[ROOT] Switcher 4K for Z5/XZ/XZ2 Premium v1.3

[ninjy]

Switcher 4K​

Hi,

I built a simple app that allow you to quickly switch the virtual resolution between default 2K and 4K without a computer.

Unfortunately, since the command is not available on the userland, the process needs superuser permission to change virtual resolution.

If you somehow manage to break your resolution, especially leading to crash loop of Xperia Home, check on other topics how to restore the original values.

Since the custom feature can be "dangerous" for the reasons above, I added a check when save and switch custom values to avoid any resolution under [email protected] (Z5 Compact default values).

Min Android version: 6.0
Target: 9.0



Screenshot(s):

Changelog:

v1.3: Updated to SDK 28 (Android 9.0).
Updated description string with "XZ2".
Removed useless email button.
[COLOR="Red"][B]Uninstall previous versions before installing this one ![/B][/COLOR]

v1.2: Implemented customization button and form. Values are saved in app storage.

v1.1: Implemented App Shortcuts (Android 7.1+).
Switching to 2K now reset to OEM values, not set 1080p ones.

v1.0: Release.

Planned in future releases (low probability..):

* Tab with buttons in the notification list.
* Widget with buttons, maybe.
* Any idea?

Download:
Grab the APK here or it is available on Play Store.

Nice! It would make more sense if it said "Xperia Z5/XZ Premium though!
Can you please change? :angel:

Hey,

Released v1.2 that add custom values support. Check the first post.

If anyone have more accurate values about the limit resolutions supported by Xperia Home, let me know I will update the security checks.

Yes, it is one of the goal of this app, being able to switch back to 1080p without a PC to use apps that doesn't support 4K.

The phone app is the most common known issue.

Is the battery consumption less?

 

[ninjy]

Not much for usual usage, I suppose much if you play 3D games.

There is another topic I don't remember where speaking about this.

When set to 4k, the phone app no longer goes. g8141

Wow looks like weird...

What definition are you using ?

As described looks like a screen issue of your phone.. It happens in 1080p too ?

I saw that the best dpi on the 4k resolution without crashing any app wasn't 807 but 706, 720 or 721, I don't remember exactly sorry

This app do the same job like adb command (wm resolution 2160x3840)?

As far as I know, it does the exact same thing as the ADB command (except through an app).

It said that the newest file couldn't be found (error: 410)?
I tried the older version (1.1) And the program doesn't seem to do anything, is there a way to check?
