Tested the 2.0 version and noticed that apps would not adept to the resolution change, but you beat me to it. Thanks to the beta it is now working. Now I don't need to change resolution manually anymore when I want to play shadow run.

The text size is ridiculously small on QHD ingame.

:good: much appreciated

Thanks for testing it out! :) I'll be testing ingress separately, soon.

Can you please test whether per-app profiles are working in Galaxy s6 with the latest beta update?
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Can you please tell me what happens when you manually change the resolution and then run ingress? i.e. is the problem only when using per-app profiles, or is it there even if you manually set a resolution?
[Android Apps and Games] 5nickers:
When i set the resolution to FHD on the whole device, ingress will start the correct way and looks the way i want. I only encounter the problem with per app profiles.

In a Moto G 2014 with 4.4.4 stock, keeps crashing and FC Nova Launcher. I have Xposed with several modules installed, Gravity Box lose the nav bar height value after each boot of screen shifter. Am i doing something wrong? Anyways, it is a great app, thanks for your time and dedication.

at last material design theme! thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
"at last"? o_O

It was using the same theme from the first version of the app! :D
[Android Apps and Games] iceeyes91:
Tested per-app profile with the following games so far:

Dragon Quest 8, 4 player reactor,goat simulator and shadowrun.

Except for goat simulator every other works fine.

The problem with goat simulator is that the resolution change seems to bug out the start of the app and it closes(not force closes). Setting resolution manually beforehand works just fine though.

Not a real bummer, but wanted to mention it.

Best regards

Works fine here on S6! Thank you, great work!

Screen Shift v2.1 beta has been promoted to production. Those who haven't signed up as a tester should be getting an update shortly.

This version works well in general, but there are problems in per-app profiles with certain apps. This is because of the fact that Screen Shift detects that current foreground app has changed just AFTER the app is launched, and some apps does not respect the change in screen resolution once its launched.

Somehow the new resolution must be set just BEFORE the app is launched. I'm looking into possible solutions for this.

Huge thanks for all the testing and feedback. :)
[Android Apps and Games] 5nickers:
An easy solution could be to launch the app from the screen shift app. Screen shift knows the resolution changes it and then launches the app.

Maybe you give us an extra tab for apps that start with a custom resolution, so we find them more easy.
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Yeah I was thinking of a similar solution.. Make a widget available which when touched will open an app drawer.. So screen shift will know when the app is launched. But before doing that I want to check whether there's any root method to find out when an app is about to be launched.
[Android Apps and Games] starboyreid:
Could you just make another app for the per app mode... Because your is messing with my default res and dpi. Btw. Your app doesn't work with modern combat 5:(

I have the 4K-capable Nvidia Shield Android TV hooked up to a 1440p monitor and it seems to be rendering the GUI in 1080p with no option to change it in the settings. I was hoping to try this app to see if it could help, however it's marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Is that for a good reason? (I can recover the device from a soft-brick but I don't want to) If not could somebody please upload the .apk for me to sideload?

See here for more details on my problem.

FYI, this doesn't seem to work at all on the Nexus 5 running Marshmallow. I'm stock, but rooted with the hellscore kernel.

It acts like it's applying the settings. It doesn't crash, but nothing changes. I attached a log cat of toggling the top switch with a custom resolution set.
[Android Apps and Games] iBuu:
Testing here with my SGS4 I9506 cm12.1 (for some reason other resolution changers fail) but per app profiles for at least paperama, dumb ways to die, robbery bob2 and angry birds 2 dont work or do anything and I have allowed it to run as system app.

Most notably there seems to be conflict with cm inbuild dpi selector and screen shift. Also the set on boot option doesnt work, at least after sometime after few seconds after reboot.

Relative inapp dpi/pixel mapping calculator would be a nice addition because im struggling to find those even on the google and there have been some time from my mathematic lessons :laugh:

How do you even calculate that, since pixels are in 4 blocks, getting the right resolution isnt simple as calcating ie. 1920/4 and 1080/4 I think not to say to relative dpi because that would mean pixel perfect lower resolution of 480*270 and DPI something like 100 on a 5" inch screen :D
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:

[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Damn, that is weird. I'll have to look into that. Meanwhile, this app is basically a wrapper around that command, so if it's not working, neither will the app. :(

LG G4 Per-app settings not working

Hello I have a LG G4 and I have been trying to get this working with my phone. Changing the resolution and dpi from the main screen works just fine, but when I try using the per-app settings the phone acts like nothing happens. I have version 2.1 installed

I am running the app on the LG G4 (H815T), stock LP 5.1, rooted with minimal issues. I think I had an issue with 1 app not retaining settings but the rest are working without incident.

Make sure *all* stock LG apps are running stock resolution, but DPI can be 540+. For all other apps, I set to 1080P resolution at 440 DPI.

Good luck. [emoji6]

May I report a bug here?

I'm trying to use the app at an LG G3 (D855 - ROM: Ressurection Remix - Marshmallow), but when app start, it ask for a reboot test:

If I click ok the app get so much lag for some seconds and then android says that app has stopped.

If I click "ok" the app get so much lag for some seconds and then android says that app has stopped.

If I click "cancel", app is usable, but when I try to change density, app asks again for reboot test, I click ok and it stops.

I have this problems when I use screen shift when using overscan on this app. I have posted a screen shot above. Here are my settings below I am running cm 12.1 unofficial 3/16/16 for lg v10 tmobile. The reason I used the overscan is because my status bar was cut off by the second screen on this phone so I found this app. This problem happens in YouTube also. Other like xda developers do this to. let me know if anyone has a solution to fix this problem in screen shift. System apps like phone,settings,ect are not affected by this.

Not working with Resurrection Remix M v5.6.7 [12.04.16]

I tried to set the resolution to FHD but it doesn't work with this app (neither with terminal emulator and "wm size 1080x1920" command) or any other app. There's just nothing happening, no reboots or anything.

What could be the problem? I did some google research but it seems to be working for everyone except me :(

anyone knows how to restore the Icon?

[Android Apps and Games] can_85:
Idea fo new functionality.

You can make sliders to position displayed image.

For example if i change only height pixels then image centers, resulting black screen from top and bottom. Can you make possible the screen to be positioned at the bottom or top half of display. Same thing for width. My digitizer is unresponsive at top of display and i want to use rest of it. Overscan does that but sometimes there's issues with keyboard for example.

My apologies if someone suggested that and for my bad English.
[Android Apps and Games] RaduNastase:
I tried it on my Galaxy S4, Omega rom 4.3, KT kernel, but sadly it doesn't work because soon after i apply, the phone always stays on a window loop with "TouchWiz stopped working". I had to reboot twice just as instructed.

[Android Apps and Games] ArkBlitz:
I'm currently having issues with the app on my Nexus 6P. I gave it root access, checked that changing the density didn't trigger a reboot, but whenever I try to actually change the resolution the app states "please enter valid inputs", even when I input the original resolution! Is it a problem with the app, or with my phone?

EDIT: Just found out it was actually my own fault, I needed to explicitly set a density along with the resolution. Maybe it should be included in the manual, anyway!

Thanks to the author for this great app, it saves me a lot of time without messing with setting and let me quickly able to use the phone.

I am using overscan but the issue is that many other app icons and UI got squeezed and not utilized the remaining space.

Is there a way to set the resolution and have it align left instead of center? that would perfectly solve the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Pierpie:
Need some help here.

When I first installed this app I found that changing that none of the options did anything, but after a while, I realized that it was because the superuser permission was not enabled for the app. I enabled it, but forgot to first reset the settings, so now my phone is unusable when booted.

I followed the instructions in the first post, installed sdk tools on my computer, and booted up the adb shell. (Although I am not sure if that was redundant or not, since I Team Win Recovery Project already has the Terminal option.) However, when whether I enter "wm size reset" or "am size display-reset", it is telling me "/sbin/sh/: wm: not found" or "/sbin/sh: am: not found" respectively. If I try it in TWRP I get the same, except "sh:" instead of "/sbin/sh/:" .

I couldn't find anyone with the same issue when searching for solution.

My phone is OnePlus 3t with TWRP installed, and I don't think I installed any updates on it since purchase.

When trying to use adb tools, I did it while my phone was in recovery screen, as the console couldn't find my device when I booted it normally. (And I was stuck in a flashing screen).

Any help is much appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] carloscolhao:
Hi, first of all, congratulations for this amazing work, and making it for free

I have an amazfit pace smartwatch, which runs a modified version of android 5.1.

I found you app extremely helpful to change the DPI and the overscan, which is crucial to interact with some apps (designed for the large screens of smartphones).

However, only the version 1.0 (from github) seems to work, the version 1.1 and 2.1 installs but crashes all the time the app is started.

It would be nice we could use version 2.1 to associate specific apps to custom DPI.

I intend to make a thread with this, I think it will help a lot of people, but better if we could associate specific apps.

Is there any change we can make to the app v2, for instance decompiling it an change some parameters in order to prevent it to stop every time it is started?

thank you very much.

[Android Apps and Games] ocliasom:
I need some help too, please reply.

So, I have a part of my screen where it cracked, and I can't see anything. I set the overscan at the top to maybe about to 18, ONLY the top. but, I have problems with it on some apps, the touch sensor are all shifted to the left when the app is on landscape mode, meaning if there is an X(close) button, I need to click on the left side of it to actually tap it, 'cause tapping on top of it doesn't work since every touch is shifted. is there any fix for this? I can't change the height in resolution changer 'cause both the top and the bottom changes, I only need the top part to go down and not the bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] yazichima:
I know a few people on this forum have asked already, but I'll just throw my voice in there too:

It would be great to have an option where you can set where the re-sized display is aligned (either to the top or bottom of the original screen). As other users have pointed out, the overscan option causes issues for certain app interactions (for me, it was the assistive touch button). Alternatively, if you know the appropriate commands for setting this, feel free to share!

Thanks for the app
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Unfortunately there is no way to rectify the overscan problems. The values entered into the app are directly passed to the wm command, and android system takes care of the rest. You can find more details about wm here: https://www.xanh.co.uk/control-device-display-with-wm/
