How to force MIUI to use 90hz instead of 120hz. (No root needed)

[yliam73]

If you have stock MIUI or EU rom and you want to use 90hz instead of 120hz to save a bit of battery, please read this guide carefully.

Steps to follow:
1. Set your refresh rate to 120hz
2 Download and install SetEdit from the Play Store or as an apk.
3. Switch to System Table
4. Find "user_refresh_rate" key and change value to 90
DONE!

You can check the screen refresh rate by using the Power Monitor on Development Settings.
This setting will persist even after reboot. Just don't change the refresh rate in settings.

Thank you!:fingers-crossed:

Try that and not lock at 90....seems like dynamic moving from 90 to 60 to 120.....i though it supposedly to stay at 90....

Custom Rom Or Root only.

It's working. What MIUI region build you got?

Working on mine, I got the MIUI region global version.

Stable at 90Hz. I'm checking it using the power monitor tool.

Thank you.

No such key in System Table.

The option does not exist

Hi, it seems in eu_global Roms key is missing. Just add it.
In the EU Rom you can just add the key "user_refresh_rate" with value 90, Power Monitor will show 90Hz.
Thx OP

Edit :doesn't solve the Problem with dynamic refresh rate in games though.

It works just fine. Looks like the screen refresh rate is h̶a̶r̶d̶ locked to 90Hz.

It actually gives you an option to use 90Hz refresh rate in place of the stock 120Hz as OP said in the title. Maybe to save the battery and still have a smooth experience. Doesn't make that big of a difference either way imo.

It just doesn't work, I set the frequency to 120Hz, installed this app, set the value to 90Hz, checked with the monitor and it was fixed at 120Hz

Make sure you gave the app permission to Modify system settings. It works for me even on 12.0.4.0. Global. Had to do it again after the update though.

Thanks op. Miui 2.0.4 global. Worked as expected.

 

[Ayman ae]

12.0.2
Installed setedit
Changed 120 to 90
And it does not work
Even after checking developer options display monitor
Do I need to be rooted or something?

 

[Bryceicle1971]

No luck for me. Stays on 60hz with low frame rate. Might reset an try a reboot

 

[Bryceicle1971]

Worked after a bit of playing round an a few reboots. Not every application or game is 90hz or 90fps.

But can include when it worked with 'bullet Force'.

Thanks works ?
