software is for older Android unfortunately.

    View attachment 5557133
    Unfortunetly you didn't read the readme or the OP of this thread. Otherwise you would know this is done "by design". The app targets lower Android versions in order to save you from having to use adb/root for most of it's functions.

    Please check v8.0.0-alpha7 update. Thank you.

    Does this version fix android auto bug?

    Had a few thoughts:
    1. Is it possible to have an ON/OFF switch in the app?
    2. Is is possible to bypass certain apps from reducing hz? like when watching a youtube video, the framerate should not drop
    I think it's fixed. Never occured on my testing.
    1. Let me check
    2. Per-app setting currently in the works
