[MOD] Change Default Resolution to 4k - No root needed!

[MiniDemonic]

I haven't tried making any calls since switching to 4K using this method due to my sim card being to big and I haven't gotten my new sim card yet. Will probably get it tomorrow.

I'm going to do some PCMark battery benchmarks with it on 4K and on 1080p to see if battery life is affected but it's going to take a while. I will try to have it done by tomorrow and post my results here.

will this work on Z5 Premium?

Yes it will.

 

[SUPERSLEDZ]

Same here. Phone.app crashes.

4k res

Hi everyone has anybody had any luck with the phone dialler issue?
I've changed the resolution to 4k and it looks stunning the battery drain is not as bad I initially thought I love it especially with Hi res glass icons.
I' can make and cancel calls using a third party app dialler but receving calls it reverts to stock dialler app.

It frustrated but i dont think it can be done about it without root, default incoming call is never change. It is much better than Z5 Premium though as i see no problem with Screen shot, Z5 Premium even cannot make screen shot after change these value. Hopes someone have work around for this anyway

finally find the way to work fully for 3rd party dialer, here is my step

1. change to max resolution and dpi according to OP.
2. install this dialer,i do not know for other one but this is i pick up because apart from default one i love using Google Pixel dialer so i use patch one just download and install normally.

3. Change default apps for phone to the one we install (see photos)
4. See photos for it all works, good thing in my opinion is you do not have to start calling using the one you just install. you just use the stock one as normal it will link to use the one we install automatically. in the meantime before anyone know how to work out for stock dialer (which i prefer more anyway)

Happy using, hit thanks for me if it works for you

Thanks man. I wasn't gonna try this until someone found a solution to the phone app problem.

Did anybody else have blank thumbnails on recent apps menu?

 

[magic_moe_]

Thank you, MOD works perfectly fine, tanipats dialer too.

 

[ycfung]

It's perfect 4K resolution. But I find that the thumbnails are missing when I try to switch between the apps in recent apps screen.

me too but i am not much concern of that anyhow if there is a way to fix then it is nearly perfect

I made a thread in the Z5P long time ago how to change the resolution and display density...

Long story short, you don't have to run 4K all the time as it will drain the battery faster.... When I got the XZP the first thing was checking the original density and it was 408 ( normal is 480 )

Most of the apps won't work with custom density as they are coded for 480/400/320/240 etc... ( increment 80 )

However with Nougat you can simply keep the resolution to 1080p and change the density to 300 dpi ( works great and everything is smooth )

You can go as low as 240/260 to get viber, gmail app and chrome etc... have the desktop UI ( tabs etc.. )

Help

I thought xz premium was set to 4k permanently? That's what set it aside from the last one I thought. How do I root please? And what is adb and ofc?

Before asking such questions, read more the already existing threads. This thread isn't made for your questions.

And the XZP isn't always set to 4K. You can easily do it, but in my opinion it isn't worth it.

 

[numero13]

thank you for the tutorial, i changed to 4K and its visible the diference.
the only thing i done diferent was the wm density 818, for me its the best, but you can use other values too

i resume the resolutions i tested:

1080p (phone app work perfect)

Type "adb shell"
- Type "wm size 1080×1920"
- Type "wm density 480"

1440p (phone app work perfect)

Type "adb shell"
- Type "wm size 1440×2560"
- Type "wm density 640"

4K (phone app doenst work perfect)

Type "adb shell"
- Type "wm size 2160×3840"
- Type "wm density 818

I follow the mod, the resolution works great, but the phone app crashes and the dialer fix is also not working as it keeps defaulting to main phone dialer. Even after updating permissions

 

[darveniza]

Numero13: Thanks for your posting with the different settings. I did the 1440p setting and it took it fine but with the density setting of 640 it states that the density is not found???

 

[bummerboy]

too unstable. settings app keeps crashing. settings>apps crashes after all apps are loaded
random reboot
not usable

for me it worked but you can try others too

after 480 increment 80 ando you shoul have no problem
Example:
480 + 80 = 560
560+ 80 = 640
...
